ENJOY!

MAAZ'S POV:

I shut the door behind me not bothering to look back at her; I leaned my back to the door and ran fingers through my hairs frustrated by these weird feelings,

"This is not the way you treat a woman Maaz," I heard the familiar voice from my right.

I looked up and saw her standing on the last step in her white night gown looking stunning like always, I smiled and move towards her and embrace her into a hug, "Ohhh... I missed you so much sweetheart," I said kissing her cheek, in return she hit me on my arm, "Don't change he topic young man, is this how I told you to treat a woman, as far as I remember you were the gentleman, then why did you treat that girl like that, no girl deserves to be treated badly, they all are the blessings of Allah for us," she said angrily, giving me the determined look, "Come on Nani ma, just forget her, let's go inside," I said casually, holding her from her slender shoulders, she was still looking angry, I swear if I knew she would be awake at this time I would have never brought Areesha here at any cost, I just don't wanted to meet Javed or any other, I know Areesha is his daughter but surprisingly I don't feel that hatred towards her that much, yeah I do hate her and can't wait for the moment she will be mine to keep, only mine to torment, only mine to take revenge from her father.

"Are you even listening to me Maaz?" I heard Nani ma, "Sorry, What were you saying?" I asked her, she turned around and cupped my face with her soft hands, "What is bothering you my child, what is it? You always behave like this when you are having inner battles, talk to me Maaz, what is bothering you?" she asked softly, I sighed audibly and hold her wrist and kissed her palm, "You always knew Nani ma, when I need you the most," I said giving her a smile, "Come," she said and tugged me along with her to the living room and sat down on the white plush couch, and made me sit next to her, I kicked off my shoes and lay down on the couch keeping my head on her lap, she runs her soft fingers through my hairs, which soothe me, I closed my eyes feeling her and her love, the only thing I have ever wanted the only thing I craved, the love, the acceptance and the devotion.

"I still remember the first day you came to me in New York, you were just sixteen at that time, when I saw you the first time, you reminded me of my daughter, you have her eyes, same captivating grey eyes so pure and virtuous, they reminds me of her, but that day I saw hatred and anger in them Maaz, I know you have suffered a lot in your past and it still haunts you, you had nightmares when you came to me but you never told me anything, you never lose the burden you are carrying around for last nine years, I just want to see you happy Maaz, just let go the past, it's all gone, you know Sarah was watching a movie when I was in the hospital for dialysis I heard a dialogue which stated that yesterday is a history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, that's why it's called the present," she told me caressing my face with her finger, I opened my eyes,

"Who is Sarah?" I asked, "I haven't told you about her?" she asked, "No, Who is she?" I asked her again, "She is twelve years old girl she came for dialysis, we are seat mates," she told, I sit up and faced her, "I have given clear instruction to my men to keep you in a private room when you go for your dialysis, you should have told me they send you to the general bay, I will sue them all!" I said and took out my cell phone to give them the piece of my mind, "How dare they keep you in that bay!" but Nani ma took my cell phone from my hands, "will you just listen me for a mere second what I am trying to say to you Maaz," she asked and hold my hands in her, I heaved a sigh and bowed down my head. I clearly know what she wanted me to do, she wanted me to forget my past, my suffering, my pain I have been through but, I can't I just don't know how to forget those days and most of all how can I forget my promise I made to him when he died in front of my eyes or I should say he was brutally murdered in front of my eyes, I can't and I will never forget it until I take my revenge from those murderers.

"What do you want me to do?" I asked her,

"I want you to find your soul mate, a girl who will give you comfort, and who will take away all your worries all your distress and give you her love, I just want you to get a true love, just move on in your life Maaz." She said, and while she was saying I don't know why it reminded me Areesha, why I thought about her, her innocent face and those brown hazel eyes I saw earlier today.

"There is no such things Nani ma, no one cares for anyone in this world, this world is filled with cruel and mean people and if you don't get to be like them, they will crush you, so we have to be more callous to survive in this world," I said looking down on the floor.

