....................💔💔💔💔💔💔💔....................

Murad was working on a file, he was in the office alone because he had been working in the fraud and cheating case.

It's been 4 days since their confrontation and Murad was more determined to win her back.

His father, brother, and chacho took leave because they are stressed about everything going on for months. Adams was going back and Mannat was avoiding him again.

He sighed as he thought about her, he knew that she will pull another stunt but he was prepared. He will do anything to stop her.

Umer and Jannat were also not happy about her going but they keep silent. Murad understands their emotions but he can't let her go.

He went to his parents and begged on his knees to stop her, but they didn't listen to him. That's why he was going to take the matter into his hand.

Today he was going to confess his love for her and he will kneel In front of her if he has to.

He picked his phone up and called someone with a small smile on his face.

"Hello... Yes... I want your best red roses and white roses and orchard bouquet... Yeah, I need them in an hour... Ok... Also, I need a special chocolate surprise box... But please make sure there is nothing in there with butter or cream... Yeah ok... Bye,"

He smiled as he leaned in his chair, he looked at the clock and sighed because he still had some work to do.

He will finish this in an hour and then he will go home and woo his woman and take a week off to spend with her and show her what being loved by someone feel like.

"Come on Murad... Let's do some work...,"

He smiles as he started working but still with her on his mind.

..........

Meanwhile in Hamdani House

Mannat wheeled the bag toward the living room, where her family was sitting. He was not there and she was happy, it looks like she was running maybe that's what she is doing.

She was running away from this pain and heartbreak, she can't be his rebound and she won't give him the power to destroy her again.

She greeted Shameen beghum and Ramsha who came to meet her mother, Mannat, and Adam before they go.

Adam and Hadiya beghum was also talking with Shafiq Sahab and Mirza Sahab.

Mirza Sahab moved toward her and hugged her kissing her head, followed by Shafiq Sahab who pulled away to look at her.

"Don't hesitate to call us... We are just one call away... You will always have us with you... We understand you need time and space but you will always have a home back here... With us... Remember that,"

"I will...,"

She gives a teary smile to him as she hugged him, he was another father figure in her life that she will always respect and honor.

Jannat and Umer were going with them to drop them off. She greeted her Baba and bade papa but then moved toward Shameen beghum to squeeze her hand.

"Take care of yourself... Call me every day... I will miss you baby...,"

"I will too Mama... But this is better for everyone... Please give these to him... I have already signed them... Told him that I freed him from everything, my love, my burden, and my wait... He didn't have anyone waiting now... He didn't have anyone Muntazir for him...,"

Shameen beghum cried as she holds the envelope from her that had the divorce papers.

They all knew about Mannat decision and they respect it even when their hearts didn't.

She didn't want it to end but if it makes her daughter happy then she will let it go.

Shameen beghum nodded as she looked at Mannat with love and adoration but a proud glint in her eyes.

"Choose what your heart what Mannat... Follow it... If it wanted you to give in... Then don't hesitate baby... Go with the flow...,"

Mannat understands her words and nodded with a smile but then looked away when her siblings got her attention.

"Come on Mannat... We are getting late,"

Umer and Jannat called her as they stood side by side looking at her with hurt and pain. She knew they are not happy but she wanted to do this.

She nodded as she looked at the house she spends all her life and with a last teary smile, she went out, leaving her family crying.

"Goodbye... We will meet soon... This is not the end... If it's not happy then it's not ending...,"

She nodded at her Baba words who had tears on his face and agony in his heart but he was acting strong for her.

She turned around the last time to wave at her family, as she looked at the sky mumbling the words.

"YOU ARE FREE NOW MURAD HAMDANI... You are free... I am freeing you from this wait... This pain... My love...you are free,"

With that, she sat in the car with her twin hugging her as they cried silently and Mannat went toward her new journey as Murad didn't know about it and she didn't want him to know.

.............

Murad sighed as he leaned back on the chair, his back was stiff and his hand tired but he wanted to do the majority of work to finish it off.

He looked at the wall clock to see it's been two hours since he was working and he was finally free.

His phone rings indicating that he got a message, he smiled thinking that Mannat surprise arrived.

He picks it up and opens the message to tell them that he will receive them himself but when he read the message he stood up quickly.

"No... No... It's not happening... Shit...,"

He picked his car keys and wallet and dashed toward the door leaving the office and running after than Usain bolt.

He started the car and drive towards the airport without caring about the speed limit and traffic because he had to reach there.

The words from that message flashed in front of his eyes and he increases the speed while hitting the steering wheel.

"DAMNIT Mannat... I will not leave you... You will pay for this stunt after I got my hands on you woman... She will be the death of me,"

The message was sent to him by a private number and it's had a picture of Mannat attached as she was sitting in the waiting lounge of the airport with her small bag reading magazine. The message reads:

'You have one hour to stop this... She is going today... Come and let her or stay and let her go...'

