Chapter 7:
Zain sat there next to Aliya for the whole night expecting her to wake up and start their kit-kit but unfortunately that didn't happen.
He started to mumble under his breath.
Zain: Cheater, she went to sleep without having the kit-kit with me, she knows that I cant sleep without the kit-kit, but still why would she care? She is to busy sleeping and ordering me around. Don't know what is going to happen to me when she will ne returning home.
As soon as Zain said "returning", the doctor entered. Looking at his patient, he sighed as if something had to happen behind Aliya's sudden accident, but didn't know what. Zain was looking at each action that the doctor was taking before starting to talk in a worried way.
Zain: Doctor, is there anything wrong with Aliya or the child?
Doctor: No there is nothing wrong with them, but there is something fishy about the way Aliya's accident happened.
Zain: Meaning?
Doctor: I meant to say that went I was doing the operation, I noticed Aliya's sandals that the nurses took off for her had oil on them. They were very oiled which could have led her to loose balance on the stairs.
Zain: What??? You mean that someone put oil on Aliya's sandals so that she can fall and have a fatal accident?
Doctor: Yes, but I am not saying that your family members did it, because the concern that everyone showed specially Mrs Usman Abdullah. She seemed so nice and caring but I was shocked to see one person's reaction to this accident.
Zain: Who is that person?
Doctor: It was a young lady, she was wearing a pink short kurta and a white long skirt, she had her hair out and she wears quite a lot of make up, and her name starts with a B...
Zain suddenly thought that it was Barkat because she was wearing all the things that the doctor had said, but he didn't want to believe in him. He would never think that his sister would do anything to Aliya.
Zain: Is it Barkat?
Doctor: Yes... that's her name...she was sitting there and playing on her phone, she didn't look concerned, then suddenly she got a call and said "I did it" , first I thought that maybe it was another thing but then when your mother called her, she said she had an important appointment and she left smiling.
Zain: But... I don't think she would do anything like that.
Doctor: I am not saying that she did it, I am just saying that I think you should keep an eye on her, it can always be her!
With this, the doctor left the room leaving Zain confused, he never imagined his sister would do that. But... No one ever knows what might happen and what might not.
It was early morning. Zain woke up with a really bad night mare, he quickly checked on Aliya and his laddu (his daughter).
They were both alright, but what was wrong then? Why did have that weird and scary night mare.
Soon after him, Aliya woke up feeling someone holding her even though she was safe, she saw his worried face.
Aliya: WOW...my kit-kit is worried for the 1st time.
Zain: Your kit-kit??? Now I am not your kit-kit anymore, I am my princess kit-kit.
Aliya: Oh...so now you are going to teach her how to kit-kit as well??
Zain: Yes...maybe...
Zain forgot all his worries, he became the old Zain again, free from any kind of worry and if he had any then he would gift them to Aliya but this problem or more like mystery is not going to Aliya because she had enough to worry about now, he thought.
Soon the nurse entered the room, gave Aliya some pain killers and gave the baby, her first injection. Like every baby, she didn't cry while the nurse was giving the injection, she started to laugh showing her toothless gum.
Aliya: Aree... why are laughing my princess? Doesn't it hurt?
Zain: Why would it hurt? It tickles.
Aliya: Zain look after her, I am coming back.
Zain: Where are you going?
Aliya: I am going to get changed.
Zain: OK.
After Aliya left, Zain went next to their new born baby, he couldn't imagine that one day he will have a kid, he will look after her, make her eat, bath, sleep...he was so happy! He wanted to thanks Aliya for the best gift ever, but didn't know how. Zain started to get bored, he started to talk to his precious daughter.
Zain: Hello... what should I call? Princess or Cutie... I think I will call you Princess, I know your ammi already decided to call you that but you know how I am, I do not listen to anyone except my little Princess.
The little started to laugh, Zain was amused by this sudden emotion, he started to feel a feeling building inside him. He thought that being a father of a child is the worst thing in the world but today his misconception made him red, he was ashamed of himself, he thought that having a child would be the last thing he would have in life but today, that is the 1st thing he had in life.
Al that time Aliya was looking at Zain and her new born baby, she was still weak and needed help but didn't want to disturb the father and daughter conversation.
Aliya finally decided to walk in the room, Zain saw her and was mesmerized by her beauty as usual, by then the whole family came to take Aliya back home except Barkat and that didn't miss Zain's eyes.
Usman: WOW... Zain miah, you are taking good care of your wife and daughter.
Surraya: Usman sahib stop teasing him, now he is not just a husband but also a father.
Zain: Mom, let him... I don't care anymore simply because I will be too busy taking care of my princess.
Fahad: So, Zain who is you princess? Aliya or the little laddu?
Aliya was burning bright red, she was embarrassed by the sudden words that Fahad had said and also by Zain's answer.
Zain: Bhai??? What would you do if I say Aliya? And what would you do if I say the little laddu?
Fahad: Nothing special...
Zain: Bhai??? You never called Nafisah or Shazia bhabi princess did you??? You are so unromantic yaar...
Fahad: Come Zain... not I am the one who is supposed to tease you...
Zain: By the way mom where is Barkat?
Surraya: Barkat is at home. She didn't want to come saying that she doesn't like very crowed places.
Zain got confused, he always thought that Barkat really liked her bhabi, but what happened today? She was always there for Aliya and plus Aliya was one to save Barkat, but Zain suddenly started to doubt Barkat, but he couldn't make a conclusion without any evidence and for that he need Aliya's help, no... he cant take Aliya's help otherwise Aliya will get shocked and hurt.
Precap: Zain and the whole family coming home and having a shocked face when they faced Barkat, Zain telling the family about Barkat.
