Belated EID MUBARAK! My lovely readers!

I have written this chapter on the third person's pov,

I had written this chapter earlier, but it was getting really confusing as I had to change the pov's of different characters.

And thank you all of you for praying for my grandmother, she got another attack a few weeks back, but now Allhumdullilah she is fine and recovering.

So, I couldn't update earlier because of it and secondly i was busy in Ramadan, couldn't have enough time to write the chapters, so I am sorry for the delay.

Enjoy!

THIRD PERSON'S POV:

"What the hell man!" one man shouted as he held Areesha's limp body in his hands, the other man looked down at Mahrosh's body lying on the ground,

"Shit! Boss is going to kill me!" he muttered and pulled out a piece of cloth and put it on Mahrosh's bleeding forehead,

"Which one is she? Do you know?" he asked looking in between Areesha and Mahrosh

"He said she was wearing a white dress," first one replied,

"They both are wearing white you dumb ass!" second man said annoyed,

"So.... So what we do?" first one asked,

"I guess it's her," second man said, pointing towards Areesha,

"Come on then, we should not waste any more time, let's go before anyone watch us, take the back route, from where we got here, I will call Faizi to bring the car around, we just have 10 minutes to escape before the guards come back," he said and quickly walked towards the back side of the building

"But what about her?" First one asked, looking at Mahrosh, second man looked at him, "What do you mean?" he asked,

"We can't just leave her here, she is bleeding, I told you not to hit her, it was not a good plan," he said,

"You are new in this field my boy, you will get along with our work, we don't feel anything for anyone, we just have to follow the orders, bring that girl with you," he said looking at Areesha and left from there,

The first man looked at Mahrosh and lifted Areesha in his hands and started walking towards the back side where his companion went,

"Come on, hurry up!" man shouted, getting into the car and opening the back door,

"Coming!" second one answered and laid Areesha on the back seat and tied her hands.

"Let's go!" he said, and the man on drive seat presses the accelerator.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

Maaz glanced around him, looking for Areesha and spotted her standing alone in a corner watching sea from the large windows, he excused himself from the people he was talking to and took the last sip of his drink and tossed the flute on the nearby table, his eyes never leaving Areesha, he was about to call her out when two men came to him,

"Mr. Jaferi, here you are and I was looking everywhere for you," the older man said shaking his hand, "Mr. Akram, what a pleasant surprise, when did you come back from Turkey? And how was your tour?" Maaz asked, looking at the younger man standing behind Mr. Akram.

"It was really good, I must say Turkey is one of the most beautiful countries of the world, you should plan for vacations there, " Mr. Akram said,

"Sure, I will consider your advice," Maaz replied,

"Well, meet my grandson, Rehan, he has just completed his degree in business, I had told him so much about you and your success, Masha Allah you have achieved so much at this age," Mr. Akram introduced him to his grandson,

"It's really a great honor to meet you Mr. Jaferi, you are really my ideal," Rehan said, looking totally impressed with him, in response Maaz just smiled, they chatted more about some business and current economic situations when Maaz again searched for Areesha, but this time he couldn't find her anywhere. Getting a bit worried, he excused himself from those men and started to look around for Areesha, after searching her for the last twenty minutes, he pulled out his cell phone and called his security, "Where is Areesha?" he asked,

"Sir, we haven't seen her coming out of the main Hall, she must be inside," his security man replied,

"She is not in here, look for her and bring her to me," Maaz said getting a bit furious right now,

"But sir, she must be in there, we didn't see her coming out," the man repeated,

"Do you think I am blind? I have searched the whole area, she is not in here, she must be out somewhere, Go! And look for her!" he shouted,

"Yes, sir!" the man replied and Maaz cut the call,

"Just for once, she can't stay away from any trouble, why she has to be so careless all the time, I had told her to stay in here, but no! just like her father, she is stubborn, damn! Where is she? It's getting late," Maaz said to himself and started to look for her again, he was walking through the people when he got the call from his security,

"What!" he said,

"Sir, she is nowhere to be seen out here, we had searched the whole lobby, dining room, ballroom and even we had looked outside, but we can't find her," the man said,

"You all are useless piece of..." he was about to say some harsh words when he came face to face with Ehteshaam, he moved to his side but Ehteshaam blocked his way,

"Don't mess with me right now Jaferi, I am not in the mood, just get out of my way!" Ehteshaam said,

Maaz looked at him, cutting the call, "So delusional, you are blocking my way, now move already I am getting late," he said glaring at Ehteshaam, they both stare at each other .

