Neha stepped out of the car and started walking towards the University gates. She was walking towards her department when someone grabbed her by her elbow and pulled her at the corner. She would have screamed if she wouldn't have known that her greedy fiancee, Arman, is the only person in the world who could do something like this. "What the hell is wrong with you Arman?" Neha yelled at him.
"Whatever, my birthday is close as you know. What are you planning to give me this time?" Arman asked.
"A bottle filled with poison would do, right?" Neha replied sarcastically.
"I told my friend that you are giving me a Rolex watch with iPhone X." Arman replied.
"Yes, in your dreams. I'm not giving you anything." Neha replied in an angry tone.
Arman grabbed her by her arms and pinned her by the wall. "I already have told my friends, now you have to give me a Rolex watch and an iPhone or you'll regret the consequences." Arman replied through his gritted teeth.
"Aaaooo, Arman let me go. You are hurting me." Neha cried in pain.
"What's going on here? You again, how many times do I have to tell you that you are not allowed in the students area of this University, unless you are or were or will be a student." Professor Ali said angrily. Professor Riaz Ali was Neha's English professor and he had known her since she was born. Professor Ali was a cousin of Samad and Arshad. Their fathers were siblings. He had always looked after Neha because he knew that Neha's fiance is not a good man.
"Come on uncle, I'm just here to meet my fiance, why are you so angry?" Arman replied.
"Professor, I am a professor here. And as for your meeting with your fiance…" professor Ali turned towards the guard and yelled. "... Guard." The guard heard professor Ali and came running.
"Yes professor?" The security guard asked.
"Next time if I see this man in this University, I'll make sure you will be fired the very next day. Now throw him out or you want to get fired now and here?" Professor Ali roared at the guard. He shook his head and dragged Arman out of the University.
"Thank you professor." Neha said as she wiped off the tears.
"It's okay kid. I don't know what your father had seen in him. He ain't deserve you." Professor Ali said in a disappointed tone.
"I have no idea. I hope my God will save me from this animal." Neha replied between her quiet sobs.
"Go to your class Neha. It's time." Professor Ali said and patted her head.
"Okay Sir, have a great day." She replied and went towards her class.
"I wish my God will save you from this ill-literate animal. And Grant you a wise and loving man, who isn't greedy. Amen." Professor Ali prayed for Neha and went to attend his class.
------------------------------------------------
Neha was walking towards her class when she saw her best friend, Zara. "Hey Zara, have you prepared for today's test? Professor Khan will eat all who aren't prepared." Neha asked her friend.
"Neha, you are the biggest mood killer in the world. And yes, I am all prepared for the test." Zara replied." What happened to your face?" Zara added.
"Nothing, why?" Neha asked back.
"You have a face that says I have seen my jerky fiance today." Zara replied.
"That's because I had seen his face this morning. He again created a scene in the University. What a jerk." Neha replied.
"Are you kidding me? What does he want now?" Zara asked angrily.
"His birthday is coming and he told his friends that I'm giving him a Rolex watch and iPhone X. Can you imagine, he does this to me every year and nobody stops him. I don't know why baba had chosen that jerk for me?" Neha replied and her eyes moisted up.
"You should ask you Chachu again. Just tell him you don't want to be with him." Zara advised her friend.
"Like he's ever going to hear. You have no idea, Chachi and bhaiya had fought him for me, but he only says that baba fixed me and I will be married to him whether I want or not." Neha replied and a tear escaped her eye. She wiped it off and kept walking.
"I'm so sorry Neha, if I would have a brother, I would have fixed you with him. But I can't do anything for you." Zara replied. She pulled Neha in a sisterly hug. "I hope someone will save you from that jerk." Zara prayed for her best friend.
"Amen. Thank you Zara." Neha thanked her.
"Now let's get that test done." Zara said and pulled Neha in their class.
Whole day Neha was busy with her different classes and practicals. Neha didn't notice that her friend was nowhere to be found. It was 6 in the evening when she was ready to go back home and looked for her friend. She looked everywhere, even asked around to find her but she didn't find her. At last she called her number. It rang three times then Zara picked up.
"Hey, what's up?" Zara said from the other side of the line.
"Where the hell are you Zara? I am looking for you everywhere." Neha yelled at her friend.
"Oh, why are you looking for me?" Zara asked back in confusion.
"What the hell Zara? Didn't I tell you I'll be going home with you today?" Neha yelled again.
"Oops! I'm so sorry Neha. I literally forgot, I'm home actually. Why don't you call Mustafa Bhai? He'll pick you up." Zara replied sweetly.
"Thanks for your advice, you are good for nothing Zara." Neha huffed in anger and hung up. She sighed and started walking towards the gates.
"At this time I won't be able to find any University bus. I have to walk to the bus stand to get myself a ride." She thought and kept walking. She stepped out of the University boundaries and started walking towards the bus stand. She looked around, she was walking alone, there was no one else. She got a bit terrified, but kept walking. A few minutes later she heard an engine roar, she looked behind but found nothing. She shook her head and kept walking. Suddenly a new car stopped right in front of her, blocking her way. A very handsome and tall man came out of the car. But Neha was too scared to read his features. He looked pissed. He grabbed Neha by the elbow and pushed her into the car. Neha started screaming but no one was around to hear her pleads.
