"Anabia". She heard Akbar's voice cutting his intense stare as she turns to find all of them standing there, "I need to talk to you".

"Why?". Before she could ask he did receive a glare from her, "Why do you want to speak to my wife?".

"Keep your jealousy to yourself I have a wife already". Akbar said rolling his eyes, "It's important".

They understand the seriousness of the situation as Inaya and Zainab told her that they will look after Ehan while she can go talk to Akbar and others. They enter inside his study as she sits on the couch away from Usman who moves closer to her making her move further away and he moves even closer making her narrow her eyes at him while he shrugged.

"Did you see the men who helped you?". Akbar asked ignoring their on going staring contest

She frowns trying to remember the time but she was immense in not losing him that she didn't even look at them.

"No". She said thoughtfully, "I never saw their faces they were wearing masks".

"Do you remember anything?. Their clothes, voice, eyes or anything at all?". Akbar inquired again impatiently

"What is going on?". Usman asked confused as he looks at all of their serious faces which means there was something happening

"It wasn't our men". Zafar said monotonously, "It wasn't our men who saved you".

Usman frowns, "What is that supposed to mean?. There could be either our men or the men who attacked me".

"That's what I thought". Akbar said stern, "However my guards that were on duty told me that they reached the forest when you were taken to the hospital and the men who attacked you were tied and left behind".

"So, did you find who it was?". Usman asked frowning, "Why will someone help me without any gain?. And if they managed to beat the men who attacked me they must be skilled enough".

Akbar nodded, "I didn't find a single trace even the men who attacked you told me that they have no idea where those men came from. They were like a shadow that no one managed to see and the men said that since they were wearing a mask they couldn't see their faces but they were all skilled".

"The man who spoke his voice was deep and somewhat familiar". Anabia said frowning, "I don't know the way he spoke seems as he knows about us and when they carried Usman, he was the one who was looking at him while directing his people but none of them spoke a word".

"Do you remember their cars?". Akbar asked

She shakes her head, "It was raining so I couldn't see anything and the lights were out. I don't even know how they managed to carry us out of the forest but they did it in record time and they didn't even shake because of the storm or anything".

"They know their ways in the forest. They must be familiar with it". Usman said thoughtfully, "The only person who can move around like that can be the one who's been running in that forest".

"They didn't leave a single trace behind. It's getting hard I don't know but those messages we received and this doesn't seem like a coincident". Akbar said sighing

"Someone is doing it knowingly". Awais said after listening to everyone else, "Maybe it's someone we know?".

"I have tracks on all the people I could think of since I received the text but there is no one suspicious". Akbar spoke

"You can go and look at Ehan". Usman said looking at her and she nodded walking out hurriedly, "It can be someone from the past".

"Someone we have been with". Zafar said nodding, "It is possible but we are not sure if it's someone from back home or someone we met later".
