🌹AFTER 4 DAYS

Its been 4 days since anyone last saw and hear from Rehab.

Tooba has broken badly. She neither eats nor speaks much.

Haider was clueless.

Yusha and Saim were confused.

*********

It was Sunday morning. A shiny and glomourous one.

But!! All that glomour you see is not gold!!

Beejan forcedfully brought Tooba on lunch.

Haider was sitting cross them on dining.

Sakina, their maid served them lunch.

Everyone was eating in dead silence..

This dead silence was broken by Haider's ringtone.

He took his phone out. He looked at caller I'd.

"Hello!"

Haider said while munching apple.

"Hello Haider!!"

Saim spoke in teary voice.

"Sai!!! Sai are you crying? Is everything alright?"

Tooba and beejan looked at each other in horror.

Everyone knows saim was the strongest of all who never cries.

"Haai..Haider!! Re...reha..Rehab!"

"What sai? What Rehab?"

"He..."

"He what? Man speak up! My heartbeat is increasing."

"Put your phone on speaker!"

Beejan commanded and Haider did same.

"Speak up saim! Everyone is listening you!"

"Haidet!! Our Rehab..He..he is..no.."

He paused.

Everyone can listen crying sounds from the other side.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Boom!!!!

And the world crashed for everyone in lounge.

A glass dropped from Tooba's hand.

Beejan gasped.

Haider was glued on his position.

"Saim!! What.. Are ...you..saying?"

Tooba managed to say.

"I am saying which is reality Bhabhi. Hold on to yourself!"

He said in teary voice.

"No!"

Tooba said standing up.

"NOOOO!!!"

"BEEJAN!!! BEEJANNNNN!! BEEJANNNN!!! ITS NOT TRUE!! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENED.

THEY ARE LYING. THEY ALL ARE LYINGGGG. I DON'T BEKIEVE IN ALL THIS SHIT! "

she screamed and and s started throwing glasses on floor.

Beejan tried to hold her who was getting out of control.

"Listen bhabhi!! The place where he went was blown up by a bomb blast. There is nothing other than ashes."

Saim said.

"No no!!"

"Look guriya!.. I ... M..I am..sor..sorry!! I couldn't...fulfill..my..promise!!"

Yusha said with hiccups from other side.

"SHUT UP!! SHUT UO YOU ALL!!"

she again roared.

"Bhabhi try to understand!"

Haider spoke.

"He is no more! "

Haider took one step towards her but was stopped by a sharp slap from Tooba.

Beejan and sakina gasped.

"Don't you dare! DON'T YOU DARE TO SAY THIS AGAIN!! UNDERSTAND!! UNDERSTANDDDDD!!!"

She roared on Haider.

Tears were rolling down on her cheeks.

"Shame on you! SHAME ON YOU ALL! WHICH TYPE OF FRIENDS YOU ARE? HAN? HOW CAN YOU SAY THIS? HOWWW??"

She clenched Haider's collar.

She was getting out of control.

She started throwing dishes on floor.

And was continuously yelling.

"NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO HIM....boom...YOU ALL ARE LIERS... boom...HE IS ALIVE..."

she again pushed Haider back who stumbled but didn't fall.

"SUNA TUMNY? SUNA!!! KUCH NAHI HUA USY.. ZINDA HAI WO..ZINDA HAI ZINDA HAI ZINDA HAIII!!""""

She started clenching her hair.

"Tooba control yourself.

TOOOBAAAA!!"

She was stopped by haider's slap.

She didn't say anything but slide down on floor and started crying with hiccups.

Her veil was scattered on floor. Haider took that and put around her shoulders and sat in front of her.

"Ahhhh!!! Haider!!!"

She screamed and Haider hugged her.

Tears were pooling around her.

"Sabr! Tooba sabr! Meri guriya sabr!"

Haider soothed her with teary voice while wiping her tears.

*---------------*

🌲

Its been 15 days of that news.

Fake news!!

I still don't believe in any of this.

I don't know why my heart is being stubborn here, on the acceptance of this news.

I folded my prayer mat and put it in our cupboard.

(Our cupboard, his and mine cupboard!!)

Looking at cupboard I remembered when Rehab told me to clean his cupboard indirectly and I roared on him.

Tears started pooling in my eyes and I couldn't blinked them away.

With the snap of fingers my cheeks became wet.

It had become normal for me to wet my eyes and cheeks by looking at his bed, sometimes by looking his clothes. His tooth brush in washroom and many more.

"Tooba..."

I heard beejan coming and quickly wiped my tears.

"G beejan!"

I said turning towards her.

