Zoya's pov :

I am trying hard to swollow the lump in my throat but it was terribly difficult. I just couldn't believe my Ahad gone through so much in his life, and his sister.... nobody deserves a life like her.

I couldn't stop my tears, when I saw my husband in his most vulnerable state. The combination of his pain, his cruel past, our current situation and my aching foreleg was making me difficult to breath.

Ya Allah send someone to help us please... Ahad is bleeding badly and I don't want him to lose consciousness.

The next moment I saw a chopper and that was heading in our direction. I could see men wearing black suit with guns.

Are they here to kill us... Kill me..

I circled a protective arm around my Ahad just when he gave me an reassuring look and told me they are our men and were here to take us home safely.

Alhamdhulillah...

I gave a questioning look to Ahad and he told me " You must be wondering how did they get here isn't it? " I just nodded my head in positive.

"Look at this doll... My watch has got a tracker and the moment we were attacked I pressed this button to make sure our bodyguards reach us." he told me smiling but I could easily find out he was suffering with his memories.

I shouldn't have urged him to know the truth. I shouldn't have....

Soon the bodyguards guided us to the chopper and my hands started to shiver due to fear.. This is the first time I am boarding a helicopter.

Ahad pressed my hands with his and that helped to ease the situation. Once I got comfortable in there I asked one of the men for a First aid kit for Ahad.

He was losing so much blood...

_______________

We were currently in our bedroom I didn't want to take Ahad to the hospital so I called the doctor to our house. I didn't want to risk his life... I want his safety.

The doctor treated Ahad and asked him to take rest. He was sleeping soundly leaving me to fight my inner turmoil.

This can't be true... Ya Allah how could Arhaan do such things? And how come we didn't know about it after all we were family? None of my parents told me about this?

I couldn't doubt my Ahad not for anything but at the same time I couldn't believe Arhaan to be so cruel...

I walked to our bed and touched Ahad's forehead to stroke his hair, but to my utter shock he was burning like crazy.

How did he got fever? His temperature was normal before an hour. I panicked and called the doctor, he told me it was normal to get fever after a hit so nothing to worry. I just released the breath I was holding.

He prescribed some medicines and I sent one of our maids to get them. Allah please... Don't let my Ahad suffer more. Please...

I woke him up and gave him talblets. "Are you mad at me for not letting the doctor treat you? " he seemed like a kid questioning his mom. I didn't say anything instead hugged him close to my chest. After few minutes he slept.

Yes, Ahad didn't let Dr. Shekar treat me instead he bandaged my leg not caring his injured shoulder. This time I was not mad at him because I know the reason for his insecurities.

With that I went to pray despite ignoring the stinging sensation in my foreleg. I prayed for my husband, for his peace, for his happiness. I prayed for my Ahad.

Once I came back to my room the sight in front melted me. Ahad's mom was sitting on our bed with Ahad's head on her lap while crying silently her heart out.

My husband was deeply into sleep because of the medications and couldn't found his mom's muffled sobs. I couldn't stop my tears when I saw them both.

Razia mom might have done mistakes in her life but I think when it comes to Ahad she always loved him. All my hatred for that women flown away the moment I watched her eyes.... The pain was clearly evident. The pain of losing her child.

It doesn't mean someone to struggle throughout life for a mistake. She do deserves forgiveness if she realized her mistake... I know it took Aysha's life... But Ahad's rejection was also not gonna bring Aysha back.

Nothing is purest than a mother's love for her child, I know Ahad also loves his mother but he is hurting both of them as a repentance for Aysha...

I didn't interrupt their small moment and went to living room and waited for her. She came out after an hour with sniffing nose.

She came to me and gave a motherly hug " How did this happen dear?"

"Oh.. Actually.. We got an accident mom." I lied since I didn't want to scare her.

"Are you OK Zoya? " she asked me inspecting my body.

"Alhamdhulillah mom.... I am fine just a small wound here and there that's it. " I told her.

"Doll.... " We heard Ahad calling me.

"You go and take care both of you... And.... Ah... Please don't tell him I came here... he wi-" I cut her off and told her " You can trust me mom." she gave me a warm smile and left.

I really feel sorry for her.

I went inside to see Ahad awake. "Where were you? " he asked me resting his back on the headboard.

"In the living room.. How are you feeling now? " I asked him touching his forehead.

"Much better" thank God his temperature gone down.

I went to the kitchen immediately to prepare something for him to eat.. He must be hungry. I saw many bodyguards around our house may be for security reasons I think .

My husband hates porridge so I have to prepare something else. After 30 minutes I mixed the hot pepper Rasam (an Indian dish) with rice along with some potatoes and made my way to my room.

"It smells heavenly doll!" he told me.

"I hope you'll like it. "I fed him with a spoon.

"Mmmm I am loving it..." My mom always prepares Rasam whenever I fall sick, he made me eat along with him. My tired body finally decided to rest.

