Third person's POV.
"Did you meet her?" His officer asked him who was going through some videos on his laptop.

"Yes Sir agent Rubab came today. I got impress by her work and the information she collected. I'm going through that information right now." He replied looking at the files he opened up in his laptop.

"Malik these informations are very confidential. We can't share it until we got all the evidance." Said his officer and he gave a nod while leaning back on the chair.

"I know Sir. That's why I'm taking my time. Also waiting the call of Roney. I want to know the situation and after that i want to take action." Said Malik and open another file on his laotop.

As he was reading those files a thin line formed on his forehead.

"I'll let you know Sir.  May Allah ease our way to truth." Saying, he cut the call and read that file again and looked at the images.

A frown appeared on his forehead while his lips cursed and he took his mobile again. Dialing a number, he waited to be picked.

"Assalam-u-Alikum Rubab." He said as the call was answered.

"Is it true what you've given me? Sardar Wahab's son is also out there? These videos of girls and boys? Can we get all the record?" He asked and zoomed the image but the face was not clear.

"100 percent Sir. I've been after this since a month. Its not a case of human trafficking but more than that. Its a bloddy dirty business they are doing right now." She replied and he gave a nod.

"What about the videos you've given me?" He asked as he played a video on his laptop and he cursed as he saw it.

"Bastareds." He cursed under his breath.

"I got few of them which i gave you but its true and its a big game Sir. Its not just the lust but a fully running business." She said and Malik gave a nod.

"Hmm. Let me talk to Roney then I'll tell you what you've to do next." He said and cut the call.

"Roney." As the call was dialed, he said as Roney picked the call.

"Sir." He said from other side.

"Sardar Wahab's son is out there too. Sultan khan and Sardar wahab are planning something big this time." Said Malik and looked at some videos.

"I know Sir. I got the information. I'm trying my best to search his men around or the person he send on this mission but we don't have any picture." Said Roney and on other side Malik got tensed.

"Is she okay? Are you around her?" Asked Malik and a smile touched Roney lips.

"Yes Sir she's fine. I'm just around her. Keeping my eyes on her all time." Said Roney.

"This have to be our first propriety Roney. Her protection is the first thing we've to do." Said Malik and Roney gave a nod while leaning back on his chair.

"I know Sir. I'll try my best." Said Roney.

"You've to reach him before he could reach her." Said Malik and Roney agreed with a nod.

"This is a dirt and we can't let her be there. You've to protect her intil I'm here." Said Malik and Roney nodded.

"I know Sir. I'll nothing let happen anything to her. May Allah be our Helper and ease our way." Said Roney.

"Ameen. Allah Hafiz. " saying they disconnected the call.

Both of them leaned back on their chairs  mind tangled with thousand of thoughts while hearts were beating for the one who were living in their hearts for years.

Khirad's POV.
I looked at my mobile but there was no massage. 24 hours passed but he didn't massaged me and I  felt my heart beat stopping. My eyes were brimming up with tears again and again but I  wasn't letting them to flow down on my cheeks. Blinking my eyes, I looked around at my friends and other class fellows who were enjoying the beautiful view of sawat valley. Students were taking  pictures and spending the best time with each other but I wasn't. How could I?? When my life was offended with me? When he was not talking to me. Not listening to me. I thought I couldn't breath anymore.

I was getting mad. Just for his one massage. My eyes were locked with the mobile screen which was as silent as was my heart now. With every passing second I thought I'm losing my senses. I looked around and found our teachers there standing at a distance.

"Ma'am." I called our teacher and she walked to me.

"I'm not feeling well. Can I go to my room?" I asked and she looked at me and then gave a nod

We were in a park which was just beside the hotel we were staying.  I just ran from there without looking at anyone and went directly to my room. I wasn't able to think anything. Senses blocked as all I had Him on my mind.  Locking the door behind me, I broke into tears and cried a lot for the one who was my companion since years and now he all of sudden just turned his face from me. He made me addict of him and now was not checking on me as if i was okay or not.

Unlocking the mobike I went to the contact "My Breaths." And kept looking at its number, his face saved there. This was he for me. He was my breaths.  My reason of living.  It was not me but him who pulled me in all this. He planted that flower of love in my heart and now was ruining it by himself. I was getting mad as much as i was thinking about him. I felt my breaths going slow.

"How can you forget me? How can you stay without talking to me? When I'm dying without you. The world has become so colourless since you turned your face away from me." I cried more and more while talking to him who was not there but near to my heart. Actually in my heart close to me.

