The cold chilly weather was still here days were passing slowly yet calmly for those who only think that these cold days are calm.
But 'indeed there is calm before the storm'
Life wasn't as same as before he never wanted to fall first but eventually he did in love with the woman who never loved him or it is what he has been thinking since 11 years people would have never thought that there leader can fall in love yet he did and no one know!
And as his love grew more and more for her each day he couldn't stop himself from falling into the pit of abyss. He fell deep and hard that no source of light to come inside from anywhere.
And now he was searching for even a small hole that he would see some light passing through it.
He thought that she was his but she wasn't
He thought he got everything but he never did
He thought he is the one for her but he wasn't!
...
She pulled his strings so well
He let her pull on them
She plays with him
And he let her play
She drag him into abyss
And he let her drag!
It was beautiful morning in outskirts of abottabad birds were chirping and sun was shining through dark green trees. A peaceful environment could be seen everywhere around the haveli. Everyone has bright and cheerful smile on their faces. Break fast was being served by maids around. Today the breakfast was being set up at the back yard garden. It was the request of his sweet baby girl and he never intended to deny although her sister became angry that she might be outta her mind to go outside in such a cold weather. But when he said that they all will go no one dares to question him.
Laiba pass me the bowl of fruits said miraan shah to her younger cousin.
Here lala said laiba while passing the bowl respectfully.
I never thought you guys could be this stupid to have breakfast in this fucking cold weather said mirha
Language girl language said laiba glaring at her a bit and signals her to stop saying anything further.
Ugh anyways as we all are already here shouldn't we a go out and explore the village around she said smiling
Yeah sure mirha aapi we will definitely go I'm with you said Zaria sounded pretty happy
Really that's great but why do I feel like only you are the one coming with me what about others? Asked mirha looking at everyone expectantly.
I will pass my exams are going to start in few days I have to prepare for them said laiba
I will also pas because I have very important business meeting today sorry girls next time informed haziq while standing up from his chair and move out.
What about you mir Sahib? She asked biting on her upper lip looking at him
I'm busy you guys can go and explore he said casually drinking on his hot cup of coffee.
Her face fallen after listening to his response because she really wanted to spend lots of time with him but here he wasn't giving a single damn about anything at all.
"Aa aapi hu hum bhi Jana chahen gy" she said the one who hasn't said a single word yet
(Aa aapi I I would like to go)
"Aur kyun? kis Khushi mein?" Said mirha mocking her little sister
(And why ? What's the occasion?)
You you were as asking to all right? Aren't I I inc included? She said trying not to stutter.
Dear dear why you always think you can come anywhere hmm? Asked mirha drinking her orange juice
Its it's not that actually I I...
But before she could have completed her sentence she got cut in the middle.
Laiba you have your exams right? He asked while looking at something on his phone.
Yes yes lala thanks for reminding me I'm going said laiba and quickly get out from the dining room.
As haziq was already out only three of them were left him, his sweet little girl and her sister.
Fine so no one is going with me.. she was still saying something when her phone rang and she attended the call while still sitting there.
Hey Dad hey mom how are you both she asked
We are fine baby how are you everything going good? Ask her parents
Yup I'm good infact great what about you ? I missed you guys so much she said sounded sad
The talk between mirha and her parents got long and long but never did her parents ask for her in this half an hour conversation between them and her sister.
She even tried to motion her sister to give her the phone so she can talk but seems like her sister doesn't want her to talk with their parents.
He had already gotten up and went out to get ready for the day.
Her eyes got teary after listening to her sister talking with their parents but never once they ask about her well being. At that time she felt so miserable and pathetic
After cutting the call her sister said with out any remorse
They said they are busy couldn't talk as you would have take too much time while talking to them said mirha laughing a bit.
It's okay I understand said nooray and how how were they?she asked in low voice
Of course they are good doing great said mirha while standing up and moving out from the dining room.
She also got up with tear flowing out from her eyes which she has been trying to not pour but couldn't control it was such a natural phenomena she has no power on.
But she wiped them with the back of her hand
...
Here she was going to her room thinking deeply when she didn't notice someone was watching her intensely and had been observing her red eyes.
She didn't see and there he was standing looking at her retreating figure clenching his fist and teeth both.
'Who the fuck made you cry my sweet little thing?' he said to himself
Lala here is your file you were asking for said laiba from behind.
Thanks laibo he said ruffling her brown golden hairs.
Ugh lala please don't say laibo it's feel like I'm really old said laiba groaning a little.
Haha really but I will call you whatever I want he said and grab his file and move out from the haveli.