"Sir, we can't find her," one man called out from Maaz's side, they both looked at that man,

"What?" Maaz asked,

"Sir, she is not here, we searched for her everywhere," he said,

"Just get lost and try to find her soon, I don't have all night for all this drama," he yelled, making that man turn on his heels running off.

"I know where they both are," Ehteshaam said, walking to the glass doors,

"I don't want your help Ehteshaam," Maaz said

"Good luck finding her then, Adios!" Ehteshaam said and walked out smiling,

Maaz walked out of the hotel and waited for his guards to gather around, he tried to call Areesha but she wasn't picking up his calls getting more frustrated with the situation he punched the wall behind him. He called his head of security, "What kind of baboons you have sent to me! They all are useless shit! Just fucking fire them all, and send me some other trained and professional guards, right now!" he ordered and cut the call, After waiting for twenty minutes the other group of guards arrive, they all stood still in front of him, Maaz instructed them to look for Areesha and showed them her picture.

They all nodded and tried to leave, but he raised his hand and they all stopped on their tracks, Maaz again tried to call Areesha but she didn't receive his call, which made him more angry, he took a long breath to calm his nerves, "Okay spread along the whole area and make sure not to be noticed by other people and find.... He was about to say something when he heard Zaid calls him,

"Maaz Jaferi! Can I have a word with you?" Zaid asked,

"Not now! I have much more important things to handle right now!" he shouted back,

"May be I can help you to find your girl," Zaid said, Maaz instantly looked up from his cell phone to him,

"What did you just say?" he asked, coming to him,

"I know where is Areesha," Zaid said, "Where is she?" Maaz said grabbing Zaid from his collars,

"Geez! What is wrong with both of you! Totally acting like an Alpha male for your girls!" Zaid said releasing himself from Maaz's hold,

"Just tell me where is she!" Maaz yelled,

"Not until you behave infront of me," Zaid said,

"Don't test my patience Zaid!" Maaz said, gritting his teeth,

"Okay, come with me," he said and turned on his heels to the staircase, Maaz gave some orders to his men and followed him, and Zaid looked at his back noticing Maaz's men coming with them,

"Ask them to stay here, only you are coming with me," Zaid said to Maaz,

"They are coming with me," Maaz said, crossing his hands over his chest,

"We have enough men with us, we don't want yours," Zaid said,

"I don't want any favor from Ehteshaam," Maaz said,

"Just for once keep your ego aside for the sake of your girl," Zaid said annoyed at this time, Maaz stared him for a few minutes,

"Fine!" he gritted,

"Stay here and watch the area," Maaz said to one of his men, "No need for it, our men have already secure the whole area, no one can leave until we say so," Zaid said smirking at him.

"Just get over with this entire drama shall we!" Maaz said opening the door at the end of the stairs,

It was a dark in there, but they both move towards the second door on their right, Zaid opened the door and let Maaz in,

Ehteshaam looked at him and smirked, making Maaz rolling his eyes at him,

"So, you came, I didn't expect it!" Ehteshaam said,

"Just cut the act Ehteshaam, tell me what happened?" Maaz said taking off his suit jacket,

"Well, not the good news for you man, it's just that Areesha had been kidnapped by a man named Umair, we found Mahrosh at the back of the hotel, but there was no sign of Areesha, we searched for her and after watching all the clips from CCTV cameras we know, what happened to both of them and by using our sources, we know where she has been taken," Zaid told while Ehteshaam gave orders to his team after getting the location of Umair's hideout.

