She was about to move ahead to the stairs when Emaad called her. She stopped and turned. He got out of the car."Here," he said, stretching his hand in front of her. She looked at his palm, confused, and then her eyes lit up with hope and a smile. It was her ring. She took the ring instantly because it was her everything."Next time, if ever something bothers you, you will come to me. Is that clear?" he asked.She nods.He smiled and put his hand on her head and then he left.**************The home landline was continuously ringing. She rushed towards the landline and answered the call.It was Aunt Eliza.“Hey dear, are you okay?” asked the aunt.“Yeah, I am fine aunt, when are you coming back?” she asked, trying hard not to cry.“What happened dear? You seem upset?” asked Eliza. She controlled her tears.“No, nothing, I am fine,” she said, smiling forcefully.“Are you getting bored? Are you upset? I am sorry dear, the meeting has gone a bit longer,” said Eliza.“No aunt, it's okay,”
“What happened, Saliha? Why do you look so upset?” asked Hunza. “I have seen you upset for ages,” she was concerned. She was placing her books in the college's locker. Saliha was looking for her books, but she was unable to find them. Saliha was at the age of frustration. She needed a friend to tell. She took a deep breath and told her everything. “What?” Hunza claps her hand on her mouth. “Yeah and he has been teasing me for weeks,” she said, exhausted. “That’s why you looked so upset when going with that prick?” asked Hunza. “Yeah,” she nodded. “And why did that boy beat him?” asked Hunza. “Do you know that guy?” she asked. Hunza was unable to see Roman's face that day. She felt her heart drop to the stomach. “No, I don’t know him, maybe because of some personal reasons he beat him,” she said, looking away. Hunza opened her mouth to say something when someone came to sit beside her. She looked at him instantly and her expression turned stone. “How are you to Saliha?” asked
*****************“And you why you have not told me before you know these pricks?” asked Hunza, angrily to Hania. She looked at her sheepishly.“Not all of them, I only know Zaaryab, he is my best friend, actually we came to terms when we first met,” she said.“How did you come to know him, you are new to this town?” asked Hunza.“Well, it is quite a long story,” she said while taking a deep breath.Few months backShe was new to the town but she was used to it as her father always gets his transfer from one city to another. This time they have arrived here in this small established town and within a week she got an admission to this college.It was a habit to her she always kept chocolates with her, she was indeed a very bubbly and joyful girl who did not care about anything. She was walking towards the entrance of school when a tall girl who had black curly hair appear
“What did you?” he asked while clenching his teeth. “I, I didn't know, I…” she said, hesitant. He opened his mouth to say something when Haeem cried his name, “Roman, don’t waste time, I and Zain are going to shop,” he shouted from the room. He looked at Saliha while clenching his teeth. “Have you told your friends about it?” he asked. She gulped. She knew what he meant by this. “I, I did not,” she said. He gawked at her for a while and then he walked away. She was staring at his strong back. She walked towards the room. Hania was reading the book she had brought with her. “What?” asked Hunza, smirking. “About what?” she asked. “Between you and him?” she asked while pointing at the door. She looked behind but no one was there. “What are you talking about?” she asked, shrugging. “Don’t make us fools, we saw sexual tension,” said Hunza. “What?” Saliha said, half-laughing. “Yeah, what were you two up to?” she asked. “No way, no.no.” she refused. “Well, that will be f
She turned instantly but at the same moment her towel fell to her knees, she grabbed it on time and held it tight on her breasts. He looked away. “What are you doing here?” she asked, embarrassed. “This is my room, I stay here whenever I come here,” said Emaad, annoyed. “What are you doing here, naked?” he asked, angrily putting pressure on word ‘Naked’. “I came here to take a shower,” she said. Her clothes were on the bed and he was standing next to the bed. He walked ahead, grabs outfits, and gave them to her without looking at her. He walks out of the room. She stared at the closed door for a while and her heart beats in strange manner. ********* She was preparing breakfast as Martha was not feeling well today so she asked for a leave. She decided to cook. It had been more than six months since she had cooked something. She was humming while cooking when he entered the kitchen and looked at her from the corner of his eyes while walking towards the fridge, she had put on hea
“So he is your cousin?” asked Kashan. “No,” she said instantly. “Then?” he asked, curious. “Our parents were friends,” she said. “Oh, so that’s how you are living here. Where are your parents?” he asked. “My mum is dead,” she said, sadly. “Oh, sorry, I am sorry for your loss,” he said while looking inside her eyes. She looked so tense and upset. “No, it’s okay, I do miss my mom in my life, but I never met her, she died shortly after I was born,” she said while wiping her tears away. “And your dad?” he asked. “I don’t know, grandma has never said a word about him, maybe he is dead as well,” she said. He took a deep breath. “Come on, let's go up, the girls must have finished writing by now,” she said, and walked towards her room in order to change topic. Her room was across from Roman’s. There was loud music playing in the room. She took a deep breath while passing by his room, followed by Kashan. “Where were you two?” asked Hania, mischievously. “It’s nothing like you were
