Chapter 3:
It was early morning in Mumbai, but as usual the Abdullah family always wake really early to finish their Fajr prayer.
Everyone in the house were walking about, some were in their room, getting ready, some were in the kitchen making the breakfast, some were in the gym, some were in the living room reading the news paper, some were enjoying the luxury that they got and some were sleeping soundlessly on their king size bed with their begum.
In the kitchen:
Surraya: ChandBibi where is Barkat?
ChandBibi: Surraya ma'am don't you think you should have asked about you other kids as well?
Surraya: Are you teaching me?
ChandBibi: No... leave it!
With this ChandBibi left the kitchen, she was sad, and she was sure that Barkat will make the Abdullah's life harder and harsher, but she didn't like thinking about it as it might come true.
In Zain and Aliya's room:
It was already 5am, Aliya always wakes up by then, but today she didn't, she was tired from all the scenes that happened yesterday. She was sleeping peacefully until she heard a husky tone speaking to her.
Zain: Aliya, aren't you going to wake up?
Aliya: Zain let me sleep! You talk too much!
Aliya was really sleepy so was Zain but he didn't show it, he held Aliya close to him, Aliya was not awake but could feel being pulled. She wasn't sure what was going on but she knew that she needed to hold onto something. She grabbed Zain's top and left her arm go across Zain's chest.
Zain: What the... I never understand this girls feeling, but... anyway need to get up now!
Aliya: Zain...stop moving...
Aliya could not finish her sentence; Zain pulled her on top of him. She was 1 inch away from him.
Aliya: Zain... what do you think you are doing? Let me go; everyone is waiting for me downstairs.
Zain: This is exactly what I was saying about 10 mins ago, Aliya leave everyone is waiting, but you weren't ready to listen, you were dreaming about our future kids.
Aliya: What non-sense???
ChandBibi: Aliya, Zain...
Zain and Aliya: (in chorus) yes Chand jaan
ChandBibi: Come down for breakfast.
Aliya got up, and nearly tripped over, but does anyone think she would ever touch the floor? I guess the answer is NO, 2 strong arms caught in a nick of time.
Zain: My begum, I think you should look before walking!
Aliya: Whatever... wait, you never let me touch the ground, I mean did you start to have some solid feelings for me? (Smirked at her winning point)
Zain didn't know what to say so just left to get ready.
10 MINUSTES LATER, IN THE HALL:
Everyone was taking their seats, Barkat was lost and didn't know where to seat, she saw a seat next to Zain empty, she went and sat down there. Zain was shocked, he wouldn't let anyone seat next to him unless it's his MKB; he disturb her breakfast underneath the table, he would kick her and do all sorts of thing but today none of that sort of thing is going to work as Aliya wasn't here. She dint even come down for breakfast.
Usman: Zain where is Aliya?
Zain: I dint know Dad, I saw her getting ready.
Surraya: Usman sahib, why don't you start your breakfast?
Usman: Surraya Begum... how is this possible, you know that I never have breakfast unless everyone is here.
Surraya: But...
Zain: Mom, I will go and check, wait...
Zain was getting worried, "Aliya never missed breakfast, she loved it, then", he thought. He run to his room, he knocked on the door, tried to open it, but the door wouldn't budge. Now he got even more worried.
Zain: Aliya, Aliya... open the door.
Zain: For god's sake... dad Aliya isn't opening the door.
Usman: Wait, we are coming, Fahad miah lets go...
Surraya: Usman sahib...
Usman: Surraya... if you want to have breakfast then carry on!
Barkat: Mon, I think dad is right, we should go and check on bhabi.
They all reached Zain's bedroom, no one was opening the door, Zain was worried, he didn't know what Aliya was doing behind these stupid doors, but why wasn't she responding to all the shouting.
Zain: Dad I know a way of getting inside the room.
Usman: How?
Zain: By climbing the pipes from the swimming pool area.
Usman: Then what are we waiting for? Zain...
By the time Usman asked everybody to follow Zain, he already left for the swimming pool area and started to climb the pipes.
Surraya: Zain beta, be careful...
Zain: I reached the balcony already can you stop worrying, come in front of the room.
Fahad: Okay, yaar jaldi kar na!
Zain went inside the room to find it empty, no one was there, Aliya was nowhere but her suit that she was going to wear was on the bed, her jewellery was on the dressing table, like she laid it last night. He checked everywhere but didn't check the bathroom, he went ahead but was scared that he might find her laying there. And that is exactly what he found, everyone was in the room shocked to find it empty.
Zain: Aliya...Aliya...Aliya!
Usman: What happened to Aliya?
Zain: Dad she is unconscious!
Zain picked her up, effortlessly as if he was picking a leaf up. He placed her on the bad carefully and dialled the doctors number.
Zain: Doctor, it's me Zain... can you please come over for about 10 minutes... OK! THANKS!
Usman: Is the doctor coming?
Zain: Yes...he is...can someone get a bowl of water?
Barkat: Yes, I will get it.
Zain: Thanks!
Zain was hurt, he never saw Aliya in this state, she was barely ill, he never thought that he would have to take of Aliya, she was always the one to take of everyone. But today, no one knew what was wrong with her, but he knew that nothing bad will happen to her.
5 minutes later:
Doctor: Nothing is wrong her! It happens to everyone, not men to ladies when...
Zain: when???
Usman: Doctor, I think we should leave now...
Doctor: No, wait, there is good news! You bahu is pregnant!
Abdullah family: Really???? Yes!
Arub, Sana and Saiyed: Yes, we will have a cousin!!! Thank you chachu!!!
Zain was confused, he was shocked but happy that finally his family was complete!
Usman: Zain beta congratulation, hope you have a happy family!
Barkat: (thinking) Now my mission will be harder!
Surraya: Zain, I am really happy for you, but now I want to have my breakfast!
Zain couldn't help but smile, Aliya was still unconscious, but Zain being a good took full care of Aliya. He was happy, for the first time in his life, he felt that Aliya was the right choice and that Aliya was his world and love... wait did he just say love, he isn't in love with her, or maybe he is...
Precap: Aliya waking up in the morning with a very harsh pain in her abdomen. Zain massaging her, which makes her fall asleep again! Barkat watching all that and getting annoyed!
