Chapter 7

"Why you want to meet, now speak....."
Mr. Hassan said while glaring at the Kawish who was sitting in front of him with all his glory.
But he was sitting giving a cold impression looking at them.
He was looking at him after full ten years. He was an exact copy of his father.
But only his eyes are black while his father's were honey color. For a moment as he looks at him he feels like it is his friend, Ali, who is in front of him.
"You know it very well what is my reason for coming here..... and why I want to meet you....?"
Like his impression, his tone was also strict and cold.
"And you know it very well that whatever you want is impossible..... still you came here"
At that time, Shah Zain who was sitting on the other sofa didn't remain quiet. Listening to his talk Kawish smiled sarcastically like he was making fun of what he is saying.
"It will be better if you don't talk about possibility or impossibility.... because there's nothing impossible for Kawish Ali....."
He was saying it more like a warning.
While on his saying this, Shah Zain clenched his fist in anger.
"At that time it will be impossible..... and it's better you came, now the decision will be made in front of you...."
Hassan gets up from his place and came towards the table to pick up the paper from the table.
"I don't come here to make a decision Mr. Hassan....."
In his life, it's the first time he calls him by his name, not uncle.
"I'm here to take my wife with myself.... and I will take her with myself."
His tone was strict now.
"Watch out, if you utter my sister's name from your tongue..... she is nothing to you and if there's any relation then I don't accept that relation...."
Now Shah Zain can't suppress his anger.
"Easy brother-in-law.... I also know talk loudly...."
In anger, Kawish also gets up from his seat.
"And second it doesn't make any difference to me whether you accept it or not..... she is my wife, I can take her with myself right now... and no one among you can stop me."
He glares at both father and son while saying.
"By the way, your courage deserves the accolade, after happening so many things you are standing here.... that relation was ended at that time when your father was with my wife....."
Mr. Hassan became silent for a moment when he was saying that.
"My father didn't do anything, you know that very well..... and because of that father's promise I am standing here....."
He looks straight into their eyes while saying.
There was something in his eyes which made Mr. Hassan lower his eyes.
"You got our answer we don't accept that relation.....sign these papers silently and end this story right here.... I don't want someone like you to have your influence on my sister...."
Infuriated Shah Zain, forwarded the papers to him.
That's what they both want to do very early, now when he came here so it's better either way.
"You can say whatever you want, you can think whatever you like, you can't change the fact, Noor is my wife I will take her with myself....."
He takes the divorce papers from Shah Zain's hand ripping them into two pieces and throws them on both.
"How dare you, I will....."
In his act, Shah Zain moves toward him in rage but Mr. Hassan holds him by his arm.
"I have much dare, if I got an opportunity I will show it to you.... but for now I came here to tell you the reason of my arrival.... I hope next time when I come you let Noor go with me without creating a fuss.... otherwise I know a lot of methods....."
He said it while looking straight in the eyes of Mr. Hassan and then glaring at Shah Zain for a while he moves out.
"I will not let you take my sister that easily Kawish Zeb, never at all....."
On his going back, Shah Zain addresses him angrily.


**********

She was lying on the bed closing her eyes to trying to get some sleep. But sleep was quite distant from her eyes.
In irritation, she turns to another side of the bed.
For a while, she lay closing her when an instantly someone face appeared behind her closed eyes.
Getting scared she opened her eyes. And gets up in a jerk.
She is in that state for the last three days. In fact, after that incident, she avoids going to the university.
Again and again, that scene keeps appearing in front of her eyes.
Suddenly her gaze moved to the bruise on her hand which has been healed. But still, she can feel his lips touching her finger.
Reminding that scene again her whole body started shivering while on her forehead tiny drops of sweat appeared.
What is this happening, why is this happening she was not understanding her state.
She started beating loudly then getting afraid of her state she rise from her place and came to the side of the window.
Opening the door of the window, she keeps standing here for a while and started breathing heavily.
When she started getting peace then she came to the bed without closing the door of windows. She lay on the bed and again tried to sleep by closing her eyes.
It's been a while since she lied in an instant she sense someone's presence around her. In fear, Noor opened her eyes to see but finding someone sitting close to her she opened her mouth for screaming. But he put his hand on her mouth to stop her voice from getting out.
"Sshhhh...... silent, totally silent......"
He bends on her and said more like whispering. While Noor after listening to his voice didn't find the courage to move a bit.
In the darkness, though she can't recognize his face clearly she does recognize his voice.
"You were missing me now......"
With his other hand, he caresses her forehead and takes his hand to her ear.
On his caressing, Noor feels her body becoming numb. How he came to know the state of her heart.
"If you are missing me that much then why are you not coming to the university...."
Feeling his finger stroking her back, Noor felt like losing her life.
Taking some courage, she tried to remove his hand from her back but he has also taken her hand in his hold.
"Don't scare..... I am not going to do anything...... but tomorrow if you don't come to uni, then......"
Taking his hand away from her mouth, he near his face to her face. His face was so close that Hoor can feel his warm breath on her lips.
With shivering lips, she tried hard to say something. But her voice seems to be lost.
"If you want to let go of any harsh trouble, then come to the university tomorrow....."
He stroked her lips with his thumb and bent more on her when he said that.
On his bending more on her, Noor shut her eyes stiffly getting scared.
Sometimes passed like that then in frightening she opened her eyes but find no one.
Noor hurriedly gets up to on the light but the room was empty.
She came towards the window to look at the lawn but no one was there.
Two guards were strolling here and there. It clearly meant that no one can come to her room that easily.
"Is this was my dream......"
Saying to herself then again came to the bed. Now sleep was far away from her eyes.
