1 month later...

Next day is Ayaan's birthday and Iram was roaming in the room to think about the gift or surprise she want to give to him. Suddenly she felt like to puke. She went to washroom and vomit out everything she ate in lunch. Ayaan was in hospital while Iram took 2 days leave as she was not feeling well. She understood what she can give to him .

She went to hospital to give surprise to her friends and Ayaan too. She went to Afreen's cabin and told her everything and then she gave her an envelope and then she went back home with Ayaan. They had their dinner and went to room and laid down on bed .

" Hmm, tomorrow is special day . I think I will not be able to sleep tonight. " Ayaan said as he was excited for his birthday...

" Okay then you don't sleep but I will . I am too tired today " Ayaan groaned listening her reply and then turned facing his right side, opposite to Iram.

Ayaan was out of sleep, while Iram was sleeping peacefully . Suddenly , Iram was not feeling well. She woke up and went to washroom. She puked again. Ayaan was awake too. So, he went too washroom to see her washing her face.

" What happened Iram ? " Ayaan asked.

" Nothing " She said.

" You are vomiting and saying nothing"  Ayaan shouted.

" Ayaan its really nothing . Don't take tension "

" I only take tension when you don't take care of yourself " Ayaan said . He moved his hand over his hairs .

" Iram , tell me what it is ... You are my love , my jaan , my hayat(life) , my wife . So please , Jaan-e-Ayaan tell me whats wrong ?" He asked.

" Whats time now ?" She said going towards her drawer.

" 12:15 am , why ?" Ayaan was confused with her question

" Happy Birthday my  Jaan " She said taking out a paper rolled tied in a red color ribbon.

She hugged him and kissed him on his cheeks.

" Thank you Jaan . Now tell me whats the problem "Ayaan raised his eyebrows while seeing his jaan .

" First open this " She forwarded that paper roll and he opened it...

" Medical report ? "

" Yes" She said while looking at his expression.

" Ya Allah ! " He looked to see Iram smiling ..

" Is it true ? " Iram nodded...

" I love you "

" I love you too "

Ayaan hugged her and kissed her temple.

" This is the best gift I ever got in my life . I am going to be a father " He again kissed her temple.

" Thank you so much Jaan to give me such a beautiful gift " He whispered in her ear .

He then bends down to kiss her. After a long passionate peck,  they move apart. 

" Come let's sleep " They both lay down.  Ayaan pulled Iram close and they both slept in each other's arm... 

Next day,  everyone came to wish Ayaan in his room and then Iram told them about her pregnancy and  all who were hugging Ayaan , moved to hug Iram... 

"That's not fair " Ayaan groaned and made a pouting face.. 

" Aww!  " Iram hugged him making him smile. 

Ayaan and Iram freshen up and went downstairs to have breakfast... and as usual,  they went to garden to have a "Family time". 

" Ayaan,  Iram,  this is your gift " Ayaan took and opened the envelope to see Honeymoon tickets to Singapore and Dubai. 

" Ammi,  Honeymoon tickets?  " I asked to confirm what I saw.. 

" Yes beta.  But before that we all will go to Sagar to Iram's house and then we n her family will go to Ajmer and after coming back you both will go to honeymoon ...

Iram blushed with shy thinking of her honeymoon while Ayaan was smirking looking at Iram's state... 

At night,  the family went to a Halal restaurant. 

" Waiter " Ayaan called.. 

" Iram tell what you want to eat "

" It's your birthday,  order what you want to eat " Iram said... 

" Okay then 2 bowls butter chicken and tandoori roti and mmm  " at the end Ayaan was thinking when Iram said, 

" 2 plates of seek Kabab and 1 plate of chicken lollipop " Iram said . Ayaan smiled. He wanted Iram to order something she want to eat and finally she did. 

" Later we will order if we will need anything " with that the waiter went. ..

" Finally you ordered something " Ayaan whispered in Iram's ear. She blushed and someone cleared his throat .

They both looked up to see their family smirking at them. Iram quickly looked down blushing and Ayaan just moved his hand for his head,  smiling with shy...

Ayaan turned to see Ahmed's expression.  He was smirking at him and then teased him with his expressions...

Ayaan turned to Ammi and said,

" Ammi,  thank you for giving birth to Ahmed " Ayesha was first confused and then laughed when Ayaan continued,

" Atleast he would tease me with his expressions but if I would have a sister,  she would do something which would make me embarrassed " Everyone laughed with his comment..

After eating dinner,  Ayaan took his family to Ice-cream parlour.  He ordered favourite Ice Creams for each...
But stopped ordering when he saw Iram.

" Iram,  I forgot,  what is your favorite flavor " He said . Iram made a sad face and then turned to the man taking their order...

" American Chocolate " Both said at the same time...

" You know that " Iram was shocked when she heard his reply..

" Yes Jaan-e-Ayaan... I knew your favorite flavor ... I was just... " He stopped when he saw Iram going away..

As soon as he got the ice cream of Iram,  he went towards the car seeing her standing alone.

" Sorry Jaan... Take this " He forwarded the cup.

