Hussain's pov
I walked towards Early Learners kindergarten School to pick up Alizah, Shehry's daughter. She was more closer to me than she was to Shehry though she meant the world to him. Probably, had my Aarzoo been alive as well, i would have dropped and picked her from school like i pick up Alizah.

Seeing the kids rush into their parents arms made me feel extremely lonely. I wish i hadn't spoken those harsh words to Nimra and let her go away from my life. Losing Aarzoo exactly a year after having lost Sanaa did not come easy on me. I entered depression once more with no companion to come and extend her hand or wipe my tears away.

Kaash...yeh ek lafz jaane kya nahi badal deta meri zindagi main...

"Chachu, chachu...Aap kahaan kho gaye philse?"

I looked down and saw Alizah already standing there looking at me.

"Kahin bhi nahi, mera bacha. Chachu toh aapka intezaar kar rahe the ki aap kab aaoge."

She smiled at me and i scooped her up in my arms only to notice a little girl looking at me and Alizah very intently.

"Oops Chachu...main toh aapko bataana bhul gayi. Yeh meri new friend hai. Iska naam Sabah hai lekin yeh bari sad sad lehti hai."

I looked at Sabah and her features somehow brought back memories. Reminded me of Aarzoo and Nimra. I somehow even felt connected to her like as if i shared a special bond with her.

I scooped up Sabah in my arms as well and she put her arms around my neck.

"Aap itni sad sad kyun hoti ho, beta?"

Sabah looked at me, sadness and grief clearly being reflected in her eyes.

"Uncle, woh issliye kyunki mujhe mere papa bohot yaad aatey hai. Sab bachey apne papa ke saath ghar jaatey hai lekin mujhe lene ke liye mumma aati hai."

I put down Sabah and Alizah and cupped Sabah's face in my hands.

"Aapke papa kahaan hai beta?"

She shrugged.

"Pata nahi uncle. Main sirf mumma aur Ayaan uncle aur Rukhsaana aunty ke saath rehti hu. Papa nahi hai udhar."

I was about to ask her more when a lady came towards us and the sadness on Sabah's face changed into a grin as she bent down to hug Sabah.
She looked at me and i greeted her.

"Assalam Aleikum. Aap Sabah ki ammi ho?"

She smiled at me and shook her head, chuckling a bit.

"Waaleikum Salaam. Jee nahi, main Sabah ki maasi hu. Uski Rukhsana maasi...Maafi chahte hai lekin humey der ho rahi hai. Khuda Hafiz."

The lady took hold of Sabah's hand and left away with her hurriedly in a black car parked nearby.

Ajeeb hai.
Mujhe aisa kyu mehsoos ho raha hai ki iss ladki se, iss choti si bachi se mera koi rishta hai?
Kyun aisa lag raha hai jaise yeh bachi mera ansh hai?
Mera ek hissa hai?
Kyun???
