NIKAH,TALAAQ, MOHABBAT, NIKAH - 2
PART TWO
A little flashback before we come to the part you are waiting for ☺
There was something very peculiar about Usman, He was not very fond of sharing his problems with others, always tried hard to keep his emotions in check, Didn't wanted to be exposed, Hated being vulnerable, was a very private person. Ali meant a lot for Usman too, he was a brother, his family was a second family to him and his wish... he considered it as his duty to fulfill. While this all was going on, in starting 90's Usman father was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, His venture on the Business was on the verge of crumbling, his brothers were going through their teen "experiences" and complaints from people were common , be it a Mohalla fight or cricket matches,His teen brothers were there without absent, and that all complaints came to him. Usman thought He could handle all of this, He chooses not to open himself up, He chooses not to be vulnerable, He had experienced and saw people misusing the trust, It was his resolve to not to betrayed again.
Now, this was 27th of October 1991, this was the day when Usman agreed to meet Ghazala. Usman never had to act like an outsider in Ali's house as Hafsa Aunty always used to say she has Alhamdulillah 3 sons, Ali, Osama and Usman. But today was different, Usman hesitated to come inside and in the meanwhile, Ghazala had no idea about any of this, Her eyes and nose were red from weeping, she knew she shouldn't weep, Allah SWT loved her father very much and that is why Allah called him. But Heart is Heart, Time passes but the memory remains.
She decided to spend more time with her cousins and in household chores, she was sitting in the verandah with, with firdous and Maimoona, They were picking up pebbles from the rice. Maimoona was the housemaid but she was treated no less than the daughter of the house.
Usman & Ali came and sat beside Hafsa Aunty, Ghazala didn't pay any attention just kept the sliding dupatta over her head, that's that for that day.
There was a Tsunami of all types of thoughts in Usman's mind, He was so confused , he analyzed all the outcomes, permutations and combinations of the situations, whether to marry or not, whether to take care of the ailing father or teen brothers and all this from where when all the money which he borrowed for that little business was on verge of collapsing but there was Ghazala!
Usman tried hard but couldn't keep her out of his head, how beautiful she was, her eemaan <3
Usman choose to complete his Half Deen, Ghazala's family had no issues with it as they trusted Hafsa's family much and if they selected a guy then He must be a good one, 6th January was the day when they both got married. This was a whole new experience for Ghazala, Her second ammi was a typical Saas, politics, and plotting started the day she entered the house. Ghazala was 17 when she was married and at that time there were no Ekta kapoor serials to learn the saas counter-attack!
It was not a good start, and the habit of Usman not sharing things were going to cost a fortune. Usman was broke, He didn't have money to continue his business, The last order he got from Kolkata, he didn't even have the money to Buy a ticket to travel to Kolkata, but he had always been an experienced poor, all he needed for travelling was a paper, novel and 20Rs to offer to T.T.E and he could go by sleeping on the floor between births.
What Usman felt can't be expressed or understood by everyone but what was externally visible that, That practising Young Muslimah Ghazala was suffering a lot too, and guess what she had no idea what was wrong, she increased Nawafils, she doubted if there was anyone else, but more she tried the more It went away.
Usman had enough of Backbitings from her mom, Ailing father, Collapsed business, Qarza of people, Irresponsible brothers and obviously he avoided Ali most of the time as Ali had no idea about the Usman' internal affairs but Ghazala's condition was not hidden, Somewhere down his heart Ali began to regret it.
And when all this was going on, there came the baby Yahya <3 Ghazala gave birth to Healthy Baby and Usman was extra delighted, the boy was a true photocopy of Usman except the child was fair Colour was of Ghazala and Naqsha was of Usman. Usman took the baby boy in his hand and he decided something and what he was about to do was going to affect many lives.
Usman left for Delhi Soon to make use of his law studies, he felt he should never have listened to his heart and spent money on business.
Ghazala couldn't take any more of the continuous mental and emotional attacks, He confronted Usman what's gonna be of them, It was too late for Usman to realize that apart from other responsibilities he had on his shoulders, there are two more who deserved special attention, love and care from him. Usman asked Ghazala to stay at her khala's house, with a promise that he will be a regular visitor which he knew he won't be able to keep.
Now that was the start of Ghazala's Struggle, She was a true Muslimah, yet she was all alone, family members started to stay away, even Ali and Hafsa showed pity but nobody did anything for her. Ghazala was very determined to make yahya a ticket to her Jannah. She wanted to educate him in both worldly and World here after affairs, she took a school job, rented a house in city,Asked her mother to come live with her, Trio Yahya,Ghazala and her Ammi were together, she didn't had money to send her kid to madrasah, but Alhamdulillah,she herself was very knowledgable and a student of deen, she took the responsibility of educating yahya.
There were many calamities in her life, how hard it is for a women in her early 20s with a kid, but she was happy with Allah, Yahya was her little joy, she wanted to dedicate her life in bringing out a good muslim out of Yahya.Yahya was going to be 7 and he already finished Quran and was good in studies, came 1st in class 1 and 2 both.
Allah SWT plans can't be understood by everyone, if people would, they would cry their heart out. It was March end of 2000 when Usman came to Ghazala's school, he had something to talk about, Ghazala wanted to ask a lot of questions, wanted to be with the man who married her, wanted to cry her heart out hiding her face in his chest, but what awaited was going to take whatever little she had left.
Usman wanted a divorce from Ghazala...
I won't be narrating what happened with Usman over these years as he is the character who was already judged by 100s of people already, so if you are gonna judge him too, it won't be affecting him anymore.
Ghazala didn't believed anything, the state which she was in, i can't do justice if i tried explaining it. All which mattered was Usman for the first time in his life asked his child Yahya "Beta, Apni Ammi ko bolna mujhe muaaf kar dein" ("Son, Tell your mom to forgive me") . As if Yahya Understood anything, he was happy that Even he has a father, he always was curious when he saw his batchmates coming to school with their fathers but there was no one to show up with him. Yahya had a Marlboro Chocolate in his hand and Usman asking for this favour and Ghazala standing nearby holding Yahya's little hand, the patience was at the extreme, she wasn't ready to take anymore. But All talkings failed and it was April 20, they were divorced. Yahya was to stay with his Ammi.
