Humza's pov :
After playing with Zain, we all were tired and the little munchkin fell asleep in my lap, Still holding his PSP in his hands....
I took it out from his grasp and made him sleep on his room and I kept pillow on his sides to secure him from falling, then I went back to complete my work....
After sometime Haan came and told me that! he had forgot to bring Rey's pregnancy medics and she need her tablets, as her iron deficiency will effect her health...
I nodded in approval then I took my car keys and we left for the pharmacy! and it was far away from the mansion, but I had this uneasy feeling running in veins, like something is wrong...
After hearing asfa's thoughts early evening, I was shocked! but I thought may be she is just worrying, unnecessarily....
But this uneasy feeling is never leaving my system! we were half way to the pharmacy and Haan got a call from Rey sistah, that asfa was missing!!...
My heartbeat stopped for a minute, I was shocked! what the hell was happening? I thought and I quickly took a u turn and rode the car in full speed, breaking all the traffic rules...
Haan was consoling me, but nothing seemed to make sense in my mind, her words kept replaying on my mind!
Just felt like, I'm not going to see you anymore!!!
I stopped the car and ran through the gates like a maniac and I see saffu on the verge of crying and Rey looking scared...
"where is asfa? " I asked, in panic...
"I don't know? I just came here to kitchen and saw saffu worried, I asked her what happened? and she told me that, she searched everywhere but asfa was missing! " Rey said, in a broken voice...
"Pls find my sisto! " saffu cried, holding Rey..
I was devastated! where would she go??
"hey wait.... I saw nimra coming from poolside five minutes ago and she looked panic--" Rey cutted her words and she began to ran in the direction of pool...
I ran like a maniac behind her and Rey screamed at the top of her voice and I stood numb there, i saw asfa struggling deep in the water, she looked helpless! and her body began to become motionless...
"humzaaaaaa! " yelled, Haan catching the falling Rey In his arms and safwa stood shocked and it broke my trance...
I jumped on the pool and I swam inside and took asfa in my arms and she was motionless, I swam with her upside and it was becoming difficult but Haan hold her hands and I pushed her up then he laid her on the ground..
I quickly came out and I was scared! what if something happens to her! no.. no... no..
"asfa open your eyes! asfa do you hear me? asfa! " I shook her, yelling her name...
She had stopped breathing, I panicked! I was literally crying, yelling her to wake up!..
I gave her CPR, I opened her mouth and blew air through my mouth and I pressed her heart, I did like three times! but she was not responding..
Safwa was crying and Rey was shouting for her to wake up! my own mind was fear struck, I was loosing her..
"open your eyes dammit! " I yelled at the top of my voice, but no response! I did one last time and presses her heart more and she spat water and started coughing...
My breath came back, I was crying like a maniac, she was coughing vigorously...
"thank Allah you woke up! " I cried, in fear she opened her eyes and looked at me! her brown orbs was filled with fear..
She looked weak, her face pale! her dress soaking wet and everyone was crying and smiling at the same time...
"you'll not get rid of me easily! " she joked, in a small voice smiling weakly just like, I had said earlier!..
I smiled crying, my voice broken! I hugged her tight and sobbed in her embrace, I let my tears ran freely, she wrapped her arms around me...
Only Allah knows! what I went through at the moment, I literally lost her, she almost died in my arms! if I had lost her today, I would've been died along with her!!..
"take her to room Humza! " Haan said, tapping my shoulders...
I nodded and scooped her in my arms and placed her on our bed, she was wincing in pain her left leg look more than swollen and blood was coming out from the scratches, all the time she was clutching my hands tightly and doctor arrived in no time..
The doctor wanted to check her, but she didn't leave my hand and I too didn't want to leave her but doc insisted " I'll be just outside ok! don't worry she is just going to check you! " I said softly and her eyes were puffy red..
She released my hand and I went outside! every family members were waiting with me, for doctors report..
I was beyond angry! how did she end up in pool? what if I've not arrived on time? just the mere thought of her leaving me, scared me to death!...
"how did this happen? " I yelled, in frustration....
Everyone flinched at my tone and I was dead serious right now! if someone was involved in this, I'll not leave them alone...
"we don't know Humza? " momma said, while she too was crying...
I just hugged her tight and sobbed in her embrace, I was weeping like a broken child! she caressed my back..
"don't worry, she'll be fine Insha Allah! " momma said, assuring me! I just nodded my head...
Grandpa was shocked and he was silent, I know how he'll be feeling right now! and imad's fist was clenched and he was gritting his teeth to control his anger and everyone was sad about her condition...
The doctor came out with a nurse and I hurried to her "Mr.Ibrahim she is safe now! " she said and everyone sighed in relief...
"if even one minute was late, we would've lost her forever! " she said, I clenched my fist...
"but her legs look worse than before! she has a fracture and she should be in bed rest, her fracture will take time to heal! " she said and I got confused..
