     Shehnaaz covered her hot face with thick bio chemistry book because of direct sunlight that was falling on her face, it's month of august and as usual Karachi is boiling with temperature of 37 degrees, she felt like melting, mascara she wore earlier was nowhere to be seen and her hair were getting all sweaty

She waited impatiently for amna to say goodbye to her tiktoker friend and get inside car where their elder sister maham was waiting for them. Shehnaaz hates picking amna up from school because her goodbye never ends on top of that it's so hot outside to add more she had worst first day ever, it's all making her feel miserable

First of all she got really late and arrived around 8:45 which earned her serious scolding from professor and lecture on how to be punctual, second she couldn't make any friends whole day she was alone by herself in class and break time as well, her all other friends has got into MBBS because they can afford and some just changed to another field like business or designing

She was afraid of one more thing and that's raging of newcomers, she saw today how 3rd year seniors boys were ragging first year students to her luck she got saved because professor called her to develop his lecture on punctuality and when she went she got free they weren't there so she hurriedly rush to get inside maham's car which was already waiting for her by gate of university. She just have to avoid and hide from them for week because after that universities get legal notice to stop ragging

"Adi shelter ke neeche khade hojao" Security guard of school gate pointed his hand toward shelter. He knows her because Shehnaaz has studied from same school since Kindergarten

"Bas theek hai ap amna ko jaldi bulaye" She requested him. He nodded and called amna's name once again in microphone

Finally amna came outside looking very displeased for leaving her friends, Shehnaaz scoffed because in morning she was getting aggressive and annoyed for going to school now she's getting upset for going home

"Next week se meri working hours bhar rahe hain" Maham told them starting car's engine after they got comfortable in car

"Toh hum kese aye jaye ge?" Amna was one to asked. She was sitting in passenger seat while Shehnaaz in backseat, yes she never let her sit in front and Shehnaaz being Shehnaaz let her

"Wahi problem hogi mujhe baba se baat krni hogi is bare mein phir dekhte hai kya hoga maybe he can drop you both on his way to high court" Maham said with deep sigh

"Mera zyda masla nahi hoga mein university ki point pe bhi aja sakti hu aur rahi baat is amna ki isko school van lagwao" Shehnaaz said taking sip from her water bottle

"Bikul nahi!" Amna protest when she saw maham going into thoughts means considering it. Maham is one who's their father listens more because she's elder, sensible and responsible one among her sister

"Baba se baat karu" Maham murmured

She ignored amna who opened her mouth to protest but because of sudden brakes she almost bumped her head in dashboard while the water Shehnaaz was drinking spilled all over her clothes and some books as well, she let out gasp and look ahead at what caused maham to pressed brakes like this all of sudden

"Ya Allah yeh RPP wale jahil log! tang kar rakha hai in logo ne pura road block kiya hua hai yeh toh!" Maham groaned pressing horn's aggressively

Shehnaaz looked at lavishing Pajero and Land Cruisers standing in lane with black and red colour flag of RPP party proudly displayed on them blocking roads like they own them. People in cars loudly chanting someone's name and not letting even single car passed by, Shehnaaz sighed sinking in car, this was every other day drama in this city these party people block roads on one call from sidharth gabol.

She's sure he himself is sitting in his air conditioned room relaxing and watching this all on screen of his television with smirk on his lips. He definitely knows how dirty he plays with normal people

"Dusra wala road len?" Amna also could be seen annoyed by this

"Wahi option reh gaya hai ab toh" Maham sighed looking at side mirror to reverse her car

she was doing all fine until there was another jolt following with heavy sound. Did she hit someone's car? Sana wide her eyes and immediately turned her head to look outside window and her face turned into horrified one. She did and it's freaking BMW's bonnet she hit which left dent mark. Shehnaaz saw man coming out of his car furiously

"Bajiii!" Amna wide her eyes. Maham looked scared as well but she hide it with her unbothered nature

"Simple dent he toh hai" She said

"Haan Haan BMW ke bonnet pe this will cost your while salary!" Shehnaaz freaked out and before maham could open her mouth there was harsh knock on her window

