"But Dad." I stop when he holds his hand up. I sigh and look down at my hand. 

"I don't want to go. You and Maham can go and start your life there. We are not upset with both of you, but I want to stay here."

"Dad, how will you live here when we won't be here. What if something happens to you or Mom then what will you guys do? I wouldn't be here to help you. Please Dad try to understand, we can't leave you both here all alone." I explain him, but he just smiles and put his hand on my shoulder and squeeze it gently.

"I know you are worried about us, but Uzair we can take care of ourselves. We are not alone here. Ayeza, her husband, Hussyan, Ahmed everyone will be here with us. Don't worry, we will be safe here." He assured me. I sigh in defeat and nodded. 

"As you wish Dad, but promise me if something happen then you will tell me immediately." He promised me with a smile and we talk about things.

"Did you decide what are you going to start up there?" He asked me. I shake my head and grab a file before passing it to him.

"I think of these few things, but I couldn't decide anything. I don't want to move this company from here." I told him making him nod. He opens his mouth to say something, but stop when we heard the door opening loudly. 

"What happened to Henry? Is everything okay?" I asked him and stand up as he runs into the room. He shakes his head and grabbed the remote off the Tv on the wall. 

"Someone broke into your house." He says and switch on to the news channel. I look at the Tv with wide eyes and saw as the camera focus on Mom and the guard that I hired for safety laying unconscious.

Dad and I run out of the office with Henry calling for to be careful. As we drive toward the house, Dad gets a call from Hussyan asking about the incident. He told him that we are on our way there and inform them about it. When we pulled in our street we could hear loud sirens and the crowd in front of our house. I quickly stop the car when we were near and get out. 

"Sir, you can't go in there." A police officer stops me as I was going to run inside. He held me when I tried to get out of his grip.
 
"U-Uzair." I heard a stuttered and a cough behind me. I turned and I feel my eyes teary seeing her cover in bandage.

"Mom, are you okay?" I walk over and hugged her tightly close my eyes. I could feel her nodding and pulled back. 

"I am fine, but..." She trailed off and started to cry. I rubbed her hand to make calm down, but she just cry harder. 

"Mom relax. Everything is going to be okay. Tell me how all this happen? Where is Maham?" I asked her gently after a few minutes. She wipe her face and take a deep as Dad put his hand on her shoulder. 

"After you left for the office, Maham went in room to take some rest and I was in the living room talking to my friend on the phone when I heard a gunshot from outside. I look out from the window and saw him running toward the front door. I was about to call the police, but he hit me on the back of my head and I faint. I didn't know what happened after that, but when I wake up, I saw the police already here and went upstairs to check on Maham but he already takes her away." She started to cry again and Dad tried to calm her down.
