This chapter is dedicated to all my lovely silent readers. At least I hope you'll all like this chapter.

Zoya 's pov :

It's been 3 days, I still couldn't be normal. May be at least until I found my family, I can't be normal.

Ahad was giving an old college try to bring a smile on my face but unfortunately, I couldn't help it .

He started spending a lot time with me, he would crack jokes and wait for my reaction, he brought me my favourite chocolate, ice cream etc etc.

But all he could get is a blank stare from me. What did he expect? His attempts of cracking jokes and bring my favourites will not help me bring myself back.

All he need to do is bring my family to me safe and sound.

After his all ineffectual efforts he even yelled at me, coming back to his devil form hoping I would react, but sadly he failed again.

He kneeled in front of me and told me that he has hired a detective to find my family. That brought a little hope because I know he is very determined in getting what he wants.

He sensed my change, smiled and left for his work after pecking my forehead.

I got up from my bed and found it was raining . My eyes landed on his phone on the bed.

I can't find a source to send his phone to him, if he wants he will do something to take it.

Just the way he took me....

Moreover I really didn't care since I have many things to worry about .

It's thundering and raining heavily , my instinct told me that something terrible was about to happen. I usually love rain but mom always let me not play in rain because of my sinusitis.

Mommy please come back to me I want you, I love you so much.

I found a nest in the corner of my balcony, how did I missed it? I also found a nestling on the floor in rain and striving for it's life .

It's a newborn, it was so small and cute, it struggled to reach it's place but it can't , because it's lacking wings and couldn't fly.

I saw myself in that nestling , I quickly ran out without bothering the rain and carefully took the chick in my hand and placed in the nest.

I found it's mommy bird covers it with it's wings along with it's other siblings , that sight was lovely, but at the same time I found myself jealous.

I wish I were that small life which seeks happiness and warmth from it's family.

When I was about to turn, I found someone waving hand at me just outside the compound. It was a girl and a boy but I couldn't find who, because of the heavy rain.

I scrutinized my eyes and finally I could see the hope of my life there , even though I couldn't find who the boy was.
It was Sano.... Sanofar!!

I didn't care about the guy instead I started to wave my hands at her and I smiled after three days... My tears were not visible because of the rain , also I got the tingling sensation in my nose which means I am going to sneeze and I know what will be the end of that show.

But I didn't care, I kept grinning and waving my hands at her and I could not find words because of happiness.

Suddenly there was a bang...............

A broken piece of something was near my foot, may be a vase. My vision turned to that direction before my legs, and I could find a deadly furious man there.......

His eyes were dark filled with fury and rage, his palms in fists , his ears were red, his teeth clenched and nerves were visible in his forehead.

It was......was Ahad.

He looked beyond scary, I have never seen this version of Ahad , of course I know his anger issues, but this side of him is terrific. I stood like a scaredy cat.

He took steps forward and I took backward, he pulled me inside the room by my arms. His grip was so strong and painful, I knew definitely it would leave marks.

I struggled to free my arms but he didn't allow me instead he tightened his grip which made me wince in pain.

But he didn't care... What happened all on a sudden ?

He pulled me closer and spoke in a husky low tone "I have been trying like crazy to make you smile even though you closed all the doors of hope for me, making me fell flat on my face.

But...... but his mere presence could make you grin isn't it? "

What is he taking? And whom he is talking about ? I have no clue, I was shaking and trembling in front of this erupting volcano.

Somehow I managed to bring my voice " It..... It was Sano, my frie-" he didn't let me speak he cut me off and pushed me to the balcony simultaneously yelling at me "Just shut up"

My head hit on the railing with a sharp pain. He didn't notice that.

"Don't you dare lie to me Zoya, I just hate when people lie, especially YOU. And I think you deserve punishment for this . You are going to stay here until I come back. "

With a swift moment he locked the glass door of the balcony leaving me there. I reached the door and banged it hoping he would open , but he didn't . I begged him and even apologized for something I have not done, even though he left me there for the brooding rain.

What did I do to deserve all this, I turned to find Sano but she was no more there and I couldn't find any men even in the garden. I screamed and yelled for help but of no use.

It started to rain drastically the balcony was wide open so I couldn't hide anywhere and then my sinusitis started it's work, I was sneezing and sneezing until my stomach and chest started to ache.

I had no energy left, after few second I fell on the ground sneezing frantically. I saw the nest and the birds at the corner.

It was so much like the mother bird wanted to save me within it's feathers but I am so big to accommodate the shelter. I mumbled a thank you to it, and started to black out, three faces flashed in front of me before darkness consumed me...

My dad

My mom

and

Ahad.........

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

Before an hour....

