Chapter 3

It had been two weeks since Ahmed's death. Shad family overcame the tragedy and returned to its previous state. But his absence left a big hole in his family's heart. 

Whatever happened or whoever had come and gone, Ashrah's life didn't change slightly from the poor servant position. She had been serving everyone like they were her masters while she was the slave they bought from a slave market. 

Ashrah was cleaning Fariyah's bedroom, her eyes caught a packet of something lying on the floor. 

“What is this?” She bent down and picked up the packet.

She examined the packet in her hand, “I have seen this before but,” She thought for a while, and she got it “umm...where...yeah, in bhai's wardrobe.”

She apprehended as it's something related to the men. But, how did this lay here now? She hadn't seen anything when she cleaned last night.

“Maybe bhabhi took it out to remember bhai.” She thought to herself. 

She strode over to the wardrobe to place it back when her name called out from behind,

“Ashrah,” Fariyah came out of the washroom. Her eyes focused on Ashrah's hand. “What is in your hands?” 

“It's a packet, bhabhi. I guess it's bhai's. So I am going to place it back.” Ashrah said extending her hand towards her. 

Fariyah's eyes widened in astoundingly. It's a condom! 

Within fraction of seconds their last night sex flashed in her eyes, it was awesome! Her lover made her feel want him more and more. But she failed to destroy the traces of their wild passion filled night. But here, she was lucky. Because her sister-in-law was an idiot, she didn't even know what it was. And what was it used for? Therefore, Fariyah was lucky. 

Fariyah snatched the packet from her hand hastily and Ashrah couldn't help but ask,

“What is that, bhabhi?”

“Ah...nothing.” Fariyah threw it to the floor, “Clean here well.” She walked towards the closet to get change. She knew that if she hid it, Ashrah would be suspicious about it. But she didn't notice one thing, her sister-in-law had already gotten suspicious about it from her facial expressions. Even though Ashrah wasn't a genius to read everybody's lie, she wasn't a fool either not to understand what happened before her eyes. 

After making sure Fariyah was not there, she took the packet and hid in her clothes. She wanted to know what it was.

“Do we need this? See, anything can happen here. He doesn't lose a chance to make us a history. So, you should think twice before getting inside.” Aezaj said the matter of fact as they're outside Marwan haveli. 

Adham turned to his companion, Aezaj with a smile, “Aezaj, I have seen death before my eyes many times. In fact, I am grown-up with it which always follows me like a dark shadow. It never frightens me.” His metallic eyes shone in the reflection through the glass as if it gave an addition to his statement. 

“You can stay here until I return. I don't need your presence there.” Adham suggested. 

“That is not going to happen, bhai. Because I always want to be with you. Nobody can deny that, neither can you,” Adham chuckled after hearing him. Sometimes, Aezaj became a stubborn child. 

“It is not about fear. It's about a man who is not even worth facing you. Because, Shazman Marwan is the worst person I have ever seen.” Aezaj felt the urge to wash his mouth after saying his name.
