Mukta POV

He was laughing with Noor on something. I was awestruck to see Arjun carefree side. Nooria brought his cheerful side out. He was laughing with her like a child. He was playing with her like if he didn't have any other work. I was just seeing them from outside the pool. Yeah he took us to water park and the mall. Nooria had done so much shopping first and then he brought her to water park.

I was used to scared of water so i didn't try to disturb them. I was just looking them or specially looking him only. This Arjun was not looking like the monster he turned always with me. But as soon as he caught me staring him, he gave me a fierce look.

I didn't know why he was so spiteful towards me. He thought me as the reason of his father death but i never said my father to kill him... i never expressed my desire for Arjun. If he hated me for what my father did then i should also hate him because I was just 16 years old child when he killed my father. He burned down my home. He abducted me despite of the fact that i was innocent. He did so many unforgiving things with me. He raped me and never felt remorseful. I should kill him for everything he did but instead of that i was seeing him enjoying with Nooria. I wished i could be strong enough to hate him or kill him but i couldn't hate him because i never liked the idea of revenge. I wanted to live a happy and peaceful life  with my sister. I was a timid girl who couldn't dare to think beyond the limits.   I accepted the fact that Arjun was my destiny... his hate was my destiny. I couldn't run away anymore from him. I could just try to make my life easier with him.

He was very good with Noor and Nooria was my first and last priority. I couldn't get the love and respect in my life but she shouldn't suffer with me. I couldn't run away with her because this time i knew Arjun would be more dangerous. I could bear everything for her. His insult and hurls were nothing infront of my Nooria's happiness.

After a delightful day Nooria was happy  and i was happy for her. Atleast she could get the happiness. Noor was hell tired after all the playing and running. I was zoning out so I didn't realize when Arjun picked her in his arms and made her sit comfortably in back seat of the car.

I came out from my trance when he shook my shoulder,
"Wife... enough of your thought processing... come and sit in the car..."

He came infront of me and hovering me between him and car. He grabbed my arm and turned towards the open door of the car but i was stuck to see behind him.

In next moment i just didn't think anything but pushed him aside and in next moment i felt a burning sensation in my body if something tore my skin apart.

Arjun POV

I was annoyed with her because god knows where she was lost so i just tried to grab her arm but that vixen pushed me with force. What the hell with her? I was shocked on her audacity. She was crossing her limit with each passing moment. I turned towards her with murderous glance but i was shocked to see the scene infront of my eyes.

The mere 10 seconds changed everything. Mukta face was paled and if i didn't hold her she could touch the floor. I felt a wetness on my hands and in next moment i understood the situation... my enemies attacked on us. I pulled out my gun and gun down the person who dared to shoot Mukta with silencer gun....

My personal bodyguards gave us cover and controlled the situation in some moments. I picked wounded Mukta in my arms and asked my driver to drive fast. I wanted to reach hospital in blink. I was shocked that she took the bullet which was meant for me....

Someone wanted to kill me but why she saved me? Why she did this favor ? She risked her life for me? I was her enemy... i didn't do anything good with her till now but she got shot just to save me from death.

I looked towards Nooria. The little girl was shocked and scared. She was dead silent with widened eyes and continuesly looking towards Mukta pale face while Mukta was in semiconscious state trying to be strong in the situation.   
I didn't know what should i do in that situation... i had to look after my both girls. I controlled my anger and tried to gain my composure. As soon as we reached hospital, doctors came to us in jet speed.

"Nothing should happen to her... " i warned them in my deadly voice. Nooria was still in daze. I picked her in my arms securely,
"Don't be scare my brave girl... your Sissy will be fine...."

"I only have my Sissy.... " i heard her whispered tone and she hide her face in my shoulder. Her words clinched my heart. My baby sister was so lonely and scared like me. I could understand the trauma of a 11 years old child. I also faced the same stage once in my life. Why god gave us same fate. He snatched everyone from us and now her only ray of hope was Mukta and i couldn't let her go away from my Noor.

"Your Sissy will be alright... she can't go anywhere... i will not let her go..." i replied in assured voice. It wasn't for her but me who wanted that assurance. I was feeling helpless if someone was taking my life from me. She was in that situation just because of my dark world.  I couldn't understand why i was feeling dejected... even i always wanted to get rid of her but now when she could go away... i was restless. I wanted to see her in pain but now i was feeling furious when i heard her whimpers. Why she saved me ?

Third POV

"Das... the loyal dog of Verma's... i want to give you a news... i will be happy and you will be sad after hearing that..." a person came to dark room and said to weak old man Das.

Das was looking calm and composed.
"Are you sure that you have a news for me..."

A person laughed on his question,
"Yeah my old friend... remember you tried to save a young innocent girl Mukta... now she came back to hell and precisely she is hanging between life and death..."

Das looked him with smirk,
"Arjun didn't kill me till now... because i know my lord with me... i was right there and soon my dear friend you will regret everything..."

A person punched on Das face,
"I wish If i could kill you... but don't forget that your precious daughter is with me... if you try to open your mouth i will kill her and you know i can do that...."

Das looked him if he wanted to kill him. When he got this dark secret that Raghubeer singh didn't kill Yaswant Verma but his own friend did... he wanted to tell everything to Arjun but his bastard friend kidnapped his only daughter and he couldn't tell anything to anyone. Arjun thought him guilty behind Mukta escape. Arjun was blind in revenge.
