While entering doctors cabin Sheeraz hoped-for the best. His heart accelerated in fear, as he eneterd the cabin doctor gestured him to have a seat.
"Mr Sheeraz i am afraid what ill be saying is not in your favor." His heart froze as weird thoughts started clouding his mind when the doctor continued without waiting for a reply from Sheeraz.
" I am sorry to say these Sheeraz but your wife won't conceive in the future, we tried our best but nothing was possible in her case, the operation was very complex as the tumor was in her womb so we couldn't help but remove the fallopian tube, and our priority was to save her so we did that." when these words cane in contact with Sheeraz's ears he couldn't and his tear glands tore and tears started flowing without making any noise He was feeling pathetic and helpless. He was dejected.
He was afraid to break this dreadfull news in front of all especially infront of Sara, what will happen to her? how will she reach to this reality which she never wanted to happen even in her dream? how will she feel when she will come to know that what she was most afraid about having a surgery has come true? Sheeraz's mind started exploding, at this moment he was feeling truly helpless and he hated himself for that. He wanted to hide this fact but what would be the use, so he decided to wait for the right time to disclose this dreadfull fact infront of everyone. He then wiped his tears from the back of his hand and faked a smile and went to his wife who has been shifted from the operation theater.
"Baby...I hope its not paining, you went through a lot of pain awwwww by wife is the bravest, you did well my love." Sheeraz whispered while caressing Sara's cheeks who was still lying unconscious on the hospital bed due to heavy dose of anesthesia she received during surgery.
"What did the doctor said Sheeraz?" A stern voice felt on his ears when he was busy gazing at his wife's face, Sheeraz turned back to the door from where he was siting only to see his mother who was waiting for his reply in an impatient manner.
"Mom t...tha...that is..." Sheeraz was literally stammering while beads of sweat started gathering on his forehead. He knew very well how his mother was going to react to this news, he knew a hell is waiting to welcome Sara as soon as she recovers, but he couldn't do anything for her. He was a helpless husband who loved both his wife and mother and he couldn't choose anyone if given a chance.
"By the way you are stammering I can clearly tell what the doctor must have said. Listen my son and listen very carefully to what I am going to say now. You are my only son and there is no way I am accepting this wife of yours who can't even give birth to our future heir. So you better give me a solution, and mind you I am not accepting any shits from you about adopting someone whom we don't know at all. I hope you understand that." with this she turned and without hearing his reply started to walk out. She was always against about Sheeraz's marriage with Sara, she had never ever once liked her daughter in law. She only agreed to this marriage because Sheeraz was totally crazy after her and he threatened his parents that if he can't marry Sara he will never marry in this life as a result she was left with no choice and she finally agreed to him. This was her golden opportunity to make Sara get lost from his son's life, for her this was God given opportunity which she would grab no matter what.
After about an week Sara was finally discharged from the hospital so Sheeraz accompanied her back home. Sheeraz was beaming in joy as finally his wife was safe and she would be with him 24/7. Little did he knew about what was waiting for him. After she was home nothing changed everything was normal, she was happy that everyone was well behaved with her even her mother in law. Sheeraz was always by her side taking care of her.
But soon her dream in which she was living for almost a month shattered when one day her mother in law called her in her room.
"How are you my lovely daughter Sara?" she asked with the most loving and caring voice as if she was really her own daughter. Anyone would have been deceived by her voice. Sara was amazed when she heard, for a moment she felt like she is dreaming, how could she speak so softly with her.
"I am good mother. Thanks to you and everyone at home for taking such a good care of me."
"So.... what are you going to give us in reward for the kindness we have shown towards you, especially Sheeraz, he really deserves something for the sacrifices he is making for you. Don't you think?" Her voice was slowly turning harsh. Sara was clueless towards what her mother in law was speaking. She had no idea what was happening. Everything was fine till today, so what has happened overnight that her mother in law was behaving this way towards her she had no idea at all. She just stood there like a stone staring at her mother in laws face to get some hits regarding what she was telling.
"Oohhhh.. I got it now. Sheeraz has not told you anything isn't it?"
What was she telling? what has Sheeraz not told her about? her mind started to run wild.
"Let me tell you, you out of all who married my only son is of no use to us, you won't be able to bore a child, my Sheeraz will never get to experience the joy of becoming a father. You have ruined his life. I never wanted you to be the part of our family."
Sara who was standing all these while lost her strength, she felt on the floor while a thud sound followed. Her mouth couldn't utter a word as she was surrounded by shock. She began sobbing and trail of tears followed her. Her heart started aching she wanted to scream she wanted to cry her heart out but her mouth failed her.
Sheeraz heard someone sobbing inside his mothers room so without waiting he ran towards her room only to see a petite figure on the floor. It was none other than his wife. He ran towards her and sat beside her, his eyes were sending daggers towards her mother, he got the idea of what might have happened here in his absence. He gently held Sara's arm and pulled her up and got out of the room.
