Shahzaib's POV :-

"And in exchange give me your... Sister-in-law." He said with a disgusting smirk playing on his lips.

"BASTARD!!" I slammed my hands on the table while getting up.

How dare he? Talking about my baccha like that. I walked around the table, clutching his collar as I made him stood up. Still that disgusting smile didn't vanish from his disgusting face!

"I'll kill you! How dare you talk about her like that!?" I shouted as I pushed him with full force on the ground.

"Sir! Sir! Please, stop the fight. It's frightening our guests." The manager came holding my arms as he blocked my way.

"Stay away!" I glared at the old man as he get scared and side himself.

I walk towards Abu daud, while bending down, I hold his collar again and this time he gripped my hands with his while smirking.

"So sad, is she meant this much to you?" He asked clicking his tongue between his teeth.

"Bastard, Moron, she is my family. I am warning you, any move towards her and there you'll right your own death sentence." I said while gritting my teeth as I look at him with anger visible in my eyes.

He pushed me away, while dusting his blazer as he took a seat again.

"You know, even if I like her in that way than I wouldn't be here asking this deal. Calm down Shahzaib, calm down. You know what? I will claim her but not like the abu daud you know but like the Abu daud she loves. " He said while playing with a pen in his hand and a satisfactory smile.

"Let's see, if that happens. Cause I'll not let it happen Abu daud, you are going to cry in the end. Victory is in my hand, you know why cause she is way closer to me. No one, I repeat no one will ever understand our relation." I said with a smirk.

"And About this deal, forget it. In the end you'll face nothing but defeat Even if you became faithful cause the list of your sins are much lengthier than the amount of time you have left to do good deeds. And I'll make sure for Shahnoor, I'll find the most loving and caring nature guy instead of bastards like you. Even if I had to protect her till than, I don't have any problem." I continued.

To hell! She will love him. Adjusting my attire, I took my phone and walked away with the last glance at his defeated form, with concerned written all over his face as he went in his deep thoughts.

I walk out of the restaurant as I took seat in my car. I won't lie but his every word felt a brick of truth fallen on me. The man I have met just now is little different from that Abu daud, I have this uneasy feelings that he'll do anything to shahnoor. I connected my phone to the car's system and dialed her number.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

The phone kept ringing but she isn't answering. I called again but no answer than I called again and this time she picked up.

"Assalamu alaikum baccha, where are you?" I asked.

"Uh..umm..sir, The owner of the is inside the changing room." A female said.

"May I know, who's this?" I asked.

"I am the nurse from xxxx hospital." She replied.

"Oh ok, when shahnoor is done tell her to call me." I said.

"Okay sir." She said and I cut the call.

Shahnoor must be in hospital for her therapy, I am gonna go and meet her.

I pulled my car towards the direction of hospital. As I reached there, the weather get much colder. I think it's gonna snowfall again.

I went towards the reception where the receptionist greeted me as I asked shahnoor's ward, she informed me and I went towards her ward. Standing in front of the ward, I knocked two times when I heard her soft voice saying come in.I twisted doorknob and walked in with long steps, she is standing in the hospital attire with a sky blue half sleeves t-shirt and same color pajama. Her black hips length hair were spread open on her back. She is looking nothing but a sweet little kid of her age with her innocent questioning eyes looking into mine.

'I will claim her but not like the abu daud you know but like the Abu daud she loves.' Abu daud's words ranged in my ears.

Soon I felt Myself following the path towards her, all while her eyes remained connected to mine. When I came near her, I didn't waste any more minute and wrapped my arms around her, taking her into a hug. She is so small that I needed to lift her up in order to not to bent down. Her body tensed for a while or two but than with firm hands she hold the sides of my sweater. I felt relief wash over me as I now have seen her in front of me, safe and secure.

"Shahzaib bhai, what happened?" She asked.

Shahnoor's POV :-

"Nothing, just worried." He replied as his breath tingling my ear.

"About what?" I asked.

"You." He said.

"But I am okay." I said.

"I know baccha, but there is nothing need to happen in order for me to worry about you. You are growing girl of your age, its normal for me to worry about you." He said as I felt him pressing his lips on my head and just above my ear.

"You are acting like a father." I said while giggling, He chuckle.

"I don't have problem on playing that role for you." He said.

"Shahzaib bhai, you know you can put me down." I said as he is holding me up with his arm, he is really tall.

"Oh!" He said and is about to leave me but someone cleared their throat behind Shahzaib bhai.

