Humsafar (short stories)

Atish e Ishq

Note:
Guys I do care about your love but I was very worried due to something and couldn't focus on anything that's why I couldn't update. I tried writing many times but by the end of the day, I just wanted to rest and nothing else.

"Burhan here's your soup please drink it"
Heyam said sitting beside Burhan who was lost in his thoughts

He started drinking it making bad faces. Heyam could see how he was struggling hard to drink it but stayed silent instead of saying anything. Heyam on seeing this asked politely
"Is there anything wrong with soup? Do you not want to have it"

"No, I am just making a habit of enduring the things I don't want to"
Burhan muttered blankly

"Please don't say this. Why would you endure anything Burhan?"
She said gently caressing his cheek having a grown beard

"I have become disabled Heyam. Now I have to endure everything silently. I should be habitual of all of this"
He replied coldly with blank eyes

"You have a chance to walk and you will walk again so stop thinking all of this"
Heyam held his cheek in her hands and made him look into her eyes while stressing each word

"I don't know"
He closed his eyes with helpless irritating expressions

"Ok no more talking. Have it and then you have to sleep too"
Heyam sighed and ordered him to distract himself. Burhan drank the soup silently and had medicines silently

"Come let's sleep"
Heyam smiled lay down beside him and started caressing his hair as he couldn't sleep peacefully due to the pain even after taking a sleeping pill. Burhan hugged her silently and hid his face in her arm trying to sleep. Heyam looked at his helpless self with silent tears rolling down her cheeks praying for him to set well soon

"Burhan I am going to make breakfast. Do you need anything?"
Heyam asked sitting beside him after helping him take a bath, change clothes, and making him eat breakfast

"No, I am tired. I just wanna rest for some time"
Burhan moaned in pain holding his head

"OK I will make you lie down"
Heyam made him lie down on the bed and put the blanket on him

"The water is just beside you and your wheelchair too. The physiotherapist will come in an hour or two. You rest till then"
She kissed his forehead making him smile lightly and went to the kitchen holding her back which was hurting a lot
...............................................................

"I need to go to the washroom"
He said looking beside the bed but his wheelchair was kept at a little distance from it. The maid kept it there while cleaning the room

"Ohh what should I do now"
Burhan leaned and tried to hold it but it rolled back making him almost fall from the bed and raising his heartbeat

"Ohh! What to do now?"
He bit his lips worriedly but couldn't do anything

"Heyam. Heyam"
He started calling her name loudly as the kitchen was away from their room

"Heyam I need you"
He screamed again

All the women in the hall heard him but didn't do anything. Shazia was in her room with Alina as she was sick

"Mama"
Burhan tried to call Ayesha when Heyam didn't come as a mother is the only person who listens to you when no one does but in his case it was the opposite

"Mama listen to me"
He tried calling her again feeling helpless. Ayesha listened to him but closed her eyes and continued reciting prayers. Although her heart was insisting her to go see him still she overcame that feeling with hate
