SS: The Meeting with an Angel (Tere Bin, Meerasim)

SS Part 2: The Meeting with an Angel (Tere Bin, Meerasim)

Standing at about 10 feet away, she froze on her spot for a moment as her eyes caught the sight of her daughter in someone's arms. She was facing his back but she could clearly identify her daughter's side face from over his right shoulder. "Meesam!" Meerab called out her name, smiling through tears, as for a moment, she thought she lost her too.... the fear was replaced with joy, which immediately turned into a misfortune, when her gaze caught his eyes ....

If it was not for her daughter, she would have taken a U-turn and sneaked out from the face of the earth.... but now she had to face him, unwillingly.... she could not help but recall the last time she saw his face and then today.... his perplexed eyes filled with suffering and quests....

His heart almost skipped a beat.... She was there, right in front of his eyes.... looking so pale and lost .... He was afraid to blink ...what if he lost her again in the fraction of a blink?.... Murtasim watched Meerab walking towards him with eyes glittering in tears ....

"..Mooommaaa!!.." Meesam extended her left hand over the left shoulder of the stranger and responded to her momma as she witnessed Meerab coming towards her.... and he lost his voice.... There were so many puzzle pieces he wanted to resolve with her but with that one word pulled the base of the pillar and everything fell apart...

She indeed resembled her mother but what about her father? .... Could it be his daughter? Everything aside, why would she keep it a secret if it was his child? .... Everything happened with their mutual consent that night... it was love out of anger but it was not forceful... Then why was he the one to get the biggest punishment? ... Or was she taking care of someone else's child?

Murtasim watched Meerab gently taking the little bundle from his arms in silence....so many unanswered queries and he needed answers.... All his content, peace and joy have now been replaced with rage.... He needed answers...if it was indeed his child then he was going to burn the God-damn nature ten times in hell for abandoning him from every single moment of his daughter....

She did not have the guts to meet his gaze and before she could leave, Meerab felt his strong grip and this time, she felt her entire body just got electrocuted with the highest voltage of power .... His touch still managed to make her knees go weak.... She was afraid that this time she would throw herself against him and break down in his arms.... But there was no valid justification for her unthoughtful and abrupt decisions for that night... what should she tell him that a girl like her allowed herself to get someone like Haya into her nerves? .... What should she tell him that she wanted to come back after getting the news of her pregnancy but was afraid that he would assassinate her character again? What should she tell him that her one mistake had screwed up her life and got their daughter in a position where she was abandoned from her father's love?

"What is going on here?" Farukh looked concerned for Meerab... "Excuse me sir, please let her go" he requested with patience and witnessed Meerab get herself released, adjusted Meesam in her arms and instructed Farukh to leave, "Lets go, Farukh"....

Meerab quickly left the place with Meesam, leaving Farukh with confusion as he stood right in front of Murtasim, examining his behavior towards Meerab, whom he considered a sister.... He figured that the man must have been from Meerab's past and knowing that she did not want to keep contact with any of her family members from the past despite him failing to convince her to talk to her husband for at least once, Farukh decided to give him a fair warning for the sake of his sister.... "Look sir, I am assuming you know her .... she had gone through a lot and it took her months to move on with her daughter... so please, let her live in peace" he folded his hands and took a step to leave when he felt a strong grip as Farukh looked down to find the man's right hand clutched onto his collar.... before he could react, he was brought back to his original spot by his collar, face to face, with Murtasim ....

He was not ready to let anyone barge in and lecture him on letting his life go to hell... "YOU-ARE-TALKING-ABOUT-MY-WIFE.... Murtasim Shahnawaz Khan's wife, Meerab Murtasim Khan... ", Murtasim declared with rage, leaving the next person in utter shock ....
