Tangled

Chapter 9

Shehriyar!

Why was he here?

Frozen at my spot, my hands fall on the either side of my body.

But I stand there scared. Scared of the fact, I was helpless alone and yet I had been. I was never mentally prepared to confront one of them.

Never!

I was dragged out of my thoughts as someone was shaking my form by my shoulder. I look at Arish and pushed his hand away from me. Disgust by him. How could he bring him?

Giving him a disgusted look, I turn on my heel, and start walking the stairs. "It's rude to ignore me, sister in law." I turned around to see Shehriyar, standing at the first step. Plastering a emotionless and stern look.

"Keep your filthy voice to yourself, I don't have time to preform ablution due to your presence near me." I turn and move at a quicker pace than before totally ignoring the pain in my feet.

Entering in the room, I sighed as if I entered heaven. Sitting against the door I place my head on the near wall, hugging my legs to my chest.

Why Arish, would you bring him here? Why make me hate you more? Why make me hate myself again?

If only I could cry, it wont hurt as if my heart has been broken in thousands of pieces yet, it will never stop breaking again and again.

I closed my eyes as I remembered the time I wanted to fight against my rapists. I had every evidence I needed back then.

My medical report, the torn dress ( I threw away later ) , the gun one of them fired and fingerprints of 3 rapists. I also had the footage of that area. Everything I needed to win the case.

I just didn't have the support. My parents locked me up for 6 months in my room so I couldn't even think of getting justice. They never allowed me to go outside.

But in that room, my motivation got only stronger. I wanted justice. I wanted them to be punished.

Then it all sank when my father came to my room one day. He said something that changed everything. I stopped wishing for the justice I longed for.

But still I have my limits, I can't stand him infront of me. It reminds me of how weak I was.

I heard a knock, glancing up I cleaned my strained face and walked inside the bathroom.

Almir walks up to me .

" So you are my sister now!"

I simply nodded.

"I always wanted a sister. And it's amazing to have you here with us. Though I feel bad for you, being wife of 'Arish' isn't something I would want for any girl." He said.

"We do think alike. I like you." I said smiling.

"So tell me more about yourselff." I encouraged him.

He sat down on the bed besides me smiling.

"I really love baking, but according to brother ' Mr. Perfect ' , it's just foolish of me to even think about it. He wants me to be like him" he scowled.

" What? Never even think about being like him. He is just full of himself. Go on with what you love. Don't chase his dreams, you already have your hands full with your own dreams. Your brother is just stupid and an idiot."

He gave out a chuckle. "Well, he is not stupid or idiotic to be one of the most successful business men." he said.

"He is successful because he loves what he does." I say giving him a wink.
