••••Morning••••
Aliyah woke up and started vomiting again, Abbas woke up and made an appointment for her.
They both quickly had their breakfast and went to the doctors.
At the doctors's office
Doctor: "Hello Mr and Mrs Ahmed Khan, how may I help you?".
Abbas: "Hi well my wife Aliyah has been vomiting ever since she came back from our honeymoon and I think she must have caught something from there".
Doctor: Any other symptoms?
Aliyah : "Well I have been quick tired lately and I have missed my periods".
The doctor laughted.
Doctor: Oh Mrs Khan Congratulations your having a baby.
Aliyah and Abbas were shocked
They were going to be parents, they rushed home.
When they got home they were quiet and didn't say anything and told the whole family to come downstairs.
The family were worried wondering what the Doctor must have said.
Aliyah went up to Abbas's Ammi and said,"Me and Abbas are going to become parents".
Everyone was so happy and Azeem said,"Someone go get some sweets".
They were all so happy Aliyah called her parents and told them they also very happy too.
Aliyah and Abbas went to their room and Abbas lifted Aliyah and put her on the bed and sat beside her and hugged her. he hugged her and said,"You have given me the bestest gift in the world".
He looked at her stomach and kissed it
And said,"Aliyah we are going to be great parents".
••••A few months later••••
Everyone was busy in their own lifes
Zara and Azeem were looking after their baby who turned two and Faryal was busy looking after her baby who turned one and Aliyah and Abbas were waiting for their baby to come.
Everyone was happy but happiness doesn't stay for long something bad was going to happen that day.
•••That Day•••
Like usual Azeem and Abbas got ready for work and Zara was looking after the baby. Aliyah was doing some housework even though she wasn't allow and Abbas's ammi was making some food.
Everyone was busy doing their own thing that made Azeem and Abbas went to work but everyday before going they spend time with their mother and then went, Zara gave the baby to ammi and started doing housework and told Aliyah to go and sit with ammi.
Aliyah had always been with ammi they were like best friend but also had a mother daughter relationship.
Aliyah played with the baby while ammi was laying down, ammi said,"Aliyah I know you and Abbas are going to be great parents". Then she kissed Aliyah on the forehead and said,"I'm so lucky to have daughter - in- laws like you and Zara, after I go you both will have to look after the family and house and I'm sure you both will do it well".
Abbas's Ammi : "But one thing Please look after my Maryam she's very sensitive, every since I put her into boarding school she has changed and become very sensitive
I only did it because I wanted to her to have a good education but that was the worstest decision I made, I love her very much but I don't think she knows that after what I done she must think I hated her.
Ammi became emotional
Aliyah: "Ammi don't cry I know Maryam loves you too she isn't upset with you at all she understands why you did it and she told me that she loves you very very much and never wants to be separated from you and please don't talk about going away
We all love you very much, our life would shatter if anything happened to you".
Abbas's ammi smiled and said,"I love you all too".
Abbas's ammi: Aliyah I'm going to the bathroom I'll be back soon".
Before going to the bathroom she kissed Aliyah in the forehead and on her way to the bathroom she kissed Zara on the forehead.
Zara went to Aliyah and said,"Aliyah is ammi ok? she looks upset".
Aliyah: "Yes she is very upset but I don't know why I'm really worried Zara bhaji".
Zara: "Same".
All of a sudden there was a banging noise.
Aliyah ran and seen that ammi and fallen from the stairs and was unconscious, Zara called the ambulance and they took her away.
They called Azeem and Abbas, Azeem went to get Maryam from school.
Doctor: "I'm sorry there is no chance of survival we are trying our best and we are going to put life support on now just hope for a miracle now".
At that time Aliyah's mum and dad came and then Faryal and her family.
The doctor came back and said, The Patient has regained conscious and wanted to talk to her family.
We all rushed and ammi's eyes were wide open.
Abbas's Ammi: "Maryam I just want to let you know that I love you very much'.
Maryam: "Mum I love you too please don't leave me".
Abbas's Ammi: "Azeem I want you to look after the family your the oldest, look after your sister and look after Zara ".
Azeem: "Mum I promise I will I love you very much".
Abbas's ammi: "I love you too Azeem".
"Abbas I love you too I want to look after Aliyah"
Abbas: "I love you even more mum and yes I will look after her".
Abbas's Ammi: "Zara you the oldest daughter-in-law of this house you will have to teach Aliyah some things".
Zara:"Yes ammi I will teach her everything I can".
Abbas's Ammi: "Aliyah Your the youngest daughter-in-law of this family but I want to give you a big responsibility, I want you to look after Maryam and to help her choose the right life partner when the time comes and to always keep her in the right path".
Aliyah:"Yes ammi I promise to look after Maryam and I will promise to look the right life partner for her and stop her from making the wrong decisions".
Abbas's Ammi: "I love you........Azeem.......Abbas.......Maryam........Zara.........and..... Aliyah..... give my love to my grandsons and granddaughters...............................
At that moment the doctors rushed in and said,"Sorry she's no more".
No more! No that can't happen ! Aliyah told herself.
The whole family started to cry
But tried to calm Aliyah down. Aliyah started Screaming in pain.
The doctors took her in to the operation theatre, nobody knew what was happening. The doctor came out and said,"Mr Khan your wife is in a Critical state, you will have to make a choice do you want to save your baby or save your wife?".
Doctor: "But Mr.Khan I can't promise you that Mrs. Khan will survive, there is a 50/50% chance".
Abbas: Doctor SAVE MY WIFE!!
The doctor ran back into the operation theatre, The family cried and prayed. They kept praying and praying until the doctor came back.
Doctor: "The operation was successful your wife has fine but she is crying very much".
Abbas ran to the operation theatre and saw Aliyah falling apart she was going crazy he went and comforted her.
When they got home it felt so empty the voice that used to welcome them home wasn't there, the smile that was filling with love wasn't there. The oldest member of the family wasn't there.
••••The Funeral•••••
It was the hardest day of their life's
It's not easy to say goodbye knowing that's the last time you will ever see them but yet Every Soul shall taste death.
I can't write anymore regarding this topic it's really hard for me to write as my Mamo(uncle) passed away recently and It's really heartbreaking writing this I cried while writing this.
If you have experienced losing a loved one then you know how hard it is to let go to be honest I still can't believe he's gone I have seen him in a coffin and seen his grave but yet my heart can't accept it.
Please forgive me if this chapter upsetted you :( I really didn't mean to hurt anyone's feeling I know this was meant to be a romantic type of story but death is reality and I had to go forward Into my story.
