Sara
Fatima’s Adoptive Mother & Doctor
A close friend of Ayaan’s mother, rescued Fatima after witnessing a tragedy in hospital
Ayaan was only five years old when his world shattered. The sterile, white walls of the hospital felt suffocating as he sat alone in the corner of the waiting room. His mother, Aisha Khan, had been taken into surgery hours ago, and now all he had was silence, a silence that gnawed at his young heart. His father, Rashid Khan, wasn’t there. Ayaan had asked the nurse, but all she said was that his father was "busy."
Busy. That word, to a five-year-old, meant nothing but abandonment. He didn't know that Rashid was in a five-star hotel room with his new lover, Zainab, who was already three months pregnant with Ayaan’s half-brother, Farhan Khan. All Ayaan understood was that the one person who should have been there—his father—was nowhere to be found.
It was Sara, his mother’s best friend, who found him that day. She knelt beside Ayaan, her eyes filled with sympathy. She had tears in her own eyes, but she tried to smile for him, tried to be strong. "Ayaan," she whispered softly, gently stroking his cheek, "you’re not alone."
In the days that followed, Ayaan stayed in Sara’s house, which was just across the street from his own. Rashid had arranged for Ayaan to live there while he "handled things." The truth was, Rashid had moved on. He was absent, spending nights with Zainab, enjoying the bliss of his new relationship while ignoring the son who had just lost his mother. For the next two years, Ayaan rarely saw his father. Their relationship was reduced to occasional phone calls, each one feeling colder and more distant. When Ayaan did hear from his father, it was only to find out that he had a new baby brother. Rashid didn’t visit, didn’t explain. It was as if Ayaan's place in the family had been forgotten, replaced by the new life his father was building.
But while Rashid drifted further away, Ayaan found solace in Sara. She was kind, gentle, and most importantly, she was there. She filled the void left by his mother’s death, comforting him during the nights when the absence of both his parents felt unbearable. Slowly, Ayaan began to see Sara as a mother figure. He would sit with her for hours, telling her about his day, and she would listen intently, always offering him a warm smile. Sara's home, filled with the warmth of her care, became Ayaan's safe haven.
One year after Ayaan’s mother’s death, Sara came home with a surprise. She gently knocked on Ayaan’s bedroom door and peeked inside. "Ayaan, I want you to meet someone," she said, her voice soft but excited.
Ayaan followed her to the living room, where a little girl stood, shyly clutching the hem of her dress. She couldn’t have been more than three years old, with dark, soulful eyes that reflected a world of innocence. "This is Fatima," Sara introduced, gently placing a hand on the girl’s shoulder. "She’s going to be staying with us. We’re a family now."
Fatima was an orphan, a child Sara had adopted after a tragic accident left her alone. Ayaan didn’t ask for details—he was too young to fully understand—but he saw the tenderness in Sara’s eyes, the same tenderness she had shown him. In that moment, something shifted in Ayaan. He wasn’t alone anymore. He had Sara, and now, he had Fatima. The three of them became inseparable, a makeshift family bound not by blood, but by the love and care Sara provided.
In those early years, it was easy for Ayaan to believe that this small, fragile family was all he needed. Even though the house across the street—his real home—remained empty, even though his father never came to visit, he found comfort in the life he shared with Sara and Fatima. They were his world now, and in that world, he was no longer the abandoned boy from the hospital, but part of something that felt like home.
But deep inside, Ayaan couldn’t help but wonder. What had happened to the family he was supposed to have? Why did his father never come home? And who was this brother, Farhan, that his father now spoke of so casually?
The questions lingered, unanswered, as Ayaan grew closer to Sara and Fatima, their bond tightening like the threads of a patchwork family that was never meant to exist.
As the months passed, Fatima became like a sister to him. They played together, laughed together, and in Sara’s eyes, they were both her children. But in the back of his mind, Ayaan knew that something was missing—a piece of his life that had been taken from him, a father who had chosen someone else. And no matter how much love he found in Sara’s home, the shadow of Rashid’s absence loomed large
Ayaan knew that something was missing—a piece of his life that had been taken from him, a father who had chosen someone else. And no matter how much love he found in Sara’s home, the shadow of Rashid’s absence loomed large. There was an unspoken void, a gap between the boy he was and the man he would become. He missed the connection that other children had with their fathers—the support, the guidance, and the sense of belonging.