Whole day pass by him doing his office work as he really wanted to build his own empire here but this wasn't the only thing he wanted the most important thing was to find the rare piece the black rose garden and up until now his men couldn't meet his demand. So here he was pondering over whether he should go to Italy by himself and search for it or wait for his men for few more days.
He was sitting with his second in command Faris as he had returned last night from Spain after completing all the remaining work over there.
Bro what are you thinking? Asked Faris casually taking a sip of his whiskey
Levi that fucker he hasn't called me to inform anything regarding the piece it's been three days almost.
Chill man chill he must be searching for it everywhere and besides he didn't call you means one thing he is hella scared to face your wrath said Faris while laughing loudly.
Shut up I would have literally killed you if you weren't my best friend said mirhaan shah swirling the brown liquid in his hand
Anyways what about those two are they still alive in the basement? Asked Faris
Do you think I let those good for nothing piece of shit live this long. He said scoffing
Means dead? Said Faris sipping on his drink
Of course said mirhaan shah while getting up from his position and move towards the window of his office looking down at all the people who work for him.
and he knows better than all that who was loyal to him or not. He has set his own rules that all the person associated to him has to abide by.
As he was going to pour himself another drink his step halted when Faris ask him something never want to answer and even talk about.
Did you find her? Asked Faris looking at his best friend face trying to read his emotions but he couldn't miraan shah face was blank not giving any type of emotion at all.
I came here to set my business not to search for someone he said gulping hard as he never intended to talk about her again.
I see hmm what if she comes back to you will you accept her? Just asking said Levi getting up
No she will never come back said mirhaan shah as if he knows that very well.
But still you can't predict the future my friend anything can happen at anytime. Said Faris and move out from his office.
The beautiful yet exquisite face that what he had always thought about her flashed before his eyes those peaceful evening he had spent with her came crashing down one by one. He cursed himself for even remembering her.
Fuck you Faris I never wanted to remember her again but you had to make me remind her. He said to himself pulling on his hairs hardly.
That night he drank to his heart content and trying to remove all his memories that he had created with her.
Noor e Afroz POV
I'm so much confused right now I couldn't understand my sister behavior towards me and why parents can't talk with me just for a single moment. I really want to talk with them ask about their health? How they have been since last few weeks but here I'm sitting in my room trying to dial their number but never once my call got picked.
After trying so hard and didn't get any response I stand up from my bed took out my guitar from under the bed and sit on couch near to the bad and started singing some of my favorite ballads along with the beat of guitar.
My life has become so useless ever since I came here I sometime agree on my elder sister saying that im useless and I think she is right somewhat.
These days I have been desperately missing my parents but seems like they don't have a second child just one I don't want to think like that but I can't help it I literally can't its its not in my hands. If it was then I would have stopped all my emotions to come out.
For an hour I kept singing uselessly but eventually stopped and stand up putting back the guitar under the bed taking out my hoodie wearing it and got out from my room to see what are others are doing?
I got down and saw my sister, laiba aapi, haziq, zaria and Mr arrogant was sitting there talking with each other.
I move my feet towards them and said salam everyone's eyes got shot up to me upon seeing me downstairs.
They said I'm like a delicate bud with no strength in me!
And maybe they are right indeed!
...
Nooray what are you doing here asked her aapi laiba
Ohh umm actually I want to come down and have a talk wi with you a all she couldn't help but stutter a little
I see but you were always in your room at this time fancy seeing you here said haziq a bit surprised.
The devil was observing her all this time with his intense blueish gray orbs.
Aray come come why are you standing sit with us we were convincing lala to take us to hunza but he is so freaking busy that couldn't manage 4 days for us poor girls. Informed her aapi
She giggled upon listening to her aapi and his eyes scanned her facial expressions which looks very happy.
A small smile without him knowing broke on his hard face.
They started talking again and the girls were still trying to persuade their brother but he wasn't budging at all.
Girls signals haziq to convince their lala but haziq has already surrender himself saying he doesn't want to be black and blue tomorrow and started typing something on his phone.
"Ugh lala please chal Lena humary sth ap kch dino ki hi tou baat hogi" said Zaria trying her best to get a positive response from her lala
(Ugh lala please come with us it's just a matter of few days)
I had already said I would have come with you all but there is too much work that needed my attention you guys can go and have funhe said dismissing the matter.
Fine. We will go and send you pictures you will get jealous said laiba making a face but at her response her lala just chuckled softly
Ah umm laiba aapi I also want to come with you can I? She asked softly
Of course nooray you will definitely come with me I'm not going anywhere without you. Said laiba aapi said smiling at her cousin.
He was looking at her and saw excitement on her face.
He got up while still gazing at her and said make sure to come within one week ok.
