Flashback 

Author's pov 

The car was about to hit Shayari but it stopped just a little bit far away from her. 

Shayari has closed her eyes tightly in fear of being hit by the car. She waited for the pain to come but nothing happened… Still she didn't open her eyes. 

The persons inside the car came outside and looked at little Shayari. Suddenly she stopped feeling the rain drops on her body 

"What are you doing here like this beta (child)? You should not be here like this at this late. Where are your parents? Or guardian? " one of the man Asked her 

Shayari opened her eyes and looked at the men standing in front of her. One of them has hold an umbrella on her head 

"My khala jaan (aunt) asked me *sneeze* to wait here. She is coming. I am *sneeze* just waiting for her but *sneeze* she hasn't came yet so *Sneeze*I was just going a little bit far so *Sneeze* she can see me easily." Little Shayari replied while sneezing between 

Both men look at each other and understand that her aunt has left her here to never come back because if she was coming she would not have left the little girl alone here like this in the first place. 

" What is your Name beta?" The same man asked her as the other one stared at her without blinking 

"Shayari Firoz uncle," Shayari managed to reply without sneezing 

"Bhai should we take her inside? It's raining heavily and she is already drenched. Her aunt has purposely left her here but why in front of our mansion that's the question." The man said to his brother 

"Take her with us." The other man said 

"No no i won't go *Sneeze* with you. My khala jaan *sneeze* is coming." Little Shayari says again between sneezing. 

"Beta see how hard it's raining how will your khala jaan come? And you are standing in front of our house only. We will take you inside and once your khala jaan comes you can go with her after the rain will stop. Sounds good?" The man asked her 

"But I don't know you both, and we should not go with any strangers whom we don't know" Shayari said with a pout 

"That's not a problem let me introduce you myself. I'm Ryan Sheerazi and he is my brother Azlan Sheerazi. Now you know us, can we go now?" Ryan asked and Shayari nodded 

Ryan and Azlan took her inside their mansion where Azisha was waiting for both of them. As it's quite late she was tense for them. Though she knows they will be fine but still she can't help it and the weather isn't helping her at all

" Chachu (uncle), Papa you both are….."Azisha stopped as she looked at the small figure of Shayari 

Ps. Azisha calls Azlan papa and Adwitiya Ma and her own parents ammi and abbu.

" Shayari! "Azisha said with a shocked expression 

" Azisha Api! (endearment for elder sister) "Shayari shrieked and run towards her leaving Ryan's hand 

Azisha hugged her ignoring the fact That Shayari is fully drenched and her clothes will be drenched as well. 

" Where were you Shayari? We tried to find you but no one knew where you were. "Azisha said 

" Do you know her Azisha? "Azlan asked in his ever so serious voice.. 

" Yes papa she is Shayari. She used to learn dance in our dance academy. But from the past 3 and half months she stopped coming. We tried to find out about her but couldn't find her. Where did you Find her?" Azisha asked still hugging Shayari 

"She used to learn in our academy? Is she part of us?" Ryan asked and Azisha nodded in yes silently 

By us he means a part of the gang. Almost all girls from their gang go to learn dance at their academy that was opened by Adwitiya and Alisha for free of cost for the kids who can't pay the fees. 

"Her aunt left her here alone and now I can connect the dots why. Ryan does a background search on her and tells her everything about her as soon as possible. And yes Call the guards who were on duty today outside of the mansion. I will deal with them personally. "Azlan said coldly 

Azlan is a person of few words; he doesn't need to talk a lot to express himself. His few words are enough to express him. 

He was a stone hearted man until Adwitiya his Doll his wife came in his life. She changed him for good but with her she took that changed Azlan with her. He is only sane because of his kids. He loves them and that's the reason he is still dealing with everything. Otherwise he would have killed himself after she died. He loves her very much. For her he crossed every limit and broke every single rule of his own life. 

And one of the things Azlan hate to the core is child abuse and pedophiles. His own sister was raped and killed in front of his eyes as a result he hated rapists and abusers. 

He can forgive any other crime once but not rape and abuse. 

"Shayari! Shayari wake up!" Azisha said when she didn't found any movements in Shayari and find her unconscious in her hold 

"She has passed out because of a cold . Take her to your room and Change her clothes. Give her my princess's clothes for now. I will send the doctor." Azlan said and for once his cold eyes warmed a bit for that poor soul 

He felt an uncontrollable attraction for that girl. The urge to protect her from all evils is too high. She is almost the same age as his own daughter. 

Shayari's face makes him remember his Doll Adwitiya. 

Ryan carried An unconscious Shayari in his arms and took her in Azisha's room. 

Azisha changed her clothes once Ryan left and made her wear zeenat's clothes. 

Shayari's body was cold and that made Azisha worried for her very much. 

Soon the doctor came inside and checked Shayari. 

And give her injection and tell them that she will be fine. 

All three of them sighed when they heard that. 

The boys are out for their school trip and Zeenat is sleeping as it's late night. 

"Azisha takes care of her. And inform us if something happens." Azlan said and Azisha replied with a yes 

Azlan and Ryan came out of her room and Ryan left to gather information about Shayari and Azlan decided to settle some things. 

The guards who were supposed to guard the mansion entrance were summoned. 

They know that Azlan has summoned them which means they are as good as dead. 

"Sir you called us." One of them said gathering some courage 

"Who was in charge of today's duty for the mansion entrance?" He asked them coldly 

"we were sir." they replied in unison 

"then what the fuck you All were doing when someone left a little girl in front of the mansion? What if someone had tress passed inside? Azisha and My princess were alone here without any men. Yes azisha is trained in self defense but what would have happened if really someone attacked? "Azlan screamed at them with anger 

The vein of his neck is popping out in anger. 

