Chapter 14

She slightly wriggles in her sleep to open her eyes. Her eyes are still filled with taking sleep.
At night, after talking with Shah Zain when she came back to her room and laid for sleeping. It seemed as if sleep was wiped out of her eyes.
How much a great fact she came to know about herself. All these were enough to take her sleep away.
For some time, she tried to sleep, but when sleep didn't come then she had to take sleep pills unwillingly.
She always does this, whenever sleep didn't come to her, but Shah Zain was not aware of this. For that reason, her eyes are still feeling sleepy.
Taking some effort, she gets up to sit on the bed, she draws her hand on her face.
To look for the time as her gaze went to the side table only then her sleep gets out of her eyes.
In astonishment, she is looking at the room. It's not her room. In fact, it's not the room of her home.
She started inspecting herself she is present in the bed. But this place is unknown to her. In place of astonishment, her eyes are now getting filled with fear.
"Where is she....
Who takes her here......
These two questions keep ringing in her mind. In fear, she folded her legs and hide her face in her knees.
She is so scared at that time that she doesn't sense someone else presence in the room.
Kawish is standing comfortably on the other side of the room staring at her scared face.
"Every day you sleep that deeply, or is it because of my presence today....."
His eyes are fixed on her face.
Listening to the knowing voice Noor, who is sitting hiding her face between her knees, instantly turns to look at him, and then she keeps looking at him.
In wonder, her eyes are now fully opened.
"You......"
Very slowly, her lips moved. There's no doubt that he takes her here.
"Yes I...... other than me I don't allow anyone to look at you....."
There's an intense craziness in his eyes.
For now, he doesn't want to bring Noor to himself but Mr. Hassan forced him in doing all this.
"Why you bring me here...... I want to go to my brother...."
Understand the situation, she can't stop her tears from falling.
How satisfied she was after talking with her brother. She was confident that her brother will rectify everything and that he will never let this man near her.
But sadly, he is again in front of her and now she is in prison of him.
"Wife should live near her husband, that's why you are here..... and from now on forget about your brother.... because you are in my prison, no one is allowed to meet you....."
His tone is strictly cold now. The same cold tone when Noor felt the first time meeting with him.
"Why are you doing this with me..... what I did with you...."
She is gazing at him with scared eyes. From the beginning till now, that person did nothing other than scaring her.
And he is calling himself her husband.
"Neither you did anything nor I..... but in my life now I am intending to do a lot of things....."
Opening his shirt button, he comes towards her. Noor's throat becomes dried seeing an intensity in his talks and his eyes.
"It....it..... what are you doing, stay away from me..... don't come you close to me...."
Seeing him coming towards her she collected in herself.
"Why I don't come, I am your husband, I have every right on you..... and by the way, I never left my right till now....."
Putting his shirt aside, he comes close to her.
On his coming close to her Noor wants to get up to run away, but he made her captive by holding her by her wrist.
"Please let me go....why are you doing this with me....."
In fear, her voice is hardly coming out of her mouth. Now, her face has soaked in tears.
"You have taken peaceful sleep, now give some peace to me.... after that you can go....."
He made her lay on the bed and puts his both hands around her to stop her from running away.
Seeing him hovering over her, Noor feels like she will stop breathing.
"Please don't do this, I will not tell anything about you to my brother....."
She said innocently while crying. While he becomes unheard of her saying and put his lips on her neck.
Feeling his lips touch on her, Noor started shaking fully.
She puts her hands on his chest to distance him from herself. But Kawish also held her both hands and captive them in his hold.
In the silence of the room, Noor's sobbing is clearly heard. Kawish instant rises his face and at the moment distances himself.
He is not intending to force himself on Noor but the reason for him doing this is to make her understand that her life will not be easier for her.
It is not easy for him to forget about what Noor's father did with his father. On his rising from her, Noor hurriedly gets up and came out of the room without looking at him.
She doesn't know where she will go after coming out of the room, she just wants to go far away from that man.
While Kawish is lying comfortably looking at her running out of the room hurriedly. He feels much satisfaction seeing Noor getting scared of him.
There was a time when he wants to let her scare go away but now he is changed so is his thinking.


**********

"Ammi, finish this.....now what's left to purchase... I am very tired now...."
Walking on the road, Minal addresses her mother. And she had asked her that question at least three times in a row and, as usual, her answer was the same.
"My child, a few things are left to be purchased....then we will go home...."
Looking at her daughter's tired face, she smiled.
"Ammi (mother) you find just this day to come to market, it will be better if I went to the office today..... I don't get tired there that much doing work the way I am feeling now coming here with you......"
She said with a poorly looking face.
Today she was on the leave. Don't know why but she doesn't feel the courage to go to the office today because of what he said yesterday.
Every time his talk were keep ringing in her mind. Getting scared from that condition, she comes with her mother but now she is cursing herself for coming here.
"My child, you were on the leave today so I think why not we do shopping today, otherwise before your doing job you were the one taking care of everything..... and I can't come alone......"
She stopped coming to the side. She intended to cross the road to go to the other side of the road.
"Ammi, you leave, tell me what you need, I will bring it....."
She immediately said after seeing her moving forward. She senses that her mother is also tired.
"No my child, you stand here I am coming to bring it...."
She moves forward answering her. She has taken a few steps when she badly collided with the car coming towards her.
The driver of the car hurriedly moves forward his car without stopping it.
Her collision with the car is that intense Mrs. Nimra fell in the middle of the road. Minal started screaming after seeing the scene in front of her.
She hurriedly comes near to her mother.
"Ami.... Ami..... open your eyes, Ami.... Allah save my mother...."
She badly started crying after seeing the blood oozing out of her mother's head.
People started gathering around them.
"Please someone help me...."
She pleaded to the people crying.
"Miss Minal...... you...."
Shah Zain who was just passing by after seeing the gathered crowd he stopped his car. But after finding Minal here, in hurry he moves toward her.
"Hurry up, we have to take her to the hospital."
He said sitting near her.
"No, I don't need your help...."
In that condition, she doesn't like taking his help.
"Miss Minal, it's not time to talk about this, hurry up...."
Ignoring what she is about to say, he picks up Mrs. Nimra and takes her to his car.
In a few minutes, they were in the hospital. The doctor is giving treatment to Mrs. Nimra. The injury on her head was very fierce.
Minal is sitting on the bench praying for her mother. While Shah Zain kept standing there staring at her as she was crying.
