Obsession Suspicion
A few days passed already. Sheharzaad had passed Khaleda the signal, secretly that she had something to share with her and as Khaleda had instructed, she was waiting for Khaleda to contact her. They weren't contacting through her phone because there were high chances her phone would be tapped by Shehryaar and Khaleda had prohibited that too. She kept on coming to the office and Shehryar was too busy in his work. Since he had been absent the past week from the company, he was catching up on some things and working on some deals as well. But still somehow he would find some time and call her to his office, asking her to work on a particular file while sitting infront him. He won't let her leave his office and all the while she would be able to feel his gaze on her making her so anxious and nervous. She would spend more time in his office than hers. Whenever she would be near him, tremors escaped her body as the deal she made with Khaleda would keep on running behind her mind. She wou
Obsession The evidence
It was seven in the morning when she had awaken up and went for a morning walk to a nearby park. With her earphones plugged in she continued to jog. How ambitious she was about her dreams and now these days all she could think of getting rid from him. Where her life had landed her to. She thought. The focus of her whole life became him. She was too engrossed in freeing herself from the web he had set for her that during this while she completely forgot who she was. And what not she had wanted to achieve in her life.She believed in true love.Believed in settling herself with a man who would understand her, respect her. She dreamt of having an own company of hers so her children stomach's would be filled before every night and she would never leave her kids alone just like her parents had left her alone.In this dilemma, she truly forgot who was she and what dreams she had.She was walking when suddenly a sweeper passed by her who was cleaning and gathering the dead leaves from the
Obsession Marriage proposal
Guys vote and comment! Please 'puppy eyes'....Her eyes were lifeless.Struck.Not blinking.Not moving. As if she was in a trance. Lost and wandered.The grey of her eyes complimented with her thick lashes as she kept on staring at the window and was just able to see the clouds surrounding her as the airplane ripped apart the air, propelling forward.Beside her, sat Shehryaar who was busy typing something on his laptop. She supposed it was a response to one of his mails. At that moment, she wished the plane could crash.An instant death would be better then the death he was giving her.Slow and gut-wrenching.They were on the way to Dubai now on his private jet. The flight was two and a half hour long. This was her first time travelling through an aeroplane. When it was about to take-off, instinctively she had held his hand, so tight that even she heard him slightly giving out a sound of pain. A small hiss.When she was able to calm down her nerves and the plane was set towards
Obsession Glimpse of that night
"Can I," her voice came out breathless and even voiceless. The fear of her impending doom completely jabbing her heart as she knew she would be entirely alone in Dubai with him. Another thought came crashing down on her mind as her subconscious alarmed her of the worst possible of him coming to know of what she did with the evidence she got her hands on. Khaleda had asked her to act normal and not make a move until she signals otherwise Sheharzaad would have ran away from him, already. Far far away."Can you?" he encouraged her to continue, shaking away her vile thoughts."Use the restroom," At that point, only one thought was coming in Sheharzaad's mind and that was to somehow go away from Shehryaar. She needed space where she can hyperventilate easily."Not before telling me what's got into you,""Nothing," she whimpered."Shhh," he placed his fingers on her lips that were subtly shivering as another whimper was on its way. As she calmed down, he fastened his forefinger underneath he
Obsession Caught?
With a sprained ankle, she sat in the bed, hissing every now and then. While descending down the stairs, her foot had accidentally twisted and she lost her footing. As soon as she was about to fell, he held her and then she had realized her foot had been badly sprained, making her croak out with pain. Upon realizing, he held her in his arms and carried her bridal style all the way from plane to the car and from car to the hotel room. She had wriggled in his arms, protestingly yet a glare from his side and she shut her eyes tightly. A team of doctor had already came, rushing to check up on her on Shehryaar's demand. As now she sat there. They were in their room now in one of the most expensive hotel in the world. His meeting was bound to be within two hours but he was just rashly making calls after the sudden call he had received at the plane.She didn't dare ask him what happened because by looking how tense he was, she knew something serious happened. Her tension had increased by l
Obsession Engaged
When her eyes fluttered open, she found herself cocooned in the comforter. The room was chilly due to the air conditioner. One glance on the glass wall told her it was evening. She immediately sat up to absorb her surroundings and slowly the memories began to set back in her mind as she recalled everything. Her eyes cautiously moved around to spot his presence and a sigh of thankfulness left her lips when she confirmed, he wasn't here.Nevertheless, she got off the bed and began to roam around the room not before providing her parched throat with some water. Half an hour passed yet still he didn't show any signs of coming back. She wondered how long had it been since he was gone.The room felt claustrophobic to her at this stage that she decided to step out and breathe in some fresh air but him coming to know of it stopped her in her tracks. She dozed the thought off roaming about in the hotel and just sat down on the couch again.Some more time elapsed and she couldn't contain hers
