10 Chapter 9

Wazir Ali POV:

I lay there for a very long time when someone tugged on my arm. My sight was blurry due to my tears shredding. I tried to focus on the features and finally when my sight cleared; I recognized the person. Khalid was standing there with a worried face, trying to pull me up but my resistance kept him unsuccessful.

"Go away!" I formed those words with so much difficulty, and I mean them but Khalid refused to accept them as he kept pulling me up.

"GET THE FUCK OUT ... GO AWAY!" I yelled angrily with all my might. And he instantly backed off. I never yell at him, never talk to him harshly before...but right now, I don't want anyone. I want to be alone.

"Okay, as you wish. Son!" He added slowly and then walked away. I regretted instantly what I did. I lay back but again my eyes welled up with new tears.

"I don't deserve good people because I always pushed them away.... I'm cursed Mama... I'm CURSED!!!" I shouted out aloud but no one was there who listened. I cried, cried, cried and then sleep consumed me at last.

**********

I don't know how long I slept but when I woke up, I saw the most hateful person sitting in front of me, my father. I abruptly stood up from my position on that mattress. He smirked evilly.

"Well well well.. Look who's sleeping here, on this dirty mattress waiting for some motherly lullaby. The great Mama's boy. Wow!" And my blood boils but I ignored him and started walking towards the basement door, for exit. But he stepped in between when I reached the door.

"Not like that, son!" He winked. I raised my eyebrow at him.

"What do you want..NOW?" I literally shouted. But he didn't move a muscle or even strutted. Rather, he smiled more widely than usual.

"That painting..." And I stared blankly at him.

"What painting?" I asked bluntly. He was getting on my nerves now.

"That beautifully painted girl's painting, my dear son!" He smirked and I can't hold back this time, I punched him square on his face knocking him out of my way and walked out from the door.

Running up the stairs, heading towards my room. I entered the dark room and locked it. I walked to my bed and fell on it with a slight thud. My blood was boiling with anger. How did he dare to walk in my room, touching my things, touching my paintings?

"Don't tire yourself with anger. You can't change him." I jumped with shock, sitting straight. When my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I saw Khalid, sitting on a chair.

"You literally scared me." I almost cried out loud and he chuckled.

"Well I didn't plan anything but I don't mind if it happened." And I laughed.

"I thought you said that you will go home after dropping me here." I said and his face immediately went blank. It startled me. He was acting weird, sounding weird, even looking weird...different than normal.

"I wanted to go but not before,..before discussing something with you." He said.

"Well sure, I'm listening. Go ahead." I nodded to him, gesturing to him to proceed. He sighed.

"When you were away, your father spent his time in your room." And that boils up my blood again.

"WHAT THE FUCK??? And you are telling me that NOW!" I yelled, standing up with extreme anger. He lifted his hand up.

"Let me complete please. I beg you!" He said tiredly and it held me back.

"What did he do now?" I asked fearfully, sitting back again.

"He....I don't know why he wants that but I...I can't give him this time what he wanted from me." His breath hitched. He was crying and it was paining me but I listened carefully to what he exactly wanted to say.

"And when I refused him, he....he said that he will get what he wants anyway but he was respecting me by asking me...not asking exactly, but ordering, pressuring me. Either I handed it over to him by myself or he will take it by force. And the second way is much more terrible than the first one because it came with the murderous consequences." He told me while hiccuping.

"What did he want?" I asked curiously, and his answer took my breath away.

"He wants to marry my daughter, Anaar Kali."
