Third person p.o.v

" Did you get it?'' Jannat said in a hush tone .

Khalid shook his head " No , I have searched the whole room but I couldn't find that pendrive "

His words disappoint Jannat to the core " What the hell Khalid ! You promised to help and your promises are so big yet you couldn't do anything " she yelled frustrated .

Khalid was taken aback to see this side of Jannat .

Jannat realised her mistake , she quickly wrapped her arms around his waist " I am sorry baby , I am just scared of what might they do '' she snubbed .

Sighing heavily, Khalid caresses her hair .

" This is the last time " Humza glared at the man who had no remorse nor any fear.

" Tell . Your. Boss . Name " Humza bared his teeth .

" ##££ you " his voice was hard then he laughed his head back .

Humza punches him in anger .

" Did he say something? " Osman asked once Humza stepped out of the cell .

" No " Humza clenched his fist so tight that his knuckle turned white .

" Yeah but we are still not losing " Osman tried to motivate him.

" We have proof now , tomorrow is court hearing once court see the proof no one can save this ##### " He put hand on Hamza's shoulder .

Sayra put down her little daughter Shireen in the cribble , she stared at her angel face lovingly , " once you grow up , I will be the coolest mother for you '' she kissed her forehead and went back to her room , watching Humza sound asleep .

" Tomorrow is your big day , good luck " she kissed his cheek and went back to sleep not knowing that tomorrow a Storm will come destroying their life forever .

" Ready sir !'' Osman was standing beside Humza in the court waiting for the judge to come .

" Yeah ..." he showed the pendrive safely in his hand .

The moment the judge came in, the moment everybody stood up out of respect .

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Calling the case of the human trafficking .Are both sides ready?" Judge asked .

District Attorney: "Ready for the People, Your Honour."

Public Defender:" Ready for the defence, Your Honour"

The case was long for an hour .

Public lawyer " so Mr. Abdul Mallick , you have been charged for kidnapping innocent girls and trapping them in human trafficking "

" It's a false charge, your honour " Abdul defended himself .

" Mr. Humza Ahmed had some personal grudge with me, that's why , he was trying to accuse me of false allegations, " Abdul said confidently .

Humza chuckles knowing that he has proof at the end of the day , he is going behind the bars.

" That's a big statement , do you have proof? '' the lawyer asked .

" Yes, my wife, " he announced .

After a long statement and arguments finally the judge allowed the women to come .

A woman entered . Humza lowered his eyebrows recognising the girl .

His heart started beating fast, releasing a big trap that had been laid for them .

" Jannat," he whispered bitterly .

She came in front of the people, scared and terrified .

" Sir , this man Humza Ahmed has been stalking me for a long time. I told my husband that he was harassing me when he tried to complain about him to the police. This man made false allegations and put my husband behind the bars. '' She sob covered her mouth .

" She is lying in your honour " Humza slammed his hand on the table .

" Sir, I have pictures of him stalking me, " Jannat quickly said .

Humza closes his eyes realising how badly he got trapped .

Jannat showed pictures of Humza stalking her .

Humza was spying on her for a long time because he was suspicious about her being in that godown that day .

But she pulled the reverse card on him .

Damn smart women !

" What do you want to say Mr. Ahmed? " Judge asked .

" I have proof to your honour " he gave the pendrive to show the proof .

He waited patiently for the video to upload but it turned out to be some cheesy movie video .

Humza felt the floor sleep from his feet .....

"All the proof shows that Humza Ahmed the brave cop turned out to be misusing his post all along "

" The verdict of the court is that Hamza Khalid will be fired from his post and will be arrested for 3 years for harassing a woman "

" The court is adjourned " the tap wooden hammer ending the case .

Everybody started to leave , Humza sat on the table , speechless . The respect he earned all his life just vanished in seconds. He lost everything ..... He lost....

" Maryam ! Maryam !" Rabiya beat the door vigorously .

Maryam open the door in panic " what happen "

Rabiya was panting hard " swi- switch on the tv "

Hearing Rabiya voice Sayra switch on the tv .

