AHL-E - DIL

•••

The phone ringed breaking off Arsalan's reveries.

It was a call from hospital.

"Hello"

"Is this Mr. Syed Arsalan speaking? "

"Yes"

"Your Wife's Delivery was successful and she has gained conscious but want to have a word with you. Yet she in a critical condition."

"Ok im coming in few mins"

He hunged up the call and ran towards his car to reach hospital.

In the hospital

Arsalan entered the hospital private room, saw twins lying in the cot. He went towards them and kissed their forhead. He went towards his wife whose eyes were closed and she was looking lifeless with a pale body and her collarbone peaking out from her body.

He went towards her and caressed her cheecks she opened her eyes " Mujhe maaf kar- kar-de,  mene aap- aapko it-ni az-aziyat pahuchaya. " Being in a critical state she still said sorry to him. The way he treated her has influenced deeply her mind and thoughts. " Aga-ar me-mein jab nhi bach paye toh mere bacho ka dhyan rakhna, please. " She said with much difficulty.

Soon she closed her eyes and slipped into deep slumber.

He got frightened, and shouted "Doctor", "Doctor, my wife " And ran out to call somebody.

Soon a doctor and nurse came and said " Please, go outside we have to check her."

The time was passing by, but it felt so hard for him.

"Sir, Please don't stress the patient her health is very critical. For now we have checked her and changed her IV drip. If she gets well she will get discharged in few days otherwise we have to shift her to another hospital. "

Days passed by, but a thing changed a man who was once called a wife beater, proud person, who had a tons of ego was changed into a good person. He changed but he changed for good.

Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. Again, God says to the believers in a Hadith Qudsi: "O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me, and ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind.

"Suney, Dinner ready hai! " The voice he once longed to hear was calling him.

( Listen, dinner is ready)

" Mein aa raha hu! " He replied , giving her a small smile , and got up and folded the musalah and kept the tasbeeh in its place before moving towards the kitchen where his Rabbaitul bait and his children were.

( I'm coming)

Both the babies were in there high stool with respective water bottle. They were blabbering something while laughing and keeping their mother entertained. She was cleaning off the counter top of kitchen.

He muttered a little pray to keep his family protected. He knows his family is everything, because if you have money but no family you can never be happy. But balancing deen and dunya can give you an unlimited happiness.

Before he was so prideful that he missed his salah. He realised all his mistakes when his mother left him and this world and his wife was in death bed.

That memories still terrifies him, few months back when she was on death bed. He realised his wrong doing, he was lost but soon got in right track.

The family had their dinner cheerfully, the babies blabbering something here and there .

It was night time, the family getting ready for bed. Manaat laid the babies in the middle of the bed bordering them by pillows so they won't fall.
She kissed their foreheads and went to washroom to change into her night suit. When she came back still there was no sight of him. She went to the balcony area.

"Arsalan, aap yaha kya kar rahe hai? " Manaat asked making her presence known as he was standing leaning onto the railing and admiring the moon aimlessly.

( Arsalan, What are you doing here?)

"Jaan" Arsalan turned and took her in his arms.

( Life)

"Ho sake toh mujhe maaf kar dena mein tumhara ghunighar hu. Mene tumhe itni aziyat pahuchai hai. " Arsalan said soon tears started dropping from his eyes. Mannat hugged him and said " Mene apko maaf kab ka kardiya hai, yeh mafi aap Allah sey  kyuki wahi hai jo apko maaf kar sakte hai, hum toh sirf uske bandhey hai. "

( Please do forgive me, I have committed alot of sins and have given you a lot of hardships.)

( I have forgiven you since a long ago, but ask forgiveness from Allah as he is the one who forgives , we are just his creations.)

Her dress was getting wet with his tears, "Arsh aap roye toh nhi, nhi toh baby kya bolenge ki mama baba ko rula rahi hai huh" She said which made him chuckled.

( Arsh please don't cry, otherwise what will babies say that I'm making their father cry!)

Soon they both joined their foreheads, " Umrah mein chalugi mere sath" He asked.

( Would you go to Umrah with me?)

" Inshallah, jarur" She replied.

( Inshallah, yes)

This was Arsalan and Mannat's Remorseles love.
