Ch - 1

Gritting his teeth, he fiercely squeezed her arms making the tears drench her eyes completely, " Do you think that whatever you do behind my back, I will not know? " Streams of tears trickle down her tinted cheeks onto his hands which made him even more devastated.

He can't see the tears in her eyes. 

He hates her.

He loves her.

He tortures her. 

He can't see her in pain.

" What made you think that you would cheat me with my own younger brother and I would not be able to understand this? " He is not able to see the tears falling from her eyes, due to which he has become more frustrated that he clenched her arms even more vigorously. 

She clenched her eyes tightly out of the pain which is hurting her heart more than arms. 

" Do you think I would not have punished him for what he did? " Hearing this, tears start flowing from her eyes even more, seeing which his teeth start grinding fiercely. 

" Stoppppppp ittt damnit !!! Justtt stop it… " Now he can't tolerate these tears and that's why he forcefully pushes her on the bed, taking care that she doesn't get hurt. 

Somehow she plucks up the courage to say something in front of Haider so she turns her face towards him by getting her face out of the bed, " Hai.." but before she could say anything that's when a loud voice of a mirror breaking is heard in her ears

She gets very scared as soon as she sees Haider going berserk breaking all the things in the room, " You didn't dare to make fun of my love, Amira !!!! " 

He throws the chair so hard that the lamp on the side table on the side of the bed falls down with such force that Amira is horrified to see it.

 She clenches her eyes tightly out of fear, 

" Amiraaaa… .." He shouts out loudly when his eyes move on the side table and goes to the broken lamp which is about to fall on Amira's foot. 

Forgetting his anger and frustration, he rushes closer to Amira but fails to save her, " aaaaaahgggg… " a slight scream comes out of her mouth which forced Haider to squint his eyes and clench his fist tightly, 

" Can't you hear? Is your mind in place? Don't you understand that I called you, so you should … " he yells at her frustratingly when his eyes falls on Ameera's tightly clenched eyes, 

She knows that Hyder can't see her in pain. 

She knows that her pain hurts Haider more than her. 

She knows that Haider sees nothing beyond her pain. 

Haider moves closer to her and starts lifting her up in his arms, " Don't worry ! I will not let anything happen to you! " He said ignoring direct eye contact with her.

 She wraps her hands around Haidar's neck and holds on tightly, staring at Haidar when Haider starts walking forward towards the door of the room. 

She knows that Haider loves her so much that Haider can destroy anyone for her, even himself too. 

She knows that Haider's unconditional love does not deserve this deception. 

Meanwhile they both reach the hospital where Haider puts Amira on the bed, " Don't worry ! " Haider said caressing her hair. 

" Haider ! " Amira and Haider turn around and are amazed to see Dr. Stephan in India.

Squinting his eyes in confusion, Haider asked, " Stephen ! What are you doing here ? " 

" So I should ask both of you this question, when did you come here from Mexico? " Stephen began to step forward while asking.

" Oh my God ! How did this happen ? And so much blood!!! " Stephan turned around and asked the nurse with a loud shout, " It's a deep shallow Laceration !!! Stitches will have to be applied immediately." 

Amira instantly turned her gaze at Haider whose eyes are fixed on the blood coming out of Amira's wound, seeing which Amira gets worried because she knows what Haider does whenever he hurts Amira, " Haider … " She swallows the aloe of her fear with saliva and looks at Haider and calls out to him, which Haider turns unheard. 

" Haider … " clenching her fist tightly, she once again calls him out. But this time also Haider does not look at him but stares at the same wound making Amir shaking so badly with Haidar's anger that even as Stefan is stitching her wound, she's looking at Haidar's fiercely clenched fist. 

" Woahhoo Amira ! I didn't know you'd be so brave! " Stephan appreciates, looking at Amaira's alarmed eyes. 

He turned around navigating her attention, " Don't worry, Haider ! She'll be fine! " Said Stephan when he noticed Haider's eyes gazing at Amaira's wound. 

" Stephan… " In a frightened voice, Ameera, looking at Haider, calls out to Stephen, to which Stephen turns to look at Ameera.

" Yes ? " Stephan asks but Amira's trembling lips are unable to support her in saying anything but she somehow manages to find the courage and utters, 

" Can you leave us alone for a while? " 

" Yaa ya !! Why not !!! " Stephan gets the command and walks out of here with the nurse, the same haider still standing, still half-swallowed in a steady state of hatred and anger.

" Hai.. haide.. Haider … Haider, Let me … " she started stuttering with trapped fear in her throat when Haider who was still looking at Amira's wound asked, " Are you in a lot of pain? " 

" Haider … " her heart felt like someone pricked a sharp needle in her heart, her tears started to flow down through her tinted cheeks. 

She couldn't bear it anymore. 

No ! How could she betray this man whose love for her is still the same despite all this?

" Haider … " She tries to choke this pain in her chest so that she can be closer to Haider, She gets up from the bed with her eyes fixed on Haider, despite her fresh stitches, and steps down to walk over to Haider when only her foot twists making her about to fall down that's when Haider immediately rushed towards her and wrapped her strong arms around her waist tightly, keeping her from falling. 

Her heart started aching when she looked at Haider, " Haider … "She raised her hands to feel Haider's face but before her fingers could touch Haider, that's when Stephan arrived in the ward. 

" Ameera !!! " With a Little panicked voice, he rushed towards her, " You alright ? " 

She turned her eyes towards Stephan who genuinely looked concerned. Amira shook her head looking at Stephen with a fake smile. 