"but she had a sprain right? " I asked, dumbfounded..
"last time I checked she had an ankle sprain! but now her ankle looked fractured, looks like she hit it somewhere or someone did it by hitting with force on her leg! " she explained and I gritted my teeth..
"I gave her a sedative Now to lessen the pain and I bandaged her fracture and take care of her, she may be suffering panic attack! due to the incident! " she explained and left..
I just stood their numb, Haan hugged me and consoled me "it's OK lion! she is OK! now go and see her, she needs you! " he said and I nodded silently...
Everyone gave me a weak smile " Now everyone take rest, it's late night! " grandpa said and everyone nodded and left for their room...
I slowly entered my room and the sight just pained my heart! she was just laying there unconscious and the nurse had Changed her dress, seeing her in this state! my insides broke into pieces...
Just couple of hours and I nearly lost her, I neared her and took her hand in mine and I kissed it slowly, my tears were uncontrollable..
"I couldn't protect you? I failed you my love! I'm sorry! " I cried hysterically...
"I'm such a bad husband! I'm sorry! " I cried like a broken child...
I felt a hand on my shoulder, I turned to see imad standing there and his eyes were puffy and I know he had cried..
"it's not your fault! Don't blame yourself, you saved sisto on time! " he smiled, at me sadly..
"I'm sorry again! " I said, my voice was hoarse ...
"it's OK! I'm glad we found a gem like you, for our sistah! " he consoled me, I smiled lightly at him...
"take care! " he said and kissed asfa's forehead and left...
I changed into my tees and tracks then I sat beside her and held her hands, it was cold! I caressed her cheeks and placed a kiss on her temple...
"I promise! I'll never leave you alone " I said, in crooked voice....
Asfa's pov :
I was drowning deep in water, my fear once again came alive! I always have fear of drowning and now I experienced it too..
I felt like my soul was leaving my body and my thoughts were filled with only one person, Humza!...
"no no Pls leave me! " I wailed...
"Humza save me!! " I yelled and my eyes snapped open by the splash of water on my face, I blinked back to see clearly...
"it's just a nightmare! you're safe, I'm here! " Humza cooed, in my ear...
Tears started falling from my eyes! oh Allah! he's here, Alhamdulillah!! he looked so vulnerable just like me, I hugged him tight and sobbed in his chest, loudly...
"I thought I will never see you again! " I mumbled, between my cries...
"shhh! don't say that, I'll be with you always! " he cooed, his own voice trembling....
He caressed my back soothingly, he held me tight and he hid his face in my neck, his own tears wetting my neck...
I pulled away slowly and he cupped my face, I looked at his emerald orbs which had lost his shine, he looked like a lost child...
"you know what? when you didn't open your eyes, I thought I lost you forever !" he said, crying...
"if something had happened to you! then, I also have died at that moment! " he said, pain lacing in his voice...
"I'm sorry! I didn't saved you, I failed you! " he said and hung his head low, still sobbing...
I cupped his face and made him look at me "no! you saved me, you never let me die, you brought me back Humza! your love brought me back " I said, smiling while a tear slipped from my eyes...
He looked at me and smiled sadly "let's not talk about death! we can't live without each other, because Allah made us for each other! " I said assuring him..
He nodded his head like a lost puppy! I smiled at him and he gave me his heartbreaking smile, which is preserved only for me!...
He made me lie on the bed then he placed a pillow below my ankle and I opened my arms for him, he snuggled into me instantly, like a baby snuggles in his mother's embrace! "you'll never leave me right?" he asked, hiding his face in my neck...
"Insha Allah, never! " I said and caressed his back in one hand and another in his hair...
He smiled against my neck, which made me smile too.... no matter how much he appears tough and cold to the outer world! but he's just a scared little boy inside, who's still afraid!...
He always tries to appear strong in front of everyone, but becomes vulnerable in my arms, just like I became in his! it's true! that I experienced the physical pain and trauma! but the pain, he had suffered while he thought that! he almost lost me! it will be nothing in comparison to mine...
It's like when one is hurt we both feel the pain! when one is sad we both become silent! it's like our soul is connected to one another...
It's true! Allah has made the most beautiful relationship, the relationship of husband and wife!.... It was the first ever relationship which was made in heaven...
"I love you for the sake of Allah! my lioness! " he mumbled against my neck and placed a lingering kiss on my neck...
I smiled "I love you too for the sake of Allah! my lion! " I said and kissed his temple, lovingly....
We both slept in each others arm! his cologne filling my nostrils, giving me the familiar warmth! which always calm my senses....
I thanked Allah a gazillion times for blessing me with another life, he saved me one more time like always...if anything happened to me, I don't know? what would've happened today...
I was caressing his back and he nuzzled his nose in my neck which made me smile, then soon darkness engulfed me....
