Shahnoor's POV:-

I walked inside with ammi, everyone looked at me and was muttering something to each other. I don't care, this doesn't matter. What matters thr most to me was my sister's life but I couldn't able save it. I need to have sabr. Allah will bring everything to right path.. Inshallah.

We walked directly to the reception area.

"Hello ma'am, how can I help you?" The receptionist asked.

"Is there any room booked on my name shahnoor khan?" I asked nervously.

"Wait, let me check."She saud as she started typing on the computer.

"Shahnoor khan right?"She asked and I nodded.

"Your luggage was already sent in your room, here is your key and it is room no. 201" She informed me while handling the card key. I was little confused about my luggage.

"Amm...Excuse me, who sent my luggage in the room?" I asked.

"That, Mr.Akib faruqui sent it."She said and don't know why but just hearing his name makes my heart flutter.

I nodded and turned around just to make my eyes search for his presence. Ah! Why am I still thinking about him? After knowing what he did. I walked towards the stairs, on the way my eyes and body froze by the sight of the beautiful orbs that I adore and love with my life. His eyes were red and puffy, did he cried? Why? His plan succeed now what?

I averted my gaze and look in front, than started climbing the stairs while ignoring the presence of him. Although my eyes were pleading to look back but No! I will not allow him to hurt me. On the second floor at the very last I saw room no. 201. That's my room! I walked further and swipe my keycard. As I opened the door, I froze. The room took my sight bewildered.

It has the mixture of off-white colour and red for highlights. To my left there is a big wooden cupboard which has many drawers, joining it with small table again containing drawers and on top of that there is frame which doesn't have any particular painting just simple white and red square. The floor on halfway has brown and white Diamond design than the halfway contains a carpet of different colour straps and shapes. The ceiling was coloured in red with white fan and corners of ceiling has random designs. The bed was simple with wooden headboard and was set in jaipur style with long round pillows. In front of bed, a long table and there is a plazma TV fixed on the wall.

The room is expensive as I can say by the looks and furniture.

The translation of the adhan is:

God is Great! God is Great! God is Great! God is Great!

I bear witness that there is no god except the One God.

I bear witness that there is no god except the One God.

I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.

I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.

Hurry to the prayer. Hurry to the prayer.

Hurry to salvation. Hurry to salvation.

God is Great! God is Great!

There is no god except the One God.

I heard the sound of Adhan, I look at my watch. I was still in my niqab. I saw my luggage and went towards it, I took my keys from my purse and opened my suitcase than took out my clothes. I went in the bathroom and strip my clothes while saying,

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

"In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful".

After the warm and relaxing shower, I wore my loose Pakistani kurta (top) which is cream coloured with embroidery designs on the edges and white leggings.

I did my ablution and went in the room, I took my dupatta that was kept on bed and wrapped it as a hijab. Suddenly I hear the sound of the door opening, I turned to see and immediately regret to find him in front of me.

"Why is she here?" Rehmat aunty asked while coming from behind with Farah.

Akib set the bags which belongs to farah, I knew because I have packed them. There is her makeup and jewelries in it.

"Farah and shahnoor will live in one room ma'am." Akib said and aunty frowned.

"WHAT?!"She shouted.

"I will not let my daughter stay with this girl."She continued and tears formed in my eyes.

Farah clutched her mother's arm, signaling her not to say anything further.

"But Shahzaib bhai booked only one room for both of them and there is no extra room available for now."Akib inform.

"I don't care, If there is no extra room available. Farah will stay in this room and you,"Rehmat aunty said and clutched my left arm than started dragging me towards the door.

"You will not stay here and you too don't want to attend this wedding, than why staying here?"She continued, I hissed in pain while her nails digged in my arms.

"Aa-aunty please, Mmy arm it-its hurting."I pleaded while crying.

"what are you doing ma'am? Leave her."I hear akib saying.

"Ammi leave her please." Farah said but she didn't stop.

Rehmat aunty glared at farah and she looked towards me with sympathy.

I didn't get the time to registered everything when Rehmat aunty forcefully pushed me towards the door. I stumbled on my feet and was about to fall down but instead glt caged in strong arms, my eyes were tightly closed as my head rest on the hard chest.

I slowly opened my eyes to meet the one and only person whom I never wanted to see. His left arm was wrapped around my back and right one was holding my left arm. He was looking at me with concern?

To be continued...
