"Her simplicity is dynamic
Adore with care, or else
Let ur psyche in the flame
with her spark...."

Mirza House
Giving a finishing touch to her make up, she checked herself in the mirror. Long brown wavy hair. Big doe eyes. Rosy pink lips. Milky white and soft skin. That's how Dua is.
She grabbed her bag from bed and ran downstairs.
"Mummy, I'm ready! Let's go.", she said.
"Finally you are here! We're just going for shopping. Why you took so long? ", her mother asked.
"All because of my naughty phone. It was playing hide and seek with me.", she said dramatically slightly hitting her phone.
"Ya Allah! This girl! Now stop your drama and let's go, meri jaan(my life)."
"Let's go, my beautiful mummy.", she winked playfully and both of them went for shopping.
------------------------------------
At mall
"Mummy, look at this! This will look so good on you.", she showed her mother a dress and chirped happily.
"I already brought so many clothes! I won't buy anymore. ", said Ayesha to her daughter.
"What so many clothes, huh? It's not like you come for shopping daily. Come on, you'll buy this, beautiful.", Dua ordered her mother cutely.
"Okay, fine. But, it's the last one."
"Um....okay.", she smiled.
"Let's go to the counter.", her mother said.
Suddenly Dua's eyes fall on a special section and she ran towards it.
"Mummy! You go to the counter. I'll just be back.", she said excitedly.
-------------------------------
Dua went to the kid's section and started checking baby outfits.
"Wow! These are so cute! I want to buy all of them.", she said to herself and smiled with amusement.
She was walking in the kid's section and saw a baby trolley at a corner. No one was around the trolley. So, she went there to check.
She reached the trolley and saw a small angle there. Dua watched her carefully with a smile on her face.
Her button nose, marble eyes, small hands, strawberry lips.
And suddenly, that angle started crying. Dua looked here and there searching for her family but, no one was there. So, she picked the baby in her arms carefully.
"Shh baby. What happened?", Dua tried to calm her in a baby voice.
It was the first time she was carrying so small baby in her arms. She started rocking her slowly. Finally, she stopped crying .
"Aww baby. You're so pretty! ", she said in a baby voice.
That baby looked at Dua with her pretty marble eyes. Suddenly a boy came running towards them.
"Sara, I'm sorry baby. Look, chachu(uncle; father's brother) is here.", he said to the baby as he took her from Dua.
"Oh! So, you are with her. Why you left her alone? It's not safe at all." Dua asked him still looking at little baby, Sara.
"I'm sorry . Actually, I was attending a call and because of network problem I went to the left side. And, thanks for taking care of her.", he said politely.
"You're welcome. But, please be careful from next time." Dua replied.
"Yeah. Of course! Okay, bye.", he said and was about to leave. But, Dua called him from behind.
"Wait!", she placed a soft kiss on Sara's forhead to which Sara replied with a smile.
"Bye!" Dua said kinda sadly and that boy left with Sara.
"She was so adorable. I'm already missing her.", she mumbled to herself sadly.
Suddenly, her eyes fall on a beautiful frock which had a big bow and a pretty tiny head band. That tiny frock was attracting Dua badly.
"I guess, it's perfect size for that baby.", she mumbled.
She held that frock and ran to her mother.
"Mummy, it's so cute! I want to buy this. ", she said with puppy eyes.
"What will you do with this baby frock, Dua? There isn't even any baby in our family.", her mummy asked with a surprised expression.
"Mummy, please! I badly want to buy this. I'll keep it with myself. Please! ", again she showed her puppy eyes.
"Okay, my girl! We'll buy this.", Ayesha said to her adorable daughter.

"Papa, today I carried a tiny baby in my arms. She was so adorable! Her eyes, cute nose, pretty lips, small small hands....so cute!"
Dua was continously blubbering while eating dinner with her family. She was busy describing her day to her father.
"Hmm...maybe, that baby was adorable. But, I'm sure no one is more adorable than my baby.", her father said with a smile.
"Aish! This father-daughter duo! Nobody cares about us.", Dua's mother said dramatically looking at Dua's grandparents.
Everybody laughed.
They finished their dinner in that cute way and everyone went to their room.
That night, Dua slept with thoughts of that little one; Sara and a smile.

Khan Villa
A tall and handsome man came downstairs in his formal suit with a baby in his arms.
"Good morning, Saad.", Sayeda said with a smile as she kissed the forhead of her granddaughter and soon her smile vanished.
"Saad, I think Sara has fever!", she told her son.
"Yes, Ammi. Last night she couldn't even sleep properly because of fever. I talked to the doctor. I gave her medicines as doctor prescribed. Insha'allh, my daughter will be fine soon.", he informed.
"No, Saad. She'll not be fine! She needs mother's love. She needs a mother.", Sayeda told her son with concern in her eyes.
"Please, Ammi. I already told you so many times. Sara's daddy is enough for her. She doesn't need anyone else.", Saad angrily refused again.
"But, Saad-", Sayeda couldn't finish because of her son.
"Only 4 months! And, you want me to forget Farha? That's never happening, Ammi. ", he said in disbelief.
"I never said that! Farha was a very important part of our life. Those days with Farha is precious for me too. But, Saad you have to think about Sara!"
"I'm always here for my daughter."
"Stop it Saad! I don't want my granddaughter to pay for your stubbornness. I know, you'll say that Farha's memories are enough for you. But, that's not enough for this innocent soul. She needs motherly affection. Why you aren't understanding that? ", his mother said in anger.
"Calm down, ammi. This much stress isn't good for your health.", he kissed his ammi's forhead and left with Sara.
Yes. He never leaves his daughter alone.
"Enough is enough! I won't wait for Saad to say 'yes' for the marriage anymore. Cause, I know he'll never say yes.", she said to herself.
------------------------
Saad parked his car near a lake. With Sara in his arms he walked towards a bench in front of that beautiful lake.
This lake is very special for Saad. He used to come here with Farha. It reminds him those beautiful memories which are now painful to him because of the cruel fate.
"Do you know, Sara? It's your Mummy's favourite place. We used come here at night.", Saad said softly looking at the lake.
"Why Farha? Why you left me? You promised to stay with me forever. Is forever that short!", with tear filled eyes he looked at his daughter. He reminded himself that he have to stay strong for his daughter, for the token of their love.
He kissed his daughter and headed towards home.
Dill to hain magar,
