Mistress novel Chapter 50

Sehreyar's p.o.v

The moment Sajal pulled the trigger I thought that today is the last day of mine in this world. I was ready to take the bullet. But, I was a little bit relaxed thinking that Meher is fine. I thought that Sajal is here to harm Meher.

But, before the bullet could pierce through my heart, a person came in front of me suddenly. Everything happened so quickly that I became bewildered for some time.

The person was shot by Sajal and the person fell on the road. I yelled loudly at the top of my lungs," Dadi................."

Yes, the person is none other than my grandma. I thought she has left the city. I don't know from where she came and saved me.

" Dadi, why you did this? I asked her lifting up her head a little. I can see the blood running from her chest. I saw her teary eyes but satisfied face. I looked at Sajal and found her already dead.

Tears started flowing from my eyes. I know my grandma isn't a Saint. But, I can't just see her like that. She is the one who took care of me and Haniya while our parents left this world. She is the reason that I am now a successful person.

"S.....A....H....U....I.....am......not......a.....selfish......per....son....," She said with great difficulty and coughed blood.

I replied crying," Please, Dadi...Don't talk like that. I am sorry."

"I.....have.....always.....wanted......to...see.....your.....happiness...," She said while her breath is hitching and her eyes are almost shutting down.

I patted her head and said with my shaky voice," Just hang on, Dadi. I will not let anything happen to you. Please.........."

" I have called the ambulance already," I heard Meher's worried voice and she held my dadi's another hand.

I am still crying and praying for my grandma when Meher assured my Dadi saying," Mrs Seikh, please don't lose your consciousness. Everything will be fine. You will be fine."

" My...... time..... has.......come......" Dadi said coughing more blood and I just lost it.

I yelled at her crying like a small kid," Dadi.....please...don't talk like that. You are not going anywhere."

" Mrs Seikh, you will be fine. The ambulance will arrive. Please, be patient," Meher said consoling Dadi who is taking long breaths.

Right now, I am feeling the same pain that I felt while my parents left this world. I am feeling already empty. The only guardian I have is leaving this world, this thought is making me helpless.

"Sahu.....i...have....always......wanted....the....right...for....you.....don't....hate...me," Dadi said with great difficulty and I am now feeling guilty for misbehaving with her. I shouldn't have talked with her like that.

I said holding her bloodied hand tightly," I don't hate you. I can never hate you. I was just angry. Your Sahu can never get angry at you."

She didn't say anything to me. She looked at Meher who is already crying and looking at Dadi with pitiful eyes. It's clear that she is worried for Dadi. I also found guiltiness in her eyes.

"Meher, I am sorry.......ple.....ase.....take......care.....of....my.....Sa.........." Dadi couldn't complete her sentence when her hand fell from my hand. I saw her closing her eyes forever.

The moment her hand fell from my hand, I felt like the world around me has stopped. I became frozen in my place. I heard Meher is saying something but my mind became so blank that I am not hearing what's she saying. It didn't take much time for me to understand that my grandma has already left.

My grandma left me. The only Guardian I have has left me. I again become an orphan. First, my parents left me and now my grandma. Why Allah is snatching everyone for me? Just why?

" Dadi! Just why you saved me!!! I yelled loudly and hugged her body tightly. It's the third time I am crying like that. I cried like a crazy person for the first time while my parents died. The second was when I heard that Meher is no more. And the third one is now.

" Don't leave your Sahu. I beg you. Please, Dadi. Open your eyes," I said hugging her body tightly. I still can feel her blood on my chest.

I heard Meher's crying voice saying," Sehreyar, control yourself."

I replied with my teary eyes looking at Meher," She left me.....My only guardian left me alone."

Meher rested her one hand on my shoulder and tried to console me. But, nothing can soothe the pain which I am feeling now. I have just lost one of my precious persons.

" Dadi........." I yelled loudly looking at the sky while I heard Meher's crying voice and consoling words.