"Can't you keep your rivals away from me? It happened all because of you!" Maaz yelled after listening to Zaid,

Ehteshaam looked at him through his shoulders and shrugged,

"You don't know anything about me, so why don't you just keep your mouth shut and let me do my job!" Ehteshaam said,

"Don't you dare to order me! You might me the leader of SALVATIONS! But you can't bark your orders to me!" Maaz said, stepping infront of him, Making Ehteshaam and Zaid stiff in their positions,
"How did you know?" Zaid asked,

"Haya told me," Maaz replied, Ehteshaam closed his eyes for a second and let out an audible sigh,

"Get your positions boys! Let the game begin!" Ehteshaam said to his men, they all nodded in response and left the room, leaving only three of them behind,

"When did you know?" Ehteshaam asked, lifting a revolver and passing it to Zaid,

"Since you have terms with mafia king Joseph," he answered,

"But Haya don't know anything about Joseph," Ehteshaam said,

"I know, I have my own ways..." Maaz said with a sly smile on his lips,

"Let's go!" Ehteshaam said handing a revolver and few filled magazines to Maaz,

"You know how to shoot right?" he asked before giving revolver to Maaz.

"Just give me that, I can shoot much better than you, never missed any aims in life," Maaz said tucking his gun at his back,

"Let's see," Ehteshaam said mockingly,

"Wanna bet?" Maaz said stopping Ehteshaam, standing infront of him,

"You don't want to mess with him Maaz," Zaid said from his behind,

"What do you say Ehteshaam?" Maaz asked, looking straight at Ehteshaam,

"You are on!" Ehteshaam said stepping forward from Maaz side getting out of the basement they all proceeded to the parking lot and signal their men to bring their cars, Ehteshaam smirked when his men bring his Lamborghini in front of him,

Maaz rolled his eyes at him, and watched for his car and smirked at Ehteshaam when his man pulled the same model of Lamborghini infront of him, making Ehteshaam shook his head.

"Here, take this," Ehteshaam said giving him a small earpiece device.

"What's this?" Maaz asked, taking it from his hand, "Talking device, we can communicate through it," he answered, "Okay," Maaz said and wear the device attaching the wire with his collar and turned it on,

Ehteshaam got into his car with Zaid, "Just follow me," he said through the device to Maaz, who was opening the door of his car, he nodded and they both brought the engine to life and drove off.

After driving for like fifteen minutes they reached to the deserted area, "You sure it is the right place?" Maaz asked glancing at his sideways,

"Yes, I am sure," Ehteshaam, replied,

He stopped his car infront of an abandoned building and got out of his car, Maaz walked to him, "Nice choice! Do you have any terms with the ghosts as well?" he asked, Ehteshaam shoot him a glare,

"Will you keep your voice low," he said and that's when his phone rings up, disturbing the silent atmosphere, "First follow your own advice!" Maaz said, sarcastically, "Just keep him away from me Zaid," Ehteshaam said irritated and received his call,

"Yes Ayesha what is it?" he asked,

"Ehteshaam, they took her! They took Areesha! I heard her scream, they were two of them, Ehteshaam please save her, she is innocent, she has nothing to do with all this, they will hurt her, please help her Ehteshaam," he heard Mahrosh's scared voice,

"Hey!! calm down my love, nothing will happen to her, I know where she is, I will bring her back okay, just calm down, don't stress yourself," he said,

"How can I calm down? It was my entire fault, I took her with me," Mahrosh said crying,

"No, it's not your fault; I promise nothing will happen to her," Ehteshaam assured her,

"You promise?" Mahrosh asked,

"Yes, my love, I promise," he said,

"Please help her Ehteshaam, she has been through so much in her life and now this," Mahrosh said in a low tone.

"Shh... just try to relax, I have my team and Maaz with me we will be back in a short time okay," he said,

"Okay, just be careful," Mahrosh, said,

"Okay," he replied and cut the call when Zaid gave him some signal, he nodded and watched Maaz,

"Are you done sweet talking to your wife?" he asked, "Why?' are you jealous?" Ehteshaam asked mockingly,

"Me! Maaz Jaferi! Jealous of you?" Maaz asked, laughing, "Never in your wildest dream!"

