Alia POV

I saw Azad nearing the telephone with tears in his eyes. How could he cry?

"Maami! Tell me! Is my ma back? Where is she? Is she there? I want to talk to her! Please maami! I want to hear her voice!" Azad whined.

"Azu, are you there? Talk to me,talk to ma!"a female voice came over.

Before i could even react, Azad dropped to the ground. Aisha was petrified upon looking at his action.

"Rani Halima, i..i shall call you later"

"Aqil wait! We are coming there with Rani Halima at night. Inform Raja Imran and Raja Mubashir!"maami  ordered and kept the phone down.

"Azad, they are coming here tonight. Abba wants me to inform the rest...so shall we?" Aqil dragged.

The moment Aqil announced that they were coming there, Azad squeezed me into his embrace. He buried his face into the crook of my hijab and we stood there like that for a while, while Azad wracked with the force of his unvoiced cries.

"Bhaiya, i will go and call the rest...we will meet you there..finally Rani Halima is back; your ma is back!" Aisha said and went out of the room leaving me alone with the giant that was pulling me close.

He pulled me closer to him, wrapping his arms around me. His embrace was warm, and his big, strong arms seemed very protective when wrapped around my body. The world around me melted away as I squeezed him back, not wanting the moment to end. Afterall, he got his purpose of living. He had found his childhood friend and his wife and most importantly, his ma.

Azad POV

I didnt know what to do when she said that Alia was lamba and she was the one who was betrothed to me. I saw her looking at me with tears in her eyes and she couldnt utter a single word.

"Dont cry. Its fate and after 20 years you both have reunited. However that isnt the important news. Rani Halima is back!"

In that instant my skin greyed and my mouth hung with lips slightly parted and my eyes were stretched as wide as it could.

I neared Alia and talked to the reciever.

"Maami! Tell me! Is my ma back? Where is she? Is she there? I want to talk to her! Please maami! I want to hear her voice!" I wailed.

"Azu, are you there? Talk to me,talk to ma!"a female voice came over.

Thats ma. Thats her voice. Thats the nickaname she kept for me. Its her. Its surely her!

Without even thinking, my nerves shut and i immediately fall on the ground. Alia kneeled beside me and placed one arm on my shoulder.

"Azad, they are coming here tonight. Maami wants me to inform the rest...so shall we?" Aqil dragged.

Upon hearing that, i let a loud shrill and plastered Alia to my body. My ma was coming here. My ma was coming to see me after 20 years!

I squeezed Alia and snuggled on her dupatta. She brought her arm up and patted my shoulders and consoled me.

"Azad, come on! She is going to be here, she is fine and safe with my abba!"she assured me while patting my head.

The arms that held me were soft, yet strong from all the wielding of the sword. The feel of her body so close to me, soothed me more than i had expected. I didnt want to be pulled away from her. It felt as if when I was in her arms, all my pain went away - mental and physical, mostly the depressing pain.
