Amaan

I was on the call when I heard Ammi yelling quickly running upstairs towards my room I saw Ammi standing on the door she was blocking the sight of what made her yell moving forward I saw Laila on the floor her eyes closed running towards her body I bring her head keeping on my lap I checked her heartbeat nothing, I brought my hand on her wrist to check her nerves after a second I can feel it a slightly low beating of her heart. "Ammi she's going to be fine I'm taking her hospital," I said whilst picking her up in a bridal style I quickly ordered the driver to bring out the car in the driveway.

"Maan Bhai what happened to her?" Alaya asks frantically running towards me.
"I don't know I'm taking her to the hospital inform Abbu and Zain," I tell her hastily putting Laila in the back seat.

"Chale Sahir Bhai Jaan hospital le chalein jaldi," I said rubbing Laila's hand praying to Allah I cannot let him take her away from me, she's the only thing which is keeping me sane at this time. I'm trying to keep it together since Khala, Khaloo, and Danish's death I'm trying to find who did this but it is like finding a needle in a haystack that is not easy.

(Sahir brother take us to the hospital quickly)

She groans a little moving "Laila please keep your eyes open, try to keep them open you cannot leave me I won't have it" I murmur whilst reading every dua I know in the back of my mind she's everything to me I know in such a little time no one can grow affection or care for anyone but Laila is like that you cannot dislike her.
"Sahir Bhai Jaan Thoda jaldi please " I almost yelled at him, car comes to halt I look up perfect traffic has to be here today when I need to get her to the hospital Sahir Bhai Jaan was trying to make the way through the traffic by honking yelling at people but cannot help it.

(Sahir brother little faster, please )

"Kitna dur hai hospital," I ask him.
"Fifteen minutes or lagenge Abhi agar yeh traffic khatam ho jaaye jaldi," he says honking again.
I quickly open the door taking Laila in my arms I started to walk if I wait there I might lose her, people looking at me but I couldn't care less right now all I know I have to get her to the hospital, my phone ringing in the pocket my heart thumping loudly against my chest I was feeling as if someone is pricking needles in my whole body stomach turning into knots just at the mere thought of losing her.

(How far is the hospital?)

(Fifteen minutes more if this traffic moves faster)

Finally, I reached the hospital, ushering quickly inside looking for a doctor they admitted her, "what happened to her Mr. Bashir?" Dr. Sulaiman asks.
"I don't know I found her like this on the floor" I reply worriedly.
"Okay, don't worry wait outside while we examine her," he says leaving towards the room nurses took her.

I was pacing back and forth not able to rest my mind was a storm of emotions right now, confusion for how this happened, anger for no matter how many times I tell her to take care she doesn't listen to me, fear for if something happens to her, even the thought of it is giving me chills a lone tear slides down my cheek I have never cried but since Khaloo died in front of my eyes my fears are always lurking around the corner ready to take over.

"How is she Bhai?" Zain comes running towards me followed by Alaya, Ammi, and Abbu.
"I don't know they are examining her, " I said huffing in frustration what is taking so long for the doctor.
"Maan need not worry she'll be fine," Ammi says putting her hand on my shoulder, I couldn't help but hold her and warm tears starts to flow down my cheeks.

I was surprised by my behavior I didn't know a single person can make you so afraid of everything or make you feel things in such a way that you didn't know your heart was capable of having in the first place "everything will be alright, Laila is going to be fine have faith in Allah" Ammi says pulling away from me cupping my face, her eyes glistening with tears, which she was holding back.

We sat and waited for the doctor to come out of the room after hours which felt like a lifetime" she is fine just a reaction to her medicines, Mr. Bashir I would like to know what tablets she is taking" the doctor says, I let out a sigh of relief making dua for not taking her away from me.
I quickly took my phone out to show the doctor names of her medicines he frowns as he takes a look at it.

"I will change her medicines, this one painkiller had the side-effect which made her blackout, she is fine we will keep her under observation for now," Dr. Sulaiman says patting on my back and leaves.

