Eternal Bonds

"What are the plans for the marriage?" Yasir asked while I cradled Arslan, who was crying. "We are just planning for now. We don't want to rush. I want to plan everything perfectly," Benish mam replied, making me smile. "She says she wants a perfect fairytale-like wedding," Ferman sir smiled, making us chuckle.

"Shut up, Ferman. Every girl wants their special day to be the best," she said, making me smile. I also wished that. I also hoped that my special day would be the best day of my life. I always dreamt of having a fairytale wedding just like how they show on T.V.

A perfect wedding. Guests, decorations, priest, my family, me in a beautiful dress, and my well-dressed prince-like groom, but all that vanished in seconds.

"What are you thinking, Yazia?" Ferman sir asked, and I shook my head. "Nothing," I smiled, and he nodded. "Well, Yasir. Now you have to let my assistant go. Work is getting hectic without her. Her jokes elevate our mood when we are stressed," Ferman sir looked at Yasir, making me chuckle shyly. I couldn't believe that Ferman sir, with anger issues, was speaking.

Yasir smiled and glanced at me. "What does that mean, Ferman? My wife is allowed to have some rest. You guys make her work a lot," he said while looking at me. "Oh, come on. She is a robot, she doesn't get tired, trust me," Ferman sir teasingly said, making me laugh.

"Excuse me. I do get tired," I tried to act offended, and Yasir laughed. "Don't worry. She is planning on joining after Eid but only for a few hours," Yasir said the last part strictly, and Ferman sir nodded. "Yes, sir," Ferman sir saluted, making us laugh.

"aya aya aya," Emaan screamed while trying to bite Ferman Sir's hand, making us laugh. "She is so cute," Benish mam held her hand, making me smile. "She is dangerous, look," Ferman sir said, showing his hand, making us laugh.

"I think we should leave now," I looked at the wall clock. It was almost time for lunch. "Stay here and have lunch with us," Benish mam insisted, but I shook my head. "Some other day, Insha'Allah," I smiled as I got up from the couch, grabbing my handbag while Arslan slept in my arms.

"Oh, I wish I could keep the kids, but they will start crying," Ferman sir said, making me chuckle. Emaan jumped into Yasir's arms as we walked outside towards the car. We placed the kids in their seats, securing their seat belts. Arslan was asleep, and Emaan was still wide awake. God, how energetic is this girl.

After bidding Ferman sir and Benish Mam goodbye, we got in the car. I was already so exhausted today. I looked out of the window, sighing. Everything changed so much. After I came to Korea, my whole life changed.

I was no more a poor pharmacist's daughter. I am now Dr. Yazia. Just like how I have always wanted it. Dr. in front of my name. I was happy and proud but not contented. Everything I did was just for my father, and he got to see nothing. He wasn't able to see me happy and have babies. He wasn't able to call me his little girl again.

Oh, baba. How much have you suffered? How strong you were, baba. You really were a brave lion. No matter how hurt and injured you were, you always remained strong and firm on your word.

I regret every single second of my life. Every single second that I wasted. I bit my lower lip as I looked at the sky. May Allah grant you the highest place in Jannah. "What are you thinking, sweetheart?" Yasir glanced at me, and I smiled, shaking my head. "Nothing," I assured, and he smiled.

"I hope you still remember the promise," he smirked, making me roll my eyes. "I didn't make any promise," I stated, and he glanced at me. "Liar," he huffed, making me chuckle. "Shh, focus on driving," I said, and he chuckled.

"Even if you refuse, darling, I will still complete that important task," he smirked, making me look away with blushing cheeks. "Have some shame," I muttered, and he laughed.
