I was just six

Chapter 1

When I first saw her, my eyes were still there on her face. Her big
brown eyes, her pinkish cheeks, her pure black long hair, the
simplicity in her character, there were only innocence and
kindness in her personality. The way she was carrying herself, she
was covering her shinny long hairs with a scarf on her head. I have
seen her hair when she was a child. When we used to play hide
and seek together, and we used to be best friends. When she used
to come on holidays, and she felt protected with me except our
other cousins.
I haven’t thought that she will be so pretty in the future. She is like a
real star that shines around me. Every time whenever I saw her, my
eyes felt the brightness that came from her personality. That’s
the beauty of her character. The way she speaks, the way she is
kind and loving with everyone. She always cares about people, her
loved ones. She even cares about everyone. She always wanted to
spread love and kindness since she was a child. She used to say
that when someone smiles because of me, I feel peace.
I saw her after ten years. She is looking so different. Now she has
grown up into a big girl. She is a perfect lady to spend a whole
lifetime. She deserves the world, and I want to give her the world
she deserves. I want to be the man of her life who can love her the
way she deserves. I want to see her every morning when I
open my eyes and every night when I close them. I want to
spend every happy moment with her and share every sad thing of
my life with her. I want her by my side every time. I think, yes, my heart is saying this. I am in love with her. The way I appreciated her
in everything and the way my heart beat becomes faster while
looking at her. I think yes it’s a confession from my heart. I am in
love with her. I love her she is my Star, and she will be my Star that
will shine around her Moon so brightly, and this Moon will always
try his best to make his Star shine much brighter than him.
I really want to marry her. For me, she is the perfect woman of my life.
I have to confess her and get married to her now. May life not
give me this chance later.
Moon went to her cousin Star and told her to give him some time.
He wanted to ask something which is very important. When she
came they both went to the garden that was behind the house of
Moon as Star was there to celebrate some occasions. And he asked
her:
”Star will you become the girl of my dreams? Will you be my life
partner? You love to care about people so much, Will you be my
caretaker? This Moon wants his sky to shine more brightly with the
beauty of this Star”. And then she said YES….
Star was the daughter of Moon's aunt. He talked to his parents.
They went there and asked for her hand for their son Moon. Star was the
most prettiest woman of the family. Every boy wanted to marry her.
But Star wanted Moon to become her life partner. So, as the
families were happy. Their love won.
Luckily, I got married to her, and she became my life partner. I was
the happiest person of the world at that time when she accepted
me as her husband. I felt blessed to be her husband. I wanted to
enjoy my life with this woman. She was my dream woman and
dreams do come true. I got her even I won her and her love. I want to make every moment of our lives more enjoyable and
memorable filled with love. There should be only love in
every corner of our house. Our children will feel blessed to have us
as their parents. We will get them everything they will ever wish
for. They will be the luckiest children in the world, and we will be
the luckiest parents.
It's been twenty years since we got married, and we have four
sons. How blessed I am to have four handsome sons, but I also
wanted a daughter. I wanted a little girl to play, cry, and move here
and there and fill our house with positivity. I wanted a reflection of
you Star. May Allah bless us with a girl this time. We will be
having our fifth and last child. I wholeheartedly wanted this child
to be a girl.
A princess for our castle, a pretty doll whom her brothers will play.
I wanted her to make so many wishes and to be a stubborn girl
who will wish for many things, and her baba will fulfil her every
single wish. Star, we will love her so much. We will spoil her with
our love. There will be nothing that she will wish for and her baba
will not get her.
Star said: We will name her. Esme this name means to be loved.
She will be born in this world only to get love and care and
everything she deserves. And she will be her baba's princesses and
her mama's doll. She will get all the love. I will be the luckiest
mother and she will be my pretty little angel. Her life will be full of
love and all the care her mama will give her. She will be her
mama's girl and will love me more than her, baba.
July 5, 2005
The beautiful day has come. Our little angel is coming home with Mama. She wanted her brothers to prepare her room. All four of
her brothers will love her and protect her from the outside world.
Her brothers will be her best friends and bodyguards. They will
treat her like a princess and fulfil her every wish. They will not
allow anyone to make her cry. They will protect her like a shield.