"Allah ne Kuch nahi hone diya, " Ammi says sitting on the chair outside the room.
I walked towards the door there she was lying peacefully not knowing what storm she has brought in my life just in a few hours.

(God didn't let anything happen)

The doctor comes back "these are the medicines I have prescribed the new ones which might not have any reactions and yes she needs extra care I suggest you hire some nurse" he says handing out the paper.
"It's okay Doc thank you for your suggestions but I will take care of her" I reply, he nods at me and leaves. I cannot let some stranger take care of her what if that nurse is incapable of taking care and something happens I should look after her.

"Ammi, Abbu, Alaya, and Zain you too all go home I'll stay here with Laila," I said holding Ammi's hand they all look tired because we had Mehendi function plus it's the Haldi ceremony tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow it's Alaya's nikah there is still so much to do.
"But Bhai...I stop Zain midway " I will manage you take everyone home take rest then we will have so much to do tomorrow," I said more like ordered him.

"Mr. Bashir, Mr. Bashir" someone nudges me, opening my eyes I look at a nurse standing.
"I'm sorry I fall asleep what is it?" I ask her sitting back in normal posture in the chair.
"Your wife she's awake and wants to see you," she says with a small smile on her face. I quickly went inside Laila was sitting on the bed looking fine at the moment looking down at her hands.

"How are you feeling?" I ask her lowly, she looks up eyes filled with tears.

"What happened?" I ask sitting by her side.
"Nargis Baji wants to kill me, but why?" Her mouth leaves a sob and as soon as words slip out of her mouth I move away from her what is she saying, why Nargis Baji would do something like this she's been with our family for a very long time she practically took care of Alaya and Zain.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I heard her talking to some man, about money and my medicines just before I blacked out it felt like someone was choking me I'm not lying Amaan, why would I," she says her eyes getting red and her cheeks too as the tears start to stream down.

Yes Amaan why would she lie about it? My mind snaps back at me.

"How can you be so sure about it?" I question.
She unbelievably looks at me" you don't believe me" she scoffs wiping her tears.

"And here I thought out of all people at least you will believe," she says bitterly.

"There is no use of explaining to someone who doesn't believe me, please leave me alone I'm fine breathing and alive" she retorts back harshly.
"It's not about me believing Laila, it's about right and wrong how can you be so sure that she is the one giving you wrong medicines," I said.
"I'm not lying okay, and if you don't want to believe me fine maybe you will once I'm dead," she says bitterly, how can she have so much bitterness in her the Laila I thought I knew didn't have so much anger, and hate in her where is this coming from.

I look at her astonished" don't even dare to say that Laila, you don't know but your life matters to me, I might..." Allah ka shukriya jo tum uth gayi hum sab bhut pareshaan hogye the" Ammi's voice cuts me off, I realized what I was going to say.

(Thank God, you are awake, we all were worried)

What is happening to me? Why it is so important to see a smile on her face? Why her tears affect me so much? Why can't I see her in pain? What kind of pull is there which is making it hard for me to stay away from her? The thought of losing nearly made me lost my mind.

Am I falling in love with her?

No, that cannot happen it's not possible, I shook the thought pushing it at the back of my mind.

"Maan beta you go home, take bath then come you must be tired by sleeping on that thing," Ammi says pointing out at the chair.
"Ji Ammi I'll be back with food and her medicines," I said and start to leave.
"Amaan!" Laila calls out.
"Oh I forgot to inform your Abbu that I'm here I'll be back," Ammi says and leaves with a grin on her face.

"What is it do you need anything tell me I'm going home I'll get it," I said keeping my distance from her she is doing crazy things to my mind and my body too, I know I shouldn't think such stuff but I can not help it.
"Thank you for being there for me, and just bring me some chocolates and I'm fine," she says giggling I cannot help myself but smiling at this sweet girl who has made a very special place in my heart and planning to stay I guess.
"No need to be thanking me and as for Nargis Baji I will find out about it don't worry we will expose whosoever did this to us, " I tell her and for some reason, my mind keeps throwing random thoughts at me making it shut up I place a kiss on her forehead and left.

