Chapter No 4

"Come here doll"

At the age of 10 she was unaware of the poison that these three simple words contained layered in sweetness

"I'll brought you more chocolates so kiss me here on the lips and its our little secret" she used to fearfully comply to his every command because if she dare to disobey him, he would cut her with the paper cutter he always kept with him

She doesn't like it but at this age she just considered it the way of showing love and affection to the youngers. Also when she get herself busied playing with her new friend she would forget everything.

"Meera" she woke up hearing the concerned voice closing it the next moment at this sudden contact of her eyes with the light

Rebecca let out a satisfactory sigh, "Thank God you at least woke up"

She tried opening her eyes again and this time she succeeded

"I think I am a great sinner. Death also don't want to embrace me" her words struck Rebecca straight in the heart. Coming to her, she stroked the back of her hand as a gesture she was not alone on this

A painful smile touched her lips. Her family is enjoying their lives and here she is going through all the trauma alone

"Where am I?" She asked feebly though she knew the answer

"At Doctor Suzzane's clinic" Doctor Suzzane was the lady in her forties. She was Rebecca's client and like her, Doctor Suzzane was well aware of Meerab's history

Rebecca came and sat beside her, "Meera you ok?" She felt stupid though asking it to her

"You know what Beca, He ruined me, destroyed me and the irony is I am still alive to face this humiliation" she was not crying, her eyes were hollow devoid of any emotions

"No you won't face it. Call Wali and tell him everything" Like always she just stressed only this point and this time Meerab didn't refuse her

"Can I use your phone? My phone is being bugged" Rebecca nodded. Taking the phone from her she dialed the number which Saeed Ahmed saved in her contacts. After three rings the call was picked

"Hello" she lost her words hearing the husky voice. She doesn't realize when her eyes starts watering

"Hello" he pressed again and she inhaled a deep breath a vain attempt to swallow her tears

"Ass-Assalam-O-Alaikum" she finally managed to speak

"Wa Alaikum-uss-Salam" he politely returned her greetings

She again went quiet unsure if it was really Wali or Saeed uncle just tricked her so she apprehensively confirmed in low voice

"Wali?" 

"Yes I am speaking" she sighed a breath of relief, "But can you please introduce yourself to me" he paused for a second, "Who are you and what do you want from me?" she could sense the annoyance in his tone

"M-Meerab" she spoke, "I am Meerab and I need your help"

There was no reply from him for a few second and when he did, she wished he would never speak

"I don't know any girl of this name. Now if you excuse me I am a bit busy right now" He was sure that it was some sort of prank call and he would not believe it. He was about to cut the call when her voice stopped him

"Wa-Wali please listen to me" she paused but continued quickly, "Ok .. ok you remember in our last  meeting you said you would help me anytime, I just need to call you"