"Please... Please Allah miyan, please... Don't take her away... please help me,"

The message was clear and he was scared to death, he didn't think that it might be a prank or something and he should call his mother because he drives like a bat out of hell.

He cried and drive with blurry vision and broken heart as he prayed for one last chance to have her, to love her, and to get her.

.......

It's been two hours since they picked Daima and came to the airport.

They are sitting in the waiting room when Umer friend Usman saw them and made them wait in the VIP lounge.

Hadiya beghum went to the bathroom while umer and Jannat were dragged by Daima god knows where and Adam was also missing.

Jannat sat on the waiting lounge as she read the magazine and waiting for the announcement.

She was looking at the magazine but her mind was lost somewhere. She was thinking about him, the man she loved and leaving now.

"Why they all always left me alone every time... And why I am thinking about him again and again... I made my choice then why this stupid heart is going crazy with the thought of leaving my family, my homeland, and him,"

"But I have to do this... I have to do this for myself and I need to do this,"

She gulped a lump of emotions in her throat and looked down at the magazine but then she got startled. She thought she heard him, but how can be that possible.

"I have gone crazy... Stop thinking about him Mannat... Let him go,"

"Mannat!!!"

She was looking at the magazine but turned around in lighting speed and looked at him with wide eyes.

He was standing there breathing heavily as she saw his tear-stained face and red eyes and a shiver went down her spine.

She was not dreaming, was she? She can't. She just sat there as a gasp left her mouth with his name.

"Murad...,"

.............

Murad drove with everything he had, he reached Lahore airport within 30 minutes that was a record because the main drive to the airport and city is one hour long.

He parked his new car and ran inside to find her. He went to the information desk and asked the lady who was busy eyeing him.

"Excuse me... The flight for Canada... Is the plane boarded?"

The lady keeps looking at him like she never saw a man and he had enough of her unprofessionalism and banged his hand on the desk to get her attention.

"Is the flight for Canada gone or not?"

"No sir... I... It's not gone...,"

"The waiting lounge? Where is it?"

"Sorry sir but you can't go there... If you have a visa and passport... Show me your ticket and I will guide you...,"

Murad was so close to show the girl her place, she was openly flirting and he wanted to kill himself.

"I don't have that... I have to meet my family... My wife is going and I wanted to meet her...,"

The girl narrowed her eyes at him and her tone turned offensive.

"Sorry, sir we can't let you go... Please call them or anything...,"

"You think I didn't try that... I called everyone... Every single one of them but there is no network... Their phones are either switched off or unreachable... Stupid rules...,"

Murad cursed as he backed away, he knew that talking was fruitless.

He was pulling his hair as he looked at the waiting lounge door, he can run but he will create a scene and it will not help his case.

He sighed in defeat as he leaned against the wall with fresh hot tears burning in his eyes and tears clogging his throat, he was lost.

He thought that he will get her back but he lost. He was defeated by one woman who he vowed to never love but fell in love with.

"I lost... I don't want to... But I did... I am sorry... I am sorry Mannat...,"

"Murad Bhai...,"

He was looking miserable as he looked upward in confusion but the man in front of him know him.

"Murad Hamdani right?"

"Yeah... I am sorry I didn't recognize you,"

Murad wiped his eyes but his pain and defeat were clear in his eyes. The man smiled at him and introduce himself.

"I am Usman Ali... I am umer friend... I am the main head operation officer here... Are you ok? You didn't look fine...,"

"No... I just came for something but I am going back...,"

Usman frowned at him as he holds Murad's arm who looked so tired.

"Oh... Okay... I thought you came to see your family off... I just leave them in the waiting lounge...,"

The words sound like music to Murad's ears as he looked at Usman in shock and relief mixed emotions.

"You know where are they?"

"Umm... Yeah, I mean yes...,"

Usman looked at Murad like he is crazy because now grinning like the Cheshire cat but Murad didn't mind if people called him mad or crazy because he is indeed crazy for his woman.

"Please take me to them... Please...,"

"Yeah... Of course, follow me please...,"

Murad chuckled as he walked with Usman but soon Usman got a call on his Walkie talkie telling him to report.

"Sorry, Bhai... I had to go... But they are sitting there in lounge number 3... You will find them there... Good to see... You,"

Usman told him but he was long gone, Murad yelled 'thank you' to him over his shoulder and ran towards his destination.

He saw lounge number 2 and started calling Mannat name, he ignored weird looks from people and keep calling her name.

He turned and saw her, sitting alone with a magazine, and his breath hitched in his throat.

He was already breathing heavily but she had a stronghold on him and he lost all control of his body when he saw her.

"Mannat...,"

He moved toward her and after a good few feet, he whispered her name that got her attention as she looked at him in shock.

She gasped as she looked at him and he tried to smile but the tear of happiness left his eyes as she called his name.

