"and when they both pul..led away, he had held her ne...ck and plac...ed his li...ps on hers for a second when I immediately reached there and punched him." Haseeb spilled out the whole truth. Her eyes fell on his hand which turned into a fist and her heart stopped there. "Bhai believe me, Zahra wasn't ready to kiss that man, before she could stop him he had k-" "Enough" Irtaza said, trying to control himself. And Haseeb stopped there. He saw it, irtaza was trying to calm himself but his anger was surfacing. "Now where's that boy, Daniyal?" He asked, taking a heavy breath trying to control himself. On the other hand, Zahra was already crying, because of her wretched face. She was afraid. Terrified. Petrified. She was feeling bad for Haseeb that she had to face this all because of her. She was afraid for Daniyal, Irtaza was asking about him and that was making her heart beat wildly in her chest. "Bhai I as...ked the men to fr..ee him" He stuttered again, witnessing the immense
They both were left alone as soon Haseeb was taken out of his office. Finding herself alone with him, Zahra begin to hiccup with pure fear and her eyes nearly came out of there sockets when he begin to move towards her and she impulsively begin take few steps backwards. Her teeth begin to clatter on seeing his calm livid form. "I...(hiccup)...sor..ry (hiccup)" she stuttered, lightly hicupping unable to form a coherent sentence. She was already crying. "For what my love?" He asked in his deceiving sweet tone, taking a step towards her. Her heart skipped beat. "I...am...(hiccup)" again she failed to complete her sentence due to the immense fear as she took a step back and he took one towards her. She was alone, no one can save her now. "What happened? Why're you crying?" He feigned ignorance, moving towards her, his hands inside his pockets and his head tilted a bit. His face, his features had schooled back there calm expression but they both knew what he was feeling from inside
Her eyes opened and she found herself surrounded in dark. Her head was in extreme pain and she was feeling dizzy. Her scalp was still burning and her swollen cheeks were red and hot with pain. She slowly sat up, a croaky moan left her throat, and begin to look around and touch various objects, figuring it out that she was not in her room. Her breathing quickened as she recalled the last moments before she fainted. His raged grey eyes was the only thing which begin to continuously linger in her mind making cold sweats to pop out of her mind. He came to know about everything, every single thing.. Now the question was what he will be doing with her. And this thought alone was making her want to kill herself. She stood up from the bed and begin to walk towards what she assumed was the door. Her whole body was shaking badly. Ominous thoughts clustered in her mind making her more trepidatious. She was afraid to encounter him again. She had no idea how he will treat her now. His words out
He abruptly jerked her forward from her leg and held the nape of her neck, pulling her face closer to him. She could smell the alcohol. "Oh Zahra. How many times did I warn you," he murmured, bringing her face closer with a jerk making her whimper, "never break my fucking trust on you." he muttered, and brought her face closer to her. There lips touching. Her breath hitched. And abruptly he smashed his lips on hers, sucking the breath out of her. He placed his knee on the bed, near her waist and pulled her back so that both of them were lying on the bed, she underneath him. Placing his weight on his elbows, he thrusted his tongue inside her mouth and devoured it like an animal. His fingers dugged into her cheeks as he placed his weight on her, suffocating her. His fingers threaded into her locks, tightly gripping them, to manoeuvre her head. His teeth biting her busted lips, drawing blood out of them. His tongue swirled around hers, there lips connected with each other. She was t
When he left her in the room, a maid along with a beautician came in giving her some clothes and applied concealer to cover the marks on her face. Then the driver took her to the haveli. On reaching the haveli, she found no one there. The guard informed her of today's incidents. Almost the whole family had left to the hospital except Alizey. Asma Aunty after knowing that Haseeb is in hospital had left already along with Haya and Saif and after that Dua was in her father's room when he had suddenly fallen down to the floor, his hand on his heart. Dua had immediately called Irtaza and Shehryaar and then screamed for everyone in the house. Ammara, Haroon, her grandfather and grandmother had instantly came and took him to the hospital. Zahra was alone in the haveli. She was sitting in her room along with Alizey, who was sleeping peacefully. Zahra's head rested against the headboard, her eyes closed. She was extremely tensed. Her mind was filled with alot of horrendous thoughts. At one sid
