Ruhena stirred in her sleep as she heard a commotion outside. She instantly stood up and ran out without wearing her slippers.

A team of international doctors were crowded inside Yuhaan's room while Ayzal was crying silently "W-what happened"? Ruhena whispered out as tears rolled down from her eyes "It seemed like an attack........Mom woke up with Dad's heavy shivering and soon it turned into seizures attack. D-dad's vitals took a instant drop so mom.........." Zimal trailed off as Ruhena pulled her in a hug.

"Dad is going to be fine Zimal" Ruhena kissed her hairs and Zimal who was in a stupor till now let her strong guards down and cried hard in Ruhena's embrace. Ruhena calmed her down and making her drink water, she made her way towards the broken Ayzal.

Ruhena engulfed her in a hug and tried her best to soothe Ayzal's worries. As much as Ruhena was concerned for everyone but her silvery gaze was wandering around for only one person who was nowhere to be seen right now.

Ya Allah! Please keep Dad safe and sound and.........Keep Zaroon strong against all these odd. Ameen Sumameen.

**********

"I want that f*cking person right now" Zaroon's murderous voice echoed in the control room of the mansion where they were trying to know the identity of the person who attacked on Yuhaan this morning.

"Zaroon calm down....." Ramish trailed off as Zaroon's blood shot eyes threatened Ramish to utter a single word more "Calm down? You are telling me to calm down when Dad was at a brick closer to death because of our f*cking negligence. I am going to kill that person with my own bare hands......... Messing with Zaroon Hamdaani only meant for their ultimate death by my hands"

With that said Zaroon slammed his hands hard on the table cracking it from the middle. Everyone took several steps back in fear only Ramish stood beside him and squeezed Zaroon's shoulder in assurance.

"S-sir....." The head manager of control room sucked in a deep breath as Zaroon shot him his best death glare "Continue Mustafa" Ramish ordered softly to which Mustafa took a deep breath to calm himself "Sir as you know, the unknown people are baned from entering the gates, main mansion is way too far and if they are allowed to enter then we do check thrice if needed 5 times before finally letting them inside but if today someone did trespass then it has to be someone well identified"

Ramish nodded and Zaroon's jaw was clenched in anger while his hands were itching to punch something or more particularly someone to punch "Get me a list of people who went out of the mansion after the alarm went on and before i gave off the orders to not let anyone out" Zaroon's booming command echoed in the room as his green eyes were shooting daggers in the tiles.

"Go with Mom and everyone else. Dad is going to be hospitalised, i......." Ramish interrupted him in between "What about you? You very well know Mom needs you more than anyone else right now" Zaroon kept quiet and Ramish sighed. Ramish very well knew how Zaroon's thought process is and right now he must be thinking that he failed at protecting them.

"There is only one person who left before your orders Sir......here it is his identity card's copy" Mustafa passed it to Zaroon and he frowned looking at it as Mustafa continued "He was a nurse and as per your strict orders we checked it thrice their backgrounds. His identity card was real and he was really a nurse"

"Get me this f*cking bastard here" His cold command shook his men's cores and with that he stormed out of the room. Mansion was giving off a eerie feeling as he stepped inside. Everyone must've left for the hospital.

He walked upstairs towards his parents room and for the first time, he felt like crying but keeping his strong facade he quietly sat on the bed staring into nothingness. He didn't uttered a single word just him and his silence was sitting side by side on the bed.

He was always strong or we can say it was the way Yuhaan molded him in a strong powerful weapon to destroy the utter rubbish of royal family but despite everything, both father and son knew, this royalty was the harsh truth of their lives, it was in their blood which they could never refute nor change......ever!

"I am sorry i couldn't protect you the way you did Dad. Please stay strong for Mom" A whisper left his mouth and he kept sitting there in his painful yet regretful trance. Ruhena who was quietly looking at his lonely figure from the doorway kept her presence hidden from him because at this moment she knew he needed to clear his thoughts but still she couldn't let herself to leave him all alone.

She sat on the floor against the wall and closed her eyes as hot tears streamed down her delicate fair cheeks. Both were hurt and were burning in their own world of pain but despite everything there was a solace in their distance from which they unknowingly got closure and a soft whisper of dua left her lips.

"Keep him strong Allah Ta'alla!"

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

Zaroon fell asleep on the bed and Ruhena came down to cook food for everyone after placing the blankets on him properly. Everyone were empty stomach so she decided to make food for everyone. Although she don't know how to cook but she still cooked food with the help of chef.

Just as she was finished with making the food, Ramish walked in "How is he"?/"How is Dad"? Both of them asked in a union and took a deep sigh "Dad is Alhumdulilah in a good health now. His vitals are back to normal and his other ill reports also came out right"

"Shukr Alhumdulilah «Thank You Allah Ta'alla»........" She mumbled a quick thank you to Allah Ta'alla and continued to answer Ramish "He is sleeping right now but he is way too quiet" Ramish nodded in response and looked upstairs "He is just like this from the childhood. He is very sensitive towards family and when i say sensitive then it means he is overprotective towards it and right now he must be blaming himself for this accident"

Ramish sighed for tenth time now brushing his fingers in his hairs in frustration "He just needs time" He mumbled and with a soft smile he took the lunchboxes from the island of the kitchen "Thanks Ruhi for everything"

Ruhena smiled politely and gave him a light punch on the arm "No thanks remember our deal from university times" he embarrassedly scratched his neck and whispered out "Yeah!........I will take my leave now. Take care of my idiot brother and of yourself too" Ruhena nodded and Ramish walked away.

She walked upstairs to check up on him and stopped at the doorway as she saw him sitting on the bed. Maybe he sensed her presence because he turned his face in her direction and the calm sluggish aura vanished from his eyes replaced by pure anger and rage "How......" Her words were stuck down in her throat as she saw him marching towards her with blood shot eyes.

Her wrist was caught in a death grip as he dragged her outside "Where are you taking me? Zaroon?......Are you listening? What......" Her questions were left deaf ear as he harshly dragged her to the innermost area of Mansion.

She stumbled a bit as he dragged her but stopped only infront of a room which looked too dark for her liking. She gulped in fear and unintentionally tightened her hold on his arm "Zaroon......" Her words drifted off in the air as she was harshly pushed inside and she instantly hissed in pain as a door nail pierced her lower side waist and hand.

Despite the pain which shot up in her body, she stopped him closing the door "Please Zaroon why are you doing this?.....please don't leave me here. You know.....i am scared of dark" She begged him in an attempt that maybe his stony heart will melt but today the Zaroon who was standing infront of her was not the same as before.

Her face was tear stricken by now as she stared straight at his face "What is my mistake"? The suffocating feeling came knocking her heart as a heart wrenching sob left her cherry lips asking him the same question she asked on their first night and today after all those lovely moments between them his answer was still the same.

"You are his family that's what wrong you did. He hurted my family, i will hurt his"
