Advertisement
It has been a week since the wedding and my unfortunate incident. ahaya smiles at me occasionally but I ignore knowing that if I do, I will loose myself to her. Kadeer, much to my headache, is living with us until i don't know.
"Give me that will you!" screamed Ash as Ahaya ran up with her jar of Nutella. I must say, that girl has taste.
"NO!" screamed back Ahaya.
'NAQEEBAH AHAYA LUQMAAN! You better be good at running!" screamed Ash as she took off after her. We were in the garden outside and they were chasing each other. I laughed at them. Then it hit me.
Naqeebah!
My eyes shot up to her. Kadeer came and set by me. I scowled
"Pretty, isn't she?" he asked me.
I scoffed
"Oh don't lie Arshad..... you did like her! Her eyes, her smile, her laughs and that body-" he stated but I cut him off before he could proceed to all those dirty things about her and I make him my living punching bag.
'DON'T EVEN GO THERE!" I growled and I got up to leave.
"So you want to see her die?" he asked me
I stopped dead on my tracks. I turned to face him.
"Yes.. yes all that crap you are thinking" said Kadeer "I just married her for a reason...."
"What would that be?" I asked him
"Find out.. oh and don't forget to call Lia" he smirked before walking off.
it took me a while to get him. Lia was the donkey who called me asking about Ahaya or Naqeebah but how does he know her?
WAIT! Connected... come on Arshad... think of ways...
Since I couldn't think of any way, I decided to call her myself.

"Oh well.. thanks for gracing us with your call!" said Lia as soon as she picked up her call.
"Why do you want to know about Naqeebah?' i asked her straight forward.
"Oh interested are we?" she asked back
"Answer my damn question Lia!" I growled
"She is a worker of mine. She was suppose to be with me about 5 months ago but she did not come! I heard she was in India so I called you!" replied Lia.
"What work?' i asked
"You would not want to know, baby!" she replied laughing.
'I ASKED WHAT WORK!?!!!" I screamed at her.
i did not care if anyone heard me, I was getting this done fair and well!
"I have a bar lovely! I get girls to work for me!" she replied chuckling
"So what do you want from Naqeebah?' I questioned back.
There were a million questions running in my mind.
"She is one of my fu****g workers here at the bar!" replied Lia frustrated.
"For how long did she work?" I asked her back
She hung up.
Great! Ahaya was a bar dancer? Is this my damn life!?!!! I so wish I had never came to India!!! At least i would be safe at my room! I hoped this was some dream and when I woke up, everything is back to normal.
"Arshad?" said a voice behind me
I turned to see haan bhai.
He walked and hugged me.
"Its gonna be fine!" he said.
"You too?" I asked him as he nodded.
We talked abit longer and then went back to my room.
"Bhai?" I asked Haan.
"Hmmm?" he replied
"Since when is Ahaya here?" I asked

"I really don't know!" he replied as I turned to the bedroom window witnessing the sun set in the horizon.
What has my life turned into!?!!
The door cracked and I turned to see Ahaya looking at me from the gap.
"Don't_" I said as she took a step inside. "Don't enter!" I growled.
she gave me a hurtful and puzzled look.
"Stay out of my room, my head, my brain, My life and -" I stopped dead on what I was gonna say.
"Just leave!" I said to her as she did as I told her too.
I heard faint sobs as I closed back the door and felt my cheeks wet with tears.
Calling Talha
I swiped my screen and answered his call.
"What happened?" he asked
"I-am- ah nothing!" I said
"Stop lying Arshad, I am your elder brother! I know you!" he said
"No I- ah..." I started but I broke down.
"meet me in Park 12 in D12 in 20 minutes!" he said
"But-how-what?" I said
"I will explain later" he replied and hung up.
********
I saw my brother after 10 years! My brother!!!
I ran and hugged him. he was only 5 years older then me so we got along.
"How are you?" he asked
"Good and you?' I replied
"what happened?" he asked
"Kadeer is married to the girl I love and thought she loved me back too and learnt the fact that she was a bar dancer with Lia and that Kadeer is just using her? Yeha thats what happened!?!" I said angrily
"Calm down... my lil bros in love eh? care to show me her pics?" he laughed
I showed him her pics from the wedding.
"Pretty!" he replied "Suits you!"
I smiled then frowned
"Come back home please" I asked him
"you know I can't right?" he said sadness in his voice. "How is ammi and what about abba?'
"They are good.... missing you" I said
"I can't until I find the main one and till then you have to wait!" he replied
"I love you bhai!" I said as I huged him.
"Love you too!" he replied but then started laughing.
i looked up at him.
'Why are you laughing?" I asked him
"I told Mads to look out for you and she told me that you were like running a billion dollar company and was strong!" he said
"So?" i asked him
"Strong people don't cry!" he replied laughing as I joined him.
He was married to Mads about 4 years now. I loved them both and so did ammi and abba but as you know- ammi and abba have no idea they are married!
"I still can't forget that night!" i said
"Yup!" he said
Flashback
"Ammi please!" whispered Talha
"I said no! I don't want a son like you!" screamed back Ammi.
Abba tried his best to console her but.....
"They don't even know if I even did that!" said Talha trying hard not to lose his temper.
"they don't we know!" screamed back ammi.
"FOR ALLAH'S SAKE MOTHER! BELIEVE ME!" Talha screamed back.
"No I did not raise my son to be a rapist! a murderer of an innocent girl!" screamed back ammi
"I was saving her from-" replied Talha somehow calm
'LIES and LIES! TALHA STOP THIS!" screamed ammi.
"Please.. abba?' talha said
Abba nodded and tried talking to ammi but no good came out of it.
"I DON'T WANT ARSHAD TO BE LIKE YOU!" Screamed Ammi
I felt tears run down my cheeks. Everything got blurry, all i heard was loud slaps and screaming, words not understandable. I ran up to my room and cried off to sleep.
When I woke up the next morning, Talha was not there and ammi and abba acted as if everything was normal.

It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.
