اک دم سے میری آنکھ کا نظارہ بدل گیا
جب وہ ٹیھک ہو کہ دوبارہ بدل گیا
باتیں بدل گئ، وہ لہجہ بدل گیا
آہستہ آہستہ وہ پھر سارا بدل گیا

Suddenly the view of my eye changed
When he dramatically changed again
Things changed, that tone changed
Gradually, he totally changed

*****

Hania always likes to scribble poetry on the dairy in the past, so when Minhaaj gave her the dairy in the morning after breakfast she hesitated to take it because deep down she doesn't want her old self to hit her like nostalgia.

But there is a saying "Old habits never die easily". So here she was sitting and writing the words that walking around in her head for so many years.

While writing this there was no specific person in her mind that's what she want to thought but her whole body scream that it's for that person only.

The person who lived in her heart for years. The person whom she taught how to write poetry. The person who left her without saying goodbye.

She put her pen down and glanced out of the window. The weather was chilly. The perfect time for her to give herself torture for being born.

Hania stood up and ambulated towards the balcony. She hugged herself and took a deep breath.

Today was her 15th day in this new house. Everything was like the old house that they use to live in happily but many people had left her now. And the word HAPPY was removed from her life. She started remembering her past. Her always not playing fair with her Baba. Always cheat in Ludo to make Minu happy. Teasing her cousins, always the one planning for trips, everyone respecting her, and all her relatives gives the example of her to their child "To become like Hania". Her Baba proud face on listening to those compliments by their relatives for Hania, her mother gets sulky because she didn't take rest from her job. Her Dadi Jaan kissing her forehead and giving her all the blessings.

Everything was flashing in front of her eyes like a movie scene. But the reality was bitter. In movies, the shooting ends, and everything will be back to normal but in real life, nothing could go back. You have to bear it for life.

To disturb the train of her thoughts her phone started to scream to pick it up. She walked inside and looked at her phone screen with creases on her forehead.

Landline number! She mumbled to herself. She picked it anyway because her best friend Fatima always calls her from a landline.

Hania does save her old landline number but Fatima recently changed her hospital so she thought maybe she was calling her.

Hello Fatima! Hania asked but she heard someone clearing his throat.

Hello!! Fatima! You there? Hania asked again but the other person declined the call.

Hania looked at her phone screen with weird expressions.

She brushed off all her thoughts and went down to the kitchen to make something for herself as she didn't eat her breakfast this morning. The main reason was Dadi Jaan. She didn't want to face her.

Hania stepped into the kitchen and started making an omelet for herself. Just in 5 minutes she made her breakfast, eat it, and washed all the dishes that she used while cooking it.

She was going upstairs when she heard something fall in Dadi Jaan's room.

Her heartfelt like someone just threw it out of the window.

She ran towards her room and saw her beloved Dadi Jaan collapsed on the floor.

Dado! (grandma) She shouted.

Dado, please wake up. She put her head on her lap and tried to wake her up. When she didn't respond Hani checked her pulse. It was running so slow.

Hania started crying loud.

Please don't leave me alone as Baba and Mom did. Dado, please wake up. Your Hania can't live without you. Please Dado wake up. She was spewing out this in a panic state.

Since her childhood, Hania always shares her secrets with her Dadi Jaan as she gave her the best solutions to her problem. Even if her all heart was filled with hatred for her Dadi Jaan now but one Lil part of her heart just betrayed her.

A lone tear escaped from her eyes and fell on Dadi Jaan's cheek.

She sprinkled some water on her face but all in vain. She checked her pulse again but this time she couldn't feel anything.

Hania started to give her Dadi Jaan CPR. After working hard for 10 minutes the pulse was back.

She tried to call Minhaaj but he was not picking up. She called an ambulance because if she waits for Minhaaj for one more minute they could lose her Dado forever.

Hania's old hospital was near to this house so the ambulance took them there.

Right at that time saving her Dadi Jaan was her priority. She forgot everything and was praying to Allah to save her.

After her mother died in that's car accident she never prayed for anyone but after all these years she prayed for the first time for her Dado.

She told everything to the doctor.

"She collapsed around 2:20 and went into coma for 15 minutes. After doing CPR for 10 minutes I finally got her pulse back. The reason for her collapsing is still unknown." Hania said it so professionally that even the doctor was impressed. She didn't miss a single detail even though it was her relative.

The doctors examine Dadi Jaan for 3 4 hours and when the results were out the doctor came with not a pleasant smile.

You have to be brave to listen to this. The doctor asserted in a serious tone.

Just tell me, doctor. What is wrong with my Dado? Even though Hania asked bravely but deep down she was scared. She doesn't want to lose her.

Your patient heart is not working properly. She has a Lil hole in her heart which is making her weak day by day. Keep her away from stress as it's dangerous for her life. Right now I think we should keep her in check if we think that she isn't improving then we have to do the heart transplant surgery.

The doctor told her and she felt a pang in her heart. She knew that her Dadi Jaan never took great care of herself.

Hania glanced towards her Dado who was lying down on the bed and then looked towards the doctor.

Don't worry I won't let her go in the stress. She said it with a weary smile.

