It was a long night for Murtasim. He couldn't believe that he had found his Meerub. He kept thinking about her; she looked the same.

"No" she looked much prettier and sophisticated, dressed in a lawyer's attire. He was so happy to know that Meerub had fulfilled her dream and become a lawyer.

He can't wait to meet her again.

He kept waiting for her call; she said she would call him to tell him when they could meet. For a few hours, no call came, but then a message arrived from an unknown number saying:

Message:

"Tomorrow, we will meet the villagers at 11:00 am. Meet me at the address below so that we can go from there to meet the villagers.
Regards,
Meerub W Ahmed."

Murtasim saved the number and replied:

"Okay, I will be there, but you must promise that after that, you will come with me. I have to talk to you.
Murtasim"

A simple reply came, "Okay."

Murtasim was now more excited. He couldn't sleep; he wanted this time to pass as quickly as possible so that he could meet his Meerub again.

In his thoughts, he kept phrasing and rephrasing the things he wanted to say, the things he wanted to ask. In all this, he finally fell asleep.

Next Morning

Murtasim reached the place where he was supposed to meet Meerub. To his disappointment, Meerub was with someone else in a car, and he was asked to follow them (anticipating being alone with Meerub, he hadn't come with a driver).

Anyway, he had no option but to follow. After driving for an hour from that point, crossing many unpaved roads, farms, and villages, they reached the spot they were heading for.

They parked the car and got out to walk towards the house. Meerub was in the lead, and the man who came with her, along with Murtasim, was following her.

At the house, Meerub was welcomed wholeheartedly by the old man and his wife, who were not ready to leave the house.

It seemed like Meerub had been meeting them frequently, and they seemed to be very comfortable with her. She explained to them who Murtasim was and that he wanted to talk to them. She assured them that they didn't have to fear him or anyone since she was with them and would support them until they got justice.

Murtasim watched all this with interest. Nothing had changed about her; she was the same strong-willed girl who would make it her life's mission to help anyone in need of justice, be it Saima Baji (her maid), Naila (from Murtasim's village), or Mariam (Murtasim's sister).

At a cue from Meerub, Murtasim stepped forward and started talking to the villagers, exactly the way Murtasim Khan would talk.

As always, he had thought about everything.

" Aap lotion ke saath kuch na insafi nahi ho gee. Aap ko construction ke doran aik nai jaga dee jaye gee rehnay ke liye, aur jab colony Tayyar hi jaye gee tau aap wahan reh sakte Hain."

" construction ke doran aap wahan kaam kar sakte Hain,"

"Jab colony Tayyar ho jaye gee tau aap ke bachon ke liye muft taleem ka bhi intezaam ho ga."

Upon hearing all this, the villagers became very happy and accepted the offer.

Once again, Murtasim was sorted, he was not cruel or opportunist.

Meerub was shocked, Murtasim satisfied, and the man who came with Meerub started making calls to settle the issue.

As they turned back to return, Murtasim came closer to Meerub and said,"Chalien?"
