"What's your name?"
Zaviyaar stammered
"Inan Rehman"
Inan said looking down at her lap
And in a reflex action, Zaviyaar Hassan raised his hand but before it could hit her he stopped himself
"Ahh"
Inan covered her face with her hands and started trembling badly
"What the hell is this Inan? Were you out of your mind? Oh my God, I can't believe this. I used to hate these kind of stupid girls but my own cousin was pulling the same stunt. I can't believe that phupho and uncle have given you so much freedom. If you were with me I would have tied your hands and feet to teach you a lesson after this. Our family's respect was at stake because of you stupid girl. Look at your age. Do you think you are capable of traveling again without any knowledge about your whereabouts? What if I wasn't here? What if he would have raped you? I would have to kill you with my own hands. I will not let this go easily. You will be punished for this. You will regret this huge mistake dear cousin"
He held her arms tightly in his hand and started shaking her
"Zaviyaar Bhai please le leave m me I am sorry it w wasn't m my mistake"
She stammered between hiccups
"Just shut up Inan. See what I will do with you. Just wait and watch."
He screamed loudly
He pushed her and she hit her back on the car's door. She pulled her knees on the seat and kept her head on them holding her arms around it and started hiccuping and sobbing loudly
Zaviyaar was shocked to know that she was his cousin. He last met her when she was ten. He used to stay out of the city to study and used to visit home very little. That's why his interaction with his Phupho was very little. He was a huge introvert so he never interacted with his Phupho's daughters. As they lived in Lahore so they used to visit Islamabad once a year and it was very rare that Zaviyaar would be there during their holidays. But after Eshal's eighth grade they stopped staying there as they got busy with their studies and since then she used to avoid going to her Mamu's house. No, she wasn't an introvert still she doesn't stay at someone's home. As she grew up she started feeling uncomfortable while staying at someone's house as she has a habit of staying in her night dress which consists of t-shirts and knickers reaching her knees and she just couldn't change her habits. Even though Wiyyam used to stay at their Mamu's place and sometimes Eshal too but she just didn't like to stay away from her home. Zaviyaar used to interact with Wiyyam a little as she spent her whole holidays in their house and after coming home she used to talk about him a lot including his anger and rules which was the main cause of Inan risiting to visit their home as she couldn't follow anyone's rules. Because of this, they didn't meet for the last eight years and they didn't follow each other on any site, but Inan used to stalk Zaviyaar a lot because she was fond of his handsomeness and she clearly remembered his face so she recognized him immediately but as he had very less interaction with her so he couldn't recognize her. But still, he was very possessive about his sister and female cousins
"Let me call your Mamu and tell him about his sweet niece's deeds"
He taunted with gritted teeth
"No Bhai I truly am sorry but please just don't do this take me home and tell them that you brought me with you to surprise me or give whatever excuse you want but please just don't do this. I beg you. My mama baba will be very tense. Have some mercy."
She joined her hands in front of him crying bitterly
"Just reap what you saw"
He pulled her from her hair and shouted at her face
"Ahh leave me, please."
She said putting her hand on his hand which was holding her hair and he pushed her back her dupatta just fell and he could see her heavy chest and as she was sobbing it started getting his attention so he picked up her dupatta and placed it on her shoulders covering her completely and started to divert his attention towards his phone
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
He pulled her back from the hug and turned on the tap and started washing her face gently. After that, he wiped her face with her dupatta and gave it to her. She settled the dupatta on her shoulder and was about to leave when he stopped her saying
"Keep the dupatta on your head"
He glared at her
She kept it on her head and he started taking her to the car by holding her hand but stopped feeling the boys staring at her as her uniform got wet when he was wiping her face. He was about to go and beat them. When he stopped feeling a tug on his arm
"Bhai, please leave them"
He glared at her and then at the boys who averted their gaze immediately and took her towards the car so that nobody can recognize him.
.....................................................................
Finally, they reached Islamabad, and as per his father's order, he took her to his penthouse. He got out of the car and held her hand after opening the door of her side
"Why are we here? It's not your house"
She said fearfully
"It's my penthouse and baba told me to take you here. Now will you come with me or not"
He raised his one eyebrow
"Okay"
He made her sit on the sofa and took place next to her. She started moving back feeling uncomfortable. He glared at her. She was still embarrassed about the hug as it was completely unintentional and Zaviyaar was well aware of that. He called his father to inform him that they reached. He ordered them to have dinner as both hadn't taken anything since morning so Ali Hassan already told the maid to make food. He didn't want to but had to do it as he was really hungry.
