Chapter 8

"What's the matter, are you feeling unwell....."
Shah Zain who was driving her to the university gazes at Noor who was sitting silently beside him.
"Yes, Bhai (brother) I am fine......why, what happened?"
She moves herself toward Shah Zain.
"Today you told me yourself for going to the university that's why I doubted that today Noor herself wants to go to the university......"
He said mischievously looking at her but Noor on his saying can't even smile.
From yesterday night she is so much frightened, she was not getting that whatever happened to her yesterday is that was her illusion or real.
Now she was feeling headaches because of thinking too much. And today she is coming to the university just because of getting scared of what he said.
While it is still unknown to the fact if he really came to her or not.
"What happened, why are you silent.....is there anything worrisome?"
Seeing her silent, Shah Zain asked her worriedly.
He is too much concerned about her even for her small matters.
Moreover, now for the safety of Noor, he has also hired guards in his house since the day he met with Kawish.
In fact, in the university, he also keeps a man for Noor security who always keeps watching her.
"No Bhai, there's nothing, if I am worried about anything then I will surely tell you."
She tried to show him her smiley face.
She wants to tell him, but she herself was not sure so what she could tell him.
"This is the thing, my soul, that you don't tell your distress, your brother has to do something to know your distress......"
In his tone, there was profound love for Noor.
"Right, then tell me one thing truly.....is there anything in uni that keeps you distressed..... I mean to say is someone troubling you in the uni?"
Stopping the car in front of the uni, he asked her this last question.
On her brother's question, Noor wants to tell him that someone gazing at her keeps her troubling.
She feels like he will take her far away from everyone.
Now that man also troubles her in her dreams. She just keeps thinking about it, she doesn't dare to tell all this to her brother.
"No Bhai, everything is fine....."
In a few words, she ends the conversation and came out of the car.
"Listen take care of yourself......."
Shah Zain didn’t forget to admonish her and then move forward his car at speed. She keeps looking at his car till it vanishes from her eyes.

**************

She was standing on the bus stand waiting for the bus but the bus seems to be far from coming.
She watches time on her wristwatch, it is getting seven o clock.
She becomes more anxious after watching time. It means she was standing here for the last half hour. Till then she will be at home.
"Uffff..... Minal you must learn to do work quickly, now see how much late it is, second Ammi will also be worried.
She was not getting worried about her mother.
Today there's was much work in the company, which has taken a lot of time in finishing.
She keeps gazing at her right and left but the bus is far from seeing till now.
"Today Ammi will surely choke me from my throat, she already doesn't approve my this job, and on top of that she already is furious at me for late-arriving every day."
She was looking on the other side when a car came to stop near her. In fear, Minal takes two steps back.
When the door of the car opened, Shah Zain came out of it. A frown formed on his forehead after seeing Minal here.
She turns her gaze to the other side to ignore him.
"Sit in my car, I will drop you at your home."
He stood near her on her back when addressing her.
"No thanks, my bus is coming, I will go myself."
She looks at him for a while and said in irritation.
"I'm saying to go and sit in my car, I will drop you......"
He said again more like ordering her. In his saying, Minal feels like her blood started boiling.
"Mr. Shah Zain it's a road, not your office that you started ordering me here, when I said to you that I will go myself, then you don't need to worry....."
After saying her she moves forward but Shah Zain grabs her from her wrist to stop her moving away.
"What's this, let go of my hand......"
On Minal such daring, Shah Zain's frown becomes deeper as well as his eyes were also filled with anger.
"When I said to you to go with me, are you not getting me......if you keep waiting here for the bus, then your whole night will be here......."
"Then what is your problem from that if I keep standing here for the whole night....."
She gazes at him with eyes filled with anger.
While Shah Zain keeps gazing at her interestingly, she looks beautiful to him in every gesture.
Her eyes turning red with anger were enough to kill Shah Zain.
"Perhaps you are not listening, I said to let go of my hand....."
While saying she also tried to free her wrist from his grasp, but the one in front of her seems to be much strong.
"Let alone listening, since I saw you I can't look at anyone else....."
He gazes at her face lovingly while saying. And he takes one step closer to her.
" Don't consider me like those girls who keep themselves surrounding you every now and then..... and leave my hand otherwise I will start shouting, and then what will going to happen you know that better....."
She keeps struggling to let herself free from his hold, but Shah Zain was standing silently seeing her struggling.
"Do shouting, it doesn't bother me because I am Shah Zain.... and Shah Zain doesn't afraid of anyone."
He looks straight into her eyes while saying strongly.
Listening to him, Minal just silently gazes at him.
"Now move silently, and sit in the car otherwise I can do this work by myself.... and I don't have any problem in doing this......"
He said mischievously on which Minal just glares at him.
Minal looks at her surroundings but she saw no one near her.
The road was abandoned.
It means he can do whatever he was saying.
"Let's go, miss....."
He let go of her wrist while saying and directed her to sit in the car.
Minal, who was alone now, was forced to sit in his car after listening to his threat.
If it was some other time then she will never sit in his car with him. But now she remembers her mother worried face.
Shah Zain glanced at silently sitting Minal then he started his car.
