'Maut seh gaye zarao dafa, dar na tha. Magar ab khauf tha khuda ka.'
Months passed by after Asif's dead. Somber silence surrounded the house, but on the other hand, Humairah seemed to take his death easy and unserious.
She was worried for Haider and his family and Junaid more than Kinaira.
Junaid had graduated and gotten into a relationship with Aisha, Alyaan's cousin who happened to be in the same university as Junaid.
Junaid got 20% of Asif's assets and Haider received 20% and 60% of his assets went to Kinaira, including all his properties and money.
He left everything under her name since he wanted a sincere apology from her side.
Kinaira donated the money in charity under Asif's name so he would be rewarded as well.
Kinaira and Alyaan were living their best like with their daughter Kaiynah, but Kinaira's heart always feared loosing either her husband or daughter. She did everything in her power to keep both of them safe.
It was a winter afternoon. Mahi and Naseeba along with baby Asmara arrived at Kinaira's place.
Kinaira told them her fear and Mahi reassured her that Sameer would be back for a long time. While Mahi reassured her, Naseeba fed the two bubbly girls who sat in the matching pink high chair.
Haseeb called Mahi, she made her way to the balcony where it was far from the giggles both Asmara and Kaiynah made.
Haseeb told Mahi that Sameer was back in Islamabad for a medical event which was happening in CMH. She was shocked, but knew it was better for Kinaira to know that he's back in town, before she could go back and tell Kinaira, the door bell rang. Mahi told Kinaira to sit who was walking towards the door.
Mahi opened the door to see it was Iqra, Hayra and Amiz. "Asalamualaykum!" Iqra greeted. "Walaykumasalam!" Mahi smiled before picking up Hayra in her arms. "How are you?" Farzeen asked from her far away cough as she was curled up like a potato and holding the sleeping Asmara in her arms.
"I'm fine Kinaira." Iqra smiled. Iqra sat down next to Naseeba who was feeding baby food to Kaiynah. "Wesay Kinaira, Kaiynah tumhare sey zyada, apni dou khala aur phupoo sey attached hain." Iqra smiled. "Haina, mujhey bhi yehi lagta hai." Kinaira smiled as she was pleased to see how everyone treated her daughter as if it's their own.
Kinaira received a call from Alyaan seeking approval for inviting his friends over. Kinaira said yes and started to clean the house after placing sleepy Asmara and Kaiynah in Kaiynah's nursery.
Kinaira's health had gotten far from better, regretful to say, but it was declining. Kinaira had Cardiac Sarcoma. No one but her and Mahi knew.
Mahi was always guilty of hiding it from Alyaan, but Kinaira made her promise that she won't tell a single soul.
While cleaning the house, Kinaira noticed her nose bleed, but decided to ignore it, but before she could wipe it off, Naseeba and Iqra noticed, but before they could say something, Mahi asked them to stay quite.
"Ajj mein Alyaan ko batadungi Kinaira has Cardiac Sarcoma." Mahi whispered. "Tum log kya yaha batay kar rahe ho?" Kinaira asked walking towards the girls who pretended to be oblivious about her illness. "Kuch nahi, bss yeh dekhri hu key app kitni pyari lagri hai bhabi." Naseeba smiled. "Aww mera bacha." Kinaira smiled before going in for a hug.
