Baby Kulsoom was born on a very angry winter night.It was pouring down heavy rain and the cold breeze was knocking down on the windows with a rage.Due to the rain,there was also a power shortage.
Candles flickered in every corner of the room giving it a warm glow and providing a peaceful and relaxing environment.
And yet,it wasn't so relaxing for Kulsoom's mother as she screamed with another push,the midwives surrounding her.
Her screams pierced through the room as her husband stood beside her stroking back her hair and holding onto her hand,as it would help with the pain of labour that a woman has to go through it.
And with a last agonizing scream,a baby's cries filled the room.The midwives cut the umbilical cord and wrapped the bundle of joy up in a blanket and handed it over to the mother.It's a girl,they said.
The baby gazed up into her mother's soft eyes and found her first love.
Kulqusoom,said her mother as she looked up at her husband and smiled.
But alas,this moment happiness did not last for long and it was the last time Kira shared a loving moment with both her parents.
On 17 July 2001 Olivia Sufyan passed away in the aftermath of giving birth to meet her Lord.
And as they say,when a life ends,a new one begins.