"Beta actually! Ramzan is starting after 4 days so ..."

"So...?"

"So I want you to go with Haider to get some groceries. I am used to go for Ramzan shopping every year but I am not feeling well today so if you could do ms favour.."

"Its OK Beejan I will go. Just give me the list of things we have to buy."

"OK wait I am coming. You get ready he is waiting in porch."

I nodded and she left.

I tied my hijab and moved out of my room.

_________

We reached market.

"Bhabhi you wait here. I will come after parking car."

I nodded at him.

Haider left. I was standing at the side of road when I heard a noise.

"ALLAH k naam py kch dy do koei. Ma kal se bhooka hun!!!"

(Please someone give me something. I am hungry since yesterday!!!)

That voice held grief of whole world.

I looked here and there. There was no sign of Haider.

I moved towards a small restaurant in the corner of road.

_________

"Baba g!!"

I sat in front of that begger who was in rags and was looking very weak.

He looked at me strangely.

I stretched bag ful of food which I bought from restaurant.

"I brought food for you."

I said with a smile.

He returned me a most glowing and sparkling smile and took food bag from my hand more like snatching.

"Thank you! Thañk you so much Beti!!! I was hungry! Dead hungry! Biryani is my favourite!"

He said with sparkling eyes and opened bag and started eating biryani.

Rehab's favourite dish was biryani too!!

"I knew HE (ALLAH) will never let me sleep hungry. See he made you the source."

He again dig in biryani.

"May ALLAH fulfill all your wishes!! Ask him whatever you want and I bet he will grant you. You fed a hungry man."

"Are you... Are you sure baba g?

"Yeah! I am. You know what? Who are the real heroes in HIS vision?"

I shook my head.

"In HIS vision real heroes are those who serve HIS humanity selflessly. Who behaves well with his fellow beings. You are HIS hero. He won't let you down."

He again dig in food.

Alone tear slipped down my left cheek.

"Mera yar milady!! Mera pyar miladay!!"

I joined my both hands in front of my face and prayed silently in my heart.

"IN SHA ALLAH!! Just wait and wait! He will come soon."

That old beggar looked at me smilingly and patted my head lovingly.

My eyes grew wide.

I prayed silently then how he came to know?

"Don't stress yourself. I know everything!! Go and just pray!! Pray to be answered by your lord."

I looked at him shocked.

How he knows everything?

I heard Haider's voice in background and turned to go back.

"WO SB janta hai! SB dekhta hai!!"

Again I heard begged speaking and turned my head towards him and found him signalling towards sky and smiling.

I ran to Haider.

"Hey yar bhabhi! Where were you? I was searching for you in whole town."

I rolled my eyes.

"Stop exaggerating Haider. Well I was there with a begger..."

I turned towards spot where I was with that old man some moments ago only to get shocked.

There was no one.

No sign of any beggar was there far apart.

"Yeah? With whom you were?"

He raised his brow.

"There was a beggar. I swear I m not lieing."

"Then where did he went in just a moment? Come on bhabhi! I think heat has gotten on your head. Who tells you to make this much layers of your scarf?"

He rolled his eyes.

"Come with me."

"Now where?"

"Just follow me."

I took him to the same restaurant from where I brought food for that beggar.

"Excuse me sir!"

I asked to the boy on reception.

"Yes mam! How may I help you?"

He said with a smile.

"You remember me? I came here just few minutes ago. You gave me bill of my ordered food."

"Sorry mam but I am seeing you first time here.".

"What?!!"

I almost yelled.

"Why are you lieing? Give my your rigister. You in front of my eyes made order slip there to keep a record. Give me that."

I commanded and he gave me that.

"These all are the entries I made today."

He said signalling towards today's date.

I checked and checked.

"What? Where is mine?"

There was not any order slip on Rehab's name.

Yeah! I brought food on his name as from his side I wanted to do a good deed.

What the hell is happening today with me?

"Did you remove that? Tell me!"

"No mam! Why would I do that?"

"Yeah bhabhi why he would do anything like this?"

I wiped sweat from my forehead.

"K thank you!"

I walked out of the restaurant along with Haider.

"Whenever you pray you knocks on the door of ALLAH and whoever knocks on HIS door continuously, HE fulfills their wishes!! Indeed!

Miracles happen in this world. You just have to keep your belief on ALLAH!!"

Suddenly I remembered what my mom used to tell me whenever I complained of my unanswered suppletion to her.

A smle crept o my lips thinking about HIM, the merciful!!

"Now why are you smiling?"

Haider asked and I just ignored him and moved ahead shooking my head.

Assalam o alikum my janans!!
