merciful and the most beneficial!!"

"Ahhh!!!"

I stretched my arms groaning.

Why it has to be morning this early??

"Anfal madam!! Your bed juice!!"

I turned around to see my maid standing with my juice.

"Ok put it on side table. What are you waiting for??"

I shouted and she nodded quietly and after putting juice on side table she left.

"Stupid!!!"

I murmured and went towards washroom to freshup.

I was drinking my juice after freshing up when my other maid came.

"Anfal madam would you like to have your breakfast here or at dining table?"

She asked with lower head.

"Where are mom and dad? Did they leave?"

"Yes madam!! Boss left early because he had some important meeting while madam left just before you woke up. She has an exhibition of new designs."

"Hmm!! Bring my breakfast here!!."

I said and she left after nodding .

This has became my habit of having my lunch in my room and having no mom dad at home in morning nor at night since years. My life is perfect with lot of money and assessories but these things really make life perfect? This was a question asked by someone in me which makes me stuck on it every time.

"Madam breakfast!!"

I was brought out of my trance by Ruksana's voice.

She put breakfast tray in front of me and left.

I was enjoying my breakfast when my phone rang.

Looking at the caller Id, a smile crept on my lips.

Hassan😗 calling....

"Hello baby girl! How are You?"

Hassan's cheerful voice beamed from other side.

"Hy sweetheart! I am fine how are You?"

I smiled.

"I am handsome as before. What are you doing now?"

"Having my breakfast!!"

I said shoving piece of my pancake in my mouth.

"This time? Girl it's 3 in afternoon."

"Yup!! I woke up late!!"

"Well that's habit of your will help you so much after our marriage cause I won't let you sleep whole night and keep on loving you that you will wake up sore every morning or better afternoon."

He said huskily and a blush crept on my cheeks.

"Shut up Hassan!!"

I said shyly.

"Oh so someone is being shy!!"

He said again in his previous tone.

"Don't tease me!!"

I

groaned and he suppressed a laugh.

"Okay okay!! So where we are going to meet today?"

"Umm!! There opened a new restaurant near my house. It's only 20 minutes ride from here and believe me they have best food in the world. Let's meet there at 6?"

"Okay done!! See you soon then!!"

"Bye!! Love you Hassan!!"

I said smiling.

"Bye baby Girl!!"

He hung up call without replying me with love you too.

I glared at phone but let it go.

I finished my breakfast quickly and ran towards washroom to have shower.

It was already 3:30 and I had to get ready.

I took the best outfit from my cupboard to wear. Well all the outfits in my cupboard were more than beautiful and a branded collection.

I smiled pridely and took a white sleeveless crop top with jeans.

After slipping into my dress I started applying makeup.

Makeup has always been my therapy. Whenever I become happy I do makeup. Whenever I am sad I do makeup. I just love makeup!!

I thought kissing my liner bottle.

After getting done with my makeup I started curling my hair.

I looked at my reflection in mirror and an evil smile crept on my lips.

"No girl in the world can beat Anfal Murtaza in looks and beauty."

I smiled and took my Chanel handbag and headed towards my car.

Hasan was no doubt a handsome guy.

All the girls in my college used to drool over Hassan when he used to come college to meet me. I met Hasan in a business party for the first time. No one in my house knew about Hasan. All they all knew was that I was involved with a rich heartthrob and I guess that was enough for my parents cause they never asked me his name. I myself didn't even tell anyone that I love Hassan cause I know dad won't allow me to continue my relation with him cause he was dad's rival bussinessman's son.

Now I was free from collage and preparing for my entry test in IBA university.

My trance of thoughts broken down when I saw a big board of restaurant with the words "Usmani Restaurant".

I parked my car in parking lot and headed inside.

I smiled as soon as my eyes landed on Hasan.

He waved his hand to me and I ran towards him.

"Hello baby!!"

He said kissing my cheek as soon as I approached him.

"Hy sweetheart!!"

I kissed his cheek back.

We talked for sometime and took numerous pictures. Some in which he was kissing my cheek or holding my hands. They always acted as a cute memory for me.

We were having our food when Hasan's phone rang.

A strange shade of colour passed by his face. He first looked at his phone and then at me.

"Whose call is this?"

"Na.. no one!! You enjoy your food!!"

