I could hear different voices around me but all I could see was darkness.

Am I in heaven?

My trance of thoughts were broken by a sharp voice of someone.

"He is getting conscious!"

My eyes were as heavy as I was lifting whole universe on them.

With much difficulty I opened my eyes and saw a crew of doctors around me.

"How are you feeling now?"

One of the doctor asked coming closer .

"I am fine. What happened to me?"

"Your and the patient's in room no 7 hearts stopped beating for almost 4 minutes. After 4 minutes your hearts starts beating again. It's like a miracle of Allah. Your heart stopped looking at her and started beating with her's. I had never seen a love this deep and eternal."

Doctor said referring toMinahil and a smile broke on my lips.

"How's she?"

"She got her conscious back almost half an hour ago. She is completely fine now."

"ALHAMDULILLAH!!!"

I sighed and with a smile close my eyes.

___________

"Rehab!!!"

Tooba called Rehab who was sitting on floor with some pictures in his hands.

His face was damp with tears.

"Rehab meri Jan!!"

(Rehab my life!!)

Tooba said in a shaky tone sitting beside him.

He didn't raised his head but kept on gazing pictures.

Tooba took pictures from his hand and saw a huge group of children standing there smiling.

She looked at Rehab with confusion written on her face.

He didn't speak neither she forced him.

She put her head on his shoulder and took his hand in her's.

Moments passed with them sitting like this.

After a long pause he sighed and spoke.

" You know who these children are?"

He said pointing at picture. Tooba shoke her head.

"These are my friends from orphanage!"

Rehab said in a deep thinking.

"Orphanage?"

He nodded.

"Let me tell you a story!! Will you listen?"

"Sure!!"

She said caressing his cheek with her palm.

"There was a family! Happy and contented! like normal families. That family was comprising of a handsome man and a beautiful lady with their one 6 years old son. Man was lawyer while the lady was doctor. One day he got some information about a gang who used to do illegal business. He started searching about them and his research got to that extent that he can bring those gangsters behind the bars with a snap of fingers. He started getting threats that they will kill his family but still he didn't retreat back. One day that man went to office like normal days but didn't come. That day he went to police station to make the police arrest those monsters but he didn't know that luck was not on his side that day. Police trapped him and took him to those monsters warehouse saying that they are going to arrest them but when they came face to face with them they declared that we have brought your enemy and our job is fulfilled. That gangster gave a heavy amount to the police officers and they left that man alone with those heartless monsters.

They offered him money and that too a heavy amount but he was an honest man. Instead of betraying his country he choose to die for his country. That gang was involved in human trafficking, girls smuggling, drug dealing, wine selling and all other illegal business. That day they killed that man and later burned his body!"

He stopped.

Tooba gasped looking at him.

Tears were making her face damp. She was feeling the pain which was in the story.

"What.. happened..to his ..family?"

After a long silence she spoke with hiccups.

He sighed heavily.

"They took their son and wife with them. His wife was a doctor so they asked her to accept a high post in their hospital to treat their men but she clearly refused on their face that she don't treat killers. They killed her husband and she knew it. They threatened her to kill her son in front of her eyes. You know what she did next?"

"No..!!"

"She smiled!!"

Tooba's eyed widened in horror.

"Exactly!! Their eyes also widened this way. She said that she had already lost her husband and now she have nothing except her son. It doesn't matter to her if she has to lose her son for the sake of his country. She said she is willing to lose her son but not be called a traitor like them. She said in high pitch voice and I guess that was enough for their leader to bear. He took his gun out and started shooting her. He shoot her directly on heart 5 times without any mercy."

"ALLAH!!!"

A teary scream left Tooba's mouth and she put her palm on her mouth to stop her screams.

Rehab didn't say anything but kept on looking on an unknown spot.

"What.. happened..to their..son?"

Tooba asked in hiccups.

"They were about to kill him too when one of them came forward saying that they don't need a 6 year old. He won't be a danger if they don't kill him. That man was close to his leader so he obeyed him and left that child on road at 5 in morning. That child kept on roaming on roads for almost a year. One day he was searching for food in dustbin when an old lady came towards him

Asking him what he was doing. When he answered her with his innocence. That lady engulfed him in a hug crying and took him with her to an orphanage. "

He said and this times turned towards Tooba who had a shocked mask on his face.

"Orphanage...."

Word left her lips with a horrified expression on her face and eyes on the photo Rehab was holding.

