ٹوٹے ہوا دل کیسے جوڑوں میں؟

کیوں خدا نے ہمیں جُدا کیا؟

ہر نائی صبح میں صرف تمہارا نام لیتا ہوں

زندگی اب تمہارے بنا ادھُوری ہے میرے بچے

اب کچھ پہل کی صفت نہ رہا ہے۔

(How do you mend a broken heart?

Why did our God tear us apart?

Each new morning I speak your name.

Life in the world is not the same

without you My child.)

Yumna was now blossoming like a flower. She had been never this happy in her whole life. She was blooming day by day. Maybe this is what is called Love. She was the most happy girl right now on this planet. She was feeling like a Princess. After all she was going yo be a mother soon. Her whole life she had never felt This much happiness but Happiness doesn't stays much.

Behroze on the other hand was drowning himself more in work. He's ecstatic and happy when he knew that Yumna was expecting but he didn't show it. He was more reserved now. Gone the carefree Behroze. Now he was day by day Behaving like a fifty year old not a twenty five year old.

It was the six month of Yumna's pregnancy when one night she felt a sharp pain through her body and when she got up too see what had happened to her. She saw her Pajamas were covered in blood. Behroze was not their as he was out of country on a business trip.

She didn't know what to do. She was scared about her child. She quickly got up and then ran towards her Mother in laws room.

It has been hours since Nasreen begum had waiting outside the operation theatre. She became so worried when her daughter in law came in this state Infront of her. She was a very brave lady but seeing her like this her heart ached she was constantly praying for the well being of Yumna and her baby.

"Congratulations Miss You're blessed with a daughter."

When the doctor told her about her grand daughter she nearly jumped on her to hug her but she restrained herself From doing it. Instead she got furious when she saw the worry on doctors face.

"Miss Nasreen..... I'm sorry but your daughter in law is in critical condition and baby girl is also a premature born just hope that they both will survive. This coming 24 hrs are very harsh."

With that said the doctor left her.

Behroze would have never thought when he was returning From his business trip. He would find the news of his daughter's death. Unfortunately that little child didn't survive in this world. She just live a total of 5 hrs 25 minutes and 30 seconds on this planet earth. Then she left Yumna and Behroze in a deep ocean of sadness and hollowness.

When Behroze was lifting the Janazah(coffin) of his 5hrs 25 minutes and 30 seconds old daughters. He felt like the most poor person on earth. He can hear the Sobbing of his mother clearly. But what made him more tensed was Yumna's condition she wasn't crying nor saying anything. She was just clutching the little piece of sonography that had their Daughters mark.

Behroze named his First Child and Daughter as Rehmat Shah. Rehmat Shah died at the day of her own birthday. God took away the flower he had given to Behroze and Yumna.

Smallest coffins are the heaviest to carry.

Time heals everything indeed it was true. Time healed everything Behroze was now more focused on business and Yumna. Yumna stayed in depression but she got out of it because of Behroze's constant help and love. She had been totally dependent on Behroze. And due to Behroze's continuous nagging Yumna had resumed her education. She was taking online classes and doing her bachelor's in psychology. She really wanted to be a psychologist.

It was an year since their daughters death. When Yumna got to know she's expecting again. Whole family was happy but they are Also afraid after what happened in her first pregnancy. Nasreen begum had instructed everybody not to give any kind of tension too Yumna. All of them were taking care of her like she's a Queen and they're her servants. Behroze also gave her whatever she demands

Yumna was laying on hospital bed again and now she had delivered a healthy baby boy. She was so happy that she her child was healthy and fine a lone tear escaped her eyes when she saw him for the first time. He was exactly like her daughter little and beautiful and so cute.

She was now crying thinking about her daughter. Behroze seeing this hugged Yumna and told her that everything's going to be great again.

Nobody new when that healthy baby boy passed away in his sleep. Nobody new why all of a sudden that healthy baby boy died because of breathing problem.

