Atish e Ishq (Fire of love)

Chapter no 22

4 years later:

"No"
Burhan who was turning and tossing while sleeping got up with a jerk. His body was sweating even when the AC was on. He felt his heart beat faster than ever

"Burhan what happened?"
Heyam asked rubbing her eyes

"Nothing you go back to sleep"
Burhan took a deep breath and caressed her hair as she was expecting and it was her last month

"But I don't think that you're fine"
She held his hand in hers and caressed it

"I am fine. Just had a nightmare nothing else. You take proper rest. We have to go to the hospital in the morning"
Burhan kissed her forehead making sure that Aliyan didn't wake up

"Hmm"
Heyam fell asleep holding his hand. Burhan sat there fisting his hair in his hand. He had a dream in which the whole family was crying including his parents. He saw Hamza falling on his knees and getting unconscious

Burhan started reciting Ayat ul Kursi and prayed for them to stay safe. He didn't want to keep any relationship with them still at the same time he didn't want anything bad to happen to them. He just never wanted to see them or hear their name ever again. He wanted to forget all the memories he had with them once. he changed himself completely. He now used to pray five times a day and left everything for the sake of Allah as he remembered his condition when he was in a coma. After all his prayers he asked Allah to erase all the last memories of his

The whole night he couldn't sleep even when he hugged Aliyan close to his heart

Heyam got up and saw him already awake. He helped her get up from the bed and took her clothes out. He started making Aliyaan ready to go to the hospital as he couldn't handle him over to anyone. Heyam came out after changing her clothes and started packing the baby's things which consisted mostly of pink color. She didn't say anything and sat on the bed quietly

"Everything's done?"
Burhan came inside the room with breakfast and asked her while sitting beside her and taking Aliyaan in his lap

"Yes"
She muttered nervously

"Why are you so silent today?"
He asked raising her chin keeping his two fingers beneath

"I am feeling weird today. I don't wanna say it but I feel like something bad is gonna happen today. Burhan our child will survive right?"
Heyam said with teary eyes

"Shh don't say this. Everything will be fine Heyam. You're just getting nervous"
He said keeping his hand on her mouth

"Baba, when will we take princess from the hospital? Can't we exchange it for a Spiderman? I like that more"
Aliyaan took the feeder out of his mouth and asked with curiosity

"No, we can't"
Burhan said uninterestingly knowing thousands of more useless questions were on the way

"Baba, why is it green?"
Aliyan asked pointing at his own shirt

"I don't know"
Burhan ignored his question and started putting morsels in Heyam's mouth

"Baba tell the sun to go back. I want the moon. Where did the moon go?"
Aliyaan asked with teary eyes

"It will come in the evening"
Burhan patted his back

"No, I want the moon. Where is my moon? Go and find the moon baba bring him back"
Aliyaan started crying loudly throwing his legs and arms in the air and pushing his feeder away

"Aali no baby shh"
Heyam looked at Burhan's irritated face nervously and took him in her lap trying to stop him

"Stop"
Burhan held Aliyan's arm in his hand and glared at him while gritting his teeth
