"Doctor! He have two ribs fracture, a fracture of right leg femur bone and ankel muscle stretch. " the nurse gave the information.

"And what about the upper limb?" I asked while going through his x-rays.

"Yeah he have his left middle finger and right elbow joint fracture. He is still on drips. Later we can prescribe him the liquid diet. And he also have alot of bruises because of broken glass pieces " she further informed me.

"Hmm! Thanks marwa! You now may go to the room no. 17, I have prescribed the drug and a drip of normal saline. So give them to that patient. " she left after taking the information.

I looked at him, Sheharyar....

He have met with the accident. I wasn't surprised tough.... such acts are being expected by these kind of people.

Ifra was on the duty and unfortunately he have to come to the same hospital. She panicked seeing Sheharyar as she just saw him fully fine two hours ago. I came here and took the case and started the treatment. It was 4 in the morning.

I sat beside the chair and stared at the person in front of me.

Bandages all over the face.

Plaster on right hand.

Leg also being plastered.

A complete roll of bandage over his stomach.

His eyes closed.

What have you done Sheharyar?

I took a deep breath.

Insan jitna bhi nafrat kar lay kisi se....

Nafrat hamesha jhuk jati hai muhabbat k agay....

Life is a name of constant change of emotions.

From being unknown to know....

From being known to liking....

From liking to being ignored..

From liking to being loved....

From love to hatred....

From hatred to being completely unknown...

And the cycle continues......

That day when you came to ask for forgiveness.... I did forgave you... but didn't have the courage to say so.

I was so hurt by your harsh behavior, Sheharyar!

But that doesn't mean that you could do this to yourself.

Being a Doctor, I know how much this all must have been painful.

When he'll woke up.... how much pain would he face.....

I again took a deep breath and closed my eyes tightly and an unwanted tear slipped my eye.

No one still knows about it except haarib.

I'll tell others tomorrow.

Haarib entered the room, "bhabi.... he'll be alright na"

I smiled, "puch rahy ho ya bata rahy ho?"

"Bhabi bata raha hun! He is a fighter! Dekhna ap....."

"Bohat ziyada fractures han.... aur abhi use anaesthesia ki wajah se pain feel nhi ho raha... anesthesia ka effect khatam ho kar bohat ziyada dard ho gi...." I explained.

"Han! Toh sahi hai na....

Isay saza milni chahiye thi. Kon kehta hai aisay gari chalaye....

Aur...

Kis ....kis ne kaha tha k meri bha....bhabi ka dil dukk...dukhaye...." he said this while tears started to flow from his eyes and he stormed out of room.

"Haarib...." I called him but he was too fast.

I again sat back on my seat.

Ya Allah! Sheharyar ko jaldi se sehat de de!

-------------

"Soha beta! Ye hosh ma kab tak aa jaye ga?" Aunty asked.

"Aunty bas kuch aur ghanty. Ap fikar na karai. He'll be fine. "

Mama , baba , aunty, zuhaib and alia everyone came. It was so difficult to handle alia. Zubaib did calm her down. I and haarib handled aunty.

Maa baba was also worried.

"Dr. Soha! Dr. Shehroz is here. " the nurse informed.

"Yeah! Send him here. " I ordered her and then said to aunty,

"Aunty he is a renowned specialist of orthopedic. He'll definitely do his best for Sheharyar's treatment. "

She nodded but again but her head down.

A mother is always a mother, worried for her child, even that child became adult, young or old.

I moved towards Dr. Shehroz and we went inside.

-----------

"Hey young man! Hows the pain now?" Its been 24 hours to his accident and now it was Dr. Shehroz asking him questions. I was standing beside him.

Sheharyar been up for past an hour. He have been noticing my presence and looking in my direction now and than.

"Yeah! Its fine. " he replied still looking at me.

Fine! Itni dard mai insan ki jaan nikal rahi hoti ha aur ye sahab fine han.... wah!

"So what got into you that you were driving so fast...." Dr. Shehroz asked while going through his x-rays.

Han! Ab batao why did you drove fast. Kharoos kahi ka.

"Umm...sir...just got into a fight with someone and lost my mind. " he replied still looking at me.

I raised an eyebrow. Oohhh really!

Ab ye bhi meri hi galati hai!

"You have a beautiful wife man! Why fight with others huh!...

Okay your x-rays show a bad report. You have badly fractured your bones. Almost four bones have been fractured. So.... it would take time to heal. Otherwise the plasteres are on, after that you'll need a little therapy for which I guess your wife would be enough.....am I right Dr. Soha?"

"Yeah definitely sir!" I replied still looking at Sheharyar.

Aisi therapy karu gi.... naani yaad aa jaye gi in ko.

"Okay now ! I'll take my leave. Medicines have been prescribed. No need to worry. " he said his final words and went outside. I also went behind him not wanting to talk to Sheharyar right now.

-----------

"Aunty ap sab ghar chalai jaye! I am here with him. No need to worry! He is fine. Aur Alia you also need rest. Now c'mon " I said to alia and aunty.

