CHAPTER 7
"Zayaan whats wrong?? Who was on the call"??? Dada entered his office looking vigilant
"Ali's brother, that disgusting mutt thinks he can have my family" Zayaan said with rage in his voice
"What did he said"???
"Let the meeting start, I'll let you know everything" Zayaan replied pacing in his office
Dada nodded understandingly and sat on his chair. Dada was the only one who always sat on his chair without his permission and Zayaan never minded that. He always respected and loved him.
When the room was full Zayaan gave everyone a hard business like look .
"As you all know we killed Ali because of his nasty acts ,his brother called just now and he wants revenge. He directly threatened me to kill my family and specially Manum. " Zayaan voice had a tough edge to it.
His mind was going crazy over Manum's protection.
Hearing Manum's name every guy in the room almost snarl like a wild animal
They knew how important she was. They all respected her like a sister, a friend, a bhabi and most of all Zayaan Ibrahim Saith's wife.
"He can't touch her with us here. I'll rip his head off if he even looks at bhabi" Asfandyar's voice was dripping with venom
"How dare he drag her into this..That ass***e". said Talal clenching his fists.
"He can't touch her ,I'll fu****g castrate him " Hadeed looked beyond furious.
Zayaan looked proudly at his men and continued.
"I know you all respect her and protect her . But not only Manum ,each one of us is in equal danger here and all of your lives are important to me. Dada , Anumta, Manum and all of us are in the same line of risk. Manum and Anumta are much more important than anyone of us ,I hope you all understand" All men nodded without hesitation
"From now on there will be two guards with Manum Anumta at all times,I don't care if its day or night I want you all to stay high alert and rip anyones head off who tries to harm any one of you ,do not hesitate."
"House will be secured with four guards in the front, four at the back, you'll change shifts"
"All phone calls will be traced whether its landline or a cell phone. Every person coming in and out of the house will be checked keenly ,I don't want a mistake here .We can't afford a hazard"
"He called from a private number. And I want a full background check on that moron" "Am I clear"
"Yes sir". Multiple voices echoed at the same time in the room ,sincerity was clear in each one of them
Zayaan was very serious in his beliefs or about the people he love. He never ever moves his mind from whatever he sets it on in the first place and a direct threat to his family and his wife was taking him to the point where a lot of emotions were fighting to take control and kill the one who dared to come across him.
"If someone thinks they can cross us this easily, then we'll show them who we really are and what we are actually capable of". A malicious smirk crossed his face
"Hadeed , Talal you'll be with Manum at all times". Both of them nodded with a serious look on their faces.
"Asfandyar ,you will stay with dada". Asfandyar nodded with a somber look
"What??? I don't need a guard ,I am a man ,I can take care of myself". Dada snapped as if Zayaan had insulted him.
"This is just for your protection Dada, please don't think too deep about it, besides Asfandyar is your favourite" Zayaan tried to reason with him
"That he is" Dada huffed but patted Asfandyar on the back smiling
"Waleed, Sumair you'll be with Anumta. Even if she goes out for grocery shopping I want both of you to go with her, Clear'???
"Yes sir" the two men replied in a tough tone
"Asad you'll be on the roof of the house"
"Bilal, Ather, Hussain and Aryan you'll guard the front of the house"
"Yes sir"
"Omar, Ammar, Usman, Shehryar, you guys will be at the back of the house"
"Yes sir"
"Adil,I want a background check on him"
"Yes sir"
"Any questions" Zayaan asked giving all his men a glance
"No sir"
"Then you are all dismissed"
Zayaan sat down on the couch as all the men left his office
Dada stared at him for a long moment
"You know dada its creepy to stare at someone like that" Zayaan said with humor in his voice
"I am looking at a boy who was so little when all that happened and now I see a man in front of me..responsible, hard, tough, merciless no offense but its true"
"None taken" Zayaan took off his shoes
The door opened to the office showing a very angry Manum.
