I know i am late and very very late so a big sorry for that*holds my ears*.i know you don't want me to say sorry but i feel really bad for being so late but i was busy with the party at home and i wanted a good uninterruped hour to peacefully comment so here i am😃

No worries Anushree...You know what I will say😃

I read the update just after waking up and yes it made my day but it was so emotional i was afraid i start crying on my dining table itselfbut what an update di👏this has to be one of the most emotional updates that you have written till now

aww...sorry. Looks like a lot of people cried with this one😭

Well we all knew it was ayaan at the door so no surprises😆but what a fight di saari bhadas nikaal di show ki yahan pe...chalo atleast aapko apna bro clash mila nahi to aapne khud hi apni story mein epic bro clash karwa diya😆what is better than the two trying to kill each other.

FFs are the best way to get over your bhadaas😆

Good to see zoya trying to be a hero even with a cast on her hand.I remembered when zoya chased dilshad's shooter.

Ayaan pointed the gun at zoya😲could he have really killed her?How can he be so insensitive and jerk to the woman who has been a mother to his son for so long?Ayaan continues to disappoint me big time😕he called her a wh**e😡can i kill him?How can a man ever justify addressing a woman like that🤢

Oh so i see Mr.Khan finally turning into a sher when his woman was insulted.I want to hug for this di finally we see asad in action trying to protect his lady's honour😃

I knew it i knew it that dilshad would be the one to handle ayaan and take care of the situation and i was right😃I am so glad that he slapped ayaan and told him that he can never ever become like his bhaijaan,the guy needs to be told the truth.I loved Dilshad's sherni momaa wali dahaad and the speech after she slapped ayaan👏she made ayaan realize how much asad and zoya have done for him and all he ahs done in return is insult them😡

You didn't let Dilshad disappoint me here and i am so happy for this.And finally someone knocked some sense into the idiot ayaan,you must be so happy hai na di?

I want such scenes on the show too...Dilshaad the lioness and Asad the tiger

A tremulous Ayaan stood up and lowered his head, "I-I will do anything for you bhaijaan. You have always been my idol. Is se zyaada meri kya khush kismati ho sakti hai ki main aapke kaam aa paaun?"

Wow these lines show how much he has been neglected as a child and how much he had carved for his father's love that all he wants is to be like asad.It is at times like these that i feel bad for the guy

"And another thing Ayaan!" Asad replied firmly, "I want you to apologize to Zoya. Mere khoon ke daman mein tho pehle se hi bahut daag hain, lekin agar koi meri mohabbat ke daman par daag lagaayega, tho main us insaan ko kabhie maaf nahin kar sakta, chaahe wo mera chota bhai hi kyun na ho!"

Zoya glanced at Asad with a tearful smile. Ayaan had humiliated her womanhood and her love for Asad; she was grateful to Asad for prioritizing her feelings over his brother's.

Can i just say that i love you for this.I can't really explain how much i love your asad for standing up for his lady's honor and respect and glad he made it clear that he won't put with anyone dishonouring zoya be it his younger brother.And i am so glad to see asad prioritizing zoya over ayaan.When the hell will see thsi in Qh?😡

I am glad that ayaan apologized and he agreed to help asad find the main culprits.

You showed asyaan hugging😲I thought you hated when they hugged😆

But did you notice that asad was half hearted in his hug😉

I love the song"awaarapan banjaarapan"😳

Ayaan can't trust anyone can he?The effect of not being loved by anyone throughout his life and being surrounded either by foolish,selfless people or criminals

Just when i thought ayaan was actually willing to make up for his mistakes he decided to run away like a coward.Like father like son😕well i guess you hate ayaan a little too much to just redeem him so quickly don't you?But i expected this you wouldn't just let ayaan off the hook so easily.

Ayaan is unpredictable...is all I'll say😉

Shireen is such a selfish person,her husband is lying on the death bed and she wants to just run away😕I hate shireen here.In the show she atleast loves Rashid

good that asad is acting smartly and is getting ayaan followed.I guess we are heading for a bigger bro clash now when asad will catch ayaan betraying him.

"Baat panaah ki nahin hai ammi. You did the right thing but I wish you had discussed this with me. Not lied to me. Bachpan se ab tak yahi tho sunte aa rahe hain aapse ki aapko jhooth se kitni nafrat hai? Kya Rashid sahib ko dekhkar aap apne usoolon ko bhool gayi?"

