Doomed in love

chapter 14

Meerab was shocked to see decorated room like it was their wedding night, she was not ready for all these things, still they both are not on talking terms, she agreed to come back because with time it was getting difficult for his baba and bhai to save her from vultures of society who were trying to take advantage of her situation as they were unaware of her hidden marriage, not everyone was like Anas  who understood her and supported her as a friend, he was only the one who feeded wrogly haya about his relation with her, but this also took months for Murtasim to react as he himself was not in good terms with haya..

Suddenly she felt someone backhugging her but soon composed as she realised it was her husband..

Murtasim: seeing you standing in my room as my wife is like my childhood dream has now fulfilled, though the path was difficult but now together we will face every difficulty, ( he turned her around) promise me meerab , whatever may be the situation now you will not leave me and I promise you that you will always be my priority..

Meerab smiled and holded his hand and promised him to be with him forever...

Meerab: khan sahab

Murtasim: yes Mrs khan

Meerab : ( seeing towards decoration)  I am not ready for all this..

Murtasim : (soflty speaking in her ear ) For what ..

Meerab: aaa.. wo... ( she could not speak further)..

Murtasim: ( holding her shoulders ) i know you are very innocent and I will make you ready for all these things, for time being just relax and don't worry, till the time you are not ready we will not proceed ( he kissed her forehead and then her cheek and left )....

Meerab was now relaxed as she needed time to absorb changes which took place in a day, she has plans for herself, this seperation from Murtasim made her a little selfish, now she wants to do something for herself, she can't remain just wife of murtasim khan, she realised that God has given everyone some talent, so we should use that for welfare for people around us, she wanted to start her school and that she will do at any cost,  she will balance her married life as well social responsibility,  now she is well prepared but for that she needs to share first all this feelings with murtasim and convince him, then only she can move ahead..

A maid came and informed her that Maa begum wants to meet her..

She went to greet Maa begum she found everything was as it is , nothing was changed after she left, not a single thing was displaced, she was feeling same Haveli,  which she decorated when she was 19, though she was allowed to do so as everyone wanted her to be happy as due to murtasim she wasn't allowed to study further...

When she reached in hall, Maa begum was waiting for her, she seemed to be very happy ...

Maa begum : you are light of this Haveli, after you came everyone has become more energetic and especially my son is so happy , after two years I am seeing him in Haveli like he owns it,  else, whenever he comes, he arrives late night and leave early morning like a thief...

Maa begum : god bless you both happiness and now I want to become a grand mother soon, i want small meerab and murtasim , who will bind all of us in a strong relationship and enlighten this palace forever..

Meerab felt shy listening about kids, but Maa begum didn't stopped here ..

Maa begum : why don't you and murtasim go to some other place, so that you both can get sufficient time to know each other and can have some quality time..

Listening all this from Maa begum meerab was feeling very odd, she thought may be she wants murtasim to be happy now...

Meerab thought to change topic ..

Meerab : where is haya..?

Maa begum: why do you want to know, let her be where she is, forget her now she doesnt exist, i have only one daughter in law that is you, i have called you for important reason , all woman of our village will come by today evening to meet you, to meet their khani, so be ready, and yes I have told everyone, my daughter in law will take a break of one month, then I will hand over all responsibilities till time i will take care of your work, so meet them today they will be very happy to see you..

Meerab: but Maa begum, I want to know what murtasim did to haya because whatever she might have done, she will remain my cousin first, we have grown up together , though I am angry with her, but I don't want her to get harmed , please tell me where she is and from the time i came ,I didn't saw Anwar chacha also, where are they..

A sudden voice boomed in hall..

Person : I will tell you where she is....
