Author's p.o.v
Sehreyar and Meher have returned to India after they visited Spain. Well, after Meher's kidnapping.
Sehreyar is happy that finally, Meher is with him and Meher is happy that she has returned to India. Now, she can meet her family members.
She never wanted to give any chance to Sehreyar but his guilty words touched her heart and she decided to give him the last chance.
Sehreyar and Meher have entered Sehreyar's house. Mehrab is in deep sleep in his mother's embrace. The long journey from Spain to India has exhausted him.
Sehreyar and Meher are passing the hall room area when they heard a clapping sound.
Both looked forward and found that Sehreyar's Dadi is sitting on the couch and she is clapping her hands. She is mocking Sehreyar by her clapping.
"Woah!!!!!!! Bhai dushman ki behen sey shadi kar leta hey aur behen dushman sey hi shadi kar liya( Wow!!! Brother has married enemy's sister and sister has married the enemy)," Sehreyar's dadi said sarcastically. It's not unknown to her that her grandson has married Meher.
Meher didn't understand what's Sehreyar's dadi talking about. She is just looking at this old woman suspiciously. She understood that she needs to be careful of this old witch.
" What are you talking about?" Sehreyar asked his Dadi confusingly. His voice is extremely cold as he knew his grandma's intention towards Meher very well.
Sehreyar's Dadi let out a burst of sarcastic laughter and replied glaring at Meher," While you were enjoying your time with your whore...........
" Mind your language, Dadi. She is my wife," Sehreyar growled and Sehreyar's Dadi zipped her mouth.
Sehreyar called a maid and ordered her to take Meher and his son to his room. He doesn't want to disturb Meher and his son with his grandma's rubbish talking after an exhausting journey.
The maid obliged him and took Meher to Sehreyar's room. Before leaving the place Meher gave a disgusted look to Sehreyar's dadi which wasn't unnoticed by her. Sehreyar's Dadi also gave her a dangerous look.
" What were you talking about Haniya? What happened to her? Is she fine? Sehreyar asked his grandma worriedly.
Sehreyar's Dadi made a disappointed face and replied," Haniya has taken out Adeel from jail and she has married him as well."
" What? Sehreyar uttered with too much shock. He was so busy in Spain with Meher that he didn't bother to check what's going on in India behind his back. His whole concentration was on Meher.
Sehreyar's Dadi also informed," Not only that. She has taken the property papers which belongs to 'Khan corporation' and has given back the company to Adeel."
"Without my permission how can she do that? From where she found all the papers and without my sign how can she return Adeel's company? Moreover, Did she just forget what Adeel has done with her? Sehreyar asked angrily and threw away a vase out of anger. He is literally seeing everything red.
Sehreyar's Dadi informed him," She took the help of home minister for Adeel's bail and she copied your signature in returning Adeel's company."
" This girl has crossed her limits. She has again disobeyed me for that bastard. She forgot so easily what that fucker did with her," Sehreyar said clenching his jaw and fist tightly.
This time Sehreyar's Dadi said becoming more disappointed," You both have become crazy. One is crazy for the person who is the reason behind her misery and another one is crazy for..........
She couldn't complete her sentence when Sehreyar yelled," Where is Haniya?"
" It's been days since she is living with Adeel," Sehreyar's dadi informed and Sehreyar lost control over his anger.
He said to his grandma," I want to meet that fool right now."
***************************************
After an hour
Haniya is standing in front of Sehreyar lowering her head. She is ready to face her brother's wrath.
Sehreyar ordered her angrily," Look at me."
Haniya is still lowering her head when Sehreyar seethed," Look at me."
Haniya looked at her brother coldly and Sehreyar asked," Will you explain everything?"
" Bhaiya, the past is gone. I want to start everything afresh that's why I did all this," Haniya replied without any fear.
Sehreyar asked her gritting his teeth," And you forget everything so easily! You forgot how he killed your child. You forgot how he played with your emotions!! You forgave him so easily. You are again fooled by him."
This time Haniya couldn't control herself anymore and snapped at her brother," Whatever Adeel has done I didn't forget anything. I forgave him because he deserves a chance. He was guilty beyond the level for whatever he did. He was punished for his sins. Everybody deserves a second chance if he is truly guilty."
" Haniya...........Sehreyar raised his one hand to slap her but stopped in the middle. He is looking at her with a killer look. Haniya just looked at her brother with astonishing eyes.
Then, Haniya said taunting Sehreyar," You are becoming angry about my decision. Have you ever thought about yourself? Huh!! Have you forgotten what you did with Adeel's sister? At least Adeel didn't rape me nor he made me his mistress."
Sehreyar clenched his jaw after hearing her. He fisted his palm and closed his eyes to control his anger. He is literally feeling like to destroy everything.
Sehreyar opened his eyes and going to say something when a punch landed on his face from nowhere. He lost his balance and fell on the nearby couch.
Sehreyar looked at the person and the person is none other than Adeel. He has just come and seeing Sehreyar he lost his control over his anger.
Sehreyar is still in his bewildered state when Adeel asked him punching repeatedly," Where is my sister? I know you have done something with her."
" Please, stop it. Adeel, don't hurt my brother," Haniya said pulling Adeel in backwards.
Adeel left Sehreyar but still, he is shooting daggers at Sehreyar by his eyes. His hands are itching to kill Sehreyar right now. Adeel freed himself from Haniya's grip and held Sehreyar's collar.
" Where is my sister? Adeel again asked and raised his hand to punch Sehreyar again.
But, before the punch could lend on Sehreyar's face, a soft hand stopped the hand. Adeel looked at the hand and found that it's none other than his sister Meher.
Adeel immediately left Sehreyar and a big smile formed on his lips.
Adeel exclaimed with too much happiness," Meher!! My sister! Where were you? Do you have any idea how much worried I was for you?"
Saying all this, Adeel is going to hug Meher when she opened her mouth saying," Bhaiya, you didn't do the right thing by hurting my husband."
" Husband? Haniya and Adeel both said with utter shock.
This time Sehreyar said proudly holding Meher's waist tightly," Yes, we are married. We married each other urgently that's why we couldn't invite you."
