Putting Jaan and Zimal to sleep, i again went to Zaroon's room, from the effects of medicines he was asleep and his book was opened beside him. A smile appeared on my lips, shooking my head smilingly i picked the book and placed it on the side table.

I brushed his hairs away and kissed his forehead before putting pillows on his sides. Adjusting his comforter, i lastly glanced at him and walked out of the room closing the door behind.

Going back to Jaan's room, i took a quick shower, offered 'Esha prayer' and making a dua, i stood up folding the prayer mat. As my foots were paining, i slowly sat on the bed undoing my blooded bandage. The fresh blood started oozing out, my foots were both swelled and the pain was unbearable.

I slowly stood up and instantly hissed in pain, i took out the medicine box from the drawer and sat down on the bed. I first cleaned my foots then applied the ointment and at last bandaged them. Although there was a cut on my hand but the pain wasn't as unbearable as the foots.

Cleaning the mess and blood stains on the floor, i laid down beside Jaan and closing my eyes i went into deep slumber of sleep.

Around 3 in the night, Yuhaan came home. He looked towards the sofa in the hallway and his unknown hope shattered as he didn't saw her there. Although it happened only 2 times that he came home late but the both times, she was always seen here sitting there reading a book and her soft smile towards him was a refreshing feeling for him.

Fisting his hands, he walked in his room but yet again was miserably disappointed when he didn't saw her in the room. With a motto 'He don't care' he walked in the bathroom but his anger shot up when he saw her things weren't there.

In anger he threw everything placed on the shelf, the glass bottles shattered into thousands of pieces and a loud bang was heard the next second. The mirror was cracked, his knuckles were slightly blood filled but his rageful red eyes knew no bound to stop, he kept banging his hand on the mirror to break it into millions of pieces "How f*cking dare she? Who does she think she is"?

His aura was powerful, his rageful glaring eyes were staring into nothingness, his hands were fisted and his murderous voice echoed in the pin drop silent bathroom "You wanna play hide and seek then let's play but.......with my rules" his words were an hidden challenge as if she has lost before the game was even started.

************

The breakfast table was set, everyone were present there except Ayzal. Unknowingly his eyes kept looking around just to have her one glance but she was nowhere to be seen. It's been more than a day that he hasn't seen her and it was definitely a suffocated feeling for him. He was confused with these new emotions because he never had emotions before so all this was confusing for him and he has no one to question and have answers.

He was alone....yet again!

Zimal and Jaan were ready in their school uniform, Zaroon was Alhumdulilah in a good health but needed more rest, so he wasn't going to school.

Yuhaan internally let out a soft sigh looking at Zaroon, just he knows how worried and panicked he was when Rehmat came running into his office and told him about the call from one of his bodyguard that Zaroon is taken to the hospital. He didn't knew what happened and he didn't wanted to knew, the thing he knew was, Zaroon was laying on the hospital bed unconscious and for the first time he saw his brother's trust in him breaking, the promise he had given to his brother breaking right infront of his eyes.

Looking at the 3 kids eating happily their breakfast, his lips curled up in a very small smile but his face scrunched up as soon as he took a bite of his breakfast, then taking a sip of his coffee, his anger shot up "Mrs. Khalid!" He called out angrily. The food didn't tasted like she makes it, even his usual coffee tasted bland for the first time. Beena came running in the dinning room and asked politely "What happened"?

"Who made my breakfast"? He asked because he was hell sure that it wasn't prepared by Ayzal "It was prepared by Fahad. Why what happened"? She asked calmly.

"Where is Ayzal"? He asked greeting his teeth in anger "She left for her university after preparing kids breakfast" Her reply made Yuhaan so mad that he stood up abruptly making the chair to make a terrible voice "So she can make the breakfast for kids but not for me" he mumbled in his mouth furiously before walking out of the dinning room and leaving the kids dumbfounded at his actions.

Mrs. Khalid hurriedly ran behind him "Yuhaan! Can i take your 5 minutes"? He stopped and without a single word walked upstairs straight to his study. Taking this an cue, she ran to the kitchen, plated out the dessert she hid yesterday from Ayzal and hurriedly walked upstairs.

After getting the permission she walked in. Placing the plate on his desk, she softly pushed it infront of him, he narrowed his eyes at her and arched his one eyebrow at her.

"I don't know what happened between you both but she is clearly ignoring you. Do you know this cupcake was specially baked for you by her. 2 days ago she asked me about your favourite flavour and on the same day she made these for you. She didn't had her dinner, she waited for you but unfortunately you didn't came home and Zaroon ate it. Thankfully Ayzal took him to the hospital in time........" She paused as she took a sigh.

Doctor's words rang in Yuhaan's mind "Thank God! You were on time or else, a second later would have been very dangerous for him"

"You know in what condition did she came home yesterday? Her Both foots were bandaged and there was a bandage on her hand also. I knew she was in pain but still she made dinner for the kids and asked me to make dinner for you....... yesterday when i was passing from Zimal's room, i heard her asking Zimal to call her pretty lady as she used to, why do you think she said it?.........." She sighed and continued.

"There are many more things but for now these were the most important. I will just give you an advise that Ayzal is a very pure hearted girl, you will never find anyone like her so please just don't let her go away from you.......she was going to distribute the cupcakes yesterday but i hid one of them for you" She sighed and looking at his bandaged knuckles, she asked politely "Do you want me to bandage your hand again"? He shooked his head but nor once he looked at her. She nodded her head and walked out but Yuhaan didn't uttered a single word he just kept looking at the cake with deep thoughts.

He don't like sweets but the only dessert he eats or like is peanut crushed caramel cupcakes. Beena also made these for him but he was never satisfied with the taste.

Picking the spoon from the plate, he took a bite of the cake and the flavour of caramel with crushed peanuts bursted his taste buds. He always knew she makes the best food but he was tasting her handmade dessert first time and for the first time he was satisfied with the cupcake taste. The sweetness was just too on the point.

Finishing the cake, he stood up lighting his cigarette and walked towards the glass window. Pulling out his phone from his pocket he typed a small message but the message created a havoc in his people's lives '5th level punishment for all of you'

No one knew why they were punished but they were obliged to follow his every single word. He stood there looking outside with clenched hands as Mrs. Khalid's words rang in his mind repeatedly 'Her both foots were bandaged and there was a bandage on her hand also'

The punishment was allotted to them because he gave them orders to follow her and give him every single detail about her then why didn't they told him about her injury?
