"Jahan call Aarham please." Zeeniya,said worriedly.

"What happened?" Jahan asked looking at her tensed face.

"I don't know. I'm not feeling good. I want to talk to Aarham. I want to know that he's fine." Zeeniya said and Jahan held her hands and turned her toward him.

"Just relax. He's fit and fine. I called him in morning. He was so happy because he was going on shopping with Mehak. I don't think we should disturb them." Jahan said but zeeniya was feeling restless.

"I know but still I just want to hear his voice. Something is bothering me. Please call him." Zeeniya said and Jahan nodded.

"Okay just relax. I'm calling him." Jahan said while taking his mobile out.

He dialed Aarham's number and waited for him to pick his call but he didn't received his call. Jahan again dialed his number but again Jo response from the other side.

"What happened?" Zeeniya asked looking at Jahan.

"Nothing. He's not receiving the call. I told you he must be busy in shopping. We shouldn't disturb them." Jahan said but zeeniya was getting more restless as she was feeling something bad.

"Mom what happened?" Aabia came with Sameer in hall and saw Zeeniya worried.

"Aarham is not receiving the call and your mom is getting worried for it." Jahan replied and Aabia smiled while taking seat.

"Your son is busy these day with his wife so don't be tense. He's fine. He'll call you." Aabia said but Zeeniya was not getting satisfied.

"Mom don't worry." Sameer said while hugging his mother but still Zeeniya was not sure of anything.

Her heart was not in peace. She wanted to gear Aarham's voice to confirm that he was fine.

"Call him again please." Zeeniya said and all sighed.

"Zeeya Maa." All turner back on tge bounce to see the person standing the doorway.

"Aarib." All yelled with a huge smiled on their face and ran to him.

"Aarib bhaiya how are you?" Sameer asked while hugging him.

"I'm fine buddy. How are you?" Aarib asked while placing his bag aside.

"Jhanu papa." He said and hugged Jahan.

Zeeniya smiled with tears in her eyes. After two years,he was in front of her. After meeting with everyone, gye walked to the person who was his favourite.

"How's my flower?" He asked standing in front if Zeeniya.

"Don't talk to me. You forgot your Zeeya Maa after going to Istanbul." Zeeniya said and he laughed.

"Can a son forget his mother?!" He said and hugged Zeeniya.

"I missed you son." Zeeniya said while hugging him.

"Missed you too Maa." He said and kissed her head.

Sameer,Shazam and Aabia gathered around him and start talking to him while Roshaane was looking at him from a distance. He looked up at her and as he did,she ran up to her room and he just shrugged his shoulders.

"Where is,Aarham?" Aarib asked looking around.

"He's on his honeymoon. But why didn't you attend his marriage?" Aabia asked and he smiled.

"Actually I was visiting different countries with my team. So,I just couldn't come. Its not easy being an international photographer and owner of magazine house." Aarib said and all nodded.

"And how's your magazine going?" Shazam asked

"Its good. But it made me tired now." Aarib said and zeeniya smiled looking at him.

She walked to him and sat next to him. He looked at her and wrapped Hus,arm around her shoulder.

"That's why I asked you to get married. At least you won't be alone." Zeeniya said but he smiled.

"Your elder than Aarham. He's married and you're roaming like this. I'm going to find a girl for you." Zeeniya said and all nodded with a smiled while Jahan felt relieved when he saw Zeeniya relaxed around Aarib and she for few time forgot about Aarham.

"Aarham." I yelled looking at him whose eyes closed down.

"Ma'am hurry up. We have to take Sir hospital." I heard Abbas but I was just looking at him who was laying unconscious in my arms while his blood was coming out of his chest.

I felt my heart stopping. I keep looking at him whose neck was having blood stains and so were my hands having. It was his blood. My Aarham's.

"Don't..don't do this please." I said while caressing his face.

"Ma'am hurry up." Ali held my from my arm and Abbas picked Aarham in his arms with the help of Ali and we ran to the car.

Placing Aarham on back seat,both took front seat while I sat next to Aarham, taking his head in my lap, I placed my hand on his chest to stop the blood which was coming out rapidly.

"Abbas hurry up please." I yelled with tears.

"Just 5 minutes ma'am." Abbas said,driving fast.

"Aarham please opened your eyes. Aarham." I called him while shaking him.

"Aarham." I called him again while rapping on his face to wake him up.

I wanted to talk to him. To see in his eyes to get at least some courage. I was getting weak. I couldn't see him like this. My tears fell on his face and I saw movement in his eyes.

"Aarham." I called him again and he slowly opened his eyes while breathing heavily.

"Me..ha..k". He called and again his eyes were closing down.

"No..no..look at me. I'm..I'm here. Aarham talk to me." I said,tapping on his face again.

