29 . Saving a Life

                   WORD COUNT:710

Hamza's pov:

The guilt never ended, it was like a never ending episode of a series , "whatever happens life has to go on"
the above phrase was easy to say , but difficult to be implemented . Moving on is not an easy task .I was laughing at the day time and crying during night . I just couldn't face my Hayat. I was not able to look at her blue eyes like before .

I followed her for a few weeks , to which she never responded , actually it was not her fault , it was mine , because I never gave her an opportunity to respond , I never gave her an opportunity to acknowledge my presence , I was stalking her without her knowledge and then now I am expecting her to respond to me .

Good things happen amidst all the bad things occurring continuously in our life . Business has picked up , boutique owners recognize me . They have started giving me orders without my naggings and beggings. Work was heavy but work never consumed me like how everyone describes it , but instead Hayat consumed my mind .

As I was struck in my own thoughts , there was a sudden noise , screamings were heard everywhere. I felt like fainting as the shrills got louder . There was smoke everywhere due to the bomb blast . Buildings collapsed and people were running here and there . There was blood everywhere on the roads . The scene was horrible. It looked different to see from the victims point of view . An unknown fear crept in .

People breathing their last breath and uttering their last words made me shiver . It bought tears to my eyes . As I was standing there , a group of people pulled me along with them into an old house . I have spent all my life trying to kill these people and now even at this time , when their own lives are not assured they are trying to protect me . I went in along with them . Many of them were praying as if it was their last prayers and I prayed that it must not be their last one .

As I stood there near the window glancing at all the horrible things happening outside , I noticed a pretty little girl with brown curly hair . She was facing the opposite side with her back towards me .she must be three or four year old , definitely not more than that . She was petite . She was screaming in fear , the scene shook my heart , she fainted on the roads just like that . It was unbearable to watch all these from a distance . So I ran out to lift that little girl . I don't know how or why I did this ? . But I just ran out on the streets uttering the khalimah in case that I may get shot . I lifted her , she was so fair and fragile . Even with her eyes closed , she looked pretty . I lifted her and ran with all my speed to the old house . There People surrounded her uttering all the duas they know . I splashed water on her face to which she responded, her eye balls showed some movement though her eyes were closed , after a few minutes she opened her eyes and blinked . She was shocked at first to see so much people around her . Later when I narrated her the story , she understood the situation, but she started crying , searching for her mom .

This is the toughest part , where we have to convince them though we know that her mom might be dead by now . She was weeping a lot now . I just assured her everything will be okay soon . Maybe if she had lost her family today and if she had no one, surely I will adopt her and look after her .

Hayat's pov :

Life is going on . I am not living my life , I am just breathing and surviving . Waking up to a dull morning and returning back to an even more dull evening became a routine nowadays . No laughter , no happiness , nothing .

As I was nearing our home , there was a sudden riot , an unbearable noise , shrills were heard everywhere , screams deafened my ears , gunshots were too loud to open my eyes. I ran towards a near by old building along with a group of people.....
