"You sold me just for the sake of money !!!! You ......bastard . "
She was shouting with all her might . The guy slapped her so hard that She could not maintain her balance and rolled to one side. Her hands were tied very badly. And at that time, due to the slap, her head became dizzy .

"Women like you are capable of that" He shouted , her hair were clenched in his fist . He  left them with a jerk and she remained unconsciously face down on the  ground ............

Instantly her eyes opened . She was having a nightmare . Firstly she was not able to process that where was she . Then she realized and found herself on a hospital bed . She was panting and fully drenched in sweat . SHe wanted to move his hand, but could not because of the prick of the needle in her hand. She felt pain in her throat because of thirst .
"Wa...ter!!!" She coughed . She wanted to get up, but she collapsed on the bed again due to immense pain in her body .

Sabrina was sleeping on the couch near the bed when she heard a noise. She opened her eyes due to the disturbance. Seeing her awake, she get up from the couch and moved towards her.
"What do you want? Bacha." She asked politely .
"PaA..ni..."(Water).
Sabrina helped her to settle on the bed . She adjusted the pillows behind her . When she adjusted herself on the bed Sabrina kept the glass of water near her lips , she drank the water in a go .
"Aur??"(More?) Sabrina asked politely.
"No..." She gave her one word answer .
"Beta , do you want to eat something? Umm , let me give you soup !" She turned without waiting for her answer.
"No , I don't ....want to eat . What's that ...place?" Her face was pale .
Sabrina smiled on her place and pour some soup in a bowl . And moved towards her . She passed her a little smile . " First have this soup then I will answer each and every question of yours . Okay? " She kept the spoon on her lips . But she refused to drink and turned her face on the other side .

"I wa...nt to go... Why don't ...you understand? They are ... They are still searching ....for me" her throat was hurting because of the conversation and her voice was barely audible.
There were tear stains on her face.

The room was lit with dim lights and there was silence every where . Sabrina placed the bowl on the side table and caressed her cheek . "You are safe , no one will be able to reach here . Calm down yourself . Just trust me . I can give you guarantee." She was telling her something may be she was giving her guarantee or something. But she froze in her place . Because she saw that face before . But she could not able to recognize it .

"Beta??"
She came out from her thoughts and And She get satisfied a little much to see a familiar face, even though she still didn't recognize her.
"I want to sleep ." She covered herself with the duvet , And  descended into the valley of sleep.
Sabrina was noticing her actions and let out her breadth and moved towards the couch .

Outside the room Haadim was wandering infront of the door and sat down on the bench . He rested his head on the back of the bench and closed his eyes .

(Today you have made me desperate again. Why have you taken over my heart and mind? Even today, the wound in my heart hurts like the first day. I have no control over my thoughts. What should I do? I am bound in your thoughts even though I do not want to.
Mein na-mehram Hun tumharay Liye or mein nahi Chahta ke Kisi na- mehram ki soch ka markaz Tum ban jao .
... .... Allah give me patience ۔ Allah please protect her from every evil and difficulties )
He prayed for her as usual. His heart was alarming him about her . 
He rubbed his hands on his face . Sleep was far from his eyes .  He Spent this night again in her name .

Next morning

The sun came out in its full glory, its rays were  coming into her room. Sabrina removed the curtains .
The girl on the bed opened her eyes because of the light rays . She tried to get up but as usual Sabrina helped her .
"Did you sleep well?" She asked her politely . " Now get up from the bed . Go and take a shower . I have brought a pair of suit shalwar for you . " She handed over her a dress.

"Why are you doing this to me ? I am not even worthy of it ..." She said with expression less face .

"No one can judge the worth of others . So how can you do this ? Hmm? ." She saw in her eyes.
"Just leave it . What's your name ? I am not forcing ....

"Saheefa. My name is Saheefa ." Sabrina smiled but her face still straight. She tried to get up from the bed , grabbed the clothes from her and moved towards the washroom .

Someone knocked the door. Sabrina opened the door and found his son holding two bags .
"Assalamualaikum Bi jaan." He smiled .
"Walaikum Assalam Meri jaan" she smiled back and ruffled his hair with her hand .
"Here is the breakfast . In this bag there is breakfast for her.  And in this bag , it's yours ." He handed over those bags one by one.

"Beta , aren't you going to office ? "
"I am just leaving for the office . I will go home first .I will come back soon , most probably in the afternoon because there is a very important foreign delegation . Just pray for me Bi jaan that I will achieve this opportunity." He made a pout.  Sabrina laughed a little  turned to enter the room after after entrusting his son to God

"Did she tell her name ?" He asked in a very busy manner (just pretending)
"Yes , Saheefa Naam hai uska . (Her name is Saheefa) She just told her name . And nothing more. " She replied in her place .
(Ooh Saheefa !! So she is not her . Come on Haadim FOCUSSSSS!!)
He dropped his thought and pecked on her mother's forehead and left the hospital.
Sabrina entered the room and saw her in that suit, she was standing on the doorstep of the bathroom.
She was wearing a baby pink Chikan Kaari embroidered kameez with a white shalwar .
Her colour was sparkling in that soft coloured dress . Water was dripping on her face . She was looking like a cute little doll . This fresh look of her beautified herself more .

"Saheefa bachay , come and eat some breakfast. You didn't eat last night too. "
She set the table but she was still on her place .

"What happened? " She asked politely. She understood her state , moved towards her and patted her cheek.
"Eat a little !" She smiled .

(How can she smiled that much?) She thought.
Without any resistance she moved with her towards the couch .
She sat , staring at the food . Sabrina made a shovel and kept near her mouth . She opened her mouth  .

How can she deny a beautiful hearted women like her . She left herself on her mercy .

She was talking with her and Saheefa was replying to her by nodding .
But when she finished her food ." Will you please help me?" All this time she asked only this. Perhaps she was convinced of her goodness after seeing her kindness .

"Yes , why not??" She held her hands in devotion . She got happy after her initiative step .

"Will you please give me a shelter ? A safe shelter to live ?"
