Aabia's POV.
Sadness covered the house as every eye was wet and hearts were sad because our life was looking so empty without our dadu.

I was looking around the house,the place where I could imagine my Dad coming, smiling, talking laughing, eating and all. All the moments were running in front of me. I couldn't help but to cry with every word he said to me, with every memory he gave us.

"Aabia api." I looked up and saw Mahnoor standing.

"You okay?" She asked while sitting next to me on couch and I nodded.

"I was wondering that this living room seems so empty without Dadu. Without him our twins also got sad." Saying,I looked at Shazam and Sameer who were seated silently on the carpeted floor but I could see the search their eyes had. The search for their Dadu.

"I know what you're feeling. We all are feeling the same." Mahnoor said and I nodded.

"I wish I could bring him back." She said with tears.

"I wish the same." I said and we silently cried on losing our Dadu.

"Is Aarham bhai home?" She asked wiping my tears and I shook my head in negative.

"He's making us more worried. He didn't cry nor he said something. He didn't share his pain. I'm scared for him." I said what I was feeling.

"Don't worry his companion will not leave him alone." Mahnoor said pointing toward Mehak bhabhi who was looking so pale and tensed.

"I know she won't leave him alone." I said and smiled.

"I'll be leaving now. Take care." Hugging me,she said and I nodded.

"Shaz please go and drop her at home." I said to Shazam who nodded without anything else.

Again my eyes start roaming around and I got restless. Standing up,I walked to Mom's room. Knocking,I pushed the door and looked at mom who was reciting Quran pak.

"Mom." Calling,I moved closer and she closed the Holy book and looked at me.

"I'm going out for sometime. I'll be back soon." I said and she gave a nod.

"Aabia." As I turned, mom called and I turned to her again.

"Don't be late okay. Keep your mobile with you." Mom said and I nodded.

Going put of mom's room,I walked up to my room and took my car keys along with my clutch and mobile. Wrapping my stroller around my neck,I took my jacket and walked out.

Going directly to my car,I drove it out of the house toward the beach because I was feeling suffocated. I wanted to breath in fresh air. Far from this busy world. Stopping the car,I stepped out of it and took a deep breath while closing my eyes.

"Why its so painful ya Allah!?" Asking, I keep standing there feeling cool air touching me.

After few minutes,I locked my car and took steps ahead toward the water. Going toward the water,I was just lost in my thoughts feeling the cold air touching me,relaxing my tired nerves.

"You okay?" Startling on the voice,I turned my head to right side and saw that unbearable person shahmir was standing.

"I'm fine." Saying,I moved ahead while he joined my steps.

"I'm sorry on your Dadu's death." His words again brought tears to my eyes which I didn't stop.

"I wish I could bring him back."  I said moving my feet in the rushing water.

"You've to be strong. And I know you are very strong." He said but I didn't turn to him.

"I'm not strong." I said after a while.

"You're. I know." He said but this time I didn't say anything.

I was not in mood of talking to him. Staying silently there,I keep looking at the sun while feeling the water. But I was feeling his gaze as well which was not moving from me. Wiping my tears,I turned to him.

"I'll be going now." Saying,I walked from there leaving him and thankfully he didn't stop me.

Shahmir's POV.

I was standing there,looking at her back who was going from there. My heart hurt when I saw her tears. I never wanted to see her like this. She was always strong but today I found her weak. Maybe this was the grief was losing her Dadu.

Sighing,I walked back to my car and get in to drove back.

"You were following me? Right?" I turned on the voice and saw my hallucination was there in front of me again eating ice cream.

"Not again. Will you leave me alone?" I asked looking at her who was looking beautiful in white dress in which I saw her today.

"Until you accept that you love me." I heard her and I huffed while starting the car.

"Why even I'm talking to you?" Saying, I drove back to home but I was feeling her seated there next to me.

Avoiding her,I stopped the car in the porch and ran to my room to hide from ghost who was not leaving me alone.

"Think as much as you want but I really am in your heart Mr shahmir." I jumped on the voice and turned to see.

There on my bed she was seated with a smile,still that ice cream bowl in her hand.

"Stop following me." I said and got up.

"Not possible." She replied and I held my head in my hands.

"I'm going crazy. Why I can see her everywhere? Why your tears hurt me?" I asked to myself.

"Shah what happened?" I looked up on the voice of Badi Maa.

"Nothing." I said and held her hand.

Making her sit,I placed my head in her lap. But my mind was roaming around her who was making me crazy with every passing second.

