She opened her eyes and looked around. She was in a hospital room. Then she noticed the IV needle in her hands. Maa begum was sitting near her in the stool.
"Beta thik ho tum?", maa begum asked while wiping her tears.
"Maa mujhe kya hua tha? Main living room mein thi phir main behosh ho gayi. Murtasim aa gaye kya?", she asked.
Maa begum's heart ached Looking at her face. She cleared her throat.
"Beta.. Baat yeh hai ke", she tried to speak but could not.
"Apko pata hai maine bohot bura sapna dekha maa begum. Boliye na Murtasim aa gaye hain kya?"
"Main aati hun abhi doctor se mil kar", saying this she left the room before she break down into tears. Meerab looked at her mother in law with a confused look.
"Maa bhabi kaisi hain?", asked a worried marium.
"Murtasim ke bare mein puch rahi hai. Bol rahi hai woh aaya ke nhi. Aab uss bichari ko koun bataye ke uska sohar wapas nhi ayega", maa begum uttere and started crying.
Marium started crying too.
"Bhabi ko bataya nhi aapne?", marium asked wiping her tears.
"Itni himmat nhi hai marium mujh mein. Bata nhi sakti uska chehra dekho bas ek bar tum jaa kar", maa begum cried.
Naurez gave her a water bottle to drink some water.
"Pani pi lijiye maa begum thoda saa"
"Main bhabi ke paas jati hun", marium said.

"Bhabi... Aapko aab thik lag raha hai?", marium asked.
"Marium... Bolo na tumhara bhai aaya? Kahan hain woh?", she asked.
"Ghar chalte hain na bhabi"
She looked at marium with some hope.
"Ghar pe hain na woh?", she asked.
"Ha...haan ghar pe hain", marium uttered.
Doctor came there and asked her how She's feeling.
"Aap 4 ghante se behosh thi janti hain. Apko abhi kuch feel ho raha hai?", Doctor sadiya asked her.
"Thik lag raha hai doctor abhi. Main ghar jaa sakti hun na?", she asked.

"Meerab beta khana kha lo aao", she heard maa begum's voice.
"Magar Muratsim?"
"Khana kha lo na beta. Dawai leni hai na?", maa begum said.
She feed her food and after that gave her medicines. Meerab came and sat on the sofa along with marium.
