All night sleeping profoundly, she woke up with birds chirping. Her head is aching badly with pain. Her puffy eyes and miserable state made her look quite sympathetic.
At first, she can't comprehend where she is, and why?
But after some moments when she comes to her senses, she remembers that she has been kidnapped on her way back to university, but why.....?
"I never did anything bad to anyone that someone will take revenge from me, my father, Colonel Khalid Shah Rehmani, is a reputable man of a city, he doesn't have any enemy, in fact, he always helps those who are in trouble, he never becomes envious from anyone, and.......and, my brother, Zeeshan Rehmani....he never thinks of doing anything other than his business, he never pays a heed to other things, then....then why I have been taken here, it's....maybe it's because of some misunderstanding..."
She holds her dizzy head in both hands while thinking for a while.
"Ufff......how my Papa will be after I do not return home? and.....and Zeeshan Bhai
brother
...how much he will be depressed because of me...how he will take care of Papa?....how he will have to console him...? while he seems to be depressed now....Ooh my God, what should I do know...."
She is thinking incessantly. She gasped at her helpless state.
The day is becoming brighter now. Green trees and the chirping of birds have led her to know that she has been entrapped somewhere in a jungle or farmhouse.
After she stops crying, she hardly takes herself to the only window that is in the room.
Greenery is visible at a long distance. Trees are standing in line and the chirping of birds on top of that has made the environment delightful.
There is no sign of any building at a long distance. Most probably it's been a part of the farmhouse.
As the time was passing, she feels suffocating here. It's all taking on her nerves.
At that instant, the door is opened with a huge thud and someone enters with a dangerous sullen look, and red eyes come to her. Hoor UL Ain can't recognize him.
But still, she becomes scared after looking at his state.
He comes near her, and slapped her harshly on her delicate cheek, and barked at her.
"You worthless girl....my home is in turmoil. My dad.....he is in I.C.U. And that all happens because of your bastard brother, who entrapped my sister and elopes her on her very nikkah
engagement
day. But remember...if something happens to my dad just because of your bastard brother's cheap act, then I will bring on such cruelty that you can't evade till your breath..."
No wonder how red his eyes were, his accent speaks his more seriousness.
For a moment, she can't comprehend what is he saying. But after some time she comes to know what he is the meaning of his saying, she becomes startled. She is already not in her proper senses and on top of that his harsh slap has awakened her to the core.
And now his cheap accusation....which has made her restless.
"Shut up....how dare you to bad mouth my brother's fair character....my brother gives a lot of respect to women....he can't even think of it, let alone do it..."
Due to the impact of the slap, her lip is injured, which she rubs with her left hand and shouts at him.
On that, this young, good-looking man again raises his hand and leaves deep imprints on Hoor's face.
"For now, just pray for my father's well-being, because till he is alive, I will behave like a man. God forbid, if something happens to him then you will see how I will make you a living lesson for your brother, who after tarnishing our image has made our home a living hell..."
He is uttering fire from his mouth. He seems to be so depressed now that Hoor can't stop herself from looking at him.
His reddish-brown eyes and his strained muscles speak volumes of how miserable a state he is in.
At that time, his mobile ranged and his attention diverted to it.
"Hello, Shanzal Ali Shah speaking...." after he picks up the phone, he turns his head away.
"What....Mm....I'm coming now..."
Don't know what was said from another side making his forehead wrinkle due to tension.
Again, he turns towards her with a threatening look and caught her long, silky hair painfully in his grasp, and told her harshly.
"My Dad's condition is again critical, remember, if something happens to him, then I will take its revenge from you that will make your bastard brother and old father's life dangerous...."
His tone was so cold at that time that Hoor felt a deep sensation in her bones.
However, before she takes a hold of herself, he harshly pushes her back and hurriedly came out of the room.
********
Her tears were flowing nonstop. She was sobbing.
Worried faces of Colonel Khalid Shah Rehmani and Zeeshan Rehmani were coming into her mind again and again.
Due to thirst, her lips were become dry. She has not eaten anything in college and comes out of college hungry and thirsty. But when did she know that she is going to be kidnapped?
And the kidnapper will be such a cruel man that he will keep her hungry and thirsty. Due to thirst, her throat was getting dry.
But there was not any indication of water or something to eat in the room. Due to her miserable state, she again started crying.
Don't know how long she will be imprisoned here. Sixteen hours have passed since she has been kidnapped. And this cruel man has been nowhere.
It was getting dark outside, when she realized her loneliness she started shivering and no one was there to console her.
Don't know what her father's condition will be due to her prolonged absence. He is already a heart patient that's why they always take a lot of care of him.
In actuality, there is no kind person other than her father in this world.
She lost her mother's love when she was only eleven years old. After that, it is only her father who gives his full attention to the upbringing of both brother and sister. Even though she was also very dear to her brother, she was very close to her father.
She can't forget her mother. After her mother's death, there was a great void in her life and it remain unfilled. She was reminiscing her past and crying silently, while also praying for the well-being of the kidnapper's father.
Once again the door was opened harshly, and he enters the room taking lazy steps. His eyes were red, and his wet eyelashes are evidence of the fact he had cried for some time.
Hoor ul Ain wants to request him to let her go. But the harshness on his face has made her lips tighten and scared her.
There was something in his reddish eyes that she can't look into his eyes for a long time. Putting both of his hands in his jean pockets, he came to the side of the window.
Nothing was said for some moments. While in that moment neither Hoor ul Ain dare to utter something nor did he say a word.
"What's wrong I did with you that you have been torturing me, for God's sake leave, I will never forget your favor, please..."
She finally pleaded to him with teary eyes. But he grabbed her silky hair in his tight grasp and said.
"Don't show me your crocodile tears, it's not impacting me, good man inside of me died a long time ago, the man who is standing in front of you is a stone made, a deaf stone, no matter how many times you beat your head with it, you will be at loss, what's wrong my dad and I did with you? nothing....but still I am suffering, and my dad.....my dad lost his life, turning someone else life into miserable, how you people can remain happy.....?"He was not in his senses.
She can't endure his craziness anymore, so she remains silent.
The room has been cold and she has not a single shawl with her.
"Tomorrow I am going to send some of your obscene pictures to your brother. And from next week, you will not get anything other than water for eating and drinking. You will daily clean the stable of the horses, you will feed them, and at night you will spend your night sitting in the corner of this room. Meanwhile, if you try to disobey me then I will not take a minute in beating you with the belt till your skin is not ripped apart. Get this in your thick skull, this farm is far away from the city. No one here is going to listen to you other than God. If you want yourself alive then do what I say. Otherwise, you know the consequences...." He was saying in a cold tone.
She sobbed on it.
"Have some fear of God, Shanzal Ali Shah, just choke my throat and say to my brother that you have taken your revenge...."
She feels crying, while he give a glimpse to her sad face and said in a sarcastic tone.
"I will not let you die so easily, Hoor ul Ain, you will beg for death, the fire your brother has provoked inside me is not going to end any time soon..."
Before he can do something, Hoor ul Ain lost consciousness and fell into his arms.
