Chapter 33.
I'm extremely sorry. I'm so so so sorry for vanishing without notice. I had exams and my babies are not well. Please pray for them. Sorry again. So sorry.
Ignore mistakes.
Enjoy:)
"Then pull this outside which will lock it and the diaper won't leak." Zeeshan said, showing Noor how to do that.
"Oh ok."
"That's it." Zeeshan said before lifting Iiman up.
"How do you know how to do this?"
Zeeshan kept Iiman on the bed and sat next to her. "I'm surrounded with kids at work."
"And their parents. It's not like you have to take care of them all alone." Noor sat on the other side of Iiman.
"At times only one of them are present with the baby so I help them to change."
"Oh."
"But you should know that. You have a niece and a nephew."
"And I also have a sister-in-law. Handling two babies is not easy and I have two nieces. Manal, Afzal's daugther is always with them. So I never got a chance to be alone with the babies."
"Ok. I have to go now. You are sure you will be fine all alone?" Zeeshan stood up and started walking towards the table.
"Yes,I'm sure."
"Good. Our parents will be back in few hours so there is nothing to worry."
"I'm not worried."
"Good."
It had been two weeks since Anbreen's death. Naaz was slowly acting normal but she was still depressed. Mehmood was trying his best to make her feel better but now even he has started feeling depressed.
As for Zeeshan and Noor they were more stable than their parents. They were busy with the baby all the time. Having a baby unexpectedly is not a good situation. Luckily they didn't have to go shopping for the baby as Anbreen had already bought everything for her daughter.
"Noor."
Noor looked up and suddenly her eyes filled with water,"Kehara!"
Kehara smiled and came inside the room. Noor stood up and ran to her best friend.
"Thanks for coming." Noor said after giving her a hug.
"How are you?" Kehara asked.
"Not so good. But better."
"What happened noorie?"
Noor sat down on the bed again,"Its hard to believe that she is gone. I was not so close to her but now that I know she was my cousin it just hurts a lot. And everyone is sad and depressed so it's not helping and above all Iiman. I was not ready for a baby."
"No one is ever ready for a baby. Don't worry you will do fine."
"I don't know."
"Trust yourself."
"Forget about this. You tell how are you? And who all are here?"
"Me and my three monkeys."
"No one else?"
"My dad."
"Ok."
"She is so cute MashaAllah." Kehara said smiling.
Noor smiled ,"I know."
"Come let's go down and meet Everyone."
"Yay!"
Noor picked up Iiman in her hands and then they went down. Everyone tried to change the depressing mood in the room into a normal atmosphere but nothing worked. Loss of a child is the most painful thing for a parent. Even if their other child try to cheer them up that won't work. Soon they stopped trying and let them be the way they are with a hope that everything will go back to normal soon.

"Ammi." Noor said coming in the room. Mrs. Khan, Kehara and her twins are in Noor's room. It was decided that they will sleep in Noor's room and Aman,Mr. Khan were in the guest room whereas Zeeshan and Dadajaan were going to sleep in Naaz's room. Tomorrow they have to vacant Anbreen's apartment so before that Naaz wanted to stay there with all her stuff, trying to feel her for the one last time. So Naaz and Mehmood went there.
"Yeah." Mrs. Khan said.
"Tea."
"May Allah bless you."
"Ammi have you noticed something." Kehara asked.
"What?" Mrs. Khan asked.
"Noor now calls you Ammi and not mom. How did that happen?"
"Yeah even I noticed that." Mrs. Khan said smiling.
"But I didn't. Ya Allah when did I start calling you Ammi?"
"I think after your Nikkha." Mrs. Khan said.
"Wow. That's weird." Noor said sitting down on her bed.
"You are weird Noor."
"Forget that! I need to say something." Noor said excitedly.
"What?" Mrs. Khan asked.
"I was feeling guilty for feeling like that in this situation."
"Noor, what happened?" Kehara asked.