He said and I digged into my food already.

I was right Usmanis have best food in the world.

I was enjoying my food when his phone rang again and this time even after his disconnecting call again and again the one calling him didn't stop.

"Yar Hasan who the hell is this? Just take the call!!"

I shouted getting annoyed.

"I am sorry baby! I will just come in 5 minutes!!"

He said and went out taking his call.

It's been 15 mins but Hasan didn't return.

I was sulking in anger when I heard a voice behind me.

I turned around only to bump into a waiter. He was carrying drinks which spilt on my dress.

"Wha t the hell?? Are you blind?? DAMMIT!!! MY DRESS!! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT'S THE COST OF THIS DRESS? YOU CAN'T EVEN PAY FOR THIS EVEN AFTER WORKING FOR A YEAR!!!"

I roared in anger. I was getting red by now.

____________

Ibtihaj's p.o.v

"Man you have got the best one. Congratulations!!!"

Haider said after roaming in whole restaurant.

"Yeah he is right!! It's just an amazing place and a sight to see."

Rehab bhai said patting my shoulder.

" Thank you so much!! All credit goes to you guys. Well we will chat later but first order something."

They ordered drinks and food and we sat on near by table.

Haider, Zaroon, Rehab bhai, Yusha Bhai and Saim were my friends or more brothers. We knew each other since years and now they all are having their little cute families. They all supported me at the time when I was alone. Specially Rehab bhai!! He pressurized me to get proper education and Tooba bhabhi, his beloved wife used to give tuitions to me. They all helped me alot and it was due to them that I became a well known Bussinessman and a fearful mafia man. I am a man who kills mercilessly.

I was taken out of my trance of thoughts by someone's yelling.

I raised my head only to find REHAB bhai and Haider looking in some direction.

"You guys talk. I will just come."

I said standing up. They nodded and again went talking.

"What is happening over here??"

I said going close to a waiter who was standing beside a girl who was shouting at him .

As he saw me he ran towards me while the girl kept quite.

"Sir!! I split drink on her dress and she is yelling on me from past 15 minutes. I have even said sorry."

Waiter said and stood behind me.

" Sorry?? Will your Sorry bring my dress back? You idiot!!!"

She again shouted.

"Excuse me madam!! This is not a way to talk. Mind your language first!!"

I said pointing at her.

"Excuse me!!! Do you even know whom you are talking to??"

She narrowed her eyes at me.

"No!! And neither I am interested!!"

I said with a boring expression on my face.

" You will regret this. I will make sure you regret!! Its not easy to mess with Anfal Murataza."

She said gritting her teeth.

"Listen miss who so ever you are!! Just pay for your food and get out!!"

I said glaring at her.

" How dare you to talk to me in this tone??"

She said pointing at me and took a step towards me.

"Exactly how you dared to mistreat the waiter."

I said and took a step towards her.

"He is just a waiter!! And besides who the fuck you are to ask me any thing? Where is your manager? I will talk to him now instead of you poor shit."

She gritted her teeth.

Afaq, the waiter was about to say something when I signalled him to stop.

"Manager!!! Where the hell are You??"

She started shouted getting attention of all the people there.

" Yes mam!!!"

My manager, Raheem came running towards her but halted when he saw me.

"Why the hell you have appointed such crap men in your restaurant. I will report this restaurant. You all will see. But first expell them both immediately!!"

She shouted pointing at me and Afaq.

" Sorry mam I can't do anything."

Rahi said in a polite manner.

"What?? Why??"

She again flared in anger.

"Because I am the owner of this restaurant!!!"

This time I spoke folding my arms on my chest.

Her reaction was a sight to see.

She was not seeming as believing and her face colour turned pale.

"Just pay and leave!! I don't bear such behaviour at my place with my staff."

I said in authoritative tone and surprisingly she didn't say anything and started opening her bag.

"Everyone please get back to your food!!"

Rahim clapped his hands and everything got back to normal.

Afaq was actually taking Rehab bhai and Haider's drinks so he left to get them new ones.

I was standing with her now alone.

She was continuously searching something in her bag.

She looked at me from the corner of her eyes and I could see utter embarrassment on her face.

May be she forgot money at home!!

I smiled at my own thought.

Crap!!! I forgot my card at home.

I took my phone and called Hassan.

