CHAPTER 15

"Its done" Dua announced

"No!" Zahra denied.

"And yes its final." Haya added

"No!" She denied again

"God! Zahra you're going with us and thats final. I don't want anymore excuses." Dua told

"I cant. Mama will not permit." Zahra said.

"Ohoo stupid I've already asked Aunty. She has no problem in it. And telling you the truth Ammara Aunty is so sweet." She exclaimed.

Zahra's face lightened after knowing that her mother has already allowed her to go with them. She was genuinely happy after getting cousins like Dua and Haya in her life. For an hour both of them were constantly forcing her to go to a restaurant as they were getting bored in haveli but Zahra kept on turning them down both by giving her lame excuses.

"Now do you have any problem madam?"

"No" she smiled brightly.

"Then go and get ready we do not have enough time. And here take these clothes. You will be wearing these." Haya said whilst handling her a light pink colored Kurta and trousers along with pink chiffon dupatta.

"Ok. Who else is going?" Zahra asked.

"Its me, you, Haya and Haseeb. Haseeb as in our driver." Dua answered making them both laugh.

"And?" 

"Do you want Irtaza bhai to come." Haya teased her.

"No No its not that. I mean there are other people as well." Zahra asked. She wanted to intermingle with all of her cousins.

"Saif bhai summer breaks are over today, so he is in university and Shehryaar bhai along with Haider taya, are on a visit to factories."

"Ok ok I got it."

"Wallahi I'm too excited werna mein tou ghar baith baith k sarr chuki thi." Haya said excitedly.

"Zahra go and get ready. Its 2:00 already, we both will take an hour to get ready and the restraunt is an hour away, we have to get back before 6. Now go and get ready asap." Dua commanded.

"Ok i'm going." She said and headed towards the washroom. She was also super excited to go with them.

........................

After an hour three of them got ready. Haya wore a red colored shirt with black pants and black sneakers, Zahra's kurta was light pink colored with minimal makeup while Dua wore a tucked in white T-shirt along with blue jeans and white sneakers. All of them united in Zahra's room after getting ready.

"OMG!! Dua you look so hawtttt!"

"fUCK! Haya you also look so sexy."

"And Zahra you look like a fairy."

"And Haseeb as usual looks so hot, sexy and-" Haseeb said whilst entering to the room.

"A Fairy" Dua added making them all laugh.

"That's not funny at all."

"Ok granny. Now come on we are getting late."

They moved towards the main door in the TV-lounge and found Dadi seated there.

"Where you all lads are going?" She asked.

"Dadi we were getting so bored so we made a plan to go for a resturaunt today." Haya informed.

"Ok bacho. Jaldi wapis aa jana."

(Come home early)

"Ok Dado"

"Zahra beta did you tell Irtaza that you're going out today?"

"No I didn't"

"Beta you should ask him first. Shabash ussey call kr k puch lou. He should be knowing about where you are going"

"Zahra here take my phone. Iss par baat kar lena."  Dua handed her phone to Zahra and she walked towards her room.

.........................................

Its been five minutes already but she could not gather enough courage to call him and ask him. She kept on walking here and there. Her first priority was always to be away from him, he always scares the shit out of her. Collecting the last ounce of courage she had, she at last clicked the dial button which was answered after two rings.

"Hello. Assalam Alaikum" her meek voice greeted, playing as a soft tune in his ears. He was surprised. He didnt expect her to call him.

"Yes?" his deep baritone reached her from the other side of phone, increasing the speed of her heart beat.

"I..Irtaza ba..at kar rah...ay hain kia?"  she stuttered already knowing its he who is on the other side of phone.

(Irtaza speaking?)

"What happened?"

"Woh mene aap sei aik baat, baat puchni thi"  she tried to sound confident but still it came out as a whisper.

(I..uhh.. actually have to ask something from you?)

"Am listening"

"Apki ijazat chaiye"

(I want your permission)

"Kayse ijazat?"

(What permission?)

Her heart beat palpitated again.
She took a whole damn minute to think how is she going to explain him everything. He never fails to knock the breath out of her.

"Hmn?" He questioned grabbing her attention again.

"I..uh...wo" she whispered, stuttering and tightly gripped the cellphone. She was afraid of his anger. She was a fragile girl who gets afraid even if someone angrily glares at her and her life has landed her into the hands of man who can make her stutter just by dark and strong voice.

"Meinhh......wohh" she stuttered again. No words were coming out of her mouth. Her mind was being hysterical. She knew this was not going to end well for her.  She does not why she was afraid but whenever she feels his presence around her, her body always reacts like that. Her face gets paled and lips turn white, her heart shudders in her chest, her hands begin to shiver and waves of goosebumps continuously washes over her body. His dark and petrifying personality had created this impact on her body. She can't help but act like that in his presence.