Lala no please at least give us two weeks so that we can enjoy one week is too short.
No one week is enough and do as I say he said sternly
It's not that he doesn't want them to go for weeks it's just that thinking about her being away from him for two weeks didn't set well with him.
The girls face fell as soon as the words came out of his mouth and they whined to theirself as they couldn't do anything against there Lala's wish.
Okay fine but we will go with less guards said laiba.
You all will go as per my instructions Don't let me repeat myself again is that clear? He said firmly with his deep authorative voice.
Girls sighed and nodded their heads as sign of yes boss.
After that he got up from his position he was previously sitting on and get out not before glancing her way for the last time.
All this time she felt like she couldn't breathe when he was here and now he has gone she release deep sigh and started talking with laiba.
Mir Miraan Shah POV
I got out from the living room as I have been getting messages from an unknown number. I would have stayed there talking with them and look at her peaceful and bright face that will glow Everytime she smiles. Her smile was captivating and breathtaking that one could lost theirself in it.
Anyways i went straight to my study and called Faris to track down the unknown number he immediately said yes after listening to my command.
I moved towards my office chair and sat down while taking out a file from one of the drawers of my study table. I have been going through some very serious details about one of my allies when I heard a knock on door I guess that would be a maid I ordered some coffee for without looking at the door I opened it with remote control and said
Put down the coffee and get out.
Ehm ehm "aese kese mir Sahib hum apk Sath Kuch waqt bitaye Bina chaly jayen" said the voice he wasn't expecting to be here most importantly her he thought it would be some mere maid come here to give him his black coffee.
(Ehm ehm how could mir Sahib I came here to spend some time with you)
Or rather I say some quality time she said smirking while casually taking a seat in front of me
I looked up at her face and lean my back to the rocking chair I was still sitting on.
Hmm shouldn't you be with them? I said calmly
No why would I? Besides my sister is so annoying and no fun at all. She said dramatically rolling her eyes as if she doesn't like her sister at all
Hahahaha I see seems like you don't like her I said laughing a bit loudly.
No it's not that she is just clingy anyways you should laugh more you look too good and handsome. She said changing the topic
Is it a compliment or flirt? I asked raising my brow
What would you think it is she said looking at her nails that has been manicured recently.
You really wanna know my answer I said sipping on my coffee
Yes definitely I would love to she said smiling at me.
I admit that she is pretty and her smile is also beautiful but she is nowhere near my angel no one could ever be.
Well the answer is flirt. I said looking straight at her face.
Hmm and why you think that I'm flirting she said with her sparkling light brown eyes looking at me
Well I don't have to think my instincts were always at their best I said taking another sip.
I see so that how you think of me she said as if she got hurt from my response to be honest I said what was true indeed.
No that's not what I think of you I just said what I feel at the moment say if I'm wrong I said finishing up the last sip and started reading the file.
Ohh well I think you don't have time for your guests right? She said trying to gain my attention again.
Yes you are right I don't have time as a matter of fact I have some really important files to read right now. I said without looking at her.
As I thought she would have been gone from my study room but after five minutes when I look up she was still there looking at me biting her lower lip.
Mirha Khan? Is there anything else you want to say if not you can go the door is over there I said casually
I was just observing the features of a handsome man who won't pay any attention to anyone she said batting her eyelashes.
And you were saying you are not flirting. I said smirking lightly
She was going to respond to my statement when the door of my study knocked twice I said yes and the person enter I couldn't explain what I felt that time when I saw her behind my cousin laiba and Zaria.
Lala we all are going for some shopping and probably will have something to eat outside. Informed laiba to her elder cousin whom she always considered as her big brother no more no less.
And who are you guys going with? I asked raising my perfect thick sharp brow.
Of course our one and only goat for sacrifice said laiba laughing but soon her laugh died when we heard haziq saying:
Ohh hello miss I'm not obliged to take you out if you don't wanna go with me then take someone else with you he was scoffing like a girl on her periods.
Haziq don't act like a girl ok we were just joking right lala said Zaria looking expectantly at me as if I would deny them.
Yes haziq my man they were joking don't take it to your heart I said smiling at my cousin who immediately give me a warm smile
It's all because of you lala I'm taking them out or otherwise I would have through them in some fish pond he said thoughtfully as if imagining them in fish pond.
I laughed at him and said you guys are getting late and you mirha should also go with them it would be great change you won't get bored my tone was lightly mocking but nevertheless I said what I wanted to say.
Ohh what you are here mirha and we have been searching for you everywhere exclaimed laiba loudly but soon recover when she saw me that I'm still present here
All this time my sweet girl didn't speak a single word just smiling at those silly creatures.
