2. Sealed in Silence

"Dil kyun yeh mera shor kare, idhar nahi, udhar nahi, teri ore chale..."

Some turns in life arrive quietly, yet they change the direction of everything.

•••

Time :- past midnight

" All the things are done boss "

"Ok then burn them down and put it on the news " said Arwan while smirking .

"Ok boss "

Next day

Neza was working in the kitchen when Farzana ( her grandmother) entered in anger .

" Sirf teri buri kismat ki wajah se ham sab bhugat rahe hai " she said while fisting neza's hair tightly .

( Just because of your bad fate we all are suffering )

"Aa...ahh d..dadi " Neza said painfully while clutching her grandmother's hand .

" Apni is gandi zubaan se hame dadi mat bol tu sirf ek naukar hai iss ghar mai samjhi ...jaise teri maa thi " Farzana said while slapping Neza on face .

( Don't call me grandmother with your dirty tongue. You are just a servant ...like your mother was ) .

She dragged neza in the living room and pushed her on the floor . Meanwhile Sameen came with a whip and handed it to her mother .

Both the mother and daughter beat neza with the whip for almost an hour .

"P.. please s..s...stop " Neza said while crying badly .

After some hour

Rashid Qureshi entered the mansion with a stressed face . He went straight into the living room and sat on the couch and shouted for a maid to bring water for him . In the meantime all the family members came into the living room . Neza was sitting in the corner with the support of the wall .

" How did it happen beta " Said Faisal ( Neza's grandfather) .

" Pata nhi papa " said Rashid.

( Don't know dad )

" Mujhe to lag raha hai kisi ne janbujh ke puri planning ke saath kiya hai " said Sohail while muttering some curses.

( I feel like someone did this deliberately and with complete planning )

"Mujhe bhi " said Saleem ( Neza's uncle ).

( Me too )

Before Rashid can say something he got a call from an unknown number.

On call

Rashid - Hello

Unknown - Hello Mr. Qureshi

Rashid - Yes ..who..?

Unknown - itni jaldi bhool gaye .

( forgotten so soon ) .

Rashid - Kon baat kar raha hai ?.

( Who is speaking )

Unknown - Maine wo news suni hai aur tumhaari help karne ko taiyaar hu .

( I have heard that news and am ready to help you. )

Rashid - W..wh..??

Unknown - Come to the Rome restaurant today at lunch time .

Before Rashid can say something the call got disconnected.

Call ended

" Kon tha call pe ? " Ask Farzana .

( Who was on the call )

" Pata nhi keh raha tha ki wo madad karne ko taiyaar hai aur aaj Rome restaurant bulaya hai lunch ke time pe " said Rashid

( I don't know, he was saying that he is ready to help and has invited me to Rome restaurant today during lunch time )

" Mujhe to koi fraud lag raha hai " said salman .

( He feels like a fraud )

" Mujhe bhi " said Faisal.

" Koi nhi ek baar jaane mai kiya burai hai " said Farzana .

( There is no harm in going once )

Rome Restaurant

Rashid reaches the restaurant at lunch time and calls on the previous unknown number but before it can ring he hears a voice .

" Hello Mr. Qureshi"

He turned around and a shiver ran through his spain because the man was none other than Arwan khan .

" Stop staring at me and take a seat " Arwan said while sitting on a 2 seater dining table.

Rashid looks at him with pure hate but keeps his mouth shut as he knows the consequences .

He took a seat in front of Arwan .

" Suna hai tumhaare saare warehouse jal gaye " He said while chuckling a little.

Rashid shot him a glare but it didn't affect Arwan a little.

" Tum itne acche insaan to nhi ho jo ki tum meri madad bina kisi fayde ke karoge " Said Rashid in pure hatred.

( You're not such a good person that you'd help me without any benefit )

" Ha ye baat to sach hai " Arwan said while smirking.

( Yeah that's true )

" Aur tum meri madad karna bhi kiyu chahte ho tumhaare paas to sab kuch hai " Said Rashid curiously.

( And why do you want to help me, you have everything )

" Ha bas ek hi cheez ki kami hai " Arwan said while lookin at Rashid.

( There's just one thing missing )

" Btao kya chahiye tumhe "

( tell me what you want )

"Mujhe ....

"Tumhaari badi beti chahiye " said Arwan while smirking.

( I want your elder daughter)

"P..par wo kiyu ? " Said Rashid curiously.

( But why her ?)

"Wo sab mai batana zaroori nhi samajhta ...ab btao deal manzoor hai ?"

( I don't think it's necessary to tell you all that... now tell me, is the deal acceptable? )

"N..nhiii tum kuch aur maang lo "

( No, no, you can ask for something else )

"Ya to apni company ke 70% shares de do ya to apni beti "

( Either give 70% shares of your company or give your daughter )

" Mujhe sochne do "

( Let me think )

" Faisla abhi ke abhi btao ...zada time nhi hai mere paas "

( Tell me your decision right now... I don't have much time )

" Kuch aur shart nhi hai kya ?"

( Is there any other condition ? )

"Nhi ...ab jaldi socho "

( No, think fast now )

" Acha thik hai "

( Okk )

" Kya thik hai sahi se btao 70% shares ya beti "

( What is better, tell me clearly, 70% shares or daughter ? )

" Thik hai meri beti rakh lo "

( Okay, keep my daughter )

" Mujhe wo rakhne ke liye nhi chahiye ...mujhe usse nikah karna hai "

( I don't want to keep her...I want to marry her )

" Mujhe laga timepass ke liye chahiye "

( I thought you needed her for time pass )

"Mai agar kuch keh nhi raha to zada mat bol samjha !!" Said Arwan furiously...he was about to hold rashid's collar but controlled himself .

( If I am not saying anything then don't say too much )

" Aur kal usse issi restaurant mai le aana lunch time pe ...mere ammi abbu aayenge "

( And tomorrow bring her to this restaurant during lunch time...my mom and dad will come )

" Ab rishta to pakka kar diya hai.. ab kiyu dekhne bola rahe ho "

( Now that the relationship has been finalized, why are you asking to see her ? )

" Bas le aana "

( Just bring her )

"thik hai "

( Okk )