He opened his eyes again. I could see it was getting difficult for him to take breath. He was hardly keeping his eyes open. But I couldn't let him lost his conscious.

"I'm here. Nothing...nothing will happen to you." I said caressing his face which made him smile lightly.

I could feel his smoke on his face but even I could see how much pain he was bearing. Two tears slipped down from the corner if his eyes telling ne that how much he was in pain.

"Just..keep looking at me. You'll.. You'll be fine Aarham. Abbas drive fast." I said and cried looking at him whose slow breaths were scaring me.

Suddenly his mobile start ringing. Ring was going on and I took his mobile out from the side pocket of his coat. It was Papa calling. I cried more,didn't know what to do.

"Papa.. Papa is calling." I said looking in his eyes and he shook his head slightly.

"Don't...le..t..an..any..one..k..know..abo...about..this.." He hardly said and I looked at mobile where again the ringing was coming.

Papa was again calling and it was getting difficult for me to hide all this from him. Aarham held my hand tightly in his hand while shaking his head as no and I nodded and placed mobile in my clutch and start running my fingers in his hair.

"You'll be fine." I said with countless tears steaming down on my cheeks.

"Me..h.." He couldn't complete and closed down his eyes making ne scared.

"Aarham look at me." I shook him and at the sane time our car stopped.

"Ma'am hurry up." Ali's voice and they out Aarham out and placed him on stretcher and took him inside the hospital..

"Did you calk them?" Abbas asked Ali but I was just looking at my Aarham who was fighting with death.

"They are coming." Ali answered and soon Aarham was taken in the operation theater without asking anything.

I sat there on the bench,praying for him who was now my life.

"Ma'am." I looked up on the voice and saw Abbas and Ali with cops.

"Hello Mrs Aarham." One if the officer said and I nodded only.

"We're doing our best to find the killer but you have to cooperate with us." He said but I just keep Keating for Aarham's life.

"Ma'am you don't need to worry about. We'll handle everything." Abbas said and walked away with cops.

I sat down on the bench again while my every beat of my heart was praying for his life. I was scared. Scared of loosing him. I wanted him alive,healthy just like before. I wanted to see his smile. That smile which was my life.

"Aarham please. Ya Allah help us. Save my Aarham." I was praying with tears.

Four hours passed but Aarham didn't came out of operating. It was making me more scared. When suddenly, I heard some ring. I turned and saw my clutch. With shaking hand,I took out the cell and saw Aabia's name flashing on screen.

"Allah now what to do?" I got tense more.

Taking deep breath,I wiped my tears and answered the call.

"H..hello." I said trued to keep my voice calm.

"Bhabhi is that you?" Her Boyce appeared from other side.

"Y..yes Aabia. Ho..how are you?" I asked and was trying hard to control my tears.

"I'm fine. How are you?" She asked.

"I'm..I'm fine." I answered shortly.

"Where is Bhai? Actually mom want to talk to him." Aabia said and I covered my mouth with my other hand to stop my hiccup.

"Mehak beta how are you?" I heard mama's voice which made me more weak.

I closed my eyes tightly and took mobile aside from my ear and cried silently. Taking a deep breath again,I placed mobile near my ear.

"I'm..I'm fine Mama." I replied to her question.

"Where is Aarham? I want to talk to him." Amma said and my eyes went to the room where Aarham was.

"He's..he's gone to..to..buy something. I'm..in..car..waiting for him." I replied and was feeling bad as I was hiding truth from her.

"Okay. But he's fine na? I know he's fine but still I want to know. He's okay na?" Mama Asad and I thought what to tell her.

"He's..He's fine." I said and cried with silently.

"Okay. Ask him to call me. I'll be waiting." Mama said.

"Sure. Allah Hafiz." I said and cut the call.

I cried more and more with every passing second. I just wanted to see him but the operating process was getting long.

Ya Allah save my Aarham. For me.

I keep praying and crying.

Ali and Abbas both were handling the case with cops. Abbas told everything to the cops about the waiters and also about the first attack on Aarham. After completing all the formalities in hospital as it was a police case,Abbas and ALU went out with chips outside the hospital.

"Sir I want you to do everything secretly. Aw you know He's a well known businessman in the world and reporters are always in the found if news about him. So we want you to keep it a secret. The news if a attack shouldn't be out in media. We hope you are understanding." Abbas saudcabd the officers nodded.

"We completely understand and we already start searching about the man as Mr Ali had informed us before this attach. Don't worry. We are going to catch him soon." One of the officer said and they went to find the man.

Abbas and Ali went in the hospital and saw Mehak crying so much while praying. Both went to her and stood there next to her while their eyes were on the operation theatre. Their hearts were praying for their Sir to be okay.

"Zara where are you lost?" Zarnish asked looking at her who was in her own thoughts.

