Aayana's POV –

Sunny shoots at Iqra. She is on the road. I am crawling to her. Within a second, I realize that Arif is here with her. Thank God, she is saved.

"Arrest him." Police are here too.

Sunny tries to escape but the Police squad surrounds us.

"Finally, get you red-handed. Due to the failings of proofs, you always get saved. How will you escape this time?" One officer is quite pissed off with Sunny.

"How long can you keep me in jail? This is not a crime to captivate me for a lifetime." Sunny is laughing devilishly.

I look at Iqra. She is groaning. Oh shit. Hitting the footpath stairs hurts her. Arif is checking on her. I try to stand but my leg is not giving me enough strength.

"I won't leave any of you." Sunny's baseless threat.

"And as always you can't harm us. Now, go to your real place. Then you might realize you lost the priceless diamond in the search for gold." His facial expression has changed. "Yes, Sana. I am talking about her. If you would change yourself then she would come back to you. Or at least you could try but now. There is no probability for you to get her back in your life. The love for which you used to show us the pain. I feel that is nothing but your ego. Because the person who loves someone by heart, never can harm other people." Sunny rushes to me and presses my cheeks harder.

"It's all because of you. You are the reason to start everything. Ira would never come between my love if it wasn't you. Just remember one thing, today or tomorrow, the next week or the next month. How long can your Ira stay saved? Anyone from us will harm her anyhow. Just get ready to mourn for your love." Police constables pull him back but his words are echoing into my ears.

They arrest him and leave in a while after arresting other goons over here.

Iqra is unable to move at all. Her right knee, elbow, forearm, and cheekbone are peeled and it's looking deep enough. Arif lifts her and Burak is here as well. He comes closer but I deny his help and stand by my own.

Arif rushes to me and lifts me as well.

"You can't walk, Aayana. Thankfully, you guys are not badly injured." He makes me sit in the car, which Burak brought.

"Who called you here?" I ask Burak quite harshly.

"No one, I was following Dr. Iqra. But in the middle, I lost her. That's why I couldn't reach you guys earlier." He is driving so I stay silent. Moreover, I'm not so interested in talking to him. I look at Iqra.

"How are you feeling?" I'm grateful that nothing is serious.

"I am good, it's nothing." Not only by name, Ira and she have so many things in common. Ignoring their own pain is one of those. We reached the hospital within 15 minutes. The road is blank as it's late midnight.

Sana is at the gate with other staff to take us with stretchers. Sana checks on my wound and asks a nurse to treat my wound. She leads Iqra with a different kind of attention. Is there anything else going on? I have to check on it. I giggle in my mind but how's my girl?

A nurse reaches, "Dr. Sana. Ma'am Ira is much better. Her pulse is normal now." I frown.

"What do you mean by 'now'?" I just hope that she is fine.

"She regained her senses and figured out the danger to you. She called Sunny and that time he shot at Iqra." I shiver at Sana's description of the situation.

"How's she?" "Is she okay?" Iqra and I utter together.

"Her stitches tore and she was bleeding. We had to stitch and rest of the treatment again." I am really worried now.

"Take me to her." I can't stay here.

"After your bandage. Ward boys will take you there." I nod at Sana and she denies the nurse to check Iqra. She is doing that personally. I smile at Sana's gesture.

After I am done with the bandage, I reach my girl. They help me to sit without putting pressure on my leg. Frankly, it's really painful. I hold Iru's hand. She is looking so pale. Please get well soon, my love.

Sana's POV –

Nothing serious happened to them. Thank God. The nurse attends to Aayana's wound so I am checking on Iqra. She has so many wounds.

"How did you get hurt like this?" I took the cotton and dipped it into an antiseptic. I am cleaning her knee's wound. She is sitting by leaning with a pillow.

"Arif pushed me to save me from the bullet." All of these are because of that Sunny.

"I am sorry." She looks at me surprisingly.

"Why are you being sorry?" She is still looking at me.

"Because of Sunny, you got hurt." She holds my hand.

"Then he should be the one to be sorry." I smiled slightly, so she did.

I concentrate on her wound. After the knee, I treated her hand and then the cheekbone.

"You are so strong. Usually, everyone groans at this antiseptic." I put a one-time bandage on her cheekbone.

"I am groaning more than others." I look at her shockingly.

"Did my audacity range change? I can't hear anything." I am waiting for her answer.

"So funny, I am groaning inside. I just don't want to show you, so I am biting my tongue." I start laughing at her statement.

"Don't act strong when you are in pain. You can show me your pain." I pull her chin and ask her to lie down.

"Ouch." I held her immediately.

"What happened?" She is holding her thorax area.

"Maybe I am hurt here as well." I lock the door and reach her. I take off her shirt and it's badly bruised with a little bit of peeled. I apply ointment and push a painkiller injection.

"You will feel better." I am roaming my hand on her head. I hope all of you get well soon.

Ira's POV –

I am feeling unbearable pain in my back but Aayu. I open my eyes and try to get up.

"Baby, calm down." Aayu's voice surprised me.

"Thank God. Thanks to God. You are here, baby. Love, how are you? How did you get here?" I am talking non-stop.

"Shh... I am here, in front of you. Please, don't move like this." She puts her hand on my chest and lays me down properly.

"I am fine. Just look at me." I am holding her left forearm.

"Are you sure?" I am pulling her closer.

"Baby, trust me. I am fine." She bents and puts a peck on my lips.

"How's Iqra? She was there." I forgot to ask about her.

"She is a little bit hurt. Sana is dressing her wound." That gives me tension.

"Where is she hurt? Is it deep? And that bullet. Did that harm her?" I am so desperate.

"Arif saved us. He pushed Iqra to save her from that bullet. She got hurt due to falling on the stairs." She explains to me that I am so worried now.

"I hope that is not so deep." She places her palm on my cheek.

"Don't worry, she is not badly injured." I blink in approval.

"Now, tell me how are you?" I am trying to look at her leg.

"It will be fine. More than this, your wound needs to be healed. Do you have any idea what you do?" She is now bossy.

"What did I do?" I am trying to act as cute as I can.

"Don't make this face." She pulls my lower lip.

"Ouch, baby. It hurts." I look at her.

"And why did you move so abruptly that caused your stitches to tear?" I lower my gaze as that is kind of serious.

"I was scared, baby. I thought that something happened to you." I pause as that is a hell of a thought to think.

"Then how was my state? There I was in the fear of losing you, baby. Now, can you promise me something?" She is closer to me.

"You just need to ask, baby. I will do anything you say." She bends down on my face with my reply.

"Please be extra careful. Sunny is so dangerous and he wants to harm you anyhow." I nod at her.

"I can understand. I promise to be careful, baby." She puts kisses on my eyes.

"I am happy that you are better now. I will take care of yours. Just be healthy like before." She is drawing kisses all over my face. This is the love I can't afford to lose. For that, I am ready to face every struggle and I can go through any severe pain.

I want nothing but only her love. The love.
