HAMZA.The ladies were busy shopping and I was seated in the corner scrolling through my phone. My phone rang and I picked it up, it was one of my friends. Talking with him I roamed my eyes around looking at my family members but instead of Mahira everyone was there.
Where is this girl? Standing up from my place I started looking around for her. Telling my friend that I'll call later I cut the phone and keep it in my pocket. "Hamza." I looked around to see Nazneen Phupho standing with her face filled with worry.
"Jee Phupho."
"Mahira abhi ka keh kar gayi thi, par 15 minute ho chuke hai." (Mahira said she would come in a while but it's been 15 minutes now). She was stressed out.
"Phupho relax. Mein abhi dekh kar aata hun, aap tension na lein. Yahi kahi ice cream ke stall par hogi" (Relax. I'll go and look around and don't stress out. She might be at some ice cream stall). I tried to calm her down though I was worried myself.
"Aap ne call kiya tha?" (Did you call her?).
She shook her head, "Phone mere bag mein hai." (Phone is in my bag). She looked as if she would cry at any moment.
"Please calm down mein abhi aaya." (I'll come in a while). Saying it I ran out of the showroom and was looking around the surroundings. Where does this girl might be? I searched around the entire mall but she wasn't there. Only the food court and the restroom are left. First I made my way towards the food court and looked around.
There she is, sighing to myself I walked further but halted in my steps looking at the three guys teasing her. She was extremely terrified and was trying to go from them but they kept on blocking her route.
Curling my fingers into fists I straight marched towards them. Turning the first guy I gave a solid punch on his face making him stumble back. The other two lurched at me at the same time and punched my face.
I punched back more forcely till he got bloodied. They were trying to stop me but I wasn't in the mood to back down. A group of people pulled me back from that bastard and I tried again to punch the other one but they ran away.
Jerking off the hands which were holding me I walked towards Mahira, who was crying hysterically. As I stepped forward she stepped back. She might be so frightened with everything happening. I calmed myself first and looked around. There was a group of people looking at us.
"Tamasha chal raha hein yaha?" (Is the drama going on?). Finally they started dispersing and I turned back at Mahira.
"Mahira."
"I'm sorry.. You got hurt because of me." She was crying continuously and looking at her was making my heart clench in pain. "Hey hey calm down." She sobbed harder looking down.
"Hira." I called her and she slowly looked up at me with teary eyes. "Come here, sit down." I gestured at the nearby table and she slowly started walking towards it. I pulled the chair for her and she sat on it. Taking the chair from the other side I sat beside her.
First things first I need to inform Phupho cause she was really stressed out. I dialled her number and informed her that I found Mahira and we will come in a while. Keeping the phone back in my pocket I looked at her. She was hiccupping and sniffling.
I stood from my place and brought the water bottle for her and passed in her direction removing the cap. She took a few sips and again wiped her tears. "Ab rona toh band karo." (Now stop crying).