I didn't know how much time passed but i just kept shedding tears, laying down on the ground not caring for any cold or anything. I was writing down his name who was making me die with his silence. As i heard my mobile ringing i took my mobile thinking maybe it would be his call but it was not his call. But the person I  really needed to talk.

"Badi Bi." I cried as i recieved the call.

"Khirad bachy what happened? Why are you crying?" Badi Bi asked from other side.

"I want...to die Badi Bi." I cried with hiccups.

"What nonsense! What happened to you all of sudden? You were happily gone on the trip then what happened?" Badi Bi asked and i just kept sobbing looking down at the ground.

"He's...not talking to me. I offended him." I told her while crying.

"Why?" Asked Badi Bi snd i bite my liis knowning it was my mistake.

"I..just...offended him when he came to meet me." I said crying.

"He came to meet you? In front of everyone? What an idiot and stubborn fellow." Said Badi Bi and I just kept shedding tears.

"Okay now don't cry. I'll talk to him. And warn him not to tease you." Badi Bi said and a smile touched my lips with a hope as i knew now he'll talk to me.

"I'm just scared. What if he never talked to me?" I asked as tear of fear rolled down on my cheek.

"Ah don't worry about that. Don't I know him. He can't live a second without you because he says you're his heart beat. Now don't stress yourself any more. He'll talk to you. Take care " saying Badi Bi disconnected the call and i just stood up and walked to the bed and sat on it.

Placing my hair on my shoulder i leaned back on the head board and wrapped my arms around my knees. My all thoughts every way of thought every word every sight everything i wonder belonged to him, go through him, roam around him and i was helpless in doing anything. Closing my eyes i just kept looking at the face which never disappeared from my eyes.

Aarhan's POV.

I was looking around feeling boring.  All the students were enjoying.  Talking pictures and eating laughing and running but I was now bored of all this. We were in the nearby park of our hotel which just spoiled my mood completely.

Our bus got some techniquel problem which made our visits to the waterfalls and mountains cancelled. We all were brought here to pass our time. But I was really not liking it all. Come on we were not kid to play in the parks. But our teachers bounds us here.

"Aarhan come on pal. Let's have a group  picture." Said my friend calling me but I refused and took my mobile out.

Dialing a number, i kept looking around and waited for the call to be picked.

"Assalam-u-Alikum parents." I said as Baba picked the call.

"Walikumusalam. How are you? We thought you must be busy in your trip." Said Baba from other side.

"What trip Baba! Our bus got some problem. So today we are just enjoying the around area of our hotel. You tell me how are you? How's my Mama? And my beautiful Bibi Gul?" I asjed excitedly.

"We all are fine. Where is Soha? Is she enjoying?" Asked Baba and walked i looked around to find her.

"She's okay baba. Picturing with her friends right now. But she's a little sad." I said stopping my laugh.

"Why? Why Sohan is Sad?" I heard big brother's  voice from behind telling me that he was around and Baba had putted the mobile on open speaker.

"Big brother? You and home? This time?" I asked surprised and somewhere pulling his leg.

"For lunch me and Baba came. Now tell me why Sohan is sad?" He asked and I thought to tease him more.

"Firstly she's sad because her Aryan is not with her and secondly she's thinking about Alena." I said looking at her who was laughing while talking to her friends

"What Alena?" His voice came from other side.

"Ary you've told her na that Alena is so beautiful and you really liked her. So your Rapunzel is thinking is she not beautiful?" I laughed as i finished, remembering her sad face i saw in the morning complaining.

"What?" Bhai almost shouted but i heard Baba's shout too.

"She was complaining in the morning that her Aryan thinks that Alena Bakhshi is beautiful but he never told her that she was beautiful? Am I beautiful Arhaan? She asked so sweetly in the morning." I narrated everything keeping her all the time in my eyes.

But else my eyes were finding was not there. Her friend was not there. My khirad!!! Hahhh! She was not there. I placed my hand on my heart as I remembered her and my eyes roamed fastly around the girls to find her but she was not there.

"Where's she?" I thought looking around.

"Who? Is Sohan there?" Aryan bhai asked again.

"Yes your Sohan is just in front of my eyes. She's talking to her friends and is a little sad because it's a sunny day. No snow. That's why. But I cheered her up." I said and heard a relieved breath realised from my brother's mouth.

"Where's my mama?" I asked and later on, I talked to mama and Zobariya narrating every part of my trip.

