Third person's pov :

Aala was restless would be an understatement her worry knew no boundaries as she was in a state of constant fear and worrying about zaamins whereabouts.

She couldn't even rest just for a second or take a breath of relief until she gets to know the whereabouts of zaamin her minds playing different wild scenarios making her heart clench in fear she once knew how it was to hear such a heart wrenching news and she didn't ever wanted to go through that phase ever again.

Only if she knew what fate had planned for her to witness!

She was parying to Allah with all her might to keep zaamin safe and sound and return him to her as soon as possible because she has tons and tons of things to apologize and to clear every misunderstanding that happened between them.

That night he didn't return back to the mansion aala didn't slept a wink that night her eyes were puffy red from all the crying and worrying, she was experiencing a kind of pain that she quite didn't understand!

The next morning everyone was still asleep as everyone was exhausted from the grand party, aala came out of her room in anxiousness as she saw humza and asfa standing at the balcony looking tensed.

She neared them in shaky steps as she saw another member sitting on the sofa and it was saad! Zaamins best buddy as well as their cousin laiba's husband.

He had a solemn look on his face which made her stomach churn of what was about to come "A-asfa? Humza w-what happened?" She asked her voice hoarse from the crying as she gulped seeing their terrified look.

Both husband and wife exchanged glances as saad sighed heavily and he stood up facing aala who was shaking in anxiousness "Do you know where is zaam?" She asked in a voice that sounded like it was not her own.

Saad had flewed to California last night to attend the party but he was late and he looked at aala's eyes and what he said next almost made aala stumble in her feet as humza caught her quick.

"Zaam is in the hospital in New York!"

Aala was at loss of words as silent tears escaped her wide eyes as she fumbled to make a sentence out of her mouth he's in a hospital? In a hospital but why ?

"I-I H-how? I-i mean w-why?" She asked him not being able to overcome the shock which blasted on her head and how the heck he's in New york when last night he was with them in L.A.

Humzas heart clenched seeing her sister in so much distress, he rubbed her back "His dad had a heart attack last night!" Saad continued as another bomb blasted on her but she sighed atleast zaamin was alright "and how's he?" She asked in a shaky voice.

"Doctors were keeping him in observation that was the last I heard from zaamin, he flewed to New york yesterday night after her cousin aleena called!" Saad narrated and he skipped the whole story of how zaamin survived from almost losing his life.

How much pain does zaamin has to bear she thought as she cried but she wiped her tears fast no one knew what exactly happened between aala and zaamin but they just knew that they had a disagreement and the air was thick around them.

"I want to see him, I have to see him I-im flying back!" She told as asfa rubbed her back "we all are going to see uncle sis in fact we were about to inform you and we're leaving in 2 hours!" She told her gently as aala rushed to her room to pack.

          

Saad closed his as what happened last night came to his mind

Flashback..

Zaamins hand slipped from the rock when someone caught his hand that he almost stumbled, he looked up to see saad holding his hand "what the hell zaam try to climb up!" He urged in sheer distress as his weight was pulling him down, zaamin grunted in pain as he tried to hold the rock with sheer pain and after so many tries he was successful that saad managed to drag him up as they both fell on the ground gasping for air.

Saad sat up and looked at the dishelved form of his best buddy who didn't seem to be in a right state of mind "what madness had possessed you that you were ready to give up on your life? And how the hell you fell from the cliff!" He yelled not being able to keep his temper in check.

Saad just landed on California all the way from Canada but when he tried to reach zaamin he was not picking up and when he called humza he told that aala is looking for zaamin and he's not picking his phone.

Saad knew his plan that zaamin was going to propose today and a worried look crossed his features when he tried to connect the dots it was almost after midnight, he called samar their another bestfriend who was a tech geek and asked to trace zaamins location.

Thank allah that zaamins phone was on that samar found his location in a fraction of few minutes and saad drove as fast as he can despite being jetlagged.

When he reached the cliff area he saw zaamins  ar parker but he was no where to be found he ran here and there and when he reached the edge of the cliff he saw his coat lying on the ground that made his stomach churn in fear.

When he heard his grunt he immediately rushed towards him to help him up.

Zaamin just couldn't believe that he was on the verge of dying but he got saved, his lord didn't let him down "it was an accident!" Waa the only thing he said as he sat up wincing in pain as his bruised hand bleed.

"S*it man your hand is bleeding we need to go to the doctors!" Saad was rambling in fear but zaamin looked like he was in a different world saad paused for a second as he made him look at him as asked "Are you ok bud?" And that was enough for saad to see tears in his bestfriends eyes.

He was heartbroken!

He hugged zaamin tight he was so angry but he didn't want to make it more harder for zaamin "she doesn't feel the same towards me!" He told him in a dejected voice as a humorless laugh escaped his lips but saad knew better "im damn sure she's just confused bud!" He tried his best to assure her zaamin was about to reply when zaamins phone rang for another it was ringing from the past how many hours he didn't knew.

Saad took his phone from the coat lying on the ground and he was shocked to aleena on the other side but their was 20 missed calls from her and 30 were from aala.

He attended the call and was shocked to hear the grave news "zaam uncle h-had a heart attack and he's currently being monitored by the chief doctors his condition is not stable!" Saad said in a small voice but zaamin heard it fine.