"What happened? You look tense!" Badi Maa asked while running her fingers in my hair.

"It..its just that..I feel bad." I said as my own eyes start getting wet.

"Why?" She asked and I couldn't stop the tears running from my eyes.

"What happened shah?" As she saw my tears, she asked worried.

"Nothing it just hurt Badi Maa. Why can't I see her tears?" Thinking about her,I said and let my tears to flow down on my cheeks.

"Who? Who's she?" She asked and I looked at her who was seated in front of me in purple frock enjoying ice cream.

"That one." Pointing toward the chair where she was seated, I said.

"Where? I can't see anyone!." Badi Maa said and I smiled.

"I know because only I can see her. Why I can see her everywhere?" I asked and looked at Badi Maa.

"I want to escape from her thought. I don't want to think about her. I don't want to see her but still my heart wants to see her. It hurts when she cries. When she rejects me. When she look at me with hate. I don't know what's happening!" Getting up,I said and didn't stop my tears.

"Shhh...calm down. Just calm down." Holding my arm,she consoled me.

"What is happening to me!" Hugging my Badi Maa,I cried my heart out as I was not understanding my own feelings.

Third person's POV.
The days were passing. Sadness was still in the Jahan mansion. Aabia was noticing her brother's condition who lost his smile. Aarham was doing all the time work and was hardly found in home which was making them all worried. Aabia could see the worries of Mehak for Aarham which was making her cry silently and secretly.

"Mom." Calling Zeeniya, she went closer to her.

Taking seat next to her mother who was already worried for Aarham turned to Aabia.

"Is bhai okay? Is he late again?" She asked concern for her brother.

"He's. I'm so worried for him." Said Zeeniya.

"Is there anything we can do? Its been one and a half month but he's not opening his heart but hiding his tears and pain from us all. Its not good for him and more of it, he engrossed himself so much in his work that we hardly see him." Aabia said worried.

"I know. I'll talk to your dad about this. You don't worry. Take care of yourself." Kissing her forehead,Zeeniya said and walked to her room

Aabia was seated silently thinking about her brother when she saw Mehak coming down from the stairs with pale face. She could see how disturb she was.

"Ya Allah bless our lives with happiness." She prayed silently and walked to her room.

2 months later.

Aabia's POV.
"How's he now doctor?" Asked dad as the doctor checked Aarham bhai.

"He'll be fine Inshah Allah. Its something on his mind bothering him other wise there's nothing to worry. I'll give him injection and he'll be fine till morning." Said doctor and we all took a breath of relieve.

"Don't worry Mr Jahan. He'll be fine." Said Doctor and Dad went to see off him while we all keep seated there next to him.

We were next to our brother who was fighting against his hurt. I knew he was suffering from the pain of losing our Dadu. It had been two months but he was still the same. It felt we not only lost our Dadu but our brother too. My eyes were going wet looking at the face of my bhai.

"Come on now kids have rest and let him take rest. He'll be fine till morning." Said Dadi Sahib looking at us.

"I want to be with bhai." Said Sameer holding Aarham bhai's hand.

"Let him rest beta. Doctor said he'll be fine." Said Dad as he stepped in the room and went closer to sameer who was looking so worried for his brother.

"Bhai will be okay?" Roshaane asked and I hardly held my tears back while Dad nodded with a smile to assure us.

"He'll be fine Roshaane. Don't worry. Our bhai is a tough guy." I said and went closer to them all who were looking do worried for bhai but I had to be strong for them.

"Come on. Now go and have some rest. His fever is going down now." I said while touching forehead of Aarham bhai which brought a smile on their face.

"Kids go to your rooms now. Your brother is okay now." Said mom and they nodded making me smile.

Kissing Aarham bhai's  hands,forehead, we all walked out of the room leaving. I turned to see bhabhi standing in a corner but her tears were telling the story if her heart. I smiled knowing that how much she was concerned for bhai. Leaving her with bhai,I stepped out and closed the door.

All the night passed praying for my bhai's life. His happiness and smiles. I was so worried for him. He was always ready to bring a smile on our faces,to fulfill our wishes and now he was laying unconscious. It was making me so restless. I just wanted to see him smiling like old times.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Two days passed and we were worried for him. But Mehak bhabhi told us that he was fine and I was on much relieved. We were waiting for him to get up. Early morning Roshaane prepared breakfast for bhai and I was just smiling on her love for bhai.

"When bhai will wake up?" Roshaane asked innocently.