Within no time, Haider lifts Amira back in his arms and puts her on the bed and is about to leave when Amira holds his hand, " Haider ! " 

He's about to turn around when only Stephan said, " Amira, you know that in such a delicate period you need to take care of yourself, still why are you doing all this carelessness? " 

Amira is confused ! 

Meanwhile Haider emphasizes the ridges on his forehead and turns his confused face towards Stephan asks Haider in wonderment, " what ? " 

" What do you mean by such a delicate period? " asked Haider in a choked, haughty voice, looking at Stefan with bloodshot eyes. 

Stephan, while looking at Amira and then at Haider astonishingly, asked " Why are you both behaving like this? And Amira, don't say that you haven't told Haider about this yet! "

Amira is completely muddled. 

" Oh freak ! " Stephan squeezed his eyes in guilt, " Dude ! I'm hell sorry If I've ruined your surprise! " 

Amira probably remembers now what Stephen is talking about and that's why her hands and lips are trembling so vigorously, her chest is aching like someone stabbed her in the chest, " No ! " Her lip murmured slowly. 

" Stephen, will you tell me straight, what is going on here? " Haider turns his gaze to Stefan, looking at Amira's trembling hands and eyes full of fear, and asks him curiously. 

" Amira… " Stefan looks at Ameera with guilty eyes and apologizes to her, while Amir's petrified eyes are now bent down from Haider and Stefan. 

" Stephan ! " Haider's anger is getting out of control now.

Stephan turned around Haider and said while hoping that Ameera should not feel too bad with Stephen for disclosing this surprise, " Congratulations Haider ! Ameera is pregnant. " 

Amira clenches her eyes tightly, 

Amira does not have the courage to see Haider's anger, nor does she have the courage to make eye contact with him now.

While these three words have turned Haider's world upside down. His body has frozen and it seems as if he is not able to lift the weight of his own body now. 

Stephen continued, " I know that you have not been able to tolerate the shock of what happened with Kabir, but this good news may help you to get over that shock." 

Amira immediately looked at Stefan as soon as he took Kabir's name, who's the younger brother of Haider, " What happened to Kabir? " 

Seeing this confidence on Ameera's face suddenly alongwith seeing this care for Kabir, Haider's anger comes out of his eyes, he chokes his fist with force.

Stephan is amused, " Don't you know that Kabir has been tortured so mercilessly by someone that he is now in coma ? " 

Before Stephen could ask or say anything further, only then the nurse comes and takes him with her in case of an emergency.

Here, Ameera is knocked out hearing this meanwhile Haider, gritting his teeth fiercely, turns around and is about to leave when he hears Amaira asking, " Why did you do this? " Her voice seems kind of lost but not afraid this time. 

Haider turned around and started gazing at Ameera, " I gave you so much pain that before your old wounds could heal, I used to give you new and more painful wounds still you never asked me any question, then why today? " Asking questions calmly, Haider's voice was oozing with anger, from which Amira is no longer afraid of.

" He loved you Haider! " Said Ameera angrily with bowed down eyes. 

Gritting his teeth fiercely, Haider came closer to Ameera so close that both could feel each other's heartbeats which probably still beat for each other, " and you loved him ! " 

She raised her eyes and started staring at him, 

His eyes turned red with anger and hatred. 

She knows how much Haider loved Kabir and that Haider never got Kabir to get even a scratch. 

" Everything changed in the blink of an eye, didn't it? " Asked Haider in a different tone, Hearing Amira understood that something was definitely not going well in Haider's mind. But even Amira is not able to understand what it is. 

Before Ameera could understand anything, Haider points a gun at Ameera, seeing which Ameera gets very nervous, " Haider… " 

" It's over, Ameera ! " Said Haider with a heavy heart. 

Amira says nothing and closes her eyes and accepts her fate. 

Seeing this, Haider breaks into more pieces from inside. That's why maybe the hands which did not tremble even before killing thousands of people, today they are trembling while moving ahead of the trigger. Here Amir has accepted the decision of her life with all due consideration because she knows that seeing her, Haider will die a new death every day, which she will not be able to see. 

As soon as the sound of something falling echoes in her ears, she gets very scared and starts trembling because she thought that the gun went off but when even after a few moments nothing happens, she slowly opens her eyes and sees that Haider is still standing with his numb eyes, aiming at Ameera. 

Amira was just looking at him, that's when Amira felt something in her hands and as soon as she bows her head down, she sees a gun on her lap, " Pick it up, Ameera ! " 

Amira's tears start falling on that gun, seeing her like this Haider tightly clenched the gun in his hand.

" The decision of your life is in your hands, Amira ! Press the trigger and free yourself from this prison forever! " Haidar swallows the pain and hatred with saliva. 

Amira is badly broken. 

" Pick up the gun and set yourself free, Amira! If you miss this chance today, you will probably never get it again. " Haider knows that Amira would never do such a thing! She can't kill anyone then even if there is a chance in front of her to kill the person who has tortured her on every bone. 

Haider was engrossed in the thought that only then his eyes got pierced when Amira's trembling hands with dewy eyes started moving forward slowly towards the gun. 

He's shattered. He can't believe his eyes when he sees the trembling hands of Ameera moving towards the gun.

Devastated Ameera picks up the gun in her hands while still drenching her tinted cheeks with tears. 

" Means you really want freedom from me! " Saying this, Haider looks at the gun in his hands, then sees the gun held in Amira's trembling hands. 

" Can you shoot? " Haider is asking this when a loud gunshot is heard, after which both Amira and Haider clenches their eyes tightly.
