Recap

The doctor did a regular checkup on her, as soon as she arrived and what he told was a shocking news for all of us.

"There is a bad news sir. Your wife is currently traumatizing over something and may be a patient of depression. This can be very dangerous sir.....for her as well as for the one to come."

"One to come? What do you mean by that doctor?" Mom asked shocked.

"Well ofcourse I mean the baby, you don't know about it yet?" The doctor asked astonished.

"No!" I exclaimed. "We never knew!"

"Well... That's strange, your wife is 2 weeks pregnant" he told.

To say that i was happy was an understatement. I was on the moon but at the same time I was really worried about her health.

She's depressed?

But about what?

I couldn't find any reason for that. I don't know what's bothering her so much that she's traumtizing.... what is bothering my love?

"ZEESHAN!" Mom snapped her fingers in front of my face.

"Oh sorry" I said realising that I  had zoned out.

"I was saying that your wife is stable now. Just needs rest. Both physical and MENTAL!" the doctor said looking from under his spectacles.

"Um...okay doc!" I replied confused.

"Very well! I shall get going then" he said collecting his stuff.

"Thanks!" Me and mom stated in unison. I showed him the way out and thanked him again. He had also told me to check upon her diet programme.

MARYAM'S POV

"Hey why are you crying?"  The angel shook my shoulder.

I was sitting under an apple tree in a beautiful garden unknown to me. There was no one around. I was alone, sobbing my heart out.

I looked up from my knees

"Because my life is horrible!  I have nothing in my life. Nothing worth happiness... Nothing..." I again started crying.

"Don't cry. You have that beautiful flower. Doesn't that make you happy?" He asked pointing to my side.

"What flower?" I asked looking around until i saw a very beautiful  rose lying by my side.

I picked it up. It was very  beautiful indeed. And surprisingly I DID feel happy holding it.

"It does! It does make me happy. Its  beautiful. " I said after a while looking into his eyes.

"Can I keep it?" I asked hopefully.

"Yes ofcourse! It's all yours" he replied smiling.

The angel then flew away before saying, "take care of it Maryam"

"I will" I whispered.

"Maryam?"

"Mano? Are you awake?"

"Huh? I tried to respond and open my eyes but they weren't opening.

I tried harder and harder and put all my might in it. They fluttered a bit and a large beam of light rushed through. I shut them tight again.

"Mano... take it easy... Don't worry, I'm here, don't worry...." Came a masculine voice.

Someone was rubbing my hands, a familiar touch....

Ze..Zeeshan?

"Zeeshan??" I mumbled

"I'm here baby! Dun worry, I'm here."

"I...I can't open my eyes....its too...bright..." I told him.

"Hold on a sec." He immediately shifted and turned off the lamp on my side.

I opened my eyes a little bit, Zeeshan was sitting by my side still holding my hand. I was in my room on our bed.

I gazed around confused. My body was sore and my eyes too. I couldn't remember a single thing.

"Zeeshan?" I called.

"Hmm?" He replied from my side. He had his eyes closed and his head rested on my hands.

"What happened?" I asked tiredly

Zeeshan looked into my eyes deep. I was anxiously waiting for the reply but he kept looking.

"Don't worry, nothing major, you just...broke down maybe" he said cautiously

My eyes widened.

"Its alright! We'll talk about it later" he said.

I know something is wrong, he isn't telling me but I know....I was too tired to think anymore, I closed my eyes shut and went into a deep slumber.
