Mistress novel Chapter 39

Author's p.o.v

" Meher you should go to beauty saloon and do manicure and pedicure. For Allah's sake you are getting married tomorrow," Kamla masi(aunt) said to Meher who is looking outside through the window holding Mehrab in her lap.

Tomorrow she is going to be married to Rehaan. She is going to be Rehaan's wife. She isn't excited about the wedding. She is worried about this wedding remembering Sehreyar's threat. She doesn't know what Sehreyar is planning. The determination she has seen inside his eyes are scaring her too much.

On the other hand, Rehaan wanted a grand wedding but he didn't invite that much people because of Meher's request. She wanted a small ceremony with her family members. She didn't say anything to her brothers about Sehreyar thinking that it might make them worry too much. Her brothers are busy with wedding preparation and too much happy for Meher. Finally, their sister is going to be settled in her life. Haniya is also very happy for Meher and promised her that she is going to give her the best wedding gift. Meher is wondering what can be that gift.

Rehaan has appointed guards for Meher's safety who are continuously keeping their watch on Meher so that Sehreyar can't harm her. Meher is unaware of this fact that Rehaan has appointed guards for her.

" I am not feeling like to go," Meher replied to Kamla Masi.

Kamla masi said pulling Meher's hand," let's go to a beauty salon. You need a proper makeover. Just look at yourself. You are looking like you are going to attend any kind of funeral, not your wedding."

Kamla Masi said the last part sarcastically and Meher just let out small laughter.

" Mamma, take me too with you," Mehrab said nagging.

Kamla Masi said to Mehrab affectionately," Play with your Shruti didi for some time. We will be back in hours."

" No, I want to go with Mamma. I want to protect mamma from that bad giant," Mehrab said resting his head on Meher's chest.

Kamla masi asked Meher confusingly," Bad giant? What's he talking about?"

" Umm...nothing. Don't take his words seriously. He is just a kid," Meher said in one go.

Meher tried to convince Mehrab but he started crying very badly. He is not ready to leave his mother even for a second.

" Aren't you a good boy? Be with your shruti didi for some time. We will bring chocolates for you," Kamla masi tried to lure Mehrab.

Mehrab replied screaming," I don't want chocolates. I want to be with mamma."

Meher cooed in Mehrab's ear to calm him down and said to Kamla masi," It's ok, Masi. Let's take him also."

After one hour

Meher is sitting in front of the mirror and a girl is washing Meher's feet and preparing for a pedicure.

Mehrab is sitting on his mother's lap and sucking a lollipop. Kamla masi is also here and she is sitting in the waiting room. She tried to keep Mehrab with her but that little boy isn't in the mood to leave his mother even for a second.

" Mam, you are looking tired and thirsty too. Have this drink," an employee said with a smile forwarding a glass of juice to Meher.

Meher replied politely," Oh. Thank you for offering. I am not thirsty."

" It's very refreshing. You will feel better," The employee said and insisted Meher to drink it.

Meher hesitated first but then took the glass thinking that she shouldn't hurt someone's genuine concern.

" Thank you," Meher said to the employee and started drinking the juice.

"The juice is indeed refreshing," Meher thought mentally and almost finished half of the juice.

Mehrab snatched the glass from his mother's hand and said sipping the juice," I am thirsty too."

Meher smiled seeing Mehrab and patted his small head affectionately.

But, after a few moments, Meher noticed that Mehrab has fallen asleep on her chest. He is in a deep sleep like he hasn't slept for years.

" Mehrab, baccha(kiddo). Are you ok?" Meher asked Mehrab worriedly shaking his small body but found no answer.

Suddenly, she also started feeling dizzy and her vision started getting blurry. Her head started spinning and she is seeing everything double.

" I think the drug has started working," That employee said who offered juice to Meher.

Meher asked the employee with her fluttering eyes," What you did to me?"

But, the employee didn't reply. Meher also noticed that the employee has called someone and said," The kid has also drunk the juice and he is also asleep. What I should do to him?"

" What you did to me and my son? Meher asked angrily but her voice came out faintly as she is sleepy.

After that, she couldn't see anything or hear anything and drift into a deep sleep.
