Chapter 37: Start of Life after Marriage.

--------------

"The most beautiful thing to ever see is the bond of siblings."

Now that Amyrah and Kayan were married and the wedding of Aaiyla and Ehaan was around the corner, everyone was in a chaotic mode.

The checklists were being re-checked and the preparations were on full blast.

Sunday was a chilling out kinda day for them with simply fun and barbaque for lunch. Amyrah and Kayan did not meet throughout the day since both were busy, the former busy with more productive work than the latter though.

"One, Two, Threeeeeeee, Gooooo" Grandma Zaeef was the judge of the swimming competition between the boys while the men handled the barbaque and women chilled around the place.

Amyrah was reading while lying on one of the hammock as it gently swung from side to side.

"Amyrah bhabhi!" Yelled Safwah from the other side of the yard, dripping wet.

Amyrah looked up from the book and called back a yes.

"Come on, let's play!!" He yelled back and Amyrah sighed looking down at her clothes. She was wearing a short dress, skinnies and hijab. Won't hurt to play, will it?

Fifteen minutes Into the game of Intense volley ball, Amyrah was exhausted.

It was 5 a team, Amyrah was with Kayan, Sahl, Safwah and Kulthum, which apparently, felt unfair to the rest as the best players were in one team!

The other team had Yazdan, Aaiyla, Ehaan, Farhaan and Karmaan.

"Hit the ball Aaiyla!!" Yelled Ehaan from the back as the ball came swinging at Aaiyla.

Aaiyla hit it and it went over the net to Amyrah who swung a hit causing it to go high and to the other side. Seeing the ball, Yazdan and Karmaan made a run for it causing both of them to clash when they jumped to hit it. Yazdan hit Karmaan's body and since his momentum was higher, he crashed to the ground on top of Karmaan. Poor younger brother was gasping for air.

The others ran over to them as Yazdan rolled off Karmaan groaning in pain.

It was Karmaan, however who was the subject of concern here.

"Get his pump!" Yelled Kayan as he ran towards his brother.

Someone somewhere ran Inside to get it.

Yazdan set up with much groaning and turned to his little brother. He patted on his brothers shoulders, trying to distract him.

"Pump!" Kulthum gave the pump to Kayan who placed it in Karmaan's mouth and asked him to slowly breath.

Safwah and Sahl both set on the right of Karmaan, holding his hand assuringly. Kulthum was on her knees beside Yazdan, asking if he was okay.

"Karmaan, breath slowly" said Kayan, panting hard.

Kulthum asked everyone to step away and allow him to breathe and everyone did so.

Just then Grandpa and Grandma Zaeef along with the other elders entered the scene. Qaidah ran to aid her sons while Aahil called the doctors.

After several mi utes, Karmaan finally set up slowly, his siblings aiding him.

"Are you alright?" Questioned Kayan and he nodded.

"Why did you two run for it together?!" Scolded Kayan. "-what if something happened to you, Karmaan?"

Karmaan chuckled lowly, it sounded more of a man coughing than a chuckle.

"But....it...... did....... not" he spoke with pants in between his words.

Kayan sighed, shaking his head.

"Don't do stupid things again" he muttered and the siblings agreed.

Karmaan was asked to rest in one of the hammocks near the field and the game continued, although Yazdan volunteered to stay back.

The two watched the game from their hammocks when Yazdan decided to question him.

"Are you sure you are fine?" He asked, concerned and Karmaan nodded.

"I am fine bhaiyu!" He said, smiling slightly. Now his words were legible and he spoke without short breaths.

"Sorry"

Karmaan turned to his older brother and smile again.

"Its alright! It was also my fault that I ran without seeing." He explained and Yazdan shook his head.

"We could have lost you because of me!" He exclaimed and Karmaan shook his head.

"It's not your Fault bhaiyu! Don't beat yourself on it"

Karmaan was fine but Yazdan knew better. He knew that his mistake could have cost his little brother's life. And in that moment, he had realized how much his siblings meant to him.

Kayan walked away from the table of food towards the edge of the backyard that had trees to conceal his presence before he answered his call.

"Kayan Zaeef"

"Sir" it was his PA back in Australia.

"Yes Kilani" he spoke, looking out of the yard towards the clear path leading into another park.

"Sir, I think we might have a large problem" she said and Kayan's blood ran cold.

"What is it?" he asked, his stance in a protective manner. One he usually has when he is nervous.

"The entire system of our office has gone down and I think the virus is attacking our firewalls. You do know what this means, right?" she said, almost panicking.

Kayan pinched the bridge of his nose. He was dealing with too much right now, he did not want this as well!

"I know. Its only the Melbourne office that is affected right? Not the others?" he questioned, hoping that it was true.

"Yes. But for now" she said and Kayan growled in frustration.

"For now?" he asked gripping the railings of the compound a little too harshly.

"Yes sir. Upon checking, we realized that this virus is going to attack everything in this path. Whoever did this was smart. They planted the virus in the main system and since every of our offices around the globe is linked and controlled from here, it will slowly spread"

"Okay. I am coming tomorrow morning. Till then, don't do a single thing" said Kayan and hung up.

"You are going where?" Amyrah had seen Kayan on the phone at the end of the yard so she walked towards him and when she did reach him, all she heard was that he was leaving tomorrow.

"Amyrah" he tried to smile and Amyrah saw right through it.

"What is it?" she asked him, standing infront of him.

"Nothing" he replied, smiling again. And again, Amyrah saw right through it.

"What is it Kayan?" she asked, putting her hands on her hip and looking up at him with the look that said 'I am not leaving until you tell me'.

Kayan sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

"There is a virus in our main system and it is slowly going to destroy all of the empire" he said and Amyrah's mouth hung open.

"What? How?" she questioned him, a concerned look taking over her features.

"I don't know, okay! I was informed before but I did not take action, but now. Now, all my hard work is going to go down the drain if I can't stop this" he said in disarray and Amyrah inhaled a deep breath and looked up to him.

"Then we do this." she said and Kayan raised an eyebrow at her.

"We?"

"Yes, we! When I married you, I promised to be always by your side. Now, we fix this because if we don't, we will miss a wedding and have no empire to look after!" she said and Kayan shook his head.

"No, NO I can't allow you to do that" he said and Amyrah shook her head.

"No. Kayan, its business. And I know business. I want to help you!" she said and Kayan shook his head 'No' again.

"Amyrah, I know you do but its best you don't get involved. I don't want my problems to come over you and stress you out!" he said and Amyrah sighed.

"Too late. What's yours is mine" she said and He glared at her.

"Its a no. I am going alone and I should be back within two days" he said and she rolled her eyes before holding his face with her hands. His skin felt soft against her hands and this caused her to smile a little.

Caressing his cheeks, she spoke softly.

"Kayan, a she-wolf always protects her mate. No matter what" she spoke softly, looking right into his eyes.

He clasped her hands in his large ones and pulled them down. He pulled her hands towards him with such force that she collided with his body. Lucky for them, this area was secluded from the others due to the presence to large trees that had hanging vines around them that concealed most of the things here. He held her to him while smiling slightly down at her. It felt perfect to him. And it did to her too.

He leaned onto her and smiled gently while she closed her eyes.