"Set up the table we are coming"
He ordered the maid
"I don't wanna eat anything"
She muttered
He held her hand dragging her to the table. He made her sit and ordered
"Eat it silently. I don't wanna go harsh on you"
And she got a heart attack after hearing him not being harsh with her.
She ate half roti and said fearfully
"I can't eat more otherwise I will vomit"
She said difficultly
Zaviyaar who was done with his food was observing her who just had half roti in the past fifteen minutes
"That's the problem with girls like you. They can't eat properly with a fear of their diet being ruined. I hate girls like you. Look at yourself. I can clearly see your bones. Look at your face I can bearly see it. You are ruining your beauty with this diet. You were so beautiful back then with those chubby red cheeks and"
His scream got interrupted by her
"Fair skin tone right"
She said with tears in her eyes
"I didn't mean it."
He whispered feeling guilty
"You are body shaming me Bhai. I never did any diet. It was just some study stress because of which I started eating less and now I just can't eat enough. Everyone starts body shaming me without knowing anything. I am not doing it purposely. It's not in my control"
She said with a trembling voice making him more embarrassed
"Now, please don't start crying again. I am fed up with you."
He shouted feeling frustrated after seeing tears in her eyes and she started sobbing loudly. He held his head in his hands feeling exhausted
"Inan what the hell was that?"
Her Mamu who entered the dining room shouted and she started shivering badly
"I am asking you something stupid girl. What if something would have happened? How many times have your parents warned you to at least learn your address properly and if you're not able to do it then never leave with someone How can you be so stupid? You're a college-going student please for god sake please have a little bit of sense. I don't know what you will do in your future that's why your father and I have taken a very important decision about your life. You need someone to control you. Now, we just can't take your responsibility. As per your father, what will we do at this age? Where will we find you if someone trapped you again? What if someone rapes you? We can't bear such loss at this age. So for your better future, we have decided to make you marry"
He screamed holding her shoulders and shaking her badly and pushed her while telling her about marriage
"No Mamu, please don't do this to me. It will never happen again. I swear to Allah. I will behave maturely. You and baba will never be embarrassed because of me. Please how can you marry me off to any stranger?"
She cried joining her hands in front of him
"Yes, that's what we thought we can't just marry you off to any stranger. What if he left you because of your stupidity? We just can't take any risk. So we have decided to make you married to Zaviyaar"
She started feeling dizzy after listening to him
Zaviyaar who was rubbing his forehead with closed eyes opened it immediately and looked up at his baba saying
"Baba what are you talking about? How can I marry her? She's so stupid. I will not marry her at any cost and not forget there's a huge age gap between us. She's still in her college's first-year baba. This can never happen. She will not be able to handle my nature. Do you want her to die?"
He screamed shockingly
"That's the reason why I am asking you. You can control her son. You can handle her however you want but please put some sense in her head. And about the age gap, I and Rehman am totally fine with it. We don't have any problem and he wanted a mature son-in-law. He knows you since childhood. Please get agree for your uncle's sake. He used to love you like his own son and you were very close to him. Please for his love. Take her responsibility. He's in the hospital right now. Think he had reached the hospital just by listening to it what will happen if someday? I can't even say this. Please help him. Nobody will say anything to you. We need your help. You know everything about her innocence. You are the best option for her right now. Please for our family's respect. Even though she's not the perfect-looking girl but for our sake accept her. Don't make your father embarrassed in front of his sister and brother-in-law, please. We will never interrupt your matters. I promise. But please marry her."
He joined his hands in front of Zaviyar
On the other hand, Inan was beyond hurt listening to his words.
"Okay, Baba for family's respect sake I will accept her but don't forget your promise. You are well aware of my nature and it's your decision, not mine."
He said coldly
"N No pl please he's very do dominant I will n not marry him. He's m, my brother"
She stammered
"Nobody's asking you so keep your mouth shut."
Ali Hassan screamed
"I wanna talk to baba he'll understand. He loves me a lot. Please Mamu let me talk to baba once."
