I forgot to mention in the last chapter that the divorce giving way of Zayaan might not be authentic or according to the Islamic law.
Please keep in mind this is a fictional story and a lot of fictional and unrealistic things are and will be mentioned here.

One more thing...
Do I need to change my uploading time?
I've noticed many readers find it difficult to wait until midnight for the update.
Should I update on some other appropriate time like evening, afternoon or late morning even?
I've seen that some readers even adjusted thier sleeping times to read the updates.

Teri Mohabbat mei fannah ho jau
Teri aag mei pighal jau.
Tere khatir agar tuth k bikhar bhi jaau
Toh koi gum nahi.

Uddhav's POV,
I helped my wife with the car's seatbelt as she was busy devouring her cornetto. We just came back from her ultrasound. Our bundle of joy is of 5 months now inside her.

Now that it's of 5 months we could see it's body perfectly in the sonography. Only 4 more months or even less till we have him or her in our arms. I want a son though, although a daughter will be much cuter and she'll be daddy's little girl. If it's a boy, he'll be his mumma's boy and I'll get jealous.
Then I want a girl.

"What are you looking at darling?" Geeta asked looking at me innocently.

Ahh! Am I really ready to share my Geeta's love?

"You." I said wiping the corner of her plump lips with my thumb as I licked it.

"What? I'm not sharing." She said with her mouthful. I grinned at her cuteness. She's become a bit chubby now with our baby. Soo adorable, that whatever she does is cute.
"Really? Then I'll just take it." Leaning closer, I took my chance to take a big bite out of it.

She gasped loudly slapping my chest.
"Uddhav how dare you?!" She pouted grumpily.

I swallowed the mouthful with quite difficulty as I struggled through my laughs.

"Just like this if our baby doesn't share you with me.... I'll just take you too." I warned her.

She scoffed.
"Yeah right! Just see how I give all my love and time to our baby and none to you." She said sticking her tongue out.

I laughed loudly.
"Don't underestimate my Geeta." unbuckling my seatbelt I abruptly brought my face close to hers hovering over her on the seat and as always my darling let her guard down almost immediately forgetting her icecream which was melting in her hand.
"If you try to ignore me...." I whispered moving my fingertips down her face and neck as I noticed her gulp.
"Then I'll just have to kidnap you...and then...."

"A...And then what?" She breathed gazing into my eyes with anticipation.

I placed my lips over hers in such a way that they only slightly brushed eachother when we spoke. Our hot breaths tickling eachother's lips.
"...then...you know what."

Suddenly she pushed me keeping a hand on her abdomen.
"Chee chee Uddhav. Have some shame! You're saying such things in front of the baby! See even the baby is mad."

I frowned touching her abdomen as our baby started stirring. But soon a smile came on my lips feeling it.
"No my innocent Geeta. See, even the baby is excited for it." I winked.

She gasped hitting me again.
"Shameless! That too we are in the car in broad daylight in front of a hospital.

I chuckled. Just then her eyes went on her melting icecream.

"Oh no! My icecream!!!" She pouted ready to cry.

"Oh no no please don't cry baby...." Taking her hand I licked off the trail of the icecream dripping down her wrist on her arm. I took my time licking and sucking on her fingers as she held the cone in her hands. She was trembling at just my mere touch and when I looked up at her, her eyes were full of lust as she bit her lip.

I smirked.

One of the perks for me of her pregnancy is that, she gets soo horny quite often.

I was about to claim her lips, but we heard a car honking at us from behind. Geeta pushed me abruptly turning crimson.

That asshole! Looks like he had a brawl with his wife that he's taking out his frustrating on us. Just so you don't have romance in your life doesn't mean you need to ruin ours too. I should just break his hands off, which I could've probably done if I was still with the gang.

"Let's just go home Uddhav."

I sighed
"Fine! I can't wait to get home anyways. So that I can...."

"Shhh." She scowled keeping a protective hand over her abdomen.
"The baby can hear you."

I laughed.
"The baby can hear you too when you are all ohh Uddhav...ahh ahh Uddhav... Go faster Uddhav.... I'm cu..."

She started hitting whatever part of my body she could as her face was soo adorably red.
"You're soo shameless Uddhav! You can only think about that."

"Ok sorry sorry,... now please stop before you end up killing me my Jhasi ki rani." I said laughing.

She turned away huffing. Hayee!
I buckled her seatbelt and turned to buckle mine not before giving a naughty lick to her sweet lips.

****
"Inarah bhabhi went to Oxford University?! Wow!" Geeta said looking at her Instagram.
"It's soo big! I can't believe it's just a single college. It looks like an entire city."

I smiled busy driving.

"Inarah bhabhi deserves all the happiness in the world because she always goes around spreading happiness in other people's lives."