"I am sorry Zoya actually I wanted to spend time with you that's why I took you there in our car and really wasn't expecting all this. You are hurt because of me so please... I am sorry." he told.

"If someone is hurt here, then that's you, so please stop blaming yourself. " with that I went limp on his chest listening his heartbeat.

I opened my eyes after my nap only to found me cocooned to my husband. He was wide awake and staring at me with at most love.
"What's the time? " I asked him.

"That doesn't matter.... Sleep doll, you are tired. " he told me ruffling my hair. My hand on it's own accord went to his forehead to check his temperature which was stable. He took my palm and kissed it as a reflex.

"My God Ahad.... It's 9:00 already , argg... I slept too much. You must be hungry.. I didn't prepare anything. " I got up but he stopped me. " Relax love.... I know you are tired and I asked the maid to prepare our dinner. " I relaxed a bit.

"Listen carefully Zoya... There will be as many bodyguards around our house and you are not going anywhere alone at least not until I sort out this problem.
I want to find the son of that ***** who tried to kill you. I will show him hell." his knuckles tightened and eyes turned red. I hold his hand tight in order to keep him sane...

"Don't stress yourself Ahad... And you listen to me... You are not stepping out until you are completely fine. Now be like a good boy and eat, I'll go freshen up and bring our dinner up OK." I kissed his head and went to bring our dinner.

We had our dinner which was delicious and I gave him his tablets. After helping him to remove his T-shirt, I opened the balcony door for some fresh air but regretted at the moment.

"Ahh.....!!" I stepped back and jumped on on Ahad's lap after I saw an gigantic, 6 foot man in front of me with black glasses and gun in his hand.

Who the hell is he and why the hell he wears coolers at night.

I turned to Ahad and found him laughing his heart out at my condition. I gave an annoyed mixed angry glare to my husband and he stopped laughing at instant.

"Who the hell is he and what he is doing in our room? " I asked Ahad.

"I told you we have bodyguards surrounding our house love. " he winked at me.

"But not inside our room Ahad " I reasoned.

"But he was outside doll... In the balcony." he argued back.

"Is he here all the while even when we cuddled each other to sleep. " I asked him glaring like devil.

"Yes... But he was out and the room is sound proof he could nor hear anything neither see inside love since the door is closed and covered with curtains. " he told my looking into my eyes.

I took a long breath and went to the bodyguard " Brother.. I want you to wait outside for a while. We will call you if we want, may be you can have your dinner meanwhile, you must be hungry ."

"Thank you madam, I am not hungry it's my job and I'll wait out if you want. " he left the room.

The moment he went out I threw the bowl of coconut chutney on Ahad. "What the hell doll... " he faked anger suppressing his laugh.

"Hell because it's hell.. Ahad you asked another man to stand in our room just a wall aside and want me to stay with you here... What if.... Argg just forget it, he is not standing in my balcony and that's it. " I told him curtly.

"But baby it's for your safety." he reasoned me getting worried.

I took his palm in mine and told him " Can I tell you something... I don't mind all these bodyguards in our house... As far as I am with you... I am happy and I feel safe. "

I rested on his chest not bothering the chutney and told him " You know what? This is the most safest place for me in this world.. I don't want to fear if you are with me." He kissed my head hugging me tight and I mean what I told him.

"Tell me something you can't digest the fact a male doctor dressing my wound but here you kept a man standing in our balcony 24/7 ... This is ridiculous." He started to think, hahah the ball hit the court.

" OK... He is not gonna be inside our room, happy now? " he seethed.

"I love you " with that I kissed his cheek.

"Now just look at us doll , we are coated with chutney , come and clean me " he dragged me to the restroom.

I am glad that finally he laughed. I don't want to ask anything about his past.

A week passed, Ahad and I were spending our time together.. It's the best phase of my life. Ahad was back to his lovely form playing with me, helping in my studies, watching movies with me and... In spite of his injury he didn't stop making love to me. It was as if he found his world in me and wanted to forget everything and I am happy about it.

I was successful in making him forget his past throughout this week but I know it's temporary. I have to fix many things.. Ya Allah help me..

But I wasn't idol all the while, I took my first step and started to search about Aysha in the internet. After collecting enough information I asked one of our men to go to the library and bring the papers on the accurate date before four years related to Aysha and her death.

I am not gonna leave this... I have to find it . My husband should come out of his guilt.. I will find the culprit inshaallah and if it's Arhaan.... He can't escape this time. But if it's someone else I will prove Arhaan innocent and give back my husband his most trusted friend.

Tomorrow is my exam, I have to go to college... But my main motto is to meet my Sano and tell her everything I was saving for tomorrow. I am sure she will help me in this.

If Arhaan is the murderer... Then Sano have to part her way from him. I can't let my friend suffer.

I took a deep breath and hugged Ahad to let sleep takeover me and hoped a relishing morning inshaallah.......