"He's sleeping. He'll eat the breakfast you made once he get up then." I said and she nodded with a smile.

I looked at bhai who opened his eyes and his lips stretched into a smile as he saw us seated in front of him with a beautiful smiled on our lips.

"Good morning bhai." We Said all in union and he smiled more looking at us.

I was controlling my tears when I saw him smiling. After so long time,I saw him smiling. The real smile which was touching his lips. I was thanking my Allah(SWT) for my brother's smile in my heart.

"Good morning. How are you all?" He asked while sitting up and looked at us all.

"We are fine. How are you? You scared us." Said Sameer moving closer to him and held his arm which made us all smile on his love.

"I'm fine Sam." Said Aarham while ruffling his hair.

"Don't scared us more. We want our brother back." Said Sameer looking up in his eyes and we all nodded.

"We love you so much bhai. Don't go far from us." Said Shazam going closer to him and sat near his feet.

"Yes I want my bhai back who looks more handsome when he smiles." I said moving closer and sat near his feet on left side of bed.

"I want my bhai back who listened to my complains and help me in everything." Said Roshaane and sat in front of him while placing her head on his shoulder.

"We love you bhai." We Said all in union and he smiled with tears in his tears.

"Your bhai loves you too. There's nothing in my life than you all. I'm living for my all beloved relations." He said and Roshaane moved back and looked at bhai.

"So what my Guriya made for me in breakfast?" He asked like he knew which made her smile and I smiled too.

"Your favorite omelette with French toast and your favorite mango juice." She said happily which made him more smile looking at her happy face.
.

"Okay. Let me freshen up and then we'll have our breakfast together." He said and and we all got up from our places.

His eyes moved in the room to find her. I could see the search in his eyes which made me smile more. I could see how restless he was feeling. Hus eyes were roaming to find his Mehak.

"My crazy bhai." I thought and smoked more.

"Where is your bhabhi?" He finally asked looking around and tuned his head toward balcony.

"She's helping mom in breakfast. I call her." I said which brought a relieve on his face and he nodded.

"Send her please." He got restless.

"Don't worry bhai. She's here. I'm sending her." I said while sending all out but didn't forget to turned to see him who got up and walked around to check wardrobe.

Smilingly, I walked out and saw Bhabhi coming. Holding her,I hugged her.

"What happened?" She asked and I smiled happily as my bhai was okay.

"Go your Aarham is calling you." I said and she nodded while I walked to breakfast table with a smile.

★★~~★★~~★★~~★★

We all were gathered on dinning table. After so many days we all were together,going to have our dinner because our bhai was with us. Our Aarham bhai was with us. He came home early today. I could see the happiness of my parents faces. I was witnessing the smiles of my siblings and Dadi Sahib and my bhabhi. I was praying for their happiness to last forever.

We started our dinner but Aarham stopped and I looked at him who's eyes wee getting wet.

"I wish Dadu could be here." Our hands stopped on Aarham's words and we all looked at him who's eyes filled up with tears.

"He's in our heart. Every second he's with us Son." Dad said while he nodded wiping his tears.

"Still I miss him." He said and took the glass of water and I looked down to hide my tears as I missed him too.

"We all miss him Aarham." Said Dadi Sahib and I nodded my head in agreement.

"I know." He said and tried to smile.

"Anyway I decided something." He said looking up at his parents and I looked at him to know.

"As Dadu wanted Aabia and Shams's marriage and he also fixed the date,so I don't want to delay it anymore. What you said Dad?" He asked looking at Dad who got shock like me.

I was shocked on what he said. My marriage all of sudden!?

"It was my Dadu's last wish to see Aabia settle down in her life. So I just want it to be done as soon as possible." He said looking at me but I was still shocked and then my eyes moved to Dad to hear what he had to say on Aarham's decision.

"I'll call Waqas bhai to come for the arrangements as its only 10 days left for the marriage." Dad's words gave me more shock while I could see everyone's lips stretched into smile.

"Our sister is getting married." Sameer and Shazam jumped with happiness while I looked at them not believing anything. All was done. So soon. My eyes welled up on my wedding's decision.

"Aabia what happened?" Aarham bhai asked worried but I only could shook my head while getting up from my chair.

"Nothing." Going to Aarham, I hugged him with a smile.

"I'm happy to have my brother back." I said with silent tears flowing down. I was happy to have my brother back who was smiling,taking decision like always.

We hugged each other and I was just smiling looking at the naughtiness of my siblings. Smilingly, I walked up to my room leaving them laughing and smiling.

