Gaiti Haroon,Shehroz and Shahab took two different directions.

From last one hour they are searching for Asfand..they are asking every single person by showing his photo,after sometime they all came back to the same place were Zubia and Asifa is are.

Z:... Kya huwa.. Kahan hai Asfi

. She started to look every were...Gaiti.. Bolen kuch...

G:....zubia..w..oh..hum ne.. Sab se Puch liya... Par kisi ne Asfi ko.. Nahi Dekha...

Zubia breakdown in tears and with a thud she sat down unable to stand..

Asifa and Gaiti sudden rushed to her and grab her by shoulders.. She is sobbing hard.. She is crying continuously when she heard a voice..

Zubia...

Listening her name and knowing whose voice it's she looks up.. Her Asfi is standing in front of her eyes.. After couple of registering his presence she stand up and run to him..She hugged him locking her hand oh his torso but he stumbled on his feet a little on sudden force...and started to cry again.

A:.. Zubia.. Zubia Kya huwa hai Tum ro Kyun rahi ho..

He said separating her from him holding her shoulder..

Z:...As..fii.. Ap Kahan chale Gaye the..mujhe laga Apko ku...

A:Zubia.. Mai Theek hun

She looked down and suddenly she saw blood marks on his shirt..

Z:.. Ye kya hai.. Apko tou chot lagi hai.. Ap ye..

He look down at his shirt..

G:Asfi tum ye khoon ke nishaan..

They all get worried..

A:.. Pehle tum rona band Karo.. Aur ye mere khoone ke nishaan nahi hain..

He wipe away her tears.

H:Kya Matlab.. Aur Tum the Kahan..

A:woh actually jab Mai bachon ko Chek karraha tha..Tou koi mere pass Aaya Aur help mangi..Unka beta paidh pe se girgaya tha..bahut chot lagi thi usse..bechara Chal bhi nahi paraha tha.. Aur unki aisi halat nahi thi ke woh usko ghar lejayen.. Isliye Mai us bacche ko ghar chod aaya... Ye shayad ussi ka khoon...aate time Andhra b horaha tha..aur Mai rasta bhi bhool gaya.. Phir ek bande ne meri help ki Yahan tak aane me..

He explained himself..

Here He is helping someone and his wife is having every Single possibility of what if something bad happened to him.. By just mere thought of it she could breath.. She feel suffocated.

Dr.S:Lekin tum hum me se kisi ko inform Karsakte the.. Hum yahn Kab se tumhe dhund rahe hai...tumhara phone bhi off hai...

Dr.A:Han Asfand.. Zubia ko tou halat hi kharab Hogai thi.. Musal Sal roye jarahi thi tab se..

A:woh sab kuch itna jaldbazi me huwa.. Mera dhyan hi nahi gaya is Baat pe.. Waise bhi Mai Koi chota baccha Thodi hun Jo khojaon ga.. Ap log fikr na Karen Mai Theek hun..

Zubia is listening to him.. He is out his mind,He suddenly got disappeared without informing anyone.. And now he is saying it's not a big deal..Is he really don't know how would I react to this.. If He will not be in front of me...How could he think like that...

H:Hame pata hai Ap bacche nahi hain.. Agar Hame pata hota tou hum aise tension me na...

He is still saying something when Zubia interrupted..

Z:.. Hame chalna chahiye.. Kafi andhera Hogaya hai..

She is in a plane tone.. And taking her sling from ground she started to walk towards the car..

Everyone followed her but someone is knew that this is the silence before the storm.

Shehroz,Asifa and Shahab already left bidding all of them bye..

Asfand,Gaiti and Haroon are standing about to opened the doors..Gaiti and Haroon at the back and Asfand at driving side..

Z:Haroon bhai Ap samne baithe Jayen please..

She is not in a mood and state to sat beside her Asfand...

Asfand is looking at Zubia.. Haroon turns to Gaiti,she nodded in yes.. Haroon open the Door.. And let her in.

H:Han Han Kyun nahi Aajayen..

Asfand is not getting her wife sudden change of mood.

The ride back was completely silent.Zubia closed her eyes resting her head back on seat..He is now and then checking her in the rare mirror..