Obsession Sneaking away
She fitted perfectly in his arms. The diamond of his eyes bored in hers as she stared at him. Lifeless."Did not I tell you, I'll even myself with you, Sheharzaad?" His whisper came. Pulling up his callous hand, he placed it warmly on her cheek, "the day you dared to slap me was the very day you sealed your fate," he caressed her cheek, "I had decided," Now, he fastened his hand under her knees, fitting all her body between his arms, "you would be my woman," His feet moved and the striking of boots against the floor resonated in the room as he carried her bridal style. A tear fell from her eye and dropped on the floor and the next moment it was stepped upon by his boot, "As my wife or as my mistress," his irises deeply staring in hers who was digesting the shocks he was giving her, "I would never let you go," A promise. A promise was clearly visible in his eyes. He placed her on the bed, before pouring her some water. With shaky fingers, she took the glass and gulped the liquid down
Obsession The ring
"Now?""You may go ma'am. We will accompany you," he told."No. Don't dare,""We can't let you go alone," he spoke."I can go and don't follow me. That's an order," she replied and they exchange helpless glances with each other before she walked away.As she strolled around, she found the place, awfully quiet. Rather the whole floor. There was no one. Not a single being. A frown marred her brows.She spoted an elevator and decided to go to another floor when another guard came infront her.He looked at her and then stepped aside, letting her go, "you may go madam," he told, giving her the way.Her grey eyes filled with astonishment as the doors of the elevator opened. A smile made its way to her lips and she walked inside, taking a deep breath. She appreciated every moment. Those four walls made her realized that.The elevator dinged open and the doors revealed to her almost another world. Full of people, walking here and there. The area was busy and loud as compared to the previous f

Obsession BONUS-LAST
His tongue was too heavy to utter anything. He was still in shock, a state of disbelief had still encompassed him. His grey eyes kept on looking and tracing the cracks on the hardened mud of the grave. Dilemma was hitting him, clutching him in its painful paws and tightening its grip on his heart with every second.To say the least, he was baffled.Grave.It was a grave.Grave of his mother.Mother.Who had died decades ago.But still that day was freshened in his mind like yesterday. Every intricate and minor detail was in the back of hiss head.Often those details took shape of a nightmare in his dreams. The soulless and dead eyes of the lady who hung with the ceiling.Utter helplessness on her face.He thought as much that suicide was her last resort. That was why he considered her weak. Considered womankind weak. Considered womankind manipulative, cunning, untrustworthy.But here he sat, near the one, who was the reason those feelings were born within him but this time he cam
Obsession 11-(ii)
He was in ICU. His guard told her that he was driving the car fastly to home and suddenly the his grip loosened, the tyres slipped and the car crashed. She couldn't stop the tears coming out of her eyes. She knew the reason behind his eagerness to get home as fast as he could.It was because of her request to come home early. She felt utter guilt clipping her heart.That guilt too that she has suppressed within her.She still thought that Haider died because of her. She considered herself as the culprit of Shehryaar. She took his father's life away. If she hadn't given that dary to him, maybe Haider would have been alive today. She took his father's life away.And now he was fighting for his life because of her. Although, Shehryaar had told him numerous times that it was never her fault behind his father's death but she never agreed to him. There was a part of her which still told her that she was the culprit and that part of her was again taking control over her, inciting suici

The evening sky has sprawled. The blue hue was everywhere as the bird chirped, returning back to their respective abodes. There sat Sheharzaad on the sofa of the study reading the same page again, trying to regain her focus. Yet her eyes would move in between the page of the book that read, 'Karachi. The city of lights. Rather previously known as the city of lights....'The book was titled, 'Zaryaab' after the name of the male lead of that book. Sheharzaad's grey eyes again fixed on the sky, witnessing the birds. As the sun reached the horizon, the sky was a mix of orange and blue.Her mind was wondering to Shehryaar. Where was he? Should she apologize? Or should she wait for him?She found herself guilty in this situation. She should have broke it on the very first place to Maaz that she was married instead of going for that lunch. She knew that Maaz was interested in her but she was just finding the right time to reveal it to him and to everybody that she was married that too t
Obsession 10-(ii)
