Parenthood - A Journey [COMPLETED]

17 : Meerab Murtasim Khan

"Murtasim Khan", he added. At first, Meerab didn't understand his meaning and raised her eyebrow questioning him but when she heard his reply. She ran away blushing hard hearing his statement which no longer looked cringe to her

"Meerab Murtasim Khan. You are just mine", he said and laughed when he saw her retreating figure. He checked his mobile phone to see missed calls from Bhaktu and decided to talk to him in an isolated place where nobody could hear them. He can't let Meerab take tension in this matter as his work is to remove her insecurities and this problem might increase her insecurities.

He got ready and took Bhaktu to an isolated place. This place is his favorite place because he comes here whenever he feels broken and doesn't have any way to come out. He pours his emotions in front of this lake as nature understands him more than people. He is a nature lover and feels that nature is also in love with him. He noticed his phone buzzing with Zubair's call and he put his mobile on airplane mode in anger. He doesn't want to start his day hearing his irritating voice. His wife already made it beautiful and he wanted to keep reminiscing about that moment.

He walked towards a rock and sat on it reminiscing the time when she confessed her love for him. This still looks like a dream to him, only he knows how he controlled himself from jumping onto the bed when she confessed her love for him. He understood her big yes in her no. He understood that she just said no and pushed him away because of her insecurities but from deep inside her heart, she loves him and her insecurities are the main reason she is pushing him away

"Sir how can I help?", Bhaktu asked which broke his trace and he looked at Bhaktu to talk to him

"Try to talk with those people who were in contact with the dead people and also if possible find strong proof against Zubair which we can use", Murtasim suggested

"But sir I need time for that and Zubair wants to prison you ", Bhaktu replied and looked down feeling guilty for not being able to help his Khan when he knew Murtasim was innocent. Murtasim kept quiet as he got lost in thinking about the consequences. If it was old Meerab, he would not have cared about her reaction because somewhere he thinks that she would never care if he lives or dies but now the situation is different and she is changed. He knows if he went out for a day, she would prepare a speech for him asking where he was and with whom. What he would reply? That he was in jail, just because his enemy wanted him to and he couldn't do anything even after knowing his innocence? From when did he become so weak? He knows she would be broken and what about their child? He doesn't want to leave them alone for a day and if he gets prisoned then he doesn't have any idea how much time he has to stay and his career is destroyed

"Sir I think we should go in the village for a few days", Bhaktu suggested and Murtasim flinched as he was thinking of Meerab and was not paying attention to what Bhaktu said. He asked him to repeat and when Bhaktu repeated his statement Murtasim replied

"What if he is calling me to put me in jail? I will not go leaving Meerab and our child. She... She is already scared Bhaktu. I don't know what to do. I'm sharing my married life because you have known me for 15 + years and you are like my best friend. Before Meerab I trusted you the most, I love Meerab but for once I can believe she can break my trust for her own reasons but I know you will never. That's why I'm opening in front of you. I will stop believing anyone if you break my trust", Murtasim thought to remind Bhaktu that he trusted him the most that's why he was talking with him as he felt like opening his heart in front of someone except Meerab. He can't talk with Meerab in this matter as she will get scared and will panic hearing this problem and might kill Zubair with her hands.

"I will never sir and understand you are thinking as a father but we can take her help. You said she studied law", Bhaktu suggested as he knows Meerab was a law student and thought she might help
