. He heard her shouting

He groaned not wanting to be awake but then he heard crying and shouting of everyone around him causing him to be wide awake.

He looked at the doctor gathered around a bed. After accessing the situation he realised that it was Anabia who was taken away by the doctor to the emergency.

His heart stopped.

He, obviously had an idea that the young child was sick but he hadn't thought to find such situations. He had been too involved in himself that he didn't care about anyone. He feels someone holding his hand as he stands like a statue in front of the emergency room.

He looked down to find Azhar holding his hand while crying looking at the door where Anabia was treated.

"Will she be ok?". Azhar asked looking at him hopeful

He wasn't sure about hope but the need to have Anabia back and to be able to look at her again was high.

"Yes, she will be fine". He replied nodding

Hours passed he saw Maha pacing around all this time. He felt the need to ask her to stop but he didn't. He didn't want to be involved with her more than he had to. Since, Anabia had planted a little seed of possible marriage between him and her. He had been thinking about it in his free time. He wondered if she was married or had someone she loves.

But, he had seen her almost all these day practically living in the hospital. He admired how she was committed to saving lives. She would sleep in front of him on a small chair beside the sleeping boy. He wanted to ask her so many things but he hadn't.

"Can you look after him? I want some fresh air". He said looking at her and sleeping Azhar

"Why are you here?". She asked worriedly

"Now, why do you look angry?. I think I have all the rights to visit this place". He said smirking

"No, you don't. This is not the place, Zahir". She said

He shrugged, "Simple. Pay me to keep me away".

"I am not giving you any money. We don't have any relation for me to do so". She said angrily

"You earn so much. You can give me some". He said

"Half of my salary goes in his treatment and the other half is not even enough for myself". She said

"You either pay me or I take this in court and have his custody". He stated

Her face paled, "You wouldn't do that".

"I would. It's no use keeping him here anyway". He said

"He will die if he is not here". She said

"He is dying anyway what's the use for keeping him alive for your selfishness. I will do him a favour and end him for good". He said

Her heart stopped, "No, you wouldn't".

"If-". He started

"Doctor, I think your supervisor is looking for you". Khizar said cutting Zahir's words

She looked at him and he saw the hurt in her hand which had him clench his fist. She nodded walking away to find her supervisor while Zahir's words remained in her mind. He saw her walking away turning back to the man.

"We were still talking". Zahir said to him

"I don't care". Khizar said shrugging

"What?". Zahir said confused

"I saw you talking to her and I didn't like it at all so I lied that her supervisor was looking for her". Khizar said his voice strained

Zahir eyes widen, "Who do you think you are?".

Khizar smirks, "Someone you wouldn't want to deal with".

With that, Khizar had Zahir leave the hospital by his guards and walked away to the emergency room where Anabia was. He watched her coming back with a frown on her face which seems cute.

His eyes widen at his own thoughts.

"Are you sure he was looking for me?". She asked confused

"N-No, I did say I think he was looking for you". He replied smiling

She rolled her eyes but didn't say anything neither that him smiling for the first time since he has been here was doing things to her heart. They waited together for the doctor to inform them Anabia was all right.

Maha went for her surgeries after she was informed that Anabia was stable. She worked all day with many surgeries and no time to visit the children's wards. The day was filled with the grief of those who lost their lives and happiness for the one that doesn't.

Her day, was exhausting and gloomy after that encounter she was shaken. She has no one to speak to neither she understand laws all she fears is him taking away someone she cares for. She knows he is wicked and he will do anything.

"Appi is always sad when that man comes".

He remembers Azhar words when he just came back from his walk and found her talking to some man. By her face, he knows that man was not good news. She looked tensed and her usual beautiful smiling face was filled with intense hurt something he doesn't like.

He had for that time removed him from her but he wasn't sure how he can remove him permanently. He wanted to know about that man and her and why was he here. But, like always he couldn't just ask her. It's been a full day after that he hadn't seen her once coming to the room or anywhere near. He heard she had a long day with surgeries so he walked all the way to another side where she was to have a glimpse of her even when the doctor had told him that his injuries could hurt more by walking too long but he didn't care.

