Why am I so afraid to lose you?
Even when you are not mine.

A A H I L -

Hospitals were Aahil's nightmares, it had nothing but those cruel memories attached with them. Looking at Zayna's unconscious figure, he rubbed his forehead Frustratingly.

How could be he so careless?

All this happened because of him, if he didn't allow her to go outside the house. Tears were threatening to fall from his eyes, in 28 years of life, Aahil Mir Sultan had never felt this much restlessness.

He looked at the machines around her. His eyes were red, puffy, he was broken, he was feeling like a part of him had been snatched.

He pulled out his pendant which he was wearing, he opened it and saw a photograph of him and his dearest one.

"I'm sorry wajdan, i wasn't able to protect her, ho sake toh maaf kar dena. I broke our promise."

He controlled the sobs which were threatening to fall from his mouth. Sometimes things are not in our control but that doesn't mean we should stop trying.

He closed it and kept it near his chest, it had many happy memories related to him.

"Aahil?"

He turned back and composed himself when he listened to his father's voice. Arsalan Sultan looked at Zayna's unconscious figure. He was feeling nostalgic, she is not his daughter in law, she was his only sister's daughter, she was his niece.

A small drop of tears fell from his eyes remembering his conversation with his sister but he didn't know it was his last conversation with her.

"Bhai bhabi, dekhein Zayna aur Aahil kitne ache lag rahe hain saath mein?"

Ramsha said while bringing the tea, Zohra and Arsalan looked at the kids, they all were playing with each other. While little Zayna was sitting all alone. Aahil looked at her and came forward.

"Kya hua zayna? Tum khel kyu nahi Rahi ho hamare sath?"

8 year old Aahil asked her cutely, Zayna looked at him. She was 4 years old.

"Aap sab bade log sath mein milke Mera mazak banate ho isliye mein nahi khelungi aap logo ke sath."

Zayna said, her lips wobbling.

"Haww, Mene kab tumhara mazak banaya Zayna? Itna khatarnaak ilzam kese laga sakti ho mujhpe tum?"

Aahil said dramatically, Zayna cutely chuckled at his words.

"Mir bhai aap nahi lekin baaki log banaye hai mera mazak."

Zayna said while pouting cutely.

"Acha toh tum mujhse dosti karlo, phir hum dono sath mein khela krenge."

Aahil said cutely, Zayna smiled and nodded.

"We are best friends."

They both said in unison and smiled cutely. Their parents chuckle.

"Masha'allah mere bacho ko kisi ki nazar na lage."

Zohra said while mumbling some dua's.

"Bhie, Ramsha mein toh soch raha hun ki Zayna, Aahil aur Faaezah, wajdan ka rishta fix karde, taaki abhi se ye chaaro book ho jaye ek dusre ke liye."

Arsalan shared a laugh with Alam, while their wives smiled..

"Haan Ramsha, batao dogi apni zayna hamre Aahil ko?"