"Geeta?"

"Hm?"

"Have you ever thought about going to college?" I looked at her curiously as we stopped at a signal.

I thought she'd get upset but instead she looked at me and smiled.
"Maybe, but now that I have you and our baby, you 2 are all I want."

I smiled at her innocent smile. How did someone like me ended up finding such a loving woman. What I wouldn't do for my woman!

I enterwined our fingers.
"Don't worry Geeta, very soon I'll make all your wishes come true. Even of college." I kissed her hand.

She smiled carrasing my face.
"All my dreams have already come true with you Uddhav....you know Inarah bhabhi is soo beautiful, smart, and..."

I frowned. We were just having a romantic moment, then where did Inarah bhabhi come from?
"Geeta, do you love me or Inarah bhabhi?"

She giggled.
"You of course, but what can I do? She's just soo nice, like an angel. Zayaan bhaiya is really lucky to have her."

At this my smile vanished.
"They're getting divorced Geeta. Zayaan bhai and Inarah bhabhi."

She looked at me in utter shock. Throughout the way she was silent till we got home.
"Geeta, we're home baby." I said parking the car in the garage as she seemed out of sorts.

"They loved eachother soo much, you could literally see it in thier eyes. Then what happened? How... how can they just..." She hiccuped sobbing. I sighed pulling her in my arms.
Everyone is upset and shocked with the news too and I can't even imagine what bhai is going through. He's like a lifeless machine when I last saw him during our house warming.

"U...uddhav, d... don't ever le...ave...my side please.... I.... I don't know...what... I..."

"Shhh. Don't say that my Geeta. I Love you more than anything else. I'll never leave your side even for a second. I promise."

She raised her head as my heart clenched seeing her tears which I kissed away and sealed my mouth on hers as she kissed me madly.

"Geeta... let's get inside first. This car is too cramped for love making." I grinned.

She blushed catching her breath and nodded.

Smiling, I opened the door for her as we walked to our new home. Our safe haven....our own little world.

But we weren't aware that our little haven was about to come crashing down soon.

As I was about to unlock the door, I froze as the lock was broken. I pulled Geeta back protectively as my instincts were on high alert.

Someone was inside....and it wasn't just a single person or a petty thief.

"Geeta...go back to the car and do not come out." I whispered sternly.

"Why Uddhav? Is.... something wrong?"

I turned back finding her anxious face. I cannot worry her like that. It's not good for her nor our baby.

"It's nothing....just um.... I think I forgot to lock the door." I said hiding the broken lock. She frowned sensing my lie. Just then a loud noise came from inside making my wife squeal. I pulled her in my arms immediately kicking the door open and my eyes widened to find 6-8 men inside....South Indian men and I already knew who sent them.

"Welcome! Welcome Uddhav and Geeta. This is your own house of course, why are you so shy?" The men moved revealing the perpetrator.

It was that bastard Surya Murthy!

"We are just your guest for today. Sorry we barged in uninvited. You have quite a lovely home I must say." He smiled sitting like a King in our living room on the sofa.

I held on to Geeta protectively who was shaking with fear.
"A guest shouldn't just barge in uninvited when the owners aren't home Murthy ji. It's bad manners." I said with sarcasm dripping in my voice.

He laughed.

I turned to move Geeta safely to the car but there were already 2 men blocking our path. Geeta clutched at my shirt while keeping her other hand protectively over her belly.

"Why are you in a hurry Uddhav? You just got home. Come on! Let's sit and chat a little. It looks like you have a new family member joining you soon. How very nice! A gangster and a prostitute trying to live a normal life? How interesting! I'm sure your child will be very excited to tell people what kind of people his or her parents used to be." He said walking towards us.

I glared at him.
"I don't suppose you're here to congratulate us."

"Of course I am. See, I even brought my boys.... bearing gifts."

As he said that we the men gathered around us with hockey sticks and chains.

"U... Uddhav...." Geeta whimpered in my chest as I held her tighter. Not gonna deny, I was scared. But I didn't care about myself, I was only worried about my Geeta and our baby. I had to protect them.

"Murthy ji, what is all this about? We can talk over it. Whatever you want, do it with me, keep my wife out of this." I tried to negotiate with him.

"No... no please Uddhav." Geeta whimpered. I carased her face as my eyes were still on Murthy.

"A man with a weakness is an delectable sight indeed. But you see boy, I don't work like that. You destroyed my drug consignment and that hurt me really badly. 25 million dollars worth badly. I like to hurt the person ten times more then how they have troubled me. That's why no one dares to mess with Surya Murthy. I guess you had forgotten about it, so I most happily will remind you of it....so that you'll never forget...or if, you and your pretty little wife even live to remember."