He broke the hug and turn around, it was Doctor Amelia standing with a notepad in her hand and a nurse beside her. Shahzaib bhai hired Doctor Amelia for me as he doesn't want me to get checked up by a male doctor, he is possessive enough. I wonder how will he control his possessiveness around my sister or does he even control it?

"Good evening sir." Dr. Amelia greeted Shahzaib bhai, let me tell you one thing this hospital is owned by Shahzaib bhai that's why everyone respects him.

Shahzaib bhai nodded and released his hands away. The nurse came towards me and made me sit on the bed. She than started preparing the syringes of three different types like last times than she inserted them in the bottles of glucose. After completing everything, she applied it in my hands and the drops started flowing from the thin transparent wire making it red as it reached in my veins. I felt little pain as it made its way in my veins but soon the pain fade away.

I saw Shahzaib bhai talking to Dr. Amelia, looking in the notepad not at her. This is something that I have noticed that he doesn't give much importance to any other woman other than my sister, she is really lucky. But she needed to observe this before everything's late.

"Ma'am, please lay down." The nurse said to me.

"No, I am okay like this." I said politely.

"Baccha, you should lay down as she is asking. It's for your own good." Shahzaib bhai said gently, I nodded and lied down.

After sometime of checking and asking me about my health, Dr. Amelia and the nurse left. Shahzaib bhai sat down next to me on the chair as he scanned my face with an unknown emotion.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Nothing, do you feel okay after this therapies?" He asked.

"A little Shahzaib bhai, it gives me little strength but I don't have energy like before in my body. My body aches, and sometimes my legs feel swollen." I said.

He smile and put his left hand on my head while stroking it gently.

"Don't worry, everything will be okay. You will be fine soon." He said, I nodded.

My eyes felt heavy like everytime, this doses makes me sleepy and I felt at peace.

"Sleepy?" He asked, I nodded.

"Than sleep, I am here. I'll wake you up once this is done." He said, I smiled and closed my eyes.

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

"-you saying the truth?" I heard farah's voice.

"Yes, I am telling you the truth. Dr. Amelia said she will face many problems in her pregnancy and it will be the worst phase of time for her. The pain will break her that time and her energy will drain to zero." This time it is Shahzaib bhai's voice.

"Ya Allah, how can it happen to my sister? What's wrong she have done to face such pain?" Farah said and I can hear her sobs, I opened my eyes slowly to find Shahzaib bhai hugging her as she cried for me.

"Farah~" I called her.

Her watery eyes met mine as she blinked her tears. Pulling herself away slowly from Shahzaib bhai, she started approaching me. I smile looking at her. She put her hand on my head with a sad smile.

"Shahno.." She called.

"A mother is supposed to take pain all over her body in order to give birth to her child, the part of herself. When a mother gives birth to a baby, seven Graves open their mouths in order to take her in as the pain is unbearable for a human but still Allah wills her to be alive and save her. I still have much time to experience such blessing of Allah, even if it comes with pain than I'll take it with honor as he tests those he loves the most." I said with a smile as a lone tear flowed down the side of my cheek.

"Look, how strong she is and you are crying." Shahzaib bhai said to farah with a smile.

"You don't need to cry over me farah, be happy in your life cause you got Shahzaib bhai to take care of your worries." I said looking at her, she kissed on my forehead before wiping her tears.

"Should we go home now?" She asked, I nodded.

After Dr. Amelia came and checked me one last time, she changed my medicines and prescribed new doses. I than wore my niqab with the help of farah cause I still feel a little drowsy. Ya Allah, how am I going to attend daud's birthday party like this? I think I should go a little late after taking one more nap.

Shahzaib bhai and farah dropped me home in their car, I insist them to come in but Shahzaib bhai said he had some work to take care of. So farah helped me walk in, ammi met farah and they both talked for some minutes before Shahzaib bhai called farah. Now I am in my room, feeling a little better and a little sleepy.

"You wanna take bath?" Ammi asked as she enters in the room.

"No, not right now. I'll take it before getting ready for the night's event." I said laying down.

"Okay, take a nap than. I'll do the chores." She replied, I nodded and closed my eyes.

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

"You done, you should hurry. Its 8:20 already, when will you get ready?" Ammi asked sitting on the bed as she cuts the vegetables.

I stood up from the prayer mat, after folding it, I kept it on table. I walk towards Ammi and sat in front of her.