She requested
"Your father himself asked me to not make you contact him in any way. He told me that he'll contact you tomorrow after nikkah. If you don't believe me then see his message"
He opened the chat to show her and she was beyond shocked at her father's behavior
"I will call the priest inside. I bought him with me, as I wanted the nikkah to happen Asap"
Saying this he left to call the priest
Zaviyaar first glared at shocked Inan then made her sit on the sofa beside him and covered her face with a dupatta and started observing her condition. She was shivering badly lost in her thoughts and her lips turned white. He ignored her and promised himself to put some sense in her mind. Whether he had to do anything for that. He didn't want to accept such a stupid girl but his family's respect was at stake and he love his family more than anything.
On the other hand, Inan was shocked to the core she just couldn't believe that she was gonna marry him. She was her baba's princess but her one unintentional mistake brought her to this point. She never thought before leaving the house that she will get married today in this condition. She always dreamt of a prince charming and wanted to marry so badly but it became a nightmare for her. Now that he pulled her dupatta down to cover her face she wanted to laugh loudly as she never thought that she'll get married in her college uniform but life doesn't go according to our choice and she was experiencing it. She wanted to cry out loud but she was silent. Not moving an inch of her body and her body started turning cold. She wasn't feeling well but who was here to listen to her? He can treat her however he wants. It was her Mamu's and baba's words. She wanted to cry but she wasn't able to. She wanted to die but can't ask for it."
Her thoughts were interrupted by a priest's voice
"Do you Inan Rehman daughter of Rehman Hussain accept Zaviyaar Ali Hassan son of Ali Rizwan Hassan in your nikkah in fifty lakhs rupees"
She didn't reply for some time she was feeling dizzy but as her, Mamu placed his hand on her head. Tears rolled down her eyes and she stammered saying
"Qa qabool hai"
She replied three times and with that she became his then the priest started asking Zaviyaar
"Do you Zaviyaar Ali Hassan son of Ali Rizwan Hassan accept Inan Rehman daughter of Rehman Hussain in your nikkah in fifty lakhs rupees"
"Qabool hai"
He replied three times feeling different emotion but didn't show it on his face
Ali Rehman kissed both of their foreheads and whispered sorry in Inan's ear and hugged them while congratulating them. All the witnesses and the priest left after making Dua for them. He ordered them to go and take a rest as it was 3 pm and Zaviyaar left the house at 7 pm and reached Lahore at 10 pm then he reached Islamabad at 2 pm as he left Lahore at 11 pm after taking Inan with him. So both were tired. Zaviyaar got up to go to the room but when he saw Inan still sitting there. He sighed loudly and held her hand making her stand on her feet but as he pulled her she got unconscious and fell in his arms. He got tensed and made her lie on the sofa and Ali Rehman started rubbing her hands
"Hey, Inan what happened? Please get up"
He started patting her cheeks
The maid brought water and he took the glass from her and started sprinkling the water on her face after pouring water on his hand. Slowly she opened her eyes and she held her head with one hand still feeling dizzy. He made her sit on the sofa and made her drink the water.
"Zaviyaar pick her up and take her to your room"
He took her in his arms and Inan gasped folding her arms around his neck to save her from falling. He lifted her like she was as light as a flower. And for a person like Zaviyaar who had eight packs, she was feeling like a flower. Also, her weight was just 44 kg. She kept her head on his chest feeling dizzy.
He opened the door with his leg and made her lie on the bed and he lay down on the other side of the bed. Inan got shocked and started to get up but he stopped her by holding her wrist
"Sleep"
He ordered
"No, I am not sleepy"
She muttered
"Do what I have told. I don't like people opposing me"
He said with gritted teeth
"Par m mujhe sh sharam a r rahi hai bhai"
She said looking down
"Just shut up you stupid little girl. Don't you dare call me Bhai again?"
He screamed
She jumped on her place and lay silently beside him turning to the other side so that doesn't face him but he turned her around and said
"Don't you know a wife should never sleep with her back towards her spouse"
She looked at him fearfully and nodded her head
He started coming close to her and she closed her eyes tightly. He took off her dupatta and placed it on the side table and then moved back.
"Now you can sleep comfortably"
Saying this he closed his eyes to sleep and she did the same soon sleep consumed them as they were very exhausted from all the happenings