👏Way to go asad.I am glad he made it clear to Dilshad that he wasn't hurt by the fact she abetted a criminal but because she lied to him.I just wish people would stop lying to each other and start communicatind,aadhi se zyada problems hi khatam ho jayengi but i guess love does makes you do all kinds of silly things.i loved the way zoya supported Dilshad😳I miss zoya dilshad bonding so much.

i am so happy that asad finally decided to meet Rashid and that too on his own.

At that moment, he was not a criminal, but a man who had made the wrong choices in life and instead of fighting against his failures, had surrendered to them in the name of destiny.

Beautiful lines di..I shiver just at the thought of having to see a dear one of yours like that...I couldn't imagine what asad and others would have gone through seeing rashid like thatRashid asad encouter was just so beautiful di...I loved how you showed asad's hesistance and then zoya helping him through that.

"Asad beta." Rashid's hand touched Asad's finger.

"Abbu." Asad couldn't hold his tears as he grabbed his father's hand and cried silently.

Najma ran over and hugged her father also.

Rashid placed his arm around his daughter, "meri choti si tamatar kitni badhi ho gayi hai."

I had tears in my eyes while reading these lines😭No matter how much your parent has hurt you or how he had abandoned you,you always crave for them and you always end up forgiving them all you need is one little gesture of love showing that he cares😃

He didn't want to place his son in a moral dilemma. Just then, he felt Rashid's hand go limp in his palms.

I guess Rashid gave asad the greatest gift that a father could have given to his son.He released him of the dilemma that asad would have had to face had rashid been alive.

Rashid had bid farewell to them forever. His soul had waited to reunite with his beloved family. They were all there; their eyes filled with tears, they had all forgiven him for is sins. Even though he felt he never deserved them, he held onto them till his last breath. For him deliverance was a loving glance from Dilshaad, a hug from his daughter and a tear in his son's eyes...

😭

Beautiful lines di so so beautiful.I feel so bad for rashid but i guess he left this world a content man.I never thought you will kill off Rashidi thought that since you love dilshad and Rashid so much that they would probably unite at the end of your story but I am happy(not that i am sadist) but i guess Rashid deserved this he paid for his mistakes but you didn't let him leave empty handed as you said he left a content man after finally having received a loving glance from Dilshaad, a hug from his daughter and a tear in his son's eyes...

That was the best end for Rashid IMO. Even if the law had forgiven him, for him forgiveness from his family was more important

I salute you di for giving us such a beautiful scene..

P.S.-I love you...

i know i have said this many times before too but you never fail to amaze me..You are a wonderful writer di and i love how fair and true you have been to your characters👏👏

Loads of hugs and kisses and sorry for being so late

love you too...you know we are all one big family on this forum. Despite the currebt track, we are still here...just because of each other

Love you love you love you❤️

P.P.S.-Did i make up for being late with this extra long comment😳

loved it👏

hey dear,

Sorry I couldn't comment on the last two chaps actually I am out of town & accessing my account on cell is really hard so couldn't comment despite reading them just as you posted.

no problem dear...

Firstly a v hearty congratulations for the new thread. this story & you deserve many more threads filled with lots of appreciation & love for you because you take out time for us & upload this ff regularly.

thanks to all the readers..

Now chap 41:

I really am glad that Zoe's little wishes hold so much importance for Asad that he fulfilled it immediately by shaving. I understood the fear that Dilshad felt. after losing her own love at the hands of another woman, she v well knows that her son will be devastated even more if he goes through this route, as he has already suffered a lot of pain & troubles since early childhood.

The Bombay Art house part was driving me crazy, I was so edgy, like I was inside the art house & someone was spying on me. I know Zoe was scared of the outcome if someone caught them not for her but for Mr. Khan. I'm glad she managed well with Ayaan though at her lie, my heart sunk, I felt as if they were getting trapped.

So, Imran's chap cums to an end here.

I loved the emotional yet determined side of Zoe in this line:

"Mr. Khan, aap chaahe jo bhi kahein, I am not leaving the premises without you. Agar hum pakde gaye tho saath pakde jaayenge, maare jaayenge tho bhi saath maare jaayenge."

I must really appreciate Zoe's logical thinking & guess work for correctly making out the password. well, it would be an understatement if I say I was shocked on reading the password. 😲

Rashid has really been through a lot, even if it was because of the wrong choices he made, but still his love & loyalty for his first family remained unchanged.

it was my lame attempt at a thriler😆thanks for appreciating it

Asad was right in saying that:

"ek sher ko sirf sherni hi bacha sakti hai. I am proud of you Zoya."

he knew Zoya wouldn't leave him trapped at any cost.

now to the surprise part. well it was beautiful indeed to see the two getting engaged in front of Dilshad & Tamatar. After a long time we had the best friends interactions, hopefully there'll be more from now on.

