Meerab's scream
"No no noooo !!!!!"
and with that Meerab woke up and started shivering murtasim saw that and pulled Meerab into a hug and spoke
"What happened?"
Meerab takes a couple of minute's to settle everything up and said.
"I am fine now I just saw a nightmare."
"Meerab, you know that there are no ghosts here, right?"
"But you said that where are ghosts in this house."
"I was kidding to scare you. "
"But I actually saw someone running down the hallway and the staircase."
"Meerab it was just your imagination because you were scared. "
after a while she saw a shadow of a person run through the garden. She was surprised, who could be running in the garden in the middle of the night?
They both searched the garden but found nothing out of the ordinary. Even the security guards confirmed that they hadn't seen anything suspicious.
"Fine let's just go to bed."
, Meerab sighed tiredly. When she entered their room, she could feel something suspicious. Murtasim looked confused when she stopped suddenly before him.
"What's wrong Meer-", she pointed shakily to their window.
Murtasim could see a shadow of someone behind the curtains. He swiftly pulled Meerab behind him, shielding her.
"Who's there? Come out of there right now!"
he said firmly. Meerab unconsciously moved closer to him and hid her face on his back. Finally, the figure stepped out of the curtains.
"Haya?"
Murtasim asked confused.
"What are you doing here? And why were you hiding?".
Meerab poked her head out of her hiding spot and finally stepped away from Murtasim. He already missed her closeness.
"Murtasim I wasn't hiding, I dropped something when I came to ask what you wanted for breakfast tomorrow, so I was just searching for that behind the curtain."
she said unconvincingly looking flustered. Meerab rolled her eyes at her lame excuse. Murtasim too didn't believe her story but chose to let it go. After she was gone Meerab noted some of her things had been scattered from their usual spot. So, Haya had been looking for something, what could it be she thought absently. Meerab couldn't seem to sleep as the paranoia from earlier was still haunting her. She kept tossing and turning. "Meerab", Murtasim called softly. Meerab was startled for a second then relaxed after realizing it's just Murtasim.
"Are you awake?'
he asked her with a small smile.
"yes ,murtasim don't you think that it's weird that at this time Haya was in our room like its midnight and what was she even doing here I am not satisfied by her answer. "
"Hmm..."
"murtasim can we please go and ask her because if we don't, I will not be able to sleep. "
"We can ask her in morning."
"Please murtasim "
she said in a cute tone and murtasim can't say no to that.
"Ok but you stay here I will only go!"
"okay "
as he went upstairs andAs he entered the storeroom just above their room, what he saw just shook him up.
In the middle of the room, lay five diyas in a round plate. Between the diyas, there was a half-burnt picture of Meerab- his Meerab, some red colored powder spread all over. Around the round plate, four diyas kept, making a square. Two words that came into his mind were- black magic. And next, his eyes fell on the figure sitting beside the set-up - Haya, whose face now drained of color. He quickly grabbed the half-burnt picture to save it from further damage. His heart ached at the sight of Meerab's picture being burnt. But this was not the time to get emotional. He had to clear up the mess that Haya had created in their lives. He had never responded to any of her misdeeds initially as he thought she was his responsibility. He thought she will understand the situation with time. But this? He never thought that the girl with whom he had grown up with, will stoop so low and that too just for a man- a happily married man. Their upbringing had been done by the same mother but still she was there, a lady with no self- respect, no humanity, who will do anything for what she want, completely different from him and Maryam. Keeping the picture safely in his pocket, he again turned towards her.
"Murta...Murtasim vo..."
"Not a single word more or else will kill you." he screamed.
Even though Murtasim was a feudal lord who are known to use black magic or at least trust in it but he is being a well-educated person does not believe in all this. It was the fact that she was doing all this to hurt someone and that someone was not a random person but his wife, his Meerab, jolted him to the core. Even the thought of anything happening to her engulfs him with an undeniable fear. That day when they had met with the accident, he had intentionally turned the car in such a way that the truck which was approaching Meerab's side initially, hit his side. And now, he too didn't know what he would do with the person who was intentionally hurting her. Meerab had always raised her concerns towards Haya, but he had always denied it. But today, he felt like killing her right there, at that very moment. How dare she? How dare she thought of hurting his
"NEECHE CHALO" he commanded.
"murtasim listen to me please. "
"What are you expecting from me that you are trying to harm, and wife and I should leave you? "
listening all the voices from upstairs Meerab went to check that what was happening there.as she entered the room Meerab was shocked to see what was present there. She knows that Haya could hurt her, but she never thought that she can go to such extant and preform black magic on her.
"what's happing here. "
she asked murtasim
"You came again you should die Meerab or else I will kill you. "
Haya screamed AND murtasim SLAPPED HER HARD and after that murtasim pulled her and brought her down to call all the family member to tell them about her.
at hearing all this maa begum send Haya to village and started plaining for her marriage.
