Nimra pov
When Hussain opened my veil,our eyes locked.His eyes portrayed the pain he was going through..memories of his wedding with Sanaa had come rushing back but only this time fate had played a cruel joke
It was me instead of Sanaa!!!!

Har baar ache login ke saath bura kyun hota hai??
Shayad agar Sanaa apni bemaari ke baare main Hussain ko bataati toh aaj woh zinda hoti
Shayad Hussain ko iss dard se guzarna nahi parta
Shayad...yeh ek alfaz zindagi ko ajeeb tarha badal deta hai...

I would not have minded had Sanaa been alive
I would not have minded not having Hussain as mine
Atleast i would not have seen him going through the pain that he is going through now

With tear-filled eyes,Hussain forced a weak smile and abruptly left from there
I rushed behind him and found him sitting on the window sill having clutched Sanaa's photograph in his hand

With tears flowing from his eyes,he was talking to the Sanaa in the photograph who would probably never respond to his questions and neither listen to his pleas
Neither hug him tight when he needed her the most
Nor hold his hand and say..i will always be there for you....

"Sa..Sanaa,aaj maine tumhari khwaish poori karli.Nimra se nikkah karliya hai maine...tumhare liye aur Aarzoo ke liye.Ab toh tum khush ho haina??Batao mujhe..jawab do mujhe...tum khush to ho??"

I tapped Hussain slightly on the shoulder and he looked at me with tears still continuing to flow from his eyes

"Nimra...Sanaa ko kaho na mujhe jawab de..usko kaho na woh mujhe bataye...kya ab woh khush hai???"

I could not utter a word no matter how hard i tried
The words chocked my throat and i felt helpless
Extremely helpless!!!

The words were not ready to leave my mouth to console Hussain
Maybe because i have never seen him in a more devastating state than i am seeing him today

I felt my hands were tied in shackles...
Shackles of love,compromise and friendship
I felt tied up...
Not only as Mrs Hussain Asif but as Nimra,an ordinary girl with ordinary dreams,and,Hussain's best friend

Finally mustering the courage,i cupped his face in my hands and he bore his eyes into mine

"Hussain,hum dono ka nikkah hojaye aur Aarzoo ko ammi ka saaya mile,yeh Sanaa ki aakhri khwaish thi.Woh jahan bhi hogi,bohot khush hogi par agar tum udaas rahoge toh uss ki rooh bhi udaas rahegi.Tumne mujhse nikkah toh karliya,par Aarzoo ko sirf ammi ki nahi,abbu ki bhi zaroorat hai.Woh tumhari beti hai Hussain and usse tumhari zaroorat hai."

Hussain looked at me and suddenly engulfed me in a hug around my waist
With tears flowing from our eyes,i hugged him back as he comtinued burying his face in my waist

Hussain pov
Nimra is right
I cannot be selfish
I have my best friend as my wife
A girl who has abandoned her dreams just to become my life partner,my better half and my support

I have a daughter who needs me
Aarzoo..Sanaa's gift to me and her sacrifice as well

After Nimra left from the room,i opened the wardrobe and removed Sanaa's diary
I sat down and flipped the pages reading word for word that Sanaa had written in her diary

The rest of the pages were blank because her last written date was during the time when she was expecting Aarzoo in her fourth month of pregnancy
The period when she came to know about her illness
The month when she came to know she was suffering from cervical cancer!!!!

I turned the blank pages to find nothing else written on them but came to a sudden halt at a page that had photographs stuck on it
The date was one day before the birth of Aarzoo

I looked at the photographs..
One was taken during the time when Sanaa and i had got engaged
The second photograph had been taken during our wedding reception

Besides it were two other photographs
Mine and Sanaa's childhood photographs
Beneath all those photographs,Sanaa had written down a paragraph in her neat and calligraphic handwriting

Ever since i started the journey of love,life and friendship with you
I have found peace in everything i do
You have always meant the world for me but...
Partner,my time in this world is up
Its time for me to leave this earth because...
My journey is over
I am saying good-bye with a heavy heart leaving my ever-lasting love for you
I love you to the squares of infinity Hussain
I love you....

I slowly closed the diary and let realization sink within me
Sanaa is no more!!!!
Putting aside the diary,tears welled up in my eyes as i thought of my times with her
My mind rushed down to memory lane where i had the sweetest memories with her!!!!!

Loved ones can leave you and depart
But...
Their love for you can never end!!!!!
