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
Possession 26 (ii) We're running away!
And after a short while they both were done eating there food. Irtaza and Zahra both were leaving the resturaunt when her eyes fell on a young boy sitting on the footpath mending shoes. He was a cobbler. Zahra asked Irtaza to buy some food for him and give him some money while Irtaza called his men from the 'curbing child labour' agency and ordered them to support the boy along with his family. Irtaza's heart swelled with pride when Zahra asked to buy the boy food as well. She wasnt like other. She was different and really special to him. While Zahra was surprised that Irtaza had opened centres to support the poor people. She was really impressed. Despite being a heartless mafia don, Irtaza had opened various agencies and centres to help and support the needy and poor people. He knew how miserably poor people are living in this country so he decided to do something for them. They both reached the haveli and he stopped the car infront of the haveli gates. He had spent a good qua

"When should I come to pick you up?" Haseeb asked. Zahra didn't want to go with any driver and fortunately Haseeb's, Zahra's,
Possession 27(ii) Running away
An hour passed and it was 11 oclock when she got a call from Daniyal. "Hello Zahra. I'm standing at the back side of your university." "Ok ok I'm coming." She answered cutting the call and hurriedly wore her burkha, and covered her face with a mask so no guard could recognise her. She suddey felt so happy. Her legs begin to move fastly as she almost ran towards the back gate of university and got out of the gate. Her eyes fell on Daniyal who was standing by the car. And time stopped for her. The world stopped. The people stopped. Her heart begin to beat fastly. The moment arrived for which she was waiting since so long. It felt to her as if he was the only person present there and no one else. Her legs begin to shake with happiness while looking towards him.

She took a step towards him and her eyes filled with tears. He was standing
Possession 28. In his court
Haseeb turned the car towards Irtaza's office. His heart was beating fast. By Irtaza's tone, he could figure it out that he was angry. Extremely angry. And this thought was making him shiver. He was afraid of his big cousin brother. And he was afraid for Zahra as well. He was shocked to hear that Irtaza and Zahra are already married and his heart wrenched for Zahra that she was forced into this relation. So he decided to help her, trying his best to somehow save her from Irtaza and cover the situation but after getting his call, he could hardly save himself from him. On the other hand, Zahra's whole body was shivering. She was tightly holding both her hands together. A terror Utter terror, had hazed her mind. Her breaths were labored. She was hyperventilating. Her heart was thumping fast. Her stomach churned with fear. Her limbs were shaky. Her eyes had tears in them which were freely flowing out making them red. She could practically hear the beating of her wild heart in her ea
