It is a baby boy said sara, Allah bless him he is so cute said his other aunt hameeda. Look at the hair it’s so beautiful. The cheeks are chubby and soft. The atmosphere around is so joyous everyone at home is happy and gay .Congrats Nisar, said nisar’s mother, you are a father of a baby boy now. Hearing the news nisar ‘s happiness saw no bounds. He hugged his mother and went to the hospital to see his newborn.
Are you happy asked nisar, yes Alhamdulillah I am very happy and lucky to be blessed with a baby boy replied “noor, I hope and pray to Allah that he becomes a doctor one day. No he will be an engineer like his dad said Nisar. Oh stop the argument and let time decide what he becomes intervened Mustafa, the eldest brother of Nisar and uncle of the newborn suhail.
suhail is the light of the eyes of his family members. He is being treated like a prince by the whole family including the aunts and uncles of both sides. His attractive looks and behavior is giving him more pampering. He is just 1 year old but is already the heartthrob of the whole setup. noor is the most happy of the lot. It’s as if she has found a new partner in her son as in Nisar is mostly away and busy with his work.
Mama is the word that suhail speaks hearing the words noor bursts into tears, it’s the first word he spoke murmured noor. Wish Nisar was here thought noor, listening to his son’s first word he would have been the most joyous. Mashallah said sara may devil’s eye never have an impact on my suhail placing an amulet around his neck and reciting a few verses of the holy Quran.
suhail has turned 3 today and it’s time to get him admitted into a school contemplated noor. Standard public high school will be the best choice as it’s near and even his cousins study there, they will take care of him and make him feel at home said Mustafa. Yipee now I will be with suhail whole day thought nahira the eldest cousin of suhail. Its school time get ready my cutie pie said noor to suhail. suhail was not happy and cried the whole day that first day. At lunch his mother would come to his school to make him eat the food. And it would then continue till he turned 12 .
suhail has topped this year as well said nahira to his cousin I am sure he is going to be a Doctor. Yes he will and I have full faith in Allah and him. You know he was fiddling with his uncles stethoscope and was acting like a doctor I bet he will be a great doctor one day said Asif his cousin. Yes even his teachers were praising him and they believe he is an asset for their school said mustafa.
Its 103 degree Fahrenheit sighed nisar, stop crying, I had told you not take him with you to the wedding, I knew he would fall ill. I had no option but to take him there it was my cousin’s marriage after all sobbed noor. He needs three days rest and don’t send him to school doctor advised. Missing the school was the most painful thing for noor more than the suffering of suhail. Wake up my son its school time again. suhail is completely changed now he talks less takes less interest in studies and doesn’t wrestle around with his cousins. This thing is giving sleepless nights to noor little did she know that her son had developed a stuttering problem. suhail can’t talk properly. He can’t talk nonstop now. His tongue has developed a problem now.
Its 13th march and it’s raining cats and dogs in Srinagar. noor is busy with the daily chores, suhail is at school,. Somebody is calling yelled rahman the butler at the house. He wants to talk someone in the family. Hello who is it? Its abdul sattar from the roads and buildings department. We have a bad news for you nisar has met an accident and is currently admitted in SKIMS. What? Replied noor; beep beep and line is disconnected. noor couldn’t bear the news and falls on the floor.
There is hue and cry all over, everyone at the funeral of Nisar is crying, after all he was only 39. The world of noor is ruined. She is in shambles. She has lost everything as in the husband holds most prominent place in every woman’s life. She has lost her soul mate. Nisar is no more he is dead in an accident on the national highway. Though there is a speculation that he might have been killed by his counterparts as in he was going to be chief engineer.
Don’t do this to yourself please think about suhail what will be the impact on him said mustafa. He is already depressed due to his stuttering problem and now the death of his father will almost make him go crazy. Yes I will live for him sighed gul wiping her tears. It’s his matric examination as well. I don’t want him to make this and excuse. I want him to pass with flying colors.
The result of matric examination is out and suhail has achieved 70 % marks. I will take medical as my subjects. I want to be a doctor. Yes my son that has been my dream since your birth and I am sure you will make me proud one day. He had taken keen interest in his studies after the matric results and the results were showing. He has qualified the common entrance test and has bagged himself a seat in the Medical college of batra.
The atmosphere at home is joyous again after a long time. The news has catched fire and has reached every relative. The stutter is a medical student now .
Its 12 am and phone of sahil starts ringing. Sahil is cousin and a dear friend of suhail. I am depressed and want to finish my life sahiil said suhail. Why ? are you mad replied sahil . I am standing on the tawi bridge and I am going to jump off it. But why? you idiot! are you out of your senses yelled sahil his heart pumping fast as if it might come out of his mouth. Yes I am said suhail and the phone gets disconnected.
Its 15th july sahil and suhail have caught up at pari mahal. What had happened to you that day enquired sahil. As if a mad dog had bitten you fumed sahil. Be in my shoes and then you would have known what it takes to be stutter replied suhail sobbing. Stop bro I am sorry but you have a mother and you should have thought about her before even thinking of that drastic step. Do you even realize what would have happened to your mom. She lives only for you. Yes I know but my life is like hell when I talk girls make fun of me. Last week a patient laughed at me while I stuttered. You know that time I really wanted to die suhail said. Look bro nobody is perfect even I am not. You should really think of those who cant even talk. Yes you are right I will change now, and live for my mom said suhail. though he had plegded to change the feeling of bieng a stutter had given him a cause to ponder so much so that he started taking anti depressants.
It was 12th may the news of suhail’s death had reached here. At his home people were saying that he has committed suicide by jumping into mansar lake. The atmosphere at home was very melancholy. Everyone around was seen crying right from the family to friends. noor had lost yet another part of her life. Her life is ruined , she is screaming asking yelling “why me God what have I done”. Her screams and crying make your heart wrench and only a heart made of stone can hold on their tears. “ina lillahi wa ina ilahi rajioon.”
suhail couldn’t cope up with the embarassement of being a stutter. A bully from a girl had been the reason of ending his life. He was high on anti depresaants and this thing had made him loose his concious. His body couldn’t be found for 6 months this inturn had brought in hope for the family,hoping against hope,and believing in th so called peers had given them a ray of hope. On 10th ooctober his body was seen floating on the mansar lake. This day was another setback for noor. This was the end of a boy who after 3 months would have been a famous doctor. The stuttering doctor had lost it. May God fogive him for what he did.
