Shehnaaz took step back when he took step towards her with his dark eyes full of rage and bitterness. Her expressions of anger didn't vanished yet but stayed there. She didn't look away from his eyes not matter how intimidated he seems at moment

His rough hand came to grip her wrists and pull her closer forcefully. She didn't struggle knowing it's no use here. He held them in one hand and with one he wiped off her lipstick and smudged it making her confuse and even undo her hair making them mess

"Kya-"

She let out yelp when he turn her around. She doesn't know what's he's upto until he grip fabric of her blouse between his hands and ripped opened it. She wide her eyes and pushed him away to pinned her back against wall behind with horror in her eyes. Her hands came to hold blouse from front, prevent it from falling. She looked at him

"Don't touch-"

"Tumhe nahi krni thi shaadi mujhse jao nahi krta" He stepped back with his lips curving in sinister smirk

"W-what's meaning of this!" She asked not understanding what's his actual motive. He shove hands in pocket of his pants and look at her

"Jis tarha se mein tumhe yahan lekr aya hu sabne dekha hai and now if you left like this.." He paused seeing her expressions turning from confusion one to back to angry

"Mujhe farq nahi parta yahan ke log jo soche mere bare mein!" She yelled with glassy eyes

"That I figured lekin you see problem yahan per yeh hai ke your father won't be able to tolerate such a thing and will probably have heart attack out of humiliation" He spoke. Something different he see in her eyes at mention of her father, he's only one left in her life who cares about her

"No one will know agar mein yahan se is haal mein jau bhi" She said, she shivered when he chuckled darkly at her words

"Tumhe kya lagta hai why we decided to give you script to speak in front of those ladies? They are some important people in our caste and now they know you who's half rasheedi marrying me toh neeche puri caste wale khade honge to demand answers from your father. If they saw you like this coming out of my room consider reputation of yours and your father's gone and it can only be saved if I marry you" He said and it made her furious more furious as much as helpless she felt in situation

"I won't leave!" She shook her head

   He stepped closer her, she pushed herself further in wall looking at him through her lashes there was clear fear in pretty eyes of hers. He got hold of her jawline in between his fingers and forced her face against his. Close enough to breath same air

"Toh wo ajaye ge and I would love to see face of your father" He whisper in rough voice looking into her beautiful brown glassy eyes

    Her father was only reason she came here at first place and his words were getting her so bad that she was regretting this all. She was regretting ever bumping into him or being his cousin. It was better to be born as some animal than related to this man. He has no humanity and it sparked fear inside, fear from him

    Her heart was beating so fast and she doesn't know what to do. She doesn't want her father to be humiliated because of. She knows these rasheedi people so well they will never let her father forgot if she left his room like this but she also can't be helpless in front of this man

"What you want" Her eyes looks into his, he slid his hand to cup side of shehnaaz's face and pulled her face more closer to his. She looked at him with coldness in her eyes while he with newfound rage he has for her

"Mujhse kaho ke mein tumhare sath Nikkah karu beg me for it Naaz" His demanded in husky voice with lips curved in smirk that made goosebumps rise on skin of her body

"In your dreams" She whisper back bitterly that caused him to fist her hair. She hissed at tug

"Mujhe koi aur option toh nazar nahi araha do it or I'm throwing you out of room" He threatened gripping her hair in tight grip

   She stayed silent utterly silent. She wants to cry at situations she was stuck in. She wants to break face of this man who was determined on ruining her life what she hasn't planned for her future. He was destroyed them all with this marriage whom she doesn't even know will be able to get out. She closed her eyes tightly before uttering next words

"Nikkah karen mere sath" She paused opening her eyes slowly to look into his "Please" She continued making him shake his head

"Jitna tez thapar mara hai utna tez kaho" He clenched his fist remembering event from earlier where he vowed to make her regret this slap. She looked at him with annoyed gaze and sighed

"Nikkah karen mere sath!" She said it little louder

"Please kon kahe ga?" He asked bringing his hand to caress skin of her cheeks and wipe tears off with his thumb, anger. Humiliation and fear all she was feeling at same time. She has never felt this weak against anyone

"Enou-"

"Say it" He glared at her. Only if murder was legal

"Nikkah karen mere sath please!" She said it loud enough with hint of desperation not because she wants to marry him but because she wants to end this all. He looks at her with amusement in his eyes and smirk playing on his lips

    Shehnaaz set down on bed of her room. She has changed into fresh pair of clothes, matching print shalwar kameez. She earlier saw in mirror to see finger prints marks on her right cheek and some around her throat. She even have marks ok her wrist because of his tight grip

    She bring one knee against chest and let out tears. She has never encountered these kind of people, her father didn't want her here for reason now she knows why. These people are cruel and arrogant especially him

  This all doesn't mean she will give up on het motive. She will do anything to get het freedom back even if that means she has marry that stupid man. Her throughs were broke when door of her room crack open and she saw her father rushing towards her. She couldn't contain herself anyone and hugged him immediately before letting out sob

"Mujhe yahan nahi rehna" She cried against his chest while he rub her back gently with worried expressions. He was gone Karachi to settle some deal when he got call from his wife

"Theek hai rona band karo" He pulled back to wipe tears off his daughter's face. Her lips curved in small pout as she sniffed

"How do you manage with them I feel cadged here and your mother slapped me! Again" She complained

"Baadtameezi nahi krni thi na tumhe beta bataya haina mene ke wo dusre khaylat ki aurat hain she thinks different than us and we have to tolerate because she's elder" He tamed her hair softly and placed kiss on her forehead

"Just kuch waqt dou mujhe Shehnaaz we will figure this out together" He promised hugging her again

   She also wrapped arms around him and her eyes fell on Zain who was standing by door with very normal expressions. He once use to close to his father like this as well and it made him feel very lonely and unloveable now

"Hogaya ho agar baap beti ka milan toh meri baat suno" Dadi-jaan walked in room with attitude and anger. Father and daughter broke away and looked at her

"Tumhari beti ne jo aj harkat ki haina use humari izaat toh jese tabha hogayi hai! Shukar karo Sidharth ka jisne sab smbhala hai!" She glared at her son and didn't look at Shehnaaz this whole time

"Ami saaf saaf bolen" Alam asked in tried tone

"Sidharth ne sabse baat ki hai aur yeh faisla hua hai ke Shehnaaz ka Nikkah uske sath kal perso hoga aur yeh sab bhi isliye kyun ke humare khandan mein maangni Nikkah ke barabar hoti hai. Toori nahi sakti" She told them while rolling her eyes and it hit Shehnaaz

  He made her beg and humiliated for nothing but he himself can't back off this marriage! He played her and do that. How dare he!
