Mistress novel Chapter 37

Author's p.o.v

Sehreyar has opened his eyes feeling a sharp pain in his right shoulder because of the bullet wound. Otherwise, he is fine. The operation was successful.

After opening his eyes, the first word he took is Meher's name. He uttered softly," Meher.........Meher.........."

" Are you ok, bhaiya? Haniya asked worriedly.

Sehreyar just nodded his head in positive and again asked," Meher, where is she? I want to meet her."

" She is in somewhere else. In some better place. Away from your cage," Haniya replied sternly.

Haniya is very angry with Sehreyar for hurting Meher. She can't believe her brother made a teenager his mistress. She is too much upset and hurt about this matter.

Sehreyar eyes shot open and he asked Haniya knitting his brows," what are you talking about?

Sehreyar is thinking that Haniya doesn't know anything about his wrongdoing towards Meher. That's why he is surprised by hearing Haniya's words.

" Why did you destroy that poor girl's life, bhaiya? If you think that I don't know anything then you are wrong. I know everything about your injustice towards Meher," Haniya said with a disappointed tone.

Sehreyar asked Haniya angrily," From where you come to know about Meher? Did you go to meet that fucker? What lies he told you this time?"

" Wow! Aren't you a hypocrite, bhaiya? He is a fucker in your eyes. Then what are you? He is far better than you. At least he isn't a rapist like you," Haniya seethed at Sehreyar.

Sehreyar snapped at Haniya," Mind your language, Haniya. I am your elder brother. Whatever I have done is to give you justice."

"By raping and humiliating an innocent girl, you gave me justice! Just wow Bhaiya! Just wow," Haniya sarcastically said clapping.  She is too much upset that she isn't caring that her brother is in the hospital bed.

Sehreyar lowered his head and stayed silent. Because deep down in his heart he clearly knew that he is at fault. Meher was always innocent. His anger and thirst for revenge have destroyed Meher's life.

" Everything is very complicated. You don't have to put your leg in my business. I need to find Meher," Sehreyar said and tried to come out of the bed but couldn't as he is still very weak.

This time Haniya couldn't control her anger anymore and said," Khuda ki vasstee ush bechari ko app akela chor dijiye(For Allah's sake leave that girl alone.) Let her lead her life peacefully."

" Woh sirf meri hey(She is only mine). I will mar.........." Sehreyar tried to say but couldn't complete his sentence because of Haniya's interruption.

Haniya snapped at Sehreyar," She isn't a property that you can claim her as yours.  Aur aap saheyed bhul rahi hey ki aap shadi shuda hey ( And you are forgetting that you are already married)."

" I never accepted that trashy so don't remind me of that," Sehreyar replied with his cold voice.

Haniya took a deep breath and sat beside Sehreyar. She is understanding her brother's obsession for Meher which isn't good. She remembered Meher's request and made her mind to make Sehreyar understand that he needs to let go of Meher.

" Agar aap ki andar thodi si bhi insaniyat bacha hey tu ush bechari ko jaane dijiye. Ushke piche firshe mat jayei. Woh aapse nafrat karti hey. Samajhne ki kowshish kijiye. Apki wajah set du aworti ki zindagi barbad ho rahi hey. Ek Meher ki, dushri Sajal bhabhi ki ( If there is a little humanity left inside you then let her go. Don't run after her. She hates you. Try to understand. Because of you, two women's lives are being destroyed. One is Meher and another is Sajal bhabhi)," Haniya said to Sehreyar resting her one hand on his shoulder.

Sehreyar heard Haniya's every word carefully but said nothing. He is unusually calm but his eyes are looking dark.

" Don't give lectures to me. I know very well what I should do," Sehreyar said looking outside through the window.

Sehreyar said mentally like a complete psycho," Meher belongs to me and I am going to make her mine anyhow. She will love me just the way I have loved her. If it takes to force her then I will gladly do that."

Haniya is going to say something again when Sehreyar's Dadi entered the cabin with her crying face.

" Sahu........" She screamed and hugged Sehreyar tightly who is lost in Meher's thought.

Meher's p.o.v

I came back to my apartment with Mehrab in my arms. He is very tired and hungry too. I can hear his stomach grumbling sound.

I took a bath as I was too much tired. I need to return to Bhopal. I can't risk Mehrab's life again. I will talk to the company authority and give my resignation letter. In front of my child's safety, this job is nothing.

I showered Mehrab as well and put on a soft cotton baby dress on him. He is looking too cute.

I heated the food items and placed them on the dining table. Mehrab is now in my lap and playing with a toy.

" Mamma, that aunty was very good," Mehrab said while chewing the food which I am feeding him.

He must be talking about Haniya Ji. Indeed she is a good woman. I can't believe she is Sehreyar's sister. How can she be that monster's sister? She is too much humble and kind. The way she talked with me touched my heart.

I tried to feed another spoonful of food to Mehrab when he said with a scared voice, "Mamma, I am scared?"

" What's scaring my Mehrab baby? What happened mera baccha(my child)?" I asked him affectionately.

He said clutching me tightly," Mamma, that bad giant. What if he again comes and scolds you and me!"

" He will not again come and bother us," I said to him and finished feeding him.

Then, Mehrab asked me curiously," Mamma, why is that man very bad? Why he scolded you that day?"

" He isn't bad. He is just stupid," I said to Mehrab patting his head and blissfully looked outside.

But, I am not understanding one thing about Sehreyar. Why he saved Mehrab? He was fuming in rage thinking that Mehrab is another man's baby. I can't forget the hatred I have seen in his eyes for my son.

Then, what happened to him suddenly that he took a bullet for Mehrab?  Did he come to know everything about Mehrab's identity? Does he know that Mehrab is his son? Will he try to take away Mehrab from me?

These questions are roaming inside my head like bugs and I am feeling too much worried. Whatever will happen, I will not give my son to anyone. He is my everything.
