Their Tomorrow

Final sleep forever

Ehtasham closed and remembered how happy and excited she was and how pretty she looked while trying on the dresses which now lay unopened and of no use and how she was peacefully sleeping last night when he confessed his love to her unknowing that it was her last sleep only if he had known he would have woken her up and confessed his hidden feelings to her only if he knew and now it was too late and he wanted to spend all his time with her complementing her day and night ,listening to her silly jokes and talks he just wanted to hear her voice he wanted her beside her. But she was gone now forever the way she craved for his attention day and night now he was craving just to see her.
Last night when he had woken up for tahajjud he had called her name thrice but she dint wake up so he kept quite thinking that she must've been too tired he let her sleep .Then when the adhaan for fajr was called he again called her but she dint respond so when he went to wake her up like most of the days when she was sleepy and had been lazy to wake up for fajr he would drag her to the bathroom holding her hand ,he went and took her hand to pull her when he realised her hand was lifeless and when he saw she was already gone. Ehtasham then prayed his fajr namaz and called her parents and his parents and Aaliya's body was then taken to his house and there she was given her final ghusl with usscented soap even though she had plenty of fragrant soaps she couldn't use it. She was then dressed in a white shroud though she had so many colourful exclusive designer dresses some of which she had never worn but admired and all the jewellery lay in the closet and she couldn't even a small piece of her accessory or her footwear and then she was put to sleep in the dust deep down inside the earth and was covered with mud and that was the last time he and all her family members had last seen her. From the time as a kid her parents never let her go anywhere without accompanying her and after her wedding too she had never gone anywhere without anyone accompanying her and now everyone was leaving her alone to her final destination. He hadn't cried all day long and now when he was back home the home which he together with her had set and dreamed of and the days they spent together laughing together crying together he couldn't control his emotions and so he cried and cried missing her and thinking about why did he left everything for tomorrow,why he left his confessions of love for her to be made tomorrow,spending time with her for tomorrow,paying her his full attention for tomorrow. If only he would have understood earlier that there is no tomorrow for them together he would have loved her like there is no tomorrow.