There stood angry man with hands on his hips looking at maham like he will kill her or eat her alive. Shehnaaz gulped feeling scared for her sister and herself. What if he drag them to police? Or worst do something to them after all they are all alone with no man and also in defence area where she has heard that rich spoiled man just kidnap girls from streets. Her heart was beating really fast as she thinks about it

"Kya?" Maham asked rolling down window of her car

"KYA? ANDHI HO DEKHTA NAHI HAI!" He shouted griping on car's window tightly. Shehnaaz dunked her head ahead to look at man with pleading eyes

"We are really sorry-" Shehnaaz was cut off by maham

"Dekhen apki bhi galti hai is jagha per kon park krta hai? Car toh lage gi na!" Maham talked back which seems to make man more angry as he glared at her

"Mein chaiye apni car yahan park karu ya sarak ke beech mein who are you to tell me this!" He slammed his fist on car door. Shehnaaz wide her eyes so did amna

"Baji leave in please" Shehnaaz whisper in maham's ear. She was actually getting scared

"Who am I to tell you? I'm National of this country and I have right similar to you if your car is parked wrong and got hit by mine it's clearly your fault sir accept it and let it go" Maham glared back at him. Okay Shehnaaz is taking back when she said her sister is sensible because no sensible person will do what she's doing right now

That man leaned back a little while taking off his sunglasses to make eye contact with her, his face looks like it's filled with anger. Shehnaaz was feeling uneasy

"Zain bhaijaan?!" Loud yell could be heard from same BMW which maham crashed in and young boy came out with slightly curly hair and black colour shalwar kameez. He has sunglasses on as well also red and black RPP party's flag around his neck "Leave this fazool matter sid bhai's on call" He waved his iPhone in air for elder man to see

Sid bhai?

Shehnaaz thought, what if that sid bhai is actually sidharth and these guy are somewhere related to him? What if he kills them, Shehnaaz eyes grew at thought

"Next time road pe car chalane niklo na toh ankhe khol ke rakhna har koi meri tarha jane nahi dega" He wore his glasses back and took phone call from younger guy before moving far away from them

Shehnaaz released breath she was holding. Shukar Allah ka, she murmured and rolled eyes at her sister who nearly got them in trouble if their father hear about this he won't be pleased at all. He won't let them travel all alone next time, he's very protective about them since they are all girls and they are only one left for him. Reason he's living are theses three

"RPP ke bharwe" Maham cussed out as soon as guy named zain left. Shehnaaz wide her eyes and looked again to check if he heard or not

"Tum dono ne notice kiya us black kapro wala larka mujhe kuch zyda he dekh raha tha?" Amna asked

Shehnaaz frown because she didn't even notice that and what she saw next made her cringe. Her 16 year old sister has blush on her cheeks, maham once again ignored her younger sister and drive away safely this time making sure she didn't hit any asshole's car again. What a day Shehnaaz thought looking outside window

—

Sidharth gabol has made his own place in world of politics by always playing dirty and dangerously. If he set his eyes on something he want he won't rest until he gets, it runs in his gabol blood. They get what they want by hook or crook

He didn't chose politics for money. He had that before politics after all more than half city is owned by them since they are old sardars of Karachi. He didn't chose politics for fame, he isn't much of attention seeker so why did he chose politics? He wants kingship and he will get it

He crashed his cigarette in ashtray as he leaned into his brown leather executive chair with arm resting either side of chair, his sleeves were rolled up till his elbow showing his workout veiny arms and few buttons of shirt undone, his silver chain and toned chest can be seen little

He pulled another cigarette between his lips and lighten it up with golden and black lighter that has initial of his name. He leaned forward into his desk and flip page of his meetings while exhaling toxic smoke in air

His eyes read that says meeting student of Zauddin university tomorrow at 10 am. He has share in that hospital and university and also member of their board, he's not quite fond of meeting with young stupid medical kids who just know how to memorise book but he has to do this to keep up with his image as he's going to be their next education minister. Shutting file he shoved it away on his desk and leaned into chair comfortably closing his eyes and pulling his feet up on desk

Kids better not piss him tomorrow because he's not good at keeping his anger calm and has beat many other people
