His Wrath

"With that shitty hands, you touched her picture."

He was tracing the sharp edge of the knife on his hand. The man was already squirming because of his torture when the sharp edge of the knife started cutting his skin.

On that, a loud shriek came out of his throat that echoed in the room.

"That's the hand that was capturing her every move with the camera. And how it will sound if these hands of yours are left from your body."

He said while mercilessly marking a deep cut on his other hand. The man squirmed in his place now and fell on the floor.

While his painful screams were getting more and more.

While his men standing in the room were looking at the scene in front of them as if a movie scene was playing.

"What happened? Is that your all courage? How are you going to endure the more I'm going to do with you?"

He leaned on the man who was lying on the floor and squirming in the pain. His demeanor seemed cold like ice. His eyes were fuming in anger as he wants to burn the man with the fire oozing out of his eyes.

For a moment, his men also felt fear looking at his beast and wild reaction.

"Please don't kill me....... I...... I was just receiving the order to follow her."

This man was pleading to him for his life. Because it seems clear to him that the man standing in front of him will not forsake him.

But he ignored his pleading and signaled to the two men standing in front of him. And those men got his signal, they came forward and grabbed that man with both hands.

"Please forgive me, I was just doing my work, let me go."

Before that man continue his pleading, the voice of cracking bone echoed in the room, and along with that painful scream of that man resonated.

His man not only broke the bones of his fingers but his hand bones as well. They were present in the flat of that man. It's located in an abandoned area so no one was there to listen to his painful screaming.

"Who gives you order and what was that order, don't try to utter a lie, otherwise..."

He stopped his man with the signal of his hand and addressed him. He was badly wriggling in the grasp of both men.

"I don't know who gives me the order, I was just instructed to follow that girl. And for that, I received a hefty amount."

That man was blabbering nonstop. It feels to him that after telling the truth he will set him free. And it happened as he said, a heart-wrenching scream again reverberated in the room.

"I....... I.....am telling the truth. I don't know anything, forgive me."

Now this pain is beyond his endurance. He was lying on the floor and squirming like a waterless fish.

"You did a very big mistake. You laid a hand on my very precious thing and Wadan Ali Shah didn't forgive such a mistake but give punishment."

He signaled his both men and came to the second room attached to this room. Here a lot of pictures of Hadia were posted on the wall.

In some, she was smiling and in some, she was talking with someone else. In some pictures, she was eating food in the canteen or writing. Numberless pictures of her were present there.

His anger further accelerated on seeing all this. His nerves constricted. He was protecting Hadia more than his life but still, it happened the second time in the last three years. Something is amiss in his protection of her.

Before someone could harm Hadia, he further tightened his security to prevent something like that from happening.

"I will never let you reach to her, it's my promise with you."

He addressed that man, who was doing all this, in his thought and take off all of her pictures from the wall one by one.

While he was listening to the continuous screaming of that man coming out of the second room. His men were completing his half-done work.

"What you will have to do with his dead body, you know your work very well."

He came back to this room and said to his men. He gives a glance to that man who was taking the last breaths of his life.

For the last time, he looked at his men and then came out of the room when his mobile, which was in the pocket of his black leather jacket, started ringing. This halted his steps.

The frown on his forehead further deepened upon looking at the number shining on the screen. He picked up the call and took the phone to his ear.

"Yes speak, why you called at that time? Is something wrong?"

He asked in his cold tone. But his hold on the phone tightened after listening to what has been said on the other side of the phone.

"You don't do anything just keep under your watch from distance, call me when I reach home, I'm coming."

After done with his saying, he cut the call and dashed out in rage.

********

"Hadia......Hadia."

Fuming in anger, he entered the home. His loud and dominating voice echoed in the whole Shah house.

"Hadia come outside, immediately. You can't hide from me."

He was going upstairs towards her room. Now she must be in her room.

"Wadan stop, now you are very angry and she is also scared. It's not good to talk with her right now."

On the voice of Dawood, his brisk steps stopped at a place.

"How can you stop me despite knowing that from where I came now and what I did before coming?"

He turned towards him and reasoned with him. If it wasn't Dawood and someone else then he wouldn't listen to him. Because the man standing in front of him has very much importance in his life.

For him, he was both his mother as well as father.

