10.

Hana woke up late the next morning, she hurriedly got ready and when she reached down . She was informed that Dr Shehryar has already left for hospital.  She thanked God for small mercies. 

She took a cab and left for work. Breakfast was already taken off the table. She wasn't expecting it at the first place, she thought. 

She reached her department just on time and started with her duties . 

Dr Abdul was apparently waiting  for her . She gave him a cold shoulder. He was puzzled but didn't mind much. 

She decided to maintain a safe distance from him for the sake of both of them.

She politely declined his coffee and later, lunch offers. 

She was somehow not feeling very chatty or friendly. She was just doing her work silently.

Whole department noticed the sudden change in her behaviour but they ignored thinking that maybe she is overworked or tired. 

Hana avoided going out of her department and risking any sudden encounter with HIM.

She ordered her meal inside her small cubicle. 

She only went out to take the final rounds of the admitted patients before leaving the hospital.

She paid the cab and ringed the bell for his door. Martha opened the door bewildered and when she saw her ..she was relieved. 

'What happened Martha..' Hana asked worried. 

'Dr Hana , Hamza fell from the table and suffered a cut on his forehead..Can you please see him ? ' she requested . 'We are trying to call Dr Shehryar, but he is unreachable ' she added.

'Who is Hamza? ' Hana asked.

' He is Dr Shehryar's son..u must have seen him..he came to your room yesterday ', Martha explained. 

'Oh yes..I remember ..Please take me to him ' 

They both hurried to his room.

He was crying and asking for his aunt. 

It clenched Hana's heart that the one he was asking for will never come back.

There was a small cut wound over his left eyebrow.

Hana always kept chocolates and candies in case she encounters any young patient..She searched inside her bag and found a chocolate. 

' Oh look what I have found here ...its a chocolate..its for a boy named Hamza ....who is Hamza...Hamza...?? Hana started acting.

Hamza stopped crying and immediately  raised his hand and said ,' I am Hamza '

' Hamza ' Hana exclaimed happily ,' this is your chocolate' 

Hamza took it with a smile and started opening it.

'What happened to your head my dear?? ' Hana asked .

' I was trying to take a toy from that rack and I fell ' he said with teary eyes. 

' I will make it better ..ok ?' , Hana said lovingly and kissed his cheeks.

He nodded and started eating the sweet. 

By the time he finished eating the chocolate, Hana also  finished cleaning and bandaging his wound. 

'Where is his mother ? ' Hana later asked Martha. 

' She lives in US with her new husband ' she replied  .

Hana chose not to ask anything more. 

'Yara mam used to care of him but after her death..the  child is left alone ' she added.

Hana felt guilty even though her brother was innocent . 

' What about Dr Shehryar?' Hana asked.

' After Mam left,  He has buried himself in  his work and somehow he has changed a lot since then..not in a positive way' Martha replied. 

Hana couldn't agree more. 

Hana kissed the boy again and left for her room after finishing her task . She bathed and  changed into fresh cloths. 

She finished her coffee and was just about to call her mother , when she heard a knock. 

Her heart skipped a beat..she than deduced that HE will never knock but rather barge in. 

So she decided to check and opened the door.

Hamza was standing outside with his block game.

'Hana Aunty , will you play with me ? Nanny is sleeping. ' he asked innocently. 

' Ofcourse Hamza , we are friends now and Friends always play with each other  ', Hana said happily and brought him inside the room. 

They played for an hour or so when his nanny came and took him away . 

Hana felt sorry for the young boy..and decided that she will try to help him as much as possible.  

Hana asked for her dinner inside her room .

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

That day Shehryar didn't return home until morning next day. 

Again he changed and  left for work , before even seeing his son.

Later Martha told her that it's quite common.

Hana was thankful for the periodic respite from him . 

She also got ready and left for work. 

Shehryar has assigned a driver and a car for her use , after that 'being late' incident.

She started her work and was busy when she received a call from her mother .

' Hana ...my child ..Police came to our home and took Yusuf with them..Child can you come back plz ' Her mother was scared and sobbing. 

'Mom..relax okkk...I have already hired a detective , let me call him right away..ok ? ' Hana reassured her mother and closed the call.

Hana dialled Mr Chan's number and told him everything regarding Yusuf s arrest. 

Around half n hr later she received a call from him again.

'Dr Hana , unfortunately it's a non bailable warrant..Someone from victims family has used their contacts to tighten the noose around your brother 's beck ' he informed her. 

She ended the call after listening to him. 

' How could he?? He promised that he will give a fair chance to my brother and even after giving me hell for these past days ..He still went back on his words ' she thought despicably.  

        ************************************

She decided to confront him and walked towards his office.

She knocked his door and entered his room. She was uncaring of any danger she might end up with.  She only thought about her family.

He was bent over a file and when he saw her,  his eyes shined and a sly smile appeared as if he was expecting her. 

As their eyes met ..their last meeting flashed in front of her eyes and she lowered her gaze. 

'The..the p..police took my brother away ' she said stuttering.

'Wasnt that our deal? You wanted him to be tried by the police .Now what ? ' He asked casually playing with the paper weight and observing her.

' Our deal was about giving a fair chance and fair investigation.' she said controlling her anger. 

' What do you mean ? I am not being fair ' he was enjoying her state now.

' Applying for a non bailable warrant for my brother ...do u think it's fair ?  ' She accused him . 

' I am not liking this tone !' He warned her.

'How will he be able to prove his innocence from the prison cell ?'  She continued. 

'Not my problem ' he said and dismissed her.

'Dr Shehryar please..you promised for a fair investigation' she came forward and said desperately.  

' Come here .' he flickered a finger at her. 

She hesitantly walked upto him.

'If you want extra favours from me..you need to work for them ' , He grabbed her hand and made her sit on his lap.

He began caressing her breasts with one hand and  started kissing her neck.

'What do u want ? ' he asked busy caressing her body.

'Can you please ask them to release him on bail , my mom is alone ? ' she said. 

' What do you have to offer? ' he said while kissing her jaw now. 

'What do you want ? ' she looked him hesitantly.
