Waazi said wrapping his arms around her (Tell me something)

She removes his hand standing and walking to the other couch sitting down far from him.

"Mai nahi bataoungi". She said stubbornly looking at her sketch (I won't tell)

"Ab maine kia kia?". He asked confused standing from the couch heading towards her (What did I do now)

He sits down in front of her on the floor placing his head on her lap,"Batao maine kia kia hai?". (Tell me what did I do)

She huffed because her mood swings are getting worse now she feels guilty all of the sudden.

"Beta, did you take your medicine?". She heard his mother voice from the stairs

She groaned, "I don't like medicine".

He lifts his head narrowing his eyes at her adorable face because she always whines when it comes to medicine.

"Did you do all of this to skip taking them?". He asked knowing she won't lie

She nodded looking at him with her duo-eyes, "Can I skip them?".

"No". He said deadpan, "There is no escaping medicine. I already had a mini heart attack watching you fainting these past few months a couple of times I wouldn't want another attack".

She rolls her eyes at his words, "It wasn't my fault".

He shakes his head taking the medicine from the table, "No, it's mine".

She nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, it is".

He chuckles handing her the medicine watching her intently as she makes a face looking at them but takes them anyways.

He always loves watching her do all these small things. He knows she hates a few things like eating her healthy breakfast every morning even he hates it but he wouldn't want to tell her that or she will throw her food away.

What he does let her do is to eat his portion along with her food. And she does eat more these days and he never minds sharing all of his food with her.

It is something he has fun doing; sharing his food with her. Somehow even when they go on their dates she will always be more attracted to his food than her own and will always look at him with her beautiful eyes pleading for his food even though he already was ready to give his food to her the moment it arrived he would still wait just for her eyes to look at him like that because it is just so beautiful to miss out and then she will happily enjoy his food while he eats whatever she gets- even if he doesn't like that food.

It happens a couple of times in these months- she is an amazing chef however she is too occupied these days so she sometimes burns the food or something is missing from it but he doesn't want to say such petty things to her.

She was his blessing why would he do such things to hurt her precious heart she has trusted him.

"You have to take care of yourself, Jaan e Maan". He said caressing her cheeks lovingly

"But I am doing everything". She said innocently, "Still those doctor says I need to do more. Should I grow a tree in myself?. I am eating all these plants I am sure even my body is shocked".

He laughs wholeheartedly hearing her words. It is something she learns from his mother- the sassy nature wasn't her thing she was too innocent in the start to say any such thing- she is still as innocent just at times his mother influence is just too prominent on her.

His mother loves her like her daughter. Anything and anyone who seem to even bother her thoughts his mother is the first one to deal with it. Mostly she fires anyone who doesn't know how to respect her and the relative which were angry for them cutting off his Khala came forward as well but his mother was the one who dealt with it. She didn't let a word reach her ears and he only found it when one of his cousins came to meet him in office.

Obviously, he was shocked at how many toxic relationships they were feeding around them and he wouldn't have ever questioned his own mother. He knows his mother is just as wise as his father and her decisions are only for their good.

Her father and brother reached to him because he made sure nothing of her family reaches her before him. They were apologising and asking for her to free them and he knows with a heart of gold like her she would have done it.

She was never taught to be selfish in her life. She saw her mother being abused and hearing everything yet serving those men throughout her life until she was met with death. How can she simply let go those teaching her young mind was fed with?.

It isn't easy for someone who has been taught to not care about themselves to teach again all over that they should. They don't learn over a day and no matter how much one hurt them their heart will still follow their mother footsteps.

Because their parents are their everything.

He blocked their voice from ever reaching her. He made sure that they stay behind bars all their lives until death and to never have any contact with her again.

He has seen her going through nights of suffering because of those people. There were nights she would be awake screaming to be saved from them and then he would hold her the whole night as his own heart bleed with her every tear that her precious eyes escape.

However, she has learned to look past those fears and live for herself after a lot of time falling on the ground. Just like how a child learns to walk on his own after falling a couple of time she has learned the same way.

Don't we all?.

We are meant to fall down on the ground to be able to learn to stand on our own.

We need patience, courage and will to do that and no one can ever stop us. He was proud of her so much that whenever he would find her name anywhere especially the billboard he would always stop his car on the side standing and admiring that billboard for a long time.

It's just so unreal.

Watching her growing into such a fine woman and now a mother was a kind of blessing he cannot even begin to explain. He remembers the time she came to know about it her anxiety was mixed with her happiness. But he stayed by her side until her anxiety was no more and only her peace stays within her. It was hard to accept to be a mother- it is not always that a mother needs to be ecstatic to be a mother. She is the one who is the most fearful especially in a situation she came from she wasn't even sure about so many things.

In those time, he takes a hold of her hugging her tightly assuring her that he will turn the world around just for her.

Then they pray together.

For their happiness and for their children.

"You have an event to attend tonight". He said softly

She sighs, "I don't like parties".

He shakes his head standing forwarding his hand to her and she takes his hand immediately and he slowly lifts her to stand beside him.

"We always have fun in them". He said smiling

"We do". She said nodding

*****

She stands in front of the mirror struggling to place her hair in a decent manner because her hands are numb with the makeup she had to do.

She doesn't like parties but she likes the attention she always gets from her husband. He has proved to her time over time that she has done right to allow her heart to beat for him. To give him a chance to prove himself.