Fine I'm going just let me grab my purse and phone from my room she said and get out along with my cousins but before they could have get out I said stopping them.
Laiba take out this cup of coffee before you go
"Umm nooray Tum Le ao please mujhy aik important call karni hai" said laiba moving out without giving her a chance to say something.
(Nooray please you take it out I have a very important call to make)
I was still standing at the same position when I saw her taking slow steps towards my study table but before she could have grab the empty cup I halted her movements
Change this dress I said looking deeply at her.
Wh wh what? She said stuttering a bit surprised
I think I didn't speak something difficult for you to not understand I said taking a step forward where she was stilled.
I said change this dress or you won't me to stop all of them from going. I said moving more close to her just a step away.
Wh what wrong with this dress it it it's alright. She said trying not to stutter badly.
Everything is wrong with this dress my baby girl everything is wrong and don't ask or argue with me do as I say it would be good for you. I said now closing all the distance between us.
She slightly moved back but bumped into my study table grabbing both of it's side with her soft delicate hands trying to maintain some distance but I wasn't having it and move more and put both of my hands on either side of her hands
My sweet little girl you didn't understand what I say i ask while bent down towards her left ear and inhaled her sweet rosy sent.
Pl pl please move back yo you are too close. She said breathing heavily
I chuckled softly at her and caress her soft sking with my right hand.
My my my Sweetness why you have to defy me hmm? I said smirking at her trembling figure.
I I will change please let let me go please she pleaded softly to me
It would have been better if you had agreed first but nothing bad as you have agreed now. I said moving her shiny black hairs from her forehead staring deeply at her
Her face was read with shyness and lips wobbled as she would cry anytime.
I couldn't help but took her chin between my thumb and index finger and said:
Look at me princess when I'm talking to you I said softly not want to scare her more.
She looked up then suddenly look down not meeting my heated gaze.
I sighed knowing that she is scared and shy at same time so I bent down to her level as she was really small comparing to my 6 ft 3 hieght.
I placed a soft kiss on her forehead and saw her face became red as tomato I hide my smile and said go and change into something else.
I moved back from her and sat on a couch on my study table after five or six minutes she composed herself and grab the coffee cup from table and literally ran out.
I laughed at her retreating figure and shook my head.
Thinking about her I suddenly think that I never save my number on her phone shit I would have well it will be alright haziq is with them.
They all settled down in car and move towards their destination a shopping mall to be specific
They have been wandering here and there from one shop to another but it seems nothing fascinates their eyes but man the boys who had came with them both haziq and Faris were not trying to bang their heads in some wall.
Girls I think that should be enough for now you have been freaking moving like a headless chicken here and there said Faris as he was literally frustrated from last five hours and to him these girls are useless couldn't shop anything.
Faris Bhai you don't need to remind us that we couldn't do this simple thing but it's not simple as you think it is said laiba rolling her eyes.
Faris chuckled but soon his chuckled died as they heard loud gun sounds
Fuck! Shit! Haziq get the girls out I'll handle the matter
On it bro but please be save said haziq while taking the shity scared girls out from the mall he took the back side entrance of mall to get out before those bastard got the chance to get close with them.
They all thought that the only one left behind with their guards was Faris who was shooting straight in the head's of those fucking piece of shit.
But they didn't know she was left behind when they were talking she felt a need to go to the rest room.
She had also heard those sounds and got really scared that she didn't have a courage to get out so she thinks it would be better to hide inside the rest room.
Gun shots could be heard up until now it's been more than thiry minutes but the firing seems to get more hyped up from every single minute passing by.
She was literally shivering all over the place couldn't help but tears started forming in her doe like hazel eyes and praying to God asking for forgiveness if she has done something wrong in her life.
She was constantly whispering prayers that someone would come and save her but it seems no one knows that she was here.
...
Miraan that fucker attacked us in the mall I had already sent the girls back with haziq he should be reaching home in few minutes. Said Faris in one breath over the phone.
Situation? Is it under control asked miraan hurriedly
No shit fuck it's not miraan I'll call you later said Faris and the call got cut.
He was pacing around in his living room along with his parents his uncle and Bi jaan.
They were trying to made him sit and have patience but he wasn't having any of it.
After whole 15 minutes pacing here and there the sound of door opening made all of them look towards the door directionm.
"Oh mere Khuda mere bachon Tum log sahii salamat ho?" said bi jaan as soon as she saw her grandchildren in front of her eyes.
(Oh my God my kids you all are fine right?)
Yes Bi jaan we all are fine you can see not a single scratch on our face or body said haziq moving towards her mother who was bawling her eyes out.
