They were in a deep slumber, murtasim's face had the peace which was missing from days. Meerab's presence has something that gives him an instant comfort. Murtasim changed his side towards Meerab and keeps his hand over her, he always try to be as close to her as possible. Meerab's hair was scattered on the pillow, her face had nonchalant expression. The night's darkness was vanishing in the lights of dawn and it was time for murtasim to wake up as he is an early riser. Murtasim turned his side, stretched his body trying to wake up. He opened his eyes slowly only to take a first glimpse of his wife on his side, he gazed her for a moment and checked her forehead to relief himself that she doesn't has fever now. He then got more close to her and buries his head in the crock of her neck, she just moved her head subconsciously which provided him more comfort. He enjoyed it for a brief moment and after convincing himself hard to get up he jumps out of bed unwillingly because he didn't wanted Meerab to leave alone but he had a work to do and he wanted to do it before she awakes, also now days she wakes late becz of high doze of painkillers makes her sleep longer.

Murtasim gets off the bed, walks towards window to close the curtains as the rays of light was peeking inside the room and Meerab was sleeping he then went near to bed and tucks her in the blanket which was just an excuse to stay with her for little longer but after sometime he went to washroom and gets fresh and up.

After sometime he went out in th garden area calling bakhtu as they were going somewhere. He then sits in his car and gaurds followed him in the next one. He drove for few minutes and they reached to another haweli which was mallick mukhtaar's. Murtasim walks inside calmly, twists his mustache before taking his seat on the sofa.

Mallick mukhtaar was pacing in the hall, there was few people with the registers and documents debating on something and arrival of Murtasim brought a sudden scilence in the scene. Mallick was not amazed by murtasim's arrival but there was the expression on his face that he was expecting khan at that moment. Murtasim sit down fold his one leg up and asked kaise ho mallick mukhtaar ( MM).

MM silently looked at him and asked yaha kya karne aaye ho?

Murtasim- mujhe laga tum mujhe yaad kar rahe ho toh mai tumhare haal chaal jaane aa gaya!

MM- hamara nuksaan karke tumhe sukoon nhi mila?

Murtasim laughed bitterly, stands up going close to him and said in his firm voice....sukoon ki baatein mat karo mallick, tumhare bete ki harkatein kafi hai mere sukoon chinne ke liye.

He then takes one step forward and said aur rahi baat nuksaan ki toh ab tumne meri baat na manne ki jurrat ki hai toh iska khamiyaza tumhe sehna padega.

MM didn't said anything but looked away as if he knows what mistake he has done.

Murtasim turned around and started leaving but he stopped and looked at MM saying ab Tak toh tumhe samjh me aa jana chaiye ki mallick Zuber ki bail mumkin nhi aur tumhari bhalayi isime hai ki tum jo chal raha hai chalne do nhi toh anjaam acha nhi hoga, ye nuksaan tumhe yaad dilata rahega ki tumhe kya nhi karna hai, dhayan rakho nhi toh mai hu tumhe yaad dilane ke liye! Chalta hu.....he said in his firm voice mixed with the bitterness of hatred he had in his mind.

He then leaves with bakhtu followed him. He sit in the car and started driving towards the police station.

After sometime he reached there, went inside and met with the SHO. He discussed about the Mallick Zuber's case as tomorrow will be the day of punishment as it's hearing day for his case. Murtasim then went near the lock up where mallick was sitting, he had multiple injuries on his face as if he was beaten. He came near bars after seeing murtasim, he had same hatred he had for murtasim but his eyes seemed void. Murtasim asked bas kuch raaton me haar gaye! Said while looking at the tiredness he had on his face.

Malick Zuber( MZ) laughed wickedly and said mai kabhi haarta nhi hu khan! In his loud voice while holding the bars firmly.

Murtasim smirked and said ye uchi aawaz, thaki aankhen tumhara haal bilkul durust bayan kar rahi hai! His voice was fierce, his eyes was red reflecting the grudge he still holds.

Malick Zuber laughed wickedly and said itni jaldi apni Jeet ki khushi mat manana Murtasim khan! Malick Zuber haarne vaalo me se nhi hai aur darta toh bilkul nhi hai tumse.

Murtasim said calmly mere liye tumhara haarna nhi tumhe Uss taleef se rubaru karvna kafi hai jisse mai aur mere log guzare hai! Aur rahi baat jeet ki khushi ki....toh mere liye tumhe iss zillat ke mukaam par khara dekhna kafi hai...chalta hu, fir milenge isi jagah....

He wears his sunglasses back and leaves.

MZ hit his knuckles on the wall while looking at murtasim going away....

After a while he reached home, it's 10 am already, he walked inside his room and Meerab was still asleep. He went near window and slowly removed the curtains letting the rays of light illuminating it perfectly. Murtasim looked Meerab, she covered her eyes because of blaze interrupting her sleep. He smiled on her innocence action to sleep more and went near bed, taking a seat beside her and gently strokes her cheeks, caresses her hair and softly calls Meerab!