At Sehreyar's village home

Author's p.o.v

Sehreyar and his whole family have just finished the funeral of his grandma and Sajal. Meher and Adeel are also here consoling their spouse.

Everyone is now sitting in the hall room of the house wearing white colour dresses. The crying sound is echoing throughout the whole room.

Sehreyar is crying silently and his eyes are completely red due to excessive crying. Meher isn't leaving Sehreyar's hand even for a second. She is doing all this for the sake of humanity. Somewhat she is very guilty for falsely accusing Sehreyar's Dadi of hurting Mehrab.

On the other hand, Haniya is screaming like a crazy person. She is calling her Dadi repeatedly and searching for her. Her grandma's death has left a big scar on her heart. Adeel is trying his best to console Haniya. He is patting her back repeatedly to console her. He is now holding her in his embrace who is crying none stop.

Everyone is still crying when an angry middle-aged man entered the hall room. He is none other than Sajal's father Mr Abbas.

He looked at Sehreyar with his angry tearful eyes and marched towards him with full rage. He held Sehreyar's collar and stood him up on his feet. His action shocked everyone.

" You are the reason behind my daughter's death and my mother's death," Abbas screamed on Sehreyar's face.

Sehreyar didn't say anything because he is completely numb from inside. His Dadi's face is flashing in front of him repeatedly making him more helpless.

Abbas again barked on Sehreyar's face crying," My daughter only wanted your love. She had loved you truly. But, you are a monster who didn't value her true love. Everything happened because of you. I lost my only child because of you."

This time Meher couldn't control herself anymore. She forcefully freed Sehreyar from Abbas's clutch. She stood in front of Sehreyar like a shield.

" You can't just blame him for your daughter's one-sided love. Everything happened because of your daughter's immaturity. Sorry to say, but your daughter is responsible for her own death," Meher said to Abbas sternly and everyone looked at her with disbelief.

Especially, Sehreyar is amused and surprised seeing Meher's supporting side.

Abbas seethed at Meher," You don't have any right to talk between us."

" Of course, I have. I am Sehreyar's wife and I won't tolerate it if someone accuses my husband falsely," Meher replied directly.

Abbas tried to say something when Meher started saying," Everyone forced Sehreyar to marry Sajal where he wasn't ready for that marriage from the very first. He told many times that he doesn't love Sajal. But, still, everyone forced him into a loveless marriage. Your daughter's death is the result of her unhealthy obsession for Sehreyar. And somehow you are also responsible for your daughter's death. Even after knowing Sehreyar's feelings for your daughter, you decided to marry her off to him. What kind of father are you?"

" Mind your language," Abbas yelled on Meher so angrily like he will eat her alive anytime.

Meher replied without any fear," Truth always hurts. I will again tell you that your daughter is responsible for her own death and her grandma's death. Don't blame Sehreyar unnecessarily."

" You bi........." Abbas tried to say something when Sehreyar looked at him with his blank eyes and warned," You can say whatever you want to say about me. But, don't you dare to say anything to my wife."

Hearing Sehreyar, Abbas lost his full control over his anger and said loudly," I curse you Sehreyar. I curse you that you will never find true love. I hope a day will come when you will also crave for true love just the way my daughter craved for your love but you will not get it. I curse you."

Everyone became dumbfounded hearing Abbas's words. They are not understanding how they should react.

After Saying all these, Abbas left the room wiping his tears. He was very affectionate towards Sehreyar. But, after Sajal's divorce with Sehreyar, his relationship with Sehreyar became worst.

Sehreyar is now standing like a statue after hearing Abbas. He is now totally numb and looking at the door from where Abbas just left.

" Don't worry," Sehreyar heard Meher's soft consoling voice.

Sehreyar asked Meher without any emotion," Am I really responsible for everything?"

" No. You are not," Meher replied assuring Sehreyar.

But, Meher said mentally," yes, you are responsible for everything and you are going to be destroyed very soon."
