My broken pieces (on hold)

Chapter fifteen

‎                           بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

Asiya wakes up to see the sun has rising above the horizon, she muttered under her breath AstagfirullAh how can I sleep till daybreak, I missed my fajr sallah, Ya Allah what is wrong with me. She ran to the washroom perform ablution, came out and started saying her missed morning namaz (prayer) after completing her namaz and Azkar (supplications) she sat down on the chair and blow some dua to Zaid. Today is the first day I slept in a long time. She holds Zaid cold palm in hers and kissed it softly and when she was about to rise from the chair she saw his fingers moving and he's heart rate is dropping as the GCS (Glasgow Coma scale) machine is making sound beep beep beep. She rang the nurses bell and when she saw it's taking time for them to come in, she ran as fast as she could to the nurses call room saying please help me, it's Zaid please save him. I can't bear to lose him, please nurse do something. The nurse attendant called the doctor on call and in no time they rushed to the VIP room. The nurse told Asiya that she can't tag along and it did be better if she waits at the lobby, she nodded her head and hold the nurse's hand firmly telling her to please save him, the nurse pressed Asiya's hand in assurance and went onto the VIP room. Asiya have literally lost it, she have been saying all the supplications that comes to her mind whilst crying her eyes out. I cannot lose you Zaid, you're the only person left that I have, Zaid please don't live me, you can beat me what you want, shout at me, curse me and do whatever you want to do to me but please don't live me, I am addicted to all the pain you have caused me, the beatings, the rantings, and all of it Zaid. I am addicted to this ogre side of you Zaid, I don't even want you to change, and I promise to let you go, but Zaid don't go please, I owe you big deal. She kept crying and talking to herself. The nurse and doctor are trying their best to save Zaid's life, he's breathing has almost ceased till they gave him shock before it came back to normal again, both the nurse and doctor heaved a deep sigh of relief. They checked his vitals and everything was back to normal, doctor Charlie said I really pity this young lady, I mean she recently lost her mother and see how her husband is fighting for his life, I pray that God Almighty grant him quickest recovery and the nurse said amen. The nurse met crying Asiya at the lobby she rubbed her back gently when Asiya saw the nurse her heart almost came out of her lungs, she started trembling asking her if he's alive. The nurse smiled at her and told her that he's sound now, she continued by saying Mrs Zaid I think it's better you get some rest please stop stressing yourself this much or else you will fall sick as well and that is the last thing we want, stay strong for your husband and have faith that he will be fine God Willing, Asiya gave the nurse a very tight smile and muttered a thank you.
             

              3 days after the incident Asiya have not eaten nor does she sleep, Ruman told Asiya to go home and rest, Mart akhi you're not doing yourself and us a favor, we don't want you to fall sick mart akhi, with which one do you want us to bear, seeing you sick or laying unconscious akhi? Marti akhi you better come out of it already, you're the strongest woman I have ever seen in my life and seeing you breaking in to tiny pieces day by day makes me lose hope mart akhi, I cannot bear to continuing seeing this side of you and I am very sure akhi won't as well. Mart akhi please do yourself and us a favor please, go home and take proper rest and believe me I will take good care of your heartbeat she winks at her. Asiya smile and said Ruman even the strongest being feels pain, even the strongest being sometimes break in to tiny pieces, Ruman, the pain I am feeling is unbearable, I cannot do this anymore Ruman, I just want to wake up from my dream already, I want someone to tell me it is a dream, I want to wake up and see my mother giving me an earful because I didn't do my chores on time or how I spend my time watching suits while I have important things to do, Ruman allow me to feel the pain, allow me to be with Zaid for I am certain I will lose it when he's not in my sight, Ruman I am sorry but I think I have fallen for Zaid and I hate myself for that, knowing that I don't have place in his life, knowing that he will never love me, knowing that I will always be a scum to him, knowing that, Ruman didn't let her continue, she said letting her tears flow freely please mart akhi don't say that again, I promise you akhi will come to his senses and know that you're a blessing to him after all he has been through, mart akhi you are a rare jewel, you are the definition of perfect, you are the best for him and I promise you it will be worth the pain in the end, I grew up in Akhi's watch, believe me you akhi is not like that in the past, is the pain that made him change, his past is hunting him and he is in despair, you are the only one that can rescue him mart akhi, you're the only one that can bring back our old akhi, you're the only one that can bring back light to his soul after being gloomed for several years, you're our only hope mart akhi so please don't forget that. Asiya sighs and said I wish I am Ruman but thank you anyway. They keep talking till asr azan went off. They say their asr prayer and Ruman manage persuading Asiya to go home and get some rest. Later in the night when Salma and Mr. Malik came to bring food to Asiya and Ruman, Ruman told them that she will sleep in the hospital today. They left with Asiya even though her heart doesn't feel right about leaving him but what can she do with Ruman's ranting.
           

     
         She took a hot and relaxing shower, rub her body gently with moisturizer, took out her grey nightie, wore it, lay her bed with the intention of sleeping but still couldn't, she kept tossing and turning till she heard her phone ringing and when she saw the caller ID her heart beat speedily. She picked up chanting all duas under her breath and said her Salam, why are you calling this late Ruman , Ruman laugh and said hold the horses mart akhi I know you are not sleeping, I called to assure you of akhi's safety, they both laughed heartily, Asiya said you can't be serious Ruman and God what can I do without you you little brat, Ruman said umm umm mart akhi I know you wanted to say what can I do without Zaid. Asiya blushes and said please Ruman allow me and besides he's my life so without him I am lifeless you know, they yet again laughed when Ruman clears her voice and said I actually call to inform you that akhi has regain conscious 2 hours after you left and Asiya was over joyed she went straight and did her sujoodus shukr ( prostration of gratitude) and held back her phone when Ruman was saying are you at all there mart akhi? She said yes Ruman I am just ball over that's why. They said their Salams and ended the call. Asiya went to the washroom perform ablution and started praying to thank Allah for allowing her witness this day.  The next day Asiya refuses to go to the hospital claiming that she is not feeling too well, in her head she thought she is the last person Zaid would want to see, while Zaid on the other hand when he saw his father and sister he kept looking at the door hoping to put Asiya in his eyes but she didn't show up, she is the only one I want to see, he silently whispered and waiting for explanation why didn't she show up, when nobody talked about it he sighs and said maybe she will come later, maybe she's busy with her mother, maybe this and that... Salma and Mr. Malik where busy talking to him while he was lost in his thoughts. He chatted a little bit with them and lay back claiming he needed to rest feeling too disappointed

Assalamu Alaykum warahmatullAhi wabarkatuHu I hope all of you are in good state of health and eman.

Alhamdulillah our Zaid has finally regained conscious, hehe this one that Asiya is avoiding to see Zaid hmm and why do you think Zaid felt disappointed when Asiya didn't show up????
