This is part 10 B of the story but the scene here is shown with a lapse of one chapter. That's a treat because 10 A is a bit tensed one, and but reading 10 B before, even though it's a short one, will make it fair enough.

And, a huge sorry for this super delay. To be honest, we can't promise regular updates but In Sha Allah we'll complete this story 👍

"Yeah, so, how should I compliment your service to my client, like great haan, there was no one to accompany a girl who was admitted to your hospital after suffering hell?" Zaid spoke boldly with his eyebrows concentrated and fists grabbing the chair placed on the opposite side of the Director of the Hospital.

"Mr. Khan, please take your seat. Would you like to have a cup of tea or coffee?" said the Director trying to pacify the dragon before him.

"You take it for yourself and pay attention to the important changes you need to implement in your management. Do you know it could cost someone her life?"

"Yes, I completely agree with you but that situation was unpredictable..."

"Then predict it! Predict it beforehand! Don't I know that you run this hospital more like a businessman and less like a philanthropist? Dude, if it's so then also it's fine but businessmen too do a lot of predictions. So, stick to my piece of advice and start predicting thing related to your business if you want to continue your term as a Director. Thank you for wasting my time in this."

Zaid, without looking back at the Director whose jaws were dropped listening to the warning like suggestion of the young man, turned behind in his own swift and left the spot immediately leaving the Director wipe the sweat off his temple. He paused before attending a call on his phone until the angry man was nowhere to be seen in the cabin.

Zaid was walking like a determined lion in the corridor of the storey where Nuska's ward was situated. He stopped at the closed gate and before pushing it he rubbed his eyes which contained some traces of moisture directly connected with the ocean of his heart.

Nuska was lying on the bed with her eyes closed and two nurses were busy in checking the health and also the working of equipments over there.

Nisthar, Saima and Abdul were made to stay in the waiting room where they were asked to take rest as they had experienced the worst moments on finding their daughter and sister attempting to kill herself.

Zaid stood there, numb, unable to think how to behave. He then took small steps toward her bed when his mind, with his consciousness unknowingly, traveled somewhere he always wanted to go.

The bed was arranged and set on the perfect spot and there were vivid variety of flowers that decorated the whole room. Two girls, like attendants of the bride, fully adorned, were standing on the each side of the bed.

Zaid like a confused groom walked much closer to the bed and discovered Nuska, dressed like a bride sleeping peacefully. He exchanged glances with the two girls who also on receiving a signal from Zaid left the room.

He then walked until his knees could touch the edge of the bed. His vision fell on the beautiful face of Nuska whose moonlike face was stealing light from Zaid's eyes. He didn't know whether to wake her up or to be lost into watching her.

He had to turn back when a voice called him.

"Sir, we can allow you here only for ten minutes," said one of the nurses while shutting the door when Zaid realized he was daydreaming.

He again rubbed his eyes and this time he did it more properly and sat quietly on bed beside Nuska. Tears without any barrier kept flowing from his eyes.

"Nuska..." his throat choked and hurted him deeply till how far the pain could spread in heart. Placing his hand on hers he lifted it with care until it reached till his throat, and bending his head he kissed on it. On kissing it he could feel Nuska, very slowly, responding to the his action. She opened her eyes and again closed it on discovering Zaid before her. But, on realizing him holding her wrist she opened her eyes with the full width they could capture and immediately sat with her mouth opened eyes lost into his ones.

E-A-S-Y, E-A-S-Y... A-A-A... H-M-M... yeah, take it easy. Nuska? You okay no? Good, yeah... Come on have it slowly okay.", said Zaid while trying to make Nuska eat a grilled cheese sandwich with his hands. It was obviously not his job but it was most probably due to the compulsiveness imposed by his heart over his conscience that he found himself responsible for her discomfort.

Her parted juicy lips that were trembling a little while opening the mouth appeared pale to Zaid. He was as if feeling guilty to see her in a vulnerable condition.

"No sir, I can't have it more. I pray you don't bother yourself.", she said making a pity face.

"Why so? You had so less of it. And by the way girl, you're at KSE. We're not the ones who let our visitors suffer alone. Your problem is our problem. Trust me, you need to have more of it.", said Zaid while trying to insert a big chunk of bread into her mouth that her eyes popped out while chewing it.

"Brave girl.", Zaid smiled at her and was feeling satisfaction in his heart.

"Enough sir, please", she requested and tried to stop him but he didn't pay heed to whatever she appealed.

"Enough? You still seem weak. You need to eat more" Zaid insisted her to eat.

He again cut out a bigger portion from the cupcake and tried to insert it into her mouth but Nuska didn't open her mouth that made the scene ridiculous and they both pressed their laughter.

Both of them immediately looked away from each other when the same moments danced before their eyes. It was not only a coincidence but the greatest shock that didn't fail to burn both the hearts. No different it was when one of them had to suffer, it was implied to both as both were now connected in an intense manner.

"Nuska, you've not eaten properly today, I've learned," said Zaid taking a bowl containing sliced apple with a concerned expression on his face, trying to make the atmosphere comfortable for her.

She closed her tightly and Zaid could find two lines of tears falling down on each of her cheeks. He, unable to bear so kept the bowl on its prior position and before he could pushed himself nearer to the sobbing girl in order to take her under the enclosure of his well-built arms, his phone rang in a different manner.

He looked into the screen and found Ravi's name displayed on it. But, declining the call and placing his phone on the same table but only after switching it to silent mode he after all hugged Nuska.

Nuska shrank on his touch but after feeling herself completely lost and protected around his arms she grabbed his shirt with her fists tightened and wailed her heart out resting her head on his wide chest.

Hearing her cries Zaid held more possessively and whispered with sighs into her ears, "You're all mine Nuska. You're all mine... all your heart is mine, all your love is mine and all your pain is mine..."
