Justifying Himself

It was 2 O clock on the cold breezing night, he was sitting alone on the cane chair on a wide-stretching green lawn. He was smoking cigarettes for the past hour. There was no peace thing in any corner of his mind. 

He was not such a cruel man. He always gives respect to women, and his love for his sister, Sehrish, was an exemplary one. For a single moment, if she doesn’t come in front of him, he will get a hell of worried for her. She was very dear to him.  

To not let her go far away and keep her in front of his eyes, he did her engagement with one of his close friends, who was also his friend as well as his business partner. He doesn’t have anyone in this world. He doesn't have any siblings, while his parents were demised long before.  

So he was satisfied from every perspective. As his friend made a promise at his request of staying with him after the marriage. But....what happened? 

Nothing happened as he planned. With his burning mind, his thought again diverted to Zeeshan Rehmani. And along with Zeeshan Rehmani came the thought of his fragile and innocent sister, Hoor Ul Ain.  

"Aaah....what wrong this innocent girl did, why am I such harsh to her? if her brother has sinned then why am I punishing her...? why do I forget that she is also a woman, fragile and delicate....if.....she dies because of my revenge, then what will happen?" For a moment his heart contradicts his actions. He became restless and stood up.  

That bad day has come to his mind when his home was full of guests. Everyone was happy and celebrating it. Even his father was extremely happy. He was taking part in every work and gave instructions to the workers. He was also happy. Groom’s family has arrived. His friends, cousins and everyone was welcoming the guests happily. 

Preparation for Nikkah was going on with zeal and zest. At that moment, the women at the house started yelling.  

"Bride is run away, the bride has eloped...."  

It was like a nightmare for them. In a startled and insane state, he ran into Sehrish's room. Like mad, he search every corner of the room, but Sehrish was not going to be found, and she was not found.  

But a letter was found folded in her diary, which was written by her from her hand. 

"Zeeshan I can do anything for you because I also love you. I only consider you as my life partner. Zeeshan, I will be only for you. I know Bhayya (brother) doesn’t like you only because of his stubbornness. Otherwise, you are complete from every perspective. Anyways, now I have to decide on my life. Zeeshan, my decision is in favor of your love. Come, and take me far away from here, Zeehan, I am desperately waiting for you..." 

After reading Sehrish’s letter, his mind became blank. He feels like his nerves were popping out. He was feeling like shooting both Sehrish and Zeshan, would they be in front of him now?  

His father's heart attack has added fuel to the fire. In the I.C.U entangle between life and death, he kept calling Sehrish. From there, he breaved the plan of kidnapping Zeshan Rehmani’s sister to take his revenge. 

He was not heartless. But his father’s death and the sarcastic talks of his relatives have turned him into a beast. And the most unbearable was the carelessness of Zeeshan Rehmani. Shanzal lodged FIR against him and arrested him for the kidnap of his sister. 

But he doesn’t have any evidence against him to prove him guilty of the act. So Zeeshan Rehmani was get freed easily. After his release, he files a lawsuit against Shanzal for disrespecting him.  

For that, he was more furious and enraged, for his father’s sake revenge against him. But his sister, Hoor Ul Ain, has to face his wrath.  

Remembering Hoor Ul Ain, he again became restless. Her teary innocent eyes, her burning body due to fever, and her painful and dull face because of hunger have made him constantly worried. 

"No....I have to act strong, the way this bastard man has made me suffer through my sister, I will also do the same by making him through his sister. I should never forget that she is the sister of my enemy. That enemy, who kept failing me in every step, be that university, business, and....now in practical life, I will never forgive him that easily, will never forgive him...." 

The justification of the mind has overtaken the brain.
