Dil e Zar!

35

Life was going really well. Adara is in the last year of her degree and she is seven months pregnant. Everyone in the house in really conscious and excited. Adara and Zargham had been extra careful in these months, they could not afford any mishap. Bakhtawar and Bakhtoon were guiding Adara side by side.
      Zargham keep on taking Sadaqah out for Adara and their baby. It was a fine day, the weather was really good. Bakhtawar was weaving socks and caps for the baby, she was really happy as it there was going to be a baby in house after 25 years. Bakhtawar couldn't help but kiss those small gloves, Bakhtoon smiled looking at her. Zargham entered the hall and also saw her gesture, he smiled wholeheartedly and kissed Bakhtawar's forehead. Dilawar who also just came from the study room, circled multiple notes around them. 
Bk: Allah mere baccho ko buri nazar se bachaye. Khair khariyat say bass sab ho jayein ab. Jaise jaise din qareeb aarahe hai, mujhe dar lag raha hai.
Dl: Fikr na karo Begum, Allah sab khair karay ga. 

Adara was reciting Surah Maryam, it was her habit. It was recited for ease in delivery. Her face had different glow. She was wearing a loose chikankari frock and her head was covered with dupatta. Zargham entered the room and smiled looking at her. He went to her on the bed and placed his head in her lap and she caressed his forehead while reading Quran. Zargham loved hearing her reciting the Quran. Completing the Surah, she kept the Quran carefully on the side table. Her hands and feet were swollen, Zargham held her hand and kissed it. Adara removed her dupatta and said.
Ad: Mujhe dar lag raha hai,
Zr: Kyun?
Ad: Delivery ka time qareeb aaraha hai.
Zr: In sha Allah, sab theek ho ga. Humara baccha bhi aur meri biwi bhi.
He got up and she straightened her legs, looking at her swollen feet she laughed and said.
Ad: Aisa lag raha hai haathi kay pair hai.
Zargham laughed at her and kissed her forehead. 

It was finally the nine month, the day they all waited for finally was there. Adara was in the car going to the hospital with Zargham. She was a really really patient woman. Though she was dying in pain, but still she did not shouted. Under her breathe she was chanting all the surahs she knew. Zargham was holding her hand all the time. He was really scared. Zargham and Adara reached the hospital at 3. It was 2 at night when she got the labour pain. They did not wake anyone up because Bakhtawar was already a little sick. Reaching the hospital, Adara was admitted and Allah made it really easy for her. It was like pulling a hair out of butter. With in two hours, she delivered a healthy baby boy. Zargham entered the room and saw her sitting on the hospital bed. They were still not handed over the baby, because of the normal checkups . He smiled in tears and palmed his face controlling his emotions. Adara cried looking at him. She with tired tone said.
Ad: Sarkar Sai, mere pass aayein.
He removed his hands and his face was red, he with tired steps walked to her and she hugged him tightly. He kept his face in her neck and started crying. It was tears of happiness, he sobbed. His prayers were accepted, Allah gave them the reward of their Sabr. Adara cried more and kissed his head and slowly said.
Ad: Itna to mai ap ka beta paida karte hue nahi roi.
He laughed slightly and kissed her head, looking at her with red eyes and weak tone, he said.
Zr: Poori umar kay liye tumne mujhe apna qarzdar kar liya hai. Agar apni jaan bhi dei doon na, tab bhi yeh qarz nahi utar sakta.
Adara caressed his beard and kissed his forehead, again hugging him. Their moment was broken by the knock on the door. The door opened and they saw a nurse dragging a trolley near them, Adara wiped his face and said.
Ad: Ap ka beta.
He smiled and with shivering hands he picked up his baby. The nurse left after a while. He was looking at the baby with unbelievable eyes. The baby in his arms was his. He could not believe it. He took the baby to Adara who held him in her arms. Her eyes got teary, she looked at him and he nodded in assurance. She kissed his forehead. He was just like Adara. He held Adara's finger and she felt something in her heart. Zargham called Dilwar, they were up for Fajr. Zargham smiled and said.
Zr: Baba Sai?
Dl: Haan Zargham.
Zr: Baba Sai, Ap Dada ban gayein. Mera beta aagaya.
Dilawar couldn't believe it. He immediately said.
Dl: Zargham tum sach keh rahe ho?
Zr: Jee Baba Sai, ap sab jaldi aajayein. Ap khud mere bete kay kaan mai azaan dei gay.
Dilawar called Bakhtawar out.
Dl: Bakhtawar Humare Zargham ka beta hua hai.
Bakhtawar who just came in the room, was shocked. They all rushed to hospital. Adara loosely put dupatta on her head. Bakhtawar entered the room and rushed towards Adara whereas, Dilawar hugged Zargham. 
Dl: Mera sher, mera beta baap ban gaya hai. Bohot Mubarak ho.
Zr: Ap ko bhi bohot mubarak ho. Ap dada ban gaye hai.
Bakhtawar hugged Adara and they all held the baby. Holding the baby in arms, Bakhtawar kissed his forehead. 
Bk: Ma sha Allah, Ma Sha Allah. Zargham yeh to shehzada hai. 
Adara smiled meekly.
Zr: Baba Sai, ap azaan dei.
After the rituals, Dilawar kissed his forehead and said,
Dl: BURAQ ZARGHAM SHAH. 
Zargham smiled and looked at Adara, who seemed really happy with his name. 

Look who's back.
