Written by Zainab Hayat The night was dark and cold. The wind howled outside the window like a wounded animal. Rain lashed against the glass pane with a relentless rhythm. Inside the dimly lit room sat a man with a heavy heart. His name was Qalb e Momin. He held a calligraphy pen in his trembling hand. The ink pot was open. The black ink shimmered under the yellow light of the lamp. He stared at the blank white paper. It stared back at him. It was a void waiting to be filled. Momin felt a storm raging inside his soul. He had everything the world could offer to a man. He had fame and wealth and beauty. Yet he felt entirely empty. It was a strange emptiness that no luxury could fill. He felt like a traveler who had lost his map in the middle of a vast desert. He dipped the pen into the ink. He wanted to write something profound. He wanted to write something that would silence the noise in his head. But his hand refused to move. He felt paralyzed by his own arrogance. He had spent his life chasing the applause of the people. He had forgotten the silence of the Creator. The story of his life was a tapestry of colors that were fading fast. He was a filmmaker by profession. He created illusions for a living. He made people believe in lies. He sold dreams that were made of glass. But tonight the glass was cracking. Tonight the illusion was breaking. He remembered his grandfather. The old man was a calligrapher. He used to say that the beauty of the word lies in the intention of the writer. He used to say that all knowledge begins with a single letter. That letter is the straight path. That letter is the connection between the heavens and the earth. That letter is Alif. Momin closed his eyes and saw the face of his grandfather. He saw the white beard and the gentle eyes. He heard the soft scratch of the bamboo pen on the paper. The memory was painful. It reminded him of a time when he was pure. It reminded him of a time when he did not care about the approval of the world. Far away in a small house lived a girl named Momina. She was fixing the hem of her old dupatta. Her fingers were sore from needlework. She was tired. Her eyes were red from crying. She was struggling to support her family. Her life was a constant battle for survival. She did not have the luxury of art. She did not have the time for philosophy. She only knew the harsh reality of hunger and bills. Yet she had something Momin did not have. She had faith. She had a heart that could weep for others. She had a connection with the divine that remained broken but existent. She looked out the window at the rain. She wondered if God was crying with her. She wondered if there was a purpose to her pain. She felt like a character in a tragedy written by a cruel writer. But she kept moving forward. She kept walking on the path of thorns because she had no other choice. Fate brought these two broken souls together. It was not a meeting of romance. It was a collision of two different worlds. They met on the set of a film. Momin was the director who demanded perfection. Momina was the extra who needed money. He looked at her with disdain. He saw her poverty and her desperation. She looked at him with pity. She saw his pride and his loneliness. They were mirrors reflecting the truth to each other. Momin yelled at her for a mistake. She stood there silently. Her silence was louder than his shouting.