She felt her body go numb. He was staring into her eyes, expressionlessly. “Who is he?” he asked, angrily. She looked around and gulped. “Ka…kash…kashan…he is Hunza’s brother,” she said, afraid. He clenched his teeth. "I fucking know his name," he growled. She had gone startled. “What was he doing with you outside at that time?” he asked in an eerie voice. His voice went hoarse. “I, I was feeling panic, he took me out for fresh air,” she said, avoiding his eyes. He tightened his fist. “You can go to some room if you want to fuck with him, but you have to show your friends,” he said, angrily. His eyes were turning red due to anger. She felt as if he slapped her in the face. His words were not only harsh, but they were like broken glass that hit her heart. Pain could be seen in her eyes. “What? What are you looking at me like that? Do you think I don’t know? I have already told you that I kept my eyes on you? You think you could fool me around? Have a nice fuck with h
She turned instantly but at the same moment her towel fell to her knees, she grabbed it on time and held it tight on her breasts. He looked away. “What are you doing here?” she asked, embarrassed. “This is my room, I stay here whenever I come here, I stay in this room,” said Ehsan, annoyed. “What are you doing here, naked?” he asked, angrily. “I came here to take a shower,” she said. Her clothes were on the bed and he was standing next to the bed. He walked ahead, grabs outfits, and gave them to her. He walks out of the room. ********* She was preparing breakfast as Martha was not feeling well today so she asked for a leave. She decided to cook. It had been more than six months since she had cooked something. She was humming while cooking when he entered the kitchen and looked at her from the corner of his eyes while walking towards the fridge, she had put on headphones and was busy cooking. Her long knee-length curly hair was wet and the shampoo’s appealing fragrance was spread
“Roman, Roman, Roman. What he wants from me. Why he has to tease me like this? Why? He can’t let me live my life?” she said, annoyed, and kicked a nearby plant. “Saliha,” she heard Hunza’s voice. Hunza was wearing a concerned expressions. “Hunza?” she whispered. Hunza rushed towards her and hugged her. “Oh thank God you are okay, you don’t know how worried I was,” Hunza said. “Hunza, I have to esc…” She was about to complete her sentence when Hunza’s words made her shiver through the spine. “Imran Ali Gardezi and Mrs Gardezi are shot,” Hunza. Saliha felt as if she lost all of her strength to stand. “What? No….no…this can’t be,” she screamed. The students passing by them started looking at them. “It’s true,” Hunza said. “I. I need to go. I need to see them,” Saliha said crying. Hunza and she rushed ahead towards the car. “Hunza, what happened?” Saliha asked Panicked. “Last night someone attacked their house and Mrs Eliza was in front,” said Hunza, crying. Saliha felt she
She woke up after a deep sleep. Recognizing her surroundings; she came to realize that she was not home. She thought she was dreaming but it was the truth. She got down. A frying sound could be heard from the kitchen. She entered the huge modern-style kitchen and found him cooking. “So you can cook?” she asked him smiling. “I am a bachelor; what do you think?” he replies. She chuckled. She found this man very funny and chilling at the same time. “I…I want to talk to you,” she said. He was making chicken and eggs for breakfast. He lowered the stove heat and turned to her. “Go on,” he said. “I am very thankful to you that you offered me a night at your place and security as well. I want to move to one of my friends,” she said. He stared at her for a while and opened his mouth to say something when the main door opened and someone entered. She turned around; a tall boy in his mid-twenties walked in. He seemed tired and his green eyes were screaming his exhaustion. “Kristan, yo
“What are you talking about?” she asked him, expressionlessly. Thanks to her wonderful acting skills she knows how to do it; she was unable to do it because there was AI and a laptop screen between them or else, she knew she could not do such good acting in front of him. He raised an eyebrow and she knew he was not buying it. “I have asked you once and you know I fucking hate repeating things,” he growled. She felt her heart was rushing so fast. “Why the heck you were checking upon his details? Do you think you can easily sneak out under my nose and I won’t know?” he asked annoyed. She had no idea what she had to do in such a situation. She looked around for Eliza but she knew Eliza must be busy making cakes. “Saliha…answer..” he growled again. She knew he was like any bomb that could explode at any time. She looked around again and then she put the laptop lid down. “Don’t you dare to…” his angry voice touched her eardrum giving her chills. Her hands were shaking because she
