***
He had given her a reason to live after her life ended.
After Zeenat and Kurti Apa successfully removed her from the corridors of Niyamat.
After Sahir Azeem Chaudhary refused to listen to her pleas.
After she attempted suicide by trying to drown herself.
After her Allah had not only revoked her suicide attempt but given her a new life within.
Contrary to any other woman, Arzoo felt nothing but pain at the news of her pregnancy. How would she bring up a fatherless child in this cruel world? She knew the pain of being without a father and there was no way she could even put her enemy through that. Going to her maternal home was absolutely out of question! She couldn't let her mother carry the burden of a married daughter at home. Myrah, Zara, and Dadi's responsibilities were enough to overpower her already frail mother.
So she did what the heartless world taught her do, she wiped her tears, picked herself up and found herself a job at AR Designs, Saiyara's biggest rival, of course they could not be more happier to have their rival company's employee work for them. Within 6 months of working, she raised herself to become their most renowned designer in the company. Being 8 months pregnant and sketching out every show stopper's outfit was something only Arzoo Nausheen Khan was capable of.
Losing all contact with her in-laws, and even her own family. Arzoo felt extremely alone, she owned perhaps one of the biggest houses in the neighborhood, but yet had no one to fill the emptiness in her life. She dealt with everything herself, from having to stay up late due to stomach pains or waking up earlier than normal due to pregnancy sickness to being the only woman unaccompanied by her husband at her yoga class. Allah knows, she stopped herself repeatedly from attempting to call Sahir when she received her sonography pictures. Allah knows how she concealed her pregnancy from him when she wanted nothing more than to have a family with the man she loved so dearly. But everytime she picked up that phone, all that she remembered was his betrayal. The day he learned Zeenat regained consciousness
he left her and ran to Zeenat with open arms. She was just his mistress after all, wasn't she?
In her final month of pregnancy she stayed at home most of the time, except when she was rushed to the hospital after her maid found her unconscious in the morning. That same morning she awoke to the calm hospital setting and to the cry of a beautiful baby boy.

"Allah knows I love you more than my life. I will never let anything ever harm you. Your ammi will always be here as both your mother and father."
She kissed her son on his forehead and lay him down in his cradle where he slept serenely with nothing to worry about.