However, the time he had a glimpse maybe he shouldn't have. He waited for hours there but when she walked towards the stairs he had walked with her. Few steps down, he saw her sitting there alone and crying to herself.

His heart stopped.

He felt something clenching his heart causing it immense pain that he had never felt before.

She walked away after her session of crying. The pain, suffering, betrayal everything coming back to her. She doesn't wish to spend a little amount that is left from her salary to give that man who had ruined her life. It had been years since he had done what he wanted to but he never left her alone.

She walked inside the children's ward unconsciously her eyes first went to the side where Khizar stays but she found it empty which left her heart a little empty. She walked near the sleeping child sitting beside him. She holds his hand in her kissing them as few more tears espace her eyes.

"Ammi (mother)?". She heard him say

Her heart stopped.

She stood from her position hovering over the child who had just opened his eyes but looked tired even after years of sleep.

"Meri Jaan (my life), Ammi is here". She smiled sadly kissing his forehead, "Tired?".

"Jee Ammi (yes, mother)". He said softly smiling

She smiles blinking her tears, "Sleep, mere Bache (my child)".

She saw the boy closing his eyes again and in a few seconds, he was gone to his own world.

"He is your child?". She heard his voice that tensed her

"Why should I tell you?". She asked strained

"Tell me, Maha, is he your child?". Khizar asked

She turned around glaring at him, "There are children sleeping here, Khizar. Lower your voice".

He narrowed his eyes at her not answering but nodded as they walked away from the ward towards the hospital garden.

"Yes, he is my child". She replied as they sat on a bench looking at people rushing from place to place

"That man". He stated

"He was my ex-husband". She said sighing tiredly

"Why was he here?". He asked anger building in him

"He wanted money or he will take my child away. He said he will take his custody and pull him out of the hospital". She cried, "You know something?. That child is alive because of the hospital he will die if he is taken away from here. I can't let that happen".

His heart clench, "Tell me everything, Maha, I promise I will not let anything happen".

She looked in his eyes, "I was married when I turned 18 he wasn't someone I knew just my parents wanted me gone. I wanted to study I somehow managed with a house that my grandparents gifted me. But, the money that comes from it mostly went to him. He would mentally torture me to hand him the money. I successfully graduated but then it was even harder I started a job and had a kid who needed medical attention. When he was born I found that my husband was cheating with my friend. They had been since my marriage but I was busy to not look at it. Then, I asked for a divorce and he had been torturing me each month to hand him a check or he will take my child".

"He won't take anyone away". He promised

A week passed, he had gathered information about that man he had started to feel hate for without even having any personal exchange. He knows the man cannot exactly win against him but he is still the child (Azaan) father.

"So, you are saying that he can take Azaan away?". She asked worriedly

"No, he might be able to there are little chances". He said sighing

"Is there any way? I will do anything". She said softly

He looked at her, "Marry me".

Her eyes widen, "Excuse me?".

"Hear me, please, you are sole guardian or Azaan. He doesn't have a father figure in his life. But, your ex-husband is married and well-off he can take that advantage of giving him both parents. If you have someone you like-". He said

"I don't". She said hurriedly

He relaxed nodding, "So, since you have no one else and you know me. We could marry which will transfer his guardian rights to me and our case will be stronger. I promise I will fulfil all my duties". He said

It was a wedding.

Simple and pleasing. Anabia was able to visit a marriage in her lifetime. Both, Khizar and Maha, wanted and kept her in front in their marriage. From having her wear a beautiful dress herself in which she was the happiest to have to wear another beautiful dress for Maha.

Maha and Khizar were two complex souls tied together. Both, hurt by their love.

Now, Khizar was back to his bed in the hospital wondering how in these three weeks his life had turned. He knew he didn't regret it but he was far more confused about what the future holds.

"Ammi, Ammi". He heard someone cry

He looked at the sleeping boy shaking a little and immediately walked to his side holding his small hands in his.

"Your Ammi is not here, beta (son)". Khizar said softly brushing his hair away

The child tired eyes turned to him and he smiles a little, "Oh, she is working again?".

