Her Silence Screamed A Thousand Words

Episode 34

Raza's POV

I saw Dua walking in the direction of the restroom followed by an unknown man but I ignored it since the men's restroom is in the same corridor as the women's. I ignored her just like her message. I kept on talking to one of my business partners. I recently started my own car manufacturing company since I didn't only wanted to be known for handling my Abba's company only.

Its been almost an hour since she left. In this half an hour my eyes involuntarily went to the corridor she went through. I can't even leave that woman alone without having the fear that she might end up dead.

Just this day itself has proven enough. I walked through the corridor and went to look for her but couldn't find her. I walked towards the ladies washroom and knocked on the door. No one answered neither came out.

"Dua?!" I called out but no answer came. Please just be alive I don't ask for much. I thought and slowly opened the door. I walked in the dimly lit restroom and looked around. My eyes finally settled on a small figure curled up in a corner. I walked further in to recognise the powder pink colour of Dua's dress. I rush forward only to find Dua sitting unconscious. Her back against the wall. Head on her knees. I walked forward and shook her but in response her hand fell limp. Panic started building up inside me.

"Uff Dua can't you stay alive for just one day?" I said frustrated. I opened the faucet and took some water in my hand and sprinkled it on her face. Her head hung back giving me a clear view of her swan like neck. What caught my attention was the bruise on her neck. The redness surrounding on particular area just above her collarbone. It looked like a.. .. A hickey? While I was out there thinking she's using the washroom she was busy hooking up with some random man. The thought it self made my blood boil.

Is she that desperate? I asked my self. I saw her gaining consciousness. I moved back clenching my fist tightly.

She opened her eyes and held her head. She hadn't realized that I'm standing infront of her. Her eyes widened big enough for her eye balls to come out. Her hand went to the spot where the mark resides.

"Thinking how you'll hide it from me?" I said not wanting to stay here for long. Her eyes snapped up at me. Now that I see her eyes are glossy.

"I wonder what else you would've done with that lover of yours." I said with a straight face.

She shook her head vigorously. She opened her mouth to say something I guess but she didn't.

"No? Well your crumpled dress and that hickey says something else" I said with venom in my voice.

She signed something but I was too furious to understand.

"Explain" I said not even meaning it.

"EXPLAIN I SAID" I yelled. She lowered her head and signed "I didn't do anything " that's it. Enraged I took a hold of her jaw and pulled her face close to mine. For a moment her base wavered and tears gathered in her eyes as she desperately tried to pull my hand away and I let her go with sharp push.

She held her cheek in her palm. Her tears were rolling down her face. But her expression stayed still. Almost lifeless. Her eyes stared at me while tears silently fell. To he honest the way she's looking at me scares the hell out of me. The only reaction I got out from her are her tears and the hand on her cheek.

She removed her hand from her cheek and wiped her tears. She averted her eyes from mine looked away. She scoffed coldly and I was scared beyond words this was not the reaction I expected but it only angered me more.

I grabbed her arm and yanked her  back making her look in my eyes. She looked at me with no emotions in her eyes but the grin only widened.

"I don't know what you find funny in all this but it would be better if you fix your self up. And quick." With that I pushed her away from me and walked out..............

I walked out in the garden to calm myself down. I took a cigarette from the pack and lit it up. I smoked the cigarette under a minute or even lesser. I don't know after how many cigarettes I went inside. I saw Dua sitting on the stage with a smile on her face. She was sign talking with Mehak. If I didn't know better I would've believed her act. She silently laughed but when her eyes met mine her smile vanished for a second, her eyes held the disappointment that confuses me to the extreme.

I walked upto her and sat beside her. I looked over at her and saw that there were no marks on her neck and face. That disgusting mark was gone along with my finger prints. Her Ammi came and patted the same cheek I slapped her on. Dua tensed up a little. But hung her head down.

"Are you OK?" Aunty Tabassum asked. In response Dua just nodded.

Soon it was time to leave and we left. The car ride was silent and I liked it that way. I dropped dua at home and went to kashaf. I have to get the idea of Dua with another man out of my head...............
