He never listened to the whispers of my heart, he only spoke,
Once he tested my love, just once, he broke.
What wonders he weaved with the tongue of creation,
Toppling the walls of my ego, revealing his dedication.
What do the worldlings know of a heart shattered,
But my desire was to be led, that's all that mattered.
I knew the darkness was slowly engulfing him,
Yet I lit the path of my heart for him to swim.
Muneer, he was cruel, leaving the city with silence in tow,
For him, I'd leave this world, he'd never know.

She was wearing a white shalwar suit with a black chadar. Freshness of her face was gone. She looked quite weak.
Uncle took her to the hospital due to her poor health. After check up and doctor's prescription, he went to get medicine from the pharmacy, leaving her in the the hospital. She was sitting in the waiting room on a bench. After a while, someone came and sat next to him. She looked at him in shock. It was the same person. Who came to their house a few weeks ago and then suddenly Hisham was married to Amy.
He didn't say anything to her. At his silence she became curious.
"You must've recognized me , Zainab Khan! This is our third meeting, isn't it! And I think nature is planning us to meet without a reason." He said suddenly.
"Are you hallucinating?? this is our first regular meeting." She chirped at him.
"The first time we met in university was when you and Iman, came with Shaban. There I came to know that Iman is my phupho's(fraternal aunt) daughter." He reminded her.
Iman asserted that day to attend university function, Dadu convinced Shaaban to take them both along with Safi. After much back and forth, he agreed to take them.
There was such a crowd that Amy and Zainab got separated from them. Then he helped them to reach Safi and sha'ban, and soon after he became friends with Sha'ban. When things opened up in friendship, give him the knowledge of his relationship with Iman.
On his request, his grandfather came to take Amy's marriage proposal.
"I am sure that you must have remembered." He smiled devilishly.
"what do you want from me?" She asked in a stern tone, then he smiled wickedly.
" your support to get Amy. . . You will help me marry her."
"But she is married." She replied to him out of surprise that he laughed like that were the words of a child.
"Marriage can be broken my dear Zainab Khan! " she was looking at him with his eyes wide open, who was saying such a big thing so easily.
"This is my number. Take it! The rest of it will be discussed on the phone --- your father is coming. God bless you!"
And she got a card. Only a phone number was written on it and the rest was empty. She slipped the hand with the card under the dupatta.
"Let's go. It's enough time," Uncle said as he reached her. She got up and followed him.