I smirked.
"You dared to sneak in your filthy load into our territory without permission. There was no way we could allow it."

He nodded.
"Ah! How very loyal! I respect men like you. But what use is that loyalty now when you're no longer in the gang. You're all alone... helpless and completely at my mercy. But, I am not someone who finds fun in giving mercy."

"I'm in no need of something soo pathetic either!"

The men behind us lunged at me as I pushed Geeta to a side making sure she maintains her balance and grabbed the right guy's hockey stick while kicking the other in his solar plexus. Snatching the stick using all my force, I quickly slammed it at the back of that fat man's head breaking the stick along with his skull as he fell down unconscious over the 1st guy. I could hear my darling screaming and crying making my heart clench.

"Bravo!" Murthy was clapping.
"Zayaan's men are really no joke huh. That's why I wanted him to be my son in law."

Ignoring him I grabbed Geeta's hand running with her but my body spasmed as a hot bullet pierced at the back of my thigh and I fell on my knee.

Third person POV,
Fighting through the unbearable pain he got up again as Geeta cried and screamed for her husband. Seeing him in pain was her biggest nightmare and that nightmare had turned into a hellish reality for her.

"UDDHAV!!!"

Blood oozed like a running tap from his thigh yet he limped trying to save her. She and thier child were the only thing in his mind.

Another gun was pointed towards them....this time on Geeta and right on time Uddhav noticed and pulled her to him shielding her and it was as if everything went on a standstill. Both thier eyes widened, tears freezing on the brim of thier terrified eyes as they gazed at eachother in fear and agony. The bullet had pierced through his back.

"G...geet....".

"Uddhav! UDDHAV!!! AAAHHH!!!"

Before the terrified girl could even hold her bleeding husband in her arms she was yanked back agonisingly by her hair. The pain and the loss of blood was making it difficult for him to even keep his eyes open. He was squirming on the ground covered in his own blood under the blazing afternoon sun. No one was around to help them. Yet he, with great difficulty propped himself up on all fours grimacing as he saw the way his delicate wife was being manhandled by that man soo brutally. He wanted to cut of that man's hands before cutting off his head.

"L...let go of...her!" He growled like a wounded wild animal.

Even though he was hurt, she was the one feeling his pain. She was scared beyond words, yes, but she was more scared for him.
Both of them, at that very moment had forgotten about themselves, thier hearts bleeding for the other and just wanted the other safe.

"Tell you what, I'll spare you. Just give me this whore to be stripped naked and fucked by all my guys. Let them satisfy themselves, then you 2 can go back living your merry lives....if, even after that you want her back that is?"
Murthy said laughing at thier pitiful state while, hearing this all those men glued thier dirty lustful eyes on Geeta

"SHUT UP you filthy old rotten scum!" Uddhav growled as his blood fumed. He gathered himself up on his feet and lunged at the man holding his wife.
"Don't you dare....say anything about my Geeta!"

But he was kicked right over his wound as his face met the floor, coughing out blood.

Geeta wailed and cried seeing his condition.
She didn't care about what happened to her anymore. She had been a prostitute for a while so she didn't care about her body. If she could save her husband at the cost of her body....

"DO IT! Do whatever you want with me...but please...." She cried out with an aching heart joining her hands begging.
".... please Saheb. Spare my husband....my Uddhav... please..."

"Geeta!"

"Now this is called Love." Murthy clapped enjoying the view. He then gestured the man and he pushed Geeta toward Uddhav as she took the fall on her arms protecting her abdomen.

Without wasting a second, she crawled towards her husband fighting her wobbly knees and hands but before she could even touch her almost unconscious husband a harsh kick fell on her face and she fell on her back whimpering in pain.

Her baby! She had to protect it....but her husband....her Uddhav!

Her head went blank....she was helpless, terrified....she prayed and yelled to the skies but there was no help.

The man started kicking her mercilessly as she curled into a ball to protect her baby. Uddhav opened his eyes, struggling through his blurry vision and burning throat due to the vigorous loss of blood and when he saw what they were doing to his wife, it was as if a new life flowed into him as he growled, fire blazing in his eyes, clothes soaked in blood, he stood up and lunged towards the man and with one punch he was on the floor, another man tried to pull him away but Uddhav overthrew him and somehow managed to snap his neck killing him

The men were in awe how such a wounded man, who was already on the verge of death was still moving, hell, he was like a possessed demon.

Crying tears of blood he gathered his unconscious Geeta in his arms. Shoe marks prominent on her beautiful body, covered in bruises and bloody.

"Ge... Geeta!"

