He dragged Kazeem with his collar until they reached outside the pub. His men surrounded them with the gun on the point.

“What happened to you Al'akh? Why you are beating me like this? What I have did to you?” Kazeem was shivering in anger after seeing him all right and yelling in pain. Before he could open his mouth further, Ikhlakh punched him badly in his stomach.

Kazeem ogled out some blood from his mouth. He fell down on earth, again tried to stand up but Ikhlakh did not give him time and before he could stand he punched him on his back with his elbow and he again fell down on the earth.

Kazeem fell down with loud thud on the floor. His entire body was covered with dust and blood droplets.

“You are asking me what you have done to me? I should have asked you that … what I have done to you?” he screeched on last word.

“Tell me you bastard that why you have planned my accident?” Ikhlakh was beating him furiously.

After ten minutes of continuing fighting they both took a pause. Both were panting hardly. Suddenly Ikhlakh grabbed his collar from both of his hands and looked angrily in his eyes.

“Tell me why you betrayed me? What I have done to you?” He jerked him back and tried to take out his gun to shoot him.

“Yeah…. Yeah…. yeah, I know what else you will do rather than killing me. I know you are the great Ikhlakh Khan, the mighty Don. Nobody can dare to harm you or even touch you with his finger.” Kazeem spat at him mockingly.

“You know what, this is what I hate about you. Yes, you are my big brother but how do you treat me? There is no difference between me and your men. I am the second authority of this crime world but I have to bow down in front of you. Why….” He screamed.

“I have to beg in front of you for everything but here our sweet sister always get everything before she speaks. Why this discrimination Al'akh?” he kicked on the bare surface on the ground and punched on his own knees with closed fists.

“You want me to become a puppet for yours but no I will never be like that." Kazeem was huffing. "Ok let’s make a deal.” Now the frustrated Kazeem was looking at him with filthy smile.

“What deal?” Ikhlakh finally opened his mouth who was listening his rubbish silently.

“Do the partitions of this business and I will not come back to you to beg anything.” He looked at him in ridiculous way.

“You know what, now, I have a feeling of disgust for you when I think you are my blood brother. I never thought that you will pay me off like that for my love and affection. But I am happy that I got to know this early.” He spoke in loud but firm tone.

“But listen carefully, do whatever you want to do, I will not be going to give you a single penny anymore.” Ikhlakh poked in his chest with his index finger and stormed out from that place with long strides.

Kazeem growled in anger, standing alone over there and pulled his hairs in frustration.

Ikhlakh Khan reached at his residence where Dina was waiting for them anxiously. She was pacing in the living room continuously and dialing Kazeem's phone number which was not in reach for the moment. Suddenly she saw Iķhlakh entering in the home.

“What happened to you Al'akh? Are you alright?” She checked him from top to toe by moving her eyes all over his body.

“I was so afraid that something bad happened to you?” she started sobbing and hugged him tightly.

“Don’t worry my angel, nothing would happen to me until I would allow to anything. It was just a situation in which we all got entangled. But it showed me the true faces of everyone.” He sad with tired face. Dina looked at him and narrows her brows to understand what just he said. She tried to figure out his meaning.

“Where is Kazeem? I have not seen him since you left for Netanya. Did you meet with him? I informed him too about your accident and he said that he is going to do investigation for that and look for you. But not returned yet.” Dina asked in quizzical mode.

Ikhlakh didn’t say a single word and was quietly listening to her as he wanted to calm down his nerves. He was thinking of about the events which had happened today. His face was looking gloomy.

“Al'akh what are you thinking about? Did you listen to me?” Dina asked him with frowns. Her big bright eyes were staring at his face to find the reason if he lost his mind.

“He has nothing to say? Why are you asking to him?” Kazeem roars angrily when entered in to the living room.

Their conversation broke with sudden instance. Dina looked at him with shock.

“What happened to you? Who did this to you?” Dina runs towards him when she saw his poor state and mucky clothes. his eyes were blued and cheeks were swollen.