"Murad...,"

She stood up and looked at him like he is a ghost and she can't believe it.

He moved toward her and when he was close enough he fell on his knees in front of her and hugged her waist.

Putting his face in her stomach, he cried in pain, in anger, in relief, and most of all in fear.

All his way, he prayed that she stay and didn't go. Now feeling her in front of him and knowing she was still here cause a strong emotion to hold him.

Mannat was stunt at her place as she looked at him who was kneeling before her and crying like a kid.

She put her hand on his hair and pulled his face away but he didn't let her go.

"Murad... Murad!!! What happened? Get up... Please don't kneel...,"

He shook his head as he tightens his hold on her and she was shocked to see him like this. The man who was the reason for her tears and pain was on his knees and crying.

"No... N...nooo... You will... Leave me... No, I will not... Let you go... Never,"

Mannat was shocked at his words as she pulled away to look at him, he was still holding her but looking upward at her.

"Please Murad... Get up... It's so awkward...,"

"No... You are leaving me because I hurt you but I wanted to show you that a man like me can love you too... That a king only bows before his queen and for me... You are my queen... I love you Mannat please don't go... Please,"

Mannat gasped at his words, she shook her head as she looked at him with teary eyes and a red face.

"Stand up Murad... You don't love me... You just love the idea of loving me... I can't let you hurt me again... I can't be your rebound...,"

He stood up and hold her arms while Mannat cursed her family, where are they when you need them.

"You are not anyone's rebound... You are my wife... The sole owner of me, my love, my heart and soul... just give me a chance woman... I tried my best to prove myself but you are just running away as I did years ago... I want to be with you and only you... It's simple as complicated as that,"

Mannat closed her eyes because her walls are crumbling, they are always weak in his presence.

This is why she was going, she knew he was speaking the truth but she can't find it in her heart to again give him the power to hurt her.

"Please don't say that... You don't love me...,"

"stop saying that!!! Stop... I know what I feel... I was a fool to abandon everything... I was stupid to hurt you but I had to learn my lesson... I have endured everything you are giving me because I know you are hurt too and I am ready for more... But not this... Never this... I know you love me Mannat... You are doing this because I asked for this freedom but now I don't want it...,"

"Well, news flash... now I want it... I don't want you... I don't love you so you can sign those papers and submit them... Please go now...,"

"Then look me in the eyes and said that... Said that you don't love me anymore and I will go... But I want your honesty Mannat... Don't you dare lie,"

Murad looked at her and spoke sternly while Mannat looked anywhere but him.

But then she gulped and look him directly in his eyes and said those words.

"I don't love you anymore... I don't want this... I freed you now do the same and let me go...,"

"Liar...,"

Mannat looked shocked at him and he had a wide grin on his face. Mannat just shook her head at him and moved away but his hold didn't loosen.

"You are crazy... Leave me, Murad...,"

"YES!!! I am crazy for you... And I am not leaving you Mannat... Just tell me why did you do this? Why are you doing this to us?"

She pushed him away as he stumbled but stood back to look at him who was glaring at him.

"I did nothing... You want this... So I give you this... Now leave me alone... Sign those divorce paper and leave me...,"

She was going to say further but he paced his hand on her lips to stop her, she looked at him with wide eyes. He pulled away and again hold her.

"Don't say divorce and US together in one sentence... I told you already... You will be free from this relation after I die or you die... So stop this nonsense,"

She was still shocked by the sudden action and look at him like he is an alien, a small smile grace his face.

"Did you touch me in public?"

"Well there is no one here... And if you again do the same mistake I will not hesitate to repeat my action,"

She glared at him but when he caressed her cheeks she closed her eyes. It's a moment of weakness for her and he put his forehead on her.

A tear escapes his eye and fell on her cheek that startled Mannat as she looked at him who had pain in his eyes.

"Why are you doing this Mannat? Just tell me the truth... Please,"

She closed her eyes but her heart betrayed her, she didn't want to open up but she did.

"I know everything...,"

Murad frowned as he looked at her with confusion but soon shocked replaced that emotion.

"What are you saying, Mannat?"

"I know about Sanam Truth... I know about everything"

"How?"

He can't speak further because of shock and she looked at his chest as she told him the truth.

"She told me a little bit the day you asked for divorce... But after she left I thought it was my fault... Then your accident happened... Sanam heard about it and called... That's when she told me everything... I know everything...,"

Mannat didn't look upward because she was ashamed but also relieved to speak about it.

Murad can't believe his ears, he didn't contact Sanam after her stunt but he knew that she was happy with her fiancée and he also helped them financially being an anonymous person.

Knowing that Mannat knows the truth and still hurt him was painful even when he deserves it but he needed answers.

"You know and you still do that with me? Why Mannat? Please tell me... Please open up...,"

"I was confused ok... I was confused and hurt...,"

"Confused about what...,"