Laila

I was on the hospital bed when I woke up for a minute I was happy that I finally will be able to meet Ammi, Abba Jaan, and Danish Bhai but my destiny doesn't want that for me I wonder what it has for me, what yet has to come after the shocking revelation of Nargis Baji want to kill me how can she do this to me what have I ever done to her, why did she say she lost everything because of me my mind is filled with so many unanswered questions my mind would explode if I don't get any. I should tell about Nargis Baji to someone, maybe Amaan will help me but the first question he is going to shoot how can I be so sure.

Still, I don't care what he thinks I have to tell someone about it what if she tries to pull some stunt again at me maybe this time I will end up dead.

Just then nurse walks in she checks me "will you call someone from my family my brother or sister must be out there," I said sitting up.
"Oh actually your husband is been here the whole night," she says and I swear my heart did a flip, my stomach erupted with butterflies for a split second.

After a moment Amaan walks in he looked tired why would he go through so much discomfort it's not like he cares for me, oh come on even you know he cares for you just like you do my mind snapped back at me. No, no I'm not listening to you again you mess up with me and make me go crazy. I gave myself a pep talk.

My eyes fall on my Mehendi it was the darkest shade of red more like brownish, Ammi always uses to say when a Mehendi's color is the darkest shade it means your husband loves you so much. My heartbeat starts to beat erratically against my chest "how are you feeling?" Comes his deep voice.

I started to feel a sinking feeling all of a sudden as all the images of last night comes flashing in front of my eyes he sits beside me" what happened?"

After telling him everything even though I thought he would believe me, but still I did it anyway. He left but before that, he kissed me on the forehead, now why would he do that, why is he doing all this knocking on the door I want to keep locked so no one can ever hurt me or anything can hurt me I have let the emotions get the best of me but I won't have it anymore.

Khala was sitting there more like dozing off I don't know why is she here, she should be at home taking a rest or looking at preparations for Alaya's haldi I was about to wake her up but couldn't she looked so peaceful like that just then Amaan walks in with a bag in his hand I raise my brow at him "what is it?" I asked in a hushed tone.
"Your clothes, food, and chocolates" he replies in the same tone a smile makes its way on my lips.
"I don't want her to wake up," I said as he keeps the bag on the other chair.
He leans in planting a kiss on her forehead my heart gushes with happiness and swells looking at the sight of him being so caring and sweet.

The afternoon was spent in the room Khala left later to help Alaya getting ready but Amaan stayed back with me but this time we spoke nothing specific but we discussed our likes and dislikes, our perspective towards things is different but he understands it, he knows it's not easy to be a girl you don't get everything by just sitting and looking pretty some of us has to work hard for it. He even talked about his time abroad as time passed by I felt a little comfortable around him, I noticed how his eyes danced with happiness when he told me his passion for business how he always wanted to help Khaloo, and at that moment I found myself lost in his eyes for some reason Amaan was breaking the wall again and again which I'm trying to build around me he seems to leap over entering the gate of my heart.

"Will you please help me tie my hair back?" I ask struggling with hair which kept constantly annoy me.
He comes closer to me suddenly I felt my breath hitched at proximity between us he was hovering over me I turn so now my back was facing him he brings all my hair at the back while doing his fingertips grazes my skin on the neck I felt current coursing through my body and my stomach erupting with butterflies followed by a weird feeling in my chest I can hear my heart beating wildly against my chest at his touch.

He does my hair "your hairband?" He asks for it handing it over. He tied my hair his warm breath fanning on my neck giving me goosebumps.
"Thank you" I mumble a quick one looking at the perfect braid.

What is happening to me?

What are you doing to me Amaan?

Why I am feeling these emotions when you are around?

What is this?
