Junaid POV

I was prepared to kill Zubair.  I was knowing that Ayaan and Iram are going to Dubai,  so I called the police there to be active regarding Zubair and his men.  I mailed them the details of Zubair and his work. 

" Guys,  its high time that our target is moving freely.  Let's get our full power on that target and make him surrender in Dubai " I shouted to my men. 

We went to Dubai in the same plane in which Iram and Ayaan went.  We were following them. 

" Sir,  we got to know that Zubair is here too.  His location is on the ground near the ......

One of my agent informed me.  We went to my apartment and we got ready for the war.  

Half of us has to go towards Afiya to save her and half has to go towards Zubair to surrender him. 

I was with the one, who has to go towards Afiya. 

We , half ones , went towards Zubair apartment. I indicated the others to follow me.  I entered the house with security password as I knew it.  Afterall,  I am his brother. 

As soon as I entered the hall,  I saw there were about 20 men standing with a gun in their hand pointing towards me.  We started shooting each other.  We guys had extra 5 bullet packs for emergencies. 

I took a chance and followed towards the rooms to find Afiya.  I was roaming around and finally and when took a turn,  I saw someone hugged me. What I saw made me shocked. 

" Afiya " I said hugging her back. 

" Junaid " She said crying. We moved back.  I saw her condition. 

~ She could be compared with ghost.  Lol 😂.
I thought.

I looked to see her pointing the gun towards the man behind her.  She looked at me and shoots the bullets piercing his body. 

" I was not knowing that Afiya is the good shooter " I smiled and kissed her forehead. 

" You have to work hard again to know me. Because now,  I am a totally changed person.  My likes and dislikes all have changed.  " She said smiling. 

" What's your favourite food?  " I asked.

" Chicken Biryani " 

" Then you haven't changed " I smirked.

With that I went back towards the hall and hearing the footsteps,  I understood that she is coming behind me. 

" Sir,  we need more men to kill Zubair " I nodded. 

" Afiya , call Afreen and tell her that Iram is in danger.  She should not go out now.  Tell Afreen to forward this message to Ayaan " I said.  She nodded and I walked towards the door. 

I turned to see Afiya standing on the same spot. 

" What happened ? " I asked. 

" You go,  I need to find the most important thing " She said and was about to walk when I took hold of her hand. 

" Afiya,  I lost you years ago and now,  I don't want to loose you again " I hugged her. 

" Please,  please don't leave me now " 

" Junaid,  listen to me carefully " She cupped my face. 

" Junaid,  you go and save Ayaan and Iram.  I will go and bring the most important thing which will clear everything.  Please  let me bring it to you and police " She said. 

" I promise,  I will return " She said and leaned forward and kissed me on my lips. I felt like I got my happiness back.  I got my love,  my jaan back.  She moved back and went upstairs. 

" I can still wait Afiya after your promise kiss. " I whispered to myself and went out. 

As we reached the ground,  I saw my agents have already killed all his men and only Zubair was there. 

" Your men are killed Zubair,  surrender now " I said. 

" You won't be able to catch me " He said and vanished like a wind blow. 

" Ayaan go to Iram,  shee needs you,  Zubair is after her " I said and with that he went. 

Soon,  Afiya came on the bike with a bag on her back. 

My girl.  Junaid's girl 😉
She's really a changed girl.

" This  bag has everything you need as a proof what he had done in his life and where his money is kept and other property details.  " She said giving the bag to one of my men. 

" I missed you my girl " I said while hugging her. 

" I missed you too Jaan " She said hugging me tightly.. 

" Let's go to our apartment and I have to talk to you so much " I said while walking towards my car. 

" Me too " She replied and we both went to our apartment to share the moments we missed out. 

Iram POV

My head was paining, my hands,  my legs , my every body part pains as if a pin is injected to every part.. giving me pain.... 

Ya Allah,  show mercy... 

I was not able to own my eyes... but I could hear the sound of beeps...  I tried to open my eyes but my effort got wasted ..

Suddenly,  I realised something... 

I was going to the footwear shops when I heard a gun  shot . Goosebumps spread all over my body ... I couldn't hear anything ... All the moments of me and Ayaan came infront of my eyes. I started shifting to hold something for support . I was not aware of my surrounding . And then someone came in front of me . He was Ayaan. And again I heard a gun shot which made me shiver. Ayaan got shot . I saw a man going to shoot again and I pushed Ayaan making him fall down and the other shot was taken by me. 

" Iram " I heard my name.. He was calling me.. I fell down on my knees,  not able to take more pain...  

" Ayaan " I called him before black curtains fall in front of my eyes.

How come I am here ? I asked to myself.

" Your driver brought you both here " I sighed in relief , when a doctor said . She wore a baby  pink colour maxi dress with matching hijab,  covering her hair. By her look, she seems to be in thirties. 

" From how many days,  I am here?  " I asked her. 

" It's just 3 days. You recovered quickly " I nodded.  

I then realised about my pregnancy. I touched my tummy but felt something wrong . 

" Be calm dear. We have bad new.  Sorry,  You lost your baby " That news bombarded on me...No way ...

" You are lying right ?" I looked up to find any expression saying that she is lying but her face expression showed the opposite.  She was serious.  

" No " I screamed. 

" You could have saved the baby " 

" Your husband woke up a little and warned me that if a condition comes that we have to choose between you and your baby then i should choose you " She hold my shoulders and hugged me. 

" Nooo" I yelled...

I lost my baby . Mine and Ayaan's child...I started  feeling sad and depressed...

Suddenly the door opens and a man of her ( the female doctor)  age,  comes and calls her. I got to know her name is Yusra.

After a long time , she comes back.

" Your husband is in critical  condition "
It felt like my world stopped . Again the memories of me with Ayaan flash in front of my eyes. I started crying ...

