Inara tried hard to open her eyes. Only a few minutes were left in completing the topic she was studying. She was preparing for her first specialization exam. She was sitting at the study desk in the darkness, only a table lamp at the desk was providing her the much needed light.

The lights in the room were turned on. She looked back to get a glimpse of Zulaid whose one hand was at the switch board and with the other he was rubbing his eyes.

"Why haven't you slept Inara!!" His voice was heavy under the effect of sleep.

He came closer to her and pressed her shoulders.

"I was studying" She told him.

"It's midnight Nara! How many times I have asked you to not stress yourself. Your sleep schedule is messed up. It's not good for you for God sakes!!" He asked her worriedly.

"I was just about to get up now" She smiled lightly at him.

"It's not justifiable! You are playing with your health" He was angry and worried.

"I am not" She rose up from the chair and patted his chest.

"You are pregnant. Have mercy on yourself!" He minded her childish acts.

"I take care of myself. You don't need to be worried" She asked him walking to her side of the bed.

"That I can see" He muttered under his breath. He was controlling his anger because he didn't want to snap at her in this condition but she was doing everything to get hurt.

He silently turned off the lights and joined her in the bed.

"Exam won't run anywhere Inara! Your health should be your top priority. Don't play with it. I am worried for you and the baby. I won't be able to bear it if something happens to you two!" He told his fear in the darkness.

She turned her face to him and took hold of his hand.

"Believe me Zoi! I take care of myself. Please don't get worried. Lately you are worrying too much" Her heart melted at his words.

"Because I can see you are stressed" He rested his hand on hers and turned his face to her.

"Trust me I am not. I am satisfied and happy!" She caressed his long fingers.

"Then you have stressed me Inara! I don't remember the last time when I was this much tensed" He muttered.

"Please can you stop it now. I am saying I am fine" She got irritated.

"Okay no need to get hyper" He rested his hand on her waist and patted it lightly.

"You annoy me" She said.

"You get annoyed with everything these days" He complained.

"Shut up!"

"Okay" He mumbled, pressing his lips to her forehead.

...

Zulaid changed into scrubs and walked into the labor room where Inara was lying at the bed. She was in pain. It was visible on her face but she was trying to bear it.

His heart ached at the sight.

He had seen numerous births in his medical college days. He had seen how difficult it was to push life into this world. He had seen women dying in the labor room. Unfortunately, Pakistan's maternal death is very high.

It wasn't a lie to say that he was extremely scared at the moment. The long forgotten visuals of the dying woman were reappearing in his mind and it wasn't helping him.
