Isra: arey ni... I am coming, she hugged her family one by one and rushed out taking her bag.

Mr. Hayat: Iss ghar ki jaan hai Isra.

All agreed and continued eating.

There was darkness all over the room, a man tied to chair with ropes was trying hard to get out of grip. He was bleeding badly but still he was trying his best to escape after a lot of struggle he freed himself and rushed to the door. As he opened the door the light hit his eyes and he realised its day time. He smiled to himself thinking he has escaped and ran towards another door which led to some stairs. He rushed upwards thinking that he is escaping. He was limping but still didn't stopped.