Finally they reached after two hours,it's 10:30pm.Asfand parked the car,she immediately opened her eyes and came out..

Z:Gaiti.. Ap log yahin rukjayen na.. Kafi raat Hogai hai..

She said when they all are standing outside.

G:Nahi Zubia..Ammi Aur saim akele hojayen ge Yarr.. Ab Hum chalte hain.. Waise bhi Maama Aur Baba bhi sogaye honge it's already late..

Zubia nodded..Gaiti side hugged and said to take care of herself..

They both left for their home..

Zubia and Asfand also came inside,Asfand always have the spare key of the main door.the lounge is little dark with just the dim light. Lunba and Usman were already slept as they are the early raiser..

Zubia directly marched in to their bedroom Asfand followed her.

She directly entered into the bathroom taking her night dress,Without Glancing at him once..

She came out after taking a hot shower which slightly erase the physical pain.. But what about the pain she is feeling in her heart..

After her Asfand went to take a shower. He came in his usual sweat pant and a t-shirt. Zubia is standing in front it the dresser drying her hair with towel..

Asfand sat on the edge of the bed looking at her..her hand are working on her hair but her mind is not.. She looked so blank..

Asfand was waiting her to start the conversation but there is no way she is going to do..He is get annoyed by her silence now.. She again choose to bottled up her emotions.

Now He is done with her silence he stood up, came to her in long strands and holding her elbow turned her abruptly towards him..

Baat Kya hai..

He said seeing her, but her head down she is not looking at him..

Zubia itni badi Baat nahi.. Tum Kyun Isse itna bada banarahi ho.. Mai bhool gaya inform Karna and I said sorry for that.. Phir aise behave kyun kar rahi ho.. Don't make it a big deal..

He finished in a little annoyed tone.. She looked up at him..

Really.. Asfand..Ye Koi badi Baat nahi hai seriously..You have any idea us ek ghante me Maine kaisa feel Kia,every second a new thought of if something had happened to you,you are safe or not.. Were you could be at this new place and... what if that goons again attacks you...every Single thing is Making my heart shrink and it feels suffocating to breath in that air where you are not present... And your are saying it's not a big dealllll...why it's difficult to understand to understand to you that everything related to you is a Big Deal for me.. Mai ye nahi keh rahi ao logon ki madad na Karen...lekin har dafa Apne life ke sath risk Lena ka haq nahi hai Apko.. Kyun ke ye Jo sanse chalrahi haina apki ye meri zindagi hai.. Ye yad Rakhye ga jis... Din.. Ye.. Sanse Ruk gayin.. Meri bhi zindagi qatam hojaye gi..

Now the tears are coming up in her eyes making her view little blur.. Before he said something she continued..

And after all that happened.. Ap sorry Kehde Aur sab Theek hojaye ga..ek minute Ap sorry keh bhi Kyun rahen hai.. Ghalti tou meri haina.. Mai over react kar rahi ho.. Bus choti si tou baat hai.. So I'm sorry ke I care for you with all my heart and I'm sorry for getting effected by smallest things which is a related to you..

I'm sorry... She whisper at last..

She turned and directely went to bed covering her self with a duvet..switching off the light turning the room and his mind completely dark..

He stood like this in center of the room..He don't know when He loosened his hold on her..This is the first time He had seen Zubia this angry and annoyed.. He had witness every single emotions of her,from the most sweetest to loveliest Girl..the most happy to most vulnerable and most caring for every one around her.. But this is something very new to him.. But after today's incident he concluded that She still had the trust issues..May be He had help her to trust people around her enough but still she is not able to trust life... She still fighting with darkest demons but the difference is now the reason of her insecurity is all HIM.she loves him to the extent were she can actually hert herself.. Not physically but mentally...

He looked up at her figure who is sleeping on bed.. But he knew she can't sleep like this with so many thoughts haunting her.. He still remember how she awaked the whole night for him when he got injured by bullet..

He slowly move towards the bed..laying on his side covering the duvet over him,He shifted to her side who is sleeping or pretending to sleep facing her back to his side.. He slowly pulled her to his front back hugging her.. Putting his hand on her stomach and his hand on hers.. And whisper a SORRY in her ear.. But for his shock she didn't respond to his touch but the positive side is she nor rejected his touch.. He is really assure to resolve everything the next morning,the first to do task and it's never going to be easy..in sometime the sleep engulfed them in each others arms..

