On the authority of Ibn 'Umar, radiyallahu 'anhu, who said: The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam) took me by the shoulder and said:
"Be in this world as though you were a stranger or a traveler."Ibn 'Umar used to say:
"When evening comes, do not expect (to live till) morning, and when morning comes, do not expect (to live till) evening. Take from your health (a preparation) for your illness, and from your life for your death."
[Al-Bukhari]

Zeba pov :
Her life from happy smiling moments has turned in minutes. I don't know why I'm feeling its not like I'm emotional attached to Idris just as friends nothing more. Maybe because i feel pain my mom went through I remembered her tears. When I was kid my mom tolerated every torture of my dad because she thought it will make him realise her love but it didn't well you can't force love on someone. You need to learn to accept truth of relationship and walk through it even if you are alone its better then clinging to person for support who doesn't care.

I was just thinking about Idris I didn't got reason why did he married me if he loved someone else. It was clear from his eyes that he didn't felt in love during project but loved her way before it. I avoided Idris whole week it wasn't solution but I have to control emotions from past or not it will come before him. I dislike talking about it. I never shared those things even with dadu.

I can see Idris gloomy face and how worried he was from week so decided to wait for him to return from office to have talk.

He entered house and was looking at seating area like he was expecting me to wait their i observed it standing at corner of room. He walked to his room with disappointing look.

"Ris" I called he stiffen for minute then started looking around like he was imagining my voice. I smiled at his behaviour. I started moving towards him. I have kept my hand on her shoulder and he hold my hand and turned.

"Zeba I'm so sorry I didn't meant to hurt you but I can't hide truth from you. Please forgive me. I don't know what to do" he said with worried voice

"Why did you married me Idris ? Why are you even sorry ? Isn't it all because of me that you are hurt now" I said with sincerity I can't keep denying reality that I never wanted to get married but did only for dadu's sake

"No no you have never hurt me. I married you thinking I will overcome my past love because I liked you way before mom asked me to marry you" he said while I frown how can he like me when I never meet him before our marriage

"How did you knew me ?" I asked and he gave genuine smile while his eyes shine from light coming from kitchen way giving us enough view for our face

"I never knew but only your voice. You remember when you where with your friends at cafe you defended a car driver I was the driver. I was listening to your words you understood me so well I was impressed. Then at Junaid's wedding I saw you not your face though. I was curious and liked your voice and thoughts. I didn't knew its you at time of marriage but on valima day it clicked that I got married to girl I like" he said like forgetting current situation I can understand now why he got impressed because he only saw happy side of my life

"Ris.  how you have realised you still love her" I asked and he gave blank expression and tense

"Can we talk about it later. I'm hungry now" he said I can say he started taking me to kitchen or dragging

"Don't you think you should change first" I said while walking with him

"I will do after eating dinner" he said not caring. I served him dinner. I can see him eating delightfully.

"I have missed eating your cooked meal. I'm so full now" he said licking his fingers leaning on chair

"Oh really I think then you don't wanna have dessert" I said his eyes widened he loved sweet and he never say no to it
