Zoya's eyes spilled over with tears of pain, she lifted her hand which he took hold of immediately shhh...don't try and talk, just keep looking at me...I won't let anything happen to you...I promise Zoya, nothing will happen to you' Zoya eyes blurred but she was able to see the panic in his eyes and if she wasn't mistaken it was as if he had shed a few tears himself. Zoya tightened her hold on his hand and slowly started closing her eyes.
Asad jerked her body No Zoya...don't close your eyes...keep looking at me...look at me' he said in a raised voice. Zoya opened her eyes as much as she could and then locked her gaze with his, for some strange reason she felt a sense of peace, like his eyes were the safest place to be. How such beautiful eyes could belong to such a monster, how could someone who can shed tears for someone who was considered no more than an employee be so ruthless?
Zoya felt her lights flash past her as her body jolted from side to side, Asad had Sahil call the hospital and let them know they were on their way and he wanted the best doctor's ready waiting for them.
Zoya was wheeled into the operating theatre straight away leaving Asad, Zack and Sahil standing exasperated. Asad walked up to them I want that bas***d...I want him found and I want him in front of me within the next 48 hours...you understand...I swear if anything happens to her there will be hell to pay Zack' Zack nodded have faith in Allah Bhai, she will be ok...and as for Farhan, you will have him on his hands and feet begging for his life within 48 hours...we promise'.
Zack and Sahil left to begin what they needed to do to fulfil the promise they had just made to Asad.
Asad sat outside the theatre waiting as patiently as he could As he was about to cover his face with his hand he stopped, she saw his hands stained with her blood, he looked down at himself and saw his shirt stained just the same. Asad felt his stomach churn painfully, he felt as if every part of him was going to erupt in anger, in sorrow, in disbelief that she was prepared to have her life taken to save his.
Haider, Humera and Jai came running into the hospital as they were shown where Zoya was they started to walk towards her only to stop midway what the hell is he doing here' Haider said fisting his hands Haider...we can't go any further...if he sees up...more importantly if her recognises you and realises you are related to Zoya, then it's all over' my sister is lying in there fighting for her life...I can't just stand here' he said gritting his teeth I understand that but you don't have a choice Haider...this is what we do, these are the sacrifices we have to make for the greater good...please...don't jeopardise her efforts...she will be ok, I can get Imran to come in as a male nurse, he will keep an eye on her and keep us filled in...please Haider you need to be strong' Jai put his hand over his shoulder she is right Haider...lets go' Haider closed his eyes and let the tears he was holding back escape, not being able to voice anything he just nodded and walked away.
After a long two hours Asad saw the doctor come out, he stood up and walked towards him how is she...is she ok?' The doctor took in a deep breath the operation was successful in that we were able to remove the bullet, she was lucky if It had hit her any lowered it would have been straight through the heart...she has lost a lot of blood, we are calling another blood bank as she is a rare blood group' what group is she?' O negative' Asad's eyes opened wide Doctor I am also O negative...please take my blood take as much as you need...but please just make sure nothing happens to her'.
The doctor smiled at him and placed his hand over his shoulder reassuringly she is a lucky woman to have someone like you to care for her and love her so much...please come with me' Asad stood still as the doctors words echoed in his head, Asad had never felt so vulnerable, someone who would stand up to anything, face anything without even a blink or ounce of fear stood here begging for her life to be saved. She is an employee' he said fisting his hands, the doctor stopped and turned around well Mr Khan, I pray that everyone has someone like you as an employer...lets go'.
Asad rolled up his sleeve and let the nurse stick the needle in his arm taking out the much needed blood that Zoya needed.
Once he had finished he walked back outside to find Najma standing there with Zack Bhaijaan' she said as she ran into his arms is she ok...I can't believe what has happened' she is will be ok Najma, they are transferring her into ICU soon...Zack, what is happening?' We are on to it Bhai, don't worry we will get it sorted...maybe I should take you home, being out in the open like this...it's not good' No, I want to stay until...until I see her, know she is ok'.
Zoya was transferred into the ICU ward, at the same time Imran came in and introduced himself to Asad I will be the nurse in charge of the patient' Asad nodded please wait here as soon as I have the all clear I will call for you'.
