If you let me love you.. (Season II)

chapter forty

.
Ayesha's POV
.

I was sitting on the stairs of the fire exit, I was crying my eyes out, all of this is getting too overwhelming for me, first maamu's health and now Reem's nikah with hunny, my heart was filled with grief.

I wish there was something in my power right now, I feel so helpless.

Even though everyone was here yet I feel so alone, I can't share about my helplessness with anyone they all are already so worried.

I need someone to comfort me, I need someone to tell me that it's going to be ok.

Athar! I need him

I took out my phone from my pocket and called him, but he didn't answer, I tried again but still no response, I felt irritated.

It is very unlike him that he doesn't answer my call, I hope everything is ok with him.

I dialled dad's number, it was ringing and I waited for him to answer.

"Assalamualaikum my child" he answered the call.

"Dad" I couldn't talk

"Ayesha beta, is everything ok?" He asked, and the concern in his voice flooded me with emotions, I burst into tears again.

"Ayesha! What happened?" He asked getting worried.

"Dad, m.. ma..maamu" I cried

"What happened to Usman bhai? Is he ok?" He asked

"No, we are in the hospital, maamu had a heart attack, he is not well, he needs to undergo surgery, I'm so scared" I said

"Allah khair! Don't worry beta, in sha Allah Allah will bless him with good health. I am coming to the hospital right now" he said

"Ok" I sniffed and wiped my tears

"Have you told Athar about him?" He asked, and just the mere mention of Athar brought fresh tears from my eyes, where is he?

"I called him, but he didn't answer" I said.

"I will bring him with me, you send me the hospital's name we will be there as quickly as possible" he said.

"Ok dad" I said and ended the call.

After the call ended I hugged my knees and put my head on them, and cried.

"Where are you Athar? When I need you the most? How I wish you were here to comfort my hurting heart" I mumbled.

"Ayesha" I felt someone sitting next to me, I looked up to see who it was and found Hamna, she spread her arm over my shoulders, we hugged each other and cried, we both were having the same pain.

"We should not cry, we should just pray to Allah to make everything better and make us pass this test with flying colours" she wiped her tears first, then mine.

"What will happen to Reem, we both know how much Izhaan and Reem love each other, and we have also seen what a big jerk this hunny is" I said.

"Even I worry a lot about her, now all we can do is just pray for her, may Allah knock some sense in the stupid head of hunny's and he starts to value Reem" she sighed .

"In sha Allah. And I pray that Allah erases love from Izhaan's heart for Reem, I pity that poor guy, he has no idea that he has lost the love of his life forever" I blinked my eyes rapidly to stop myself from crying

"Let's talk with hunny today and make him understand that Reem is so special for us and if she ever shed even a single tear from her eyes because of him, we are so gonna kill him" she said
