When he left her in the room, a maid along with a beautician came in giving her some clothes and applied concealer to cover the marks on her face. Then the driver took her to the haveli. On reaching the haveli, she found no one there. The guard informed her of today's incidents. Almost the whole family had left to the hospital except Alizey. Asma Aunty after knowing that Haseeb is in hospital had left already along with Haya and Saif and after that Dua was in her father's room when he had suddenly fallen down to the floor, his hand on his heart. Dua had immediately called Irtaza and Shehryaar and then screamed for everyone in the house. Ammara, Haroon, her grandfather and grandmother had instantly came and took him to the hospital. Zahra was alone in the haveli. She was sitting in her room along with Alizey, who was sleeping peacefully. Zahra's head rested against the headboard, her eyes closed. She was extremely tensed. Her mind was filled with alot of horrendous thoughts. At one sid

"Now Zahra what will happen?" Haseeb asked her as they both were sitting in his room. Zahra came to say a sorry and thankyou to him. She was so thankful to him that even he tried to protect her, today. "I dont know." She whispered looking down, unsure about the calamities which will be occuring in her future. "Zahra betrayal was not the way to get out that situation. In any case your betrayal cannot be justified. I understand that Irtaza bhai shouldn't have forced you into a relation, he did wrong but betrayal in my eyes is the worst punishment. I've seen admiration and love for you in his eyes. And only for you. No one else. He is a man who does not trust someone easily but he trusted you. And just think Zahra when it would have fell upon him that all the time you were acting infront of him and you had betrayed him. His heart would have shattered into pieces." Haseeb explained. "I know. But I didnt have any other option." She whispered looking down, her guilt surfacing up. "Zahra

Her heart jumped to her throat, when she felt body he had pressed his body against hers and her whole body begin to shiver. The pungent smell of alcohol invaded her senses. He was drunk. His shirt had blood spots on it, and this thought was making her tremble whose blood it might be of. He removed hair from her neck, giving a clear view of her neck to him. She felt goosebumps when his hot breath fanned there. He placed a soft kiss and placed his chin at her neck, pressing her body tightly against hers. And then he uttered the most dreadful words ever. "Should we continue from where we left?" He whispered near her ear and these words were enough for her to shake with fear. "Pl..ease" she begged. "I think we should." He said and grabbed her arm, dragging her towards his room. She begin to wriggle against his firm grip. She was continuously trying to snatch her arm away from him but he wasn't getting affected much. "Lea..ve me. Ple...ase." she cried out, shaking with fear. When t

The sun was all set. It was morning. A new day has started but nothing was new for her. Whole night she wasnt able to sleep. The incident played in her mind on and on. She wanted to run away from him. She wanted to hide from him. She can't face him again. She was terrified now. She didnt know why but she missed the old Irtaza, which was kind, caring and listened to all her demands and wishes. He had made her see heaven in the last two weeks of her life. She might have developed a liking towards her of Daniyal wasnt in her heart. Daniyal Her thoughts were messed up. She was extremely worried about his life. She had no idea how Daniyal will be able to escape his captivity and this thought was haunting her more that what Irtaza had done to him. His shirt was quite bloodied last night. Her life was totally crumbled. She wanted to get out of this mess. And Irtaza's demand was a cherry on top. Last night she had answered him with a yes but with this thought was on her mind that she'll be

"Zahra wake up" Dua shook her body, trying to wake her up who was sleeping soundly without any worry. "Noooooo. Not yet!" She slurred in her sleepy voice, pulling the pillow over her head. "Stupid. Wake up. You've to get ready. Today is your rukhsati." Her eyes wide opened as her words registered in her mind and she abruptly sat up, rubbing her eyes. "What?" "Yes. The beautician is waiting for you" Dua announced. "Where?" "In your mother's room. You'll be getting ready there. Its already 11 and the function is at 5 so get up, hurry up before Dadi comes here." Zahra nodded her head. Her heart felt heavy. Finally the day has arrived and no miracle happened which could save her. She got up and went inside the washroom to take a shower. She was fearful what Irtaza will be doing with her at night. She had agreed to him that night. She was so afraid to face him. She didnt want this rukhsati. She didn't want this marriage. And today is the day, she has to leave everyone and settle h
