Dard-e-Dil

Many toys and many small clothes were spread all around the room, Nayla and Shehla both were happy because Raziya bring that toys and clothes for Her nephews who were going to come in the new world in upcoming week.

Yes.. nephews

"Ammi I'm telling you, Tehseen's son name will be Muneeb and Tameem's son name will be Umar... I have decided and now it's final. Alright na?" Razia said happily and Shehla looked at her in confusion

"Ask to your brothers, I dint have any problem, in fact I like these names." Mrs. Mirza said to her only daughter and she looked at Tameem and Tehseen. Tehseen nooded with a smile but Tameem just nodded as a formality, he still wasn't interested in his unborn or soon to be born child. His behaviour towards Shehla was just fine but he never think about his child, he didn't care if Shehla had to visit doctor or not or if she need anything like medicine or something else, his selfish behaviour was still there but shehla was thinking that passing time would change Tameem in better ways. In one year of marriage Shehla understood one thing that, Tameem and his behaviour both were weird. Sometimes Tameem use to shows that he cares for Shehla and sometimes He shows that she wasn't anything for him. Sometimes he took Shehla for shopping, movie or dinner but sometimes he ignored her like she didn't exists I'm front of him. Shehla was enough intelligent to understand everything and everyone around herself but her own husband was out of her understanding. She always try to predict Tameem's behaviour but every time she faced failure.

"Razia you have asked to Tameem and Tehseen about their choices but you should ask to Shehla and Nayla too" Kehkasha said and Razia smiled before nodding

"Shehla and Nayla do you have any problem with these names? And even if you have any problem then still I'll give the same names to my nephews" Razia said with great happiness and everyone laughed on her words and way of talking.

"Baji of its not nephew but niece then?" Shehla asked in slow voice.

"Mirza khandaan ki reet hai, Pehla bachcha hamesha ladka hi hota hai" Mrs Mirza feels proud while announcing the same.

===============

"What do you think will it be a girl or boy?" shehla asked to Tameem when they were in their room

"ofcourse it will be a son" Tameem said with a proud smile

"And what if it would be a girl not a boy" Shehla asked

"Don't utter non sense" Tameem shouted on her which made her tensed.

"I am seriously asking, what if its a girl not a boy" Shehla asked again

"Then I don't know? It will be a boy I don't have any doubt" Tameem said while glaring her before going out from the room.

"What the hell it is? Who owns such a cheap mentality now a days?" shehla mumbled angrily but she was more tensed than angry, she tolerate everything for herself but she didn't want to give any problem to her child which was coming in this world very soon

================

" Congratulations it's a baby boy" the news spread immense joy and happiness in Mirza family, everyone was so much happy except one...

No one else but Shehla....

When Shehla listened that Nayla had give birth to a baby boy she became more tensed because she had a feeling that her unborn child wasn't a boy but girl. And after five days her feelings were proved correct, Shehla and Tameem were blessed by a baby girl with fairy like beauty.

"Congratulations it's a baby girl" This small sentence worked as a bomb on Mrs Mirza. No one in mirza family had any problem with girls, even Shahid and Aaqil loved thier daughters more than their sons but the main problem was the false ego of Mirza family. Their unwritten law was broken by Shehla's daughter.

When Mrs. Mirza listened that a girl was born she didn't saw her and went back to her home from hospital without meeting Shehla and her newly born Grand-daughter. Sayra was unaffected, neither happy nor sad... Shahid, Aaqil and Tehseen were very happy but they didn't came to saw the baby girl because Mrs Mirza was disappointed

Kehkasha was also happy she went to hospital to meet shehla and kissed the baby girl's cheek and blessed her.

Nayla felt proud on herself and her five days old son after knowing that Shehla gave birth to a baby girl as if she had made her son by herself and Shehla made her daughter by herself.

Khan family was more than happy as they got a new little member in their family.

But the one who became father.... He wasn't happy. Its not like that Tameem didn't want a daughter! He didn't have any problem with a daughter, but he was listening the taunts of his mother that his wife break the tradition of Mirza Family, so he was feeling angry with Shehla and his own innocent daughter. Tameem's Taai Jaan (paternal aunt) was taunting on Mrs Mirza regarding the old wives' tale broken by Shehla.

Mrs. Mirza told Mrs. Khan to take Shehla with herself to take her care. Mrs. Mirza was taking care of Nayla by herself but she send Shehla to her maternal home to rest.

Shehla was shocked on the uncivilised behaviour of Old ladies of Mirza Family, she was living in her material home since the birth of her daughter, no-one came to meet her including Tameem. Mr. And Mrs. Khan were also surprised that Tameem wasn't visiting to meet his wife. But After one month or some more Tameem went to Khan's home to take back his wife and daughter and he was amazed to saw that his daughter was very beautiful, before that he didn't even glanced at her face.

