MUNTAZIR (A TALE OF AWAITING LOVE) ☑️

Chapter 42

After 6 months ...

The doctors informed it might take long time for his recovery. He's shifted home with the medical supplies required to treat him. Since then no one has been the same although shehnaaz is trying to be there for everyone "taaye ammi, bhooka rehna se kya hoga zayada se zayada tabiyat kharab hoge phir aap kaise sidharth ke paas rahoge ?" she was trying to feed each and every person in the house with strength and hope that sidharth will be very unhappy to see his families condition.

"Please chale jao yahan se kyun baar baar akar is tarah dikhane ki koshish karte ho ke hum tumhe bade pyaare hain ke tumhe hamare fikar hai, yeh sab tab kahan tha jab hume chor kar .. mere bete ko chor kar dubai jarahe thi tab khayal nahin aya humne tumhe beti maana .. hamesha sidharth ko samjhaya ke beta tum galat ho .." shagufta ji can't get over the fact that she was exiting the country.

"Taaye ammi, kya mera haq nahi tha kuch din ke mohlat maang kar khudko samjhna ke aakhir me kya chahte hoon .. ek baar sidharth ke maa nahin meri bann kar sochein khud ko defend nahin kar rahe bass bata rahe hoon ke shayed mai galat thi lekin meri niyat kharab nahi thi." shagufta ji gets up walks towards the window "tumhe, kuch waqt chahiye tha na sochne ke liye dekh khuda ne itne din de diye .." she sadly, mentioned.

"Mera khuda gawah hai ke maine kabhi is tarhan waqt nahi maanga." shehnaaz clarified.

"It doesn't matter mil toh gaya na ab bhi waqt hai jaana chahte ho chale jao ab na mera beta hai rok ne ke liye na hum pure choot hai faisla laine ke .." shagufta ji announces "main kahin nahi jaunge is ghar pe .. sidharth pe .. aap sab pe mera haq hai." shehnaaz highlights "Is baar hum dono muntazir hain woh zindagi se lar kar mera paas wapis aane ke liye aur main waqt se lad kar uska intezaar kar ne ke liye aur is baar inshallah jeet dono ke hoge" she walks out holding her head up high.

Zoya and Adil r giving cold shoulder to shehnaaz and zain since the tragic incident none of them r properly talking to them. Jamshed ji is too much in pain to react negatively. Bi jaan doesn't talk to anyone she has completely isolated herself to the room only goes to check on sidharth. She is some where disappointed in her Chanda (shehnaaz) as she chose the other way around to get space. Her younger most brother Abdullah is being friendly, understanding and supportive to everyone in the family. Shehnaaz is looking after him though her mother in law opposed it.

Due to Jamshed ji, reluctantly agreed.

She spends the day sitting & talking to him about how the dimension of relationships have changed because of her decision zain is paying huge price !

Zain's relationship is suffering with Zoya.

She tells him, how beautiful their life would have been if she had given themselves a chance like he had pleaded.

She regrets putting themselves at this stage !

At night, she feels her entire hope dying down to heal herself gets inside the quilt and cuddles like a baby trying to feel his warmth.

She feels complete to hear the sound of his heart beating, easily putting her to sleep.

She kisses his heart multiple times as if taking an assurance from him to wake up, not to give up on them. It's beautiful and peaceful having him close to herself.

His warmth provides affection ❤️

Like any-other night, rested her head against his chest while drawing circles on his neck "kis tarah samjhaun mein sabko hogaye galati ab kya karun marjaun meri koi feeling nahi hai, sidharth aapki naaz akeli par gaye hai please uth jayein na sabko batayein aapki biwi ne sirf waqt maanga tha mera aisa koi irada nahi tha .. aapko is halat mein dekh kar main roz jeete hoon, roz marti hoon, wake up for us na ... ya phir .. main haar maan loon ?" she sobs hard, doesn't realize his hand went in to her hair as if coaxing her not to shed anymore tears !
