Wajid couldn't be more furious. He clenched his jaw and motioned Saim to follow him. While Ruhaan narrowed his eyes at his baba. May be he knew who was behind this accident. As he took a step forward to follow his baba and Mamu. Ziya stopped him saying, "Ruhaan, Rooh or ap ghar jao, ap log thak gye hoge" she says ask Rooh was extremely exhausted. She looked tired.

Ruhaan glanced at Rooh, who nodded in no, "nhi mamma hum thik h" Rooh said softly, but Ruhaan could see how exhausted was she.

"Thi h mamma, me Rooh ko haveli drop

"Nhi Ruhaan, Rooh akeli haveli me rahi nhi h, kahi wo darr na jayenge, ap bhi aram kr lena, hum Rehab or Roohi ko bhi bhej denge" she said making him sigh and nod.

Rooh stood to leave, Ruhaan held her hand, as he couldn't risk her health, she was bit sleepy.

As they came towards their car. His phone rang, he motioned Rooh to sit in the car. She nodded, while answered the call. As he was conversing on phone. His eyes snapped to Wajid's car. He was sitting in his car talking to saim. Conversing on call, he paced a bit, until he was on the main road. And a truck was coming with a speed.

Rooh's eyes searched him, being sleepy due to medicines effect she badly needed to go haveli. She looked here and there finding Ruhaan standing on the footpath talking on phone. Meanwhile she also witness the two trucks coming to his direction from both the opposite sides.

She hurriedly hopped off the car.. grabbing his arm she pulled him into the safe area. As the two trucks collided with each other making a big explode. Ruhaan and Rooh, both falls down due to the sudden jerk. Her heart beated rapidly.

She looked here and there and didn't find him. This made her heart raced more. While a strong arm pulled her to his rock like chest making her sigh in relief. She closed her eyes, when his cologne hits her nostrils.

"Rooh"

"Ruhaan ji" they both whispered in unison. He hugged her closer to his heart, stroking her hair, he planted numerous kisses on her forehead. "Ap thik h?" She asked in scared tone. He nodded in yes, cupping her cheeks, "me thik hu, tum thik hona ?" He inquired checking if she got any hurt. She was all ready to cry.

"Apko kuch ho jata toh!" She managed to say and tears betrayed her eyes, rolling down her cheeks. Ruhaan couldn't help but just stare her teary face. She was worried, worried for him. Who hardly cared for her. Since beginning he was all a jerk with her, also tried to molest her, but she forgave him. And now she was worried for his life! Why is so easy going person? Just why? He thought. But then his mind mocked him, 'your mother is same as her, didn't she forgave your father for all his miseries?'

But again his heart mocked, 'my father never betrayed her!'

'Neither your wife is betraying you idiot, if she is an easy going person, naive, not capable to take decisions, than what are you doing? Teach her things she don't know, a husband's duty is to make his wife strong and independent so that in future, that's what a real man is' his heart mocked him.

He wiped away her tears, "me thik hu Rooh, jab tak Rooh sath h mere muje kya hona h?" He asked raising his eyebrows. She looked down.

"Chalo haveli chalte h hmm?" He asked softly, she nodded. Not leaving his hand for even a second. He drove to haveli, with his one hand gripped by her.

While here Rehab inquired the doctor about his mother's health. Which was going worse by the passing minute. Rehab couldn't hold back his tears, though he tried his best.

Roohi was with ziya, as her blood went high.

Meanwhile Eira and khans showed up. "Dad apne btana bhi zruri nhi smjha" Eira pouted at her her father in law for not telling her about Neziha's health.

"Beta apko takleef nhi dena cha rha tha, apki tabiyat kharab thi toh" Wajid said patting her head. As she was 9 months pregnant. Eira nodded and hummed.

Wajid felt a pat on his shoulder by Ahmed. He smiled sadly at his arrival. "Khan agar aj meri bhen ko ko ho jata h toh me dubara yateem ho jaonga" he says with heavy voice.

"Jiska khuda wo h, woh kabhi yateem nhi hota, hosala rkho" Ahmed said giving some strength to him. As they converse, Ahmed's eyes went to Roohi. "Wajid ye bachi?"

"Ye bachi apne ghar ki h khan, Rehab ki biwi h" wajid said frowing at Ahmed's memory. He mouthed oh. "Agar me galat nhi toh kya ye Rizwan ki beti h?" Ahmed asked to which Wajid gave a nod.

