Above is Maier's mother Saiqa Ahmed

Chapter 10

She came to the cafe earlier than usual. For some reason she is not feeling good. Since morning she was just thinking about Anabia. Her heart was telling that her friend needs her and she was in her father’s office letting him know the same

“Baba I want to visit her. Also its her wedding after two days”

How Zafar Abbas can deny her. It took 5 months for her to come out of her shell after Ashir’s death, bearing loss of her child. His daughter had faced a lot in just 6 months at such a young age. How can he object when she is moving on in her life

“No problem my doll, I’ll arrange for your tickets to Lahore”

“Thanks Baba”

Now she just can’t wait to meet her friend, her soul sister.

Her sleep was disturbed but how? It took her a few moments to register that a toe nudged at her arm.

It's a kick.

Again, he kicked her and she got up instantly. He was in his three piece suite ready to go perhaps office. Her hand subconsciously went to her head to set her duppata when he held her hand and then she remembered what he told her last night.

“I’m sorry. It’s habitual .. I .. I never ….” but pulling her closer he cut her off and Anabia was not ready for it so for support her hand held his collar

“I’m not interested in knowing your habits or hobbies. Mom wants to meet you” Unaware of her condition he pulled a strand of her hair and she tried to back off but his grip was stronger

“L .. leave me please I ….” leaving her strand, Loosening his grip on her he held her wrist tightly and pinned her to the cupboard. She hissed in pain as her eyes went close

“Listen carefully, I told Mom about you that you are a …. a call girl” Her eyes shot open as what he addressed her just now

“I … I … what…” shocked was an understatement, she felt humiliated

“a call girl” he repeated staring straight into her eyes and she couldn’t control the tears spilling from her eyes. Her whole life she protected her self respect and dignity like a precious thing just for her life partner and here he in just one word how easily linked her with those girls who can sell their bodies just for a bunch of cash

“You … you’re pathetic … just … I … Aah ....” She was on the verge of losing her self control when her wrist was mercilessly twisted at her back

“Don’t push me to do things I don’t want to do. Seems you’ve no concern for your family” She felt her wrist to be broken with the pressure he was holding it as his other hand moved to her tearful eyes

“It … it’s hurting please …. let me go” She gazed at him, her black orbs glistening with tears … no pearls. He was lost once again. He can’t see her tears no matter what. He wiped her tears gently and it surprised her but the tightness on her wrist was causing her pain than to think of his gentleness

“Please” Lowering her gaze she pleaded and it somehow brought him to his senses

“Ok” He pushed her away and she has to hold the wall to keep her balance

“This is my final warning I don’t want to see the tears in your eyes, understood?”

“Jee” she nodded
