Zain carefully pulled Shehnaaz out of hall who was now crying mess. It is better for her to stay outside than watch what her man will to guy. She surely will be traumatised and remain scared for days since she's too sensitive for this all

"Mujhe jane dou ander please" She looked at him with eyes full of tears. Zain held her before she could go back there

"Shehnaaz breath first" He grabbed her face gently. He started to get worried, he has genuinely started consider her sister and any brother would get scared seeing his sister out of breath

"Let me go in" She was very much stuck on going inside "Wo kya karenge unke sath?" She asked him, they turned around at sound of door opening to see Mrs gabol and Aryaan rushing towards them

"Are you okay?" Aryaan asked just to realise she's not

Zain doesn't looks pleased with whole situation, he let Mrs gabol handle her while he decided to go inside dragging Aryaan with him to stop his best friend from doing something extreme in anger. Zain stoped in midway and looked at security guard who came inside

"Koi bhi apni phone ke sath bahar nahi jaye ga ghar se" He ordered him

"Mujhe ander jana hai!" She said, Mrs gabol walked closer her and wiped tears off her face

She was feeling sad for Shehnaaz going through this all, their family isn't normal like hers and Shehnaaz is too sensitive to fit in here, fit with him, this was Sidharth's almost every second day thing ending up in physical fights. Mrs gabol was very much concerned how will she adjust in her son's dark lifestyle

"Mere sath ayo beta please" Mrs gabol requested her. Shehnaaz looked at her for seconds and agreed to go with her since she was requesting

Zain walked inside to see man was on floor heavy beaten, struggling to breath while sidharth still punching him with his knuckles bleeding and the white shirt he wore underneath his suit has some blood over them as well. He immediately rush to pulled him back forcefully from him

"Bas Sidharth!" Zain stand in-front of him while keeping hands on his chest preventing him from hitting man more, there were all people looking at him in horror

Sidharth wants to kill this scum man who dared to think about her in that way, for even putting that thought in her innocent mind. She's way too pure for people like them, she doesn't deserve to hear this filth from anyone. He would kill anyone who will dare to rise question on her character, she will forgive them easily but he will not

Sidharth looked at Haleema who stood right beside him while wiping off blood that was on his knuckles with her dress. He glared at her with look she understood what will happened to her even if he saw her near Shehnaaz. He showed her teaser

"Can you all leave please" Zain loudly spoke enough for everyone to hear

He was concerned about image of his best friend, they obviously already knew his temper but at that time Sidharth was just member of nation assembly now he's chief minster of province, that's way more huge position

"Koi nahi jaye ga" Sidharth lifted his face from man to glare at everyone with his dark eyes. They all stoped moving and stood where they were, they are terrified of him

"Sidharth what fuck are you doing?!" Zain whisper yelled at him

"Agar kisi aur ne Shehnaaz ko is nazar se dekha toh kya socha bhi toh mein unke pure khandan ko zinda dafan karuga apne hatho se" He threatened everyone in dangerously deep and loud voice. His eyes met with his father who was looking at him with arm folded over chest. He was pissed since he is always ready for his son's manic behaviour

"I'm sure you all heard him clean and clear now if you don't mind can you take leave it's been great night and sorry for any trouble " He turned to everyone and spoke out politely like this all didn't happened

Zain waited for everyone to leave until, Mrs gabol, his parents and Aryaan were left in room. His parents stayed behind since they are also like family and were known to Sidharth's this behaviour

"Kya hua hai tumhe Sidharth in front of her?" Zain spoke out harshly when Sidharth sit down in sofa with sigh. He didn't reply him just rested his head against sofa and closed his eyes

"Tumhe pata hai she's not use to this all and kitni sensitive hai wo we could have deal with this outside lekin not in front of her. God she's crying mess outside!" Zain said in frustration. Sidharth really tried to control but he lost it and hearing about her being crying mess made him guilty and arch his heart

"Can you shut up Zain" Sidharth gave him unbothered look. He wasn't use to express his emotions and feelings in front of others

"That's all you got to say?" Zain scoffed in disbelief "You know what fuck you and your this attitude she deserves better" He gave him last look and rushed out of room. Sidharth rolled his eyes at him and stand up to leave as well