"Only two weeks are left for the marriage." There grandmother informed and her heart begin to beat fast. 'Only two weeks?' She thought with dismay. "On Thursday, mehndi will happen, on Friday nikkah an-" her grandmother was telling about the days when Irtaza cut in. "The nikkah is done." Irtaza informed making each and every single person gasp with shock other than his younger brother, Shehryaar. "Nikkah?" His grandmother asked confusedly. "When did it happen?" His father questioned. "Month back." "Why you both didn't inform us?" His uncle, Haroon, asked. "I had refrained Zahra from doing so. I was waiting for the right time." He answered shortly. "Hmm....but it's not settling well with me that you married Zahra without the involvement of family." "The nikkah was to be done in every case. It doesn't matter that the family was involved or not. Also its Irtaza's life and he wanted his nikkah a month back then we're no one to question it. And we still have the rukhsati to look u
"Now Zahra what will happen?" Haseeb asked her as they both were sitting in his room. Zahra came to say a sorry and thankyou to him. She was so thankful to him that even he tried to protect her, today. "I dont know." She whispered looking down, unsure about the calamities which will be occuring in her future. "Zahra betrayal was not the way to get out that situation. In any case your betrayal cannot be justified. I understand that Irtaza bhai shouldn't have forced you into a relation, he did wrong but betrayal in my eyes is the worst punishment. I've seen admiration and love for you in his eyes. And only for you. No one else. He is a man who does not trust someone easily but he trusted you. And just think Zahra when it would have fell upon him that all the time you were acting infront of him and you had betrayed him. His heart would have shattered into pieces." Haseeb explained. "I know. But I didnt have any other option." She whispered looking down, her guilt surfacing up. "Zahra
"What?" She quickly asked. "I'm not sure whether this plan will work or not. But you can talk to Irtaza bhai and tell your story from the very start and then promise him that you'll stay loyal to him forever and forget Daniyal. After that demand from him to release Daniyal. You can kill two birds with a stone then. Daniyal will be freed and your life can be normal again. But only if you forget Daniyal and stay loyal to Bhai. Thats the only solution my mind came up with. And it makes no difference, at the end you'll have to leave Daniyal and live with Irtaza Bhai. The sooner you accept it, the better for you. Then why not now and it might improve your current state. I know how disheveled and crumbled you're feeling.." "But you said, he... dont let go betr...ayals easily" "Your case might be different. If you talk with him openly and convince somehow that you'll never backstab him again and stop loving Daniyal, then there might be a thin possibility he'll trust you again. Just a thin
TWO MONTHS LATERThe truth has revealed its cards now. Everything was open and visible to everyone. They knew what happened with Jaha Ara. What Shabbir did. What Agha did. Who was the culprit. And who was the victim. Agha was dead. Haider was dead. Nayab was dead. A month has passed since the demise of Haider. The last time he was found conscious was at the grave of Jaha Ara. They did not know what his last words were but only that woman who rested six feet down the ground. Haider has died of a weak heart. His heart became further weak when he had come to know about the truth of Jaha Ara and when he had realized that Jaha Ara had loved him. At the hospital, near his deathbed had stood there Nayab who had disconnected the ventilator, depriving his unconscious state from oxygen. Nayab was a nurse at the hospital where Haider was admitted. She had always considered Irtaza the reason for what has happened with her family and to avenge on her dead family, she decided to take Ha
As mentioned earlier, Haseeb took Dua back to Pakistan. The whole family was surprised to find the couple there. Her father had stopped everyone from asking any questions from Dua and let her relax so no one pressed her. He did not yet disclose about their nikkah to the family. He was just finding the right time. The right time that would come after knowing the reason behind his grandfather's hand in Dua's escape. Dua did not tell him anything, and he did not press her further as well. He had a hunch that there was something going on. Something heinous which had been kept from the whole family. The more he thought about it, the more puzzled he got. So he stood up and decided to confront Dua on his own again. The haveli was drowning in silence as the night had sprawled in the sky. Haseeb advanced towards Dua's room. Slowly, he turned the handle and entered and found her laying on the bed, turned to her left. Her eyes glimmering under the moon ight. Quiet yet conveyed her emotions.