"Come on you two! It's not the time for arguing," Zaid said loading his gun,

"Zaid, you take the back side and lead them the way I will be in front, the rest of you know the drill right?" he asked,

"Yes boss!" they all said, and left from there leaving both men alone,

"Shall we begin," Ehteshaam asked, taking out his gun,

"After you," Maaz said, they both take steps towards the main entrance and quietly turn the knob of the door. "Come on," Ehteshaam said, stepping into the building, they both quietly walked through the long corridor,

"You sure this is the right place?" Maaz asked glancing around,

"Yeah, any doubt?" Ehteshaam asked, peeking through a hole into the room, "There is no one in here," Maaz said,

"Get down!" Ehteshaam shouted and pulled him with him, and that's when they heard the loud sound of shooting, few men emerged from the rooms and started shooting at them, they both dodged the bullets and started to fire at them, shooting three men in a row Maaz looked at Ehteshaam and smirked,

"Three down in a row!" he said, Ehteshaam lifted his gun to him and shoot the man behind him, "Thank me later!" he said, as Maaz turned to the man whose body lying on the ground a whole between his eyes.

He cursed him while loading his gun and started to walk opposite direction, "Where are you going?" Ehteshaam shouted,

"Don't have time to waste, you go that way, I will look here," he said and without listening to Ehteshaam climb up the stairs,

"Maaz, get down from there!" he listened through the earpiece, "Ehteshaam don't waste time on ordering me, concentrate on our task," he said and throw the earpiece on the floor, he opens the door of the room on his left and knock the two men down before going into another one.

"I am coming Areesha, just hang on for a few minutes," he mumbles.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*

"Who the hell is she?" Umair barked at his men as they laid Areesha infront of him,

"The girl you wanted, now pay up! We don't have much time, we have to escape before they get to know about us!" the man said,

"She is not the one I asked you to kidnap!" Umair said irritated,

"You just made all of this worst! I only had this chance to get my hands on Mahrosh and you losers just messed it up!" Umair Yelled,

"You told us about her attire, she is wearing the same, how in the bloody hell we could know who it was, and you should have given us more clear instructions!" one of them said,

Umair pulled out his gun and shoot, straight to both of his legs, the man cried out in pain, "So, it's all my fault!" he barked,

"Umair we should leave before Ehteshaam come here, these fools have just ruined the entire plan," Osama said,

Umair looked at him, "Not before they pay for their mistake," he said and shot both the men, "Why did you do that? Your father has hired them, you should have told him about this," Osama said looking at the dead bodies,

"He must be well aware of it by now," Umair said and kicked the dead body of a man,

"It was really difficult for us to approach Mahrosh before and now it will be impossible to get her now, she is only the anchor for Ehteshaam's happiness and I want to take it away at any cost! I want to kill her right in front of him!" he said still kicking the dead bodies,

"Calm down Umair, let's get out of here," Osama said, pushing him away from the dead bodies,

"What to do with her?" Osama asked, looking at Areesha,

"She is beautiful, can I take her?" he asked still looking at her, "Yeah do whatever you want," Umair replied carelessly,

"Bring the car around!" Umair shouted to one of his men, who, nodded and run down the halls,

"I think I have seen her somewhere," Osama said, kneeling down beside Areesha,

"Like I care," Umair replied,

"Oh shit!" Osama said, "Umair! She is the one!" he shouted,

"What?" Umair asked, totally confused,

"You remember Uzair?" he asked,

"Yeah, who can forget that BloodyA**hole!" Umair replied,

"She is the girl he wanted, he told me when we met last week, he showed me her picture, maybe we can use her after all," Osama, said,

"How?" Umair asked,

"We will tell him we got his girl and if he wants her he have to pay up," Osama replied,

"Ohh... yes! We can demand whatever we want," Umair said smiling while looking at Areesha who was stirring in her state, she slowly opened her eyes and screamed looking the sight infront of her, Both men smiled and kneeled beside her,

