"Look at this" ahmed said while putting few papers in front of him. "Accept it" he said again.
Sarmad frowned, his jaw clenching and his fists tightened, he looked away from the papers.
"I'm never going to Accept this abba, this is not my problem...all this" sarmad pointed towards the papers. "All this is because of you, I'm not going to spend anything on what you did, i have my personal plans too"
Sarmad left the office and slammed the door behind him. Ahmed leaned back in his chair and smirked "if you don't accept it sarmad, remember i will make you accept..im your father you can never go against me"
His phone rang, ahmed picked up the call "hello?" He asked.
"Sir, i have got the documents
Im arriving at your office today" the man on the other side of phone said."No need, I'm not going to stay here today" ahmed replied and ended the call.
He got up and left the office.

"Hello?" Shehzad said once again...trying to hear what irfah was saying on the call.
"Hello? Shehzad please speak up" irfah asked standing near the main gate of their house.
"Ah, finally i can hear you.. i was telling you...please get me my wallet...since i came from my university im here and my wallet is in my room" he said while walking in the hallway of hospital.
Irfah smiled and replied "dont worry, i will get it to you" and they ended the call.
Irfah loved Shehzad more than anything. He was like her own child to her, her younger brother. She couldn't move away from him even if he get a slight fever, and due to this Shehzad was very close to her, even he loved her the same way she did. She was a advicer, helper and everything to him. During his tough times she was there for him to offer support and care.
Irfah was walking towards shehzad's room and fareeda who was in the nearby room called irfah, "irfah, can you come here?", her voice was very low since she was crying for hours daily.
"Yes ammi" irfah replied and stood at the door of fareeda's room. "Beta, can you get me some water?" Fareeda said, she was sitting on the prayer mat.
"Yes ammi i will get it" irfah glanced at fareeda once again and went in the kitchen to get her water, after she returned she saw fareeda still sitting on the prayer mat, her elbow resting on the bed while she was seated down.
Irfah walked towards her, and sat down beside her offering her a glass of water. "Ammi are you okay?" She asked being concerned.
"Ye..yeah" fareeda replied and drank the water, her hands were trembling. After she drank the water irfah took the glass from her.
"You are not feeling well, right ammi?" Irfah asked placing her hand on fareeda's shoulder.
"Im okay irfah" fareeda replied, her voice was barely audible.
"No ammi, i know you are not well, you haven't been eating anything since abba got he..heart attack and look at yourself ammi.. wait i will check you blood pressure" irfah quickly checked her blood pressure which was very low, irfah looked at fareeda her eyes widened.
"A..ammi why didn't you told me you weren't feeling well?"
"Irfah im okay" fareeda said smiling, placing her hand on irfah's cheek.
"You are very brave irfah. I never expected my lovely daughter will be by my side when there's no one. You know i don't have any family members except altaf and you both, and....i...i..cant bear what altaf is going through, i can't see him in pain, he has already suffered so much"
"Ammi, don't cry" irfah said wiping fareeda's tears. "Go irfah..do your work i will take rest" fareeda said and she layed down on her bed and irfah smiled at her and went out of the room.

"Excuse me, mr Shehzad it's been 4 days since your father has been here and only 30,000 is paid out of 2 lakhs, if you don't pay the whole amount in 1 week then we will stop the treatment"
"What do you mean you will stop the treatment? Just for money you will destroy the lives of patients here?"
"It's not my words sir, im here just to inform you"
"You can't stop his treatment" shehzad and that man turned around to find irfah standing there.
"You must be thinking we are not capable to pay you people? Here! Its not the full amount but we are trying"
Irfah said giving money to that man, it was 20,000.. the man took the money and left.
"Aapi? Where did you get the amount from?"
"Dont worry about it Shehzad, take your wallet and go home take rest im staying here"
"No, aapi you go back i will stay here"
"Shehzad" irfah placed her hand on his shoulder "you have already stayed for so long here, okay? You will not listen to me?"
Shehzad smiled "i will appi" Shehzad said while pulling irfah's cheek "shehzad, you are very strong now..i wont be albe to eat if you do this again" shehzad smiled and left.
Irfah was looking at him while he was leaving, she sat by a nearby chair...since this day no one was allowed to meet altaf but today..
"Excuse me? Are you from mr altaf iqbal's family?" A doctor asked irfah.
"Yes iam" irfah replied "I'm his daughter" she stood up.
"Actually miss, you are allowed to meet him, he was not responding well to the treatment but since last night we have seen a little change, he can't properly talk so don't panic, also he hasn't fully regained consciousness so if he doesn't give response to you please don't panic as it may stress the patient"
Irfah's heart felt heavy as she heard what the doctor said, the doctor left and irfah started walking towards the icu room.
She pushed the door open and...
