A loud slap echoed throughout the whole hospital lobby. Wajid Alam Shah's first son, the eldest one, was standing with his head bowing down in shame. The anger radiating from his father's eyes was something made him feel guilty and ashamed. This 6 ft hulky man was shivering just by his father's one glare.

Wajid Alam Shah was gritting his teeths in pure rage. He never thought that his son would ever do this to a fragile soul. She was hospitalised because of him. "Kya kiya tumne uss masoom ke sath?" Asked Wajid dangerously. So dangerously that Ziya too shivered seeing the same fire flames in his eyes that she witnessed when him killing his enemies.

"Wajid Sahab" she whispered softly holding his arm. Wajid looked at her with sharp gaze and she quickly backed off. She fears this scary man.

Wajid turned back to his elder son, "jawab h?" Ruhaan nodded in no, "galti ho gyi baba" he murmured in low voice.

Wajid chuckled hoarsely and gripped his neck making everyone gasp woth horror. "Galti? Ye galti nhi h, tum meri aulad ho, or me apni aulad ki rag rag se wakif hu, tume kya laga sirf tum pta laga skte ho Rooh kiski beti h?" Wajid whispered with venom.

Ruhaan's eyes widened, "or ab tum usse uske baap ki kiye ki saza de rahe ho, hena?" Wajid said glaring at him and tightened his hold around Ruhaan's neck. Ziya cried more, pleading, "wajid chore unhe, humara beta h woh, choreee... choreeee" she cried more.

Saad and Rehab held Wajid's shoulder, "baba leave bhai" Saad said pleading.

"Ruhaan Wajid Alam Shah, agar ainda kisi ki aulad ko uske kiye gunnah ke saza di, toh bhul jana me tumara baap hu" Wajid said and left him. Ruhaan choked and coughed. Ziya hugged him and cried buckets.

Saim dragged Wajid out, "pagal ho gye ho? Woh bache h"

"Or wo kisi ki bachi nhi h kya? Rooh ko bhi dard hua hoga na!" Wajid said angrily. Saim soften his eyes, "janta hu Wajid, lekin Ruhaan bss apna farz nibha rha h, ye sab karwaya kisi insan ne nhi h, ye sab halat ka khel h, hume unhe smjhana hoga" Saim said patting his head.

Wajid sighed and nodded his head. "Wajid wo tujse bhot pyar krta h, usse yaad h Sameer ne kese teri izzat se khel ne ki koshish ki thi, or Rubi ko kese uss nark me bhej tha, Wo bss usi baat ka badla le rha h, me janta hu Rooh bekasur h, lekin hum kis liye h? Hume ye facts clear karne hoge" Saim said making his nod.

While here Ruhaan was numb, his father never slapped him in his whole life. His mother whimpered touching his red cheek. He looked at his mother's teary eyes and asked, "kya me wakiye bura beta hu?" Ziya being a mother nodded in no.

Meanwhile the doctor examined Rooh and announced, "patient ka husband kon h?" Ruhaan came forward with no emotion.

"Ap Ruhaan h? She is asking for you" Hearing this Ruhaan was shocked. He knew what he tried to do with her but still she was asking for him. He felt more guilty and ashamed. "Bhai you should go" Saad said making him nod in no.

Eira being traumatised by this whole situation angrily stood up saying, "koi zarurat nhi, wo toh masoom h or hevan h, zrur usse daraya dhmakaya hoga, Saad let me meet her"

Hearing this Ruhaan just backed off, Rehab tried his best to stop him. But Ruhaan was not in mood to hear anyone.

Roohi and Eira dashed into Rooh's room, she was looking pale and weak. Eira quickly rushed to hug her soul sister. Her little muchin. "Meri jaan kesi ho ab?" She asked caressing her cheek.

"I.. Allhmdullillah bhabi.. plz unhe bula dijye" Rooh whispered softly clutching her fists near her heart. Roohi frowned at her words, "Rooh tum aram karo tension mat lo, uncle ne Ruhaan bhai ki ache se khabar li h"

Rooh nodded in no, letting her tears roll down her eyes. She broke into sobs. Roohi and Eira panicked, "plz bula de ap unhe, hume.. darr lag rha h, jab wo humare paas nhi hote h toh humara dil zoro se dhakta h, kahi kuch galat na ho jaye." Rooh cried saying this.

Roohi and Eira were confused at her words. Wasn't not she a psychopath? "Rooh tum kyu aese bebas ladkiyo je trha darr rahi ho, tum toh bhot bahadur ho" Roohi said trying to calm her down. .

While Eira was in deep thoughts. "Roohi call karo Ruhaan ko" Eira said softly.