"Apne khuda ka jitna shukar adaa karuin kum hai". He said wrapping his hand around her waist kissing her cheeks (I cannot thank my Lord enough)

"Acha?". She said softly placing her hand down feeling them getting even worse (Really)

He holds her hand after removing his hands from around her bringing her to sit on the bed. He takes her hand slowly massaging them easing her earlier pain in a few moments. She understood what his father meant by saying that once you love someone you can tell anything about them without even them speaking a word.

Because he always manages to know about her even when she doesn't make it obvious he will still know it. She was always amazed at how fast he starts to grasp her every action and everything but then when she starts to do the same she understands that the love they had for one another can make them do anything.

An understanding was the important step of love just like respect.

"Ji. Ap meri zindagi mai un ki waja se toh ayein hain, un ka shukar toh mai kabhi adaa na kar sakho". He said smiling looking at her tired face (Yes. You came to me because of him how can't I not thank him for it)

He knows she gets tired easily these days but this party was in her honour and he wants her to feel that pride.

"I don't know much about tying hair but I can do something". He offered

She nodded without even caring what he will do because simply him doing anything to her seem magical.

He ties her hair in a bun after some tries because he used to tie his mother hair at times which he learned online when his mother was sick. He moves to hold her hand as they descended down the stairs not before going to their mother room to kiss her goodbye while she was asleep.

*****

They enter inside the hall with was grand with all the lighting and decoration did in her honour and her achievement reaching worldwide. It is said when your goals are set and you work hard for them you are meant to reach a higher destination. She never deviated from her goal to bring her culture to light without having any outside influence.

And today she is world known designer.

After the greeting he made her sit down removing her shoes so she can relax her body a little without stressing it too much.

The last days of her due date are the hardest for both of them but they are going strong together to welcome their world soon.

"Will you have a dance with me, my lady?". He said forwarding his hand to her

"You forgot the shoe, hero". She said softly

He bends down helping her to wear her shoe gently holding her hand taking her to the dance floor. He wraps his hands around her petite body that he can never have enough of enjoying watching her eyes focused solely on her. He kept the pace even slower to not burden her much as they stay in their own world.

"Tum ittni haseen ho, ya mujhe lag rahi ho?". He said giving her his undivided attention (are you this beautiful or you appear this beautiful only to me)

She laughs, "Bus karein ap". (Stop it)

He leans closer to her with his hand moving to play with her earring," Yeh toh nahi ho sakta. Ab apni biwi ki tareef karnay se mujhe koi nahi rukh sakta". (This cannot happen. No one can now stop me from complimenting my wife)

She laughs at his words shaking her head.

"I don't see anything funny". They heard Maham voice

"Aur agr koi rukhay bhi toh mai konsa rukh jao ga". He said rolling his eyes continuing to dance ignoring Maham presence (And if someone tries to stop me I am not going to let them)

"Now you will not even look at your own cousin". Maham said angrily

"Mere liye toh tum pehle bhi haraam thi, ab toh ittni haseen biwi k baad toh mai kabhi kisi aur ko dekhnay ka soch bhi nahi sakta". He said looking at his wife as he places a strand of her hair away, "Chalein ab?". (You were forbidden for me even before and now that I have my beautiful wife with me why will I ever look at you) (Should we leave)

"Ji". She said tiredly leaning on him

He wraps his hands around her taking her to their car once they start the journey he holds her hand but a moment later she screams in pain stopping his heart at once.

It was time.

*****

He heard her painful cries of hours though he was with her through the first few hours he was pushed away later. He wanted to still be with her she is someone who still remains thankful to her Lord in such high pain that she was going to bring life to the world and he had tears in his eyes the whole time.

Even when he cannot take her physical pain away he tried everything in his power to take her mind off it.

Then he heard his child cries and he knows that his Lord had indeed showered his blessing. He immediately falls on his knees going into sujood to thank his Lord for this blessing he had bestowed on him.

His mother was equally ecstatic as she went to the mosque in the hospital to pray for her daughter health.

After a few more hours they have shifted to the normal room and everything was normal for both of them. After he prayed the thankful prayer to his Lord he went inside the room to find both of his lives sleeping peacefully. Her face was still pale filled with pain and sweat from the battle she has won and he couldn't help but feel his heart-tugging more towards her.

She was indeed his blessing.

He heard his child distress cries and before her mother wakes up he immediately went to her cot looking down at her beautiful eyes looking at him. He had prayed day and night to have a daughter in his hands. His heart always desired to have a daughter just like her mother and today his prayers were answered.

After sending another quick prayer to his Lord to grant him the power to take care of this new life he forwards his hand slowly bringing her gently to his chest. The moment she was in his hand his eyes starts to brim with tears so much that they freely flow down his face.

"Rouhi". He mutters kissing her cheeks (my soul)

His daughter moves in his hands restless and he tries to calm her down.

"She won't stop moving because you are crying, Waazi. She can feel your emotions". He heard his wife tired voice

He turns around looking at her through his wet eyes, "I am so thankful to you, Meri Jaan" (my life)

He walks towards her helping her to sit on the bed placing their daughter in her arms as she cries looking at her too.

"She is so pretty". She gushed caressing her cheeks

He wraps his arms around them knowing he had the world now and he would never allow any pain to ever come to this world of his until his death.

"You are both a blessing in my life". He said softly, "I promise to cherish you all my life".
