He was supporting her to walk by holding her hand and placing other hand on her waist. She was hissing with every step. Everyone was looking at them shockingly. He made her sit and took the chair beside her.
"Why did you stop eating please continue."
"Why did you bring her here Zavi"
ALI HASSAN asked his son
They all were looking at Inan who's lips were swelled and whole neck was covered by love bites and fingerprints. Her eyes were swelled and red because of continuse crying. Zaviyaar covered her neck by dupatta and everyone averted their gaze
"She wanted to had breakfast here baba"
He told his father
"Still you shouldn't have bring her here can't you see her condition"
He glared him
"Oh please baba I can handle my wife very well. Please stop interfering in my matters. You all are already invading my privacy. If just if mama had sent her to my room silently everything would have been kept private"
He whispered angrily seeing all youngsters present at the table
"We can see how well you can handle her"
Iram said
"Mama please let me eat peacefully"
He said rolling his eyes
He filled Inan's plate and she started eating slowly. She looked up to see Zara and Sana weeping silently and Arsam, Asad and Ayan glaring Zaviyaar who was having his food ignoring everyone. Tears welled up in her eyes
"Why did you stop eating Inan?"
He asked Inan softly
"No I am eating"
She said looking down at her plate
"Take Inan to her home. Her father told to bring her after nikkah"
Ali Hassan told his son
"I'll take her day after tomorrow"
He said wiping his mouth with napkin
"No you will take her today only"
He said glaring at his son
"Fine I'll take her. Happy now?"
He said sarcastically
"Meet me in my room Zaviyaar"
He felt weird listening to the tone of his mother
"Okay I will meet you after ten minutes. I have to do some work"
Saying this he got up from his chair and was about to make Inan stand but stopped as Zara spoke with broken voice
"Bhai we will take Inan with us. We missed her a lot and she will feel fresh in our company"
"Okay"
He said coldly
He bent by holding the chair with one hand and the table with another. He whispered in Inan's ear
"Don't you dare to tell them anything Inan. You'll not be able to bear the consequences"
He whispered angrily
Chills ran down her spine listening to him. She nodded her head immediately. He got up and left patting her cheeks. She started looking here and there feeling embarrassed.
Iram glared at him and then her husband who averted his gaze
Zara and Sana helped her to stand and took her to Arsam's room as they conduct all their meetings there.
They made her sit on the bed and took place beside her
"I a am so sorry Inan"
Arsam stammered
"Why are you saying sorry Arsam Bhai? It's not your fault."
She said holding his hand
Suddenly, Zara hugged her and started crying loudly
"We are sorry we didn't know that our brother would do this. We are extremely sorry Inan. I am feeling very ashamed"
She said between sobs
Inan started caressing her back and wiped tears off Sana who was hiccuping badly
"We thought you would hate us?"
Asad said keeping his eyes down
"Why would I hate you? It's not your fault but I am not good enough to forgive your brother. I hate him"
She said difficulty trying to control her tears
"You don't have to Inan"
Asad said placing a hand on her head
She started crying loudly feeling their love. Zara and Sana hugged her to calm her down
"Calm down baby"
Arsam said caressing her hair
"I hate him. I hate him. I hate him."
She started screaming as she got an anxiety attack. She started rubbing her chest as it was getting difficult for her to breathe.
"What happened Inan?"
Asad asked her worriedly
"Anxiety attack Bhai"
Inan stammered difficultly
"I think we should distract her"
Ayan whispered in his ear
Eveyone nodded and starting distracting her by asking about study and all. They were beyond hurt by looking at their sister's condition and their brother's deed
"Tumhe pata hai Inan mujhe na bhai bohat manhoos lagte hain"
Arsam told and Inan started smiling seeing her response everyone started doing the same thing
"Ha mujhe bhi Allah maaf kare kehna nhi chahiye lakin bhai na kutte ki dum ki tarah hain jo kabhi seedhi nhi hoti"
Ayan said
"Sahi baat hai naak aise phulate hain ghusse mai jaise bandar ho"
"Sahi keh rahi hai Zara mujhe toh woh zehar lagte hain"
Sara said
"Mujhe toh unse bachpan se hi nafrat hai"
Asad said
"By the way you didn't tell us about your feelings for him"
"Mujhe na woh ulu ke pathe lagte hain"
She screamed
Everyone gasped and started laughing loudly after some seconds but Inan started turning pale looking at the door where Zaviyaar was standing folding his arms on chest and glaring her as if he will kill her
"Ullu ka patha bohat cute hota hai haina"
Inan said looking at the door
They all turned to see Zaviyaar standing there. All of them became nervous. He entered the room and without saying anything held Inan's hand and started dragging her towards the room.
