11. The Most Awaited Day

It was early Friday morning and Saqi along with his friend, Mashad, were ready to leave from their place hoping and praying that the trip would be productive for them in every way possible as it was meant to be. It was their morning flight and everything went fine till now, but none knew God’s plans. Though the flight was a little bit delayed, but Alhamdulillah, it was a safe and pleasant journey till Sadia’s place. She was eagerly waiting at the airport. Amidst all crowds, she could easily be seen. Dressed in a shalwar kameez with a dupatta, she looked quite different from others; a little bit confused and baffled, but then that was obvious on her part. “Salaam”, were her first of words and both felt really good to meet each other, though none of them knew what to talk apart from normal hi-hello, despite the fact that they both used to talk for hours on the phone. “Imagine it’s the same feeling as you would get if you have a pen-friend with whom you are in contact for quite a long time and have exchanged and shared your personal views on various important matters of life, with whom you can really dare to be yourself, and now somehow with God’s will, you are getting a chance to meet each other and finally you both make it”.

Mashad had to meet his other friend so he went to see him and both of them decided that they would meet in office during early evening as it was quite far away from the city and as Saqi & Sadia were meeting for the first time, so they should also spend some time talking and getting to know each other in person as normal friends do. Saqi wanted to finish official work and training as fast as possible else Sadia would feel that he actually came here for official purpose and he didn’t even bother spending quality time with the person with whom he used to talk for hours. Moreover, Saqi didn’t even tell Sadia about his work so she knew that he was there just for her. All Saqi knew was that he would finish his work in a day and then he would make her sit patiently and understand everything what he always wanted to, but couldn’t ever do over the phone. He was sure that as they both respect each other so much, it would be all fine when he would tell her that they should keep their relationship limited to a good and respectful friendship. He had prayed so much for that and really looked forward to the time when he would do that, the time which didn’t now seem to be so far away as it used to. But who knew, what had destiny decided for them.

.."the most awaited day" sounds apt if only viewed from sadia's side... i wished this day hd never come...
...now seems like the moment of truth is here...n both of them shud face it whtsoever.....
but the possible traumas can well be prevented if saqi can meticulously understate everythin n sadia understands his every detail...
whtever be the upshot, betn his ethical sense n her self righteousness, thers certainly goin to be a loss...either its family or love...
... neways its all up to sadia...so she shud be prudent enough to save the freship at least....

hmmmmmm salaam is the best greeting to begin with, which fetches blessings of ALLAH TALA and increases love & affection.

Its good that they finally met, but this situation may increase their problems and pain, By increasing Sadia's expectations and Saqi's responsibilities.


it'll be tough for her to accept the truth which Saqi is going to reveal and she may cut off her friendship without considering the best she got and will get from it.

And on Saqi's side, it'll be much more hurting than on saida's , as his priples,morality,ethics and responsibilities towards his parents neither let him accept Sadia's love nor lose her Friendship.

Hmmm I even see a silver Linning in the clouds.....

Saqi may feel that Y sadia should suffer because of a Bad Family Background, She too has a right to get love of a good person like Saqi's and get a good Family through saqi.

If can happen if at all Saqi can convince his parents, and they may say yes because of their kind nature and relegious bacground which teaches them kindness, empathy, love & sacrifice etc.

Anyways Hope for the Best in life of Saqi and Sadia.

thi ummid jis lamhe milne ki kal aaj aur kal
Wo pal aagaya jiska tha intezaar pal pal
najane ab bhi q hai dil me wahi hal chal
koi kab se keh raha hai apne saath chal
lekin majboor hai saqi apni hudud me har pal
najane kya hoga inke rishte ka kal aaj aur kal

yeahh ...diffrent ppl come with differnt brains , diffrent comments ... but it is really rude to judge on sbd's character jsut goin thru some 10 mins story..
...u shud be able to live her life to feel wth she feels...every girl wd do the same if this has happed to her..there is nothin arrogance on sadia's side...she jsut wants to pacify her heart..lookin for sth she heartily deserves...so better term it as "innocent desire"...
n infatuation...how many times shud i clarify...infatuation comes with some terminal attraction tht wdnt be puttin sadia in so much of expectations...this is just not logical at all...why dont ppl try to see it thru...???

At this point there is alot of pressure on both sides... They both feel the need to meet eachother though their feelings are diferent... it depends up to both of them to accept, respect and lead with what comes out of their conversation. And that depends on what kind of people they are and how the deal with feelings... time is know to show us a better light in everything in life... and however things may seem overwhelming at one point they will seem clearer in the future. But this is always very easy when I'm outside the tale and looking inside...
