At Morning
Meher's p.o.v
I wake up from my sleep and felt that someone is hugging me from behind. It's none other than him. It's Sehreyar Sir.
He is sleeping resting his face in the crook of my neck. He has rested his one hand on my stomach. I can easily say that he is sleeping peacefully.
Last night what happened to him that he became so generous. He didn't force me to have sex with me. I am really grateful for that.
I tried to come out from his grip but he is hugging me very tightly. I touched his hand and something metallic touched my skin. I looked at his hand and the metallic thing was his engagement ring.
I don't know why I felt very bad after seeing the engagement ring. I felt that my eyes are becoming blurry due to tears.
What's this feeling? I shouldn't have felt like that. But, still, why did I feel very sad. He is not my lover nor my husband. Nor I love him and nor he loves me. Then, why I am feeling too much hurt?
Looking at the ring I remembered everything. I remembered what happened 7 months ago with me and my family. I remembered how I became his mistress.
Flashback from 7 months ago
I am at my school's graduation party. Today I have completed my high school with the highest grade. I am very happy about everything. I can't wait to share my feelings with my brothers.
I am very busy with my friends making fun with them.
Suddenly, my friend Neha said to me," Meher, after this party you have to come with me to my house. We are going to have a girl's party there. My parents are out of town. So, I am at home alone. It will be too much fun. I have told Pritika and Tanvi as well."
" ok. I will attend the party after changing my clothes in my house," I replied sipping the orange juice.
Neha said pouting," Come on yarr( friend). You don't have to change your clothes. We are directly going to my house."
Seeing her pouting I couldn't refuse her and said that I will come with her.
After the graduation party, we went to Neha's house for a party.
Neha is now busy decorating her room with some dark lighting. Pritika and Tanvi is also helping her. I also helped them.
I was feeling a little bit bored. So, I thought to watch TV for some time. I took the remote in my hand and started watching TV.
I am changing the channel when a news channel caught my attention.
I heard the reporter saying," A few moments ago police have arrested the famous billionaire Adeel Ahmed Khan in charge of murder."
Hearing the news the remote fell from my hand and my eyes became widened in too much shock. My brother is a murderer!! No, that's not possible.
I heard the reporter again saying," Adeel Ahmed Khan is arrested by police in the accusation of murdering another businessman Amir Al Saad."
Then the reporter again said," Adeel Ahmed Khan is taken to police custody. Currently, he is in central jail. Very soon his trial will be started."
Hearing all this I became numb for some time. This is not true. My brother can't do all this. My brother can't be a murderer.
I stood up from the couch and run towards the main door to leave Neha's house. I heard her calling my name but I didn't listen to her.
Coming out of her house I took a taxi and started my journey to the police station.
After 30 minutes car ride I reached there and requested the inspector to let me meet my brother.
The inspector permitted me and took me to the jail room where my brother was taken.
I saw him sitting on a bench lowering his head. I said crying," Adeel Bhaiya!"

He looked at me and said worriedly," Meher, what are you doing here?"
I hold his hand and said crying," Bhaiya, what's happening? I saw the news on TV. I know you didn't do anything."
He caressed my cheek and said affectionately," Don't worry. I will come out of jail very soon because I am innocent. I didn't do anything wrong."