Okay now the intruder at door would be Ayaan, I knew it. really because no body other than him would suspect AK or Zoya.

Chap 42:

lets being with the end. I am not lying, I really am shaken after reading the family reunion at hospital & Rashid's last breath. tears refusing to stop, I am forced to think about what life really is? A compromise? we are bound to go through it making choices but in reality aren't they already been made for us? we're just following our destiny.

Rashid's character has been weak all through because of the wrong choices he made, or was forced to make. he compromised for his family, followed on a path of self destruction but then he kept hanging to the last thread of his life till he met his real family.

I am so glad that Asad decided to meet him, otherwise he would have been guilty. the scene was so emotional.

Rashid's parting advice to his son sums it up...fight for what is right and don't surrender yourself to failures in the name of destiny

Now to the start. Asad-Ayaan-Dilshad:

I wasn't happy too when Dilshad disclosed about Asad's identity but it was needed. I am glad all was sorted out well between the brothers but I hate Ayaan for disgracing Zoe's love for Asad. but am happy that Asad stood up for his love.

I am not really sure about Ayaan's sudden fleeing. I mean has he gone to leave humi-farhaan or left himself. I hope he keeps up his promise. well this was an impulsive act from him again of leaving behind his mom like this.

all i'll say is ayaan is unpredictable...let's wait and see

waiting for the next part eagerly to see how the Khans deal with Rashid's death.

yes, another emotional one on the way😭

Lots of love.

I loved Tumhari Amanat with AK in the lead coz it suited their characters but I can't see asya being separated for so long. Don't think that I didn't like the idea but then with zoyaan and jannu already going on, I can handle so much pain between them. I think others also feel the same. What say?

Originally posted by: yashasvi_88

Di jst a suggestion that if you want to rewrite one of your previous ffs for asya then please rewrite the AR ff PEHCHAN. I love that story and i think that the ongoing track and the basic story of QH is very similar to it. I would love to see zoya in ridhima's role and asad supporting her against ayaan. Please rewrite it as an asya ff if u can. Also please try to complete 'It had to be you'. I am desperate to know what happened in the end. please

PART 43: A heavy dose of emotions today...

"I am sorry Mrs. Khan. We tried our best."

Dilshaad sobbed silently. "Thanks doctor."

Asad stared vacantly into space. Najma walked over to comfort her ammi. With tears in her eyes, Zoya reached out and held Asad's hand. He squeezed her palm with his fingers and burst into tears; silently thanking her for reconciling those severed relations with his abbu. Zoya glanced at Asad and then at Rashid. She was indebted to the man who had become her father figure during the most challenging five years of her life. The man, who had not only shielded her from the big bad world outside the Art house, but also from the deepest and darkest secrets within the Art house. It was an irony that the day she had gotten engaged was the day he bid goodbye to the world. He was no longer the caretaker to his son's amaanat.'

"Excuse me, can I request you all to wait outside?" The doctor asked, "we need to gather some information for the death certificate. Aap log family room mein wait kar sakte hain."

"Shukriya doctor sahib." Asad composed himself and placed his arms around his sister and mother, "chaliye ammi."

FAMILY WAITING ROOM:

The four of them sat in silence for sometime, each grieved for the deceased man in their own way.

"Mr. Khan, main Ayaan ko khabar kar deti hoon." Zoya finally broke the silence.

"Haan," Asad nodded, "Ayaan needs to be here for the last rites. Mujh se zyaada," Asad's voice cracked, "uska haq hai abbu par."

Dilshaad gazed at Asad with a heavy heart and then requested Zoya, "Zoya, please Shireen ko bhi khabar kar do. Unka bhi haq hai."

"Jee phoophi." Zoya touched Dilshaad's shoulder; aware of her agony at that moment.

Zoya tried to call Ayaan and Humeira's phone several times but was unable to reach them, "Ayaan kahan hoga? Phone kyun nahin utha raha? Humeira is also not available."

Finally, she sent a text message to Ayaan: RASHID UNCLE NO MORE. PLEASE COME TO THE HOSPITAL ASAP.

"Shireen auntie?" She was finally able to reach her, "main-main Zoya---hospital se-----jee----wo----Rashid uncle------aap yahan aa jaaiye-----aur Ayaan ko bhi le aayie."