He had seen all of them safe and sound but she wasn't here and her being not with them made his anxiety doubled
He cursed under his breath and ask
Haziq where is she ? Miraan shah asked with his set jaw.
Huh? Who bro? Said Zaria looking at everyone present in the room.
I said something haziq where.. before he could have completed his sentence
Haziq look at all the present in the room and cursed loudly
Shit how could I forget about nooray I thought she was with us he said frustratingly
As soon as those words got out from haziq mouth mirhaan shah grab his black leather jacket and keys from table and move towards the living room door but his steps got halted when haziq said:
Lala I'm coming with you you are not going alone anywhere
Stay here haziq someone needs to be here with family we can't leave them alone he said impatiently and went out before listening to anyone response.
He drove the car at such a speed that he broke all the records and laws that night and stopped when he was in front of his Destination.
He quickly got out from his car and move towards the mall with a silver loaded gun in his right hand and the one tucked on the left side of his waist.
He got inside and saw the gun shots were still going on but not on the direction he was coming from.
Slowly yet impatiently he took steps towards the direction of gunshots and there he saw Faris shooting fire hiding behind a big piller that has managed to hide his bulky frame.
Miraan shah gave a aid to his friend shooting two fires without wasting any single second and sent his enemy straight to hell.
Faris got surprised for few seconds but quickly recover when he saw miraan shah his best friend standing shooting fire at those mother fucker with his eyes showing blood in them and his face red and jaw clenched he never saw these expressions on his friend face on top all of them at once.
One by one they fell down on the ground miraan shah was constantly shooting down each and every bastard present in the big hall.
As the coast got clear he moves toward Faris and ask urgently
Faris where is she he said running out of patience?
First Faris thought he was talking about 'her'.
What the hell miraan weren't you the one who said to not talk about her said Faris looking at his friend as if he had grown to heads.
I'm not joking Faris fucking tell me where the hell is she? He asked again but Faris only shook his head and said
I don't know what's gotten into you man but you are not in your senses.
The sound of something cracking heard in the hall Faris eyes got widened and saw his friend breathing heavily his nose flaring as if he trying not to hurt anyone
Miraan hey man what's wrong with you said Faris
Miraan Shah looked at his friend and said first I'm pretty much in my senses and now tell me what I'm asking he said trying to composed himself.
For goodness sake I told you I don't know what you are talking about why are asking about her when you don't want to he responded back
Faris I'm not fucking asking about her where the hell is my baby girl where is she ? Said miraan shah desperately
What? Who your baby girl who is that ? Faris asked not being able to get what his friend was saying
Before miraan could say anything one his man came running to him and said
Boss we heard some noise around the area when we were clearing the situation but couldn't find the source of voice screaming for help explained his man while bowing down
Where ? Tell me where you heard the voices? He asked with out an ounce of patience.
Over there boss said his man pointing towards the direction he had heard someone screaming
That's the rest room area why would anyone be... Faris couldn't finished his words when he saw his best friend moving so fast towards the mentioned direction he couldn't understand what's going on with his friend what's wrong with him but he decided not to ponder on that and started going to where his friend has gone his friend was his top priority not some girl his best friend has been asking for he was hella confused at his friend behavior.
As soon as he got there he started searching for each and every cubicle but couldn't help and feel frustrated beyond his limits.
But he heard the sound of someone breathing near by he immediately got to the last one that was in the corner locked from inside.
Before knocking he composed his emotions and said is that you sweetness? Those words came without him knowing that where he was and the situation he was in.
He didn't get any response but heard deep breathing and sobs in return.
Sweetness my sweet little girl say something if that's you I will save you he said impatiently he couldn't understand why was he being so impatient right now he had never lost his shit before.
As he was saying those words he didn't see his friend standing few feet away from him looking at his friend with surprised expressions he had never seen his friend so desperate like this not even with her.
I'll break this fucking door said miraan shah banging on the door loudly when the sound of click could be heard in the rest room area. As soon as the door got open he fell down as someone was hugging him too tightly.
She was so much scared that she thought those killers will kill her too and disposed her dead body in some filthy shit.
She couldn't hear his heart beating so fast as she was crying hysterically her face red from crying too much.
He cupped her face in his hands and said look look at me sweetness he said raspy voice
She looked up and found him the one she was hiding from or was trying to
No one is going to come here and hurt you, you understand no one I won't let anything happen to you he said politely yet firmly as soon as those words came out from his mouth she couldn't able to think straight and black dots started appearing in front of her eyes.
Before she could have heard him saying anything everything went black!
You should have been
Could have been
Mine
But never was
And never will!
