Chapter 24

Isha P.O.V

I felt paralyzed as the words hit me. It can't happen. It's just can't.

My heart was beating wildly against my chest as tears welled up inside my eyes.

"He will be alright," Adeel said patting my cheeks.

"Please take me there," I said holding his hand while my heart was clenching with pain.

Abiha wiped my tears away to console me.

"We will go in the morning," Abiha said consoling me.

"No, I am going there right now. If you both don't want to come, it's fine. I will go by myself," I said raising my voice.

"Get ready. I will take you to Bradford," He said holding my hand making me nodded my head.

I immediately went to the washroom and splash water on my pale eyes. I tied my hair in a bun as I took a shawl from my wardrobe.

I wrapped the shawl around myself tightly and took my bag from the side table.

"I am also coming," Abiha told me.

"Please stay here. Handle the things here. I will inform you as per the situation," I told her to which she nodded her head in reply.

I didn't bother to glance at her as I immediately left the apartment. I sat in the car looking outside the window nervously.

"He will be alright," Adeel said assuring me but it doesn't help.

"What did Afra told you?" I asked him.

"She didn't inform me of anything. She was panicking when she called me. She told me that he is not well. So she is taking him to the hospital," Adeel told making my heart clench.

It can't happen to him. He is too small and fragile. I wiped my stained cheeks and look outside the window.

"You can take a rest. I will wake you up when we will reach Bradford. It will take some hours," He told me and I nodded my head.

I rested my head on the head of the seat and wrapped my arms around myself. Only I know how scared I am right now. If anything happens to my baby, I won't ever forgive myself.

I didn't realize when I was dozed off to sleep.

"We have reached," Adeel said shooking my shoulder waking me up from my slumber. I rubbed my hands on my face to have a clear vision of surrounding. I tighten my hold on the shawl as I step out of the car. Adeel was following me from behind.

There was a big hospital in front of me. My hands were shaking with fear and anxiety. My eyes filled with tears as I took a slow step inside the hospital.

We reached the reception area of the hospital. I didn't have the energy to utter a word as my breathing becomes heavy. Adeel asked something on my behalf and lead me to the room where my baby is.

I saw Afra sitting on the bench. She was holding her head with her both hands while tears were streaming down her cheeks. I took a step towards her and stand in front of her.

"Thank God, you came. I was so worried," she said while hugging me but I didn't have the energy to move.

Afra is Adeel sister. She is of the same age as mine. She is a widow. Her husband died after a few months of their wedding. After her iddat, she came and live beside our apartment. We have grown closer to each other and she spends much time with us. However, after a few months, Faraz informed me that Fahad is in search of me. I was so worried about my baby future. And it was so difficult for me to handle my work and motherhood together. So she offered to take care of my baby and I eventually agree with her. I didn't have any option left. Every weekend when people enjoy it partying or relaxing, I travel five hours to Bradford just to have a glimpse of my baby. He is the most important part of my life and he always will. She wants to go back to Bradford where her husband takes his last breath. I have to agree with her. It was safe for my baby. At least, I was relieved that my baby is in safe hands.