That day Behroze and Yumna lost their second child. Their cute son Mohammed Ali Shah.

But as the saying goes time heals all.

Yumna got Busy in her studies and Behroze throws himself in work. None of them tried to talk about the death of their two children.

Its been three years they were in same routine Yumna was doing her master's and after the Demise of their daughter and son they both have been living like dead.

Nasreen begum loves Yumna but she loves her son more and just like any typical mother she also wanted to see her grandchildren before dying and seeing that in three years Yumna had not bore a child. She decided to do the second marriage of Behroze. She knows Behroze will never agree to this that's why she emotionally blackmailed Yumna to talk with Behroze about his second marriage and made him get ready for it.

With a heavy heart Yumna decided to talk with Behroze about his second marriage.

"Behroze i want to talk."

"Hmm say I'm listening."

"Behroze aap Dusri shaadi kar lein."

(Behroze you do your second marriage.)

Behroze looked at her. He wasn't angry he was shocked.

"And why will i remarry? As far as i know I've already had a beautiful wife!"

He said with a beautiful smile.

"Behroze mein apko aulaad nahi de sakti. Pichle teen saal mein mai ummed se nahi hui. Aap bas Dusri shaadi kar lein. Kab tak yunhi beaulad rahenge?"

(Behroze i couldn't give you a child in this three years I've not gotten pregnant. You just do your second marriage. For how much time you'll stay childless?)

Behroze didn't say anything instead he got out of the room.

Behroze hadn't come home since a month and Yumna was going more into depression she just do her Prayers and read Quran everyday. She had stopped eating. She was barely living.

She was praying to her Dua.

"Ya Allah. I've never complained about anything. I've never complained when you took away my two children. I've not complained when Ammi started talking about Behroze's second marriage. But now I'm complaining to you Allah. Please give me back my Behroze. I can't Live without him. I will die if anything happens to him. Ya Allah please take it as my last wish give me back my Behroze."

She was crying while making her Dua. When she heard voices from outside. She quickly got up and then she got out of the room. Her breath got hitched when she saw Behroze standing their with a little five something year old girl. She was looking like a beautiful doll Yumna's lips stretched into a smile when she saw her.

"Ammi you wanted grandchildren right? Then take her she is your grand daughter. And yes I'm not remarrying anyone. I'm going to sleep now."

Behroze was going towards his room dragging that five year old kid with him. He saw Yumna wrapped up in White clothes. .

"Yumna Take her. She's our daughter now. And yes she's my third child. My two children died but I've not forgotten them any moment in my life. Inshallah in after life we will reunite with our Rehmat and Ali."

Behroze left leaving a stunned Yumna.

Yumna took that little girl in her arms and kissed her lovingly. Finally her the mother in her is getting what she always wanted.

"What is your name baby?"

She asked the little kid.

"Mannat" she replied while showing her little white teeths.

Mannat was daughter of a prostitute. Her mother died doing an overdose of drugs. Mannat was living on streets since then. Nobody dared too look after her. And one pleasant day she met Behroze. Behroze was driving in a haze. He would've gotten into accident if that little girl hasn't came Infront of his car. Unknowingly sje saved Behroze's life.

Behroze then took her to police where he got to know about her tragic past. That little girl had suffered alot in such a young age. She didn't even knew the meaning of life yet. At that moment he saw her and thought he's Rehmat would have been her age if only she was alive. Behroze then decided that he'll Adopt mannat.

Mannat was now seven years old and Fortunately Allah had blessed Behroze and Yumna with two years old twins. Zainab Shah (Zaini) and Shehryar Shah.

Life is all about go with the flow. Happiness and sadness are a part of it. Everyone go through with their own battles. Instead of judging eachother on their weaknesses try to complete eachother. Just like Mannat completed Behroze and Yumna.

Mannat was a very curious kid. Behroze and Yumna loves her more than anything. They treat Zainab, Shehryar and Mannat the same.

"We made a wish to see Heaven

And God had blessed us with Mannat."

The End.
