A:Kya huwa..

Z:Kuch nahi.. She smile forcibly..

He just wanted to hold her but he knew she don't like it in public places specially in hospital premises..

He opened the back door and eyed her to sit.. She followed and sat down inside the car but before closing the door he caressed her cheek..

A:Sham me milta hun.. Hmmm

She nodded and he closed the door..

She came home and Lubna ask her to join for the lunch they three had lunch.. After that zubia came to their room and start to pack his stuff for seminar.. He packed all the clothes and necessary stuff..His some pair of night pants and t-shirts are there in the Islamabad house so she avoided that,after finishing she decided to take a nap and give some rest to her brain.

It's evening He come back home..Had tea with his parents and informed them about the visit...Usman suggest to take driver with him, which he agreed.

A:Zubia Kya hai..

L:Mai gayi thi room me awaaz Magar woh Itne sukoon se sorahi thi ke dil hi nahi chaha usse jagane..

A:.. Hmm.. Mai Jake dekhta hun.warna nikal ne me dere hojaye gi..

He came to their room and saw his bag Already packed and placed in the corner his new set of cloth is on bed.

She is sleeping so peaceful like a small baby but one thing his eyes caught and a smile form on his face is how she holds his shawl tightly in her fist close to her chest.

He came forward and caresses her cheek and kiss her forehead,and went to fresh up..

She get awake by the clicking sound of bathroom and saw his phone,volet and car keys.

MmShe thought to pack some snacks and came in kitchen were the maid informed her that he already had tea.

So she only packed some snacks and his favorite brownies made by her which he loved.

She come to their room and saw him near the dressing table all ready in his suit. She putted the boxes in the bag and call maid to give this bag to driver.

Asfand watching every thing silently He is giving her to relax her mind herself. When she is not at all ready to talk she took his watch and went to her gesturing her to put it on.. She took the watch and make him to wear.. She is about to turn he hold her by her elbow making her turns to see him..

She looked in his eyes and there is alot of unsaid conversation.. He simply caressing her cheeks and pulled her to himself..she immediately rest her head on his chest,he tightly hold her in his arms..

A:Mai Jald aajon ga...

Z:Hmmm..

A:miss karogi..

Z:Hmmm

A:Na jaon...

After registering his words she looked up at him still standing in the same position..

He has a soft smile on his face,she rolled her and again rest her head on his chest.

A:Kya huwa Hai.. Sach me na Joan..

Z:Nahi Asfi Ap Jayen.. It's important warna Dr.Shehroz Apko nahi kehte....

Next day also he messaged her asking for her breakfast and all.. In evening when she returned home everything was good.

On the other hand Zubia felt like her world shattered...The incident again flashed in front of her eyes.. She drop the phone.. And sat like a statue.. After like hours she came to her senses by the continuous ringing of her phone.. She knew it was him..but how she will talk,he will get notice her situation by just her voice but she try to talk not want him to disturbed him...she picked the call..

Z:Janti hun..

She said with a light smile.

She doesn't said anything to Asfand about khalas call..Otherwise he will show up here as soon as possible.. She don't want anything to go wrong with the deal and seminar..

The next day also she did not talk much with him.. She just messaged him she is busy will talk later.. Lubna also noticed her change behavior and asked her but she denial giving work excuse..

She don't want to go home to again deal with a sleepless night that too without him.. She willing put her night shift and inform Lunba about that.. At morning she came have some breakfast.. And went to sleep..she got a call about a emergency case.. She rushed to bathroom taking a shower she came out and get ready to go..

It's night now, she checked up on patient one more time and come to doctor's room.. She only had a tea in the evening.. She do not feel like to have lunch and also she slip the dinner.. As so many things are going in her head.. The one thing she don't want to think is about Rehan but she not able to do that.. It's like someone stabbed her heart once again with the bitter phase of life...

It's the 3rd day of seminar He finished up with everything so he decide to come early.. Zubia phone was not reachable already he senses something is not good with his wife but can't figure out what..

It's one in the night when he reached home.. He had left Islamabad after dinner.. When Usman opened the door he met met him with a hug..

A:..nahi.. Woh actually uska phone off aaraha tha.. Maine soncha surprise hi dedun..

U:hmm.. Theek hai Tum bhi rest Karlo..

A:... Baba Mai hospital hoke aata hun.. Ap door lock karlen..

Usman nodded in yes as there is no way to stop him.. He left for hospital with a unknown feeling in his heart..

In hospital she feel sleepy,she just closed her eyes to take a nap,just a minutes pass she again witness the horrible nightmare of her life.. She immediately jerked up from sleep...she's all become sweaty and cold.

She stood up and splash lots of water on her face.. After relaxing a bit she decide to make a cup of tea.. She went to tea maker.. She is putting the sugar when suddenly she felt dizzy the jar slipped from her hand, the last thing she saw is someone running to her before she collapse on floor she felt a pair of strong hand holding her tight and she fainted..