Though Sara tried her best to fill that role, and Fatima became like a sister to him, Ayaan still felt the absence of a father figure gnawing at him, especially when he saw glimpses of Rashid’s life from a distance—a life filled with indulgence, wealth, and a new family that had no place for him.
Ayaan would sometimes sit by the window, looking at his father's house across the street, knowing that Rashid was never there, but in luxury hotels with **Zainab**. He often wondered what it would have been like if his mother, **Aisha**, had lived. Perhaps his father would have been different. Perhaps, he would have had the family he longed for.
But the more time passed, the more Ayaan promised himself one thing: he would never be like his father. He wouldn’t abandon people who needed him. He wouldn’t let greed or power dictate his relationships. Instead, he would grow up to be someone who cared for others, someone who was present.
**Years passed**, and as Ayaan grew older, his vow stayed with him. By the time he turned 13, he was no longer the fragile boy who had lost his mother. He had grown into a thoughtful young teenager, with a strong sense of who he didn’t want to be. Life with Sara and Fatima had molded him into someone who valued compassion and loyalty above all else.
He had also begun to develop his own interests. While Rashid, Farhan, and the rest of the family continued to pursue traditional businesses and wealth, Ayaan became fascinated by the world of technology and finance. He started reading about stocks and even stumbled upon cryptocurrency, long before it became widely known. He recognized an opportunity that few others saw, and he dived into learning everything he could.
At the same time, his love for art blossomed, influenced by his growing bond with Fatima. She had a deep appreciation for beauty, and they spent hours together exploring different forms of creativity. Ayaan admired her—not just for her striking beauty, but for the depth of her character. She was strong, kind, and intelligent. Every time he looked at her, he felt something stir in him. Fatima wasn’t just a sister figure anymore; she was someone he deeply cared for, in a way he had never expected.
As Ayaan entered adolescence, his relationship with Fatima and Sara became the most important part of his life. But even with this close-knit family, the shadow of his father still loomed in the distance. Rashid’s neglect and Zainab’s coldness never went away. But Ayaan had learned to live with it. He focused on what he had, not what he had lost, determined to forge a path that was his own.
On Ayaan's 14th birthday, a knock on the door pulled him from the peaceful reverie of his morning. It was a familiar sound, one he hadn't heard in years. He opened the door, his heart pounding with curiosity and anxiety, and found himself face to face with his father, Rashid Khan.
"Surprise!" Rashid exclaimed, a wide grin plastered across his face. The years had carved deeper lines around his eyes, but there was an unmistakable charm that still lingered. He stepped into the house, exuding an air of authority and confidence that made Ayaan's heart race, though not entirely in a good way.
“Dad?” Ayaan's voice was cautious, almost hesitant. “What are you doing here?”
“I’m back, Ayaan. I want to take you with me to Dubai. I think it’s time for you to experience a new life, away from everything that’s happened here,” Rashid said, his tone shifting to something more serious. “I want you to see the world beyond these walls, to understand my business in a way that you can appreciate it when you’re older.”
A mix of emotions swirled within Ayaan. On one hand, the thought of being close to his father, of finally having a relationship with him after years of absence, made his heart flutter. But on the other hand, the idea of leaving Sara and Fatima—the only family he had ever really known—filled him with dread.
“But… what about Sara? And Fatima?” Ayaan asked, feeling his throat tighten. The thought of leaving them behind felt like a betrayal. They had been his anchors, his support through the darkest times.
Rashid waved a dismissive hand, “They’ll be fine. You’ll be back to visit. This is an opportunity for you to learn and grow. You can’t stay here forever, Ayaan.”
Ayaan's heart sank. He wanted to believe in his father’s vision, wanted to embrace the chance to finally be part of something that resembled a family, but the thought of leaving Sara and Fatima behind was painful. They had been there for him when no one else was, and now he was expected to walk away for a chance at something uncertain.
Meanwhile, in the background, Zainab lurked in the shadows of the living room. She had always maintained a stern demeanor toward Ayaan, her discontent evident as she watched the reunion unfold. Zainab despised the idea of Ayaan being brought back into Rashid’s life, into a life that she had fought hard to establish for her own son, Farhan. To her, Ayaan was a reminder of Rashid's first marriage, a relationship that still had the potential to undermine her own plans for dominance in the family business.
