Possession 22 Pangs of guilt
Both of them were on their way back to haveli when Zahra's eyes fell on a man selling cotton candies. Her mouth filled with drool as she desirously looked at those pink cotton candies and she couldn't stop herself. "Irtazaaa stop the car!" She almost screamed causing him to instantly apply brakes making the car wheels produce a screeching sound, followed by the honks and screeching sounds of those cars as well which abruptly stopped behind them making the traffic jam. "What Zahra?! What happened?!" He asked worriedly. "Woh.... asal mein..... I want that." She said, cutely pointing toward the man selling the cotton candies. (I...actually) "Did you make the car stop for this?" He asked and she nodded her head sheepishly. His lips formed a thin line as he took a deep breath to calm himself down before releasing the brake and moving the car again. Zahra got the hint that he was angry and this made her panic immediately as she began to blabber whatever came into her mouth, which she
Possession 23. Under the starry sky
Soon the party was over and everyone went back to their respective rooms. Zahra on reaching her room immediately called Daniyal and explained her situation to him. "Daniyal I can't do it anymore. He is being so nice to me! Please find another way to get me out of this situation! My conscience is eating me! Daniyal I can't betray him! It's hurting my feelings. Please Daniyal, I don't want him to trust me! I don't want him to think that I've accepted this relationship! I can't put up a facade anymore!! It's enough for me! I don't want to play games with him anymore!" She explained in her troublesome voice. "Listen Zahra do you want me?" "Yes I want you but not through this way when I've to hurt someone in the process. Can't we simply run away?" "Look you're not doing nothing wrong-" "Then why my conscience is eating me?" "Only because you have a pure heart that's why you're feeling guilty for that monster who forced you into this relation. We've no other way other than this Zahra.
Possession 24. Forgiveness
"Forgive me," he uttered, his forehead still against hers. Zahra was gobsmacked now. Daniyal's words lingered in her mind. 'Had he for once, just once said sorry to you for what he did?' Now here he was, asking for forgiveness for what he did to her, and here she was backstabbing her. Remorse again painfully clutched her heart as her throat constricted with tears. Her heartfelt heavy as a sharp pain shooted in her throat indicating her tears were at bay. "I'm sorry for what I did to you." He uttered again. He would've died but never have said a sorry if it was someone else than Zahra. Her eyes begin to glisten with unshed tears as she looked at him and at last, a tear slipped down her eye. Tear of pure remorse, her conscience was eating her. One after another, they continued to slip down her face like a waterfall. She couldn't hold them anymore and out of instinct pressed his body against hers in a bone-crushing hug. She begin to hiccup on his chest as he massaged her hair and
Possession 25 (i) Suicide
Irtaza was in his office. His brain was filled with a lot of assumptions as he continued to think about Zahra's confessions the night before. His brain didn't believe that she loved him, though his heart wanted to trust her words. He wanted her to love him but his mind wasn't accepting the fact that she was telling the truth making a chain of questions arise in his mind. From the very start, his heart always had compelled him to trust her which he did but the change in her attitude, her nervousness, her confession that night that she loved him was making him more and more confused. He was in a dilemma for the first time in his life. He was damn sure that Zahra was hiding something from him, his brain kept on forcing him not to trust her on the other hand, his heart, wanted him to trust her, believe her. He was in love with her but past experiences in his life enabled him to trust anyone. He was confused about whether to trust Zahra or not because trust is the base of every relations
Possession 25 (ii) No one can hurt you
That was the day when Irtaza went straight to his grandfather and asked him to teach the mafia skills. His heart was shattered into pieces and the constant sadistic and barbaric practicing of the mafia at such a young age molded him into a real sadistic notorious mafia don. For years he had encaged himself inside his body. At family gatherings, he'll usually sit and observe everyone. If he wanted to share anything then he had his brother Shehryaar with him. After his mother's death, his father was so disturbed that he could hardly pay any attention to his children. Irtaza was never an expressive person nor the one who could trust someone easily, especially after his mother's death nor the one who could be deceived by someone's beautiful and charming looks until one day when his eyes settled on Zahra. Flashback For the past several days, he had been working hard on his shooting skills and today was the day when his grandfather decided to take a test on him. He took him to the baseme
Possession 26 (I) The dinner
Several minutes have passed and now Zahra was calmed. She felt safer in his presence. She knew he won't let anyone hurt her. He will protect her as he promised. But she was forgetting that she now only needs to protect herself from him because if he came to know about the games which she is playing with her, hell will break on her. Zahra noticed her whereabouts, he wasn't going towards the haveli and she panicked as that thought once again consumed her mind that he got to know about Daniyal. It was on her mind all the time like a looming threat. "Where are we going?" she asked. "Somewhere" was his short reply. Internally, she was panicking, again as many negative thoughts surrounded her mind. 'There is nothing like that Zahra. He doesn't know about anything. If he did he wouldn't have acted so sweet then.' Her subconscious chided in making her relax. 'It was all because those boys were following you. Why did he come to take you from university when it was Haseeb's duty. He migh
