Zaid POV.

Dada words are hitting me like dragger, with their sharp pointed end, stab me in my chest. Sarah has to go through all this. I never imagined that.

Sarah did all this to save my life and her family.

I'm sorry Sarah. I should've trusted you. But you should've told me once.

Why Sarah? Why you didn't even told me all about this earlier?

"Beta are you okay?", dada asked worriedly.

"Dada i want to tell you something"

"Yes, son tell me"

"Dada in tha...that blast, Sarah also los....lost her life", i told  him with my head hung low. It was responsibility to protect her, but i failed miserably.

"Yes, son. I know", tears starts flowing out from his eyes. He started crying hysterically.

"I'm sorry beta, i should've told you all this earlier. Whenever i tried to tell you, there's always something happens that i couldn't", he said wiping his tears.

Then i remembered those faint sound, which i heard while talking with dada on phone.

"Dada, i also want to ask you something?"

"Yes, son"

"What are the sound of yelling and thrashing coming when you called me back days", i finally asked him.

His eyes widened in shock. His sad expression suddenly turned into worried once. Then he blinked few times beforr answering.

"No, it's nothing beta. Our neighbours were fighting over their dogs. They always do that", he explained.

Why dada become suddenly so stiff and worried?

Is he also hiding something?

"Beta, you must have tried. Go take some rest. Then we will have dinner together. Sejal take him to guest room"

"Yes, dada. Let's me help you with luggage Jiju", Sejal offered her help.

"No need of that Sejal. Thank you"

"This is your room jiju. Take shower and rest for a while", Sejal showed me my room and left.

Third person POV.

*Mobile phone ring*

Dada face colour suddenly drained when he saw the number flashing on his caller id. He never ever wanted to talk to them again. But in order to save the life of his beloved grand-daughter he has to, he's to ve the puppet of that unknown person.

"Hello"

"Aasalam walekum dada, you did a great job today"

"Please now leave her, i did what you told me to do. I told him everything whatever you told me to say in front of him. Please now leave her"

"Tsk tsk tsk, not so soon baba (dad), not so soon, until unless your son (zaid) is under our control, don't worry. She's safe with us, after all she's my daughter", he laughed bitterly.

"Please don't do this, this will break both of them, they already had been through so much", dada pleaded.

"Khuda hafiz (good bye) baba", with that, that unknown person hung his call.

Dada was placing back-forth in his room. Worrying about Sarah. He fufill all their demands, still they are holding Sarah as captive.

Dada opened his prayer matt. And started praying to Allah, for her safety.
