Mistress

Chapter 38- Obsession

After 20 Days

Author's p.o.v

It's been twenty days since Sehreyar was shot. In these twenty days, many things have changed in

Sehreyar and Meher's life.

Sehreyar was in bed rest for almost 15 days. After getting well he divorced Sajal hearing the whole

pregnancy drama and this time his grandma couldn't do anything. Sehreyar's relationship with his

grandma has become worse about some matter. Sehreyar has stopped talking with his grandma. Even

Haniya couldn't convince Sehreyar to not divorce Sajal and not show any cold shoulder towards their

grandma.

Sajal was taken to police custody for trying to kill Meher's son and attacking Meher. And again she was

saved by her grandma.

Haniya is totally upset with her brother and didn't utter any words with him. She feels disgusted

whenever she remembered whatever he did with Meher. But, she is still in touch with Meher. She

always calls Meher and asks for Mehrab as he is her nephew. She cares for Meher and Mehrab a lot.

She is also trying her best to free Adeel from jail. She has already talked with the minister who is her

father's best friend. She is hoping that Adeel will be freed very soon. She believes that Adeel is

punished enough. That's why she is trying to free him.

On the other hand, Meher has returned to Bhopal to her family and started living with them. She didn't

share anything with her family whatever happened with her in Mumbai. She doesn't want them to be

worried about her.

She has started working as an individual architect under the supervision of Rehaan Al Qureshi. In

these twenty days, they have come closer to each other and Meher has started opening up to Rehaan.

She understood that it's time to move on from her past. She also understood that Rehaan is a good

man who can keep her happy. She was a fool to reject him.

Right now, Meher is in her house with Mehrab alone. Asish has gone to meet one of his relatives with

Shruti. Asif has gone to his studio to compose his new album and the maids are in a day off.

It's evening time and Meher is preparing some snacks items for Mehrab and herself. Mehrab is

watching cartoons on TV sitting in the living room.

Meher is cooking but her mind is occupied by Sehreyar's thought. She is still in confusion thinking why

Sehreyar saved Mehrab. In these twenty days, she might have talked with Rehaan many times but she

couldn't forget Sehreyar anyhow. His thoughts always bother her too much.

Meher is lost in her daydreaming when the doorbell rang and Meher came out of her daydreaming.

" Shruti didi and Asish mama(uncle) is here," Mehrab said excitedly and run towards the door to open

it.

Meher just chuckled hearing Mehrab's excited baby voice. She said smiling," Silly boy."

After that, she came out of the kitchen and entered the living room. She became frozen in her place

seeing the person in front of her. She gulped down her saliva because of nervousness seeing the

person.

The person is none other than Sehreyar. He is standing with Mehrab in his one arm. Mehrab is looking

like an afraid bunny in Sehreyar's muscular arm. Though Sehreyar isn't scaring Mehrab but still this

little boy is looking very frightened. He still remembers Sehreyar's aggressive behaviour towards his

mother.

" Mamm, this bad giant will scold me," Mehrab said throwing his hands towards Meher.

" What the hell are you doing here?" Meher snapped at Sehreyar and snatched Mehrab from his arm.

She didn't bother to ask him about his bullet wound.

But, Meher became confused seeing Sehreyar. Today Sehreyar isn't scaring Mehrab. He was gently

holding him in his arms. Meher noticed some toys, chocolates and candies are on the table indicating

Sehreyar has brought all this.

Sehreyar replied softly," Meher, I want to talk to you. I want..........."

" Aren't you satisfied after destroying my life? What's left for talking now? Are you again here to ask me

about my kid's father," Meher said angrily but she isn't understanding Sehreyar's gentle behaviour.

Sehreyar sighed and said," Meher, I know that I have committed many wrongdoings towards you. I am

sorry for that. Can't we forget the past and start our life freshly? I will love you, respect you and cherish

you. Even I am ready to accept your child. Please, give me a chance. I love you, Meher."

After hearing Sehreyar, Meher felt like Sehreyar is joking with her. She can't believe what she has

heard?

"Is he serious? Meher thought mentally and rolled her eyes.

" Are you out of your mind, Mr Seikh? Did you just forget that you are already married? Have some

shame before saying all this," Meher seethed at Sehreyar.

