" ran away".

He repeated in shock.

" Yes, she ran away and got married. I don't know how many days she was hiding this from us. On the day of Alam 's engagement. Her husband created a big scene and took her with him.".

Zakir continues.

"That was good we handled the situation and sent the guest to the other side. Otherwise your daughter had fully planned to humiliate us and insult us in front of everyone. She misbehaved with us. At last while  leaving she said to us that we are dead for her and she doesn't wanna see our face again. After  all the things we have done for her.".

Jahara complains.

" No Amma , Meerab cannot say those things. She cannot misbehave with anyone ".

Anwar objects.

" So you are saying that we are lying".
Zakir says.

" No, but I cannot believe that meerab did these things. She is mine and Nazia 's blood. She can never do this shit. Something is wrong. Something must have happened".

He objects.

Zakir looks towards jahara. Their lies are not working. Jahara gently blinks her eyes signalling him to have patience.

" Wait a minute. This happened on the day Alam engagement right. It has been almost two to three weeks and you guys hid this from me ".

Anwar questions.

Zakir and jahara go blank. Anwar was waiting for his answer.

Jahara thinks of something and says.

" We didn't want you to get stressed ".

" Get stressed. It was about my daughter Amma. She is the only memory I have left of Nazia. Now I am more stressed than before. I trusted you guys with my daughter. How did you guys let her go with a stranger?. You guys didn't do good with me. You shouldn't have hid this ".

Anwar felt betrayed.

He walks off to his room.

Next day in the morning. Meerab enters the room. She was looking into her phone. Her full attention was on her phone.

She was about to get bumped into the wall. A manly hand pulls her and prevents her from getting hurt. Meerab's phone falls down.

Meerab's hands lands on murtasim 's bare chest and Murtasim 's hands in her waist.

Murtasim was half naked. A towel was tucked up around his waist. He just came out after having a bath. Water was dripping through his hair.

Meerab was feeling butterflies in her stomach as she felt murtasim's bare chest.her heart  beat increased. Murtasim could feel the heat of meerab's soft hands on his chest. Both were lost in each other. They had intense eye contact.

Meerab looks down and realises their  proximity and murtasim is half naked.

She steps back immediately and Murtasim lets her go. She  closes her eyes and  turns around and leaves the room in awkwardness.

Anwar was going out in a hurry. Jahara stops him and questions.

" Where are you going Anwar?".

" I don't feel necessary to answer that".
He replied sternly.

" You won't go looking for her. She has done enough insults from  our family. I don't  want the entire  family to know about her doings".
She says.
