"I'm Moosa. Are you Zahra." the stranger said.
"How do you know?" she gulped.
"I will tell but first you've to come with me."
"Why would I come with you?"
"You've to otherwise I'd have to take you by force."
"No. I wont come. Please go away."
"Hey mister, stop bothering us and get that car off of infront of us." Daniyal said, diverting his attention.
"You're free to leave but Zahra can't go." he drummed his fingers, looking at him challengingly.
"Fuck off bastard. Who the fuck are you?" Daniyal boomed.
"I told you already I'm Moosa." He smirked.
Paying no need to him, Daniyal jerked the gear and begin to reverse the car but it was a one way road and his car was standing in the middle blocking the way of his car in every way.
"Go wherever you want to but bhabhi your tracker will tell us your every location."
Her eyes widened and she guessed it right away. He was Irtaza's man. And something snapped inside her as panic jabbed her senses.
"Daniyal, please you run away! Please Irtaza will come here anytime soon! Please you go. Run! Daniyal. Run away now! Save your life!" Zahra hysterically said, panic written all over her face.
"Zahra we will live and die together. If he wants to come then he can, I won't let him snatch you from me." He vowed, reversing the car when suddenly he saw two fast moving cars coming towards them and abruptly stopped behind his car, blocking his way from both directions.
Her breathing quickened and she turned round, her eyes falling on cars stopping behind them. Her heart stopped beating when her eyes fell on Irtaza, who was coming out of that car.
"Please Daniyal!! Run!! Go away!! He will kill you!!" she cried, her eyes still following Irtaza's movements who was looking at her with his raged grey eyes. She hysterically begin to pull up her window.
He came to her door and was about to open the door when she locked it. Terror filled in her eyes. She was already crying. He will not spare her this time. He will kill her but she somehow has to save Daniyal from him.
He didn't do anything but straightly hit the barrel of gun on the window breaking it into pieces and unlocking the door. She has shielded herself with her hands so the glass didn't pierce her.
He opened the door wide and held her arm tightly, dragging her to his car. Moosa had already taken Daniyal out of the car and shoved him into his car while in third car, there was Shehryaar who was observing everything.
His beliefs were getting stronger and stronger not to trust any women and he smirked thinking whatever he is doing with her is right.
His grip on his arm painfully tightened as he dragged her to his car. Her body was shaking so bad.
She was terrified.
"Please! I to..ld you I didn't want this marriage! I don't want to live with you! Please you scare me! Please please I beg you leave us! Ple-" her beggings instantly stop when he landed a sharp slap on her face.
"Stay quiet before I beat the shit out of you right here!" He barked and shoved her down in his car.
He then entered to the car from other side and roared the engine to life driving it towards the haveli with full speed, its wheels creating a wheezing sound in the atmosphere. His grip on the steering was extremely tight, his jaw was clenched and he had a deep frown on his face.
She was whimpering, her heart was beating fast at an uneven speed. He caught her again and this time the punishment would be worse, she knew it and somehow she was ready to face it after all it was her fault again but she was scared for Daniyal's life more than hers.
Blind trust is a bad thing and in love people often blindly trust which make there senses jammed and they can't think of any other thing but to be with there lover and same was the case of Zahra. She was naive, she always had considered Daniyal as her hero and always got manipulated by him within seconds. She never had seen the real world, she was clueless what kind of vultures existed in this world even bigger than Shoaib when her fate played a game leaving her in the hands of Irtaza, her cousin. She wasn't able to understand why he wanted her, there was nothing special inside her, she was a girl who didn't even know what's right and what's wrong for her, what was infront her she accepted it as truth. Her whole life had revolved around Daniyal, Daniyal and just Daniyal.
She was not a girl to trust someone easily. In her whole life she hadn't trusted anyone but Daniyal, she hadn't loved anyone but him. He wasn't just a man but her whole life. Never for once thought of leaving Daniyal crossed her mind and now she had to leave him and go with Irtaza.
Irtaza stopped the car at the back gate of the haveli and then moved towards her taking her out of the car and dragging her inside.
She was not able to utter a word due to the immense fear. She knew what's coming her way and she was ready to face it. She could totally understand his anger but she did what she thought was right.
Rather what was made her look as a right thing.
He dragged her towards a door, which led to the basement. Shehryaar was coming along with Daniyal and Moosa following behind.
On reaching the basement, he didn't wait a second and landed a slap on her face, and she fell down. His eyes giving out pure rage making her more and more terrified.
"Get up!" He barked loudly and she abruptly stood up. She anticipated the slap which she received this time but she didn't fell down and he slapped her again and again making her land on the floor.
He turned around took off his coat and threw it on the nearby chair, meanwhile she abruptly stood up from the floor, and begin to run towards the door. He was slapping her so hard and she knew he was going to slap her again so she did what could at least save her from him for a little time.
"FUCKING STOP THERE!" Irtaza shouted loudly making her legs shaky.
She was running towards the basement door from where they came in when suddenly the door opened and Moosa came in and his eyes fell on hers.
Her eyes were widened and her lips were busted with slap marks on her cheeks. Zahra abruptly stopped and begin to take a step back, she turned half around and saw Irtaza coming towards her and she impulsively screamed, shielding her face with her arms. Moosa immediately came infront of her protecting her from Irtaza, he was looking raged, his eyes were bloodshot.
"Get off Moosa RIGHT NOW!" He shouted and tried to pry him off of infront of her.
"Irtaza leave her for now. You're not in your right senses. Bachi hai wo abhi. Leave her." He tried to argue but Irtaza shoved him away harshly and smashed her body on the wall, holding her throat painfully tight.
His hold on her throat increased ten folds and her oxygen supply cut short. She couldn't breathe when Moosa again interrupted holding Irtaza's arm.
"Irtaza leave her dammit! She will fucking die! Bachi hai wo abhi! Bachi hai! Atleast you act mature and leave her for now!." He said and harshly pulled Irtaza back who was breathing heavily. The anger had completely taken a control over his senses but Moosa's word hit him and he knew he had to act smartly not impulsively.
He took deep long breaths numerous times while Zahra was breathing rapidly, sitting on the floor and Shehryaar was holding Daniyal who was already handcuffed and blindfolded.
After taking a few breaths he calmed himself and then asked Shehryaar to make Daniyal sit on the chair which he did and tied his limbs to the chair, removing his blindfold.
Irtaza's head whipped towards Zahra who was still on the same spot.
"Come here right now." He ordered, his anger in his control now.
She didn't waste a second and immediately stood up, moving towards him. There was no other way other than to accept every atrocity inflicted by him on her. And she had braced herself for this.
Irtaza forwarded his gun to her and she took it, reluctantly.
"Do you want freedom from me? Say the truth."
"Ye..ss" she replied her voice getting small.
"Then kill him" he commanded, pointing towards Daniyal.