" Junaid , its just because of you . You should have done something before this could have happened... You promised that we both will not come in trouble to such an extent. "
I yelled ... I still remember , when I called him asking if we trio would be safe. I asked him after knowing about the baby. He said that we'll be safe and no harm would come to us....But now I lost ...

I felt someone shaking me .

" Listen girl,  you need not to cry for this.  It was destined.  "

" You can't say it so easily.  How will I tell Ayaan about it?  It was like his birthday gift.  I informed him about my pregnancy on his birthday... but now I lost the baby.  " I started crying.. I yelled at first but then calmed down. ..

" You are lucky and blessed that you can have babies " I looked up at Yusra.

" What do you mean?  " I asked her. 

" We... We can't have baby " She said. 

" But... but how's ... I mean any reason?  "

" It's because I can't conceive.  There's problem in my system.  I hope so,  this hint is enough for you to understand " Yusra said. I nodded. 

" A.. If you.. don't mind me asking , was that man , who called you,  your husband ? " 

" Yes " I nodded. 

" I still remember,  the day , I got pregnant and then later,  due to heavy work schedule and stress , miscarriage happened. 
That day,  I locked up myself as I was only responsible for it.  But he,  Yusuf,  he was always by my side and still is.  He is taking care of me and he always say to me when we think of child that
' We are lucky that we will live together in this world without any interruption between our talks and romance . Its okay if we don't have kids but we have each other. '
His words calm me down and then we start talking of ourselves.  I love him.  I thank Allah for blessing me with a loving and caring husband.  My in-laws are like him too.  They take care of me like their own daughter. They don't have problem with me.  I love all of them.  And I feel granted to be blessed with them. " She said with tears coming out.  It showed her sadness and happiness mixed. 

" May Allah bless you with a child " I don't know how,  but it left my mouth unknowingly. 

She looked up at me,  smiled and hugged me . I smiled at her too.  It felt good now. 

Suddenly,  the door opened and a bed came in.  It was Ayaan's bed.  He was lying on bed unconsciously.  

" He is out of danger,  but is not waking up.  He is just unconscious due to medicines I guess.  Its not coma.  " Dr. Yusuf said.  

I felt a cloth on my head.  I smiled seeing Yusra as she kept the same dupatta on my head,  the day I got unconscious.

Soon after fixing everything to machine and laying Ayaan on another bed,  Dr. Yusuf and the nurses went out. 

I and Yusra started our conversation as if we were long lost friends. 

I told her about my whereabouts and my past. She told me about her past,  her parents and her family and with that I got to know that Junaid was working in her Uncle's company.  

She left soon as it was lunch time not before changing the bandages. 

I slowly moved out of the bed and walked towards Ayaan's bed.  Between our beds were the machines,  the one which were attached to Ayaan.  I sat on the stool near his bed .I  took his hand and interlocked it with mine . Kissing his knuckles,  I started speaking, 

" Ayaan,  my love, I am sorry I took another shot but also I can't see you take two shots just to save me.  I... I am sorry.. We lost our first child. " I started crying... 

Ayaan POV

I was feeling ache all over my body.  I could hear beep sounds. 
I remember,  when the driver,  who dropped Iram to the shopping streets,  with the help of a lady admitted up to the hospital.  I was awake when we entered the emergency area.  I took hold of the doctor and said, 

" My wife will be only operated by a lady doctor.  I don't want any man to operate her.  "

" Sir,  don't worry,  my wife is getting ready for her operation " I called him again and said, 

" Tell her that my wife is pregnant and if there by any chance comes that she has to choose between my wife and the child then choose my wife.  Please tell her.  And if both can be saved but baby is little mature,  then choose my wife only and ... " I couldn't say anything further as I blacked out.  But yes I hinted them with my lips. 

I felt someone taking my hand in a soft ones.  I tried to open my eyes but couldn't. 

I felt someone kissing my knuckles.  

That smell.... Iram.. She is near me..

Ya Allah,  thank you for saving her.  

" Ayaan, my love, I am sorry I took another bullet but also I can't see you take two bullet  just to save me. I... I am sorry.. We lost our first child. " She said and started crying... 

I was knowing that. By the position she took the bullet , I was knowing that there are very less chances that the baby could be saved. 

" I am sorry love " She said and then I felt her head on my stomach.  She was crying.  My dress,  the hospital provided,  was getting wet. 

Soon,  I felt her calm down.  I finally could open my eyes to see my love sleeping peacefully on my stomach.  I smiled.  I took my free hand and started caressing her head.  

The door opened to see the doctors coming.  They both smiled at us.  Dr. Yusuf came and started doing the test while Dr. Yusra was behind Iram,  wiping tears with the tissue paper as I indicated her. 

" The work is done as per your wish.  And thank you so much for that.  " I smiled seeing the couple happy.  

I know Dr. Yusuf when I was doing my internship and he came to meet me with Junaid. 

" Your welcome.  And congratulations now " I smiled.  They thanked me and went. 

I felt Iram moving.  She opened her eyes to see me.  

" Ayaan you are awake " She said and I nodded. 

" I am sorry Ayaan " She said while hugging me. 

" Hey,  its okay Jaan.  " I kisses her temple and she moved back. 

Soon, our wounds started healing and after a week,  we booked our tickets back to Bhopal. We called our family to inform the incident.  They started worrying but we consoled them saying everything is okay.  Junaid too came with his wife Afiya . Junaid informed that Zubair died the day he shot us as it was order from the King to kill him. I was satisfied that he got his punishment for his work. 

Next day,  we went back to Bhopal.  Our families were there to pick us up. They asked so many questions as if quiz was going on.😜😜😜

" You both now take rest.  Its your rest time now.  " Iram's mom said. 

We smiled and went to our room.