" Hamza Ahmed the brave cop got arrested for harassing a woman " remote fell from Sayra hand .

" What's going on? " Khalid entered the room looking confused .

" Khalid ! Khalid !" Maryam weeps tugging at his shirt.

" The news are coming that first he harassed the women then put false allegation on her husband claiming that he was involved in human trafficking . He put a shameful mark in his department . Cops should be ashamed , round of applause to the judge who fired this shameful-" Khalid switched off the tv , breathing heavily .

" What have I done ! ''

" What have I done? " he raked his hand through his hair, desperate .

How his one mistake changed his family life .

He needs to talk to Jannat , he needs an answer for all of these ..

Knock

Knock

Knock

"Yes ?" A stranger opens the door .

" Who are you ?" He frowned.

" Excuse me ? Who are you ?" The women ask with an attitude .

Khalid was running out of patience " Jannat , where is Jannat ?''

" Jannat , she doesn't live here " The women was about to close the door when -

" No wait ! She has been staying here for months , what are you talking about " his heart was trembling , he couldn't understand what's happening .

Where is Jannat , why she lied that Humza was stalking her .

" Look , the girl who lives here was Afsana , she left yesterday, " the woman said. Khalid stepped back, his feet trembling , his leg felt so weak , he fell on the floor with a thud .

" See this is my parents house ... I hope one day , they accept me '' her low voice range inside his head .

" Her parents' house .." he whispered ..

" Her parents house " he quickly got up running like his life depended on it.

Khalid stops in front of the house panting hard .

Bang

Bang

" Yes " an old woman opened the door .

" Ma'am is Jannat his here , I mean Afsana ??"

The woman's face creased in confusion " who are you young man ?? What are you talking about "

" You daughter Jannat , I mean Afsana ," Khalid's voice brittle.

The old woman looked annoyed " Look young man , I have been living here for 25 years and I haven't met any Jannat or Afsana for that matter and I don't have a daughter alright , now go away " with that she slammed the door on his face .

He felt the whole world was spinning around him, grabbing hair in his fist , he screamed at the top of his lungs .

One by one he put all the dots together . He got betrayed , betrayed by the girl he fell in love with ....

Slumping his shoulder , he walked back to his house. For the first time the dark sky was resembling his life .

He was about to enter his house" Khalid ! Khalid !" Rabiya ran like a maniac toward him .

" Rabiya Aunty what happened, are you okay ??" She was panting hard .

" N- nafisa she went to her aunt's house two days back but they just called saying she didn't reach " she whimpered .

" I - I think they took her too " Rabiya cried , Sayra came out hearing Rabiya screaming .

" It's all your fault " Sayra glared at his brother ..

" Daisy, " he barely whispered .

Rabiya sat down holding her head crying .

Sayra turn to confront Khalid then she showed him something " who's watch is this "

His eyes widen realising that , in the time of stealing his watch feel near the closet .

He looked down ashamed .

Slap!

She held his collar in her fist " Why Khalid ! WHY !" She shook him vigorously sobbing hard .

" You ruined my life .... ! YOU RUINED MY LIFE " ....

Khalid woke up gasping for breath ....he looked around , a small blue dirty painted wall surrounding him. It looked like some jail. He tried to move only to notice that there was a big chain wrapping around his arms making it impossible for him to move .

Everything came back in a flash .... " Amira, " he whispered .

" AMIRA !" He shouted trying to get free .

"AMIRA "

" AHHHH...... " He tried the chain desperately with all his will power .

" Ohh.... Look who is here " he froze at the voice .

" Khalid Mirza " his name rolled out of her tongue like it was yesterday .

He didn't look up , he wanted to kill her in a snap .

" Imagining to kill me " she mocks holding the iron rod which was a barrier between them.

" Aww Khalid look up , I am dying to see your face " her sickly sweet was felt like acid in his ear .

Finally he looked with blazing glare " Jannat " he spat her name .

Her lip twitches into a sinister smile " one and only tsk " she wink .
