Ch-5 Scare The Pancake

Yara's life turned chaotic yet peaceful in a very weird way. She and her newest husband Faaz Ali Shah had their differences.

In this one week, they had the weirdest of fights you ever heard.

Fight No. 1 - Pasta and Macaroni are two different dishes.

For Yara, Pasta and Macaroni are almost the same. She doesn't mind mixing them up while cooking some. And Faaz tried to explain how Pasta and Macaroni are as different as salt and sugar. But it only led to a bigger argument over this small issue.

Fight No. 2 - Lilies are better than Roses.

Surprisingly Faaz was fond of long-petal Roses. However, Yara was fond of Lilies. And that led to another fight on which flower is more beautiful.

Fight No. 3 - The Master Bedroom.

Yara really liked the master bedroom where Faaz used to sleep and she wanted that for herself as they were going to live in different rooms. But Faaz wasn't ready to leave that room. Which as always led to another fight between them. However, in the end, Faaz sacrificed his room when Yara started crying in her catty voice.

And that was their first week as a married couple.

★★★

That morning Yara was sleeping like a dead cat as always. Perks of marrying Faaz Ali Shah, you can sleep as much as you want. No restrictions at all.

However, a painful cry reached her ears, waking her up.

Confusion dominated her features as she got up from the bed and stepped out of the master bedroom.

The pitch of cries increased as the seconds ticked down on the wall clock. It terrified her.

Who was crying so painfully?

Yara followed the direction of the voice and stood in front of a certain black door, the voice was coming from behind the door. She dared to push the door, leading the double door to slowly open while producing a screeching sound.

It was dark. Absolute dark.

But she could see reflections of red light in the black shadows.

She stepped into the darkness, trying to see through the dark. And yes, the dark path led to a red room.

But Bilal blocked her way.

“What are you doing here, Mrs Faaz?”He asked in his as usual stern voice.

“Someone is in pain. He is crying.”She tried to reply when she wanted to cry hearing those painful cries.

“You should leave.”He tried to change her mind, even when he knew it won't work out.

“Why? Who is there?”And yes, it didn't work out.

“That's none of your business.”He was rude while saying so.

“What do you mean it's none of my business? I have to help that person.”And his rudeness and ignorance triggered her anger. The anger that was as rare as snowfall on the Sahara Desert.

“You'll regret going there.”He moved aside from her path with the last warning.

Yara rushed in the direction of the room with red lights. And yes, she regretted coming there.

Because what she saw, shook her mind and body and soul.

It was Faaz, looking as dangerous as a demon incarnated to kill humanity. And a man drenched in his own blood, the one whose cries she heard. Faaz's hand was painted red with the man's blood.

She knew Faaz is rich.

She knew Faaz is spoilt.

She knew Faaz is arrogant.

She knew Faaz is reckless.

But she didn't know Faaz is heartless.

So heartless to hurt someone physically to an extent where only the painful cries could describe the intensity of pain his victim felt.

“Faaz!”She shouted at him on the verge of crying.

She wanted him to stop this.

Faaz's head snapped in his direction, but it didn't change his demeanour. He still looked like the demon he appeared to her just a few moments ago.

“Yara, go back to your room.”His tone was dangerously calm.

The calmness that promised destruction.

“No! Leave him! You are hurting him!”She protested even when the trauma had made her feel dizzy.

“Oh, pancake, you can't expect mercy from Mafia.”He smirked evilly.

Mafia!?

He is a Mafia!?

She married a Mafia!?

And that was the last string of her sanity. Her feet stumbled as the dizziness entirely overtook her senses. She lost her balance as the trauma made her blackout.

Faaz held her petite frame before it could meet the dusty floor.

He sighed in relief for his own selfish reasons.

“Albert Uncle, mission Scare The Pancake successful. And by the way, this sauce is tasty.”He said while licking the sauce he had on his hands.

★★★

I hope it was enjoyable.

Any guesses what's Faaz's intention?
