Zarakh's POV

Lying? I never lie. I don't consider it as a word, it's a crime. It has no meaning, no explanation. I only hide the truth. After my Mother's death my dad, Abba Mir changed completely. But only for the world. To us he was still the dad we always had. He became ruthless towards people who do him wrong or who come between his matters. He isn't cruel, he just want everything under controlled.

I was only eight. The only son of Mir Chakar and Aliya bibi, when Noori came into this world. I was at my Chacha's (uncle's) house playing with Hamza my cousin when I was asked to be brought back home with guards. I was delighted to meet my sister, but the happiness was short lived as I was told about my mother's death. It's been years but I still miss her. A lot.

Walking towards Abba Mir's room I knocked twice and was asked to enter. As I entered the room, the familiar picture of my childhood with me laughing with dad came into the view. Abba Mir noticed my gaze and said "what an innocent day, that we could see an actual happy smile of yours".

I looked at Abba Mir "we can't be innocent always, we are not innocent once we grow up." I replied

"But your heart is. It's just as soft as it was 19 years ago." Abba Mir said
I stared at Abba and saw how old he has become in those 19 years. His once black hair are all grey now. But his grace has only increased day by day. His Aura is so dominating yet calm that one could never understand what he is thinking. I am his only son, but I am still trying to know what he actually is.

"So, Zarakh, what is the news regarding Dilawar's return?" He broke my trance.
"He shall return very soon Abba, you don't have to worry". I assured him.

"Is it so?" He asked. "I am working on it." I replied leaving him no space to ask further.
He nodded.

"Come Abba, dinner is ready. Ama Sakina asked me to call you aswell." I informed him.
"Food shall never wait for us son, let us move fast". Abba said.

Shoban's POV

I just hope that Zarakh, The ultimate truth KING didn't tell anything about this kidnapping to Mir sahab. He will get me killed one day for sure

I thought while eating my nails. Why aren't they here yet. It's been almost 15 minutes. Why isn't he coming with Mir sahab.
"Shoban bhai, can you stop biting your nails. I am losing my appetite" I glanced at Noorii who was sitting opposite to me on the dinning table waiting for dinner.
"Shutup you little monkey, how can you eat all day even with so much happening." I said amusingly.
She looked at me and then realised something. Oh shit no! "Don't start crying again Noorii. Dilawar is coming back in no time." I assured her
"Are you sure bhai?" She asked me.
"A big yes, little monkey. You think your elder brothers cannot even bring back your Dilawar?" I asked "he's not my Dilawar yet" she replied shyly.
"Ooooww, look at this monkey being all shy and innocent now. What a funny site". I laughed. 
"Ha ha ha, very funny bhai" she said uninterested.

"what's funny Noor bano?"
We turned towards the new voice.
Mir Sahab was watching us with his kind smile.
"Nothing Abba jan, just Shoban bhai being Shoban bhai". Noorii replied while showing me her tongue.

Aisshhh this brat. I turned and looked at Zarakh trying to know about his little meeting. He assured me with a friendly nod. Huhhhh Thank God. I don't know how long we will be able to keep it.


Zarakh's POV

We were all eating dinner, with Shoban teasing Noorii and dad asking me about business.
I glanced at Shoban stuffing his mouth with everything on his plate. He must've not eaten anything since morning because of our little kidnapping thing.
She must be in the room. I just hope she haven't made any trouble or I will not leave her and her father alone.
After dinner I should check up on her and provide her something to eat. Don't want her starving so that Jamshed makes any delay in Dilawar's return.
Speaking of which, why haven't he made any move yet. He should've been here within an hour. There is no other then me who could dare to take his daughter.