"No, please let me go. No one can pay a ransom for me,I am a beggar. Please let me go." Neha pleaded as she tried her best to get herself free from his tight and strong hold.
"Shut up. I'm not here to kidnap you for money." The strange man replied angrily.
"Then why are you kidnapping me?" Neha asked him again.
"To marry you." He replied to her and pushed her into the car. All her screams and pleadings were unheard, because no one was around.
Laila's phone started ringing and shit picked it up. "Hello." Laila greeted her friend Sobia, who was calling her."Where the hell are you, Laila?" Sobia asked."At home, why are you asking?" Laila asked back."I can't tell you that on call. You have to come to my place, right now." Sobia explained."What happened? I am not coming. I have to go to the salon. Then on shopping." Laila declined her best friend."For Gosh sakes Laila, if you don't come home right now, you are going to be stuck into the biggest problem of your life." Sobia threatened her.
Neha was sitting in the back seat of the car with that strange man. She looked at the driver and back to that strange man. "I just have to take care of this idiot with me. The driver sure is a lazy bottom. He won't be any problem for me." Neha thought and looked at the man sitting beside her."Please let me go. I don't know who you are and what do you want?" Neha said between her dramatical sobs."So now you don't even know him?" The driver asked and she glared at him."Keep your mouth zipped doofus or I will do that for you." Neha yelled and the driver's eyes widened in shock."Please, I swear I haven't seen you in my life
Arshad raised his hand upon his niece and Neha closed her eyes. But it never came. She opened her eyes again and found Azfar holding Arshad's hand. "I know Mr Ali that she is your daughter but now she is my wife and I will never allow anyone to insulate my wife like this." Azfar said in an anger laced voice."It's not what you think. Let me explain. I… " Neha tried to explain but was stopped in the middle by Arshad."I don't need your explanation Neha, I have never thought that you could think to take an extreme step like this. From now on, you are dead to us. Get out and never show us your face again." Arshad said and shut the door on her face. Neha fell on the ground and started sobbing hard."Chachu please, you can't do t
Azfar heard his alarm and he hit the snooze. He looked at Neha who was still sleeping soundly on her side of the bed. He smiled and went to her side. He sat on the edge of the bed and stroked her cheek with the back of his hand. His world was finally with him. He gulped hard when his eyes fell on her slightly parted lips. He took a deep breath to calm himself. He knew she would not let him touch her that easily. "You have no idea what you mean to me." He whispered and pecked her forehead.He then stood up and went to the bathroom. He took a quick shower and stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. Neha was up by then. Azfar stepped out of the bathroom and Neha screamed as she saw him half naked in front of her. He thought she might have had a nightmare. He quickly went to her side and sat b
After a joyful breakfast with her new family, Neha got ready for her University. It was her last semester and she didn't want to let go of what she had achieved by then. Azfar offered her a ride and she accepted it. She didn't want to show him that it wasn't a forced marriage for her. She was still pretending to be forced into this relationship. She didn't speak a single word and Azfar noticed it. He was feeling bad for forcing a lady into a relationship but he couldn't bear to see her with any other man. She was his and he made sure no other men would ever think about her the way he could think. He stopped the car by the University gate and turned to face Neha. "When will you be done by your classes?" He asked softly."I will be late. The practicals and tests and extra classes and…" she was explaining to him when he put his index finger
"You look more beautiful when you blush. This pink and red color on your skin makes me feel like you are a rose and I have to take care of you so you will stay fresh forever." He whispered in her ear. She looked at him with tears in her eyes. His smile fell and he cupped her face."What's wrong Neha? Did I say something wrong?" He asked her."You married me because of my face only." She replied and started sobbing hard."What? Are you in your senses? When did I tell you that I marry you for your face only?" Azfar asked her angrily."You said yourself, you fell in love with the pictures of me. You don't
After dinner, Neha and Azfar came back home after midnight. Fatima and Raheem were already in bed, sleeping peacefully. They quietly stepped into the house and went straight to their bedroom. Azfar put all the shopping bags on their bed and went to the closet. He emptied the biggest compartment of his wardrobe for Neha and then brought all the bags into the closet. One by one, he emptied all the bags and set her things into her wardrobe. Once done he brought Neha into the closet. "Now that your wardrobe is set, I want all my clothes back." He said in a friendly tone."Okay." She replied softly with a smile. He exited the closet and sat at the edge of the bed."Can't you sleep on the couch?" She asked and he turned to look at her with a raised brow.
"You think I'll let you live if you married another man. I don't think so." Arman roared at her loudly and Neha got scared. He raised his hand to slap her and she closed her eyes, as tightly as she could. But it never came. She opened her eyes again and found Azfar holding Arman's hand, stopping him. She quickly ran behind Azfar and held his arm tightly."You dare to even think of hurting her." Azfar roared at him."Step away from her. She is my fiance. And you, am I not enough for you?" Arman roared back. Azfar didn't reply to Arman but slammed his fist with Arman's face. Arman fell on the ground with a loud thud. He held his cheek which was red because of Azfar's hard punch.