"Hey! You don't have to be scared of us beautiful, you are safe with us until or unless you behave," Umair said tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear,

"Don't touch me!" she shouted and tried to pull herself away from them,

"Where do you think you are going?" Osama said, grabbing her from her foot and pulled her towards him,

"Let go of me!" Areesha shouted and kicked him hard, he groaned in pain

"Feisty one!" Umair laughed, "You will regret it!" Osama said, standing up from his place and sauntered towards Areesha,

Terrified, she looked for something around her, but there was nothing she could use for her defense, Osama holds her tied hands and pulled them above her head, he lowered his face to her neck and inhaled,

"Wow! You smell so good!" he said, Areesha wriggle free from his hold and tightly slapped him across his face, turning to her Osama caught her hairs in his hands and painfully pulled her to him, making her scream in pain.

"Shout! Shout more loudly! No one can listen to you and I can assure you that! No one will help you!" Osama said angrily,

"Hey, let her go Osama," Umair said, that is when they heard the sound of gunshots across the whole building,

"Shit! He is here!" Umair cursed,

"Come on, let's go," he shouted and gathered his stuff from the table and shove all the money in a bag quickly as possible and pulled out his gun from the drawer.

He move to the door when he heard a painful cry of Osama, he looked back and watched him kneeling on the floor groaning in pain, he cursed and throw the bag on the floor and sauntered towards Areesha who was trying to run away from him, he caught her and throw her over his shoulder and kicked Osama,

"Come on man get up! Stop crying like a little girl," he said and holds Areesha more tightly as she tried to free herself from his grip,

"Just shut her up!" Osama said getting up, looking very annoyed by her screams,

"Ignore it!" Umair said and opened the door only to be knocked down by the hard punch on his jaw, he stumble backwards and fell down on his back, clutching his jaw and spitting blood from his mouth, he looked up and saw a furious man looking at him,

"Maaz!" Areesha called out, and tried to run towards her, but Osama caught her before she could run to him, Maaz looked at both of them trying to control the urge to kill them with his bare hands, he watched Areesha's scared face and pleading eyes, he notices some blood on her forehead, which made him more furious!

"How dare you touch her!" he yelled and kicked Osama right in his abdomen, he groaned in pain and Maaz quickly hold Areesha in his arms.

She hugged him like her life depends on it and started to cry, he steadied her shaking form and looked back at Umair but he was nowhere to be seen, he looked back at Osama, when he felt a sharp pain in his leg, he looked down and took a step back, and shoot Osama on his leg, He released Areesha and took out the knife from his leg trying to bear the pain. He raised his gun and pointed towards Osama,

"I won't do that if I were you," he heard Umair voice from behind, he glanced back and took a sharp breath in, Umair was holding Areesha and grazing a sharp knife on her delicate neck, Areesha had her eyes tightly closed, he could still feel how scared she was right now, he pressed his finger on the trigger,

"Don't!" Umair said, pressing the knife on her skin, making a small cut, blood started to flow out of it, making Areesha flinch,

"Let her go, Umair," Ehteshaam said, standing behind him, pointing his gun on his head, Umair looked back slightly tilts his head and saw Ehteshaam and his whole team standing there aiming towards him,

""You know very well I will end her in just a second, and I am sure you don't want that right!" he said, taking a step further, "Let us go and I won't kill her," Umair said, pressing the knife on Areesha's neck,

Ehteshaam gulped harder not wanting to let him go, but the situation was much more intense, he could not risk the life of an innocent girl just to get Umair,

"You coward! Hiding behind a woman! If you have any guts, let her go and face me!" Maaz said, grabbing Osama from his hairs and landed a side punch on his face.

