"Ek tery bina jeena hi to nhi seekha es dil ny..❤"

~

It's been a week to Anfal being in hospital. Her wound still not cured fully and I didn't want to take any risk so I didn't try to take her home.

Well!! Believe me! It's been too difficult to handle her. She is just like a kid. Always stubborn and whiny.

"Anfal! Come on take your medicines!!"

I said sternly.

"No!! I am telling you to sing a song for me since last week and you are being ignoring me. Do you know how many times rehab bhai sang for Tooba bhabhi?"

She said making faces.

This is her new tantrum for me to sing a song for her and she is stuck on it!!

"Alright!! I will show you something if you take your medinice."

I sighed.

"Really?"

She said excitedly.

" Yes!"

"Promise me first cause you back out so easily every time."

She said seriously.

"Alright my Lord!! I am promising now open your mouth."

She smiled and opened her mouth.

After giving her medicine I asked her to close her eyes and took my guitar from behind the sofa.

I bought this guitar years ago but played too little. I know how much of a music freak she is so I brought it here.

"Woahhh!!"

She squealed looking at guitar.

"Is it yours?"

She asked excitedly and I hummed.

" Will you play? For me?"

"Only if you promise to eat your food and medicines without drama."

"Ok ok I promise!!"

"Ok then!!"

I took guitar from her.

"Let me get you on wheel chair. We can't play music here. You know therr are patients all over here. Let's go to child ward. They will also be happy."

I smiled.

" No I don't want to get on wheel chair."

" Why?"

"Took me in your arms!!"

She said throwing her hands in air.

This girl!!!

I sighed and scooped her in my arms hanging my guitar on my back and stepped out.

"Ibtihaj!!"

She said looking here and there.

" Why were we here? In gynae department?"

She asked and my feet froze.

"Answer na? Wjat exactly happened to me?"

She said panicking.

"A na nothing!! Actually there was no other empty room so they shifted you here. "

I composed myself quickly and answered her plastering a smile on my lips.

She mouth 'oh' and a gain started gazing here and there.

"So we are here!!"

I said making her sit on one of the bed.

"Sir look this child is not taking his medicine."

A nurse whined looking at ibtihaj.

He smiled at that child who was sitting with swollen cheeks.

" Why my champ is not taking medicine?"

I asked pinching his nose.

"I am so bore here."

He whined.

"What is this?"

He said pointing at guitar.

"Its a musical instrument. I will play if you take your medicine."

"Ok"

He smiled brightly.

With in a moment many children gathered around Anfal and me cheering and smiling.

It seems to be the best moment when you know that the other one is smiling because of you and that was what I was feeling at that time looking at all those breathtaking smiles.

I cleared my throat and touched the strings of guitar. As a result a melodious tune rang in room.

I joined the tune murmuring lyrics.

🎵Sun meri shehzadi, ma hun tera shehzada

Bahoon ma ly k tujhy ma karta hun wada

Aay jaan e tamanna meri!

Ma kha k qasam teri!

karta hun iqrar!

mar bhi gaya to ma tujhy karta rhunga pyar!🎶

(Listen my princess, I am your Prince!

I promise taking you in my arms

O my Life! I am confessing

I will keep on loving you even if I die!)

I smiled touching my nose woth Anfal's.

"Yeyyyyy!!!!"

All the children birst into cheers and claps.

"That was great!!"

Anfal shouted excitedly.

"Thank you!!"

I smiled back pinching her cheek.

Later Anfal played with children passing the pillow and did crazy dares while I sat on side looking at my dearest and cute wife. That time I was regretting that why the hell I never tried to look at her this side.

I looked through window and saw sun which was about to set.

"Anfal let's go now!!"

I said standing up.

"Okay!!"

She nodded and kissed the cheek of one of my boy sitting in her lap.

"Api!!"

He called upon her.

" Yes sweetheart!!"

"Kiss bhaiya too!!"

(Brother)

He said pointing at me.

" No no I am okay!!"

I said quickly.

" Look he is good without it."

Anfal shrugged.

" No No!! Please na Api! Please!!"

One by one all the other children joined him.

"He is so good that he brought you here and also sang such a beautiful song."

One of the girls said.

Anfal looked at me and I nodded bending to her level.

I turned my face other side giving her ful excess to my cheek.

She giggled before putting her soft rosey lips on my cheeks.

"Yeyyy!!!"

Children shouted.

"Allah Hafiz!!"

After saying Allah Hafiz I scooped Anfal again in my arms cause madam didn't want to get on wheel chair.

" Ibtihaj!!!"

After some moments of silence she said.

" Yes!!"

"Am I too heavy?"

"Huh? No!! Why?"

"Then why are you making such faces."

She said sadly.

" No it's just I am tired."

I said touching our forehead together.

"Let's sit on grass and watch sun set."

She said pointing towards garden in front.

I nodded and stated walking towards it.

I made her sit on bench carefully and sat beside her .

"I also want to know how to play guitar."

She said thinking.

"Baahon ma aao!!"

(Come into my arms!)

I said withteasing from while she looked at me with wide eyes.

"I mean so that I can tell you na."

She nodded and turned around in such a way that her back was facing my chest.

She pit guitar on her lap and encircled my arms around her pulling her closer.

We played 2 or 3 tunes which got very quickly.

"Hey look at there!! Such a cutie she is!!"