"Ahh stop, please"
She shouted as it was hurting her so much
He entered the room and pushed her onto the bed and then locked the door. He folded his arms and started coming towards her slowly. She started trembling while moving back on the bed
He pulled her by her feet and placed his knee on the bed hovering her
"Baba"
She whispered with close eyes feeling scared
"What were you saying?"
He asked angrily holding jaws tightly
"S sorry"
She stuttered
"Don't you know how to respect your husband huh? You were abusing me. Right? Let me show you what happened to girls like you"
He shouted loudly
"It will not happen again. Please have some mercy"
She requested with tears rolling down her eyes
"Shut up or I will kill you stupid girl"
He shouted and started to tie her hands to bed. She was resisting as much as she can but couldn't stop him. He started roaming his hands on her body and she was feeling disgusted. He moved aside and got up from the bed not before kissing her
"I have to go meet mama. Will meet you later darling"
He said winking at her
He got up from the bed and left leaving her crying behind
.....................................................................
"You called me mama?"
He asked looking at his mom who was sitting on the bed
"Yes come and sit with me"
She called him lovingly
He smiled and took place beside her placing his head on her lap. She started caressing his hairs
"I want to tell you a story"
She said not looking at him once
"Sure"
He told kissing her hand
"There was a girl who used to live freely without any restrictions. Her family loved her so much. She was a princess to her dad and lived her life like a princess. She never did any house chores. She used to dream of prince charming who would be like her father loving and caring. Who can't even think of being angry with her? But life is not a bed of roses. She was just twenty when her father told her about his friend's son's proposal. He wanted her to marry that man and she agreed immediately although he asked her if she likes someone she wanted to marry a man of her father's choice. She never had any relationship nor did she loves somebody. She was very excited about her wedding but sad at the same time thinking she has to leave her family but her father told her she can meet them anytime she wants. Finally with a lot of tears, love, and blessings she got married to a handsome, wealthy, and well-educated man. A dream of every girl. She was sitting in her room feeling nervous and shy as it was her first interaction with any man alone in the room at that time of night that to her husband. Her husband came and without saying anything to her started kissing her by holding her hair and neck tightly. When she resisted to breathe he started abusing her and beating her. She was shocked at the kind of treatment she was receiving but couldn't call anybody for help as he was her husband. She wanted to tell him how much it pains when he grabs her body parts tightly and how much it hurts when he bites or slaps her. How much it was hurting her she was feeling as if he was ripping her apart. It was pure torture. He was pulling her soul apart. She wanted to tell him she wasn't able to breathe when he grabs her neck tightly. She wanted to request him to kill her. But he didn't stop. She begged him but he was lost in pleasure. When she resisted more he tied her to the bed shoving a tie in her mouth and she was completely helpless. Nobody knows how it feels when you can't even move an inch of your body instead of being in so much pain. Nobody can feel that pain. She couldn't bear it but she couldn't say anything at all. Then her husband cum monster crossed all limits and started pointing out her character because she was resisting. He didn't understand that a girl can't serve her husband when he was burning or beating her. She was also a human but he didn't understand it. In the morning, she had to pretend like the happiest woman on the earth as she got married yesterday and that was her mistake. She didn't told anybody, not even her mother. But it wasn't a one-time thing. It happened every day. When she finally got the courage to stand up for herself she got pregnant and as you know you can't be divorced during pregnancy because Islam says it's proof that the child belongs to the girl's husband even though if it's not his child still he can't file a divorce. Then she gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. She was the happiest woman that day. She thought she will teach her son to respect girls. He will never abuse his wife. She did her best to make him a good human being but her husband destroyed that too. He made his son more strict and dominant than him. Still, his mother believed that he will not be a rapist. Mothers are afraid to marry their daughters off but she was afraid to marry her son. Then one day he brought a girl with him. She was the same girl that his mother liked so much because of her innocence. She was as innocent as she was back then. She used to pray for her future but it was Allah's will that she got married to her son. She still had hope that he will protect and love her. But her son killed his mother by raping that girl brutally in her presence of her. She listened to her screams. She wanted to help her but her husband did the same as her son was doing to that innocent child and history repeated. Another Iram was destroyed by Ali Hassan"
Zaviyaar who was listening to his mother with eyes wide open got up from her lap and started looking at her blank tear stained red face. Tears started rolling down his cheeks. He felt as if somebody stabbed him right in the heart. He wisher to die before listening to this. He was numb
"What happened Zaviyaar? Men don't cry. They just make girls cry right? That's what your father teaches you right then why are you crying? Just keep your emotions to yourself and be so much frustrated that you can kill someone before thinking twice. Only weak men cry but it's wrong only stronger men have the guts to cry to express their emotions. Men like you and your father who have to prove themselves, men, by raping and abusing women are weak. Your wife is stronger than you she bears what you can never bear. You killed me, son. You have failed me"
Saying this she started crying bitterly
"Do you remember what I used to teach you in your childhood?"
