Possession

38. Enraged

Irtaza was in his room getting ready for the function. After an hour he and Zahra will have to appear on the stage when Shehryaar suddenly barged into his room.

"Irtaza something happened to Asma aunty." he informed.

"What?"

"Yes we've called an ambulance already. She was sitting when suddenly she fell down, holding her throat."

"Come" Irtaza said and they both rushed towards the main hall where the function was happening.

Everyone was gathered around her. They pushed away people and got into the center. She was laying on the floor, her head was in Dua's lap and Saif was continuously massaging her hands while Haseeb her feet. Her breath was hitched and she was breathing with difficult, her eyes were widened.

Everyone was screaming to call for an ambulance which was on its way. Irtaza looked towards Shehryaar who was looking at him with a familiar gaze.

He squatted down and asked Dua to make her sit and support her back. While Shehryaar ordered for a container which the maid abruptly brought.

Irtaza opened her mouth and shoved his fingers down her throat, gagging her and Saif held the container infront of her when suddenly she vomited. He did it two to three times until all the food which she had taken was out from her system.

After that, she was taken to her room so she could rest while everyone dispersed away as Shehryaar asked them to continue the party, she's totally fine.

Everyone went back to there businesses while Saif, Haya and Dua along with her went in her room and Haseeb got lost all of a sudden on getting a call.

"She was poisoned." Irtaza gritted to Shehryaar when they both went back to his room.

"How's that possible?"

"And who could dare to do that specially on this day."

"Call the security guards and I want CCTV footage-" his sentence got cut off when Haseeb suddenly entered into his room.

"Bhai! Bhai! Daniyal escaped!" He breathlessly said.

"Fuck. How do you know?"

"Amman your third in command whom you had given the responsibility to look after Daniyal, he is my friend, he called me just now and told me that he was kidnapped while he was heading towards the warehouse this noon. Since many days, he was telling me that someone is following him but I told him that he was being paranoid. Today, he was in his car, the route was quite desolated when suddenly a group of cars attacked him and kidnapped him. He was badly beaten and was taken to a bleak area. They people forced him to call the main guard of the warehouse where Daniyal was kept and ask that guard to leave the warehouse immediately along with other guards because you had ordered him to explode the warehouse as there is a bomb planted there and in this way Daniyal will be killed without any evidence behind and they did just that. After some hours they released Amman and he was without any mobile phone and car. He remembered my phone number and called me from a P.C.O. just now. Then it fell upon me it was all a trap and Daniyal had escaped fr-" his sentence cut short when Shehryaar got a call and he picked it up immediately.

"Yes?"

"What?"

"Ok" he said and hung the call.

He looked towards Irtaza and informed him of the news he got just now.

"Zahra had escaped the haveli leaving a note behind." He informed.

Irtaza took a long deep breath trying his best to control the immense anger and rage he felt at the moment. He was thinking hard placing all his anger aside and trying to put two and two together then it fell upon him, it was a trap, a fucking trap.
