Episode 14

*3 years back*

After the class, Izza, Aayat, Abyad and Irshad were the only one left in the class. Izza decided to walk up to Abyad, for she was closer to him and his behaviour was strange. She wanted to understand the situation. She recently came back from the USA and joined the institute and she was unaware of the whole story. She knew Abyad as their parents were friends and Abyad treated her like his little sister. " Are you okay?" she asked as soon as she sat next to Abyad. " yeah what was supposed to happen to me?" he replied coldly looking at Irshad hugging Aayat as she hid her face in his chest. " Hello mister, you don't get to hide things from me! Remember our rule?" Izza poked him. He released his glance from Aayat to meet Izza who was genuinely concerned. "Remember when I told you I was in love? This is the girl I've been in love with," he said hiding his face in his palms. "Well... If you two love each other then why are you hurting each other?" she asked even more confused as Aayat was clearly in love with Abyad and his indifference was affecting her.

Suddenly, Zinat barged into the class looking annoyed beyond measures. She looked at a crying Aayat and a frustrated Abyad sitting at the back. Zinat walked up to Abyad and punched him in the face, leaving Izza and Abyad shocked while Irshad tried his best not to laugh. Aayat was just amused as of what could Abyad have done again to instigate Zinat's anger. " How dare you cheat on Aayat?" she asked infuriated. "He what?" asked a shocked Izza and Irshad. "Zinat, he never cheated on me and you know that!" responded Aayat. Aayat always took his side whenever Zinat was angry with him. " Oh really? Then what the hell was Is this?" she said as she showed her phone screen. " Whatever it is... I know he cannot do it" Aayat replied confidently. " Aayat stop taking his side, can't you see he never cared for you?" asked Zinat frustrated. " Ok, that's enough both of you! Izza, can you take Aayat out?" Abyad asked. Izza complied, but Aayat was resistant.

" Aayat, go with Izza," said Zinat. Aayat complied but did not say anything. As soon as Aayat and Izza left the class, Abyad spoke up. " Zinat, I never cheated on her!" he said. "Zinat, maybe it can be a fake one" explained Irshad. " oh well, I don't care! But don't you dare hurt Aayat again, if you do then prepare yourself to face me and this punch is nothing compared to what I will do to you!" she yelled before storming off. Irshad was shocked and amused at the same time. Abyad took his bag to leave as well but was stopped by Irshad.

" Why are you hurting yourself?" asked Irshad. " Why do you care?" replied an annoyed Abyad. "I agree you don't know me, but trust me, you will regret doing this later" replied Irshad. Without saying another word, Abyad left from where while Irshad stayed to prepare for the next class.

*present*

After a 12 hour journey, Zinat reached her destination. She was standing in front of the office of the person Aayat needed the most. "How is she now?" asked the person as soon as he saw Zinat entering his cabin. " Oh, so you know?" asked a surprised Zinat. "Of course! She is my little sister; I always keep track of what happens to her" replied the person. " Then why the hell did you not come to see her?" enquired a frustrated Zinat. " I had an important business to take care of" he replied. " what can be more important than your sister?" questioned Zinat. " Making sure that her enemies don't escape, anyway, since you are already here; let's deal with Rania together!" he explained. "No, not so easy and I'd rather have Aayat have the pleasure of destroying her" refused Zinat.

"What do you plan?" asked the person. "I want you to go and meet her, she will only listen to her psycho brother," she answered with a sad smile. "Come on now, not you too! I have a nice name you know?" he laughed as he hands her a cup of filtered coffee. At the other side of the world, Aayat regained her consciousness and was asking for Zinat and Dafne. Dafne rushed by her side and tried to calm her down. "what happened to me?" asked an anxious Aayat.

"You fainted due to weakness and your body is extremely weak," replied Irshad. "You are on bed rest for 2 weeks and after that, I will ensure that you eat a minimum of 5 times a day!" added Dafne. " And until you fully recover, you are not allowed to be alone," instructed Irshad. Aayat tried to protest but could not defeat her friends. She, however, wondered how Zinat was absent for she knew that Zinat would be the one who is the most worried. She just hoped that Zinat would not take any extreme measures.