ABOARD A SHIP IN THE ARABIAN SEA: A FEW MILES FROM MUMBAI COAST

A weak mobile signal enabled the text message to go through. Standing at the deck, under the partly cloudy moon lit sky, his hair disheveled, eyes red, tears flowed down his cheeks.

"I-I am sorry abbu. Main aapko aakhiri alvida bhi nahin keh sakaa." Ayaan grabbed the railing with his fists, clenching hard till his knuckles turned purple. Then he threw his phone into the sea so no one could track his location.

FAMILY WAITING ROOM

A loud hysterical scream interrupted their silence in the waiting room.

"RASHID! MERA RASHID! KYA HO GAYA YEH? KAISE HO GAYA YEH? KISNE KAR DIYA AISA?" A frantic Shireen floundered her way in.

She was shocked to see Dilshaad and her family in the waiting room, "aap sab? Aap log yahan kaise aaye? Kaun laaya aapko yahan? Aap logon ki wajah se hi mere Rashid ne apni jaan ganwaa di."

"Shireen auntie!" Zoya held Shireen by the elbow, "aap yeh kya keh rahi hain? In logon ka haq hai. Please calm down Shireen auntie. "

An angry Asad glared at Shireen, "Ayaan kahan hai?"

"Mujhey kya pata?" Shireen yelled, "wo mujhey kuch bataakar kahan jaata hai."

An agitated Asad walked out of the waiting room and made a phone call, "please seal all the exits-airports, sea ports, buses, trains. Make sure this man doesn't escape from Mumbai." He kicked himself for trusting Ayaan but was hopeful that he would return on receiving Zoya's text message.

Back in the waiting room, Shireen continued to spew venom at Dilshaad. A stoic but resolute Dilshaad just sat there in silence.

Emotionally charged, Shireen divulged more than she ever had.

"Meri khushiyon par aapki hamesha buri nazar rahi hai tabhie tho Rashid ko kabhie apna na banaa saki. Rehte mere saath the lekin dil-o-dimaag par sirf aap thi Dilshaad! Kyun kiya aapne aisa? Mere shauhar ko kabhie mera na hone diya. Tabhie tho waqt se pehle unka intekaal ho gaya."

Asad, Najma and Zoya watched in stunned silence with a disgusted expression.

Finally, Dilshaad's patience gave way to her hidden angst, "Shireen, jis rishte ki buniyaad zabardasti ya saazish ho, us rishte ki deewarein kabhie na kabhie waqt se pehle gir hi jaati hain. Kaash tumne Rashid ke saath mohabbat ka rishta joda hota, kam se kam wo waqt se pehle aise tadap tadap ke jaate tho nahin. Mujhey afsos nahin hai ki maine Rashid ko kho diya tha, afsos yeh hai ki unhone 22 saal bilkul tanhaa aur pareshani mein guzaare. Mujh par ungli uthaane se pehle, apne girahbaan mein bhi jhaank lo Shireen."

Shireen was taken aback by Dilshaad's response, "aap jaanti hai aap kya keh rahi hain? App keh rahi hain ki saari galti meri hai?"

"Ayaan ko bhej do ab Shireen. Main jaanti hoon wo apne abbu se bahut mohabbat karta hai. Beta hone ke naate usey yahan hona chaahiye. He needs to do the last rites for his father." Dilshaad spoke firmly, ignoring Shireen's baseless accusations.

Shireen recalled Ayaan's parting words to her- ammi kisi ko na bataana main jaa raha hoon.

"AYAAN KA YAHAN HONA ZAROORI NAHIN HAI!" Shireen replied.

The four of them glared at Shireen with an incredulous expression.

"Shireen auntie," Zoya tried to reason with her calmly, "please Ayaan kahan hai? Ayaan ke bina Rashid uncle ko hum kaise alvida keh sakte hain? Wo unka beta hai."

"WO UNKA BETA NAHIN HAI! SIRF MERA BETA HAI! RASHID SE THO SIRF MERA NIKAAH HUA THA!"

Even though there was pin drop silence in the waiting room, Shireen's words worked like a bomb explosion. Asad, Zoya, Dilshaad and Najma were shell shocked. Dilshaad just felt her heart fragment into a million shards. 22 years, she had lived with the biggest lie of their lives. Why did Rashid do that to her? Why didn't he reveal the truth? What forced him to remain silent? Why didn't he fight for them? Why didn't she fight for them? Why didn't she trust her love? Why did she believe what the world said to her?

Asad clenched fists; his jaws tightened. If Shireen were not an older woman, he would have kicked her out of that waiting room. He saw the wounded expression on his ammi's face.