It has been two weeks since she saw that guy. She does not even know his name. She recently joined the college but she was not excited about it all. She is friends with her brother’s friend and Kashan is her best friend. He tries to express his feelings to her many times but she never feels that way. She does not believe in love after seeing her parent’s marriage, but for the first time in her life, she feels love. Those two different colored eyes were making her heart rush in a manner that she never felt before. “Who is he? Where he could be?” she thought. “I…I am afraid to admit that I am in love,” she felt her heart rush again. “I wish I could see him again,” she assumed. ***********“Have you seen Hala?” asked Hania. “I am afraid I have not. I have found it odd. She is in herself more these days and that makes me worry,” Saliha said. “Relax, she is always like that,” said Hania. “I can see my sister in her Hania. I don’t want her to go through such pain,” said Saliha.“I kno
He was driving while singing a song. It was their favorite song. She started singing along with her brother. “You know what after how long time we are going together?” she asked, smiling. He smiled back. “1 year, 6 months, sixteen days,” he said. She stared at him for a while and then she chuckled. “I am sorry, I was unable to give you time Hala. I know I promised Mom, I promised you to always take care of you,” he said. “Hey, you have been the best brother,” she said. He smiled. They arrived at their usual restaurant. “My treat,” he said. “Usual,” she said, smiling. “You know I have a change of taste, I am practicing veganism,” Hala said. “Since when?” he asked. She stared at him. “Okay, Okay, I know I have to know a lot,” he said. She rolls her eyes. “Order,” he said. She started going through the menu when his phone rang. He answered the call. “Yeah Hunza,” he said. She looked up at her brother from the top of her eye socket.“Oh, don’t worry. I will ask them to
“Ehsan, this most offensive behavior I got from you. I always try to make our engagement work out but you always do something stupid,” Hunza said. “I did something stupid? Hunza, you were talking to him as if he was your boyfriend?” said Ehsan, annoyed. “Since when you have become so possessive?” she asked. Hania was eating pizza peacefully as if she was not listening to them. It was so common for them to fight and then Ehsan brought flowers for her. “Because what mine is mine,” he said. “I am not a product, stop thinking woman is a product,” Hunza snapped and walked off. He stared at her leaving sadly and something happened to his heart. He rushes after her. “Oh now he realizes his mistake,” sings Hunza. Zain enters the café and he walks towards the table where Hania is sitting. “What happened?” he asked. “Usually, they fight and then he goes crazy after seeing her sad,” Hania said. “I wonder, where is our tough boy Ehsan Alvi,” said Zain. “He is in love,” sings Hania. J
He burned down all of the evidence she had and that included tubes of virus she got accidentally in her bag. She was watching all the evidence getting burning, helplessly. He was indeed clever because he knew it all from the beginning. For the first time in her life, she found herself getting trapped in the cage of the devil. “If you dared to tell this to anyone. I am your mighty husband. You know what I mean here,” he said while pointing a finger in front of her nose and then he left. **********Three months later,It had been three weeks since they talked. She either did not try to talk to him. The case was closed and they were back home. She does not want to live here because it reminds her how Roman killed that man. She pretended she was busy and he seemed extremely busy as well. She was working on her project when she heard a car’s horn. She looked out of the glass window. Much to her surprise Imran and Eliza were back. She rushed to the door and hugged them. She just wanted to
The era of the virus was now over and she could finally go back to her college and meet her friends. She was currently living with Hania because she had not seen Roman after that night and he did not come to bring her with him. She was sitting with Hania in the back seat and Zain was driving. They had to pick Hunza as Kashan was out of the station. Saliha's gaze fell on the police station in the corner and something hit her head.“Guys, I need to buy something, could you drop me here?” she asked.“Thing from here? But Saliha we are already getting late,” said Zain.“It’s urgent,” Saliha said.He stopped the car and she got out of the car. She waits until her friends leave.She took a deep breath and took out the pen drive from her bag.“I can’t keep it any longer. I can’t help him anymore in his crimes,” she thought and walked inside the police station. The crime aura at the police station was making her sick. Policemen were forcing criminals into the bar and she could feel crime aro
He was kissing her passionately and inhaling her scent. Saliha’s heart was rushing so fast when he got up breathing heavily. His expression turns poker and then he storms off the room. Saliha was staring at the open door. She felt guilty and humiliated at the same time. Roman pushed her away and then she stared at herself in the reflection. She touched her messy hair and tears started falling from her eyes one by one. ************* He did not talk to her after that night and she was also avoiding him. She was eating breakfast when she saw him leaving. He did not inform anything and left. She rolled her eyes and got up.The whole day passed but he did not arrive. She was now bored and decided to read some random book but she had already read all the books from the shelf.She took a deep breath and walked towards the kitchen to make coffee. The kitchen at Hunza's house was indeed so big and furnished. She opened the cabinet when something fell.It was some small box. She opens it and
