Mistress novel Chapter 52

Author's p.o.v

Meher is sitting in front of the mirror and a beautician is doing makeup on her face. Today is her wedding with Sehreyar.

Sehreyar is super excited about this wedding. This wedding is going to be grand. He has invited many reputable people to his wedding. He wants to share this happiness with everyone. Even the media is also here to cover his wedding ceremony. After all, it's the wedding ceremony of the number one businessman.

Meher is looking at the mirror with her void eyes. There is no happiness or spark in her eyes.

" Mam, you are looking fabulous," The beautification complimented her and finished doing her job.

Meher stood up and looked at her dolled up reflection. She is looking marvellous in her red colour lehenga and beautiful jewellery.  She smiled a little bit looking at her reflection.

" you did a good job," Meher praised the beautification having a smirk on her face.

The beautification is going to say something when a person entered the room hurriedly. Meher looked at the door and found that Adeel has entered the room having a serious expression on his face. 

Meher gestured the beautician to leave the room and she obliged Meher immediately.

" Where is Mehrab? Is he fine?" Meher asked Adeel.

Adeel replied assuring her," He is fine. Don't worry. He is with Haniya."

Meher didn't say anything further. She just hummed a little bit and started fixing her veil.

" Are you sure about this marriage?" Adeel asked Meher. A disturbed expression clouded his whole face thinking that Meher is going to marry Sehreyar.

Meher chuckled and said," Yes, why are you asking like that."

" I still think that you shouldn't marry a person like Sehreyar. He isn't the right man for you," Adeel tried to convince Meher. 

Meher only smiled and replied assuring her brother," What is right and wrong. You will come to know very soon.  Just be patient a little."

Adeel asked suspiciously curling his brows a little," Are you ok, Meher? Since you have returned with Sehreyar, you are talking suspiciously. Are you hiding something from me?"

Meher started laughing after hearing her brother while Adeel is still looking at her suspiciously.

" Bhaiya, just wait for a few moments. Everything will be cleared like water," Meher replied controlling her laugh.

Before Adeel could say anything further, Meher said to him holding his arms tightly," Aren't you here to take me to the aisle? Then, why are we being late? Let's go."

Excitement is clearly audible in her voice. She is now continuously smiling having a satisfied look on her face.

Adeel didn't say anything further and decided to follow his sister's words. He is sure that Meher is hiding something which she doesn't want to share with him. He also didn't force her to say anything.

Adeel and Meher are now going towards the car while Meher thought mentally," Just wait a little bit for your grand destruction Mr Sehreyar Al Seikh."

***************************************

After one hour

Sehreyar is sitting on a luxurious couch wearing a sherwani. He is looking like the perfect bridegroom in his cream colour sherwani which is adorned with little pearls. The turban on his head is giving him a perfect royal look.

On the other hand, Meher is sitting at opposite of Sehreyar lowering her head a little. There is a thin cloth between the bride and bridegroom. Mehrab and Haniya's daughter Husna are with a maid who is taking care of them.

The moulvi(priest) is reciting some important sentences for the well being of the couple. Sehreyar is becoming impatient to see Meher. Only Meher isn't affected by anything. Everyone is in the ceremony except Asif. He has gone somewhere and hasn't returned yet.

The moulvi asked about Sehreyar's consent about this marriage which he gave gladly without any delay.

Then, the moulvi asked about Meher's consent about the marriage which she didn't give so early. She is taking some time like she is waiting for someone.

Haniya rested her one hand on Meher's shoulder indicating her to give the consent. Meher took a deep breath and going to say something when a male voice echoed through the hall room.

" Stop this nonsense," The voice said and came forward.

Everyone looked at the owner of the voice and found Asif. He is here with some policeman. An inspector is also with him. Asif came forward to Sehreyar's direction.

Everyone is looking at Asif with their shocked eyes as he is here with the police. Only Meher is neutral seeing the police here.

Asif said Sehreyar with his angry voice and clenched jaw," This marriage can't happen."

This time Adeel came forward and asked Asif confusingly," What are you talking about? Where were you and why is the police here?"

" Saale shab(brother-in-law), what's the meaning of all this? I don't like jokes in serious moments," Sehreyar asked Asif raising his one brow before Asif could answer his brother.

Asif only smirked hearing Sehreyar while the inspector said," Let me tell you everything, Mr Seikh. The thing is you are under arrest."

These words rolled out from the inspector's mouth and many cameras started flashing in unison taking pictures of the whole situation. The media has now found a piece of hot news to publish. The police are going to arrest Sehreyar Al Seikh!! What can be more spicy news than this!!

" And in charge of which crime?" Sehreyar asked the inspector with his pissed off voice.

This time, Asif opened his mouth and said taunting Sehreyar," Ask him, in charge of how many crimes?"

Sehreyar only glared at Asif when  the inspector chuckled and started saying," In charge of fraud, producing fake products and fooling the innocent people and for doing illegal dug businesses."

Sehreyar just lost his control over his anger and asked the inspector angrily, "Do you have any prove and arrest warrant? Or, you are just bubbling some nonsense".

" My sister isn't in the condition to talk. So, kindly don't bother her," Asif said holding Meher in his embrace.

He took his sister to another private room to avoid any kind of rubbish questioning of the reporters. 

Meher's p.o.v

I am standing at the edge of the bed with Mehrab in my arms. He is sleeping peacefully which is a good thing. I don't want him to see all the chaos which happened a few moments ago.

Haniya Ji is sleeping on the bed where bhaiya is holding her hands tightly. He is looking too worried. A few moments ago, a doctor checked Haniya Ji and told us that nothing serious. She will be fine.

" So, you were planning to expose him and Asif helped you in everything?" Bhaiya asked me directly.

I replied looking at Asif who is looking at me with his satisfied expression," Yes, finally, I have found justice."

" I don't know what I should say about all this. I just wonder how the table turned suddenly. Once I was in the same position in which Sehreyar is now," Bhaiya said taking a deep breath.

I chuckled hearing him and said proudly," It's Karma, bhaiya. As you sow, so you reap."

" I am proud of you, Api," Asif said resting his one hand on my shoulder and smiled.

Bhaiya only hummed and said worriedly," I just hope Haniya is fine."

" Don't worry. She will be fine," I said assuring him.

He is going to say something when I heard Haniya Ji's voice. She said with her weak voice," Can you just forgive my brother?"

We all looked at her and found her looking at me with her worried pitiful eyes. She has just woken up.

" Haniya, are you ok? Bhaiya asked her worriedly but she just ignored him.

She looked at me and again said," Meher, I know that my brother has done many wrongdoings towards you. Can't you just forgive him and let everything go just the way I forgave your brother?"

A sad smiled formed on my lips hearing her. I can't believe she is taking her monster brother's side.

" My brother was guilty of whatever he did. But, your brother wasn't guilty even an ounce for whatever he did with me. My brother asked for your forgiveness for countless time. But, your brother never asked for proper forgiveness. Moreover, my brother didn't rape you. But, your brother raped me several times. Now, you tell me, how can I forgive a person like him? I asked her directly whatever I felt. I felt like my eyes are getting heavy due to unshed tears. I remembered all those humiliating memories again.

Hearing me, I saw her lowering her head in shame.  I am sure she has lost her words to say something.

Then I said to her almost crying," You were my brother's wife. Not his mistress. My brother never treated you like an animal. But, your brother treated me like an animal and chained me to have my submission. Sorry to say, I can't forgive that man ever."

Saying all these I came out of the room hurriedly. I just don't want to talk about that man again. He is a black chapter in my life that is closed now.
