Humsafar (short stories)

Ishq

He called his father who picked up the call on the second bell

"Hello Assalamalikum Baba"

Inan who was lost in her world heard him and started screaming

"No, please Zavi Bhai I am sorry this will not happen again."
She started panicking and wanted to snatch his phone but was very scared of him

He raised his hand indicating for her to stop

"Who's it Zaviyaar?"
ALI Hassan asked his son

"That's what I am gonna tell you"
But again got disturbed by her screams

"Please don't do this. What will he think about me? Please have some mercy"
But he covered her face with his palm and started glaring at her and she was about to get a heart attack.

"Just shut up"
He said emphasizing each word and she shuddered badly

He told everything to his baba that how her childhood bestie trapped her and all that she told him

"It's not her mistake Zavi"
Ali told his son

"Still baba"
He couldn't complete it as he interrupted

"Did you hurt her?"

"N No"
He stammered

"Bring her here. I will tell Sara and Rehman. There's only one thing I can do for her. She's so stupid who can get trapped easily. I have to make a very important decision for her but with her parent's permission. You just take her here. I will tell you what to do after asking her parents."
He ordered

"Okay baba"
Saying this he started driving toward Islamabad

"Where are you taking me?"
She gathered the courage and asked after fifteen minutes while trembling. He didn't reply so she quit the whole while praying for her well being

"I want to go washroom"
She said with closed eyes feeling embarrassed

He sighed loudly and after some minutes parked the car in front of a hotel

He kept her dupatta on her head covering her head. He was about to pull the dupatta down to cover her chest but she moved aside feeling afraid. He moved back immediately realizing his mistake. She stelled her dupatta. He got out of the car

"Come"
He forwards his hand which she held hesitantly and started walking towards the hotel

"Bhai I can go"
She whispered

"I will not let a stupid girl like you go alone"
He said glaring at her

She entered the washroom and he was standing outside. As it was morning so she was the only girl present in the female washroom. She came out of the washroom and after wiping her hands she held the shelf and started sobbing loudly keeping her dupatta aside. Zaviyaar who heard her sobbing came inside and stood behind her but she ignored him and continue crying. He held her by her shoulders and turned her towards him

"Stop crying"
He said softly

She hugged him tightly and he got shocked

"Bhai dar lag raha hai. Ghar jana hai please"
She said holding his shirt in her fist

"You shouldn't have done that on the first place"
Listening him she started crying more so he started rubbing her back to calm her

"Sab dante gein aur mama baba bohat ghussa karein ge. Baba ne mana kiya tha akele kisi ke bhi sath jane se"
Saying this she started sobbing loudly

"Acha bas kuch nahi hota aise nahi rote"
She hugged him more tightly and started crying more

"Inan stop it. Somebody will hear. What will they think about us?"
He said coldly