"Yeah orphanage!! Wanna know the name of that child?"

He asked but she was lost for words.

"Then listen! That child was called helpless and innocent back there but now he is called as the fearless Rehab Zaid Ameer Khan and that lawyer was Zaid Ameer khan with his doctor wife Ammara Zaid Ameer Khan!!!"

He declared and Tooba felt her sky spinning and earth being snatching under her feet.

"I was 8 years old when Saim, Zaroon and Yusha came in orphanage. They were also quite like me so we became friends. I was 10 years old when I saw Haider playing on the side of road in dirty clothes. I don't know what came over me but without a thought I took him with me to orphanage. He was 5 years old back there. I took care of him like my little brother. Years passed and passed with us 5 helping each other, making each other smile, holding onto each other and we all grew up. We were quite but passionate to do something and the day came when we started collecting people for our gang. In quite sometime we got enough men to build a gang. Years passed with us struggling and then we succeeded. We got enough weapons to protect people . No no innocents! To protect innocents!! We made our own warehouse and then houses in different cities. We made our headquarters here in our birth place Islamabad. People were afraid of 'sharp shooters' thinking that they kill everyone who come in their way. The day when we named our gang 'sharp shooters ' we took an oath of serving people! Of fighting against evil! Of being the companions of suffering ones! Of stopping the illegal acts! Of putting those an end who destroy families!! And for fulfilling that promise we killed mercilessly."

His voice got heavy at the end.

" You remembered the first night after our wedding? You called me a criminal who kills innocents. Who destroys family cause he doesn't know what family worths. "

He said woth heavy voice.

"I..am sorry!!. I ..really am!!"

Tooba said with hiccups and hugged him tightly.

"No it's not your fault. This is what I am used to of listening but when you called me this, it hit me hard on heart. I can swear on Allah that I kill people for sure but I never raised my gun on any innocent and no one can know the worth of family more than a son whose parents died in front of him."

He said crying.

"I am sorry for your pain. For your loss. You faced those things which no child should see. I promise from now on I won't let any sorrow come to you. Any problem which tends to come to you should pass over my dead body!!"

She said still hidding her face in his chest.

"Shhhh!!! Don't say like this. You are my only happiness left in this world apart from my brothers. I can't loose you. Never speak like this again or I won't talk to you."

He raised her face holgibf her chin and scolded her like a child who is afraid of his toys being broken.

A smile broke on her lips.

" You know the first time I saw you I didn't see you I saw my mother in you. She had same black eyes like you and a tiny mole above her lips like you have. She also used to do hijab while going out. You had much resemblance with my mother that's why I fell in love with you and fell hard cause I knew you were a pure soul with a feisty nature."

He said painting a kiss on her nose tip.

"I love You!! I love you so much!!!"

Tooba said hugging him tightly.

"Love you more!!"

He said placing his chin on her head.

"Saim didn't let me come with him to hospital cause he knew that I won't be able to see Haider like this and will break down. He said he don't want people to think that furious Rehab Khan can be broken down. These are my brothers, my friends, my hearts and my strength. Haider is like a heartbeat to me so close to my heart. I raised him woth my own hands. I can't imagine living without him."

Rehab's voice got heavy at the end.

" You don't have to imagine such things. I have my firm faith on my Allah that he won't let his beloveds down and will never leave our suppletions unanswered!! He will come back to us soon. "

She said and he nodded.

Moments passed with them gazing at each other when Rehab's eyes fell on her lips and then at her eyes as if asking for permission.

She nodded and without any other thought he captured her lips.

They both knew where this passionate kiss of them will lead to bit still in each other's embrace and breathing each other's fragrance they forgot all their worries, tensions and pains.

"Rehab wake up wake up!! "

Tooba said shaking Rehab who was sleeping peacefully.

"What happened Love? Let me sleep and you too sleep!!"

He said taking her in his arms making her face collide with his bare chest.

"Oh ho! As much as I love being in your arms but now we both have to get up. Saim called just now! Haider and Minahil both got their conscious back and are fine now."

Tooba said shaking Rehab and he sat up with a jolt.

"What?"

He asked with a happy face.

"Yeah!!"

"Ok I am going downstairs. You come downstairs soon after getting ready. We are doing to hospital."

Rehab wore his shirt and went downstairs with a smile on his face.

"There is a good time coming!! In Sha Allah !"

He thought while climbing stairs.