"Yes I know, there are cruel people, but I also know there are kind and good people who are balancing the world, if they would not have been here, then this world would be a hell, no one could have survived the negativity of others." She told me like I was a five year old, "It's getting late, you should rest, it's been a long journey for you, we will talk tomorrow in the morning and I will make breakfast for you," I said and stood up from the couch and helped her to stand, she smiled, "Oh how much I missed your cooking Maaz," she said happily, I courted her to her room,

"I want to meet that girl Maaz," she said. I looked at her confused, who is she talking about? I recall all the girls I have been but they were so many of them don't know who she is talking about, "Which girl?" I asked her, "The one you misbehaved earlier," she replied, "and what do you mean by which girl? How many do you know?" she asked, "What can I do Nani ma girls just love your grandson," I said laughing, she hit me on my arm again, "Behave Maaz, they are some ones daughter, some ones sisters, you should not say like this, you should respect them," she says to me, making me laugh, but I controlled it, she is just so sweet and so down to earth person, if she ever know about these girls I have been with them in my past years, she would have never said this to me, they all were just gold diggers, nothing else, ready to give away anything for few dollars, pathetic!

"I am serious Maaz, I want to meet that girl," she said in a stern tone, "Okay I will bring her for the lunch someday," I spoke and open the door of her room, "Oh one more thing, Haya called me earlier when I was in New York, she wanted to talk to you, she told me she was trying to contact you, do you know she is getting married, I am so happy for her, she is such a nice girl, so lovely and gentle Allah bless her with so many happiness, she wanted to invite us in her wedding, so you, young man are going to attend her wedding and I don't want to hear any no from you, she is your only friend and I want you to go and enjoy." She told me sitting down on her bed, I kneeled down beside her, "okay, I will talk to her later," I said and stood up. "Okay Good night, Nani ma," I said and kissed her cheek before I close the door and walked down to my room and lay down on my bed and fall into a sleep without bothering to change my clothes.

There was something cold on my back which waken me up, I opened my eyes slowly and saw that face which annoyed me,

"Hey handsome, good morning," Zoya said leaning closer to me but I pushed her away, "What are you doing here?" I asked getting up when I noticed that I was only wearing my pants, I glanced back to Zoya who was in a tight white knee length dress showing every curve of her body, sitting on my bed with a glass of orange juice in her hand, she was holding an ice cube in her another hand, " it's been so long we last spend time together, let's go somewhere today, we could go for a shopping or for a picnic at your beach house," she said sipping the juice, " I have important meeting to attend, so just leave, "I said and walked towards the bathroom, "Oh come on Maaz, loose up a little, you are the owner, let your employees work for you," she said coming closer to me and wrapped her arms around my waist, "Let's go somewhere private, oh.. Can we go to your island? You have never taken me there and you don't know how much I wish to go there," she said batting her fake eyelashes at me.

"Maaz!" I heard Nani ma's voice from the other side of the door, "Shit! You have to leave before she comes in," I cursed, and pushed Zoya to the back door and closed it before she could say anything, I grabbed my shirt from the floor and wear it before opening the door, "You are late boy! I have been waiting for you in the kitchen for last thirty minutes," she said coming into my room, "Sorry Nani ma I will be down there in few minutes." I said walking back towards the bathroom, "Okay, your friend came earlier, I asked her to sit in the lounge but when I returned she was not there, don't know where she went," she told me, "Don't worry about her she must gone somewhere, why don't you sit here while I take a quick shower then I will make your favorite breakfast for you okay," I said, "No, I am going down stairs come quickly, don't make me come up here again okay," she said and left the room.

I quickly took a shower and changed into my shorts when I got a call from my investigator, "Yeah, what is it?" I asked, "Sir, I have traced out the house where Miss Maheen lived after her husband's death, her father in law forced her to live with him in his haweli, in this town, but Sir, there is a bad news for you," he said making my jaw tightened by hearing those words, "What is it," I asked, in a low voice. "Sir three years back this Haweli caught fire, no one survived the blaze, Miss Maheen died in there with her daughter Areesha, I have investigated in this area, but no one know how that haweli got burned up, I am standing right in front of this burnt Haweli and Sir,there is nothing but the ashes and ruins of the building, it is completely destroyed and burned." He told me, but I was just frozen in my spot not believing what I just heard,

"Areesha died!"