Sehreyar replied holding her shoulder," I have divorced Sajal. I am single now. I love you Meher.

Please give me a chance and forget the past."

Meher freed herself from Sehreyar's hold and said sarcastically," Have you left your brain somewhere

else, Mr Seikh?"

Sehreyar tried to say something when Meher said angrily," how easily you told me to forget the past!

It's not easy for me to forget all those humiliations, pain and torture you have given to me. How can you

demand so easily that I will forgive my rapist? I haven't forgotten that day when you raped me brutally

in your office."

Sehreyar just lowered his eyes because of shame. He is feeling very embarrassed remembering that

day.

On the other hand, Meher started crying after remembering all those humiliations which Sehreyar has

given her. She will never forget all those humiliations.

" Mamma, don't cry. You are a bad giant. Don't scold my mamma," Mehrab said glaring at Sehreyar

innocently and wiped his mother's tears. He isn't understanding what are they talking about but he can

understand that his mother isn't happy seeing Sehreyar.

Meher requested Sehreyar trailing her fingers on Mehrab's back," Please, Mr Seikh leave me alone. I

will never forgive you nor I will give any chance to you. I don't want to be humiliated and threatened by

your grandma and you again. I am tired of all this. Just leave me alone."

" Dadi threatened you?" Sehreyar asked angrily and thought mentally," Dadi, you have lost all the

respect which you used to have in front of me."

Meher said sarcastically," You are behaving like you don't know anything."

Sehreyar is going to say something when he noticed a ring on Meher's ring finger. The ring is looking

expensive as its made of diamond.

It didn't take much time for Sehreyar to understand that it's an engagement ring. Meher is engaged to

someone, this thought came inside Sehreyar's head and his eyes become darkened. He clenched his

jaw in anger and looked at Meher with full rage.

He held Meher's hand and asked her angrily," You are engaged? Which fucker dare to propose you

and you accepted his proposal? How dare you?"

" It's none of your business," Meher said with the same rude voice and jerked off his hand.

Mehrab started crying after hearing Sehreyar's anger-filled voice. Sehreyar is losing his control over

anger and feeling like to throw away the ring from Meher's finger. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Meher is trying to console Mehrab when Sehreyar clutched her hairs and asked barking on her face,"

Tell me who dares to put a ring in your finger? Tell me....."

" Leave me....You are hurting me.....Ah....." Meher said hissing in pain. She can't find the calm

Sehreyar of a few moments ago in this angry Sehreyar. She is feeling afraid. She can't believe how his

demeanour changed in a minute just looking at her ring.

" If you don't tell me that fucker's name then the consequences will not be good. I will bury him alive in

front of your eyes if I find him by myself," Sehreyar threatened Meher and hold her chin tightly.

Meher is hissing in pain because of Sehreyar's tight grip while Mehrab is crying very hard seeing

Sehreyar's aggressiveness.

" Rehaan Al Qureshi is the name of Meher's fiancee. Leave her, Sehreyar," A deep voice said from

behind and Sehreyar left Meher's chin.

Yes, Rehaan and Meher is now engaged. Meher has shared her past with Rehaan and Rehaan

couldn't believe what he has heard from Meher. He was in his shock state for almost days hearing

Meher. He couldn't believe his closest friend did all those horrible things to Meher.

Sehreyar looked behind and found his friend Rehaan who is standing at the door with his anger-filled

eyes.

" Rehaan! You?" Sehreyar uttered with too much shock and Meher ran towards Rehaan's direction.

She hid behind Rehaan and looked at Sehreyar with her scared expression.

" After ruining her life what more do you want Sehreyar? Aur kitna niche girega tu?( How much low you

will step?) Rehaan asked Sehreyar with his pissed off voice.

Sehreyar understood that it's Rehaan who is engaged to Meher. He also understood who is the special

student of Rehaan. He is feeling like to kill Rehaan for putting his eyes on Meher.

" How dare you to propose my woman? You betrayed your friend, "Sehreyar asked Rehaan holding his

collar.

Rehaan jerked off Sehreyar's hands from his collar and said sarcastically," Friend! You are a rapist

bastard and I don't befriend any rapist. Our friendship is over."