" Seriously these two are getting on my nerves, just what is going on here." She had both her hands on her waist and was looking like a little kitten probably frustrated with Hadeed and Talal following her everywhere.
Hadeed and Talal lowered their heads and smiled
Zayaan gave her a soft expression ,all hardness from his features gone
"They are for your protection Manum" He replied standing up slowly
"What do I need protection from, since when do I need to be protected"?? She raised her eyebrows at her husband
"Since now" he replied easily
"I am not a kid, I can take care of myself ,I don't need these two on my head all the time. No offense to both of you". She turned around and smiled at them
"None taken Ma'am " . They answered in chorus.
"Manum ,its necessary. Please understand" . Zayaan gave her an almost pleading look. He knew she'll never understand
"But why??? I don't have any enemies ,who is going to harm me"?? she looked genuinely confused
Dada ,Zayaan ,Hadeed and Talal all looked at eachother at her question.
Zayaan was debating with himself whether to tell her about the situation or not.
"And besides you guys are mobsters ,I am not " she said innocently
"Yes but you are a mobsters wife which makes you an equal target" Dada walked towards her putting his hands in his pockets.
"A target for what?? What did I do"
"Manum just please understand. I'll explain it to you later" Zayaan rubbed his forehead
"Fine, and I need to talk to you too"
"Sure, as soon as I am done with my work ". Zayaan said softly and Manum left with Hadeed and Talal trailing behind her.
"You have to tell her sooner or later" Zayaan looked back at dada
"I know. But I don't know what to say".
"She is...well..ummm..."
"Different, difficult, keeps you on the edge" dada completed his sentence amused
"No she doesn't " Zayaan said defensively
"Accept it Zayaan, she gets under your skin so easily . And I don't think there is any harm in accepting that you are into your wife"
"I am not into her. Its just that she is my responsibility. I sort of kidnapped her against her will and married her, that's why..."
"But you could've let her go then..why are you still living with her"
"Dada its not what you think"
"Sure my boy" dada chuckled and Zayaan shoke his head at him walking to his desk .
The next morning
"I want to continue my studies " Manum looked at Zayaan expectingly who was having his breakfast like it's the most important thing in the world
"Mmm..hmmm" H e replied taking a bite of his toast
"What mm hmmm"
"It means no"
"What??? Why"??
"I can't let you get out of the house these days Manum its dangerous"
"But why??..why dangerous..Zayaan its my final year please don't do this. I want to continue my studies"
"I know Manum but not now"
"Zayaan.."
"No Manum. End of discussion" He said in a final tone
"Excuse me, you are not my father. And don't behave like an illiterate man who don't allow there wives to study" Manum was angry now
Zayaan gritted his teeth " Manum I am not one of those men. I will let you complete your studies but not now. These days aren't favourable for you to go out "
"Bu...."
"Manum will you please understand something for once without pissing me off" He said loudly
"Zayaan this is not the way to talk to your wife, lower your tone" Dada shot him a hard glare.
"But she.."
"I said lower your tone Zayaan. Its not her fault that she is not fully aware of the situation"
"Its ok dada" Manum said getting up from the chair leaving her breakfast
"At least do your breakfast properly " Anumta grabbed her hand
"No thank you I am not hungry" she said softly leaving the dining hall
Zayaan sighed and got up
"I'll talk to her. She'll be fine" he gave dada an assuring look
Dada nodded at him getting back to his breakfast
"Asfandyar,where is Manum?? Have you seen her" Zayaan asked trying to find her
"Oh yeah she went to the lawn ,Talal and Hadeed are with her" Asfandyar replied walking beside him now
"Why ??what hap...ohhhh you guys fought again " he said snorting
"Shut up Asfandyar"
"Oh c'mon big bro you always fight with her, you talk to her like she is a wild animal"
Zayaan glared at him ready to murder
"Don't look at me like that ,I am not bhabi"
"Asfandyar I'll rip your head off gladly"
"Oh yeah whatever you look cute..you know what!!! do one thing if you want her to be happy, give her flowers or something then talk ."