Noor smiled,"I have a daughter now! This is so exciting. I know it will bring a lot of responsibilities on me but I'm so happy. I have a daughter!"
Kehara and Mrs. Khan started laughing,"you are really weird sister-in-law."
"I have a daughter!"

"Haajar!!!!! No no no! He is mine." - Noor.
"No he is not!" - Haajar.
"You girls are mad." - Qailah.
" Some one please get me married to him!" - Haajar.
"If I had to get him married to someone I would have done that for myself." - Noor.
"Hey! He is your ex -crush. Don't crush on him now!" - Haajar.
"And who made that rule?" - Noor.
"You are married!" - Haajar.
"That doesn't matter. I saw him first, I saw his serial first and I told you about him! I have the right over him!" -Noor.
"Noor you are married." Qailah.
"Like I said that doesn't matter! All I need to say is Talaq talaq talaq and I'm out!" - Noor.
"Let's go on a holiday to south Korea." - Haajar.
"Yes please! Let's do that!" - Noor.
"Ignore these silly girls. Qailah you tell me how are you feeling?" - Kehara.
"Not so good not so bad. I just want it out!" - Qailah.
"This is exactly what Kehara said when she entered her ninth month." - Noor.
"Everyone says that." - Kehara.
"I'm so excited Qailah. I wish I was there to see the baby." - Zyva.
"Qailah everyone will scare you about the labour just ignore them." - Kehara.
"Yeah please. They scare the hell out of you." - Yamina.
"Girls......I have a baby without labour!" - Noor.
"Noor! Don't make me feel jealous. I'm already not feeling good." -Qailah.
"She is actually very lucky! No 9 months torture,No morning or evening sickness,No Labour. You lucky duck." - Kehara.
"That I'm."- Noor."
"Then leave hong for me." - Haajar.
"In your dreams! Forget him!" - Noor.
"Here we go again."- Zyva.
"Noor Baji please!"-Haajar.
"No!"- Noor.
Noor smiled and shook her head. She was enjoying teasing Haajar. Then She started thinking about her favorites show. After some time she looked at her right and saw her daughter. She was very happy to finally have her own kid. She was always jealous of Kehara and Yamina because they use to take their babies home at the end of the day leaving Noor all alone. But now she has a baby which never leaves her side. Suddenly Noor's eyes became wide.
"Ya Allah! I just realised Iiman turned 1 month old today."- Noor.
"Already? MashaAllah."- Zynah.
"I want to meet her!"- Haajar.
"Noor when are you coming here with her?" - Zyva.
"I don't know. Phuphu needs us now so we cannot leave her." - Noor.
"Bring her with you."-Yamina.
"Noor please come. Let Amal and Keyaan met their cousin."- Kehara.
"Even I want to come. I will talk to Phuphu and decide." -Noor.
"That would be great.Talk today."-Zyva.
Noor looked up and smiled. Zeeshan smiled slightly and went to his wardrobe.
"Zeeshan let's go to new York."
Zeeshan frowned and turned around,"Why?"
"What do you mean by why? My family is there."
"I know that. You can go and meet them. Why do you want me to come with you."
"What will you do all alone here?"
"Where is mom and Iiman going?"
"We all are going."
"I said you to go not to take everyone with you."
"How will Iiman live without me?"
"With mom."
"She is more close to me than her."
"They are not alone I'm with them so don't worry and go."
No rolled her eyes. She unlocked her phone to read the messages. She read few messages but then she didn't feel like reading further so she locked her phone and threw it next to her on the bed. After few seconds She looked up at Zeeshan.
"Zeeshan can I ask you something?'
"Since when did you start asking permission before torturing me with your questions."
"Point. Anyway, Why didn't you meet your mother for three years when You went to india?"
"Where did that come from?"
"I always wondered why you refused to meet her. She was so upset and devastated."
"That was not me."
"What do you mean?"
"Baba decided that. He told me to tell her not to meet me."
"What? Why?"