She squealed pointing in front of us where a baby girl was sitting in her mother's lap but continuously looking and smiling at Anfal.

"Ibtihaj yar!! I want to hold her."

She pouted.

Just that lady came towards us smiling.

"Can you please hold her for a while? I wamt to call my husband but she is continuously snatching my phone away."

She said and Anfal looked at me shocked.

Look how Allah fulfills our wishes without us knowing.

Anfal grinned brightly.

"What's her name?"

"Anfal!!"

Her mother said and Anfal again looked at me shocked.

Anfal smiled spreading her arms and little Anfal jumped into her lap.

Her mother smiled and went on side to call.

"Aww!! Look Ibtihaj how cute she is!! Even I guess I wasn't that much cute in my childhood."

She said kissing her cheeks.

"Yeah you were not cute but cuter."

I said and smiled genuinely.

" How do you know?"

"I know everything."

I shrugged.

"Yeah yeah Mr. I am perfect can you please take a picture of us? Anfal and Anfal?"

She said smiling brightly.

"Smile!!!"

I said opening camera and that little amfal too looked towards camera smiling and I clicked their picture.

"I must say that this little Anfal is also a photofreek like you."

I pinched her tiny nose showing pictures to Anfal.

We played with little Anfal for some more time and her mother came.

"I can see how familiar she got woth you in just a little time. She is liking you alot or else she doesn't go in everyone's lap."

Her mother smiled looking at how little Anfal was hugging Anfal.

"Can you take a picture of us?"

Anfal asked that lady and she nodded.

"Come closer na!!"

She said glaring at me.

I sighed and put my arms around her shoulders and she put Anfal on her lap kissing her and that lady clicked the picture.

"Ma Sha Allah!! You both are looking so beautiful together. May Allah fill your lap soon with a cute baby like you."

She pinched Anfal's cheek.

"Ameen!!"

Anfal smiled brightly.

I felt a ping in my heart.

After that she took baby amfal and went away.

"Byeeee!!!"

I shoke my head on Anfal who was still shouting at their back.

"Anfal they had gone!"

I said.

"Ibtihaj!!"

She said almost laying on me whole her back touching my chest.

I hummed playing with her knuckles.

"You know I will love our kids too too too much!! I will play with them whole day. I will sing with them. I will buy them lot of teddy bears."

She was saying enthusiastically and I will feeling as is someone was shattering my heart into tiny tiny pieces.

Unknowingly I pulled her more closer and hide my face in the crook of her neck.

She was taken aback but still didn't pull back.

I wanted to console her to make her peaceful and strong enough to overcome the upcoming storm. My heart was crying cause I was the reason that her dreams will shatter.

Pulling back I blinked my tears away and she smiled caressing my cheek with her palm.

I smiled and took her palm in my hand and kissed it.

I was about to kiss her cherk when she turned her head sideways and my lips landed directly on her neck.

I pulled back with apologetic look.

She looked at me blankly.

"I m sorry. I was just.."

My words died on my lips when she leaned closer kissing the tip of my nose.

I smiled.

"Let's go!"

She said and I nodded.

The sun had almost set and we started our journey towards her room.

____________

" Come on Ibtihaj you are stinking man!! I am here with bhabhi. You can go!!"

Shaaz said making faces.

" You and your exaggeration levels."

Ibtihaj said rolling eyes.

" You can go. Shaazi is here with me."

Anfal said smiling.

" Will you be okay?"

"Yeah I will!! And yeah go and also sleep for some hours. Your sleep had been too much disturbed."

She smiled.

"Alright!!!"

I took her hand in mine and brought it to my lips.

"O my innocent eyes!!"

Shaz said dramatically.

"Shut up!!!"

Both Anfal and Ibtihaj shouted simultaneously.

They looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

Looking at them laughing together Shaaz prayed to Allah to keep them like this till eternity.

"Allah Hafiz!!"

Ibtihaj hugged her one last time and went out.

He didn't know why didn't want to leave her. Something was stopping him but he shrugg it off and went towards his car.

_________

After taking a long calming shower Ibtihaj lay on bed sighing.

"Hayee my dearest bed!! Missed me?? I missed you too!!"

He smiled hugging his pillow.

"Lets call and check on her."

He sat up and dialled Shaaz'snumber.

"Hello Shaaz!!"

"Hello Romeo!!"

"Where is Anfal?? How She?? What's she doing? Did she feel pain again?"

He said rolling his eyes ignoring Shaaz's idiotic compliment.

"Woah!! Hold on bro!! Yeah she is all ok. Doctors took her for tests just now."

Shaz said.

"Tests?"

Ibtihaj sat up with a jolt.

" Yes they said thry had to do some tests."

"But Shaaz all her tests had been done this morning. None was left!! I also asked doctor to not do any test in my absence."

He shouted.

"Relax may be that was important."

"That's not funny Shaaz!! Not at all!! All of her tests were done. Where did they take her?"

"Yeah to lab!!"

"Go and check therr. I am not getting any good vibes from all this. Don't hung up and go."

Shaaz nodded and ram towards lab.

He opened lab door only to gasp.

"Shaaz? Shaaz what happened?"

"Ibtihaj!!"

"Yeah?"

"No one is here. Lab is all empty. All the apparatus are scattered here and there."

Shaz said looking at the horrible state of lab.

"What?? I am coming."

Ibtihaj hung up and ran towards door like a mad.

His heart was shaken up badly.