Roohi's jaw drop to ground, "ji? Bhabi ap toh itne open minded ho, fir kyu ap?" Roohi was confused that why Eira was suddenly supporting Rooh. Didn't  just Rooh witnessed his beast side. His carelessness made her suffer.

"Roohi baat sirf mohabbat ya dushmani ki nhi h, iski Rooh unke didar ki talabgar h, wo iski rooh me utar chuke h, agar wo isse zra bhi dur rahenge toh iski rooh har baar tadpegi, ye tadap inki rooho ko kahi chen naseeb nhi hone degi" Eira said making Roohi shivered at her words.

The intensity their bond carried made them worried about their own lives.

Roohi panicked seeing Rooh breathing heavily. She feared to let something bad happen to Rooh. "Me call karti hu, karti hu" Roohi, dialled his no with shivering hands.

Within 5 minutes, Ruhaan was back, Wajid glared at him. "Tum nhi miloge usse" Wajid warned him.

"Apke samne milunga or ap kuch bhi nhi kar payenge baba" Ruhaan said in a challenging tone.

Ziya gasped at this father son bickerings. She feared it might get serious and worse.

Saying this Ruhaan dashed into the room, seeing Rooh's pale form he quickly rushed towards her and pulled her into his arms. She relaxed in his arms. "Breath Rooh" he whispered softly.

All of a sudden, she gripped his tee and looked at him with her tired eyes, asking, "apne aese kyu kiya?" She asked innocently.

No words formed, with a tied tongue Ruhaan just caressed her hair, "me nhi janta Rooh, me bass apni mama or baba ke badla lena chahta hu, uss shaqs se jo tumra baap h" he whispered softly.

She chuckled in-between her sobs. "Apko kya lagta h? Apke sath galat karne wale shaqs kya apni beti ko sahi salamat chor denge?" She whispered and his eyes widened.

"Kya kiya uss badbhakt ne? Rooh btao muje... he asked with his loud beating heart and she fainted in his arms.

He yelled for the doctor and the doctor examined her. "Let her rest, unhe koi bhi mental stress mat dijye, also as a married couple i would like to suggest no intimacy until she is back to herself"

Ruhaan gave a short nod. Doubting his fate, he asked, "dr. Was she injected any type of medicine before I was called?"

The doctor nodded in yes. "Also Mr. Ruhaan i have witnessed some serious marks on her body, i hope u are not into human trafficking" the doctor asked making Ruhaan clench his jaw. Was his Rooh hurt? Did she faced anytype of violence?

While here Roohi was traumatized by Rooh's condition. She was more stressed y her words. Pacing back and forth, being restless she bumped to her husband. Who just sighed and ruffled her hair saying, "itni tension mat lo, wo thik ho jayegi"

"Hmm lekin Rehab ap muje ek baat batye" she asked innocently. Rehab gave a nod and motioned her to sit.

"Ji puchiye" he said streching his neck, arms.

"Ruhaan bhai misbehaved with her, but still she was hella bent to check upon him, to meet him, aesa kyu? I mean ya toh Rooh bhot sidhi h ya pakka koi default h" Roohi said making Rehab chuckled.

"Tume aesa kyu lgt h? I understand your point, lekin shayad wo janti ho Ruhaan ka koi galat intention nhi ho, ya kuch bhi ho sakta h" Rehab said shrugging. He was liking the fact that how she was worried for everyone.

"Lekin Eira bhabhi ne kaha Ki uski Rooh unki rooh ki talabgaar h? Kya wakiye aesa hota h? Hum jise chahte h uska gussa, uska bekadripaan bhi bardash kar sakte h?" She asked naively.

Rehab shrugged and said, "i don't know, muje bhi rooh se rooh tak wala pyar nhi hua, anyways change and sleep, kal uni bhi jana h" he said making her frown.

Being in deep thoughts, Roohi mumbled, "muje bhi ye rooh se rooh tak wala safar krna h" hearing such words Rehab chuckled shaking his head.

"Na karo toh acha h, insan isme barbad ho jata h" he whispered taking out his sweatpants and tee.

"Kyu? Apne kiya h kabhi?" She asked narrowing her eyes.

"Tume kyu btao" he asked narrowing his eyes. She huffed her cheeks and went out of their room. He smiled at her disappearing figure.

"Mohabbat bagawat ka dusra naam h, yaha roohe milti toh lekin sirf birchane ke liye" Rehab mumbled shaking his head. Less the four hearts knew that the seed of intense love was already sowen. With small thrones of jealousy, possessiveness with no limit growing, the thrones were so sharp that the could kill a person who dared to pluck of the small plant.