As i disconnected the call i walked to Soha and stood next to her looking at the group of girl she was standing.

"What are you doing here?" Asked Soha as she noticed me.

"Dear sister where's your friend?" I asked looking for khirad.

"My friends." She said pointing toward a group of girls.

"Girls my stupid and silly brother." Said Soha introducing me to them all who smiled at me .

"Hey beauties. But where is that pearl which is not shinning around you today. Where is she? I'm talking about khirad." I said leaning a little closer to her to make it hear only to her.

"Ohhh so my brother is looking for khirad.  Why?" Turning to me, she asked folded her arms on her chest.

"Because this is missing her." Placing my hand on my heart, I said trying to act more cutely.

"So sweet." Pinching my cheeks, said Soha.

"But she's not here. She was not feeling well so she left to her room." She said and I got concerned.

"What happened to her all of sudden?" I asked concerned.

"Don't be a romeo now. She must be sleeping. She'll fine till evening.  Now go and enjoy." She said patting my shoulder.

"You know I'm always worried about girls." I said winking and laughed.

I turned to still thinking about her.  Putting ny hands in my leather jacket pockets, I took deep ahead lowering my head a little as I thought about her.

"By the way.." I stopoed and turned on soha voice.

"What these two friends are always around us? Take them with you." She said and I smiled.

"They like you all but finding a suitable girlfriend for them." I said and ran from there as i got deathly glare of all girls and so did my friends ran from there.

Third person's POV.
His eyes roamed around to find her but she was not there. Not in the group of girls, not with her best friend soha. Not near the swing, she used to like. Sighing, he looked down at her mobile and opened gallery to see her only picture he had.

It was an old one  and he felt like standing on the way when he met her for the first time. The more his eyes were roaming on her features, his heart yearns for her more and anger grew more strongly in him as he recalled what she said. What she did.

She blamed him for what he never did, never wanted. She insulted him his feelings. She insulted the relation they had since years. As anger grew more, he locked the mobile, put it back in his jacket.  He looked down, jaw clenched tightly fingers tangled tightly in trying to control his anger and hurt.  His eyes got red and teary.

"Sir." He looked up at the call.

"We've stopped them today but what we will do tomorrow?" Munir asked and Roney looked at the students and teachers from a distance.

"Our men?" He asked looking at Munir.

"On every way. The protection shield is ready sir. We just have to find Asfandyar between these students." Said Farhad the other companion.

"Good  you guys keep your eyes on them closely from now on. Let me check what's going out there." Said Roney and nodding both left but before he could do anything, his mobile start ringing.

A smile touched his lips as he read the name. With a huge smile on his lips, he took the call.

"Hey my..."

"Idiot, Moron, stupid." The other person started as he picked the call. 

"What is this? For this you called me?" He said offended.

"Yes. What you did yesterday? How can you do this? How can you create trouble for her when you said that she's your life. Why did you go to meet her?" The questions was asked from other side.

"Oh now I get it. You've called me as her lawyer.  Okay I understand." He answered still offended.

"Why you went to meet her? Did you forgot your promise you made to us?" The question was asked again.

"I didn't forget anything. I remember everything like yesterday.  And yes I went to meet her because my heart wanted it. To see her closely. To just see her for once and you know what she said." He said loudly throwing his anger out.

"Forget what she did but what are you doing now? Why are you not talking to her? She's waiting for your massage and it made her lost her senses. She's crying. She wants to die because she think that you will not talk to her ever." Badi Bi said and took a pause to take breath.

"What? Die?" He got shocked on what he heard.

"Yes. Now End your offence and talk to her. She's really upset." Saying, Badi Bi ended the call while he kept seated shocked, eyes fixed on the screen of mobile.

It had been 24 hours he didn't check her messages neither did a single massage to her for whom his heart was yearning with every second. He took a deep sigh and leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes. As he got relaxed and mind tangled again with her thoughts, his mobile start ringing.  Without looking at the caller ID he received the call .

"Yes." He asked as he answered the call.

"Roney you okay?" On the question his eyes snapped opened.

"Malik Sir." He said as he recognized the voice and straightened on the chair as if Malik was seated in front of him.

"What happened to you?" Asked Malik from other side, sipping his hot coffee.

"Nothibg sir. I was just thinking about the case we're working on." Said Roney and Malik laughed on his words.