"Haarib! Please ap inhy ghar le jaye! And seriously no need to worry. He'll be discharged in a few days. " I assured them and everyone stood up leaving. Aunty stopped by my side. Her facial expressions were as if she didn't wanted to leave. I hold her shoulders and hugged her,

"Everything is okay! Relax!" I tried to make her relax.

"Just be with him always! He needs you. " her words had double meaning. Staying with him right now was not what she wanted to say. Staying with him whole life is what she meant.

I smiled and bid goodbye to everyone.

"Jennifer I am in room no. 10 if any emergency came you can call me from there. " I informed her and moved towards his room.

Life is becoming more difficult day by day....

Have to do what I wasn't supposed to....

Heart requests to forgive him but mind comes in between and says 'are you sure?'

He was sleeping. Eyes closed. Slow breathing.

I moved towards him. Unwantedly my fingers began to run over his bruised face.

The stitches over his forehead.

This all must have been so painful.

It was as if I was feeling the pain.

I shut my eyes tightly.

"Its not painful now!"

My eyes got opened his voice. His eyes were on me. Stern expressions.

"Hmm" I hummed and was about to stand up and leave but his next words stopped me.

"I am sorry! I really am!....." I stayed there. Immobilized.

"I really wa....wasn't in my senses tha...that....ahh" he was trying to sit up. Little did he know. It would take his all efforts to sit up right now.

"Don't move! You are not in a position to even move a bit. Just stay like this. " I informed him with my face on the other side. And he continued.

"It's been 4 days you were gone. And I .... I couldn't even sleep properly. My behavior wasn't acceptable. No one would be able to forgive me. My real senses came back when you mentioned Alia..... I really would have torned that person into pieces if someone would have done act like this to her.....

That's why.... I....." he was speaking but I interrupted

"So you thought that you would go and hit a truck and you would die! Right?" I asked folding my hands.

"Sheharyar do you have a slight idea of what would have happened to aunty after you? That sister of your's .... do din se roo rahi ha continuously.... and your best friend! He have been hiding his tears. I have never seen him cry till now.

Everyone were so hell worried but who the hell cares. You do what you think is right. " I exploded and I don't know why was I doing this much anger.

"And you didn't?" His eyes met mine.

"Huh?"

"And you wasn't worried?" He asked with confident evident on his face.

I so really wanna punch him so hard!

Arrogant.

"No! Why would I be!" I answered uninterestedly.

"Hmm... why would you be.... but may I have a keen request to my savior?"

He really have hit his head hard! Pehly kam pagal tha jo ab aur ho gaya hai!

"Yeah?"

"Would my wife be with me during the period of recovery?"

His question made me surprised.

"Hey! Jija jee! How are you feeling now?" Ifra came in.

Pehli dafa sahi time par ai hai ye larki.

"Yeah fine. " he replied.

"Ifra can you please stay with him for a while. I have to see the patient.

"Array I'll attend the patient you can stay here. " she said smiling.

Ye nahi sudhre gi.

I eyed her and signaled her to 'shut up'

She stayed silent and I left the room.

---------

"You have recovered very fast jija jee!" Ifra smiled at me.

Its been a week I am here.

Didn't know its the Destiny or what.... that after accident I was brought here, near her.

Since the whole week, she was constantly here but only when I was asleep. Sometimes I would pretend to sleep so that she could stay here.

Its so fucking painful. My whole body ached. But don't know when she comes near.... the pain lessens.

I am in love with her! I just want to apologize for my stupid act. And she isn't giving me the chance to apologize.

"Dr. Shehroz said to appoint a nurse for your take care at home after discharge. " ifra's voice brought me back to the reality.

Haarb was here and I told him the plan. I looked towards him and he nodded.

"Array behn jee! Ap kia baat karti han!" He moved towards ifra and put his left elbow on her right shoulder.

She fumed in ager and jerked her shoulder backwards and haarib stumbled forward,

"Behn jee ap apni behn ko kahiye ga ja k! I am not behn jee for anyone do you get that!" She said with a devilish smile.

"Husan par tum apne itna itraty ho....

Koi jaam hai jo ankho se pila dety ho..."

Ye larka nahi sudhre ga!

I chukled on his poetry. And ifra's face was as if she didn't understand what he said.

"Ohho! Beh...mera matlb hai ifra jee! Baat ma ye kehna chah raha hun! K jab itni mushkilo se mere bahiya jee ek dulhaniya le aye han aur woh bhi doctor hain! Toh

Doctor begham k hoty hue what's the need of a nurse? Hmmm?" Haarib said while moving around the room.

"Thank you so much for your concern Mr. Haarib. But his wife have alot of work other than nursing too. "

Ifra folded her hand and said....

And again there argument started.

From past 3days this is happening. They both start a conversation and end up with the arrangement.

----------

"Soha! Beta tum aa rahi ho na sherry ka khayal rakhne?" Aunty asked me when I was about to sign the discharge papers.

I looked at her and her eyes were filled with so much desperate request and wish of being me with his son.

My heart says to give him one more chance and go with him. He needs the care.

But my mind says he would hurt me again so.... don't go.....

What should I do........