She turned her side towards him, he then patiently said Meerab utho! While carressing her hairs....she slowly mumbled and opened her eyes groggily, saw murtasim. He smiled and waited for her to fully wake up, she opened her eyes and murtasim helped her sit up. Her eyes flickered looking at murtasim all dressed up but being sleepy she hugged murtasim putting her head on his shoulder while he takes her into his embrace. She closed her eyes to sleep for little longer, murtasim who was just flowing in her action took his place and comforted her saying good morning!

Meerab said umm...good morning drowsily....and asked tum kaha Gaye the? .....he replied bas ek kaam adhura reh gaya tha vahi karne gaya tha...

She- toh ho gaya?
He- haa,
She- good...

Murtasim had a pride in voice and peace on his eyes he enjoyed that brief moment after which he told her to get fresh and up after which they will have breakfast together.

After a while they had their breakfast, Meerab took the last bite when murtasim offered her the medicine she said murtasim mai tang aa gayi hu, aaram karte karte I want to go out said irritatingly.....

Murtasim offered her the glass of water and said Meerab abhi ham bahar nhi Jaa sakte I promise once your stitches gets open we will go for a long drive....

Meerab takes the glass from his hand annoyingly gulps down the tablet and rolled her eyes get frustrated living in one room. Murtasim sit beside her and said u know ur condition I don't want to take risk Meerab. she made innocent face and walked towards the dressing table. She sit down on the chair kept in front and looked at herself as her hairs were little messy which she don't like. She looked irritatingly in the mirror and picked up comb to untangle the knots from her hairs. Murtasim was watching her , he went close to her and takes the comb from her hand saying 'Meerab tumhare stitches khul jayenge' as she was about to comb and unable to do it by one hand. She felt infuriated but murtasim kept his hand on her shoulder and said tum nhi kar sakti par mai toh kar sakta hu na! , she looked at him little amazed and asked tumhe pata hai how to brush hairs? He replied with confidence 'well you can tell me after I do it'.

Meerab's forehead wrinkled and her eyes widened being doubtful that he will mess up her hairs more but she said ok half heartedly. He then slides the comb in her soft wavy hairs and gently brushed out all the knots leaving Meerab little amazed by seeing him doing it like an expert she said teasingly 'kya baat hai? Lagta hai tum kisi par practice Kiya karte the!' murtasim smiled, leaned on her shoulder and said while blinking an eye 'nhi bas tumhe observe Kiya karta tha, jab tum comb karti thi' . Meerab pushes her hair in front and said 'use ghoorna kehte hai' she then gets up and turned towards him, he takes a step closer to her and replied 'shauhar hu tumhara, tumhe dekhna ka haq hai mujhe' Meerab smirked and said 'ji khan sahab aisa hai aap inn gunehgaar aakhon se sirf mujhe dekhe, kyunki in aakhon ki dhokebaazi mujhe manzoor nhi' while looking at him sharply into his eyes. He smiled back, gets even closer to her and said 'meri aakhon ko sirf aapki khubsurti ka aksh( reflection) qubool hai, ye dusro par kabhi nhi thehar payengi. His eyes had passion which was speaking louder than the words. He then have final touch up to her hairs with his fingers ,when maryam knocked at the door and came inside.

Murtasim smiled and said ab tum dono baatein Karo, mujhe ek jaruri kaam hain! Meerab nodded half heartedly and he went outside.

Maryam came and asked about how she is feeling, for which Meerab replied all good she then again asked sab thik hai na? Her voice had concern,worrying about her Bhai 's behaviour wanted to asure herself that his Bhai is not keeping Meerab away from himself.

Meerab smiled fadely and said haa, kyu?

Maryam smiled back saying nhi aisehi pucha .....she then informed Meerab that maa begum will come in 2-3 days and sit there for a while.

Murtasim was looking out of window lost in trance when bakhtu arrived and asked malik aap kya soch rahe hai.....

Murtasim came out of trail of thoughts and replied kuch nhi bas soch Raha hu sahi kar rah Raha hu ya galat.....

Bakhtu- malik ek baar aapne ek laachar baap ke baare me socha tha tab nuksaan aapka hua tha aur iss baar aap apne baaree soch rahe jisme kuch galat nhi hai.

Murtasim took the file from the table said 'hmm, bakhtu iss gaadi par baith kar liye gaye har faisle ka faida aur nuksaan meri zimmedari hoti hai....aur mera ek galat faisla kisi ki zindagi barbaad kar sakta hai' toh bas dua kare ki allah mujhe sahi faisla lene ki Barakat Ada farmaye!

Flashback:

Yesterday, murtasim ordered bakhtu to called muneem( accountant). He was doing a deal to sell his crops in such a price which will leave mallick mukhtaar in huge losses as every big dealer of crops will buy crops from murtasim. That deal was done which left Mallick's with unsold crops. When murtasim went to meet mallick, he knew that in their haweli it will be complete mess but he did it to make mallick mukhtaar's effort to bail out his son to stop and this was the consequences of Mallick trying to do that again and again even after murtasim denying it.