As Ayaan prepared for the journey, Zainab’s unhappiness simmered beneath the surface. “Rashid, do you really think it’s a good idea to bring him into this? He’s just a child,” she interjected, her voice dripping with skepticism.
“Don’t worry, Zainab. Ayaan is ready for this. He needs to learn,” Rashid replied, his tone firm. But Zainab’s expression remained stony, and a flicker of resentment crossed her face. She feared Ayaan would overshadow Farhan and disrupt the balance of power she had worked so hard to maintain.
Despite the turmoil in his heart, Ayaan felt a flicker of excitement about what awaited him in Dubai. He had always dreamed of adventure, of exploring new horizons. But as he glanced back at Sara and Fatima, standing in the doorway with tears glistening in their eyes, he knew he was torn.
Meanwhile, Fatima’s mind raced, and determination flickered in her bright eyes. As soon as she managed to free herself from Sara’s grip, she made her way over to Rashid and Zainab, who were standing near the entrance, whispering to each other. The small girl straightened her back, her small fists clenched at her sides, and approached them with the fierce bravery only a child could muster.
“Excuse me!” Fatima declared, her voice unwavering despite her size. Rashid and Zainab paused, turning their attention to the tiny figure standing before them.
“What is it, sweetheart?” Rashid asked, trying to mask his surprise with a gentle smile.
Fatima took a deep breath, channeling all the courage she could muster. “I need to tell you something important,” she said, her eyes shining with determination. “You have to take better care of Ayaan while he’s with you in Dubai. If you don’t, you’ll have to face me!”
Zainab raised an eyebrow, her expression a mix of amusement and annoyance. “And what exactly are you going to do about it, little girl?” she said, a smirk playing at the corners of her lips.
“I may be small, but I’m strong! Ayaan is my brother, and I know he needs to be loved and looked after,” Fatima said, her voice firm, shaking off the doubt that lingered in her chest. “If you don’t treat him right, I’ll come visit you! I’ll bring my toys and make it the loudest, most chaotic visit ever! I’ll even bring a puppy! You wouldn’t want that, would you?”
Rashid chuckled softly, trying to hide the grin that threatened to break through. “I think we’d have to be very careful with all that noise, wouldn’t we?” he replied, his eyes twinkling at Fatima's fierce spirit.
Zainab, however, was less amused. “You need to remember your place, little girl. You don’t get to dictate how things are run in this family,” she snapped, crossing her arms defiantly.
Fatima didn’t waver. “I’m not trying to tell you what to do! I just want to make sure my brother is safe and happy. He deserves it after everything,” she said, her small voice filled with conviction. “If I see him sad, I’ll come back, and you won’t like that. Trust me!”
There was a brief silence as Rashid exchanged a glance with Zainab, both taken aback by Fatima's fierce protectiveness. Rashid’s heart warmed at Fatima's loyalty and bravery. “You’re a brave girl, Fatima,” he said finally. “And I promise to take good care of Ayaan. He will be treated well, just like you deserve.”
“Yeah, Fatima,” Ayaan’s voice chimed in from the car, his eyes wide as he witnessed the scene unfold. “You don’t have to worry. I’ll be okay.”
Fatima’s gaze softened, but her determination remained. “You better be, or I’ll come back and check on you. You’ll have to deal with me, Ayaan!”
With that, Fatima turned on her heels, returning to Sara’s side, her head held high, feeling proud of her small but mighty declaration. Ayaan couldn’t help but smile, knowing that even from a distance, Fatima would always be there to look out for him, just as she had always done. She used to be protective of him even when Sara parenting Ayaan
“Let’s go, Ayaan,” Rashid urged, as he gestured for his son to join him. With a heavy heart, Ayaan took one last look at Sara and Fatima. He stepped forward, caught between the thrill of a new beginning and the ache of leaving behind the family that had saved him.
As they drove away, Zainab remained silent, brooding over the potential threat Ayaan posed to her plans. In the back seat, Ayaan felt the weight of his decision settle upon him. This was a new chapter, but it was one marked with uncertainty, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that it would lead him down a path he had not anticipated.
As the car drove away, Ayaan felt a renewed sense of strength, buoyed by Fatima's fierce loyalty and love. He hoped that, no matter the distance, their bond would remain unbreakable, a shining light amidst the unknown challenges that lay ahead.
