"Forgive me  Begum Sahiba but if you wouldn't have been so careless then I am sure things wouldn't have gone this worst" She closed her eyes absorbing the news she just received with a heavy heart. How come she didn't realized the changes occurring inside her were not to be taken  so casually.

Dilshad Ahmad Khan the very much Known name in Shimla. She is the wife of late Nawab Zafar Ahmad Khan and the Begum Sahiba. who single handedly have run her whole empire and have raised her three children's after the loss of her husband in quite a young age. She is the most respectable and loved women in this town. 

When her husband died and she was left with 3 kids to raise, it was a difficult task for her. Her relatives didn't make it easier for her either. They have their bad eyes on the empire that belongs to her Kids. Zafar was an only child and Dilshad was an orphan so there were no blood relations who can help them in any way. But the only cunning relatives that she had to fought and she did.

She didn't let the name of Khan's drown in any way and now she have two son's to take care of everything after her especially her oldest Son Asad Ahmad khan. who was a replica of his Father in matter of looks and the love for their Business. But in terms of nature they both were polar opposite. Asad was more of a serious and arrogant man. He was also termed as ruthless, he was quite popular among girls in Shimla. And that made him more proud of himself.

Where as Ayaan share his nature with his Father, just like him he was sweet, funny and very Charming and just like his brother he too was popular among Girls. But unlike Asad he believe in Love, he was an hardcore romantic and was looking for the one who was made just for him. Then there was her youngest child Najma. The heart and soul of Khan brothers. They loved her to death, she was just like her mother Kind and caring and beautiful.

Dilshad wasn't feeling well from past year, but she didn't paid any heed to it but from sometime her condition worsened that lead her to the hospital. Today came the reports that states she has Leukemia. She knows this is a terminal Disease and she doesn't have much time. She wasn't afraid of dying as she knows after death she will be reunited with her Love Zafar, she was just afraid of leaving her kids alone.

Dilshad - How much time I have doctor? 

Doctor - Six to eight months or maybe an year

Dilshad - Thank you for coming to the office and telling this directly to me not Asad.

Doctor - But he need to Know Begum Sahiba, all three of them have to.

Dilshad - I know Doctor and I will tell them on the right time.

Doctor - Okay then, I will take your leave. Just keep taking your medicines and call me if there is anything. 

Doctor left leaving a broken Dilshad who just got to know about the short life span she have. Who will handle the home, who will handle their kids. Asad was a grown man but Ayaan and Najma they still needed someone to take care of their needs. A new Begum Sahiba is needed to handle every thing and that can be only possible if Asad get married. But who will marry him, where will he get the right girl to whom she can trust and leave her everything in her hand.

The girls Asad hang out with are not worthy of him and this position. They all are just after his money or his looks. She can see how they leach on her Son. But she can't let them enter his life to destroy everything. She was lost in her thoughts when there was a knock on her Cabin's door.

"Come in..." She straightened up to see her Manager Rashid Farooqui entering inside. "Assalamoalaikum Begum Sahiba.." he greeted her and she smiled, "Walekum Assalam Rashid how are you?" He kept a file on her table and offered her a pen.

Rashid - I am good, but you didn't seem okay. You shouldn't have came here today you need to rest.

Dilshad - Oh I am all okay. I just get bore at home... Office just refresh my mood.

Rashid - Ohh but still take care. Well I have a request to make today.

Dilshad - Tell me.

Rashid - It's my Marriage anniversary today and my daughter's have planned a little party for us, so just want to leave early if it's okay with you.

Dilshad - Of course why not. Happy anniversary to you and your wife.

"Thank you.." And with that he took the file back and turned to leave but then stopped.. "If you feel okay, you can come with me.. It's just a small get together with close family members you will feel good to meet them especially my family and it will be a change of mood..." She thought for a second, "I know it won't be upto your standards, but trust me my Daughters cook nice meal you will have fun.." And her lips broke into a smile. 

Dilshad - Of course I will come along. Can't miss an opportunity of having good food now can we.

Rashid smiled back and left from their. Rashid Farooqui, a simple and hardworking Middle class Man. He was the manager in Khan industry from ages. Dilshad trust him a lot and has always treated him like a brother. He too respected Begum Sahiba. His life was just limited to his work and his 3 beautiful ladies. His wife Sheerin and daughters Zoya and Humaira. They were the apple of his eyes.

His wife has raised there daughters with such a good manners and with Islamic beliefs. Zoya the oldest one was doing her PHD in English Literature and was soon to be a Doctor. She was your Typical hijabi, a girl next door. Sweet, simple, caring and very much into Islam. She offers Namaz five times a day without any unnecessary gap. Loves her family especially her younger sister. 

Humaira was in graduation 2nd year. She was doing fine arts and was a great artist. She was funny, outspoken and loud exact opposite of her sister. But just like Zoya she also try to be a good Muslimah but was lazy as hell. They were a happy family. Living happily in whatever they have. They never asked for more but always did Shukr of the things the almighty has blessed them with.
