2021-04-28 14:30:00Zaheer's POV,
From a few days I can see that my cheerful Sania is just lost somewhere. She doesn't laugh or fight with me, doesn't even smile. First I thought it must be me who did something but then I realised, she's acting like that with everyone.
She won't even face me when I hold her while sleeping. I'm really worried now. I thought of taking her somewhere like on a date for a whole day but she keeps ignoring it. I always ask her what's wrong and she just says, "it's nothing." It hurts me to see her like that.
Last night she just laid on the bed staring at the ceiling blankly. I let her be for a while till I worked on my laptop sitting beside her.
As I was done, I looked at my beautiful wife and found her still staring up blankly. My heart clenched. I kept my laptop aside and leaning beside her carased her face. To my surprise I found her cheeks wet.

Sania's POV, "The thing is that.... I-I'm sorry that I didn't inform you or anyone about this before." I began. I didn't knew how to say this."Inform what?" She asked curiously."That- I-" I took a deep breath closing my eyes. "I- I can never give you your grandchildren. I- I'm infertile.""What!"Her voice made me jump a little and tears clouded my eyes. I looked at her and she was soo in shock."You can never have children and you and your family knew this all along?"She yelled at me."Not my family. They don't know anything about this. Only I knew. Please don't blame my parents Mom." I said as gently as I could. The most important thing for any parents is to see thier grandchildren after thier children get married and informing that I cannot give them any will shock anyone. I don't blame her.She sat down on the bed with her head in h

Sania's POV,It's already past 2am but Zaheer still isn't back. More than 7 hours have past. I'm scared and worried. We called him but his phone is switched off. Even Mom is restless. I asked her to go sleep but she wouldn't listen. No one even ate dinner. We are hidding all this from Madiha as we don't want her to worry. She's already sleeping. When she asked for Zaheer we lied that he'd be late because he's got some work.Mom is sitting in the living room and I'm pacing near the door. 'Ya Allah please take care of him.' The pain in his eyes was soo clear. I broke his heart, I know, but what else am I suppose to do? I don't have no choice. I can't leave him alone either. I need to make sure that when I'm gone, someone will be with him. Be his companion for the rest of his life.I wipe my tears and run outside as I hear his car. 'Alhumdullilah. He's back'."Zaheer." I ran into his arms holding him tight but he didn

Sania's POV,I stood there motionless as I heard those words from him. 'Divorce? I never even thought about it'."Zaheer beta, please don't say such a thing. Divorce is such an awful course. Even Allah doesn't like divorce." I heard my Mumma say. I remembered her words from a long time ago. She said that, when a divorce happens, even the sky and the earth trembles. I could feel my world trembling by now."Your daughter is forcing me to take this decision Mumma." He said and walked past me but I grabbed his hand. He didn't turn to me."What?" He snapped."I don't want divorce." I said.He turned to me now. "Then stop this 2nd marriage nonsense.""I CAN'T" I yelled. I had enough now. I'm not asking him to commit a murder, I'm just asking him to bring in another wife. Wouldn't any man be thrilled to get permission from his own wife for being with another woman?

Zaheer's POV,Sania is going around seeing girls with Mom for my marriage. What a joke my life has turned into! Yes, I wanted my own family with her but soo what we can't have a child, I'll never stop loving her. As for Mom... Madiha will also get married, she'll have a child. How many times do I have to explain this to them? How can I even accept another woman in my life? How can I even touch her? My heart, my body, my love, everything belongs to Sania. How can I share it with someone else?'Ya Khuda, help me. Show me the way.'Just then Sania came and hugged me from behind as I was sitting on my desk working on my laptop. I turned my head towards her and she quickly pecked my cheek. I was really dumbstruck to see her acting like her usual self after soo long."What are you doing Mr Fancy Pants? Keep your boring work aside for today, because today you and I are going on a date. All day." She said, excitement in he

Sania's POV,I talked to Mom about Naaz. She seemed very impressed but she looked skeptically at me."Are you sure about this? Are you ready to share your husband with another?"I smiled. "Don't worry about me Mom. I'm fine with everything. I just hope they can say yes.""I hope so too."Clinging to that hope and praying all the way, we reached Naaz's home. We talked to them before about bringing a marriage proposal for Naaz but they didn't knew who's. When we showed her parents Zaheer's picture, her mother looked at me in shock."Isn't he your husband whom we met that day? You both gave us a lift home.""Yes aunty. Sorry we didn't tell you this very important thing. I know you must be shocked right now. You'd have never thought about marrying off your daughter to a man with a man who's already married to another woman. Naaz is smart, beautiful,