Willingly or unwillingly a smile made its way to his lips when he lifted his daughter in his arms and kissed her cheek. Shehla felt happy and satisfied that Tameem was changing, she didn't shared her feelings with anyone. Mrs Khan hugged shehla with tearfilled eyes. She had idea what her daughter was facing after her marriage, Shehla never shared about Tameem's behaviour to anyone, she always showed that she was happy in her life. Whoever saw Shehla they always wishes that their daughters may get husband like Tameem as Shehla looks so happy but only she knew what she was facing in her life.

But....

Shehla went back to her home with her husband and daughter. Tameem said Shehla to don't pay attention to anyone's taunt specially Mrs. Mirza and she got agree. Tameem and her bond become better, Tameem started taking care of his wife and daughter too. Within a few days everyone started loving Shehla's daughter. Razia gave name her name 'Tasmia'. Shahid felt jealous with Shehla and Tameem's bond but he too love Tasmia very much. Except Mrs Mirza and Nayla everyone was loving Tasmia. Nayla was always good with Shehla but after her son's birth she became arrogant. She felt jealous because no one loves Muneeb that much like Tasmia.

"Agar Pehli olaad Beti ho to baap ke kandhe jhuk jate hain.. Beta hota hai to kam se kam budhape ka Sahara to banta hai. Or agar bhai bada hota hai to chhoti behen ki shadi ka kharcha uthane main bhi madad ho jati hai magar. Tameem ke kandhon kar pehle hi Shehla ka bojh tha ab uski beti ka bhi parh gya. Bechara Tameem"

(If the first child is a daughter, then father's shoulders bow with burden. If one have a son, then at least he will be proved as a support for old age. And also if the brother is older, then he would help to bear the wedding expenses of his younger sister. Tamila's shoulders had already been burdened by Shehla, now her daughter is also a burden on him. Poor Tameem)

Shehla was shocked on what Nayla was saying to Mrs Mirza that too in front of her. Shehla never expected such thing with Nayla.

"Bhabhi aap bhi to apne abbu ki sabse badi beti hain, kya aap bhi unke kandhon ka bojh thi? Or meri beti koi bojh nahi hai... Beti Allah ne di hai uski shadi ka kharcha uthane ki hittam bhi wo hi dega."

(Bhabhi you are also eldest dauther of your father. We're you also burden on your father's shoulder? By the my my daughter isn't a burden on me, if Allah has granted us a daughter then he will grant the money for her future expenses too)

Saying that Shehla left from there, but she was angry on Nayla and Mrs. Mirza.

At night Shehla told everything to Tameem about what Nayla was saying regarding Tasmia, he said arrogantly that he don't need anyone to bear his daughter's expenses and kissed the cheek of his daughter. After talking about that they both lay down to sleep.

At mid night Shehla's slumber got disturb with some kind of voice, her back was facing Tameem and Tasmia was in her father's embrace.

"What are you doing? Don't make these noise... Let me sleep" Mumbling in sleep Shehla said and again sleep but

"Please.... Don't make these noises I'm feeling scared..." Shehla again said but this time she turned to saw Tameem and forgot to take breath.

"Tasmiaaaa" She yelled and pulled her daughter back from Tameem's embrace and ran towards the door of the room with her shivering legs. She didn't bother to wore her dupatta and ran downstairs.

''Ammiiii.. Ammiiiiii..... Ammiiii" shouting very loudly Shehla ran towards Mrs. Mirza's room, she was embracing her daughter very tightly.

"Ammiiiii Ammi.... Unhe kuch ho gya...(something happened to him)" Shehla said while crying and Mrs. Mirza woke up with a jolt, first she gave dupatta to shehla then asked about the matter in the time being Aaqil, Shahid, Kehkasha and Tehseen also came there as everyone was awaken by Shehla's yellings.

" Ammi... Ammi.. Unhe kuch ho gya.. (something happened to him)" Shehla was crying and saying the same that when Tehsee and Shahid exchanged their looks and scoot towards the room of Tameem, Kehkasha hugged Shehla with tearfilled eyes and glared Aaqil

"Ammi unki aanke dekh kar mujhe dar lag gaya... bilkul ese kar rahe hain jese horror movies me dikhate hain na.. Jab koi bhoot aa jata hai.." Shehla cried and told her mother-in-law. Kehkasha was still hugging her

(Ammi I felt scared by looking at his eyes, he was behaving the same like it shown in horror movies when some evil entered in the body)

"His eyes are turned up, its completely white..." Shehla mumbled while breaking the hug she was crying and shivering.

"Bhabhi unhe kya ho gyaaaa..."

(Bhabhi what happen to him?) She cried and Aaqil patted her head.

"Kuch nhi hua use... Main dekhta hu tum ro nahi.. Jao jakar so jao.."

(Nothing has happened to him, I'm going to check him, you go and sleep)

Aaqil said Shehla shook her head suddenly and fearfully

"I won't go near him... I'm feeling scared of him, I'll not go in that room." Shehla said in fearful way while holding Kehkasha's hand with one hand and she was carrying Tasmia in other arm.

Kehkasha said Shehla to sleep but she was crying constantly and spent her whole night on prayer mat doing dua for her husband's wellness.
