Kanwal was sitting on the stairs leading up to the roof, crying, while remembering her family. She wanted to talk to them, see them but Ahad wouldn't even allow her to talk to them on the phone.
Kanwal put her head on her knees when she saw Ahad approaching her.
"Get up. I'll drop you home." Ahad said and left.
She couldn't believe what just happened, but she rushed behind Ahad, wiping her tears. She didn't want to miss this chance, who knows if his mind will change. But it didn't change. Within half an hour, Kanwal was back with her family. Alina also called Mahnoor to come over to their house and Mahnoor came rushing to meet Kanwal.
Kanwal was happy to see her family and her best friend. Her mother made all of her favourite dishes for lunch, but when they were about to start eating, a loud bang on the door caught their attention. Before someone could open the door, it was broken down by some armed men - Black Eagle's men.
Without hesitating, they charge into the house, followed by Moosa, and behind him was Ahad.
"Why are you here? Ahad, what is all this?" Kanwal asked.
"I am sorry, but going against the rules wasn't the right thing to do." Ahad sighed and took out his gun, "Now I have to pay for my own mistake." He said, raising his gun towards Kanwal's mother.
"Ahad, what are you doing?!" Kanwal shouted.
Mahnoor was standing behind with Alina, trying to send her away through the back door, but was instantly caught by a man. Mahnoor tried to resist but was quickly held by Moosa himself from behind.
"You're a feisty one!" Moosa said, holding Mahnoor from the neck.
"Mahnoor!" Kanwal breathed out and quickly turned to Ahad for help, whose gun was aiming at her mother.
"Ahad, please don't! Please!" Kanwal pleaded, but soon her attention was diverted to Mahnoor, who was still struggling. But on the next moment, Moosa held her tightly and snapped her neck. The sound of a gunshot is followed, taking her mother to the floor, who was standing beside her.
"AMI...!" Kanwal screamed and tried to bend down to her, but was instantly pulled back.

"AMI...!" A loud scream from Kanwal woke Ahad up from a deep sleep. In the startled state, he sat up.
"Leave me!" Kanwal screamed again and that's when he realized what was happening.
"Kanwal, wake up." Quickly leaning towards Kanwal, Ahad patted her cheek and she instantly opened her eyes.
"It's okay, it was a dream." Ahad tried to calm Kanwal, sliding his fingers into her hair. But she quickly shoved his hand away and move to get off from the bed.
"Kanwal, wait." Ahad tugged her arm and pulled her onto the bed again.
"Where are you going?"
"Away from you."
Ahad made a displeased face and said, "Whatever I did in your dream wasn't my fault, so don't take out your anger on me."
Kanwal didn't answer, just stared down at her lap. Taking the hint that Kanwal might get his point, Ahad pushed her back onto the pillow by holding her shoulders and hover over her.
"Now go back to sleep." Ahad said in a low tone, despite the hateful look in Kanwal's eyes. As a response to disobedience, Kanwal turned her face to the other direction.
"I am not that bad that you despise me like this." He said, turning Kanwal's face to him again.
"I didn't see anything good in you in the past few days." Kanwal said with a straight face.
"Then give me a second chance." Ahad said, lowering his face to her and lightly brushed his lips on hers.
"I don't believe in second chances." Kanwal frowned and answer.
On hearing it, Ahad gave Kanwal a satisfying smile and place his head on Kanwals chest, after giving a kiss on her forehead.
You are free to believe whatever you want Kanwal, but you will eventually give me chances again and again...
Was the last thought in Ahad's mind before he went back to sleep.
