Rooh-e-Zindagi (soul of life)

Prologue

Azraa Hamdaani the most famous divorce lawyer of the city. The only daughter of rich businessman was sitting in her study working on a very serious case. Suddenly her phone rang.

She picked up the call without checking the name or number.

"Hello Azraa Hamdaani speaking." She answered the call.

"Azraa mam? Mein Kaamil." The guy from the other side said.

"Kaamil kia hua? Sab sahi hai?" She asked her assistant.

"Mam apse kuch baat krni ha leken samjh nahi araha kese karu.." He said.

"Han Han bolo?" Azraa replied closing the file.

"Wo Madam samajh nahi araha kese bolu leken kia ap Sunset club ke samne wale restaurant asakti hai?" Kaamil said.

"Kia hua hai Kaamil?" Azraa asks.

"Madam mein kuch case related files pick krne aya tha leken.. leken jo mene abhi dekha mujhe lagta ha apko batana bhot Zaruari hai. Mene itne saal namak kahaya ha apka apse bewafai nahi kar paunga." Kaamil said hesitantly.

Azraa was now genuinely scared. She picked up her car keys and left the house without replying to him. Kaamil was her assistant since almost 15 years now. She trusts him and she knows if he saying something then it must be very serious.

Azraa drove towards the sunset club. As soon as she reached towards the club her eyes caught the sight of Kaamil standing out of his car on the opposite side of the street.

She took a turn and reached to him.

"Kia hua hai Kaamil?" Azraa asks scared.

Kaamil couldn't say anything else but pointed towards the restaurant behind him. Azraa entered the restaurant and stood frozen to her spot.

The entire restaurant was empty but it was decorated with beautiful balloons. A beautiful anniversary cake was placed on the table.

"Mam its fully reserved today." The lady walked towards Azraa but she was rooted to her spot with tears streaming down her face.

The couple cutting the cake was noone other than her husband and apparently his wife.

"Aabis?" She whispered.

As soon as Aabis looked up the cake he was about to feed his second wife fell from his hands. The spoon crashed on the floor.

The spoon didn't break but her dreams did, her marriage did.

"Azraa!" He said shocked.

Azraa broke down in sobs but as Aabis started approaching her she wiped her tears almost immediately and furiously. He has done it all for her also. He had once booked an entire restaurant for her birthday aswell.

She ran outside and sat in her car. She drove herself to somewhere far somewhere away. Kaamil and Aabis both tried stopping her but she didn't stop.

It was almost 8pm when she returned back home.

"Mama kaha thi ap? Amy kab se roraha hai." The 12 year old Amraha asked loudly.

"Tameez se baat karo Amraha!" The 16 year old Ashaar chided his younger sister.

"Amy theek ha mama! Mene suladia hai usse." Ashaar said. His parents were busy most of the time so he was habitual of taking care of his siblings.

"Ashaar baba kaha hai?" Azraa asks without any expression.

"Ghar nahi aye woh mama." Ashaar flinched seeing the coldness in her eyes.

"Tum dono itne chote nahi ho isliye sab saaf saaf batana chahti hu mein tum dono ko!" Azraa sat on the couch and spoke coldly.
