Meaning of the quotes in picture☝️:

Killing this side is yours,

killing every way,

We are not crazy,

Love doesn't happen, love tests..

From Someone's eyes, someone's words, someone's desire, someone's habit..

Third person's POV :-

"Is he alright?" Shahzaib asked Dr. Moin.

"Yeah, he is stable now. We have to keep him under observation for the night than only we can discharge him." Dr. Moin explained, shahzaib nodded and Dr. Moin took his leave.

"Bhai, here's the medicine. How's uncle?" Firoz asked in shaky voice.

Shahzaib knew his little brother has shaken from inside, he got afraid by the sight infront of him. Shahzaib pulled him into brotherly hug, patting his back.

"Don't worry bacche (kid), he will be alright." Shahzaib said, stroking firoz's head with his left hand. He knew firoz is still young boy to handle out such situations, doesn't matter how much strong he shows himself as third in command.

"I thought *takes deep breath* he left us." Firoz said as a lone tear escape through his big doe eyes.

"He is strong man firoz, inshallah nothing will happen." Shahzaib said, breaking the hug and holding on firoz's shoulders.

"Bacche..he is alright, don't you worry." Shahzaib tried to reassure him.

"I.. don't want to be alone bhai." Firoz said, fresh tears started flowing down.

"We are here for you, why did you thought of something like this? I am never leaving you alone. You are my chota bhai (younger brother), how can you leave you meri jaan (my life)." Shahzaib said, concerning over the young male's messed form.

. . . . . . . .

"Aunty please, get your self together. Uncle will be alright." Shahnoor said, giving Mrs. Jamila a glass of water.

Mrs. Jamila slightly pushed it, shaking her head in negative as tears won't stop coming out from her red eyes.

"How can I Shahnoor? Didn't you see raees sahab's body on the floor *break downs again* so lifeless...* Mrs. Jamila cried out.

Shahnoor quickly hugged her, she too can't stop her tears now. Remembering the moments that happened just hours ago. When her and Shahzaib's intimate moment got broked by the loud banging on their door. Shahzaib quickly walked towards it and opened it, saw Mrs. Jamila in messed up state. On asking what happened? Mrs. Jamila said that Mr. Raees fainted in their room. Soon everyone went into Mr. Raees's room, they tried to wake him up but he wasn't responding. His body was covered in sweat and breathing almost stopped, the two males took him to the hospital not allowing the ladies to come with them because of late night.

"Firoz bhai.." Shahnoor whispered, looking at the languid form of Firoz.

Hearing firoz's name Mrs. Jamila look towards him and quickly walked up to him.

"Firoz..firoz.. how's your uncle?" Mrs. Jamila asked, sobbing.

"He is..he..had went through a heart attack." Firoz said, with dull eyes and dry mouth.

"Ya Allah.." Mrs. Jamila backed away, Shahnoor and firoz quickly hold her on place.

"Aunty please, don't worry he will be alright." Firoz said.

"How can he?? He was so..happy for our daughter." Mrs. Jamila said as firoz and Shahnoor helped her sitting on the sofa.

"Dr. Moin said uncle went for a check up last week, and he wasn't well since than." Firoz said.

"But he never told me anything.. no symptoms at all like last time." Mrs. Jamila said.

"Last time?" Shahnoor asked.

"This is the second time uncle had heart attack." Firoz said, Shahnoor gasped at the information.

'Ya Allah, please make him healthy and fit again..' Shahnoor prayed in her heart.

"Is your bhai still in the hospital?" Shahnoor asked.

"He will stay there until uncle gets discharged." Firoz said.

. . . . . . . .

"Yeah, she just slept. She wasn't willing to take any rest." Shahnoor said on the phone to shahzaib.

"Humsafar jaan se pyaare hote hain, koi unki jagah nahi le sakta. (Companions are dear to life, no one can take their place.)" Shahzaib said, making Shahnoor heartbeat faster.

"Am..I..also dear to-"

"Meri jaan se ziyada pyari ho tum mujhe, Allah naa kare..tumhare bagair nahi jee sakta. (You are more dear to me than my life, Allah forbid.. I cannot live without you.)" Shahzaib cut off Shahnoor by the most beautiful answer.

After 1 Hour of talking, the night came to an end. The soulful voice of Adhaan echoed, making Shahnoor to look at the time.

