The continuous tears rushed down from his eyes, leaving the world in a vague picture of despair. The horrid memories and flashbacks filled the hospital, as the fear of something greivous clung to him. He paced nervously. The nurses who walked by could see his pain. It was evident. Absolutely evident.
One thought continued to occupy his mind. It stabbed his heart, again and again. The memories of what he had done, what he had said. The memory that showcased why he was here today. It echoed in his mind, a thousand times. The voices pierced his ears, the words scarred him. But the worst fact of all, it had all been his fault.
Flashback-
"Aahil, I know it sounds fake, but you have to believe me.", she cried.
"How can you say all these things Sanam? You may be my wife, but that doesn't give you any right to talk against my Ammi!", he shouted back.
"I know that, but you need to listen. She's a murderer! She killed my parents. She even killed your father! I know it's hard to believe, but it's all true. She's even using you right now for your property. She wa-".
"Enough!, That's enough Sanam. I don't care what you say. I know my Ammi. She would never do that. She could never take someone's life. Sanam, if you ever speak that way about her again, they'll be consequences. And remember this, no one speaks against my Ammi. Otherwise, they'll be hell to pay", he roared back.
Flashback ends-
It kills him to think that if he had just listened to her, just once, she wouldn't be in this situation right now.
Sanam was his everything. He couldn't loose her. Not now, not ever. She had to be okay. She would be okay. He would never let anything happen to her.
His hands fisted at just the thought of his malevolent step mother. How she had killed his father, Sanam's parents,
And today, almost Sanam.
Flashback-
The sky turned grey as the rain drops showered into the dense earth. Almost as if the sky was crying with him. Horror struck his eyes and he felt his whole body paralyze as he watched the scene take place in front of him.
Tanveers's gun was pointing at her. At his beloved. At his everything. He couldn't do anything. The smallest movement from him could cause her to shoot at the most precious thing he had.
"I should've done this a long time ago, Sanam. No one can save you now. No one tries to ruin Tanveer. Goodbye, Sanam", she spoke coldly.
The terrifying gun shot let Aahil's heart stop beating.
"NOOO!".
Flashback ends-
The sound of footsteps interrupted his thoughts, and when he found out who it was, he immediately bombarded her with questions.
"Doc-Doctor, how is she? How's Sanam? Where is she? How did the-?".
"Relax Mr.Ibrahim. Your wife is fine. The operation went successful. She's still unconscious, but you can see her. We'll know more once the results get back, okay?".
He was already running to the door. He cautiously turned the handle, as he silently prayed a thank you that she was alright.
He walked in, finding her pale form lying still on the bed. Even with everything around her, she was still beautiful. The most valuable person to him was right in front of him.
He gently smiled as a tear cascaded down his face.
He walked up to her and stared at her before sitting down and gently taking her hand in his.
"I'm sorry Sanam. I know that this is my fault. I know I broke your heart, but I will fix it. Everything will be okay. I love you, so much".
He sat there for hours. Never letting her out of his sight.
He hadn't trusted her then, but he would now. Everything would change. She meant the world to him, and he would make it all up to her. Of course, he was crushed by his Ammi's intentions, but none of that mattered to him anymore. She was gone now, for good. He would never have to see that evil woman's face again.
He didn't need to. He would always have Sanam, and Sanam would have him. That was all he needed in his perfect world.
He gingerly moved up and tenderly kissed her forehead.
Today wasn't a day of loss and mortality.
It was a new chapter, for both Aahil and Sanam.
I hope it was good! Please excuse any mistakes, I'm typing with my phone and it's being a bit difficult. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed! 😊
