After coming back to Pakistan Zulaid got busy in his hospital and Inara kept thinking about her career choices. Everyone was asking her about her future plans. Her parents wanted her to become a gynecologist.
It was another evening when Zulaid came back from his clinic earlier today. Inara was having coffee in the lawn with Hamad whose working hours were very comfortable.
"Hi" Zulaid bent his head down and kissed Inara's head from the back.
"Oh you are already here" She turned her face to look at him. She was happy at his early arrival.
"Cringe" Hamad muttered looking at him.
"You? Right!" Zulaid pointed at him with a smile.
"Bhai! After marrying her you became a different man. It's been ages since I saw you in anger" Hamad asked her smilingly.
"Perks of being married" Zulaid chuckled.
"He is so jealous of us" Inara mumbled.
"Oh please see your face in the mirror. Moti churail" Hamad never forgot to treat her sisterly.
(Fat witch)
"Oi! Shut up" Zulaid shushed him.
"Joroo ka ghulam" Hamad muttered under his breath.
"Han hoon joroo ka ghulam" Zulaid didn't mind.
Inara stuck her tongue at him and wrapped her hands around Zulaid's arms.
"You must be tired. You want to have food or should I make you milkshake? I have already prepared fruit chat" She gave him many options to choose.
"Fruits will be good" He replied getting up from his place.
"Okay I will see you in a bit" Zulaid ruffled his hair before leaving for his bedroom.
"Ahh I hate you bhai! Don't touch my hair again" Hamad barked.
Zulaid's lips curled into a small smile.
After changing his clothes when he came back into the room. Inara was already waiting for him with a bowl of fruits.
"Zulaid" He called her seriously.
"Yes" He sat next to her on the bed.
"I have made my decision" She told him.
"And what's that?" He encouraged her to speak.
"I want to do dermatology" She revealed.
"Derma hmm" He nodded his head at her.
"Why Derma? I thought you wanted to leave medicine!"
"To be honest! I hate to say this but somewhere in my mind I have accepted my fate. I can't just leave medicine at this stage of my life when I don't have any other options to do and I always wanted to be a working woman I can't just leave my profession. People have other options so they leave this profession but I don't have a single option.
I don't like emergencies and complexities related to other field of medicine and Dermatology is the simplest among them. The working hours are comfortable. There won't be any calls or emergencies. I think it will suit me!" She shared her reasons with him.
"I got your point and I will support you whatsoever but you do know that for doing dermatology first you have to do internal medicine for two years" He asked.
"I know" She nodded.
"It will still be hectic. The exams will be tough. Are you sure you will cope with it?" He asked with concern.
"I have made up my mind for it. I have made peace with it" She mumbled.
"I will be more than happy to see you as a consultant" He patted her hands.
"But my parents-they are pressurizing me to do gynecology" She told him worriedly.
"No one can force you Nara! The decision will be solely yours. When it was time for you to choose your profession you wasn't given freedom to do so. I wasn't here in Pakistan at that time otherwise I would haven't let them forced you into this but now I can stop them. You don't need to be scared of anyone" He squeezed her hand to assure her.
She smiled at him silently.
"What happened?" He asked.
"I just hope I will be able to do it" She told her fears.
"At the beginning everyone gets scared. It's natural. It's not something odd but you need to have faith in yourself. You need to have firm believe in yourself that you can do this and in the end you will do this" He nodded his head.
Inara's parents did object to her choice but they couldn't do anything when she had Zulaid as her supporter. He even tried to make them realize about their mistake they made in the past by forcing Inara into medicine but like every other desi parents they believed they didn't do anything wrong and just wanted best for their child.
Inara knew long ago that she can't change her parents thinking so she had made peace with it even though it had costed a impact on her mental health.
After a few weeks Inara had started her job as MO-medical officer in the dermatology department of a renowned hospital.
It was the second step towards a long journey.
...
Zulaid kept pacing the room. It wasn't wrong to say he was nervous. It had been ages for him to experience such feelings. He was lost in his thoughts when Inara came back into the room.
