Scene 1: Visiting Aliza's Grave
The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a warm glow over the cemetery as Hamza and Fatima made their way to Aliza's grave. The air was crisp, filled with the scent of fresh flowers that adorned the graves of loved ones lost. Hamza held Fatima's hand tightly, offering her comfort as they approached the headstone.
"Here we are, sweetheart," Hamza said softly, kneeling beside the grave. "Let's pray for your mother."
Fatima looked up at her father, her big eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Will she hear us, Baba?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Hamza nodded, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Yes, she will always be with us, in our hearts and our prayers."
As they bowed their heads, Hamza prayed for Aliza's peace and blessings. Fatima followed suit, closing her eyes tightly. She whispered a few words, not entirely sure of what to say, but filled with love for the mother she had lost. After a moment of silence, they placed fresh flowers at the grave, and Fatima traced her fingers over her mother's name, feeling a connection that brought both comfort and sadness.
Scene 2: A New Routine
With the new school year underway, Fatima was excited to start Grade 1. The morning sun streamed through the window as Hamza prepared her breakfast. He watched her carefully select her outfit, the little girl filled with anticipation and nervous energy.
"Baba, do I look okay?" Fatima asked, twirling in her new dress.
Hamza smiled, ruffling her hair. "You look beautiful, Fatima. Ready to make new friends?"
As they arrived at the school, Fatima clung to Hamza's hand. "What if they don't like me?" she fretted.
"They will love you," he reassured her. "Just be yourself."
As the bell rang, signaling the start of the day, Hamza kissed her forehead. "Go on, my brave girl."
Fatima stepped into her new classroom, taking a deep breath. The walls were decorated with colorful drawings and cheerful quotes, easing her nerves as she took her seat and looked around, ready to embrace her fresh start.
Scene 3: A Glimmer of Hope
Days turned into weeks, and with each passing moment, Fatima began to flourish in her new environment. She made friends, learned new things, and even found joy in drawing again. One day, she came home with a drawing of her family, including a bright sun in the corner and the words "Love is Forever" scribbled in crayon.
"Look, Baba!" Fatima exclaimed, showing her artwork with a beaming smile. "This is us!"
Hamza's heart swelled with pride. "It's beautiful, Fatima. You've captured our love perfectly."
In the following weeks, he noticed her laughter returning, the shadows of grief slowly lifting as she found solace in school, friends, and her drawings. She began to express herself more openly, sharing stories of her day with excitement, a clear sign of healing.
Scene 4: Komal's Fate
Meanwhile, far away from Hamza and Fatima, Komal was living a life of fear and regret. After fleeing to Dubai, she enjoyed a temporary escape, but guilt haunted her. Every night, she was plagued by nightmares of her involvement in Aliza's death, the weight of her actions crashing down on her.
One fateful evening, as she strolled along the beach, lost in her thoughts, she stumbled upon a group of shady figures. Without warning, she was pulled into their midst. The terror in their eyes mirrored her own, and in that moment, she realized she had crossed paths with the wrong people. They accused her of betrayal, believing she had divulged their secrets.
Before she could react, they dragged her away, and a scream echoed across the night, silencing the waves. The darkness of her choices had finally caught up to her, leaving a chilling reminder that destiny punishes those who betray.
Scene 5: Healing and Hope
Back in Rawalpindi, Hamza embraced each moment with Fatima, guiding her through the process of healing. He enrolled her in art classes, encouraging her to express her emotions through creativity. Their bond grew stronger, and together they attended support groups for families affected by trauma.
In these sessions, Fatima met other children who had experienced loss, and for the first time, she didn't feel alone. She learned to voice her feelings and began to understand that healing takes time.
Hamza watched as Fatima flourished, her laughter echoing through their home once more. He often found himself reminiscing about Aliza, but he also felt a sense of purpose. For Fatima, he vowed to create a life filled with love, laughter, and endless support.

The little girl helped with decorations, her creative spirit shining brightly as she painted signs and arranged flowers.
On the day of the wedding, the venue was adorned with vibrant colors and twinkling lights, creating an enchanting atmosphere. Fatima wore a beautiful dress, twirling in delight as she and Hamza arrived.
Aaliya looked radiant in her bridal attire, and as she walked down the aisle, tears filled Hamza's eyes. He felt a mix of joy for his sister and sadness for Aliza, wishing she could witness this beautiful moment.
The ceremony was filled with laughter, love, and heartfelt speeches. When it was time for the couple to exchange vows, Fatima's eyes sparkled with happiness, understanding the significance of love.
As the night continued, the celebration reached its peak with dancing and music. Hamza and Fatima shared a dance, both feeling the warmth of love surrounding them, a promise of brighter days ahead.