"Abbu ka janazah main le jaaunga ammi. That is my responsibility." Asad placed an arm around Dilshaad and consoled her. Dilshaad broke down in her Asad's arms. Years of pain, remorse, anger, guilt and heartbreak melted in her son's arms.

"Main Karan ko phone karti hoon. Bhaijaan, he will go with you." Najma swallowed her anger and dialed his number.

Zoya was livid but kept her composure. Why didn't Rashid uncle tell her the truth? Did Ayaan know? That explained why Ayaan could never be the son Rashid uncle craved for.

LATER: AT ASAD'S HOUSE

Dilshaad, Zoya and Najma prayed and recited the namaaz at home while Asad, Karan and some of his Navy buddies helped with the last rites and burial procedure. They all stayed up that night, immersing themselves in prayer and spiritual guidance.

Asad and Karan returned the next morning.

Zoya noticed the distraught expression on Asad's face. Even though a burden had lifted from his shoulders, his stooped shoulders were a sign of the guilt and remorse after learning the truth. She accompanied him to his room and helped prep the shower for him. As he sat on his bed with a crestfallen expression, Zoya placed his towel, white kurta pajama on the bed and sat next to him, "Mr. Khan, are you okay?" She placed her left palm on his shoulder.

Asad grabbed her hand and nodded, "Zoya, I never knew it would be so difficult. Mujhey aaj ehsaas hua ki main apne abbu se kitni mohabbat karta tha. It was really hard to see him go. Aisa kyun hua hamare saath? Kaash maine unse itni nafrat na ki hoti."

"Mr. Khan, hum nafrat bhi tho unse karte hain jinhein sabse zyaada chaahte hain. I am sure Rashid uncle's soul is resting in peace after he knows you have all forgiven him. Unki dua aapke saath hamesha rahegi Mr. Khan. He never stopped loving and caring for you. Please don't feel guilty."

"Zoya," Asad glanced at her with teary eyes, "thanks-thanks for giving me my abbu back. Agar tum na hoti tho---"

She placed her finger on his lips, "aur agar mere abbu ne yeh sab na kiya hota tho shayad------"

"Aur agar ammi ne tumhari tarah sirf apni mohabbat par yakeen kiya hota tho------" He lamented, interrupting her in mid sentence.

"Please don't blame phoophi."

"Zoya, let's promise that we will never repeat the mistakes of our parents. Hum kabhie ek doosre ke beech mein kisi aur ko nahin aane denge. No matter what, we will always trust each other. Hamare beech koi bhi faasla hum dono ke yakeen aur mohabbat se badha nahin hoga."

"Promise Mr. Khan."

"Can I request something?"

"Jee?"

"Please stay here today. I need you."

Zoya had a faint smile on her face, "Mr. Khan, maine aap se kaha hai na, aap mujhey jaante zaroor hain lekin theek se abhi pehchaante nahin hain. Meri zimmedari mere usoolon se kahin zyaada ehmiyat rakhti hai. Right now, you all are my family and my responsibility. Of course, I will not leave. Ab aap shower kar leejiye. I will be down stairs."

"Thanks Zoya." He smiled tearfully.

Zoya stepped out of his room and made a phone call.

"Zeenat aapi? Main Zoya."

"Ya Allah! Shukr hai tujhey apni aapi ki yaad tho aayi. Kaisi hai tu? Abhi tho Istanbul mein raat ho rahi hai. Kaise phone kiya? Sab khairiyat tho hai?"

"Main theek hoon aapi. Can I speak with abbu?"

"Abbu? Itni raat ko?"

"Yes aapi, I really need to talk to him."

"Theek hai. I am sure he will be happy to hear your voice. Bahut yaad karte hain wo tujhey."

"Agar yaad karte hain," Zoya's voice cracked, "tho phir kabhie milne kyun nahin aate? "

"I am sorry Zoya. Tu tho jaanti hai na abbu ko."

"I am sorry aapi. Agar abbu sach much mujhey miss karte hain, then he needs to show it with his actions. I-I-anyways, I need to talk to him." Zoya almost broke down on the phone. Zeenat could sense her little sister was very upset about something.

Zeenat woke Ghafoor and handed the phone to him, "abbu, Zoya ka phone hai Mumbai se."

"ZOYA KA?" Ghafoor jumped out of bed, enthralled that his favorite daughter had called him after so long.

"Salaam Alaikum abbu." Zoya had calmed down by then.