"Say whatever you want, I am not letting her go until you let us pass," Umair said, Maaz looked at Areesha's scared face, her teary eyes, he clenched his jaw and balled his hands into a tight fist that his nails were digging into his skin, drawing some blood out of his palm,

"Maaz, let him go," Ehteshaam said,

"Ask your men to lower their weapon," said Umair taking cautious steps to the exit, taking Areesha with him, Ehteshaam nodded and his men lowered their guns and took a step back, Ehteshaam stared at Maaz who was still holding Osama and pointing his gun on his head,

"Maaz let him go," He said, Maaz shifted his gaze from Areesha to him, he motions him to lower his gun,

Unwillingly, he let go of Osama and throw his revolver on the sidewall, cursing loudly, Umair smirked and took backward steps taking Areesha with him,

"Don't worry brother! She will be back after bidding me goodbye, but if any one of you tried to show some efficiency, you will only find her dead body," Umair said and kicked Osama to get up.

They both move to the exit, Maaz tried to go after them, but Ehteshaam caught him from his shoulders, stopping him on his tracks, "Maaz, don't," he warned him, Maaz looked at Areesha as Umair was walking towards the doors.

When he approached the door, he looked at them and smiled evilly, "We will meet again beautiful," he said in a low tone making Areesha cringe, pushed her towards the floor, and ran after Osama, Ehteshaam's men started to shoot them but Ehteshaam hold his hand up in the air, signaling them to stop.

Maaz runs towards Areesha and gathered her trembling form in his arms, she clutched his shirt in her small hands and buried her face in his strong chest, Maaz run his fingers through her hairs and caressed her back trying to soothe her up, but she cried harder and tighten her hold on him,

"Is she okay?" Zaid asked, kneeling beside them,

"Does she look okay to you?" Maaz asked angrily,

"I didn't mean in that way!" Zaid replied, "Come on, let's get her out of here," Ehteshaam said,

"What about the dead bodies?" Zaid asked, making Areesha hold Maaz with more force,

"Can you guys take it somewhere else, you are scaring her!" Maaz said, both men looked at him and turned away from them,

"How many of our men got injured?" Ehteshaam asked,

"Just three of them, but it's not serious, they are fine," Zaid replied,

"How many do we have as a hostage?" Ehteshaam asked,

"None!" Zaid replied, "What?" Ehteshaam asked,

"No one survived, we got all of Umair's men today, we could have gotten him but that bloody coward used that girl in his defense," Zaid said glancing back at Maaz and Areesha.

Ehteshaam shook his head and glance at his ringing cell phone, illuminating Mahrosh's name on the screen, he sighed, "Just burn this place down," he ordered, and walked out of the building with Maaz carrying Areesha in his arms.

They both reached to their cars and Maaz settled Areesha in his car, "Sh... it's all over Areesha, you are safe with me now," Maaz said, caressing her cheeks and cleaning her tear stained face, but Areesha didn't release him just hold him, not wanting to let him go,

"Hey, stop crying Areesha," Maaz said, holding her cold hands in his large ones, she looked up at him with tear filled eyes, "I promise nothing like this will ever happen to you again," he said, "You promise?" she asked in a low voice, "Yes, I promise," he said and kissed her forehead, "Just try to relax and stay here, I will be right back," he said, "No, Please don't leave me!" she cried out,

"I am just coming back in a few minutes, okay, here, have some water," he said and handed her a water bottle, and closed the door.

"I want to know about that man," Maaz said to Ehteshaam.

Ehteshaam looked up from his cell phone, "Who?" he asked,

"The one who escaped, I want to know who he is, and why he kidnapped my fiancé," Maaz asked leaning on the car,

"He wasn't after Areesha, he is after Mahrosh, and don't worry, I will handle him, you don't have to be worried for him," Ehteshaam said,

"He is your brother isn't he?" Maaz asked, after a few minutes passed, making Ehteshaam stiff in his place,

"No, he is not my brother," he said in a low tone,

"Do you think I am fool? Just keep your family drama away from my life! If anything could have happened to Areesha today, I wouldn't have spared any one of you!" Maaz yelled,

"And without my help, you couldn't have found her, I know it was my problem and Areesha was being dragged into it, and I am sorry for that," Ehteshaam said,

"You what?" Maaz asked, surprised by Ehteshaam's words,

"I said I am sorry!" he repeated,

"Mighty Ehteshaam Ahmed is apologizing to me!" Maaz said, making Ehteshaam shook his head,

"How is Areesha?" Ehteshaam asked, glancing at her, Maaz looked at her "She is scared, but she will be fine," he replied.

