They were waiting outside the intensive care unit as Daniel's words kept repeating at back if his mind.Charlie was seated as it was almost right hours since Daniel's operation started. The bullet hit in his chest as that was a critical situation.

"How can he do this?" Abaan muttered to himself as Charlie could see the glint of tears in his eyes. They were best friends. They loved each other alot but fate separated them but when they were getting united again fate again played the cruel game. Abaan was drowning in guilt as he didn't even ask him once why he did that to him that night. Like he suffered, Daniel also did but he couldn't ask that. Daniel suffered because of him as his father was all behind this. If he wouldn't be his friend then nothing would happen. Everyone would be happy. Through Abaan Junaid get the way towards Daniel's happy family to ruin their happiness in just one flip. His pain was getting increase as when Junaid shot his target was Abaan as he was talking to Charlie. But when Daniel saw him pointing the gun nozzle towards Abaan he came in front of Abaan. He sacrificed his life for Abaan and he was thinking he was his enemy. He was so drowned in guilt that he didn't even call Fatima. He knew she was was saved but he didn't want to talk to anyone at that time.

"It's all because of me right." Abaan said as he fisted his hairs in his hands.

"It's not yours, it's Junaid." Charlie said, he k ew he was going through the pain.

"I am his son and it's my fault " Abaan said nodding his head in no. Charlie was about to say something when the doctor came from inside. They both stood up abruptly.

"The bullet was an inch away from his heart. His condition wasn't good but he is out of danger now. Soon he will be shifted in the room." The doctor said in his professional tone and walked away. They both hugged each other as soon Daniel was shifted in the room.

He entered the room to find him half conscious as he smiled at both if them. 

"No one came for me. I thought there would be girls crying their eyes out." Daniel said as he tried to sit up in the bed. Charlie helped him in that as he scoffed at his sentence.

"Yes the girls came but they selected me instead of you after seeing my charms. So you have to work hard to regain the collection of girls." Charlie said as he glared. Daniel was famous as the playboy of the business world. He wasn't but he didn't rejected girl's offer too.  So, he took the playboy tag as a compliment.

"I would tell Sumaiya about it." Daniel said as Charlie glared at him. Then Daniel looked at Abaan who was staring at him with deadly cold eyes. Charlie knew what was coming that's why he went out of the room to give them privacy.

"Wanna hug me." Daniel raised his hands with a mischievous smile as Abaan also smiled and walked towards him. They both knew they were wrong and they both decided to forget every bitter thing happened in their life.

"Ah!" Daniel groaned as Abaan's hard punch landed on his jaw. 

"You think a hero of you. What would you do if something happened to you. You still have your grandfather left waiting for you..."

" I have many girls too waiting for me." Abaan was saying as Daniel corrected him earning a glare from him.

"I am not worried about you but my wife. Fatima would kill me if she get to know you died because of me." Abaan said sitting on the chair beside his chair.

"Ah! My cute little sister keeps you on a straight path." Daniel said.

" I am sorry." After few minutes of silence Daniel spoke up. 

"I am sorry." Abaan said in the same tone. " Because of me you lost your loved ones. I shouldn't be your friend in the first place knowing how much my fucking father was against yours. " Abaan said in his hoarse voice.

" If it wouldn't be your father then how could I meet a friend like you. He planned all this and I think he did right to make you my friend. Now we can kill him together." Daniel said as he knew Abaan had no emotional attachment with Junaid. He could kill him if he wanted to.

"I have killed him on the spot. He is dead." Abaan said in a stem voice.

" WHAT?" Daniel sat up. " You killed him without me. I wanted to shoot him right in the skull. You bloody idiot. I would tell Fatima about all of your girlfriends in school." Daniel almost shrieked as Abaan glared at him.

"He was my father that's why I killed him in a decent manner. And you were planning to die. So why should I keep him alive for you. I thought you would take care of him perfectly above the skies." Abaan said as he stood up and came near him.

"You already decided I would be dead. Such a great friend." Daniel scoffed as Abaan took him in hug by grabbing him from his hairs, their rare way of showing love for each other. Daniel hugged him back as it felt like they were running for a long time but now there destination was approached.

"FUCK! My poor Fatima. I didn't know you guys were gay." Hamza said as he closed his eyes seeing them when Charlie pushed him as he was blocking his way. They both separated from each other as seeing Hamza first thought came in his mind was of Fatima. 

"How is she?" Abaan asked him.

"She isn't alright. I told him Daniel is fine now but she saw blood and all that stuff first time. She wants you." Hamza said as he tried to call her.

" She won't attend. She is upset with you as I told her you didn't mind killing Eliff. Such a kindhearted girl don't deserve a mafia king." Gamza said as they all glared at him on the last sentence. He mumbled a small sorry as Abaan was looking worried.

"Don't worry I would be discharged tomorrow. You can go. She needs you." Daniel said.

" No we would go together tomorrow. Seeing all of you she would feel better." Abaan said in a thoughtful manner.

" In other words you want us to save you from your wife's wrath." Hamza said taking a bite of the apple as everyone laughed.
