ZOYA ZEESHAN AHMED - POINT OF VIEW:
My body was paining like hell, I tried to open my eyelids and thankfully it wasn't too hard for me to do it.
I opened my eyes and the face of Zeeshan came to view. He was sitting beside me holding my hand in his while his head was on the bed. I smiled at the way he was sleeping.
I raised my hand up to his head and started to play with his hair but he soon noticed it and sat up straight and looked at me with a smile and hope in his eyes.
"You're awake" he whispered and, I nodded. He leaned down to my head and placed a kiss on my forehead.
"Thank god you are fine, I have been missing you. You know, I was very worried for you when you didn't woke up and it's been a whole week now and you just woke up, how much do you sleep?" he asked me and, I smiled at him.
"Don't judge me", I said and he smiled and intertwined our fingers. "I love you really very much and can't even think about you leaving me one more time" he scolded me and, I nodded.
I was surprised for what he said but then smiled "I love you too, right?" I asked to irritate him but he grinned and then smiled saying "You better do".
Soon he walked out and dad and Zain came inside.
"Dad"
"Zain"
I called them out worriedly when I remembered all the things which happened.
They came to me and, I hugged them while tears run down my eyes.
"She ... I ... I saw her" I said and dad shook his head "Don't think about her she was just a bad nightmare, huhn" he told me and, I nodded.
"Zain", I said looking in his direction.
"Yeah" he said and, I took a hold of his hand.
"Don't go anywhere alone she found out that you are alive and she will take you away from me" I told him and he exchanged a glance with dad.
"Zoya" Dad said and, I turned my head to look in his direction.
"What happened?" I asked them.
"Say something you are freaking me out" I told them and they looked down and dad said "She is death" he said and, I felt like a piece inside me didn't trust it.
"How?" I asked him.
"The cops shoot her to rescue you because she was going to attack you" he said and a tear rolled down my eyes.
After a long time silence, I said "I got my answers, dad."
"The questions, I never had answers for, I got them" I told them.
"Is a girl really a burden for the society?" I asked him and he shook his head.
"NO" he said.
"Don't ever think like that again, understood?" he told me and, I nodded my head.
"You are my princess and the best thing which ever happened in my life is you and Zain" he said and took both mine and Zain's hand in his.
"You are the reason for why I am alive until now and you are the blood in my heart which is making me breathe" he said and wiped my tears.
I got distanced after some hours and, I said "Zeeshan take me to her grave, please", I asked him and after many discussions, I won and he took me to her grave.
I got off the car and he gave me the flowers and, I walked to the grave as, I asked Zeeshan to stay there, I need some time with her alone.
I reached the grave and placed the flowers upon it.
A tear rolled down my eyes when I saw the name "Aima Anwar."
I sat down beside the grave and then said "Mama, I wished you would have realized what you said. I wished if you had meant what you said. I don't know what to say or feel. The things, I wanted answers for, I got them but one thing which always will stick me inside is that I never was able to change you or shall, I say I will always have the thing that, I hadn't made enough efforts for you to realise that boys and girls are equal they aren't different. It's not like that boys is better than girl. Yes boys are strong physically but then women are strong mentally. We all are humans so, I don't get why so much difference about the sex. A boy is a boy and a girl is a girl, both are humans and that means they are equal and have equal rights. I won't blame you for not giving me the love, I needed because it's not your fault either it's the fault of the society who make such differences and we people just carry them with us and believe what they say. And that's the same which happened with us. It's not just us who got affected by this thought. More people got affected by this and it's going on in other families and cultures too but the one who carries on with such thing is the one who does the mistake because that tells that you don't want to make a change."
"You got affected too, I wish you didn't maybe, I would have got what, I needed but, I can't change what have happened until now but, I will change it. I will make a change in the future, I promise you that" I said and then touched the grave before standing up and slowly walking back.
Before walking back, I turned around one time and looked at the grave "I love you mom and always will no matter what you did to me because at the last you are my mother", I said and then walked back to Zeeshan.
It's my turn to make a change for the future. No one should go through such things as I did just because of the wrong believing of the society!
Everyone shall make a change where the society tries to make it wrong!