"Let me remind you that Roney never take tension of any case but believes in taking action. Right!? So now tell me what's the problem?" Asked Malik again and Roney looked around just to avoid the question.

"Let me guess. Its about her right?!" Said Malik and Roney was surprised on his place that how he knew.

"What you did?" Asked Malik.

"I just..went to meet her." Confessed Roney looking down.

"Why? She talks to you through messages. Isn't enough?" Asked Malik hoping to get an answer.

"No its not enough.  Its really not enough Sir. What's the fault of my heart? Of my eyes? My heart, my eyes yearns to see her. My lashes never wants to blink when I fixed my eyes on her. Since years my heart is craxy for her. Why doesn't she understand that she beat here.  Deeply in my heart.  Then how can I think to hurt her. It would be like if i want to kill myself." He said defeated.

"Calm down. Don't overreact. Just talk to her." Said Malik and Roney frowned.

"She's not like yours who can listen to wherever you say." Said Roney, frustated with the conversation.

"Don't involve her in all this. She's so innocent." Said Malik thinking about the girl beating in his heart.

"Roney." Malik called him.

"You're keeping your eyes open right?! Wr can't afford any mistake.  We can't let them to take her to that hell." Said Malik and Roney nodded

"I know.  You just try to crack down on other side." Said Roney.

"I'm doing my best. You keep your eyes open.  May Allah be our helper. Allah Hafiz." Said Malik.

"Ameen Sir. AllahHafiz." Both disconnected the call and both of their minds start thinking something.

Aryan's POV.

Spending another day with Alena Bakhshi, I returned home but i was felt i was still there.  In lost her beauty. All the day, we visited their working sites and ours too. We had our lunch together and now I was home but it felt so beautiful to be with her.

"Aryan WS Corporations were inviting us." Baba's voice took me out of my thoughts and i looked at him.

"WS Corporations?" I asked as my mind didn't register the name as I've not heard it before.

"WS Corporations. They just entered the fashion house. They got some excellent designs and prompting themes. I got empressed by their work. So i thought to work with them too. Mr Bakhshi actually introduced me to them." Said Baba and i kept thinking about the letters 'WS'.

"Who's running the business?" I asked looking at Baba.

"What was the name?" Baba start thinking and i was getting curious to know.

"Yeah its Asfandyar Khan and his friend Sardar Wahaj. Both are young boys but I saw passion in their work." Said Baba and walked toward dinning table and I followed him.

"They have their textiles over here too. They were talking about embroidery work taken from their village.  I saw some samples and they were really great. I thoght you will liked it. I talked to them about you and they happily agreed and see today they called and invited us." Said Baba and I was just listening.

"What about the Bakhshi Group of companies.  Aren't we going to deal with them." I asked as i took my dinner out in my plate.

"Of course we are. But I thought you   should meet WS Corporation too. They will be helpful for the future work." Said Baba convincing me and i gave a nod in agreement.

"Okay as you Say Baba. I'll go and meet them with you." I said while having my meal.

"Sorry son me and your mother are going to our vilkage for few days as your grandparents are missing us." Said Baba and I smiled knowning his meaning.

He wanted privacy with his wife and for that he always go our village which was so beautiful and with Mama he spend his best time there.

"Sure you can go but don't forget to give me their number." I said and got up as I finished my dinner.

"Bibi Gul A cup of coffee in my room please." I said while going to the stairs.

Bibi Gul smiled with a nod and I walked to my room as I was hell tired with all day work. But still there was something i had to do. I had to talk to Sohan. How could  i forget her. Smilingly I took ny mobile and sat on bed taking the duvet close to my chest.

"Where were you? All the day you not even called neither massaged me?" As my call was received, Sohan start talking before i could say anything.

"Assalam-u-Alikum Sohan." I said calmly.

"Walikumusalam. Tell me where were you? I can see you're changing." I heard her and felt her sobbing.

"Hey what happened? Why are you crying? I'm sorry I couldn't call you because I was busy." I said getting restless on her tears.

"Busy with that Alena? I'm telling you Aryan I'm not liking her." I heard her and my lips stretched into a smile.

"She's just a partner. And she's a good person.  You will like her for sure once you meet her. And I'm sorry i will never do that mistake again." I sad and took the coffee to sip down which just Bibi gul left in my room.

"Now smile please." I said as i knew she would be seated with a sad face.

"First promise me you won't change." She demaned.

"Its a promise.  Your Aryan will never change for his Sohan. Now smile pretty girl." I said and heard  her giggle from other side.