The next morning He wake up and Saw her side which is empty.. He thought she must be in kitchen..Today always she never forget to arrange all his essentials on table including his cloth.. He smile and went to take a shower.. He came in lounge all Ready for hospital..

His parents were there on the breakfast table but He is searching for his anger beauty.. He said salam to his parents and sat down.. His eyes were continuously stuck on kitchen door..

L:Asfi.. Nashta shuru Karo beta..

He nodded and looked at the table and suddenly came up with something..

A:woh Maama mujhe Aaj cheese omelet Khane ka dil chah raha hai...banwaden please.. She smile and called for their cook..He frowned, why she is calling for cook instead of his wife..

A:... Maama Zubia ko bolde na woh banadegi...

L:Asfiii.. Kya hogaya hai tumhe usse hospital Gaye huwe ghanta Hogaya hai..

Her statement stunned him..

Kyun Tumhe nahi bataya zubia ne??

Asfiii...

A:... Ji...han.han. Bataya tha mere zahen se nikal gaya..

Zubia ne Nashta karlia. He asked.. They already skipped their dinner last night and he don't want her to get careless with her meals which she always done..

L:Han Mere itna zid karne ke Baad Usne juice aur kuch fruits khaye.. Khane ke mamle baht zidde hai woh.. Aur Maine usse sandwich bhi pack karke de diye the..

He got relax..

A:Acha... Theek hai phir Mai bhi Chalta hun... He completed the juice in a go.. And stand up taking his keys and phone.

U:Beta nasta tou pura Karlo.. Tum ne Kuch liya hi nahi..

A:Baba.. Kuch Kaam yad aagaya.. Mai Cafe se Kuch lelunge don't worry..

He rushed out immediately.

L:Jab Kaam ki Baat aati hai ye dono ko Kuch nazar nahi aata..

They both continued with the breakfast.

Were he wanted to surprised his wife with a tasty breakfast and lovely sorry...But here He only got shocked.. He reached hospital and asked for zubia the nurse inform him that she is on rounds.. He also has surgery in an hour..

It's lunch time they both had not seen each other since morning..all are present in doctor's room. Dr.Shahab was on leave today but He just came to invite all of them on his son's first birthday party..

Dr.Sh:Aap sab ne zaroor aana hai..Yahan meri family Ap sab log hain and Family is must in every happy moment.

Dr.Asifa Aur Dr.Zubia Apne yad se Dr.Shehroz aur Dr.Asfand ko patry me lana hi hai... Mai ne already unhe kehdiya hai.. Abhi woh log OT me hain.. Pata nahi air Kitni dare lag Jaye...

He saying when shehroz and Asfand came in..

Dr.S:Kise dere horahi hai bhai..

He asked and Asfand's eyes directly landed on his wife.. He is seeing her for the first time since Morning but is felt ages.. When thier eyes met she immediately averted her eyes from his..

Dr.Sh:Chalen sahi hai.. Ap log bhi aagaye.. Ap dono ne bhi zaroor aana hai party..koi bhahana nahi chalega...

He confirmed..

A:... Lekin...

Zubia cutted him off..

Dr.Shahab hum sab zaroor aayenge...ab Aap Jayen I'm sure Apko Bahut se Kaam honge.. She said with a smile.

Asfand again felt disheartened.. He is thinking to take her out for the dinner but again she failed his attempt..

Nurse:Dr.Asfand Humne patient ko OT se ICU me shift kardiya hai.. Ap dekh len..

He nodded and left the room with Dr.Shehroz..

Seeing the tension between them..Gaiti eyed Haroon to giving the idea of it.. He nodded slightly..

G:sab Theek haina zubia..

She stood up and went. Now only Harron and Gaiti were there in doctor room.

G: I'm pretty sure... Kal ki Baat pe in dono ke beech.. Kuch tou huwa Hai.. Dekha zubia Kaise avoid kar rahi thi Asfi ko.. Jise dekhte hi uski Ankhen chamak jati hai.. Woh usse dekh bhi nahi rahi thi..
