Zarakh's POV

When Shoban and I reached the haveli gates, my guards were showing me concerned looks. When I reached to them and asked for fathers whereabouts they just stared at me until I glared and My glare made them attentive and started talking.

"Zarakh Bhai jan! Where were you? You don't know Mir sahab have been waiting for you so long." One guard said.
"Sameer, I know I know! Just tell me where is he?" I asked the guard.
"He is in Autaak Bhai Jaan."
(Autaak is a common name used for a place in a house where only males are allowed).
As soon as he told me about fathers whereabouts, Shoban and I ran to that way and reached there. As we reached the door of Autaak, we stopped abruptly and took a look at each other to see if we are presentable. And then nodded at each other.
I was the first one to enter the room. And Shoban timidly followed me inside. The first thing I saw in the room was father's back.

I started "Abba Mir! You asked for my presence?" 
Just in a second father replied. "Yes Zarakh Khan! Only if you're done with your rest, so we can discuss something here!"
"I am sorry Abba Mir for my late arrival. You know I rest in fields at this time of the day. It helps me to keep myself sane".
Fathers annoyed expressions softened a bit and then what he told next made me lose my sanity.

"What? That police officer is still meddling in our business. When will he ever learn." I yelled and then realised that I am in front of father so I composed myself. "So you're saying that he has arrested Dilawar".
Father nodded in response and said "yes! He came to know that Dilawar was in local market. He took his chance and caught Dilawar, accusing him for firing in local market. When all That guy did was to shoot a tree branch to get some mangoes."

"I know Abba Mir, Dilawar is harmless. The police officer Sultan Jamshed just needs a chance to capture our people. But this time I promise you that this will will his last time meddling with our people" I said in a determined tone.

"I know Zarakh Khan. I believe in you. But control your anger. We don't need to rush and deal with unnecessary consequences. You getting it?" Father asked.

"I know Abba Mir! I know. Just believe in me okay. This time I want to do things in my way" I said 
"Of course I believe in you! You bheengh" (a common swear in Balochi language)
And then father and Shoban started laughing and I laughed too. This lightened the mood.

At night time when I got out of the Autaak after dinner with father. I asked my mans to meet me in my study. After gathering them all, I ordered them to spy on police officer Sultan Jamshed and his family and tell me everything about his life. They all got out of my study except Shoban. He came near me and stood behind my chair and started massaging my shoulders and said
" I am sure brother. This is his last time interfering in our business"
"It is ." I replied. Just wait Sultan Jamshed, I am coming for you.
