The whole Khan villa was restless and why not, after all the youngest daughter of Khans, Maira Ali Khan, was kidnapped by some unknown men. Maira had been missing for ten hours. Everyone in the house was very upset because nothing was known yet.

Everyone in the house was sitting in the TV lounge. Zarnan Khan was angrily talking to someone on the phone. Mehrunissa was constantly crying and Saba and Maheen, who was only 17 years old, were comforting her. Zarnan cutt off the call angrily and sighed, looking at Mehrunissa. Amir Sheikh (Michael's Father) entered the lounge with Ali Khan. When Zarnan saw them, he immediately asked, "What happened? Kuch pata chala?" Worriedness was evident in his tone.

"Nahi kuch pata nahi chala. Haider aur Rumaan abhi police k saath hi hain." Amir said, looking at Ali Khan. "Tum batao Zarnan?"
"Koshish kar raha hoon mein."

As soon as Ali heard this, he sat down on sofa, grabbed his head in his hands and tears started falling from his eyes. His elder brother, Zarnan, sat beside him
"Ali please mere bhai Allah par bharosa rakho, Maira mil jaye gi. Mehrunissa ko dekho, usy tumhari zaroorat hai. Sambhalo khud ko." Zarnan was comforting him, his own eyes were filled with tears and pain.
"Bhai Jan kese sambhalu khud ko, 10 ghanton se ziada hone ko hain aur meri beti ki koi khabar hi nahi." Ali said while wiping his tears.

Being youngest in Khans, Maira was apple of everyone's eye, and because of her beautiful, cheerful and lively nature she was always the centre of attention of everyone.

Amir sat beside Ali. Now Ali was in centre and Amir was sitting at one side and Zarnan was sitting at the other side of Ali. "Zarnan ab ik hi shakhs hai Jo hamari madad kar sakta hai." Amir said while looking at Mehrunissa and Ali. They all looked at Amir. "Kon bhai?" Ali said impatiently. "Arham."

"ZARNAN!!!" Arham's anger filled voice echoed in whole Khan villa. "Arham tum..... Tum yahan kese...." Zarnan said standing up from the sofa. Zarnan was very surprised to see Arham there. From behind Arham, Zarnan saw Michael and Wali coming. It did not take long for Zarnan to realize that Michael and Wali had brought Arham here. "Arham bhai." Arham heard Ali's painful voice. As soon as Arham looked at Ali, he went soft. He went to Ali and hugged him.

"Fikar mat karo Ali. Mein aa gaya hoon na. Hum Maira ko dhoond len ge. Zarnan tume mujy usi waqt batana chahiye tha jis waqt ye waqia hua tha. Agar Wali mujy na btata to mjy to pata hi nhi chalna tha. Tum jaante ho Zarnan main tumari madad kar sakta hoon." Zarnan looked at Arham with embarrassment." Lekin kese?"
"Mein ne 19 saal pehly Mafia chori zaroor thi lekin abhi bhi mere aise buht se taaluqat hain k meri aik phone call par mere kaam Minto me ho jayein." Arham said and called someone.

Rumaan and Wali's situation was no less than Ali's. It was Wali's advice to seek help from Arham uncle. Maira was Rumaan's little doll. Rumaan loves Maira not as a Brother but as a Father. Rumaan's eyes were red due to pain. Aur Wali, us ki to poori duniya hi Maira thi.

After a couple of calls from Arham, Maira was found in an hour. Now everyone in the house was in the hospital. Nirmal, the only daughter of Almir, Rumaan and Wali's paternal aunt (phopho), was applying ointment on Maira wounds. Maira wasn't badly injured. But her left hand was badly bleeding. Maira was unconscious when police found her. A few minutes after coming to the hospital, Maira regained consciousness but she had not been speaking since she regained consciousness. She was looking lifeless. Her eyes were devoid of every emotion.
After seeing her condition, Wali's heart broke into million of pieces. A sharp pain rose in his heart. It was the pain of love. Her eyes, once full of life, were no longer showing any emotion. He was in love with her beautiful blue eyes.
Nirmal, who was a doctor, asked lovingly to Maira "Maira dard to nahi ho raha?" Maira didn't reply. Maira didn't even look at her. She was just blankly staring at the front wall. Just Saba, Nirmal and Mehru (Mehrunissa) were sitting in this hospital room with Maira. Saba lovingly took Maira's hand and said, "Beta, say something." Maira still didn't react. Mehru's eyes filled with tears after seeing this. Wali was standing in the doorway watching all this. He knew that Maira was not in a position to say anything yet. But he wanted to try. So he softly called her name "Maira." Maira looked at where the sound came from. When her eyes fell on Wali, tears came to her eyes. To everyone's surprise, Maira reacted to Wali's words. Maira immediately descended from the hospital bed. Wali immediately went towards her. Tears started falling from her eyes. Now her eyes were showing only one emotion and that emotion was pain. "W...Wali" She said in her broken voice and a sob escaped from her mouth. Tears welled up in Wali's eyes. Maira lost her balance. Wali grabbed her before she fell to the ground. "Maira" He called and she looked at him with pain. She said in her cracked voice. "KION. MEIN KION." She yelled and pushed wali. She started screaming
"WHY ME?
WHY? WHY??
Mama, Baba, Rumaan, Wali sab mein se koi nahi aya. NAHI AYE AAP LOG. NAHI AYE. KION?" Her words pierced their heart.
Everyone was stunned. Mehru said holding back her tears and extending her hand towards Maira "Maira beta."
"Door rahein." A sob escaped from Mehru's mouth. Wali was looking at the scene in astonishment. He had no idea that Maira would react like this. Saba tried to get closer to her.
"Mein ne Kaha DOOR RAHEIN MUJH SE." She yelled Aggressively while throwing all the medicines on the floor that was on the bed side table. Wali came in his senses. "Maira" Wali went towards her. "Samajh mein nahi aa raha main ne kaha. MERE QAREEB MAT AANA." Wali held her petite figure from his one hand and held her both hands in his other hand. "Choro Mujy." Immediately Nirmal took a syringe from a nurse and injected Maira "Chor do mujhe please." She said while closing her eyes. Wali laid her on the hospital bed. Mehru sat beside her and wiped her tear strained face. Her own tears were not stopping from falling. Wali turned and run his hand in his hair. A tear left from his eye but he immediately wiped it.