Imran walked in and stood by Zoya, she had more tubes coming out of her than he could count, he closed his eyes and took her hand into his you stupid girl...what have you done Zoya...and for who?' Imran took out his phone to call Haider She is out, her condition is stable but nothing more can be said until she regains consciousness...don't worry I will be updating you every hour'.
Imran came out to see Asad, Zack and Najma standing by the door you can go in, but only for a few moments' Najma was the first to walk past him, she saw her lifeless body lying there and couldn't help breaking down. Asad put his arm around her as he tried to control his own spiralling emotions.
I don't think I have ever come across someone so brave, she didn't even think or care...she just jumped in to save you' Zack said. Asad carried on looking at her pale face, the image of her falling in his arms and how she held on to him in the car played back in his head making his whole body go rigid.
Asad called for two of his security officers to come and keep guard outside her room whilst he returned home with Najma.
Najma go and get some rest, I will ask Zack or Sahil to take you back to the hospital in the morning' Bhaijaan, if she is not safe there then why done we have her transferred to out farm house, she can have all the doctors and medical staff she needs there...Bhaijaan these people targeted you...they could easily come back' Asad kissed the top of her head go and get some rest, and leave her and them to me'.
Asad stood in front of the mirror, he looked at his blood stained shirt and grazed his hand over it why...you stood there and took that bullet for me Zoya...why?
It had almost been twelve hours and Zoya still hadn't regained consciousness, Haider and Humera were helpless, they wanted to go to see her but with Asad's men outside and his sister inside it was impossible for them to get anywhere near her.
Imran, what's going on, has the doctor said anything?' She is ok, all her vitals are good, it's just a matter of time before she wakes up...she is getting the best care possible Haider and the girl...his sister she has been by her side since this morning, she is really looking after her as if she was one of her own'.
Najma went to pour herself a glass of water when she saw Zoya stir, she quickly put the jug down and ran up to her Zoya...can you hear me...it's me Najma' Zoya tried to open her eyes but the bright lights blinded her vision, she groaned in pain as her whole body started to wake up with her.
As...Asad...' She mumbled Zoya...its Najma, Bhaijaan is not here...one minute'. Najma ran out to call the doctor, who was at Zoya's bedside with his team within seconds'. At the same time Imran called her brother to let him know that she was finally awake.
...Bhaijaan, the first thing she said was Asad...she was calling for you...' Asad sucked in a breath as he heard her sister talk in happiness and cry at the same time Najma, stay with her, I will be there soon'.
Asad walked in with Zack to see Najma holding on to her hand making her laugh about something. As they walked in Zoya looked up and met his eyes, for some unknown reason she felt her heat pick up pace. Zack stepped forward and sat next her hope that stunt wasn't for a gold medal' Zoya smiled at him I was aiming for the diamond studded one actually' Zack let out a chuckle and then placed his hand over her head you know how crazy you are, you really did give us a fright...Zoya why...' Zoya didn't let him finish his question if I didn't then it would have been As...I mean Mr Khan lying here...it is what I am here to do isn't it, protect and serve...if I had to do it all over again I would without any hesitations'.
Asad felt his heart take a dip as he heard what she said and Zack just sat there dumbfounded you know it's a shame my parents died when they did...cause I sure would have loved to have a sister like you?' Zoya looked at him intently, something inside her moved and without realising what she was saying or doing she held out her hand to him a sister doesn't have to be blood related Zack...form today onwards I am your sister...that is if you will accept me as one'. Zack grabbed her hand in and instant, caressing it softly he lifted it up and kissed the back of her it form this day onwards Zoya you are my sister, my little Baji' Zoya smiled as involuntary tears rolled down the side of her face.
Asad felt his lips curve up into a smile and as soon as he realised he let it drop again. He took a step forward h...how are you feeling now?' like I have just been shot' she said making Najma and Zack burst out laughing, Zoya continued to look at him as she smiled he mirrored her, that was the first time she had ever seen him smile so much and so freely.
