Chapter 18

She strolled in the whole house when at the end of the day she came back to her room.
It's been her second day that she has been imprisoned in this house. She can't find a phone in the house let alone thinks of escaping from here.
She was extremely her brother. How much she cried these days for her brother but she didn't find a way to get out of here.
And on top of that Kawish's stunts were further intensifying her misery.
How can she live with that man, who keeps changing from time to time, in one house? It's good that she didn't sight him in the house for the last two days.
Noor was thinking of escaping from this house before he came back.
She was standing with the bed thinking about something when instantly her eyes laid on the phone which is on the side table of the bed.
Her eyes sparkled as soon as she finds a phone. She hurriedly moved to pick up the phone.
She was so delighted after finding the phone that she didn't feel a need to think about where the mobile came from.
The mobile was unlocked so she immediately dialed her brother's number.
She started feeling happy only thinking of talking to her brother.
"What's this going on.......?"
Listening to his dominant voice she instantly turns back.
The mobile phone slipped from her hand and fell to the floor as she saw Kawish standing in front of her.
"I'm asking, what's this going on now....."
He glared at her with menacing eyes and came forward to her. It was not in her imagination that he will be present in the room now.
"I...... I...... I want to talk to my brother."
She gets scared of his menacing gaze and said to him immediately.
"Why are you talking, when I told you that from now on you are in my prison, you can't do a single thing without my consent.....then why are you talking to your brother?...... have I allowed you?"
Kawish's anger further intensified after listening to her answer, no matter how much he tried to lower his hatred for her but after listening to her father's name his hatred rises further.
"But I want to talk to my brother, I don't want to live with you...... I just want to go to my brother....."
Like a stubborn child, she said. Her eyes become teary at the name of her brother.
While on his saying, Kawish's rage was further raised. He tightly held her by her arm and make her come to himself. How can she deny what he is saying to her and that too when she is facing him.
"From now on you are living in that house with me, close to me....get used to this, it will be better for you."
He was looking straightly into her eyes.
"I don't want to get used to anything, I don't want to live with you..... I just want to go to my brother.....Bhai was right you are a bad man."
She keeps talking while weeping.
While after listening to her, a frown came on Kawish's forehead. His hold on Noor's arm becomes more strict.
"Enough is enough, stop it, Noor, you said enough....if you didn't stop it then I will show you how bad I am."
Now his voice is higher on her but Noor acts as if she didn't listen to him.
"No, I want to go to my brother, I don't want to listen to anything......"
Like a stubborn child, she was hell-bent on her stubbornness.
"Noor, didn't you listen to me?"
He again glared at her but she was not in her senses. Neither she was afraid of him nor she was listening to him.
"No, I told you that......."
Before she utter something else Kawish attacked on her lips. He takes her lips in his lips to stop her from saying anything more.
His hold on her was so much tight that Noor become scared of him and tried to distance him from herself. But he entangled his arm in her back and pulled her more closer to himself.
In his grasp, now with tightness, there is also extremeness and craziness. He was leaning on her holding her breath in his captive.
Noor feels her breath stopping. Her eyes become watery.
After a while, he let go of her lips.
As soon as he release her, Noor started breathing heavily and sit on the bed more like a falling. While Kawish was standing comfortably looking at her who was badly inhaling.
"You are only mine, only mine, today I let you go..... but from now on if you say something about letting me go then I will tell you how is a bad man..... and at that time do not expect I will show any mercy......."
He was leaning on her and saying it more like warning her.
After finding him again so close to herself, Noor shut her eyes in fear.
For a moment when she didn't feel something then she immediately opened her eyes but she finds no one in the room.
She was alone.
She hide her face in both of her hands after remembering again the scene which happened a little earlier.


*********

Today she came to the office after three days' leave. It is her helplessness she is coming here. For some more time, she has to endure this person.
And on top of that, he did another favor to her and she wants to pay him back as soon as possible.
To talk with him, she straightly came to his office. After knocking on his door room, she stands and waited for his response for some moments.
After his permitting in she came enters taking slow steps. As Shah Zain raises his head and saw her, the scene of that day came in front of his eyes and, in furiousness, he clenched his fist.
Seeing her with Kawish now Shah Zain perceived that she is doing the job here because of Kawish saying. Through her Kawish is keeping his watch on him.
"Do you have some time I want to talk to you about something urgently...."
She looks at Shah Zain to come forward.
He paid all their hospital expenses and she hide this news from her mother and Kawish. If they come to know about this then how will she responds to them.
She doesn't want to take any favor of this man that's why she decided with herself that she will pay him back all his expenses.
"Miss Minal, if you are here to talk about work then sure you can do, but I don't have any time to talk about something nonsense...."
He said in his busy tone and his eyes were still fixed on the file. Because he doesn't want to look at her face. Right now he feels that if she keeps standing here in front of him then he, surely, will lose his temper.
"You just tell me that how much expenses you incurred on my mother so that I can pay you back....."
She tells him the reason for her coming here. As she doesn't want to be indebted to him.
"Miss Minal, it doesn't matter how much expenses have been incurred, there's no need of it.....so you do your work."
His anger further rose on what Minal said to him now.
At that time he doesn't help her out of empathy but in his love for her.
"There's need of it, sir..... because in the matter of my mother I don't want to take anyone favor....so it will be better if you tell me."
She said getting irritated.
Shah Zain gets up from his seat after listening to her. She was considering his love as a favor.
"It means you want to pay back my favor."
He said fixing his penetrating eyes on her. Now his tone was void of any kind of emotions.
"Yes, you heard it right....."
She was not someone who can be easily subdued.
"Fine, then Nikkah (marry) with me....."
As if, in moments, he made a decision. While on his reply, Minal's eyes grew wider in astonishment.
"What happened, why did you become silent, a little earlier you said that you pay back everyone's favor?"
There was sarcasm in his tone.
"You are insane..... what nonsense are you speaking....."
Minal's face turned red in anger.
"I'm totally fine, in fact, I give you a straight answer to your question. I'm telling you the way of how you can pay back to my favor...."
What he was speaking to her now doesn't look like that Shah Zain who loves her.
"You said it right, you are right I was at the wrong that doesn't get to know earlier you did all this deliberately.....so that you can put such condition in front of me...."
Minal was getting angrier at herself now that why she didn't stop him at that time.
"You are absolutely right..... and now where is that Minal who was talking doing so highly about herself..... did she scared from me.....say it straightly that you can't do......"
He was infuriating her.
Shah Zain was doing all this intentionally. His only motive for doing this is to teach Kawish lesson through Minal.
"I agree......"
In a few words, she just ended this conversation. If he is Shah Zain then she is Minal. She thinks of something before taking a hasty decision.
While Shah Zain's smile grew further deeper after listening to her reply.