She spoke when he didn't say anything and kept looking down
"Tell me Zaviyaar what have I taught you?"
She shouted and he hiccuped while saying
"Our prophet (Peace be upon him) says:
"The best of you is he who is the best towards his wife"
In another hadith he(Peace be upon him) says:
"And for women are right over men, Similar to those of men over women"
In another hadith he( Peace be upon him) said:
"Whoever has two daughters and he accommodates them, show mercy toward them, and supports them, paradise is definitely guaranteed for him"
In Quran Allah says:
"And we have commanded men to be good towards parents; his mother bore him with hardship and delivered him with hardship"(Quran 46:15)
And Prophet Muhammad ( Peace be upon him) says:
"Treat women well and be kind to them; they are your partners and committed helpers"
In another hadith he (Peace be upon him says):
"Whoever has daughters and treats them kindly, they will be a protection for him against the fire"
And Allah says in Quran:
"And among his signs is this: "that he created mates for you from yourselves that you may find rest and peace of mind in them, and he ordained between you love and mercy. Certainly herein indeed are signs for people who reflect" (Quran 30:21)
The status of a women in Islam is
"When she is a daughter she opens a door of Jannah for her father. When she is a wife, she completes half of the deen of her husband. When she is a mother Jannah lies under her feet-"
Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him says)
"The world and all things in the world are precious but the most precious thing in the world is a virtuous woman"
"We have many examples for these in the history of Islam"
"The first person to embrace Islam was a woman" Khadija (ra)
"The first person to die for Islam was a woman" Summaya (ra)
"The greatest scholar of Islam was a woman" Aisha (ra)
"The person who loved the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) was a woman" Fatimah (ra)
"The person who made one of the biggest sacrifice for Islam in one day was a woman" Khansaa (ra)
"One of the greatest fighter in Islamic history was a woman" Khwala bint Alazwar (ra)
"Our Prophet(Peace be upon him) always used to treat his wives lovingly by eating on the same plate as them and helping them as much as he can. He always respected his wives and never abused them"
"That shows women are not weak and the man who considers them weak is not stronger enough"
He said difficulty between sobs and hiccups
"You have answered my questions but how will you answer the questions that you raised by telling me importance of women?"
She said standing in front of him
"I am sorry!"
He murmured
"Say sorry to Inan who deserves it and if she asks you to leave her then please for Allah's sake leave her and let her live her life. It's not easy to forgive. Your father raped me for 29 years he never stopped. What can I expect from his blood"
She started leaving wiping her tears
"No, I am not like him. I am your son. I will never do that again mama. Please forgive me"
He said back hugging her
"I can't forgive you till Inan forgives you because even Allah can't forgive you till the person you hurt forgives you"
Saying this she jerked his hand and started leaving but stopped seeing her husband standing at the door with tears rolling down his eyes she ignored him and left leaving both the men in sorrow. Zaviyaar wanted to confort his father but he couldn't do that as he committed the same sin. He left ignoring his father who was trying his best to stop Zaviyaar.
.....................................................................
