She was helping with her mother in the kitchen when her phone started ringing. She knew it must someone from the mansion as she attended the call followed by the voice of Sumaiya. Hearing what she said surprised her as she ran to her father for the permission.

"Dad I want to go back?" Fatima said as she entered his room.

" I have already decided that you won't..." Her father was saying.

" No it's urgent. Aima has gain consciousness." Fatima said as there were tears in her eyes due to happiness. Her father looked at her for sometime then sighed.

"Fine, but I will go with you so that you can come back with me." Her father said as she became anxious for a second thinking about the encounter with Abaan. They both would be furious seeing each other. But she gathered hope as Aima was fine so Abaan could forgive her father.

She went to change as they both went towards the mansion.

°°°

He was working in his study with his head borrowed inside the laptop as his mind was occupied with the thoughts of Fatima. Her father was becoming a hurdle between them and he won't tolerate that. He asked her to come today but she refused saying she wanted to spend more time with her parents. He agreed but won't tolerate excuses again as he would pick her tommorow. 

He groaned as his phone started ringing indicating the name of Aima's doctor on the screen.

"Yes?" He asked as the next thing he heard from the other side of the phone made him stood up from the chair in relief and in surprise. 

"Fine. I am coming." He said smilingly as he hurried outside the room to collide with Sufyan.

"What happened?" Sufyan asked with amused expressions as he saw smiling Abaan in the absence of Fatima. That thing was noticed by everyone that Abaan was like a calm wind with Fatima but without her he behaved like a obnoxious frustrated man like he was acting these days.

"Aima, she is out of coma now. Let's go." Abaan said as he hurried towards the car and went to the hospital to see his sister. 

"She is unconscious die to medicines right now but she would wake up soon." The doctor said as he asked them to take her back to the mansion and as they couldn't deny him so they discharged Aima with few nurses.

"Congratulations." Daniel, Hamza and Charlie soon came with Sumaiya as they heard about Aima. For then she was their cute sister whim they wanted to protect like Abaan used to. 

"Let me call Fatima." Abaan said as he stood from the couch. They were seated in the living room as Aima was unconscious.

"I have already done that " Sumaiya said as he glared at her. He wanted to tell her himself. Sumaiya mumbled a small sorry as he shook his head.

"So?" Charlie said as Abaan raised an eyebrow at him.

"So what?" Abaan asked.

"You brought Fatima because of Aima so what will you do now?" Charlie asked as everyone looked at Abaan.

"What do you mean? She is my wife. She will live with me always." Abaan scoffed.

" Of course she will. But what about her parents?" Daniel asked.

" She still isn't allowed to meet them. I will bring her back. That bastard hit my sister. She endured so much pain because of him. " Abaan said in anger as they all sighed.

"What about Fatima? Didn't she ask you to leave all this stuff?" Charlie again asked.

" I would tell her that I have left this like I said I wasn't an assassin before. She trusts me." Abaan said but looked up as he didn't hear someone.  He looked at then as their faces were pale like they had seen a ghost. He looked behind to find what made them so terrified but seeing Fatima with tears and red eyes made him more pale and terrified then them. She heard everything. He ignored that her father was standing behind her as he went towards her to place his hand on her cheeks but she jerked then away with anger in his eyes.

"Janum listen to me it's just..." Abaan was saying.

" You lied to me " Fatima said in between tears.

" No it's just... I didn't want to make you feel worried." Abaan said as she again jerked his hand away. 

"Aima is up sir. She is calling you." She was about to say something but a nurse came. He looked at her as she was crying. 

"We will talk about it. Let's go." Abaan said taking her towards Aima room as she tried to liberate her wrist from his hand but all in vain. Her father couldn't understand what was happening as he also followed them in the room. He wanted to apologize to the girl he hit not his brother.

"Hey kiddo, are you fine?" Abaan said as he sat beside Aima. Aima looked at him with a smile. She was indeed his sister as she was beautiful. 

"I am fine." She said as she looked at everyone inside the room. But frowned seeing Fatima and her father in the room. 

"She is my wife, Fatima." Abaan sensed her confusion as she gasped.

"You married without me, bhai?" Aima glared at him as he nodded his head.

"I am sorry. It had to." Abaan smiled as she rolled her eyes at him. Then raised her hand towards Fatima. Fatima smiled as she grabbed her hand.

"I am glad you are fine now." Fatima said with her puffy eyes because of crying.

"My brother made you cry too." Aima said sadly glaring at Abaan as he looked at Fatima but she diverted her attention.

"No it's just...I am sorry. I apologize on behalf of my father as that an accident." Fatima said as she signalled towards her father who came forward.

"I know I did a mistake and I am really sorry for that beta. Hope you will forgive me? But your brother had compensated by taking my daughter from me in replacement for you." Her father said as Abaan just clenched his jaw.

"What?" Aima shrieked making everyone startled.

"What happened kiddo?" Abaan asked.

"You married her because of me?" Aima said as she was shocked.

" He must be punished." Abaan said glaring at Fatima's father as he glared back while everyone in the room was just seeing them with disappointment.