"Nothing." She replied and again silently start looking cat her hands while her mind was looking at the picture which was saved in his heart.

"Will you come with me on shopping?" Zarnish asked and azalea shook her head as no.

Zarnish was noticing her. Since they cane back from Karachi,she found Zara lost in something. She was not the same now. She forgot to smile. Her only hobby was now to keep thinking and all family members were thinking that what was so important that she was lost in it since two weeks.

"Why? Zarnish asked.

"I'm busy." With the words,Zara walked up to her room and closed the door.

She took deep breaths to calm his beating heart. She ran to her study table and took white papers out.

"I won't forget him. I won't let my mind to forget his face." She said while taking a pencil and start sketching.

Her sketching was not good but she was trying. Trying hard to sketch hard to print that face on the Parker which took peace of her heart. Crossing and throwing each paper,she was trying to sketch his face.

"Who are you?" She whispered while making hua eyes as his heart and mind were recalling his eyes when he saw her for first and last time.

All the day passed and night fall but she didn't came out of her room. Her fingers were moving faster on the paper and throwing the papers on ground. Every corner of her room was filled with rolled,tore and crossed papers. Zarnish came to call her but she didn't opened her room door. All went to call her for dinner but she didn't open her room door. She remained busy in sketching the face which was making her crazy second by second.

All the night,she keep trying and trying while tears were rolling down on her cheeks as she wanted to see his face which was roaming on her mind since a month.

"Who are you?" She asked making his eyes.

"I want to know you." She said while sketching his nose and lips.

"I want to see you." She said sketching his all face.

"I want to know your name." She said crazily and sketch his hair.

She looked at the sketch. The face was in front of her which took her heart away. Those eyes she felt on herself which took her peace with their just one look. His hair she made aa she saw them first time, spread some on his forehead while a little smile on his lips. She just couldn't forget him.

"I won't forget you and will not let you forget me." She said and smiled while kissing his face.

"Whoever you are, remember one thing that you are mine now. Only mine. Only Zara's." She said and laughed happily while laying back on bed with his sketch near to her heart.

8 hours passed and finally the door opened. Doctor came out and I could see how kuch they were toted but still a smile was touching their faces..I ran to them with beating heart.

"Doctor my husband? Is he okay?" I asked controlling my tears.

"He's fine. Don't worry. We took out the bullet. Thankfully bullet didn't touched his heart but just below it. He's fine. We'll shift him to ICU to keep him in observation for few days." Doctors said and left while I fell down on ground,crying and my every breath was saying 'Alhamdulillah'.

"Ma'am please control yourself. Sir will be fine now." I heard Abbas and I nodded while wiping my tears.

I saw Aarham coming out of operation theatre on the stretcher. A big oxygen mask on his face,his closed eyes and pale face was making my heart hurt. I never wanted to see him like this. I walked with him and saw that he was shifted to ICU and I keep looking at him from the glass of door who was surrounded with machines.

"Wake up Aarham." I whispered looking at him who was sleeping.

"He will ma'am. Just pray." Ali came and said.

I nodded and sat aside as I was not allowed to go in. All the night passed and I keep seated there,waiting for him to call me. I was waiting for him to open his eyes. All the night I keep praying for him.

All the night passed but he didn't come to his conscious. I was looking at him who was been observed by doctors after every hour.

"Doctor why he's not coming to his conscious?" I asked the doctor who just came to check Aarham.

"He will take time. But I'm hoping for his coming back in 24 hours. Don't worry. We are keeping him under observation." Doctor said and I nodded.

"Can I see him?" I asked and doctor thought for a moment and then nodded.

"You can but don't disturb him." I nodded and turned to the door happily.

I turned to see Abbas and Ali who came and stood with the door,guarding us. I smiled looking at them and stepped in the room. Closing the door behind me,my eyes went to him who was sleeping lifelessly on the bed,making me cry. His shirt was removed and his chest was covered with bandages which made my heart to cry blood tears.

I walked to him slowly remembering our every moment. His smile,his naughty acts,his mischievous grin,his shining eyes,his laughs everything was roaming on my mind and was just crying silently.

"Aarham." I called him as I sat on the Stoll,close to him.

I keep looking at the him and then my eyes went to his hand where a niddle was inserted on the back of his hand which was connect to the drip line hanging near his bed. Slowly and carefully I held his hand and moved closer to his bed.

"Wake up. Wake up Aarham." I said looking at his sleeping face.

"I'm..I'm scared. Can't you see how alone I'm here without you. In this strange city,leaving me alone, how can you close your eyes and sleep here? Now get up. Come back Aarham. Come to life. Come to me. Please." I cried while resting my head on bed and keep crying.

"Come back please. I'm waiting." I cried more and more.

"I can't see you like this any more. Please come back." I said and closed my eyes,feeling him closer to me.
