"Dil ka Rishta tu Kismat se bnata hai

Warna mulaqat Tu hazaro se hoti hai"

All night she spends either restless or staring at the kids. Mirha only got up once and soon drifted to sleep. She was, again and again, thinking about today's event. The call of prayer alert her and she listened to it with closed eyes answering the prayer. After that, she moved toward the bathroom for ablution and soon prayed to bring some peace to her soul. She looked toward the kids sleeping peacefully and secured a pillow around them. She moved downstairs to make coffee for herself, as she was at the last step she was startled to see Naimal aunty sitting in the living room couch. She knows that the males were gone to the masjid for prayer and will return after their morning walk.

She goes toward the kitchen and made coffee and moved to sit beside Naimal who smiles at her watching that Sila also made coffee for her. Sila picked her cup and sipped the hot beverage to relax her nerves but one glance at the album in Naimal hand and she got curious. Naimal looked at her curious expression and chuckled moving the album in Sila lap. Sila looked at the pictures of cute chubby babies and she knew that it was the twin's childhood album. She smiled at the picture which showed the barely one-month-old babies and caressed it.

"I can't sleep after Fajr and I think why not look at some cute babies," Naimal spoke chuckling. 

They saw many beautiful pictures of twins and in each picture, they are not once smiling. Her heart pained at the thought and she again got lost in the picture when his mother's voice broke her trance.

"You know Sila I have always wanted someone Amazing and Kind for my son but alas fate has other plans for him. The pain Ahtisham suffer was bearable for us but the misery the kids have to go through was never easy to see. Then her death was another shock for them, she was never their mother but at least they have her in their life. That was also taken from them and they cut everyone off and close themselves in a shell," She spoke brokenly. The agony her children has to face pierced her heart.

"But then you came and you collect all their broken pieces. You mend their souls and heal their broken hearts, you protect my kids from every evil. The way you become their shield yesterday was heart-warming but I am afraid Sila. I am terrified that what will happen when you have to go. My babies will again be broken and I know this time no one can mend them," she spoke again tears flowing down her cheeks. Her sobs resonating in the palace walls and her words scared Sila to her core.

"Aunty... Why are you saying this? I promise I will never leave them alone... I... I love them so much how can I...," Sila said politely but was cut off by Naimal.

"Sila you can't give your life for someone else kids. I know you love them but it will be very selfish of us if we keep you here for the kids and don't give you a second chance in life. You are so beautiful and young... Mera bacha I love you like my own daughter and I can't ignore it for my children's happiness. One day, you have to go and live your own life," she said softly. 

Sila shook her head and caressed her cheeks that were soaked with her tears.

"Don't cry Sila. You are so strong and kind. I am not going to send you away tomorrow but I just wanted to let you know that you are like my daughter and I will do anything to do right by you. I know my children will be heartbroken but you can visit them whenever you like and eventually you will move on in your life. I am just saying this you don't have to panic and all just relax but let your mind adapt to the idea and please let it heal your wounds when the chance came," she spoke softly caressing Sila cheeks and kissing her forehead. Naimal went to her room, leaving Sila with an anxious heart and jumbled mind.
