"Dear! How are you feeling now? We just came half an hour before and Sahir told me


about your knee! "


After sleeping for two hours, she went toward the washroom. When she came out of the


washroom, Sahir and Mrs. Amna was standing in the room.


"I am fine Mom! It is not hurting much! " She said with a smile while limping toward the


bed.


Mrs. Amna and Saba sat on the bed and Sahir sat on the couch.

"Mom, Is everything ok?" Sahir asked as he could see flashes of worry and anxiety in his


mother's orbs.


"No! I am really worried. I went to my sister's house because she got a panic attack. '' Mrs.


Amna said in a gloomy tone.


"Ohh! Is Aunt fine now? Why did this happen to her? '' Sahir asked her.


"Vaniza is getting divorced. This fact is killing her and also me! "


Saba and Sahir made brief eye contact at this.


Amna continued to speak without noticing.


"Can't understand today's generation! They give no importance to this sacred relationship.


You can get married and then get a divorce whenever you want! No tolerance and no


maturity is there regarding this matter!"


There was remorse and pain in Mrs. Amna's tone.


Embarrassment and fear hit Sahir's being while gazing at the anxiety and pain in his


mother's expressions and sadness in Saba's orbs.


"How can I give them pain?" This thought ran through his mind.


"But why did her husband want to give her divorce? There should be a solid reason behind it. "

Saba asked her. Mrs. Amna sighed heavily at her words.


"I don't know yet dear! But I believe that the matter should be of no big importance that a


divorce occurs between them! In nikkah, you are taking a vow by making Allah and His


Prophet (P.B.U.H) your witness. You are engaging in that relationship that Allah called


His one of the signs in the universe. How can you just take it easy? " Mrs. Amna said with


grief.


Saba and Sahir again looked toward each other. There was a complaint in Saba's orbs at


which grief settled in Sahir's veins.


...............................


Darkness encapsulated the whole city. The sky was pitch black, deprived of any moon or


star. This pitch darkness was peeking into the room where Saba was lying on the couch,


binge-watching the Netflix movie "Look Both Ways".


Seeing the struggle of heroin in two different realities makes her wonder how she can


manage her career and family duties. Beinga female, it is difficult for her to skyrocket her


career and have a successful family.


Meanwhile, the door opened and Sahir came inside, holding a tray in his hand.