“Why are you asking to me? Ask your big brother who did this to me?” Kazeem was throwing daggers from his eyes in his direction.

Dina was looking hell confused that what is going on between them. She looked at both of them while jerking her shoulders.

“Dina you move in your room we will talk tomorrow.” By saying that Ikhlakh stood up from his place and walked in his room.

Kazeem too stormed in his room after spitting at the back of him. Dina was standing dumbfounded and looked angrily at Kazeem for his action. By this she figured out that something is not good between them but what is it all about, nothing was coming in her mind. She too moved to her room thinking that it’s better to ask them in the morning about this matter till then both will be cooled down.

In the morning Takisha got the call from the doctor that they have done with their first operation and it was quite successful.

“Oh, it’s a wonderful news Doctor. Please do inform me if you have any requirements.” Dina purred with joyful smile. After getting the report she hung up the phone. She walked out of the room to look for Ikhlakh Khan.

“Assalam Al'akh, how are you today?” she places her hand on his and looks at him with concern.

“How is your patient? Any updates.” He bypassed the question busy in eating his breakfast.

“Oh, that one is doing good. The operation was successfully done. Now they are observing him for next 48 hours until he gets conscious.” Dina shares the information what she heard from the doctor.

She looks at the direction of the room of Kazeem and asks the butler, “Where is Kazeem? Did he wake up?”

“Sorry Malikat Jamal Alshabab (young miss) we didn’t check upon him. As he always gets furious when we wake him up from his sleep unnecessarily.” Alkhadam (Butler) said with guilty looking down at his feet.

“OK, please help me to make a plate of breakfast for him. I am going to see him in his room.” She speaks with smile to him which makes him bit relaxed and nodes towards him.

He quickly went back into the kitchen and brought out with one plate with the some food.

She took the plate and went upstairs in Kazeem’s room to take a look. She knocked on the door and waited for it being opened. But there was no answer, she again knocked but all silence was there. She pushed the door opened and went inside.

Kazeem was still sleeping and entire room was looking like a mess. She kept the plate on the side table and sat besides him on the bed. She moved her fingers in his soft silky brown hairs. Kazeem suddenly opened his eyes with a jolt by her touch.

She smiled looking at him. “What is this Al'akh? You are looking too messy and what the hell you have done with your room?” She asked him with concern and stood up from the bed and started picking up the thing to keep them on the place.

“Did brother send you to check upon me?” he asked wryly to her while keeping frowns on his eyebrows. he was still in his bed half covered with duvet.

Dina was stunned by his question and turned to look at him to find the reason behind his question.

“Its not like that brother, I came her by myself. You were not there on breakfast table so I thought I should look for you. Nothing else. You are thinking too much.” Dina gave him a smile to calm down him.

“Now come I have brought your favorite breakfast, look. Quickly get up and freshen up. I am waiting for you here only.” She dragged him out from his bed and pushed him in the washroom and sit on the bed after mending it. She was looking here and there in the room thinking about his brother that how messy he is?

Though Kazeem doesn’t like her much as his sister but still her cuteness always works to melt him from the bottom of his heart. He has to obey her when she talks with him with love and warmth.

He came out after 10 minutes from the washroom. Then he sat besides her and started eating his breakfast. She was looking at him with lopsided smile.

“Brother, whatever happened yesterday can you please forget this. I don’t know much that what is cooking up in between you two but by seeing at both of yours conditions I am sure some thing big issue is there. Can you please forget your grudges and differences with each other.” Dina spoke in pleading way.

She dreamed of a happy family with full of love and respect for each other. But here everything was going wrong and she wanted to resolute it quickly.

Kazeem stopped eating and put the spoon angrily in plate. She gasped while looking at his actions.

“See you have to gain his trust on you after whatever happened in between both of you.” She said after collecting all her courage. She swallowed a lump of saliva as she was fearing that he might scold her for this.
