"Wo pehli bazaar me nazar aaye kuch is tarah,
Ke shikari unka shikar karne nikal pada...
Unki masumiyat hi kuch aesi thi ke na jane kab,
Wo apne jal me khud hi shikar ho gaya..."
-Mushaid Shaikh.

(At the first glance she was viewed in such a way,
That the hunter began his hunt...
But such was her innocence that he didn't knew when,
He himself got caught in his net...)

6 years before...

"Dad why can't we stay at our old house? I like it." The thirteen-year-old girl asked her dad.

"I think we got over this topic yesterday." Her dad replied while driving his car. "But dad I..." He stopped her in the middle and said, "don't worry princess, I'm sure you'll like our new house more than the old one."

After reaching their new home they got out of their car. "Come on princess, let's get inside." Her dad told her, looking behind she pulled her tongue out in order to tease her younger brother and sister as they all knew her dad loved her more than her siblings. Instead of getting angry, her siblings hugged their mom who gave them a sweet smile. She knew her mom loved her siblings more than her so looking at them she stomped her foot and went behind her dad.

After going inside her dad showed her, her room. She was overjoyed knowing that from now on she'll have her own room and a new reason to tease her siblings as they didn't have their separate rooms.

"Hey, Sabil throw the ball yaar. Where's your attention man?" Zimad asked Sabil who was busy staring at the newcomer in their locality.

"Who are they?" Sabil asked. "That man is Mr Hisham Faruqi. He's the owner of that new house which they entered. He has an acquittance with my father. By the way, why are you suddenly interested in him?" Zimad asked out of curiosity.

"At our new prey." Replied Sabil with a smirk and they both started laughing. "But the prey is a little bit small for the hunt," Zimad commented.

"Don't you dare interfere, this prey is mine to hunt," Sabil warned Zimad. "Take it easy man but I should warn you in advance that this man is a weird person. He doesn't care for the world if it comes to his daughter. Be careful." Zimad warned Sabil.

Then they started playing their game again least aware of the angry stare that Mr Faruqi was throwing at them especially Sabil. Mr Faruqi saw how that boy was looking at his daughter and was fully aware of these playboys and their techniques to lure innocent girls but he knew how to protect his Zaala and he has faith in his daughter that she won't ever humiliate him.