Zaviyaar entered the room to see Inan crying trying to free herself. She was a helpless crying mess with red skin and finger marks on her neck and arms and hickeys covering her whole neck and cleavage. Eyes and lips swell with lips bleeding and jaws covered by his fingerprints. She wasn't calling anyone for help as she knew nobody will come to save her. Suddenly he saw his mother tied to the bed helpless and crying for help. He ran and freed her arms hugging her tightly. She wanted to push him but was afraid of him
"Please leave me"
She whispered
He immediately parted away from her. He ran into the wardrobe and took the first aid box with him and started applying it to her bruises and she was flinching with his every touch but didn't dare to say anything. She sat on the farthest corner of the bed. He came towards her and held her feet. She thought he is going to pull her towards him but he did the opposite. He started crying loudly with sobs placing his head on her feet. She opened her eyes wide open seeing him crying. She didn't know what to do. She tried to pull her feet but he held them tightly. After about five minutes she placed her hand on his head scaredly asking
"What happened?"
He started telling her about everything still in that position. She was shocked to listen to him. She was feeling pity for her Mami who bear that for 29 years which she couldn't bear one day.
"I can't believe this Inan I am the result of a marital rape. My mother suffered so much and I can't do anything for her. I am feeling very helpless. Now I know how it feels to be helpless. I was feeling restless after doing that to you but on the other hand, I was feeling proud that I can control a woman. But now I realized who am I to control somebody? What can I do? I can't even breathe without Allah's will. I can't even move without Allah's will. I am nothing. Nothing. I can't even lift my finger without Allah's will. Then what is the thing I am feeling proud of? There is nothing in me to feel proud of? As a human, it's my responsibility to be kind and generous to others but instead, I was a rude and proud person. Indeed only Allah can feel proud no one has the right to do this not even our beloved Prophet Mohammad (Peace be upon him). I used to be angry 24/7 but never thought that anger is haram in our religion. I am a very bad person but there's only one thing I did good and that's I never use the money I got from films on me thinking it's haram. I always tried my best to stay away from haram things. That's the only thing in me. I am not a good person. But can you forgive this sinful person? If you will not forgive me then Allah will also not forgive me. Allah can forgive a person with a mountain of sins of the rights of Allah but he can't forgive a person till the person he hurt forgives him as he can't forgive the rights of humans. Please forgive me. Please.
He requested still keeping his head on her feet and crying bitterly. Today he wasn't feeling embarrassed to show his vulnerability
"I once promised Allah that I will forgive everyone who did bad to me but not the one who did bad to my family. Never knew that he was gonna test me in this way but
"InAllahaha Ma Sabireen"
"Surely, Allah is with those that are patient"
She said with closed eyes
He raised his head listening to the girl he considered stupid but she was far more intelligent than him
"I am not a very good person to forgive you. I am not that great. I can never forget what you did to me. Don't know if I will ever be comfortable with you. I don't know how I will live with you. But for the sake of Allah, I forgive you. I am umati of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) I can't be heartless. I can't hate anyone. Search in Quran search in whatever book you want to search on google to see who was the best person in this world you will see his(Peace be upon him) name then I being Allah's human and his umati can't be so heartless that I can't forgive someone who's begging me to forgive him but you know what's the punishment of rapist? It's to dig a person in the ground till his whole body except the face is deep in the ground then throw stones on his face till he dies in front of everyone but that will not implement on you because I am in your nikkah because a husband is meant to love and protect his wife and what you did? I hate to forgive you but I am forgiving you which you didn't deserve but I will lead my life with you again"
She said with tears rolling down her eyes and that forgiveness was the biggest slap on his face yes he didn't deserve it
She got up leaving him shocked behind. She entered the washroom and held the slab. Suddenly, she felt peaceful air on her face. The relaxation she felt at that moment was something new to her. She smiled heartedly for the first time in these two days. She can never forget yesterday night but she wasn't weak she wanted to move on. It was completely her choice to stay with him or not but she decided to stay with him. That's what her heart said. Her heart said that he was not lying. He was really ashamed. He will never repeat that mistake. She wiped her tears and promised to not waste them again. She performed ablution and offered her prayer after entering the room and promised in sands to
Allah that she will start her life again. She stayed in sajda for a long time feeling at peace. When she got up and turn her face right to perform salam she saw Zaviyaar praying in front of her. She went again into sajda and now both of them were in sajda and that was the beginning of their relationship and they promised to start their journey forgetting everything. Yes, they didn't love each other but it was something more than love at that moment.
