SHATTERED HEARTS

Ch.59.Hearts are won by Love....!!!

Dedicated to my beloved sis and best friend Zarahfarooq :))
Love you dear sis,beyond the description of words.....

                                   

       "Oh my Allah!! I am going to have the cutest,chubbiest and most
adorable neices and nephews ever!!!" Zaara happily gushed as her excited
dark brown eyes scanned the beautiful pictures before her.

      Nawal who was busy packing her bag,as they were going to return
to Mumbai the next day,glanced at her hyper excited friend with a nonchalant
expression.

       Zaara however was too drowned in her fantasies as she went on,
"Do you know what they will look like?Let me describe", she paused ,
the wide smile still intact on her face and stared at the photo album
on her lap.Her keen gaze shifted to her cellphone which she was holding in
one hand and then back again at the picture." Wow MashaAllah,they are
going to be such little cuties.Round chubby cheeks,cute little button nose,
thin pink lips and doe like innocent eyes.Ya Allah !I just can't wait to
pinch their adorable cheeks ....its going to be such an amazing experience."
She smiled getting completely lost in her own imagination!!!!!

       Nawal zipped her bag close and placed it beside the other packed
bags.She then took a seat beside her friend on the bed finally glancing
at the picture in the album!!

       Their mother in law Mrs.Nargis Shaykh had given them the old
photo album which contained Afzal & Arhaan's childhood pictures along
with pictures of the Shaykh family,their close relatives and friends whom
the girls hadnt seen before.But instead of just going through those pictures
as a person would normally do,a very excited and creative Zaara was
imagining the faces of her neices and nephews by looking at Arhaan's
baby pictures.To add to her weird imagination, she had asked her cousin
Danish(Nawal's younger brother) to send Nawwu's childhood pics and
the recent description of how the babies will look like was by comparing
both little Arhaan and little Nawal's pictures!!!!!

      Yeah ....only Zaara Bakhtiyar can do such weird thinking....

      ....When she goes in a hyper excited state....

       Like she was just now....!!!

     
    "Congratulations Nawwu!!" The overjoyed friend hugged the said girl,
who merely rolled her eyes.

     "OK now ...step out of your never ending imagination and come back
to earth." Nawal nonchalantly remarked.

     "But aren't you excited? Not even after i described the babies?"
Zaara asked lowly ,her tone full of disappointment.

    Nawal sighed rubbing her temples, "I am very sorry but I honestly do
not possess the skill to foresee unborn baby faces or to treat little kittens
as adopted human babies!!"

     Yeah ...both Zaara and her brother in law had been very obsessed
with that white kitten ...much to Afzal & Nawal's dismay!!!

     Zaara looked down at the album with a sheepish expression,"Never
mind",she muttered lowly.

    In silence both friends watched the pictures which included the entire
Shaykh family.And there were many photos of Mr.Adnan Shaykh as well.
This was the reason their mom in law had asked them to not open the
album in front of the Shaykh brothers or even speak about it to them as
they had never even touched it in years.Obviously due to one reason...
....pictures of their father..!!

   Zaara paused at one of the pictures which looked like it was taken on
a special occassion probably Eid. The entire Shaykh family was seated in
a huge hall ,which both girls guessed was a part of the house where
the Shaykh grandparents currently resided.Aside from the familiar
faces, Mr.Abdur Rehman Shaykh,his wife.Firdous Shaykh,Mr.& Mrs.Adnan
Shaykh and little Afz and Arhaan,there was another couple with a little
baby as well.