From now on, we will be a perfect happy family. My first luckiest
day was when I got married to her, Star the beauty of my life. She is
the most beautiful thing I keep inside my heart. And that's my
second luckiest day. The day my little angel Esme came into our
lives. We were a perfect couple now we will make a perfect family
with our sons and our little angel. We will live happily forever.
Life was going the way we both planned. My sons are getting
successful in their lives. I love all my children, but the bond
between a father and a daughter is a blessing. I know one day my
daughter will also become so successful that she will make me proud.
She will become a strong woman. My wife Star she is a great lady,
she has been with me side by side in every difficulty. She cares
for me, for our children, for my family. She is my queen, my life, my
love. I will always try my best to be there for her and for my
children. I will be thankful to My Almighty always for giving the life
I always dreamed of it.
Wow, Baba came back home from his trip with his friends, Esme
said joyfully while running toward the door. I am going to take him
from the door, Mama. Okay, just be careful, my little Esme. Take
your brothers along with you. Baba, I missed you so much it's been
a whole week. My little angel baba missed you, too. Baba missed
all of his children and also my pretty wife. How are you, Star? Did
my children tease you or not. No way they are such cute angels
and they are also my children. What are you talking about? "said Star.Moon started laughing," Oh my love.Okay, now Baba is
going to get fresh then I will give presents to everyone and eat
food together okay baba: said Esme. Oh, my little princess.
The children were talking to their mother so happily while Moon
was in there getting a shower. Mama, you made only your husband's
favourite food that’s not fair we are also your children. All five of you
are my children, and I love you all more than anything in this world
but today, your baba was coming after seven days, so I just tried my
best to impress him, my son. I will make your favourite food
whenever you wanted.
Oh my sweet mama, we were just joking. Baba is already so
impressed with his wife. Okay, now people are joking with my wife
that’s so unfair. We are not people, baba. We are your own sons. Oh
I'm just kidding, son. Now come baba sit and have your food which
your wife made with her beautiful hands. Oh my goodness, there is my favourite rice and salad made for me.
My love Star, there was no need for all of this. You just tire yourself. I
can eat anything made by you. It's okay. Just go ahead and enjoy
your food. Okay, children, all of you eat properly. Mama made this
with her lovely hands, so don’t waste any chance to have her
special food. Yes, baba, we should eat all of this. life will may give
us this chance again or not. Oh my son, why are you talking like
this. I will make you good food every day, and I do make food every
day, you teasing me naughty boy: Star said while smiling at her big
son.
Mama, your smiling face and your eyes shine. This is what I
love the most, and I did this on purpose to see my mother happy.
Oh, my son is flirting with my wife in front of me. After all, she is our mommy baba. Are you jealous of this mother sons relation. Aha
my son is so genius he knows how to make us happy.I want this
happiness to last forever.Yes, baba, this will last forever. We will
always stick together (in sha Allah) with the will of Allah.
Okay, now let's finish the food and open the gifts. I got four of the same
watches and shoes for my sons and a pretty necklace for my wife
and these toys for my little Esme. Thank you, baba. we all love you
so much, and one day, we will bring gifts for you and Mama when
we will be your successful children. I am looking forward to that
day, my son : Star said while having happy tears in her beautiful big
eyes.
Let's have a family picture together, mama come near Baba and
hold Esme's hand, and we four will stand on sides your two sons
on one side and two on the other. Look how beautifully this picture
explains our bonds with each other.
A beautiful woman and his handsome husband have four sons
and a cute princess of their house, a little daughter Esme. This is
called a happy family forever. May this family be safe from all
the evil eyes Amen.
Esme turned five now my little princess will study in school with
her brothers. Yes, baba, I would love to go to school and study.
Mama will help you learn all your lessons as she helped your
brothers. Wow, Mama will be my teacher too. That will be so good.
I will not have to study from strict teachers of academies. I will
learn my lessons from Mama more easily and happily also.
Yes, my daughter will learn everything and leave her brothers behind.
I don’t like academies, Mama. But why Esme? When we went there
with Baba for Big Brother's admission, I saw there were so many strange people or children. They don’t study properly they just
laugh and tease each other, and they all are dull students. No Esme
there may be good students too you can't judge people. Okay
mama, but why am I worried I will study only from my mama? Wow.
Star, where are you? Come here. Look at my sons he got highest
grades in school. And the little one he also got second highest. Oh
my children, I love you all. My successful sons and daughter. I am
so grateful. This is the magic of my love. The way she stayed
awake all the nights of their exams and help them study more
easily.