"I know everything but you look at her condition. Since she came to know that you got to know about her coming out of the university, she has been a crying mess. Now she is in very much fear and she is scared of you."

Dawood was making him understand in calm. But his rage was still far from gone.

"If this girl keeps on showing such stunts then one day this girl will vanish not by someone else but it will be me who will do it by my own hands."

He harshly held the handle of Hadia's room door.

"If she comes to know why you are doing all this for her then she will never take such a move. So talk with her calmly."

He further instructed him and then left him there. When his anger further rose. He harshly knocked on her door.

"Hadia opens the door, I know you are listening to me."

His voice again becomes stern and strict. But no response was received from inside. He again beat the door loudly.

"What do you think this lifeless door will stop me from coming to you?"

Hadia was standing silently looking at the door. His loud and cold coming on the other side now made her tremble to her core. Her heart started beating unevenly.

Right now she felt as if she came from a long distance and covered a long way.

"If you are thinking that then you are in great illusion. So open the door otherwise I know my way how to open this door."

Not only his voice but his tone also became more rigid now. Standing close to the door, Hadia felt her legs become lifeless on noticing the harshness in his tone.

She knows she did a mistake. Now she was scared of the punishment he was about to give her. And why should she not be scared, the one angry glare of that heart of stone standing across the door was enough for her to doom her.

"Allah, what I do now? Please send someone for my help, please."

She was twisting her fragile fingers and went towards the washroom. As she knows that this door will be open any time soon.

And now she was scared of coming face to face with him who was fuming in anger to a dangerous extent.

She has just taken a few steps when with a loud thud the door of her room opened. In fright, she looked back and her steps becomes rooted in her place.

He was standing in front of her with a hard glaring look. In a rage, his eyes were becoming totally red. Because of opening the door with full force, he was breathing heavily.

He was harshly fisting his both hands trying to suppress his anger and outburst.

"See...... I...... I......did...... didn't...... have.....any.....m... mistake. I....did.... best to avoid her."

Sensing him moving towards herself she hardly completes her saying. While he ignored her explanation and darted slowly toward her.

"Despite knowing that you are committing a mistake and you will have to face the punishment, you still went."

He stressed on his each and every word and coming more near to her. And she, in fear and agitation, took back steps to distance herself.

"Please forgive me, I...... I don't want to go, but....."

It seems as if she was left with no words in her explanation.

But as her back collided with the door of the washroom, she wetted her dry lips with her tongue and looked here and there to find out the way to escape.

While he was noticing her each and every movement. Only then he puts his arms on either side of her fragile body to stop her from escaping.

Only he knows how much relief he felt after finding her perfectly fine in front of himself.

Today, if she got a little bruise then no one knows what he is going to do.

"Today if something had happened to you because of your silliness or you caught in some trouble, then..."

He stopped for a moment in his saying and gazed attentively at her face which turned yellow.

"Then by swear of you I was about to make your condition such that no one can save you from me....no one can."

He was clearly warning her. While listening to his last sentence Hadia's throat dried up completely.

He was glaring at her with a hard look and moves closer to her. Now the distance between both was quite little.

In this close proximity, Hadia's innocent heart started thumping very badly. Fear was taken over by some strange and serene feeling.

"It will not happen again.... I..... I promise you."

She was scared of this proximity. Her condition always turns like that in front of this stone man.

"From now onwards I will not let to create such an opportunity, my little princess."

Listening to her shivering voice, he smiled sarcastically. He stood closer leaving just an inch of distance from her. While she was staring at him in unknowingly.

"What..... What do you mean?"

Feeling his warm breaths on her face, she felt like a fire is coming out of her face.

"It means from today onwards you are not going to university anymore. You will study at home and for one week you are not allowed to come out of this room."

He said grazing his finger on the mark of her forehead. On her beautiful face, this mark is because of him.

"You..... You can't do this."

A cold chill ran through her body feeling the warm touch of his finger on her forehead.

"I can do anything. If I want I can tie you in this room for your whole life..... And you can't do anything."

He distanced himself from her with heart burning smile on his face. On his saying as if she came back to her senses.

"It's your punishment. Going out without my permission and for further I also thought about it."

He glared at her with stern eyes and went out of her room. He feared if he stopped there a little more than definitely he will torture her.

He wants to save Hadia not only from his anger but also from himself.