4:55 am

"Its fajr now, go pray and I have a favour to ask you.." Shahzaib said.

"Hmm..ask.." Shahnoor replied.

"After namaz, please go to firoz. He must be awake and all alone. He won't spit it out but he is scared bachha..look after him." Shahzaib said, melting shahnoor.

"Don't worry I'll check him, you take care of yourself and call me whenever you can."

Shahnoor's POV :-

He was right, firoz bhai is all up. I walked towards him, engrossed in his thoughts firoz bhai didn't look at me. I walked towards him and sat on the large sofa beside him that is on the 3rd floor.

"Firoz bhai.." I called.

"Hmm.." he hummed on my voice.

"Haven't you prayed yet?" I asked, looking at him but he is looking somewhere far as if my voice only can be heard but he didn't bother to talk.

Silence..

"Firoz bhai.." I called again.

"Hmm.." Again same response.

I slowly put my right hand on his left one. His hand is so cold, I look at him and this time he look towards our hands. Turning his hand upside, he intervined our fingers together.

"Firoz bhai.." I called again.

This time he look towards me with his glossy red eyes.

"Everything will be okay.." I reassure him, he thought for awhile and nodded.

"Every..*clearing throat* everything needs to be okay shahno, or else I won't be able to take it." He said, fresh sets of tears started flowing down his cheeks.

"Don't say things like this bhai, why are you thinking so negative?" I asked with much sadness.

"I am afraid of being alone..it scares me shahno, it reminds me of my past... I don't want to live like that alone.." He said, eyes again looking down at the floor.

"Bha-"

"I was 11 years old when my parents.. died in car accident..*takes deep breath* I didn't had anyone besides them but my uncle and aunty who took my shares of house and company which dad left in my name. I was small so I didn't knew much about all that but started to understand everything when they left me in an orphanage and never came back. I had an introvert personality back than, never got together with anyone and the elder boys in the orphanage used to bully me every now and then but I tried to ignore them. After two years of patience and enduring, Their ragging took another place high when they forced me to take drugs, I pushed them with all the force I had and ran to our dorm guard and told him everything. The guard informed the head of the orphanage about it and they throw out the three boys as they were capable enough to live on. After some days, in the silent evening I went out of orphanage for a walk but by the street I saw the three boys who bullied me. I got scared and was about to walk back but one of them hold my shoulder and jerked me down. They all were so angry and started beating me. I tried to walk away but they didn't gave me any chance to save myself. Again one of them took out a small plastic bag, full of drugs and pushed me to the wall, forced me to take it but I tried to push it away yet I didn't had any energy left. It slowly started getting dark, a car halted towards the end of the alley. Everyone stopped including me, looking towards the two masculine figures that came out of the car. They were shahzaib bhai and raees uncle. They helped me and Shahzaib bhai didn't let those shaitaans (devils) go just like that, they got arrested. Raees uncle suggested shahzaib bhai to take me with them. They brought me here and helped me overcome my fear, I started to like my work and worked harder which got me third in command position. Shahzaib bhai always treated me like his own brother, I never felt that I am alone while raees uncle bought me everything as if I am biological son. He told me that I and Shahzaib bhai are his sons as he don't have any. I..." Firoz bhai whimper, making my heart restless.

"I am afraid Shahno that I will lose my father again." He said in thick tone, crying.

I quickly engulfed him into a hug. We both cried as I didn't knew how to comfort him. I don't think there will be a word that will heal Firoz bhai's and his scars, those unendurable past.

Soon after sometime we broke the hug, I wiped his face with my dupatta.

I gave him water which he drank quietly.

"I, your bhai, raees uncle and Jamila aunty are all here with you. You are not alone firoz bhai." I said, cupping his face with my right hand.

He took a deep breath before nodding with heavy eyes.

"Here, sleep. I'll give you a little head massage." I said, crossing my legs and putting a small pillow on it.

"Its okay, you must be tired too. Go sleep." He said.

"Arey...I am not tired, you sleep here. I won't accept your no's." I said, arching my brows and pouting a little.

"Ya Allah.." he said with a little smile and put his head on my lap.

I started giving him light head massage and recited some surahs as well than blew it on him. Soon he started snoring lightly as went into deep sleep.