Asad had a long discussion with the doctor, after much reluctance he finally agreed to let Zoya be shifted to his personal farm house. He assigned a nurse to stay with her around the clock and for a doctor to visit every day seeing she has just regained consciousness I would like to keep her in until tomorrow morning' Asad agreed, he walked back inside and spoke to Zack, I want you to transfer two maids to the farm house and take in all the medical equipment the doctor tells you to...and I want it all done by tomorrow morning' no worries Bhai, am on it right now'.
Zoya looked at them as they spoke not understanding what they were talking about, as she continued to look at them her eyes caught someone looking at her through the window. As soon as she saw him she let out a gasp, opening her eyes wide she quickly covered her mouth. Zoya...what happened?' Asad quickly said stepping towards her. Zoya closed her eyes and mentally kicked herself oh...nothing, just felt a little pain that's all' Asad looked at Najma call the doctor now' no...its ok...seriously I don't need the doctor'. At the same time the two eyes that had been starring at her came in through the door.
Just in time, nurse, Zoya complained of being in pain, can you please give her something?' Imran looked at Zack and smiled of course...maybe you should let her rest' Zack nodded and left with Najma and Zack.
As soon as the coast was clear Imran walked up to her and gave her a hug what are you doing here?' Imran started laughing didn't you know I am the new head nurse...actually Haider and Humera have been going crazy and this was the only way they would know that you are safe and well' Zoya felt tears prick her eyes how are they?' Going mad...hunting for Farhan so they can kill him with their bare hands...Zoya why...and for who did you not think?' Zoya closed her eyes as she took in a deep breath.
I don't know why...maybe because this is what we have been trained to do...I know it would have been easier to let him take the bullet and that would have been the end of the assignment...mission accomplished...but something inside me just snapped and before I knew I was hit...Imran I need you guys to trust me on this one, I have never failed before and I don't intend to on failing now...there is a lot more going on with these people that meets the eye...the one good thing that has come out of this is that Asad Ahmed Khan will have declared open war with Sikander Rao...and the minute they all come out of their hidings we can grab them, lock them up and throw away the keys'
Imran was about to take out his phone to call Haider, he wanted to talk to Zoya but was interrupted by the doctor who had come in to examine her.
Zoya looked at Imran no knowing what to say, the doctor had informed her that she would be moving to the Asad's farm house and be treated from there Doctor...is that wise, I mean considering the severity of her injury...' Imran tried to convince him otherwise I have taken that into consideration, I will have a nurse deployed who will stay with Zoya at all times and a doctor who will be going to see her once a day' where is this place?' the doctor started laughing no one knows, this is Asad Ahmed Khan's place you are talking about, he will be arranging a pick up and drop off for the doctor...ok young lady is there anything I can give you for the pain?' Zoya just about managed to nod.
Haider will go mental, you can't go Zoya...I need to put a stop to this' Imran said as he walked the length of her room Imran will you just stop for a second...I will be fine...I promise you...if you tell Haider now he will pull me out and all this will have...look like I said before please trust me on this one' Imran threw his hand up in the air fine' but if your brother starts having a fit I am putting you on the firing line...again!' Zoya winked at him as he walked out more worried than he had come in.
Haider barged into Colonel's room I want Zoya pulled out now...I want you to sign this' Colonel pushed his chair back and walked around the table you know I can't do that' yes you can...you run this place, you call the shots so sign it' he said with anger Haider...I am not prepared to do that' Colonel how can you say that...do you even know where she is, what happened...don't you care?' Colonel turned around to face him I know exactly where she and why ...and I care more that you know...but I won't pull her out...and I know if you had the power you wouldn't either, this is Zoya we are talking about...have you forgotten who she is, what she is...Haider she is the best female officer this agency has ever seen, she is more courageous, more determined and more intelligent than half of this unit put together...if I pull her out she will see herself as some who has failed and I am not prepared to do that. Zoya went in with a purpose, a mission and she will not come out until she accomplishes it...and you stop mixing up your emotions...and next time you come barging in here make sure you keep your tone in check...now get out before I clip you over the head' Haider looked away trying to supress his laughter fine...I'm sorry...but I still don't like it' nor do I Haider, she is a daughter, a sister to everyone here...she will be ok' Colonel put his arm around his shoulder and reassured him now go...we are soon going to have a blood bath on our hands I want every agent deployed and in action' yes sir'.
