DEEP LOVE ||✔️

Prologue

||Maha POV||

I was playing with my brother COD. We both were alone in house as our parents were out for a date because today was their anniversary. Dadu was sleeping in his room and all the servants were off today.

I and Fahad were eating ice and were having marathon of Final Destinations. We were on part 4 when my phone was ringing.

.........

"Assalam o Alikum!"

.........

"Walikum Assalam! You are Mr. Ahsan's relatives?"

.........

"Yes!" I said, confusingly.

.........

"I'm sorry your parents are no more. They both died in an accident."

.........

My phone fell from my hand on my lap. My tears started flowing from my eyes.

It was impossible for me to believe what the person on the phone informed me. I saw my parents few hours before they left. They were perfectly fine and was alive.

"Appi? Appi? What happened? Why are you weeping?" Fahad asked.

His voice brought me out. I looked at him with my wet eyes.

"Mama abbi....," I started crying.

I didn't know how to tell him that they left us. The words were stuck in my throat. I was unable to form words to tell him the truth.

"Appi what happened to mama and abbi? You are scaring me," he asked.

He was trying his best to not to act scared but little did he feel that something was wrong.

"What happened beta?" Dadu asked as he entered the room.

"They left us. They left us," I said to them and started sobbing.

Fahad shook my shoulders and asked loudly, "Who leave us tell me?"

"Mama and abbi!" I yelled at him and fell on the floor.

Fahad looked at me like I was joking. Dadu was also in the state of disbelief.

"You are joking? Right?" Fahad asked and laughed.

I shook my head at him and hugged him tightly. Suddenly, dadu also fell on the floor and cried with us.

Mama's body was in front of my eyes and I didn't know how to react. What to say and how to handle everything.

I was feeling numb and was in the state of shock. My eyes were red and puffy but there was no more tear in my eyes.

"Dear, are you OK?" Maryam aunty asked, softly.

I nodded my head numbly but didn't utter anything. In reality I was far from being fine. How could I be fine when my parents, my world, left me. My whole world shattered in a second.

Now who will protect us? Now who will save us from this world? Now who will fulfill our wishes and demands? Who?

Khadija appi sat in front of me and said, "Time to give them ghusal and you have to give khala ghusal."

She took me where we were going to give mama ghusl.

(A/N: Ghusl is an Islamic ritual. It means bath. According to Islamic way washing the deceased body. Correct me if I explained it wrongly.)

After giving mama ghusl with the help of Shifa khala, Khadija appi, Shamsa aunty and Maryam aunty we took mama outside.

Ma shaa Allah her face was shining with glow. I looked towards abbi and his face was also shining with glow.

All the men came where the bodies were. Ladies stepped back from the bodies. Someone forcefully pulled me back, away from the body.

When they raise their bodies and yelled, loudly, "ALLAH O AKBAR!!"

I fely my body shiver in fear and two or three sob leave from my mouth. I close my eyes and pray for them. Men take both of them for Janazah. I start reciting Surah Mulk with everyone.

Fahad laid his head on my lap and started weeping. I never saw him in my life in this condition. I had to be strong for him and dadu.

Dadu didn't spoke anything whole day. He shut himself from everyone and also didn't eat anything. I forcefully made him eat dinner and take his medicines. He was sleeping in his room.

And I was in my room with Fahad. He was fifteen years old, young for losing his parents.

At whatever stage we were we both still young to lose our parents.

Khala and abbi's friends were downstairs in the living hall. They didn't leave us alone after funeral.

But bare papa left right after funeral. He wasn't looking a bit sad, upset or sorry after losing his brother.

(A/N: Bare papa means father's elder brother.)

"Appi, can I sleep with you in your room?" Fahad asked, slowly and brokenly.

(A/N: Appi means sister)

I knew, like me, he was also scared of sleeping alone.

I nodded my head and said, "Sure."

He slept on my lap after thirty minutes. I rested his head on pillow and went downstairs.

No one of us was believing that mama and abbi left us.

Abbi's friends left after one hour but khala and khalu were staying there with me.

I returned to my room. I laid beside Fahad and run my hand in his hairs. He has same hairs as abbi.

I wanted to sleep but sleep was far away from me. One by one my tears flowed through my eyes to my pillow.

I wiped for what felt like hours. When there were no tear left then my eyes slowly closed.

• • •

Bare papa was taking me, Fahad and dadu with him to live with his family.

Bari mama was not fond of us. She hated us and our guts but didn't know why. I tried to object bare papa but he didn't listen to me and took us with him.

(A/N: Bari mama means wife of father's elder brother.)

It was two weeks of mama and abbi's death. It passed so slowly. Every night I shed tears in the darkness on my pillow. I tried to smile in front of everyone but it was faked or forced.

I didn't want to believe that they left us in this cruel world. The cruel world where everyone called us orphan now.

Little did I know I was going to have dark future which would give me nothing but nightmares.
