'What should I not know?' Eifad asked folding her arms, she eyed Farhan. He took more than a second to compose, he smiled, 'Oh no! You found out...we were...planning... a surprise...party...'

'Shut up, Farhan.' He quietened instantly. She glared at him still waiting for his answer. Farhan shook his head walking away, 'Eifad it is getting late you should....' Eifad held his arm tightly. Farhan turned, 'Tell me what are you two hiding from me?' Eifad said through clenched teeth. She didn't expect Farhan to hide things from her, she is hurt.

Farhan's expressions softened, he placed his palm over hers and moved her hand, he sighed holding her shoulder.

'Eifad, it's for your good.'

'Bullshit.' Eifad jerked his hands away, 'Just tell me or I swear this will be our last meeting.' She said. One look and Farhan knew she is serious.

'I am sorry, Eifad. But I can't say.' He said helplessly

'You are ready to lose me but not tell the truth.' Eifad said.

'Your happiness and safety are my priority, and if it means losing you then.... but I can't tell you the truth... I am sorry.' He said. They looked at each other before Farhan walked into his room to get ready for work.

'Fine!' Eifad stamped her feet and angrily walked away. But, Eifad didn't leave she asked Tansen to leave and waited in a cab. When Farhan came out of the building, she watched him get a cab.

'Follow the cab.' She said. The driver nodded.

Eifad smiled wearing her sunglasses, 'Very well, if you don't want to tell me, Mr. Zafar, I will find out myself.'

Eifad rummaged through her handbag and couldn't believe her luck when she found Zara's scarf, she remembered stuffing it inside ages ago. She quickly wrapped it around her head covering half her face. She walked into the hospital following Farhan cautiously. It is one of the hospitals run by his NGO.

She saw him disappear into a small ward, she was about to follow him when a young man interrupted.

'Excuse me, Maam. May I help you.' Eifad looked at him annoyed but quickly composed herself.

'No, my husband is admitted here, I am waiting for the doctor.' She lied. The man nodded and was about to say but Eifad walked away. She hid behind a wall waiting for the man to walk away. He shrugged and walked away. Eifad quickly walked towards the ward. She hid behind the door.

There are Aisha and Farhan standing and speaking to each other in front of a bed and lying on it is a fragile looking man. Eifad doesn't recollect who this man is. Is he the secret? She looked back at Aisha and Farhan, both had a grim expression on their face. Farhan shook his head saying something to Aisha, they turned and Eifad quickly turned around. Adjusting her scarf, and she sat on the bench pretending to wait for someone.

Eifad found her heart stuck in her throat when Farhan paused in front of her, he looked at her carefully. She shifted.

'Maam...?'

'I am waiting for a doctor.'

'Which Doctor, I will call...'

'No, no, need.... he said he is coming.'

Eifad is relieved when after few seconds Farhan and Aisha walked away. Eifad sighed gratefully.

Eifad entered the ward. There are many beds and in all of them, there are people and their visitors. Everything looks like government hospital but with little better facilities. Eifad looked perplexedly at the fragile man.

He is dressed in a blue hospital gown and stared up. He looked like even one touch will break him. His hair has more greys than black. Eifad hesitantly took a step towards him. The man turned his head, Eifad squinted her eyes trying to recollect his face. She is about to leave when the man called in a meek voice.

'Eifad...'

Eifad stopped in her tracks....

'Hello, little sister....'

Eifad turned back sharply, her scarf loosening, it fell off her head. The man shifted little, a meek smile on his face. The meek smile that was once a menacing smirk. The smirk, the dark eyes that had been haunting Eifad, and still does at times. Eifad stared at him unblinkingly, she is rooted with shock. Though Eifad knew he is weak and they are in full public view and he won't hurt her but still sweat beads began forming on her forehead, her throat got parched, her heart beat raced as those traumatizing moments flashed before her eyes.

'Bhaiya.... please...please...stop.... you are hurting me....'

'Not a word or else....'

'Please Bhaiya.... don't...touch there...'

'Eifad.' Amaad tried sitting up but couldn't, even such a simple task seemed like a mountain for him. Slowly, Eifad began taking steps back, her gaze fixed on him.

'Eifad...please.' He said, his hand out.

Before Eifad could react, she felt everything spin and fell on the floor unconscious.