It is evening, murtasim was working out near pool area. Gasping taking deep breaths, he was doing tough cardio but was trying get rid of all the stress he had in last few days. He picked the heavy dumbbells and curled the weight upwards exhaling all the frustration he had, his arms was getting wider, the cuts of biceps and triceps was getting shaper. He was burning fire he hold while the sweat was slipping down from his face like a drops of calmness. He was wearing black vest and trousers which was showing perfect shape of his body and wide chest was the highlight of his figure. After doing his proper workout he gulps the protein shake and looked towards moon as if it's light had message of longing for him. After a brief moment he went inside.

There Meerab was standing leaning on the window, gazing moon as it was fully illuminated coming out from the dark clouds which was depicting their present life. Murtasim entered in the room but Meerab didn't noticed so he started taking slow steps went near Meerab and tapped on her shoulder, she turned then he instantly picked her up wrapping his arms around her highs . Meerab asked murtasim tum kya kar rahe ho?

Murtasim- tumhe utha Raha hu said in a husky tone.

A blushing smile appeared on meerab's face and she asked kyu in seductive voice....he smiled and started walking towards bed. He kept her on the bed walked near sofa while saying tum meri biwi ho isliye!

He wiped his face as it was sweaty while Meerab continued and said aur?....he continued wiping and then pull of his vest, turning towards Meerab said aur 'Mai tumse bepanah mohabbat karta hu'. Meerab was gazing his naked upperbody in an awe ,her eyes was lost in his chest, she got so mesmerized that even forget to blink. Murtasim then throws away his tshirt aside and pulled his arm upwards to check his contracted triceps saying kaisa laga? But Meerab was too suprised to even utter a word.

He knew she was looking him, he smiled inwardly went near her, close to her face her pupils kept on moving as he took each step. They shared an eye contact and without taking time he pressed his lips on hers as if he was desperately waiting for this moment, both of them closed eyes as Meerab's hand was braced inside the arm sling so this time she was not taking her grip on his hairs. Murtasim's hand takes the grip on her hair and he sit down beside her, she leaned on the headboard. His lips was kept on exploring hers.... biting, licking and pulling each other's brim continued before their tongue find themselves, sometimes curling up together while sometimes measuring the depths of their love. Murtasim then pulls away his Rossy lips which was more pink after a kiss....their lips clicked by the force of pulling it apart they were breathless but he continued kissing on her face as he moved upwards and slowly brushed her nose then cheeks moving towards her ears. His hand was kept on moving in her hairs taking the grip as he moves. Meerab was just lost in him, her gasping was sounding like a gratification. Whenever she was taking deep breaths it was slowly tickling his neck. Meerab's other hand was moving around his chest, her fingers was climbing on his abs. Then murtasim opened the buttons of Meerab's shirt in a rush which he almost ripped apart as few buttons fell on the floor. She was groaning in utter satisfaction when his hand moved on her back and opened the hook of her bra which she always felt as if she is a bree bird now.

Meerab tried to open her arm sling as it was restricting her over him but he opened his eyes and groaned 'umm...hmm' in denial while stopping her from doing that , she couldn't resist him and stopped. He then jumps on the bed to take position beside her, pulling off his pants and exposing his muscled up thighs and patted on it sighing Meerab to sit on it she stood up and straddle herself on his highs. Murtasim's chest was sweaty but it all dried up leaving it's smell mixed with the fragrance of perfume he applies. Meerab then kept her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes, he kept on moving his hand around her bare body gently increasing the pressure of his touch which was just adding up to her satisfaction. His touch was coarse, firm yet enough to fulfil Meerab's desire. His hand then slowly moves downwards invading into her trousers as he brushed her highs and she gasped 'aahhh' in pleasure, she buried herself in crock of his neck and rubbed her cheek trying to feel him more. He then kneaded her thighs which was soft, smooth and bouncy. Meerab's hand was moving on Murtasim's back and he whispered 'I love how u feel me! ' , she smiled fadely and then she clamped his earlobes between her lips it was tender.She nipped it and nuzzled around his ears.

He continued comforting her which she was craving from days as her recovery is tough phase for her. There chests was aligned on each other's she slowly whispered in his ears 'I love every bit of you' and he smiled. His touch was getting softer and calmer as the night was getting darker, Meerab is now quietly feeling him. The tiredness of the day was taking them in its embrace as they felt their eyes heavy.

Murtasim's chest was firm yet cozy which let Meerab fall in a deep slumber turning their desperation into the peace of sleep.
She slept sitting on his lap, but murtasim was still awake massaging her scalps, he placed a soft kiss on her head. She was fade up and annoyed sitting in the room feeling home sick but now she is all sleeping peacefully like a Baby cuddled up in murtasim's embrace.

After a brief moment he also slept, pulling blanket over her not disturbing or making her lie down on the bed because she was contended like that.
