JUNOON || جنون

| 30 |

Seven hours twenty-seven minutes since Shahzaib got to know that his Urwa, his wife was kidnapped and he was getting insane. He marched into Malik haveli where he hoped that he would find Azim Malik and threaten him for good and take his wife but that old man was not present. There were his sons Abbas Malik, Farhad Malik and Faris Malik, who knew nothing about his whereabouts.

As much they were his sons and there was doubt that they would know about their father's whereabouts but as much he knew they were sent aboard, Azim Malik hated his sons interference in his political matters. Nor his sons were like him, Shahzaib hoped.

He left Malik haveli disappointed, raging with wrath.

Urwa was not just his namesake wife. She was his life. Though this was all a political arrangement, an arranged marriage where both agreed but were still unwilling, they found comfort in each other. Though Urwa is not the one who expresses herself, he can see it, feel it.

It was all his mistake to let her go. If and only if he had not let her go, he would have fought with her, it would have been better if she would have gotten angry with him but at least she would have been with him.

Closing his eyes he can still visualise her smile, feel her warmth. How could he fail her?

He even has told some of his men to check a eye around Malik haveli in case Azim Malik decides to show up. While the other half were checking all the properties of Malik. Where the heck has Azim Malik kept Urwa?

How can he be so useless?

He was still in his office, his kameez was all wrinkled,  his gun was laying on his desk. He failed to protect his wife. He was ashamed. His father came to the office and reprimanded him for his behaviour for acting like a devdas. His office was totally a mess, papers were lying on the floor, while the vase he broke was still laying on the floor broken while his desk was totally clean because all of its things were thrown on the floor. Thanks to him.

He got up from his chair. He was going to find her, at any cost. For god sake he needs to stop acting like a devdas, this is not him. He can't let her go away from him, she is his god-damn life.

Marching towards the private room in his office where Azlan were present he questioned

"Kuch lead hai?"

Azlan shook his head disappointedly and looked at Shahzaib

"Saare aadmi Maliko ki properties ko check kar rahe hai, unke farmhouse wagera sab. While police wale Azim Malik ko dhundh rahe hai par phir bhi koi lead nahi hai"

If Urwa is not found at the earliest then his brother is going to be more ruthless than he is now.

Since Shahzaib has heard news of Urwa's disappearance, he is getting angry at even the slightest inconvenience. He nearly fired his men, as he called them incompetence.

Azlan himself was hanging on a thin thread, he himself went and checked all the properties which potentially could serve as a suspicious place but he was not able to find his bhabhi.

Urwa was now not just his bhabhi, she was his sister as well. He didn't know in what state she would be in right now. Guilt and anger weighed down upon his soul.

Shahzaib clenched his jaw in anger. Why the hell did he let her go? Why is he so careless? He needs to find her.

Suddenly he could hear shouting, he closed his eyes knowing the upcoming guest.

Why can't they let him at least feel guilty properly?

"Kaha hai tumhara kamchor bhai? Meri bhen ko dhundhe ke ilawa saare kaam kar raha hai woh"