"Thank God. Now tell me about your trip." And the session of sharing our daily routine started and i knew it was going to midnight as we start talking. 

Third person's POV.
"Pretty girl." She smiled to herself while recalling his words and walked to bed.

After talking to Aryan, Soha went to her bed happily, thinking new dreams which were tingling her heart.  Her every thought, every word, every step, every dream started to belong to Aryan who was unaware of those new feelings rising in her heart. His simple few words were creating a storm of happiness in her heart. In that happiness she lay down on bed and drifted down to sleep where her dreams were filled with her Aryan.

As she slept, khirad who was waiting for her to sleep got up and took her mobile.  Her condition was not good. It fekt like she was having some problem with breathing. Her forehead filled up with beads of sweat. Her hair strands hanged on both of her temples and her breaths gone more ragged.  Throwing the duvet away she looked around, her friends sleeping peacefully. She almost ran out to the balcony and start taking deep breaths to calm her crazy heart which was running so fast. Her breaths got more ragged eyes filled up with tears and hands shivered like unlocking the code. She opened the massage box with trembling fingers and then WhatsApp but no massage from My Breaths. Holding the railing of the balcony, she looked down at the  groud. Her mind started to work and before she could do some stupid act like jumping down, someone caught her wrist and pulled her back.

Her head collided with some hard rock chest and she stopped where she was. This fragrance was not a strange one but a familiar. A very heart taking fragrance. She knew this fragrance.  She recognize this cologne coming from the person who was standing so close to her. Her head was stilk touching his chest but she couldn't move. Her breaths started to slow down as they were inhaling his fragrance deeply in her lungs.  Her heart rate started to calm.

"What were you going to do?" And his deep, manly but soft voice touched her ears.

With a jolt, she moved back creating distance between them. In few seconds of his presence around her made her look better. She felt alive again.

"What are you doing here?" She came back to her senses, turned her head toward room to see if her roommates are still sleeping.

"What were you going to do? I saw you were ready to jump down." He said gritted his teeth, controlling his anger.

"I was not.  Why would I?" She said looking away from his eyes.

"But you shouldn't come here like this? Why you want to take what i have? My respect, my honor. Why you come to meet me again. What if..?" She stopped tangled her fingers and looked around with lower gaze.

"What if? Huh! First you've insulted me. Then I was told that miss khirad is dying without me. I can see your condition. Should I be happy to see that my rudeness did all this to you or should I hate myself for loving you crazily that you don't have trust on me. I don't know why are you pushing me away." He said taking a step closer to her who took a step back trembling in fear.

"Just stay away from me.  Don't come near to me. I hate being close to you." She said as her tears rushed out of her eyes.

"As you've said I'm not a stranger then why are you so scared of me? I know there must be some reason of your behaviour but truly I'm not understanding you. What you want Khirad? You love me or not?" He asked frustrated.

"I want you to leave me alone.  Forget everything. Forget me. Every relation between us." Her words made his feet faltered in shock and he took two steps back.

"Consider its ended now. The fake relation we had maybe." Saying, he turned and jumped from the balcony to other and then to other and taking the pipe he went down by crawling on it but never turned back and looked at her.

She fell down shocked on what he said. On what she did. Covering her mouth in shock, she stopoed her yell on the loss. On what she lost, her heart was yelling deeply inside.

"What I did? I asked him to forget me?" She asked herself and slapped her face harder.

"I asked him to break the relation!" Saying she slapped herself again.

"What i did." Saying she was just slapping herself and crying like a mad person.

But at that moment she was a mad person who was crazily in love with him who just stepped out of her life on her own wish and now she was feeling the death near to her as her breaths started to uneven again but she didn't care. She kept seated there in cold and kept crying all the night.

"What if he never come back?" She asked this question several time but there was no answer of it.

All the night passing and she just kept crying for Him who was her life.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

"Is everything set?" He asked looking at girls pictures his friend posted him.

"Tomorrow morning, I want this girl." He said sending a picture of the girl.

"Don't worry Dude. She's our jackpot. She'll be in our cage tomorrow.  But what about the other deal?" Asked the first one.

"I'm working on it. It will take 3 days for us to take the container out of the country." Said the second one.

"Asfandyar but we need that girl tomorrow.  Baba Sahib want it at any cost. Its our jackpot ." Said the other sider.

"I know. Everything is ready. The sparrow is going to be caught." And both laughed while his eyes roamed on the picture of Soha.