"Ammi.." I called her, she hummed in response.

"I don't have any dress to wear, what should I do?" I asked, she look at me while biting her lower lip as she thought for a while.

"It will be rude if you don't attend it cause your friend came home and asked you to attend it," She said, I nodded.

"Just wear any new salwar - kameez, we can't do anything bete." She said sighing.

I sighed and walked towards my closet, I went through it when I found a simple sky blue long kurta and Pakistani pajama with same color dupatta. It's very simple but new one, I haven't wear it yet. My Mamu's daughter made this for me when we were in India. I have the silver sandals as well from farah's wedding.

I have already taken bath but my hair isn't dry yet. I went in the bathroom than changed into the dress. I wore some silver bangles in my right hand and in left one a simple watch. I don't have mood to do any makeup but still I have to do it, So I quickly applied primer, concealer than little compact and didn't applied any eyeshadow but thick eyeliner which actually defined my dark green eyes as if I am wearing lenses, After applying little blush, I applied lipstick in ombre style peach and pink. I wore simple tops in my ear than started drying my hair, I than made big curly waves of them and done.

I walked out of the bathroom, Ammi looked at me and smile.

"Mashallah, may Allah save you from evil eyes." She said.

"Jazakallah ammi." I said with a smile than walk towards the desk where my niqab is kept.

I quickly wore my niqab and took my handbag. I hugged ammi, bidding my farewell than walked out of the house. I already called a cab online, So it came in less than 10 minutes. I sat inside the cab as the driver asked for the destination, I told him the address of the venue. After some 15 minutes, I reached at the venue. Getting out of the cab, I went inside. It is really a beautiful place, mostly made of glass and marble. It is decorated with lights and white lilies.

"May I help you ma'am?" A lady came in a black shirt and black short skirt with a batch attach over the shirt.

"Uh.. Yeah, I am the guest of Mr. Abu daud." I said feeling a little nervous, I never attended such big events.

"Oh, you are Mr. Abu daud's guest. This way ma'am." She gesture her hand towards right with a smile.

"Umm...but please can you first tell me the way to restroom?" I asked her.

"Of course, please follow me." She said while walking towards the left.

I followed her and soon reached at the restroom.

"Here it is ma'am." She said.

"Thank you, I'll come quickly after removing my niqab. Can you wait here for me? As I don't know the direction." I asked being as polite as possible.

"It's okay ma'am, take your time." She said with a smile.

I thanked her and walked into the restroom. It is huge with white marble tiles cover the floor and walls than a huge rectangular mirror attached to the left wall with joined five sinks also made of marbles. I quickly removed my niqab than folded it neatly and put it in my handbag, thankfully it is quite big for me to keep my niqab in it. I open my hair and let them fall on my back. I took my dupatta and spread it on my shoulders, also covering my head half way with it. After taking a last glance at the mirror, I walked out to find the same girl waiting patiently for me.

"Sorry, if I took much of your time." I said with a nervous smile.

"No, you didn't. Let me escort you to Mr. Ghazi." She said, I nodded.

I followed her to the venue, she greeted me last time and left. I look around at the decorations which is so marvelous, so beautiful. Everything here speaks wealth and honestly, I find myself out of the place. The women's were wearing short and expensive dresses, whereas the mens were wearing expensive suits. My attire is too simple, I bite my inner cheek to suppress the emotions. My eyes finally caught the sight of birthday boy, Abu daud. He is standing with some mens while holding a glass of I guess...wine. He's face have a scowl, no trace of happiness as he continued to listen to these man's talk.

Ya Allah, how should I go there? What if I disturbed them by interfering there? I bite my lower as I look around. My eyes met with a man's eyes, who's looking in his 30's maybe. He is looking at me, no wait! Mostly checking me out. I averted my gaze to look at Daud, Alhamdulillah! This time his eyes met mine and his expression changed into happy one,

I smile back and waved at him.

He said something to the other mens and started approaching towards me. I am so relieved right now. Before he can approach, the same man who is staring at me came in front of me with a stupid smile on his face. I look at him while furrowing my brows.

"Hi miss.." He said, in a way asking my name while raising his one brow.

"Who are you Uncle?" I said narrowing my eyes, he laughed.

"Sure tigress, well my name is james shern." He said.

"So, what do I do?" I asked not getting any interest.

"Well, wanna dance?" He asked.

"Lo-"

"She's with me." Before I could answer, daud cut me off while glaring at the man.
