I stared at ammi who gave me an unreadable expression. 

I wanted to know how she was under my protection!

"Ammi-" i said getting up from my prayer mat. 

"Kaif- I" she said but I cut her off

"I need to talk to you- please just a little explaining!" I said and she nodded

We went to the living room and set on the couch

"Ammi i want to know the whole reason why she was here in the first place!" I said and ammi nodded

Zaki set by me as he squeezed my hand. 

"Hasti had ran away from her home in India- she did not want to get married- so Maya got her here, then the family found out about them and she put Hasti with us. Reason being they would not dare to harm her when she was with Kaif Shahaan. Since you had bodyguards and media everywhere you went, they could not do anything to Hasti. That was how she was under your protection. River and Caspian knew this coz they had fought with her fathers hired people. I am sorry Kaif- but i knew she had to leave today!" said ammi

I stared at her in shock. If she knew, she could have at least told me!
"Ammi why did you NOT tell me!?" i questioned

"Because if i did, yo would be hurt- and i did not want my son to be hurt Kaif- I am a mother! I don't want to see my son in pain!" she replied tears forming in her eyes, visible in the dim lit room. 

"Ammi look at me now- I am a effing mess! how can you not tell me!?!" I asked ammi running my hand through my messy hair. 

"Kaif you know- I- I really don't know- I did not know you would react like thi-" she said, now the tears were running down her face. 

I quickly got up and hugged her. 

I really hated it when ammi shed tears. She had, had enough tear shedding in her life, no more. Definitely not coz of me. 

"Ammi, its okay- she is gone for good- she said so!" I said rubbing her back. 

Zaki came and set by her. 

"Ammi, you want her as your daughter-in-law?" he asked

I looked up to him. 

"What are you doing?" i mouthed him but he just nodded

"Ammi, do you?" he asked ammi in a calm voice

"Ye-yes" ammi replied choking 

"good to go then we look for her!" he said getting up. 

i got up. I guess i need to tell them. 

"She said not to look for her!"I said and they gave me a puzzled look. 

I handed them the iphone that was in my pocket. 

Zaki switched it on and watched the videos. 

After minutes of silence and sniffs and tears, Zaki switched off the iphone 

"Where did you get this?" he asked me

"In her room, with a note addressed to me-" I said and he nodded

"So i guess we won't look for her-" he said

I turned to ammi and she was staring off in space. 

"Ammi- Ammi-" I called out to her 

she did not answer. 

I shook her. 

"Huh?" she asked me

"You zoned out-" replied Zaki

I looked at her face, pretty but worn out

"Ammi whats bothering you?" I asked her

She turned to me. 

"Kaif- I- I want you to go get her!" she said

"What? she just said not to look for her ammi!" i said and she shook her head

I sighed

"Ammi she had said not to-" I say but she beats me to it

"Kaif-" her voice held authority "You will go to India- infact- all of us will!" she said

"What?" asked Zaki shocked

"Yes we will go get Hasti- for all we know she might be in trouble!" replied ammi

I stared at her. My mother was about to go to India, a place she never wanted to go all her life- just coz of me? 

"ammi, you don't need to-" I start saying but she quietens me down

'I know what i am doing- I am going to get my daughter-in-law so move it!" she snapped.

I looked at her. Whoah!

"Bhai lets just go- she will hit us if we don't" said Zaki and I nodded

"Okay ammi, your wish is my command!" i said bowing down and she laughed

'My brave son, let us go to India, book the tickets!" she said

"Why tickets when we have private jets?" I smirked and she smiled. 

I got up and said my salaam to her before heading to my room. 

It was 4am in the morning i think. I checked the watch an gasped like an idiot. It was 5.30am. Woah.

I bathe, prayed Fajr and then set on my bed thinking. 

Hasti Raahat- I am coming to get you! 

I smirked. Ya Allah just let everything be fine!

I prayed the silent prayer and drifted off to my morning sleep.
