KARACHI:
Twenty-six-year-old Wajahat used to like Rafia, who was the daughter of his uncle, Mubashir Aijaz, since childhood. He had asked his mother to send a dress and ring to his fiancé on Eid.
According to the mother, Wajahat went with her and his sister to the market to buy gifts for Rafia on the day of his death. “He bought everything with so much love and affection,” Wajahat’s mother shared while wiping the tears on her grey scarf. “My son was so happy.”
Wajahat’s only sister, Sidra, recalled how her brother, who was two years older than her, was her best friend and helped her in everything. “Bhai jan and I did everything together from learning to ride bicycles, driving cars and playing to getting our marriages fixed,” she said. “Our weddings were fixed in December this year.” She added that now that he has left her alone, they cannot get married on the same day.
“He was ready to help anyone any time even when things were beyond his reach,” she said, sitting outside their house.
Wajahat’s aunt, Tanzeem Fatima, remembered him as the hero of the family who was single-handedly taking care of everything at home.