"My son you should control your anger if you want her to stay sane and healthy " His father suggested him with hands in pocket. Sidharth stoped for seconds before walking out of room

Shehnaaz set down on bed of guest-room after getting changed in clothes Mrs gabol gave her and asked her to change, her heart still wasn't at ease. She wants to see Sidharth and make sure he's okay so is the man, she doesn't want him to hurt that man just because he said something about her, she can live with him saying her anything but she can't with guilt of Sidharth hurting him for her

Her eyes started to get teary again. She hasn't been in situation and don't know how to deal with this, she pulled her knees up again chest and buried face in them. Soft sobs left her mouth

She lifted her head at sound of door opening. It was Zain and Aryaan with food. She just want to see Sidharth right now

"Sidharth kahan hai?" Her soft voice cracked as she get off bed to go closer them. Zain kept tray of food on her bed

"Shehnaaz khana kha lou" He said, she shook her head like child

"I want to see him" She spoke in stubbornness

Zain knows for fact that Sidharth is in worst mood right now and he must be breaking things in his room, they really can't risking him losing his temper on her as well she's already scared

"Dekho mujhe tum bhai bhi kehti hu aur bare bhai baat nahi maan rahi meri" Zain said with hands on his lips in disappointment. She looked at him while sniffing

"Khana thanda hoga toh bikul acha nahi lagega phir ap mat kehna we served you bad food" Aryaan joked to lessen tension as she was considering listing to Zain because of his blackmailing

"I'll eat with him" She said wiping tears with her sleeves

Zain sighed out heavily being done, she's really stubborn when it comes to him and he has seen it before when they first met on wedding of her cousins there also she kept on wanting to know where he was and they couldn't hide it from her

"Bhai is not in great mood" Aryaan told her honestly. Thinking she will understand

"Mujhe farq nahi parta mujhe bas unse milna hai abhi" She told them

"Shehnaaz really? Ab zid karogi? Achaa jao he's in his room" Zain said, Aryaan hesitate because he's not sure about this

"Jau?" Shehnaaz asked

"Haan haan jao" Zain nodded "chapal toh phen lou Shehnaaz" He sighed out when she was rushing without wearing her slippers, she came back to wear her slippers and dupatta

"Pagal ho ek dum" He smacked back of her head, she looks at him with wide eyes and open her mouth to say something but he cut her off "jana nahi?" He said with smile, she forgot her revenge which she was about to take and rushed out of room

"Agar bhai kuch kar den toh?" Aryaan asked with concern looking at door from where she just left and turned his head to look at Zain who was now eating food he bought for Shehnaaz

"He won't do anything wrong with her. Wo Shehnaaz hai" Zain said confidently. She is his weakness and Zain was aware of it

Shehnaaz didn't knock on his door and just went inside. He wasn't there but there was vases shattered on floor, she amused he broke it by mistake and kneels down to pick those pieces up one by one because it can hurt someone

Sidharth came out of his closet after changing his clothes just to see Shehnaaz picking up his mess, his stomachs drops when he realised that she will end up doing this for lifetime if she stayed with him. Cleaning up mess he makes. He got closer her and crouched down before her, she lifted her face to look at him. They had eye-contact

He held her hand and make her drop those broken pieces while maintaining eye-contact with her. She has definitely cried by wetness on her cheeks

"Don't do this" He told her and pulled her up with him. She opened her mouth to ask him why but halt when he hugged her

He wrapped arm around her waist tighter and kept his chin of top of her head. She also hugged him back immediately while resting her head against his chest. No words were exchanged and they stayed like this

"Kya kiya apne uske sath?" She whisper against his chest. He remain silent. He won't tell her exactly what he has done with that scum bag, she's too sensitive to hear about this

"Kuch nahi" He lied kissing on top of her head. He didn't felt guilty even for second for lying to her

"Paka?" She rise her head to look at him with still hugging him

He also looked at her and nodded his head, she felt like burden off her shoulder. She was relieved to know that he didn't hurt anyone for her. He cupped her face while she closed her eyes and he kiss on her forehead

"Never hurt anyone it's wrong" She said to him, he hummed caressing her cheek. She's too naive to think he will actually never hurt anyone just because he hummed in agreement
