Steem Women Club Engagement Challenge || The Most Important Man in my life? It's my Grandfather... || Club5050

Greetings from my side to everyone who are reading this post. Everybody has one person in their lives who left some unforgettable memories and a sketch of love in their hearts. Before starting the post, let me share with you all that my grandfather is no more in this world and he left us in 2015 since then it is 8 years without him. May Allah swt increase his good deeds, give him highest rank in Jannat-ul-firdous!! Aameen.

Introducing my most important man who played the most important role in my life is my grandfather Mr. Ghulam Ahmed(Late). From the very beginning when I open my eyes in this world d, dated (01-08-1994) he is the one who was tremendously in joy and had tears in his eyes as I am the elder daughter of my father and my father is the elder son of my grandfather. I was the only child that time and so you can imagine the level of happiness !. .

In the blinking of an eye, time was running so fast that it has passed one year and I am now 1 year old today.
My grandfather gathered all of his family members , friends and neighbor. call the musicians and ask them to arrange their setup at our place. I still remember he sang a song for me 'O NANHE SE FARISHTEY' . And everybody was in tears as its a bit emotional songs specially for girls as eventually they have to left the parents home and move to the new journey (Marriage ).

My grandfather arranged multiple dishes for the guest and he make sure nobody left without having a proper meal. He himself packed food for those who were in hurry and had to leave the function for some reason. The most interesting part of this event is that he ordered a 'GUITAR' size cake for me and that was an eye-opening scene for everyone there as no one did like this before.

This is also because people at that time might not be so rich or could not be able to arrange like this. Let me clear here we were also middle-class family but he arranged for me by any means through his efforts and his savings.
Finally, the cake ceremony has come to its end and the event ended happily and yes successfully as everybody appreciated his love for me and gave him good wishes for future.

As we hear,

Night passes, passes days
Life passes in this way!

It is now 4 years since I was born and its time to go to school and now i also had a cute little sister. She was only 2 years old at that time.I remember my grandfather selected the best school of that time named (KCS) KARACHI CADET SCHOOL. Me and my sister went to school daily on my grandfather's bike and our grandmother picked both of us in the off time.

In 2009, I had my first Board Examination and i was nervous to the extreme level. Although, my grandfather sat with me day and night and let me understand each and everything but this was the first time i was doing exams out of my school and everybody fears its . Before leaving for exams, I call my grandfather to tell him that I am standing infront of my examination hall and about to enter.

He whispered slowly, GOOD LUCK KOMAL, MAY ALLAH SUCCEED YOU . In addition, he advice me 'Don't attempt cheating at any cost . If you do not know the answer leave that question but do not go for cheating. What will be the maximum? you will be failed? . I will accept your failure but cheating and cheaters has no place in my heart. I promise him I will not make any cheating attempt and give my best. While ending the call, he added May Allah be with you & I know you will do your best, Allah Nigehban!

When i came back home from examination hall, I was at peace because i attempt all the questions without cheating and I was happy like I won the world!. I told him each and everything even the silly thing that I was thirsty, my pen run out of ink etc and so on. He smiled & placed his compassionate hand on my head. This makes me feel the blessed one.

As I enter my intermediate exams, my grandfather was more worry about me as he wanted to see me as a doctor and after passing this intermediate period , I was to enter my profession. So I was more focused for my future. As he selected the best school , he again selected the best college for me , named DHA DEGREE COLLEGE FOR WOMEN,PHASE 8.

I successfully pass my exams and started my practice for doctorate program. And I got good percentage to get admission in any medical college or university.

Finally, in 2014 i got admission in BDS (Bachelor of dental surgery). He was very happy for me and relax as well because his dream was to see me as a doctor. Unfortunately, this was both very happy and very disturbing moment for me. Suddenly one night, his condition was getting out of control as he was a diabettic patient we could not guess what was happening to him. But he was very active and has strong strength, he never let us know that he was going through a heart attack, even though he knew it.

My father and my 2 uncles hold grandfather and immediately rush to the hospital . Upon arrival of our local area famous hospital Chiniot general hospital, they denied to take this case and suggest us to take him to either AGHA KHAN HOSPITAL, CARDIO OR JINNAH. My father arrange a room and a doctor for my grandfather in Agha khan while my uncle arranged a room and doctor in Jinnah. When reached agha khan hospital, they started their own billing and some rubbish formalities. Not even seeing that a room is pre-booked and appointment has been set. My father got angry and he decided to go Jinnah as that was the only hope , our last hope.

In between all of this, some medication has been done to atleast control the situation. Once they reach JINNAH Hospital, a doctor immediately came and started the treatment. He told them that the patient had continuously 2 heart attack and his lungs are out of control as bronchioles are not working. He was almost unable to breathe in and out. Doctor suggest an immediate tranfer to a ventilator.

But, badluck, ventilator were not available not even a single one. Well, they arrange hand pump and start pumping him with hands but it was his last moments and Allah has some other plans for him.
Lungs, heart and stomach , all three of them stop working properly. Still, he did not failed but he tried his best to fight by the last breathe. He whisper in my uncles ear : I forgive you all , you all forgive me too and left with a smile on his face.
While I am typing, my hands are shrinking and my eyes are full of tears. This recall all the hard time I had after loosing my Grandfather!!!

At 5:00am , he left us and went back to ALLAH, From where we all come and we will be leaving to ALLAH one day!
Our home was never before like this day, 26th of january,2014. Complete silence and everybody was consoling each other. All of my family members were there and no body eat anything from morning . At 9:00pm, one of my relative came and ask us to eat something as if we do not eat anything we might get tired and sick. she ask us to eat and pray for him.
That bite was the bite like a Poison. we can not even swallow any bite.

Every year , every second and every Breath, We have not forgotten him. We always pray for him, do good deeds on his behalf so he will get rewarded. People on his funeral were appreciating him and everybody was saying that he was best and he had very good morals. Everyone seemed to have left their own. There were tears in every eye and duaa on lips.

That one person you can not think of live without them, how can one live once they left! . This is only from Allah otherwise, if it will not happen life would stop at a point and no one continue to live ! . He always told that speak truth even if you fear to loose. Do not cheat even if you fear to failed . Don't hurt anybody for your ease. Always help the poor and do not hesitate to sit with them, eat with them .

He was very kind and down to earth person. He never disappoint anybody and it is a proof that everybody was appreciated him even he was not with us. His guidance is still with us and we followed each any every single guidance with the same respect and love as we did in his presence.
Money, fame and wealth will end one day there will be no name of it. But love, care and respect lasts forever!.

Well Life goes on and no one feels the pain of death untill experiences !! . Being a Muslim we have our Emaan on this that Death is Barhaq!. May Allah swt make it easy for us on our last ride! AAMEEN
I request you all to pray for him.