She will be discharged after this drip end. Please take her here every week for a check-up.

After the doctor left some memories hit her mind. Hania hallucinates that Hanan was coming from the front door and smiling towards her. She could see herself preparing material for their session and giving back her shy smile. Everything was going perfectly till she saw that guy whom she wish never met.

Fear started crawling up in her body. She felt like she was all alone. Hania looked around and visitors of some patients were walking around. Suddenly the fear came all over her body. She started trembling.

Hania ran towards the washroom area and locked herself in a washroom.

She called Minhaaj with quivering hands and this time he picked up the phone.

Minu! Please... come here fast.... and save me. Just one line was getting difficult for her to spew out.

Minhaaj declined the call and in 10 minutes he was at the hospital. The day he bought Hania a cell phone he downloaded a tracking app in it so that the thing that happened in the past won't repeat.

Minhaaj knew where to find her so he went to the lady's washroom first and get her out of it then he took her back to the emergency room where Dadi Jaan was sleeping soundly.

Hani Api I am here with you. Stop thinking too much. Minhaaj embraced her cold and sweating hands in his manly grip and asserted it with a smile.

Seeing his big build body Hania felt relieved. Because she knew in this whole world only Minhaaj could save her from any danger.

Later when Dadi Jaan woke up she was pleased and happy to know that Hania saved her. She thought that even if she was on her deathbed Hania would never see her.

Dadi Jaan and Minhaaj both looked towards each other and smiled while she sat there as she didn't exist in that area.

After the drip was completed they were on the way to the car when Minhaaj bumped into someone or you could say someone deliberately bumped into him.

I'm sorry. I didn't see you coming. Minhaaj apologizes to that person whose fruit basket fell on the floor. He started picking them up.

No, it's alright I will pick it up on my own. You go ahead. I guess your Dadi Jaan condition is not good. She shouldn't stand. That guy said it politely.

Minhaaj glanced towards her sister's terrified face and then to her weak Dadi Jaan. He stood up and apologize again.

Don't be. The guy said humbly with his perfect smile.

I don't feel good leaving you here as this was my fault but as you see my Dadi Jaan's condition is not good so I will leave first.

The other guy just nodded and took a glance at Hania. Hania felt like her heart will come out. Because the guy standing in front of him looks so much like someone she knew in the past.

Minhaaj and Hania was going forward with Dadi Jaan when the driver of that person called out his name.

Shahreyar Sir! What happens to the fruit basket?

Nothing Lala let's just pick it up. It's bad to waste food so first let clean this up and wash them later. Shahreyar spewed out with a smile.

On the way to the house, Hania's mind was fighting with her memories.

"This can't be possible. It can't be him. You heard that driver calling him Shahreyar. He can't be Hanan." She was so frustrated that she forgot her surroundings and rested her head on the back of the seat and sighed heavily.

Minhaaj glanced at Hania in astonishment. This was the first time in 8 years she gave a sudden reaction which most likely she was bothered about something and wanted to stop thinking about it.

Minhaaj looked back at the road while suppressing his laugh.

"I thought if I bring her back home she would give reactions and I think my judgment was right". Thinking this in mind Minhaaj drives towards his house with a peaceful mind.

Back to the hospital

Shahreyar Sir, are you sure about this? You worked really hard to keep your identity hidden. Khan Lala asked Shahreyar one more time.

Don't worry Lala I know how to handle this bastard. Believe me, I won't let him die so easily. Resentment, bitterness, and hatred were dripping from his mouth.

Shahreyar stepped into the private room where a 40-year-old guy was lying down on the bed and was taking the breath of his last days.

Shahreyar sat on the stool and grabbed his hand brutally.

The guy shot his eyes up because of the immense pain he felt in his hand.

Shahreyar left his hand and looked at him with a smirk.

Tears started to build up in that person's eyes when Shahreyar spoke up.

No! No! No! Nadir why are you crying? It's not the time to cry. I haven't started anything yet. That evil smile was on his face.

He tried to say something but the oxygen mask was not letting him so Shahreyar took the mask off from his mouth.

You have 20 seconds to say or else you will die because of less oxygen. He asserted while staring at his wristwatch.

Please... Don't.... Kill... My.... Daughter.
I.. Am sorry. The tears were cascading down to his cheeks.

Shahreyar put the mask back and came near to his ear.

"Your daughter will feel the same pain that Hania went through. I will sell her to the red light area and will get the money from there for 10 years at least. Do you know why I said 10 years? Because she will die after hearing that her father sell her there because of money. But do you know when these things happened? When you die. So for your precious daughter's sake don't die soon." He said it with a straight face and walked out of the room.

Shahreyar was trying to be calm but the time he stepped out of the room he felt like he couldn't breathe anymore.

That painful memory was back. Khan Lala rushed behind him and handed him the water bottle. Shahreyar gulped it in one shot.

After he becomes normal Khan Lala spoke up.

Will you do that to his daughter? He asked straightforwardly.

What do you think Khan Lala? Shahreyar asked back.

I think I know the answer.
Both smiled and walked towards the car.

Shahreyar Sir, should we head towards our new house?

Yes Khan Lala. I can't stay away from her anymore.