"No way that's so cliché"
"Be a man"
"What else do you think I am"
"Oh well you know that better . You know the secrets inside an.."
"Finish that sentence and I'll wrap your tongue around your throat" Zayaan smacked him on the head and was still glaring at him when multiple shots rang through the air followed by a loud high pitched scream from the lawn.
Zayaan and Asfandyar ran towards the voice like a bullet . Manum was sitting on the grass with her hands on her ear screaming with all her energy ,Hadeed was on the ground ,he was shot in the shoulder while Talal dragged Manum up to her feet and took her running inside the house. Shots were still firing from every direction.Talal ducked Manum's head lower to save her from the flying bullets
Asfandyar helped Hadeed on his feet
Talal stopped looking at Zayaan who nodded and grabbed Manum by waist leading her inside the house
Waleed was firing without blinking towards the main gate where multiple intruders were firing back from
Zayaan sat Manum down in his room who was shaking with fear
"Manum ,look at me. Its ok I am here. Nothing will happen to you" He said grabbing her face in his hands
Manum looked at him sobbing loudly
"Its ok sweetheart, I'll handle it. Just sit here lock the door, Anumta will be here with you ok. I'll be back" he said getting up
"No don't...where are you going" Manum grabbed his hand digging her nails into his palm
"My men are out there Manum, I can't leave them in this ..I'll be back I promise" He said softly kissing her forehead.
Anumta came inside the room panicked
"Zayaan...son"
"I know..take care of her and yourself too Anumta lock the door, don't open it for anyone else but me"
Anumta nodded and Zayaan walked out of the room
"Where is Asad ,he was supposed to be on the roof." Zayaan said loudly between the noise of gunshots.
Bullets were flying everywhere
"He is shot, one to the right shoulder, one on left leg" shouted Waleed firing again
Zayaan took his gun out from the waist band of his jeans and aimed at the target. He fired several times and shouted
"Talal I am moving..take cover"
Talal nodded and moved towards him
"Damn I am out of bullets" shouted Sumair
Zayaan fired a shot at the target which pierced straight through his heart making him fall to the ground with a loud thud.
After half an hour of complete chaos ,they took control and silence fell
"Boss three of them are captured alive rest are dead, we have full control over the situation" Ammar came with bloody knuckles
"Take them to the interrogation room ,I'll be there in a while"
Ammar noddd and left
"Sumair take some of our men and check the whole house, secure the back and front, kill anyone who gets in the way. Also send someone to the roof".
"Yes sir"
Zayaan moved towards his bedroom ,he knew she'll be worried
Zayaan knocked on the door and heard Anumta's hard voice
"Who is this "
"Zayaan .."
The door open soundlessly and Manum ran into his arms hugging the hell out of Zayaan
Zayaan hugged her back tightly to his chest
"Hey shortie,you ok"???
Manum nodded still hugging him, burying her head in his chest
"Anumta you ok" Zayaan looked at her with concern
"I am ok..I am used to these things son, take care of her" she said softly
Zayaan nodded
"Is the house secure " ??? Anumta asked
"Yes,we have full control" he replied in a business like tone
Anumta nodded and left the room closing the door
Zayaan kissed her forhead softly. Manum was shaking with fear clutching him to her tightly
"Manum I am here, its ok. No one can harm you " He assured her
He wiped her tears and kissed her cheeks.
"Are you ok"??? she asked in a shaky voice
"Healthy as a horse" he winked at her trying to lighten the mood
Manum put her head back on his chest ,Zayaan rubbed her back and said
"I think its time to tell you some things" he whispered in her ears
"Tell me what"?? Manum questioned confused
Zayaan sighed and looked at her
"About what you don't know ,why you can't get out of the house and why can't you study now "
Manum nodded silently
"C,mon ,lets sit in my office" He turned around and walked to his office with his arm protectively wrapped around his wife's shoulder.
