" abbu, please take me away from here. Murtasim is really not the person I thought he was. He is abusing me. He beats me everyday and tortures me".

She says with a fake heavy voice.

" You are getting what you choose for. Now deal with it. You didn't even think once about our families reputation before taking that step. I don't feel bad for you even a bit. I wish he tortures you still more and he never stops abusing you so that you regret your entire life".

Meerab eyes fills up with tears.

" And once more things. Your father got to know about this. Now he doesn't want even see your face. He wants disown you and throw you out of the property. You will get the news very soon. Don't you dare to call me again.".

He warns and declines the call.

Murtasim was really feeling discusted. Meerab was trying really hard to control her tears.

She was avoiding eye contact with him. He didn't know what to say.

" I didn't know that you grandmother had one more son".

He says.

" Me neither".

She replied with looking at him.

" Why didn't you correct me. When I referred you as his daughter and why does everyone say you his daughter".

Murtasim questions.

" I was scared that you harm him and blackmail me using his name. My father lives in australia. Mostly I am seen with tai abbu and tai ammi. That's why everyone thinks that. Only few people know about this".

Meerab explained.

" Ohh".

He says while understanding. He looked towards her with concern and asked.

" You're ok right ".

Meerab look towards and puts on fake smile and replies.

" Ya, i expected that. I think this is how a girl's family reacts when she runs away and gets married.".

Murtasim's phone rings. Murtasim checks it and says.

" I should get that ".

Meerab nods and murtasim leaves the room.

Later murtasim enters in to the room calling out meerab 's name but he stops in middle seeing that she is offering namaz.

He waits patiently back until she completes her namaz. She finishes her prayer and gets up and turns around.

Murtasim looks into her eyes. Her eyes wet. Looks like she was crying. Her mood was off throughout the day. She was trying to pretend to be ok.

She wipes her tears and looks towards him and raises her eyebrows.

" Ammi is calling you ".

He says.

Meerab nods. She keeps prayer mat on the bed and leaves the room.
.
.
" Here you are. Please come and sit ".
Mariyam invists her.

They were sitting in drawing room. The table was covered with different kinds of ice cream.

Meerab sits opposite of them. Salma was also present there. Meerab looks at all the ice cream which was present on the table.