Meanwhile Saad came furiously, "baba, mamu  bade mamu phupho ka accident kisi or ne nhi Rizwan ke aadmiyo ne karaya h! Or Rizwan koi or nhi Roohi Rooh bhabi ke baba h" he drops the information making Roohi stiffened. All eyes snapped to her. "Ba khuda mami me nhi janti iss sab ke bare me" Roohi says feeling everyone's eyes on her now. She panicked.

Ziya gave her a side hug, "aese kyu dekh rahi h humari bachi ko, inhe mat shamil kariye apne dushmani me!" She says glaring at her husband and brothers.

Roohi's eyes welled up with tears. "Mere dad aesa nhi kar sakte, wo itne bure insan nhi h, saad bhai apko koi misunderstanding huyi h" she said with cracked up voice.

Saad sighed sadly, "kaash hoti Roohi, i am sorry" he says while all the attention shifts to Zareen as she cluthed her belly feeling bit pain. Mehzur quickly engulfed her and rushed for the doctor. Everything was messed up. Wajid couldn't handle this pain. His sister was fighting a battle with death. His family was suffering for the sin they never did.

Ahmed commanded his son Faraaz to look over the whole situation. He than asked Gaffar, Safan and Affan to keep an eyes on khan and Shah haveli. Family was his first priority.

The wait of 24 hours was finished. And Rehab's mother was declared to be safe, but she was weak, needed complete rest. Rehab couldn't be more than thankful to his creator. He kissed his mother's forehead numerous times.

Seeing this Roohi burst into tears. She feared if Rehab comes to know about this  accident what if she divorce her or even hate her?

But Ziya being her supporter warned everyone not to let Rehan knew who was behind the accident. Though everyone knew Rehan will find it by hook or crook.

"Ruhaan ko bhi pta nhi chalna chahye" Wajid announced, all nodded understanding.

While here, Roohi was taking small glimpse of her husband was was stroking his mother hand with love. He noticed it few times, "koi baat h Roohi?" He asked softly. She nodded in no, but her tears were not letting her say a word. He softly held her hand, turning completely towards her.

"What's wrong Roohi? Tum aese roougi toh meri himmat tut jayegi" he says softly wiping away her tears.

She could hold back her emotions. She knew only one thing. Any relationship cannot withstand upon lies. Its better to reveal the truth and leave the battle or even your loved one.

She mustered up all her courage, gulping the lumb of fear, guilt, sorrow, heart broken. She spoke with great difficulty. "Saad ne bataya, ki mamma ke accident ke piche .. Mere dad ka hath h, Rehab sach me muje iss bare kuch nhi pta tha kr na hi Rooh ko usse toh ye bhi nhi malom ki hum bhene h" she whispered holding his hand in a tight grip.

But as soon as she spoke this words. He loosen his grip and with clenched jaw he stood up. Roohi controlled her tears. She was ready to be hated or even divorced.

But Rehab, was a man if words. His one best quality was that he would think all the possible outcomes if a problem before reacting and creating any chaos. His opposite of Ruhaan.

While Ruhaan would have directly aimed his gun at her father.

"Roohi, tumara baap agar muje bhi maar dena toh me tume khudse alag nhi hone dunga, ye baat apne zehen me bitha lo" he says gripping her arm with a force. His words seems to be controlling and possess.

She was taken back by his words.

"Me ache se janta hu uska iske piche ka maksad, lekin ab tum btao tum kiske sath ho? Apne baba ke ya apne shohar ke?" He asked making her eyes widened.

His grip tightened around her arms. "Jawab sirf haa ya na" he says in his kost dominating voice. He knew she had already being an orphan suffered a lot. And if now he hated or divorced her it will kill her for sure.

"Ha me sirf apne sath hu" she says with no enery left in her body. He rubbed away her tears making her lean on him.

While here Ruhaan parked his car, with hand in hand, they entered the haveli. Saad's call made him sigh in relief about their phuphos health. As they entered the room. He says, "me fresh ho jata hu" as she was still holding his hand in a tight grip. Her small hands fitted perfectly in his larger ones.

She nodded and still didn't left his hand. He raised his eyebrows at her. Who looked at him confusingly. "Mohtarama haath toh choriye, mana ap ekloti biwi h meri aesi haq bhi mat jataye jo me sharma jau" he says to light up mood. Which indeed made her cheeks turned crimson. She quickly left his hand. While he smiled and miss her warmth.
