Tainting The Void Canvas

"I will bring the tea." With that she left for the kitchen.

Calming her heart at the moment is way too difficult thing for her too. Years of pain, years of suffering, years of faded memories are making their presence known now.

And she can't stop this, she can never. It is her fault, like always. Her brain warned that broken heart years ago, Zain Amir means going back to those past lanes, which she can't afford to walk again. But now is too late to realise that, to make her mended heart realise that.

Zain Amir had already given her so many things, and now even if she wants, she can't move back, the option to take a step back is long gone. So why can't her past can be gone like this? Like a memory, like her scars. Maybe because her soul is broken, maybe because her soul wants to be healed.

Be-nam sa ye dard thahar kyun nahin jata

Jo bit gaya hai wo guzar kyun nahin jata

Sab kuchh to hai kyu dhundhti rahti hain nigahen

kya baat hai main waqt pe ghar kyun nahin jata

Wo ek hi chehra to nahin sare jahan mein

Jo dur hai wo dil se utar kyun nahin jata

Main apni hi uljhi hui rahon ka tamasha

Jate hain jidhar sab main udhar kyun nahin jata

Wo khwab jo barson se na chehra na badan hai

wo khwab hawaon mein bikhar kyun nahin jata

Nida Fazli

Entering the hall with a tray of cups she is calm now, at least in front of them she has to put through the act. Sitting on the long couch Mirza Amir looks at the girl in front of him.

What life does to pure souls? Nothing but breaking those to point where they refuse to trust again. But at least she is trying, and so far, now, she is doing fantastic.

Coping up with everything is hard, he had been there, but there is a difference between them, a huge difference.

As Amaya takes her seat next to him, straitening the wrinkles of her yellow sweater, he smiled at her. Twenty-five years without a father figure, she is bound to be this strong.

There is so many things about Amaya Kareem that Mirza Amir admire about, almost everything. But today he wants to tell her something, something she should know about this cruel world.

"Amaya bacchey"

"Yes Baba?"

"Amaya losing a family makes you too scared to start another one.

When me and Saira got separated, we both faced a lot, maybe Saira faced a little too much because women in general faces a bit more.

Maybe it defines why I can never be a father to Seher.

But as I'm here now, I want to be one for you, and I'm trying for that."