She was sitting in her cabin, going through a file but repeatedly her concentration was breaking as her mind kept on shifting to somewhere.The memory made her bite her lips and take a deep breath. She was at work!She needed to focus.Why was she feeling that way?She could feel butterflies flipping in her stomach. His intense stare again came over in her mind that had her shook her head away. They both sat together, in that starry night, under the shade of moon, with their hands in hand."Isn't moon looking so beautiful today?" she had whispered dreamily as her head rested on his shoulder. "Which one?" he asked making her puzzle."The one in the sky,""Not as beautiful as the one sitting beside me," "You're cheesy with your dialogues, Mr. Shehryaar,"His eyes flickered from the stars on the sky to her face, "Dialogues ain't the only thing I'm cheesy at, Ms. Sheharzaad,"Sheharzaad averted her gaze, looking away. She was grateful that it was night because her cheeks were turning

Every eye was full of tears.Cries and wails rose from the haveli when the janazah was risen from the home.Haider has passed away. Leaving his mother-less children now father-less. Eyes were sad.Yet his grey eyes stared at nothing just the eye-catching verses that he recited. He was silent. Quiet. Unable to produce any response. Placing her head on his shoulder, his wife sat beside him, with tears propelling from her eyes as her hand held rosary reciting tasbeeh for the departed soul.Sheharzaad was crying.But Shehryaar was silent. It was just those eye-catching verses that had his complete attention. His father used to teach him the Quran in his childhood but he never got the chance to finish it because his practice sessions with his grandfather awaited him so he always used to leave without finishing his recitations. Last he read these verses was decades back and then he did not touch the holy book again. When he was set to made his first murder. He considered himself too
Obsession 9-(ii)
The wiltering flowers at his beloved's grave stood out as an evidence of the abandonment by her own family. Haider sat near the grave. As tears slowly cascaded down his eyes."You've endured enough. I wish... for once you'd have expressed your love for me. For once. Then my whole life wouldn't be so bleak. The reciprocation for which I waited finally came after decades," he played with the mud of the grave, "For once, you could have told me... what Agha did. What my father did. I wish... after your demise even for once you'd have come in my dreams and apprised me how you were brutally killed," Another tear dropped from his eye and landed on her grave, "I read... what you wrote in those pages. Where you expressed your love for me. I freed you from myself only because I wanted you to be happy and be with your lover. I've never hated you. Despite you were caught with another man.... I loved you regardless of every circumstance. My love for you was conditionless, my Jahan" (IN URDU JAHAN

"She didn't commit suicide. She wanted to live for her children. But you know what? She was hanged and it all appeared as suicide. This whole idea was of Agha, Shehryaar. Your mother wanted to live," Sheharzaad finished. Her voice has turned into a soft whisper till the end of her dialogue. She could see the enrage slowly developing in Shehryaar's eyes but he was controlling. He was really controlling himself so the monster won't break free. Zahra came running into the study followed by Haseeb. As soon as Zahra's eyes landed on Irtaza, she went in his arms and hugged him, very well aware that she needed him the most in these moments. And as soon as Dua's eyes fell on Haseeb, she rushed into his arms and hugged him. The previous talk they both had in her room was enough for her to trust him completely. He had gained her partial trust when he had convinced her before their nikkah that he will give her all the love of the world. As well as the time and space she needed for this relati
Obsession 8-(ii)
Tears were slipping down their eyes. The whole study has turned upside down. The glass table, smashed and broken. Books from the bookshelf were torned and rested on the floor. The glass pieces of vase were scattered. The place depicted of an utter apocalypse.And among all these broken and torned things, there lied a safe in the middle of the room. Bullets pierced through it and was now tattered and battered. Sat there on the sofa were three siblings, with nothing but tearful eyes.And a piece of paper in their hands. Written to them in her last moment by their mother. The letter which reached them after twenty five long years.Each word pierced through their soul. Every breath they took was heavy, filled with sighs and unattained wishes. The unattained wish to meet their mother one last time.Shehryaar's hand shivered as he still held the old worn out letter. Tears silently slipping out of his eyes. He rather wished he could have died than knowing this truth. After Sheharzaad na
Obsession Bonus-8 The truth reveal
Dua had immediately taken Sheharzaad to another room once her eyes had landed on her. She did not talk to her family or anyone. She wanted to say the words that have been long overdued on her mind.As soon as she entered in the privacy of the room, Dua hugged Sheharzaad and tears slowly slipped out of her eyes."I-I'm sorry, Sheharzaad. I-I-I," her voice croaked, "I wronged you.... I wronged you... I'm sorry, Sheharzaad. I'm sorry," she kept on repeating. Because she just had this word on her mind. The crime she committed was unjustifiable. It didn't matter Sheharzaad would forgive her or not, but in that moment, Dua just wanted to apologize. Apologize for the crime she committed five years back. Apologize for the crime that stayed in her mind for five long years and it kept on haunting her. The guilt kept on eating her. What she did with Sheharzaad broke her more than anything else. Sheharzaad slowly raised her hand and caressed Dua's back, "stop crying, Dua. I... forgive you," sh