"All done! Come on let's go," Zaid said coming to him, Ehteshaam nodded and unlocked his car, Zaid got in, Maaz put his hand on Ehteshaam's shoulder, stopping him,

"Thank you for helping me out, despite our differences and business rivalry, I really want to thank you for helping me tonight," Maaz said after fidgeting with his feeling for a few minutes,

"No problem," Ehteshaam smiling,

"Promise me one thing," Maaz said, Ehteshaam raised his eyebrow in question,

"When you will get your hands on that Bastard, beat the hell out of him for me will you? I know he is the brother who harassed Haya as well," he asked, making Ehteshaam stare at him,

"Sure!" he said and they both shook their hands,

"Keep her safe and take care of her," Ehteshaam said, looking at Areesha "sure will do, and don't worry, your secret is safe with me Ehteshaam," Maaz said smiling, they both did a brotherly hug and walk to their cars,

"So, you guys are friends now?" Zaid asked, when Ehteshaam settled down in driving seat,

"Nah... we can't be friends, you know it very well Zaid," Ehteshaam said grinning, looking at Maaz, who was saying something to Areesha. Zaid rolled his eyes and laid his head back on the seat and closed his eyes,

"Whatever man!" he said, Ehteshaam bring the engine to life, and started to drive back to his awaiting wife.

Maaz watched Ehteshaam's car going away with a speed and hold Areesha's trembling hand in his strong ones, he kissed the back of her hand,

"You are safe now Areesha, there is no need to be scared," he said,

She looked up to him with teary eyes, "thank you for coming for me, you don't know how scared I was, when that man was taking me with him, at that moment I thought I will never be able to see my family, Adil, I thought I would lose them and you, "She said but kept her hand on her mouth, Maaz looked at her with amusement in his eyes.

"Why me?" he asked, playing with her fingers,

"No, not you, why do you think I will think of you?" Areesha asked,

"You just said you were scared that you will never be able to see me," Maaz asked, tugging her closer to him,

"No, I didn't mention you, I said I was scared to not seeing my family and Adil again," Areesha said not having enough courage to look at him, slapping herself in her mind to mention his name earlier, but tried to be stubborn in front of Maaz, so she denied. Maaz chuckled a bit and came closer to her face and whispered in her ear,

"You did," he said kissing her cheek, making her blush, before pulling back and pick up the box from his side, which Zaid gave him earlier, taking out a cotton he cleaned Areesha's bleeding forehead and cut on her neck, Areesha flinched when he dabbed the cotton on her wounds, "Sorry," he said and continued his task.

Areesha closed her eyes and let him take care of her wounds, after sticking the bandage strip on her wounds he straightens up. "You are hurt," Areesha said glancing at his wounded leg, "just a little cut," he said carelessly,

"A little cut! That man stabbed you with that knife and you are saying it is just a little cut!" Areesha said,

"Calm your nerves! It's not a big deal," Maaz said, throwing box at the back,

"You are not driving with an injured leg," Areesha argued,

"Oh come on, it's not that bad," he said, Areesha watched him for some time and pulled her dupatta off her and started to tie it around his leg, "What are you doing?" he asked as he watched her wrapping her dupatta on his leg,

"You will lose much more blood till we reach home, we don't have anything else to stop the bleeding and being stubborn as always, you won't go to the hospital, so I tie this on your leg to stop bleeding till we reach home," Areesha said,

Maaz looked at her and shook his head for her kind gesture; she was different from those other girls. He glanced back at her who has turned her back towards him, feeling a bit nervous sitting with him without her dupatta or something else, Maaz smiled and picked up a shawl from the back and draped it over her body, and she looked at him surprised then glance at the shawl on her shoulders.

"You can thank me later," he said and started to drive.