"Walaikum Salaam beti. Kaisi ho? Aankh taras gayi hai tujhey dekhe bina."

Zoya felt a lump in her throat; she shut her eyes and paused for a few seconds. Even after all these years, her angst against her father vanished for a few seconds. She gathered herself, "abbu, Rashid uncle passed away."

"KYA? RASHID? KAB? KAISE?"

"Kal raat ko. Hospital mein. He was very sick."

"Ya Allah! He was a very healthy man. Usey kya hua tha?"

"Unhein wo bimaari thi jo sirf ek dost de sakta tha. It's called heartbreak abbu."

There was silence on the line. Ghafoor lowered his eyes and then spoke softly, "jaanta hoon Zoya. Hum bhi bahut pashemaan hain. I feel so guilty. That's why I have not had the courage to visit Mumbai. I don't know what to do beti."

"Rashid uncle tho nahin rahe abbu lekin Dilshaad phoophi se maafi zaroor maang sakte hain aap. You owe that much to her and her family."

"Zoya beti. Aur tum? Kya tum mujhey kabhie maaf kar sakti ho?"

"Abbu, I am a part of Dilshaad phoophi's family."

"I will come beta. I will definitely come to Mumbai. How's Asad?"

Zoya was taken aback by his question, "abbu, aapko kaise pata? I mean-how do you know he is back?"

Ghafoor remained silent, "Allah Asad ko hamesha salaamat rakhe beta. Allah Hafiz beta." He hung up.

"Allah Hafiz abbu!" She stared at the phone, dazed by the conversation with her father.

"Zoya?" Dilshaad had overheard her conversation. She touched her shoulder and pulled her into an embrace, "you are a very brave girl. Yakeen nahin hota jis insaan ne apni nafrat se itne faasle khade kar diye the, usi ki beti ne mohabbat se wo saare faasle door kar diye hain." She kissed her forehead and held her in a close embrace.

Asad walked out of his room and noticed the two women, comforting each other.

He placed his arms around them and kissed their foreheads, "kis ka phone tha?"

"Zoya apne abbu se baat kar rahi thi. Wo ab Istanbul mein rehte hain."

"Oh!" Asad stiffened a bit. His anger towards Ghafoor Siddiqui had grown significantly since Shireen's revelation.

"Mr. Khan," Zoya stared absent-mindedly, "how does abbu know you are alive?"

We need to find that Istanbul connection

Asad recalled his chief's words from that day. He had just landed in Mumbai but he distinctly remembered the echo of the words- The Istanbul Connection.'

A FEW DAYS LATER: IN A REMOTE ISLAND NEAR DUBAI

"Ayaan, tum yahan aa tho gaye ho, lekin tum mere liye ek bahut badhi security risk ho!" Razia reprimanded her son in law.

"Ammi, I am sorry. I had no place to go. Humeira aur Farhan ko lekar kahan kahan chupta rehta?" Ayaan fell on her feet, "please let us stay here. Promise, no one will be able to track us down here. I have severed all ties with Mumbai."

"Theek hai Ayaan. Lekin wahan jo saare documents un logon ke haath lag gaye hain? How will we stop them?"

"Ammi, don't worry. They will never be able to track this location down. They know there is a Dubai connection but this place is secure. Abbu's documents never revealed your location. I am sure they will try to track us, but trust me, wo yahan tak nahin pahunch paayenge. We just need to remain underground for sometime."

"Mera kitna nuksaan hua hai, jaante ho? Yeh sab tumhari laaparwaahi ki wajah se hua hai. Humeira aur Farhan ki wajah se main tumhein panaah de rahi hoon but you have to prove your loyalty towards me."

"Jo aap kahengi ammi, main karne ko tayyar hoon." Ayaan pleaded.

"Mujhey wo mohra chaahiye jis se main Ghafoor Siddiqui aur us Navy ke commander ka mooh hamesha hamesha ke liye bandh kar sakoon."

"Kaun?" Ayaan asked.

"ZOYA! I WANT ZOYA! ALIVE OR DEAD! AND I WANT YOU TO SPEARHEAD THIS MISSION. IF YOU SUCCEED, I WILL LET YOU STAY HERE FOR AS LONG AS YOU WANT. IF NOT, YOU WILL BE A DEAD MAN AND NEVER BE ABLE TO SEE HUMEIRA OR FARHAN AGAIN! JAB TAK TUM MERA KAAM NAHIN KARTE, YOU CAN'T SEE HUMEIRA OR FARHAN! SAMJHEY?"

...To be contd...