Khizar nodded, "Yes, she is".

Azaan sighs, "I don't want her to work so much".

"Why is that?". Khizar said sitting beside him

"My father was not a good man and he hurt her. She is always working and I saw her crying sometimes hear because I cannot open my eyes. But, I know she is working because of me. I don't want her to do that. I want her to be happy. Can you help me?". Azaan said tiredly

"I promise, I will. You can trust me, beta (son)". He said kissing his forehead as he sleeps

"Azaan was awake a while ago". He said as she exited the emergency room her eyes widen as he continues, "I spoke to him. He seems to be an intelligent child".

She smiled sadly, "He always was. He doesn't always sleep like this. It happened just recently because he was growing and he needed a new organ".

"Do you think Anabia can be treated too?". He asked randomly

"Yes. But she needs a guardian and operation payment". She said

"I have been thinking something only if you agree". He said cautiously she nodded and he continued, "I was thinking we could adopt her".

"Are you serious?". She asked unsurely

He nodded, "If we can give her parents care that she deserves then why not?".

She smiled with a few tears in her eyes, "That will be wonderful. I am not sure what she will think though".

"So, you both will be my Abbu and Ammi?". Anabia asked confused

Maha nodded, "Yes, we will be your parents and we promise to love you forever".

Anabia pout, "I don't mind having you as my parents. But, will I live forever?".

Maha smiled holding her, "We all have to die one day. But, you deserve to live a few more days. Will, you allow us?".

That's how they were the parents of two kids. For Khizar parents it was pleasing because they thought their child will never live another day. Him going through a suicide barely being alive had told them that life wasn't that long and they cannot let their son takes his.

They liked Maha and knowing her past they accepted her with her children. It was his last day in the hospital.

"I heard you are married now". He heard the voice he didn't want to hear

He turned to find his supposed wife (Zobia) who broke his heart a few days before their marriage by telling him that she never liked him. They were engaged by their parents they would always meet and talk and Khizar was genuinely happy with her. Until, the day she brought another guy and said she liked him and not Khizar.

"You should be married too". He said flatly

"I didn't like him. I realised I liked you. I heard you took your life because of me. I knew you always love me I was just blinded by him for a while, Khizar. How can you marry someone else in a short time?". She cried

Khizar was about to speak when the door opened and in walked his wife looking only at him.

"How can you not knock and walk in like that?. Don't you have manners?". Zobia yelled angrily

He looked at her smile vanishing and hurt visible in her eyes. He didn't like it one bit.

"Maha, come here, please". Khizar said forwarding his hand smiling at her

She turned her eyes towards him nodding with a smile back on her face.

His heart flutters.

"This is my wife, Maha, that you were shouting at and this is just someone I know". Khizar said smiling at her pretty face he then turned his eyes to Zobia shocked face, "And if you ever shout at her like that again there will be consequences".

"But-". Zobia started

"What is it?". He asked his wife smiling

"Anabia is leaving in 15 minutes she wanted to speak to you". She said softly

"Oh, no, I totally forgot that for a moment. Come on, let's go". He said hurriedly holding her hand pulling her along him

He realised something while they waited as parents of Anabia surgery to be successful. He hadn't thought of suicide after meeting her. He didn't even think about his past lover again. Those kids and she made him see a different world. A world of their own and hope.

He had hope.

He didn't looked at Zobia face the entire time his wife was there. It was just her beautiful face that had his heart not allowing him to look at anything else.

He realised she meant a lot more to him.

"I will be back, ok?". He said to her

She nodded and he kissed her forehead lovingly moving away from the hospital. He asked his guards to bring him his car as he drives away from the hospital towards the ring shop.

He looked through the rings and shops looking for a perfect ring for her. After he had one he smiled walking out of the door of the mall.

Just as he neared his car he found the man he hates.

"Zahir". He stated grimly

"You destroyed my plan. I will kill you". Zahir said raged

Before anyone could comprehend anything Zahir shoots the gun at him and the bullet passes through his heart. He falls on the ground smiling looking at the sky that had yet again played him and with his love.

"Maha". Were his last words