"Because I was a mess then. He felt like his life was meaningless when he saw me in pain. He didn't want her to feel like that. He made sure she saw me only after I was sober and in a good condition."
Noor tilted her head,"That's so sweet. He is such a great husband. I wish even I had a husband like him."
Zeeshan rolled his eyes,"At least wait for me to leave the room before insulting me."
"You should learn something from your father."
Zeeshan picked up his shirt and went to the washroom. Noor smiled and jumped on their bed. She loved teasing him and that was the only fun part in her life at that point.
Noor was enjoying her Victory, unaware that someone was standing outside her room, broken and shattered.
Naaz was coming to take Iiman when she head what Zeeshan said. From past many years she was feeling like a terrible person and this information made her feel like the worst person on earth.
She did not wipe her tears and started walking towards her room. She wanted to punish herself. That night she did not sleep and kept cursing herself.

"Wait!" Noor shouted when someone kept ringing the doorbell continuously.
She had a frown on her face and she was all read to start shouting. She was making her favourite Maggie and someone started ringing the bell. She was already upset about being disturbed and that person kept on irritating her.
"Baba!" Noor said after opening the door.
"Salam darling."
"What was that?"
"Fun."
He handed Noor a bag and started walking inside. Noor closed the door before opening the bag. She smiled and soon started following him.
"Where is Zeeshan?"
"Look at the time Baba. He is at work. where else?"
"That boring person only knows how to work."
"There is nothing more true than this."
"Where is his mom?"
"In her room."
"Ok. Can you do me a favour?"
"Yes!"
"I'm hungry."
"Say no more!"
Noor stood up and went to the kitchen. Mehmood waited for her to leave and then stood up. He slowly started walking. From past many days he was trying to say something to Naaz but he was afraid that she might reject his offer.
"Come." Naaz said.
Mehmood came inside and then closed the door behind. Naaz looked up and frowned.
"Don't you have a flight to catch?" Naaz asked.
"I missed it."
Naaz frowned deeper,"why?"
"For you."
Naaz frowned even more deeper,"what? Really?"
"No. What do you think I'm? Eighteen?"
Naaz smiled before shaking her head,"Then?"
"It's in five hours."
"Oh." She slowly looked up,"what brings you here?"
"You."
Naaz smiled again,"stop playing and tell the truth."
"I'm serious. I have booked two tickets."
The look on his face showed how serious he was this time. He came and sat next to Naaz.
"I wanted to tell you something from a long time but I didn't know how you would react."
"Since when did you think about my reaction?" Naaz asked.
"Since the time things starts falling apart."
She immediately looked down, feeling ashamed of herself. Mehmood understood she was not feeling well hearing that so he took her hand in his.
"Come with me."
"Where?"
"Home."
"What do you mean?"
"Where your family is. Where you grew up. I work in the same city remember."
"You want me to move in with you?"
"Yes."
"Why?" She finally looked up.
"What why?
"What are you doing with your life? Why did you waste it behind me. You should have married Someone else. Maybe then it would have been a happy life for you."
"What would have happened if I would have got married again? You and Zeeshan would still be a part of me. And when I know you both are in pain how was it possible for me to stay happy?"
"Then you should have forced me to live with you. Or you should have divorced me."
"That was a good idea. You should have given that idea before."Naaz looked up at him and frowned. He smiled,"do you think it was easy to force you to do anything then? Do you think it's easy now? Forcing you for anything will never work. Because you are a very stubborn person and about divorcing you. I never thought about it. Zeeshan was a mess already and our divorce would have brought more problems for him. And also " Mehmood paused for a second,"I always thought you would come back sooner or later but the thing I never thought was that you would take fifteen years."
"I'm sorry."
"It's ok. Now can we start again. Is it possible to forget everything?'
"For me yes. For you?"
"You know my memory is really bad and now I'm an old ox so you think I remember anything besides your name?"
Naaz chuckled,"You are mad."
"Is it a yes?"
Naaz looked in his eyes,"Yes."