A punch landed on Rehaan's nose and his nose started bleeding. He touched his nose and feeling the

blood he lost his control. He punched back Sehreyar and his lips are now cut.

In just the blink of an eye both close friends became enemy. Sehreyar holds Rehaan's collar and glared

at him. Rehaan also holds Sehreyar's collar with the same intensity. They are looking like they will kill

each other right now.

Meher is looking at them with her horrified eyes. She doesn't want any kind of violence right now. She

is feeling too much disturbed seeing all this. Mehrab is already too much terrified seeing all this

violence.

" I will marry Meher the day after tomorrow and you are invited, my friend," Rehaan said mockingly and

a smirk formed on his lips.

Sehreyar chuckled and said," I will see how you marry her. Install this simple thing inside your thick

skull that she is my woman and I will not let you marry her."

" Is that so? Are you challenging me? Rehaan asked Sehreyar with his dominating voice.

Sehreyar replied with determination," Consider it as a challenge."

" Challenge accepted," Rehaan said smirking which Sehreyar didn't like. His eyes are looking too much

dark due to anger and frustration.

Rehaan and Sehreyar are going to beat each other again when Meher yelled crying," Just stop it. Both

of you. Get lost from my house."

" Meher, don't cry. I will not let him hurt you," Rehaan said going towards Meher and tried to touch her.

Meher replied flinching backwards," Rehaan Ji, please give me some moments alone."

" Meher, I will not let him marry you. You are fucking mine," Sehreyar yelled coming forward.

" Just get lost from my house. You will not tell me whom I will marry. I don't need your permission to

marry someone. I am not your property," Meher snapped at Sehreyar and Rehaan smirked hearing her.

Sehreyar fisted his palm in anger and said with too much determination," I will see how you marry

another man. I will not let that happen until I am alive. I will kill you then kill myself. But, I will not let

another man, have you. If you are not mine then I will make sure that no one else can have you."

Hearing Sehreyar's psychotic words Meher became scared and Rehaan looked at Sehreyar with

disbelief. He knew Sehreyar for many years and it's the first time he is seeing his friend behaving like a

psycho.

" Just leave, please," Meher uttered with great difficulty where Mehrab is crying hard.

Rehaan felt very hurt seeing Meher's crying face. He wiped Meher's tears with his fingers which fueled

up Sehreyar's anger more.

He jerked off Rehaan from Meher's side and threatened Meher," You didn't do the right thing by

engaging with someone else. I will make sure that you pay for this."

Meher is now confirmed that Sehreyar can never change. He has anger issues and he is obsessed

with her. He just wants to possess her. He doesn't love her. It's his obsession which he has named

love.

" I will take what is mine. Remember my words," Sehreyar said glaring at Meher and Mehrab both.

And the next moment he did something which shocked Meher and Rehaan both. They become

dumbfounded seeing Sehreyar. He kissed Mehrab's tear-stained cheeks and stormed out of the house

leaving behind an afraid, horrified and confused Meher.

Reehan said to Meher softly," Don't be scared by his lousy threats. I will not let him harm you until I am

alive. We will be married after one day. After our marriage, he will not have the audacity to talk like that

to you."

" Thanks for saying that. Can you please leave me alone for some time? Meher asked Rehaan with her

innocent expression which melted Rehaan's heart.

Rehaan replied smiling," Sure. You should rest and take care."

Saying that he left the house. After coming out of the house Rehaan found Sehreyar's car in front of

Meher's house indicating Sehreyar didn't leave yet.

" I love Meher. I will not let you snatch her from me," Rehaan said glaring at the dark glass of

Sehreyar's car and got into his car.

Sehreyar noticed Rehaan and uttered like a psycho," You didn't do the right thing by putting your eyes

on my woman. I will make you regret that."

Then he said looking at Meher's house," And the day after tomorrow night you will be lying under me

on my bed where I will punish you for accepting Rehaan's proposal. And I will make sure that you

scream my name while I will make love to you."

" Start the car," Sehreyar ordered his driver and closed his eyes imagining Meher in a bridal lehenga

with henna filled hands and feet.