They considered her as a threat. Both of them. To the legacy of her grandfather. That was why they had her escaped. Shabbir Haider would've sustained the blow of the whole world knowing the truth but his grandsons. Because they were to continue his legacy. He had really worked hard on both of them. And managed to make them as cruel as he had been. Jaha Ara was a thorn in his path which he efficiently plucked out. He wanted the mafia to grown and both his grandsons were his shoulders. If Dua had told them of the truth then an apocalypse would've fallen on him. An apocalypse which his old shoulders won't be able to sustain. His grandsons were his reflection and Shabbir Haider was well aware that what could be done to him by them because he made them what they were now. He had just put-forth these qualms infront of Dua and for the sake of good moments and good memories and the goodness she had noticed in him, she spared him from the wrath of both her brothers. Yet that moment when s
Two years later"What is my name?" His voice, dark, as he directed the question to the shivering soul. His men surrounding him. The cold weather of the States made him wear black long-coat, underneath which he wore, black pants and shirt. And his hands stuffed in his pockets, were covered with gloves. Black gloves. Which he usually wore whenever he'd go to such missions."Ha-haseeb... Haroon... S-syed," the man, on his knees, answered."Good," he sat down."Now tell me where is she?" he asked. "I...I don't know...sir,"And it was the last nail in the coffin as he lost patience. He shrieked out of annoyance and the gun which was in his grasp came down to that man's temple, making blood gush out of his forehead as he fell back."Where the fuck is she?" he asked again, widening his eyes. The man couldn't utter a word as he laid there, shivering. He shook his head to himself before squatting down to his level. His fingers threaded in that man's hair as he made him sit. Boring his eyes
A month.A month has been elapsed but there was no sign of Dua. The sky fell upon the haveli after comping to know of Dua's elopement. Despite trying and utilizing their hundred percent of resources, the trio, Irtaza, Shehryaar and Haseeb couldn't find Dua. She was gone.Gone for good.The day her absence and elopement was confirmed, Irtaza had straight away headed to investigate Zahra. FlashbackZahra was in her room, playing with her little baby girl Jaha Ara while Mujtaba played with a colorful ball somewhere in the room. A maid stood near Zahra to help her if she needed any.Zahra's eyes were sparkling with joy as she held her daughter's little and soft hands who was giving out a toothless smile."Sab sei pyara kaun hai?" she asked, playfully to her daughter, who couldn't understand anything but still gave out a jolly laugh.(Who is the most beautiful?)"Jaha Ara hai," Zahra said, brushing the pad f her forefinger against her little nose.(It s Jaha Ara)When suddenly the door
In the room, Irtaza's grey eyes were struck on his laptop screen as he was working on something. To his left laid Zahra whose small snorts were echoing in the room followed by the tick-tock of the clock.He had been trying to focus but his wife's snorts weren't letting him. It's been half an hour already. Her snorts were too heavy that first he had awaken up from his sleep and despite trying to focus on his work, he couldn't. Sighing, he atlast closed the lid of his laptop and placed it aside before laying down and bringing her closer to him. He scooped her in his arms and it was not long before he nuzzled into her neck. He couldn't resist inhaling her fragrance. It provided him calm.Whenever he would be upset, the only thing that could calm his nerves was her scent. "Senorita," he whispered in her ears, trying to wake her up. She gave no response and continued snorting."Senorita," her name again released from his mouth as his fingers caressed her earlobe."Wha...is..t, Irtaza?"
"Mama! Mama!" Two years, Mujtaba called out at Zahra who was making dinner in the kitchen. He rose his little hands and caught the hem of his mother's shirt as he was trying to stand up.Her eyes moved towards the wall clock as she quickened with her preparations."Gul zaadi!" Zahra called out for one of her maids and she came running."Yes madam?""Please can you take Mujtaba to his room," she said, before squatting down and grabbed the crawling toddler in her arms."What does my beautiful prince want?" she asked, running her finger against his little nose.Mujtaba laughed, opening his toothless mouth and moved his small hands towards his mother's cheek before rubbing his hands against her cheek."Ay! Ay! Ma! Ay" he uttered gibberish but Zahra smiled."Ma's life. Why are you so cute?!" She rubbed her nose against his and kissed his lips before handling Mujtaba to Gul and she took him away as Zahra continued making dinner.Today was Irtaza's birthday and she had decided to surprise hi
At the university, on insistence of her friend she went out for shopping that too without security and she couldn't inform him as her phone's battery was dead and her friend's phone had ran out of balance. She didn't want to go without informing him but her friend was insisting too much. "Hmn?" he slightly raised his brows when she didn't answer. "Out with my friend... to a restaurant," she answered. "And did you inform me?" "I was about to... but my phone ran out of battery" she mumbled the last part. "Then why didn't you tell by using someone else' phone?" he interrogated She couldn't find any answer to that. Her friend was persisting too much and she wasn't able to think straight so she just go with the flow. "And you didn't even take the security along with you?" he asked again, the slight anger was evident in his voice which made her heart skip a beat. "She felt awkward in my guard's presence," she replied, looking down. She knew she was at fault. He walked towards her
4 months later"Irtazaaaaa!" Zahra called out for him from inside the bathhroom."Yes?" he asked, standing infront the mirror getting ready for the office."Umm....actually..." she said, as if contemplating, blush creeping on her cheeks."Yes senorita?" he said, moving towards the restroom. A slight smirk playing on his lips, well aware why she was calling."Actually...""Yes actually?" he smiled."Bathrobe" she replied in one go, "where's my bathrobe. I didn't take any clothes and I know you've it. Give it to me, Irtaza!" she whined, forwarding her hand out of the door.He immediately took her cold hand in his warm ones, giving a kiss on her hand.She turned red."Irtaza...bathrobe""No" he said, leaning against the wall."Irtaza... give me bathrobe or I'll come out and.... huh" she stopped with a gasp on realising what she just said."Oh if that's the case, then I don't know what a bathrobe is. Come out senorita and tell me" he laughed."G acha. Ap ney keh dia aur mei maan gayi. Kal