Ahad's pov :

I was trying my luck hard to bring herself back but all my attempts are in vain. She seemed so lost and helpless. I want my doll back not this person in front of me.

So I told her about I hiring a detective for which I could sense the change in her demeanor. I pecked her forehead and left for work.

My car stopped at the signal and I searched my phone but couldn't find it. Oh my I left it back home.

I took a turn and drove back to house, it's raining heavily. I found a girl at my entrance near a car waving hands at Zoya and my eyes fell on the man responsible for the pain of my life.

Arhaan.....

But what pained me more was Zoya was grinning and waving hands at him. I asked the security to deal with them.

I went inside my mansion and and dashed into the room

She was so busy grinning at Arhaan that she didn't see me enter our room, the beast inside me roared with frustration. And I decided to give Zoya, a piece of mind so locked her in the balcony.

I know I was behaving very harsh with her but she deserves it. I was going insane of the fact that she like him but not me.

She is begging me to open the door , my love for her wanted to but the beast in me got the upper hand. So I took my phone, and left the room being her locked in the balcony.

She will not repeat this mistake again.....

I reached my office today I got an important meeting but couldn't concentrate, all I could think about was Zoya.

All the share holders , partners, investors and other business associates were assembled in the conference hall.

The meeting started but I wasn't paying attention.

Suddenly the door opened and there came in Mr . Salim Mohmad the main investor of my current project. His black suit was wet, seemed drenched in rain and he excused when he sneezed.

"Sorry gentlemen stuck with rain, so I hope I am not so late. " He told us.

Some of the members told it was ok and I kept it short with a nod. He sat on his chair and sneezed twice.

" Damn!! This sinuses. " he muttered under his breath.

I have sinusitis .

Zoya's word rang the bell in my mind. What have I done??

Without caring about anything I dashed out of the conference room and then from my office. I was driving so fast in heavy rain but I didn't care.

I just didn't care I have been dialing her number then realized that I broke her phone.

Disaster!!

Then I tried my landline but no answer. I kept trying till I reach my mansion but nobody picked it. God I am gonna fire all my maids for this.

I reached my house within the estimated time. I horned my car but my security is missing in the enterence .

Where the hell they all went today?

I got down the car and opened the gate myself ,I ran all the way to reach the front door the rain water falling on me it was cold really cold.... Oh my God....

I climbed the stairs and got inside my room. I found Zoya lying on the floor through the glass door...

No... No.... No...........

I opened the door and dashed inside to found my doll lying limp . My heart skipped a beat seeing her in that condition and mainly it was because of me. I wanted to die........

I carried her bridal style to my bed. She was cold as ice, her face was pale, I shook her to get her consciousness.

"Come on love, open your eyes. "

I started to rub her palms and foot but still that didn't help her to wake up .

Fear consumed me. I wanted to check her breathing but I am scared.... Really scared. I brought my palm to her nose to find her breathing but it was very faint as if it could stop any moment.

No this can't happen, I can't loose her just when I got her after so much struggle. I want her back. I want my love, My doll, My wife, My Zoya.......

I carried her to the car to get to the hospital. Through out the drive I kept yelling her name. Pleading her to wake up but she didn't.

I got to the hospital but didn't wait for the stretcher. I carried her in my arms, close to my heart and went inside the hospital.

I laid her on the bed inside the emergency ward, the doctor examined her . He turned to my side and gave me an ' impossible ' look.

No.... No.... This can't happen....... I shook her, I shook her frantically and yelled her name, tears were rolling down my cheeks.

I laid on her, my head on her chest and whispered " DONT LEAVE ME "

Soon I was pushed outside, I kneeled down onto the floor and cried in front of the closed door.

I remember when I cried like this. It was four years back when she left me...

Now I am crying for my doll , she is here because of me. Because of my anger, I realized how much I love Zoya . I don't know why but my world stopped without her.

Come back doll, come back..... scold me, hit me, kill me for doing this to you. But don't leave me

DON'T LEAVE ME !!!

--------------------------------------------
Love is messier......

True.... I agree with this quote , how many of you say yes.... But Alhamdhulillah, I am single 😉😉😉

Assalamu allaikum and Hello to all my lovely readers.

How was the chapter ?? I know this is a little serious one , I want Ahad to realize how delicate is Zoya and how much he love her. He should know how to take care of her. This chapter is important for Ahya's (Ahad and Zoya) bonding.

Many may be confused about the sudden showing up of Sano and Arhaan it will be explained clearly in the next chapter.

Poor Zoya, pray for her to get well soon 😭😞and Don't hate Ahad so much, you will see his romantic side in the upcoming chapters 😛