She stood near the dressing table and put the strip she was holding onto the table.
Zulaid rushed to her and saw the strip. The control line was visible on it and in the next few seconds the test line would show up if it was positive.
"I am so nervous" Inara mumbled to him.
"I am nervous too" He released a soft chuckle.
He was leaning at the table with his both hands on the table. Inara was holding his arm for support. They both were staring at the strip and finally a second line darkened on the strip.
"It's positive" Zulaid beamed in happiness.
He engulfed her in a warm embrace who was shocked at the revelation. She started crying softly in his arms.
"Why are you crying?" He patted her head and asked happily.
"I am surprised" She answered, wiping her tears.
"So am I" He chuckled.
"Alhamdulillah" He muttered with closed eyes and rested his chin on her head. They stayed like that for sometime.
"I will take an appointment" He detached himself from her and looked for his phone.
He grabbed his cell phone and made an appointment with a gynecologist who was his senior in medical college. In the evening they went to the doctor and after running some tests it was confirmed that she was three weeks pregnant.
Zulaid kept teasing her on the way home.
"Nara! You are going to look like a fluffy ball in a few months!" He smirked.
"So what, every woman looks fluffy in this period" She rolled her eyes at him.
"You so accepts that you are a woman now" He pressed his lips into a thin line to suppress his laugh otherwise she would go mad at him for making fun of her.
"I didn't mean that" She protested.
"Aww my sweetheart is saying goodbye to the girlhood" He said further.
"Shut up!" She clenched her teeth.
"Now disrespecting your husband. Such a bad girl. Ohh my bad. You are a woman now!!" He laughed this time just to get a slap on his biceps from her.
"You are the meanest person I have ever met" She turned towards the window and decided to ignore him for now.
"I am sorry. I won't anything now" He touched her arm when she did not react.
"You are mean" She muttered, pushing his arm away.
"And you are so sweet" He asked with love.
"Liar!"
"Hey beautiful don't get mad at me"
"I won't speak to you now"
"How will I survive then?" He asked softly.
She chuckled at his words. He knew how to spoil her mood and how to make it up for her.
"You are going to tell them!" She said to him as he parked the car in the porch.
"What?" He asked absentmindedly.
"That I am pregnant" She told him.
"Why should I tell that!" He laughed.
"Because you are the one who made me pregnant" She grinned.
"Toba hy" He shook his head.
"I am telling you I won't say a word inside" She muttered to him as they walked inside the house.
"Okay. Okay"
Farida and Saman were sitting in the lounge discussing about the suits they bought today.
"Aslamo alaikum" He greeted them walking closer to them.
"Kahan gai thi sawari. Is larki se ghar nahi betha jata" Farida looked at her daughter with a little smile on her face.
(Where do you guys went. I bet my daughter can't sit at home)
"You said rightly Chachi!" He chuckled at her words but his laugh suppressed on it's own when Inara glared at him.
"Hm we have to tell you something important" He said to the soon to be grandmothers.
"What!" Saman asked him seriously as Zulaid turned serious.
"You are going to be grandmother" He told her with a little smile on his face.
Both the woman beamed in happiness taking Inara in their arms. Zulaid smiled watching his wife squeezed between them.
Fareeda had tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe her little girl was going to be a mother. Inara smiled at her with happiness.
"You didn't even mention anything" Saman asked Inara.
"Zulaid wanted to confirm first" She pointed at him.
"Ye to hy hi pagal mujhe btana tha na beta" Saman kissed her forehead with love.
(He is mad. You should have mentioned it to me as well)
"That you said right. He is indeed mad" Inara threw a cushion at him which he quickly grabbed before it could hit him.
"Beta shohar hy" Farida's eyes widened in shock.
(Dear he is your husband)
"To kiya sar par bitha loon" Inara muttered irritatedly.
Everyone burst into laughter. Zulaid was enjoying her irritated face. She looked cute as always.