" I am not in mood " He understood that she is angry from him..
He kissed his cheeks and forwarded a spoon of chocolate.  She looked at him and then the cup of chocolate ice-cream...

" You are forgiven " With that she took the spoon and the cup and started eating it... Ayaan smiled seeing her crazy for her " American Chocolate " Ice-cream...

" You won't eat ice-cream " She asked...

" I'll have it later " Her confused expression made him to elaborate it and so he pecked her lips and then with his lips he tasted the chocolate...

" Alhamdulillah,  its very tasty " He took out the cup he was holding in other hand hiding it from Iram..

" You have another cup " Iram saw that while Ayaan was having his bite... 

" You want more " Iram nodded and took the cup from Ayaan and started eating but this time she shared the alternate bites with Ayaan..

Ayaan was happy eating ice-cream from Iram's hands. ..

( A/n  ya ya.. from the spoon... 😉😉 )

And there Rashid,  Ayesha and Ahmed were happy seeing their bond and also was praying that their bond be so strong that no one can break it. ...

  🌹🌹🌹             ♥️♥️♥️             🌹🌹🌹

Soon,  the days passed by.  Iram and Ayaan with their family went to meet Iram's parents and family... At first,  Iram and her mom cried but then Ayaan,  Ahmed and Mohsin made them laugh with their jokes... 

Soon,  they left for Ajmer and went to Ajmer Durgah after freshening in hotel... 

After doing the prayers, they went back to Sagar and from there they went back to Bhopal.  It was the day when the couple have to leave for honeymoon.. .

While they were happy to go to their honeymoon, Zubair was training his agents for war... 

" I am telling you all, I don't want any changes.. Stick to the plan,  kill everyone who comes in between. I want Iram in front of me in 24 hours.. " Zubair shouted... 

All his agents were training themselves,  shooting and fighting.

Their was also a team who were ready to fightback Zubair's agents. 

Junaid's team were training themselves physically,  mentally and emotionally.  They didn't want these men who do wrong works and destroy their country's name.  They want the people of their country to be safe and live in healthy atmosphere.  It was their rebellious thoughts which were making them strong.. .

Iram and Ayaan went to airport and left for Singapore.  Their they had fun and did shoppings.. then they left for Dubai... 

In the plane,  Iram was not feeling well .

" Ayaan,  I think,  we should not go to Dubai,  let's go back home " 

" Hey,  everything  is good.  Don't worry " Ayaan side hugged him and caressed her back. 

Soon,  they landed on airport.  Ayaan called the hotel he booked to send a car for them.  Iram was thinking of something else.. 

" What are plans for today? " She asked... 

" I will rest today " He said.. 

" But I want to go shopping " She said looking around... 

" Okay then , I will go to hotel and you go for shopping with the driver " He said. 

Iram went to shopping with the car that arrived from hotel after dropping Ayaan to the hotel .
Ayaan laid down on bed when his phone ranged to see Sadiq calling after long time. 

" Assalamualaikum Sadiq " And his reply made him shocked... He took his car and went to the location,  Sadiq informed. 

Ayaan parked the car and came out seeing Zubair sitting on the plain land like a ground.  

" It's good to see you Ayaan.  Look where your wife is " He clicked a button and a screen appeared from behind and someone clicked a  button . 

Ayaan saw Iram walking and went inside a shop. Her works were visible.  She was selecting a shirt.. 

~ I have to do something . Ayaan thought.

Then and there all Zubair's agents were killed.  Another screen opened and a clip played.  It was of all men killed and laid on the floor in pain. 

" Your men are killed Zubair.  Surrender now " 
Junaid said in speaker ..

" You will not be able to catch me " 
With that he vanished like a wind blow... 
We all were shocked.  

Ayaan  POV

" Ayaan go to Iram. She needs you.  Zubair is after her " Junaid said and I took my car and went to the street shops...  

~ She was near this shop when I saw her.  I thought referring to the shop where she was buying a shirt. 

*GUN SHOT* 

I panicked... 

" No one will move " Someone shouted but I recognized the voice.. it was Zubair... 

He was coming in my direction and what I saw made me more panicked. ..
Iram.  She was walking towards the shop with slow moves...

No this can't happen in front of my eyes... 
I slowly made my way towards her with slow steps.  I wore a cap and a goggle,  so that she could not see me. I was close to her just a meter far.. 

" I got her " A man shouted.  I saw it was Zubair's agent... 

No. .no.. no.... 

Ya Allah keep her safe... I prayed and starting reciting all the Surah I have learnt... I started reciting Ayat-ul-kursi ( The throne verse )  ...

I slowly moved towards her . He pointed the gun at her.  She was looking at him... I went close and now I ran to save her ...and.. 

*GUN SHOT* *GUN SHOT* and we both fell down on the floor..... But before closing my eyes,  I yelled,
" Iram " and I heard " Ayaan " and black atmosphere welcomed me...

Well,  how was the chapter? 
I was not in mood to write that's why I didn't elaborate some scenes of honeymoon.  Sorry for that...

Now,  one more chapter and an epilogue is left which I will try to update in two days... But can't guarantee for the bonus chapter... Maybe I will not write that too.

Keep smiling...
Take care...