" Sir the weather was bad." One of them dared to say and was instantly shot dead 

Azlan is not a man of patience anymore for the ones who are careless for their work. He never was on that note. 

"If next time i found out something like this happened then believe me no one will find a trace of you all. Now fuck off from here. And yes give me the footage of cctv from the entrance. Past 1 and half hours will be sufficient." Azlan barked angrily and they ran from there leaving the dead man there 

Azlan threw a flower vase in anger. 

Anything could have happened with Shayari she could have been kidnapped or get hit by his car if not Ryan stopped the car on time. 

He is feeling angry, the reason is unknown to him that the little girl has shook his cold heart badly. 

He goes in his room but not before ordering someone to clean the mess he created. 

He changed his clothes and checked on his daughter who is sleeping peacefully. 

He kissed her forehead lovingly and left her room. 

When he reached his room he found his man there with the footage. 

He checked it and saw how a lady left Shayari there alone. 

He clenched his fist and ordered his man to find this lady. 

He needs to know why his man's daughter is left like this. 

Azlan made a drink for himself and was about to have it When Azisha came there. 

She shoots him an angry look for drinking but he just gives her a shrug. 

Only his kids can give him this look or ever question him or scold him. Including Azisha and Zaroon. Not to mention Ryan and Zyan. 

"Papa you promised to not drink!" Azisha exclaimed 

"Promises are meant to be broken now tell me what brings you here." He asked her and Azisha shook her head in annoyance 

"I got this letter from Shayari's bag. It's written by her khala jaan." Azisha told him 

He took the latter from her and read it. 

"Mr. Sheerazi I know I'm doing wrong but I'm helpless. I am Shayari's aunt but I can't keep her with me. Her father died while working for you and according to him Shayari was about to be taken care of but nothing like that happened. She got nothing and became a burden on my husband. He doesn't want her and I can't go against him. Her mother is dead long back she has no one. Please I'm begging you to take her to your shelter. You are a rich man and you run many organizations please take her under you. 

Her father is Shahid Firoz and mother Suhani Firoz. "

The letter ended there itself. 

Azlsn crushed it in his palm but then a doubt came in his mind. 

His men are given all facilities because they risk their lives and if something happens to them then their family falls under his care. 

She should be taken care of by his men and given a good amount of money. 

Then why did her aunt say that she got nothing? 

"Azisha you go and take care of her." Azlan said and Azisha left from there but not before snatching the glass from his hand and throwing the liquor in dustbin 

Azlan shook his head and decided to not drink for her sake. 

"Bhai! See what I found." Ryan said as he barged in his brother's room

"what?" He asked 

"Shayari Is Shahid's daughter. Shahid is the one who became the human bomb and chose his death in exchange for a good life for his only daughter. And her mother was a part of Adwitiya Bhabhi's dance teacher group. But somehow his daughter went missing and they didn't find her." Ryan finished. 

Azlan understood something was wrong here. According to her aunt Shayari got nothing and According to their information Shayari was missing. 

He knows one of them is wrong and he has a doubt that his men are wrong this time. 

" Call the incharge tomorrow, I will talk with him myself. I have made sure that none of my men or their family get deprived of anything. They work for us taking risks in their lives and if someone is playing with it then they have to face the consequences of it. "Azlan told Ryan who agreed with his brother 

Next day in early morning the incharge came and after Azlan inquired about this matter he accepted that he did wrong and didn't give any money or anything to Shayari and even snatched Shahid's property as well. 

In anger Azlan shot him but didn't kill him he will torture him slowly and painfully for backstabbing him. 

After that he went to meet Shayari who was awake by now and was asking for her Khala jaan. 

"Shayari," Azlan called her name 

Shayari looked at him with tears in her eyes. She wants to go from here to her khala jaan. 

"Shayari will you tell us how you stayed after your Abbu left?" He asked choosing his words wisely 

Shayari told him everything that happened including all the beatings and curses she got from her Uncle after Azisha told her that she can tell him. 

Azlan got really angry after hearing everything and decided to meet her uncle and aunt soon. 

"Shayari beta your khala jaan won't come to take you back she left you here so we can take care of you. She has left a letter and you can see it if you don't believe me. I have no reason to lie to you." Azlan told her and Shayari became quite 

She didn't ask for once saying that Azlan is lying. 

She believed his words because deep down she knew that something like that can happen after whatever her uncle did. She just didn't want to believe it. 

" Where will I go now?" Shayari asked him 

"you will stay with us here in this house. We will be your family." Azlan said and Shayari looked at him in shock so did Azisha 

Seeing Azlan like this is a shock for Azisha. 

"You all will be my family?" Shayari asked and Azisha said yes 

Shayari didn't understand whether she should be happy that she got a new family or sad that her khala jaan left her. 

Nevertheless she accepted these new changes in her life. 

Zeenat jumped in happiness when she saw Shayari; they both are good friends. 

And when she got to know that she would stay with them her happiness had no bound. Azlan thought she might not accept it quite easily as she is his daughter and like him she doesn't like sharing anything but his daughter shocked him. 

He keeps forgetting that she is Adwitiya's daughter as well and she raised her kids well until she was alive. 

Ryan and Zyan also accepted her happily after all who can not accept this cute girl. 

Ryan and Zyan became her chachu and Azlan her Bade Abbu just like Zarun called him. 

Everyone accepted her open heartedness but the boys are still unaware of this whole ordeal and Azlan has doubts that his sons especially Aarhan can make a fuss about it because it was Azlan's decision but he was ready for it. 

He has accepted Shayari with his heart as his daughter only in a day just like he did for Adwitiya one look at her and he knew that she is his and she will be his wife and mother of his future kids. She will be his life. 

He swore to protect and love Shayari just like he does with other kids.