"You must be really tired."

~2 Days later~

Third person's POV :-

"You okay, uncle?" Shahnoor asked, sitting on the dining table.

"Don't worry beti (daughter), I am all okay." Mr. Raees said, in a rough tone.

"Here, you can eat salad for now. I'll cook oats for you when we go home." Shahnoor said, serving the salad to him.

"Okay~" Mr. Raees replied with a smile, nodding.

"Beti, should I tell you something?" Mr. Raees said, looking towards the stage where his daughter and son-in-law are sitting.

"Ji uncle, tell me." Shahnoor said, looking at him.

"I know, your nikah with shahzaib had been done in wrong circumstances but..now..Do you still have a doubt of this nikah?" He asked, now turning his wrinkled gaze towards the young lady.

Shahnoor shifted uncomfortably upon hearing the sudden question. Her thoughts jumbled but she knew she wasn't and will not doubt her nikah with shahzaib.

"I..I don't uncle..I think," Shahnoor's eyes found shahzaib talking to someone near the stage.

"I think I am blessed." She completed with a big smile and look back towards Mr. Raees.

"I am happy you thought that way, you know beti, we are your family now and will always be." Mr. Raees said, shahnoor nodded.

"No matter what happens in life but know that we are your home..and Shahzaib is the world in which this home is settled. Never leave your home, be with us and take care of everyone just like how you do now. Beti, never leave shahzaib alone. He has been alone for a long time but now as a wife you should fade away all his loneliness and fill it with your love, care, happiness. Also please do take care of your aunty, I know she is little rude or strict with you but please forgive her and take care of her. As for firoz, you know he is a jolly person but when he gets upset than he becomes alone. Make sure you take care of them, I find you very understanding person." Mr. Raees said, tapping his left hand on Shahnoor's.

"And what about you?" Shahnoor asked with a smile.

"In my home, you exist too uncle. Tell me about you too as I need to take care of you." Shahnoor said, Mr. Raees smiled.

"I am an old man, I don't need much care now." He said, eyes saddening.

"But you look so young uncle, how can you say that you are old?" Shahnoor said, trying to lift up his mood.

"I miss my yara (Best friend), Shahzaib's father." He said, eyes pooling with tears.

Shahnoor's smile fainted, turning into a frown.

"Unc-"

"What are you talking about?" Shahzaib cut off Shahnoor, coming and sitting near Mr. Raees.

"Nothing, Shahnoor is making sure I won't feel left out or bored." Mr. Raees said, smiling.

Shahzaib look at shahnoor, at which she smile nervously.

. . . . . . . . .

Later that night, when everyone is sleeping soundly Shahzaib's phone ranged, echoing through the silent room.

"Who is it?" Shahnoor asked, getting disturbed by the ringing of the phone.

"Its my phone, you sleep." Shahzaib said, taking his phone from the night stand and walking towards the balcony.

He look at the caller ID 'Unknown'.

He answered the call.

"Hello~" Shahzaib said in his sleepy rough voice.

Farah's heart skipped its beat, hearing Shahzaib's voice after a long long time.

"Hello, who is it?" He asked.

"Its..its me.." Farah whispered, nervously.

"Who?" He asked, again getting irritated.

"Shahzaib..farah...me...farah..your..farah.." Farah said, emotionally.

Shahzaib clutched on the phone.

"Why did you call?" He asked, clenching his jaw.

"You...I want you.. shahzaib...I want to talk to you, apologize and make it up with you..I want us back. Please forgive me." Farah said in one breath.

"Looks like you forgot where you are standing, I am not that guy who loved you, I hate you...you disloyal woman...I hate your existence." Shahzaib said in a bitter tone, breaking farah's heart.

"But I lov-" Before farah could say anything, shahzaib cut the call and walked back towards the bed but Shahnoor got up, looking at him though her hooded eyes.

"Was I loud enough to wake you up?" Shahzaib asked, sitting close to her.

She shook her head before wrapping her hands around Shahzaib's waist.

"I don't like to sleep alone." She whispered, shahzaib smile and both lay down.

"Me too, baccha." He said, wrapping his hand around her small figure.

'I want to be fare enough with our relation..No one will take your place..I promise.'

. . . . . . . . .