Not my magic Moon it’s the magic of their own brains. All of my
children are so genius. They studied so well, and now they
achieved success. Let's celebrate this. Let me call Amira. We will
celebrate this all together. Moon, you should go outside and bring
presents for my children. They are my children too Star my love:
Moon said while smiling. Oho I never say they are only my
children. Go bring presents for our children. Star said while
smiling.
Amira was their grandmother, Moon's mother. She lived in their
house but on the ground floor. Star called her upstairs, and they
celebrated their children's success. Esme also started going to
school she just passed kinder garden. And now she was in class
one. She loved to go to school and study. She was so fond of painting
and book reading.
Her father Moon gifted her all the art supplies and so many
reading books. She liked English subjects more than other subjects
but as she was so little to read them so she got story books in
Urdu language. Moon never forced any of his children to study medical or engineering. He always supported them to do what
they like and to study those subjects in which they are interested.
He was a very calm father who used to treat his children more like
their friend.
What would you like to become in the future, my Esme? I am a girl
grandmother and I will also be a girl after growing up. Oh my
naughty Esme, I mean will you become a doctor. Engineer or pilot
or a professor like your baba is a businessman. Your big brother is
an engineer and the second one is studying medical so what you
will become my princess. I wanted to become like my mama. Your
mama is a housewife, and you will become a housewife only. What will
be your profession? No, Amira jan, I want to be like Mama. The way
she loves all of us, I want to become a person in the future who will
make everyone happy and will be loved by everyone. I don't want
to become a person who will hurt other people. I just want to be a
good human like my mama and baba. Oh my sweetie, you have
such good thoughts. Okay, let's ask your mama baba what they
wanted you to become. Star, what you and Moon wanted, Esme to
choose as her profession? She is so little to think about all of this
but I have some feelings that my daughter will grow up as a very
different person, she will choose something unique as her
profession. She can choose whatever she will like. Moon and I
never had any restrictions for our other children, and we also don’t
have any for her.
I know my daughter will become someone as strong as her
mother. She will tackle every situation. She will be a very intelligent
girl in the future. I know my Esme will make her mama baba proud one
day. A day will come when I will proudly announce that she is my
daughter. What if I'll never become someone like that, baba? My angel even if you will be like other normal children I will still love you so
much as I did now. You will always be your baba's princess. And
baba will always be Esme's superhero. Of course, and my mama
will always look like a queen, and she will always be loved by her
Esme. All my children will always have a long and healthy life
happily. Yes, and our Amira will always be with us and loved by us.
Am I right, baba? Yes, my Esme.
Amira said , "I always love to see my children happy with their
own children and wives. Children are the joy of the house and for
being a happy family, everyone is of the same importance, even if it’s a
child, a mother, or a father. Family becomes incomplete without
any one person.
“Being a family is so important. Family offers you support and
security. They love you unconditionally. They will always look and
bring out the best in you even if you can not see it by yourself.
Without a family, you feel like an unwanted child who didn’t know
how to love and be loved.”
Today is Mama Baba's wedding anniversary, and Baba prepared a
speech for Mama. Wow, Mama, you are so lucky you got our baba
as your husband. Yes, I am lucky, but isn’t your baba also lucky to
have me. Mama jan you both are lucky to have each other, and we
all are lucky to have such amazing parents. Now let's go, baba
and Esme is waiting for us. My son, I am coming. Baba jan here
comes your pretty wife, now you should start your speech. Best of
luck thank you, my children.
“To my wife Star, it's been twenty years you came into my life. You
have been my life partner, my caretaker, my best friend, my first
love, and you will be my last love till my last breath. I don’t want to make big dialogues. I just wanted to thank you for being there for
me every time, for being my wife, for giving me such amazing
children, for being an amazing mother, for loving me and my
children wholeheartedly. I want to thank you for every small to big
efforts you always do, thank you for making my favourite food
whenever I came back from any trip. I want to thank you for giving
me my morning tea daily without forgetting. I want to thank you
for helping me with my business work. I want to thank you for
every single thing you did for me, and in the end, I want to thank the
Almighty for giving me the chance to be your husband. I love you
my dear wife. My Star, I want you to shine more and more every
day.”