He glared at the monster who did this.
"SURYA MURTHY YOU BASTARD! I WILL KILL YOU"

Just then...two bullets fired at him....and holding his Love in his arms, all the happy moments of them together played like a movie in front of his eyes.
The time he met her, the way she cried like a baby, the way they kissed, when he proposed to her, how beautiful she looked in the dress he first gifted her...thier wedding, when they moved into thier new home, seeing thier baby in the ultrasound....

Uddhav....my Uddhav....my darling....

And then....

Everything was over....just like that!

****
Zayaan's POV,
Lifeless....

That's how I am every moment of my life. I have forgotten how it was to feel alive...to smile....or to even breath. The sun rises and sets, the moon comes up....then disappears all the same even without my Jaan beside me. How selfish! How can it all be the same? Was it always the same? I never noticed, because, my day began with my Inarah's smile, continued with her melodious voice, and ended with racing my heart with her surprises....

But not anymore.

Just like a mechanical routine, I got up, bathed and suited up to go to office. Suddenly, the door of my room bursted open....

"BHAI!"

Raghav ran in with a horrified look on his face.

"Wha..." Before I could even say anything.

"Uddhav bhai and Geeta bhabhi....th...they....."

****
Anger and fear raged inside me as I saw them both laying soo lifeless on the beds in 2 different ICUs connected by soo many machines that thier faces were hardly visible.

That innocent little girl. I could still see her smiling and giggling in my vision. She was soo happy during thier wedding.
What was thier fault? That he left the gang?! This is exactly what we were worried about. I should've never allowed him to leave. It's my fault too. If he was still a part of the gang, no one would've even dared to raise even an eye on them.

I could've protected them...but I failed them.

"Come with me. I'll protect you from now on. I'll give you a place where you can belong... you'll be stronger and able to protect everyone you want".

"Can I really do that saheb?"

"I never back on my word."

I broke my word to you Uddhav!
I'm sorry!

The doctor walked out with a tensed expression on his face and when he saw me, he let out a heavy sigh.

"How are they Aahil?"

This hospital is owned by me and Aahil has been with us since almost the beginning. He clutched my shoulder taking me to his cabin.

"Geeta will wake up within a few hours but..... for Uddhav, the chances are quite thin of him.... even waking up."

I shut my eyes in anguish as guilt and fear overwhelmed me. Now, I already figured out the answer to the dreaded question yet I dared to ask it...

"What about....thier child?"

He gave me a sorry look.
"We had to abort the fetus in order to save her life. It seemed she struggled a lot to protect her baby but...if we had given priority to save the baby, we would have lost the mother and child both. Her 2 ribs are broken and 3 cracked, while her left wrist was dislocated and right arm has a major fracture and there are bruises all over. Also it seems, she received a hit or two on her abdomen. I mean, to what extent could a fragile pregnant girl bear the harsh kicks of grown men.

I clenched my jaw and fisted my hands as I took in the information. Those beasts!
How could they so such things to a pregnant innocent weak little girl?

"And.... Uddhav?"

"He's worst. 4 bullets. One behind his right thigh, one below the left shoulder and two in his heart. One of which slightly missed the left valve. While his couple ribs and knee cap are damaged too. Including dislocated libs. We got all the bullets out in the 3 hours long operation. Still, it will be a miracle if he survives." He said patting my shoulder and left for his rounds.

I almost collapsed on his desk in front of me.

Is there really no way to escape this oblivion? All he wanted was a fresh start and a new life with her....was it really too much to ask?

Surya Murthy! He dared to provoke the beast inside of me. Now .... he has to face the devil himself.

They'll pay! All of them!
With thier lives!!!

****
Within 48 hours I received a call that Geeta regained consciousness. I rushed to her immediately but, even before I could even reach the ICU... I could hear her screams.

"NOOOOOO..... UDDHAV.....WHERE IS HE.....MY.....MY BABY ...WHERE....IS...WHERE IS MY BABY.... DIDI.... PLEASE.....I CAN'T FEEL MY BABY.....WHERE IS MY UDDHAV. PLEASE TAKE ME TO HIM.....UDDHHHHAAAVVVV...."

She was wailing and crying and my heart clenched just hearing her that I had no strength to face the innocent child. Even the guys stood outside with a pained and helpless expression on thier faces yet the fire of revenge burning in thier eyes.

I took a few deep breaths as I opened the door clenching my jaw. However, as soon as I opened the door my eyes widened as I saw Heena in front of me wiping her tears.

No way! If she's here then....

My heart skipped a beat as I was too afraid to look on my right. At the one who was holding on to the crying girl, trying to console her while she couldn't even control her own tears.

Those honey eyes sparkling with tears met mine. Wet pink lips parted as her silent sobs struggled to stay in.

The fresh breath found my lungs again ending my suffocation, my eyes moistened, body trembling and my heart found it's beat again as....

My Jaan was back....