Shams's POV.
Spending the weekend, I went home to meet mom and Dad. Days were so restless. After losing Dadu,life become so dull and sadness filled life's surroundings. I just wanted some change from my job so I went to home to meet everyone.

"How you came?" As I entered the house,Aarib bhai welcomed and I hugged him with a smile.

"Just to give you all surprise." I said moving with him inside.

"Assalam-o-Alikum." I greeted everyone who smiled as get saw me and I was right. They got surprised on my arrival.

"Walikumusalm. How are you son?" Hugging Dad,he asked and I just smiled on his love.

"I'm fine Dad. Where's mom? And how's my sister?" I asked Zara who came to hug me.

"I'm fine. How are you bhai?" She asked and I took seat with Tayya g.

"How are you buddy? You forgot me?" Hammad Tayya g said and I hugged him with a smile.

"Is it possible!" I said and we both laughed.

"Shams." Mom shouted as she saw and we all covered our ears on her over acting.

"Mom slowly please." I said going closer to her and hugged her.

"When you came? And how? Why?" All her question started while I smiled looking at Aarib bhai, Dad and Tayya g.

"I'm thirsty. Mom water please." To escape from her questions, I said and she nodded and I sat next to Aarib bhai.

"Shams.." We all looked up at Zarnish who was standing in front of us catching her breath,while her eyes were on me.

I felt strange on the way she was looking at me. Her ragged breaths,red eyes and beating heart, sending some msg to me which was disturbing me.

"What happened Zarnish? You okay?" Her brother Aarib asked and I looked away.

"Nothing bhai. I just was finding my mobile." She said and walked back and I shrugged my shoulders.

All the day passed me and Aarib bhai playing games and I really enjoyed his company after so many days.

"So when you're going back?" I asked him.

"Just this week then I'll fly back to my Istanbul." He said and I chuckled.

"Your Istanbul! Right. So where's your princess? You'll go without her this time again?" I asked and he nodded.

"Don't think so because Zee Maa and taayi g were planning to tie you with someone." I said and his eyes widened.

"Who?" He asked shocked.

"Don't know." I said and got up while he followed me to know the answer.

"Complete the talk what you were saying." Bhai said running after me and I laughed on his curiosity.

"Not now." I said and went to the dining table where all elders were waiting for us to join them on dinner.

But before we found start waiting,Dad received a call and he just said,yes,okay. Which made us curious that what he was talking about. And who was the caller.

"Dad is everything okay?" I asked as hu cut the call.

"Pack your luggage everyone." Dad said and we all looked at him shocked.

"We're going to Karachi for our Shams wedding." Dad blasted the bomb and I looked at him unbelievably.

"What?" I was shocked of happiness.

"Yes. Jahan called and asked us to join them in shopping of wedding as Aarham and Jahan decided to not to delay the wedding as it was Dad's wish to see Shams getting married." Dad said and I smiled that finally I was going to have my Aabia. The girl I was crazy for.

"Stop smiling so much or your face will hurt." I rolled my eyes at Aarib bhai who chuckled looking at me.

"Okay in coming two days,we'll depart for Karachi. Get ready everyone." Dad said and we all smiled.

I was just getting g so much happy. I wanted to talk to Aabia soon. I wanted to hear her voice. As the dinner was finished,I went to my room and took my mobile and went out in the balcony. Dialing her number,I was just smiling jut then cut the call.

"What will I say?" I thought and looked around to think something.

"What should I say? She must be shying now." I thought and smiled on my thoughts while dialing her number again but my eyes went to someone and I once again cut the call.

Zarnish was seated in the lawn while her face was drenched in tears and she was lost in some thoughts. I was amazed on this girl who never leave any moment for crying. I didn't know what was the reason that she cried. Turning back on my feet,I walked out of my room and walked out to lawn to see her who was crying like crazily.

But stopped just few steps far from her. Her silent tears were rushing down her cheeks and I felt something happening in my heart. I kept standing there and kept looking at her who was seated like a statue there. I don't know for how long but I kept  standing there witnessing her tears.

"Why she cries so much?" I asked myself and touched my eyes which were getting wet.

"Why I'm crying?" I thought and wiped my tears.

"Why your pain and tears are making me cry Zarnish?" I asked looking at her but then looking away from her face,I turned and moved inside.

"She's just crazy. I have to talk to Aabia." Roughly cleaning my eyes,I climbed the stairs to reach my room and somewhere tried to escape from Zarnish thoughts.
