Chapter Seventeen.
What Are The Motives Of Kareem?
It has been a week ever since Riaz and Kareem tried to kidnap Zainab from Fahd and Hanan's engagement.
Fortunately, she was saved by her father and her uncle but Riaz and Kareem got away.
Fahd decided to take matters into his own hands and do what a father and a husband would do for his family.
He got with his friends Azaan, Sameer, Azhar, and also Azlan who is Iman's husband and part of the group as they are also a family.
"I need you to investigate everything about both Riaz and Kareem. About how they are related and everything that they have been doing together", Fahd tells Sameer. "This is how we will know about them. What did we do to make them angry and try to do everything to bring our family down", he added.
"I know exactly who to send to do that type of work. He will do it without any problems", Sameer tells him. "He is the best investigator that I have ever had in the company", he added while taking out his phone to send the guy a message on what it is needed to be done.
After sending the message, Fahd knew that he needed to do more because of his family, especially Armaan.
She is everything to him.
She brought him back to the way he was, and he wanted her to be safe always.
"I know what you are thinking, Fahd. Dad has hired some guards for the both of them. But without them knowing. As you know how my cousin is", Azaan tells him.
"But do you think that will be enough....?"
"If it isn't, there's more to be done like....."
"Guys, stop. You are making them win by fear. The fear that they inflict on our family. Don't let them do that. Let your family live life the way they used to but with caution. Like bodyguards and such. But don't let them get to you like this", Azlan advises them. "I know that this might sound bad but it's the only way to let them fail for once. If they fail, then you will be able to catch them and know everything", he added.
"Okay but we have to get them for everything that they have done. Sameer can continue with his investigation and let us know what he had discovered about them", Azaan agrees with his brother-in-law.
In the coming days, Armaan was being watched closely by the guards that were assigned to her by Fahd to protect her while he would take Hanan to and from work every day.
She didn't question it as she knew that this had to do with Riaz and Kareem who will always create problems in their lives until someone puts an end to them.
And that someone might be her.
She didn't want anyone to get hurt especially Armaan and also Fahd who has become important to her.
But no one knew that Riaz was getting sloppier as he needs money to get drugs and also go to the brothel like he always does.
I need money before I go mad. It is time to strike even if it is alone. I will do it. Just to get what I need.
Riaz started planning how to strike them without getting caught. All he needed was an opening to get to Armaan or even her mother so that he could ask for ransom from them.
But he didn't know that there was always someone watching both Armaan and her mother no matter where they are.
Home, school, or even at the office.
The day has come to strike, Riaz walked toward the school in disguise so that he could take Armaan with him.
It was break time for all the kids. Armaan was sitting with her friends.
Inaya, Farha, Adeel and Yusuf. They always sit together during lunch and even break time. They share food that their parents have given them.
The bodyguards were in the background blending in with the teachers. Thankfully, the principal has given them the permission they needed to be there.
The bodyguard that was near Armaan and her friends saw someone approaching the table. He immediately knew that it might be one of the men who was trying to harm the little girl.
He watched how the man approached the table while he waited for a signal from Fahd. After sending a picture, Fahd knew that Azhar was right about one of them slipping.
And that would be Riaz as he is a druggie and also someone pathetic who will do anything for money.
"Not yet.....five more minutes", he whispers in his earpiece to the other bodyguards who were watching Riaz like a hawk.
Riaz walked toward Armaan and as he was about to grab her hand that's when the bodyguard grabbed him and discreetly push him away from the kids before they saw him.
They took him to the back of the school where no children were allowed.
Fahd and Azaan were already there waiting for them to arrive so that they could get answers about what Kareem is planning to do.
"Someone wants to talk to you and I would say that he is more than pissed...."
"Who are you? Let me go...."
"Let you go where? To go and see your accomplice", a voice says to him.
The moment he turned to see who it was, the color on his face started draining.
"I think he has become mute. I think we need to give him a voice to talk but not here, Fahd. We need to take him away from here and to a warehouse that dad given us", Azaan says turning to Fahd.
"No....I will tell you everything that you need to know. There's no need to take me anywhere...."
But Fahd wasn't even listening to him but Azaan knew that Riaz would do anything to get his fix of drugs in his system.
"Take him there. Don't worry, I won't beat you up badly", Fahd tells the guards who nod.
What seem like an hour when they all arrived at the warehouse. One of the bodyguards took Riaz inside the warehouse while the other stayed back to protect Armaan.
"Fahd, don't do anything stupid. Hanan and Armaan need you....."
"I just want to talk to him, that's all", Fahd tells him with a wink.
Azaan knew what that wink meant.
Trouble.
Unleash the beast as they used to call Fahd and Azaan when it comes to being angry.
Azaan has been known to control his anger while Fahd unleashed it.
They both walked into Riaz being tied to the chair.
"I promise I will tell you everything...."
Fahd didn't even wait for him to finish what he was saying when he moved closer to Riaz making him flinch.
"Speak", he growled making Riaz shiver with nervousness.
"Okay, I will tell you. He wants the things that you have with you. Your family, and everything that you have", Riaz started explaining to both Fahd and Azaan. "He is jealous of the fact that you both are now happy and are now friends. He didn't want that to happen as he was planning to ruin your lives just like he did all those years ago. He even influenced his sister-in-law to get even with you even if she didn't want to...."
"I have one question. Is he responsible for my accident? The accident that almost killed me...", Fahd asks him.
When Riaz couldn't answer it, this made Fahd angry and move closer to him.
"Tell me before I do something that might end up with your blood being spilled", Fahd tells him holding his collar.
"Yes...he is. He was the one who cut the breaks and made it look like an accident..."
Fahd couldn't even listen to him when he punched Riaz in the face making Azaan hold him back.
"Fahd stop. We need him as our bait against Riaz. He will help us in getting Kareem once and for all", Azaan tells Fahd and then turns to face Riaz to tell him; "You will help us or I will just let my brother do what he does best. Rearrange your face. Deal or no deal? Your choice", he added.
The look on Riaz's face knew that Azaan wasn't even joking.
"I...I will help you but can I have...?"
"No, you will need to be sober when we have a plan to get Kareem. And with that we don't need you to be intoxicated by the drugs," Azaan tells him.
Riaz slowly nods.
"Okay, I agree...But..."
"Nothing. You will stay here and you will have everything you need. Food, water and a place to sleep. Until we need you that's when you will be let out", Azaan explains to him.
Fahd gave the guard instructions to follow when it comes to handling Riaz.
Now, it is time for the main plan. The plan is to get Kareem out of our lives once and for all. For good this time.
To get justice for everything he did to our family.