He picked on 3 rings.

"Hello Hassan actually I.. "

"Sorry Anfal I am busy right now. You can go back to your home."

With that said he disconnected the call without even letting me to complete.

I looked at that muscular man who was the owner of the restaurant and found him smirking.

"Jerk!!"

I murmured under my breath dialling mom's number.

"Hello mom!!"

"Anfal I have told you numerous times yo not call me in office hours. I am not free bye."

She said and disconnected the call.

Tears were threatening to come out of my eyes but I blinked them back.

I dialled dad's number but he didn't brother to pick up the call and declined it.

After trying everything when I get nothing I turned towards that man.

"I..i.. forgot my card at home!!"

I said biting my lower lip.

He looked at me with scrutinizing gaze.

" Sorry??"

He said dramatically lowering down his face to my level.

"I don't have money."

I said little louder.

"Aren't you Miss riche rich Anfal Murtaza anymore??"

He teased me smirking.

I kept quite.

"What I have to do to go back my home?"

I said in low voice.

"Well nothing much but you have to wash the dishes!!"

He said casually and my jaw dropped to ground.

"What??"

I shouted in disbelief.

" Yes!! Wash the dishes and go back to your home or else you will have to stay here overnight but still you can't go without paying for your food."

"How much I have to pay?"

"10000!!!"

" What?"

I said in disbelief and he nodded seriously this time.

10 thousand was not a big amount for me but even after putting my bag upside down I couldn't find more than 300 rupees.

An idea popped into my mind and I gave it a nod.

"Can..can you take my bag instead of money? Please? I can bet it costs more than lacs!!"

I said and he looked at me in amusement.

"Your bag? Are you sure??"

"Yes you can keep this!! But please let me go. I cantwqsh dishes. I had never in my life ever done this. Please!!"

I literally begged him.

"Hmm!! Okay!!"

After thinking for quite a moment he said.

"Thank you so much!!!"

"But only on one condition!!!"

" What?"

"You have to say sorry to afaq!!"

"Afaq??"

I gave him a confused look.

"The waiter who served You!!"

"No I won't!!"

I said.

"Then rot here!!"

He said sternly taking one step towards me making me flinch.

He had a dominating aura around him in which I couldn't even breath freely. I wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

"Okay.. I will say..sorry!!"

"Afaq!!!"

He shouted without even averting his gaze from my face.

" Yes Sir!!"

That waiter came running towards us.

"This madam wants to say something to you."

He said still looking at me.

"I..am.. I am sorry afaq. I should not have shouted on you!!"

I said nervously.

Never in a million years I have ever said sorry to anyone. Nether anyone dared to mess with me but this man had strange nerves.

"Its okay mam!! I am sorry too. I should have been alert."

Afaq smiled and left.

I was stunned for a moment at Afaq's words. How easily he can forgive someone who insulted him in front of whole restaurant?

"Remember one thing!!! They are poor that doesn't mean that they don't have self respect. Next time before insulting someone in a crowd think about your fake reputation cause the one who can hear, can speak too!!"

He gritted teeth at me and marched towards counter.

I quickly took my phone and my essentials from my bag and headed towards counter.

He was standing there with his back facing me.

I put my bag on counter and started walking towards main gate when my steps halted at someone's voice.

"Well boss that girl was indeed beautiful!!"

Ibtihaj's p.o.v

After having food and chatting for sometime Haider and Rehab bhai left.

"Well boss that girl was indeed beautiful!!"

I was checking recipe book when Zaryab, the counter boy said.

I raised brow at him and he laughed.

"Ok ok Sorry!!"

He raised his hands in surrender.

This was my staff which was too friendly with me. I was never one of those men who think their workers as their slaves and this was reason that my all employees respect me and love me.

I sighed.

"I don't get attracted towards the caked faces and bare bodies!! These people have nothing other then money."

I said and looked up towards Zaryab and saw a strange look on his face. He was looking in a random direction.

I followed his gaze and my eyes landed on that girl. She was looking at us in disbelief and .... teary eyes.

No!! These rich people don't cry. All they know is how to insult others.

Crocodile tears!!!

I thought and averted my gaze.

What if those tears are real?

My subconscious said.

" Then I don't care!!!"

I murmured and went towards main gate from where she left while ago.