"Ya Allah, was it too much that I am asking for? I am sorry, I apologised for everything I did but no one is forgiving me. What should I do? I want shahzaib, my husband, this time I promise I will please him with whatever I can...Yeah I will please him.." Farah said with a smile in the of the idea.

"Thank you Allah for helping me, now shahzaib won't be able to leave me. I need to make him...love me." Farah's smile grew bigger but soon it faded when her eyes landed on the picture of shahnoor and her.

'Will you be hurt?' Farah thought.

"But you will forgive me, I know. Even you know shahno, he is my husband. And there's no love in your marriage with him, I don't think you will get hurt, right?" Farah asked as if shahnoor is really in front of her.

~A week later~

Chime🎐

The melodic sound of wind chime echoed through the balcony as the wind touched it pleasantly.

The moon shine with perks of happiness, the only night for lovers.

Shahzaib's hand found its way to his wife's thick locks, he deepened the Passionate kiss while he clutched on the purple bangles of Shahnoor. Shahnoor's back arched in need for more.

"I can..*kissing*..never get..*kissing*..enough~ of you janan.." He kept on whispering the sweet little things in that husky hot voice, turning on each and every pulse of Shahnoor's internals.

"Uhhuhh..hmm..." Shahnoor moaned in response, the sweet pain growing in the abdomen.

Slowly shahzaib parted his lips from her, forehead touching and they locked their gaze with affection, love and lust.

"I want to claim you...mark you as..mine." Shahzaib said, eyes becoming glossy.

Shahnoor slowly cupped his face with her left hand. She already cried, just a kiss is enough to give her pleasurable than she wonders what will become of her when he will do..what he says.

"Wh-when?" She asked, whispering in timid tone.

"I want it to be special for you meri Jaan (My darling), I want to remember your first time as a beautiful memory of ours." He said, hand caressing her plum cheek.

"My results will be soon out, I got message from the uni." Shahnoor changed the topic, blushing harder.

"Hmm..Than I will give you a beautiful reward if you did excellent in your results." Shahzaib said with a big smile.

"What if I only did good not excellent? Than won't you give me any reward, you know na I had worked so hard." Shahnoor said, pouting.

"Oh my darling, I will still give you a reward." Shahzaib said.

"What will it be?" Shahnoor chirp in excitement.

"Our first night.." shahzaib said, biting his lips in a teasing manner which does made Shahnoor's heart rate faster.

"Ya Allah.."

"Haha..haha.."

The bed, the walls, the mirror, the balcony, the wind chime, the air, the sky, the Moon and the hearts became the witness of the love they shared. The Shade of love and happiness she brought in his shades of life.

Will it remain always like this?

Shahzaib's POV :-

"Is everything ready?" I asked shahnoor.

"Yupp~ almost done, just the salads remains now." She said, garnishing her favourite chicken korma. Today I invited over everyone for a family feast and also celebrating Rania and akib's wedding.

"You should get ready, everyone is about to come." I said, she nodded.

"Umm~ What a tasty smell~" Firoz said, coming in the kitchen.

"Well, you are not getting anything before the guests eats." I said.

"WHY?" Both Firoz and Shahnoor asked in unison with a pouty face.

Cute!

"Well, we should let the guests eat first." I said.

"But let him eat first, I mean let him taste it first." Shahnoor said in her childish tone and arched brows.

"Yeah let me taste it first." Firoz said, pouting.

"What are you? MasterChef?" I asked, raising a brow.

"Yes he is, when he approves my food I feel better." Shahnoor said, looking at firoz with a smile.

"Yeah, I too feel that." Firoz said, showcasing his teeth at her.

'Who am I dealing with? They are so childish..'

I can't stop the smile coming on my face, shaking my head I came out.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

I took out my phone from the pocket and saw the same unknown number from which farah called me few days ago. Sighing in irritation, I picked up the call to warn her not to call me again.

"What the hell do you want?!" I almost shouted.

"I already said shahzaib I want you, I want your love back. Please~" She said, sobbing?

"Listen farah, I am not doing anything that actually harms you because of Shahnoor or else tu ou know what I am capable of?" I said, clenching my jaw.

"I know shahzaib, But there's no need of you to do anything. I am.. going to make it easy for you..I just wanted to hear your voice for the last time.." She said.

'Last time?' Oh Allah, what is she is upto now?
