Larkana
3rd day of camp

"Shehnaaz please check sugar level of razia here and if it's low give her something sweet to eat" Dr zimrat said to Shehnaaz who nodded her head and took out glucose meter from stuff

Dr zimat moved to check other people while Shehnaaz got closer 45 year old woman who looks very weak. Shehnaaz smiled at lady when she looked at her and razia smiled back

"Kedi suhri doctor aw hiya" Razia said something to her fellow lady in sindhi who nodded her head looking at Shehnaaz. She didn't understood what they were talking about

"Tumahri shaadi hui hai?" Razia asked in her sindhi accent. Shehnaaz looked at her with tinted cheeks and nodded before going back to checking her sugar level

"Bache hain?" Razia asked yet another questions. She shook her head

"Tumhara shohar kya krta hai?" Lady beside her ask. Shehnaaz know they just want to start conversation with her and it's alright for her

"Siyasat mein hai" She told them in her velvet voice. Both woman looked at each other and shared look, Shehnaaz shake her head with small smile

"Konsi party?" Razia asked "Hum toh RPP ko vote dete hain tumhara shohar bhi RPP mein hai? Bara acha larka hai sidharth gabol tum bhi usko vote deti ho haina?" She asked without break

"Mein bhi use he vote deti hu theek thak banda hai" Shehnaaz said smiling to herself. Razia nodded

"Naya pull bhi banwaya hai usne aur humare gao mein school aur hospital bhi banwa raha hai" She said proudly

"Achaa" Shehnaaz murmured "Ap konse gao se ho?" Shehnaaz asked looking at glucose meter to check her level of sugar

"Gareebabad se hain thora he dur hai larkana se bus se ate jate hain roz bas 20 rupees kraya hai" She told her in detail

"Roz kyun ate jate ho ap?" Shehnaaz asked keeping meter down and push hand inside her lab coat to take out chocolate that her colleague gave her today when they were sitting in university bus

"Safai krti hu mein yahan gharon mein ek mahena ka 2000 leti hu itni mehgayi hogayi hai itna toh theek haina lekin 10 number ghar wali baji keh rahi hai ke zyda hai 5000 ka joota phen rahi hain lekin 2000 safai ke nahi sakti" Razia complained. Shehnaaz nodded in agreement giving razia a chocolate

"Yeh lo sugar low hai apka zyda kaam nahi kiya karo iron bhi low hai ap mein apke shohar kya krte hain?" Shehnaaz asked her

"Neend krta hai aur kya karega wo" Razia rolled her eyes. Shehnaaz felt bad for her at this age she's working a lot. Shehnaaz open her mouth to ask her further but she was cut off by someone

"Madam it's 8pm" She looked at Tahir. He told her yesterday that how his boss has threatened him to take her house before 9 pm or else he will end up losing his job

Tahir is chief security guard of Sidharth and instead of being with minister, he was here with her on orders from him. She was already embarrassed because almost everyone knows tahir, has seen him with Sidharth many times and now that he's with her it's weird for them. They don't know she's wife of Sidharth, they just know he's married

She nodded and went to ask dr zimrat if she can leave. Razia gave side eyes to tahir who stood little away with hands behind looking at everyone with hawk eyes

"Tum toh Gabol House ke guard hona?" Razia asksd suspiciously looking at him. She recognised him because this guy once didn't let her enter gabol house. Tahir didn't answer just looked ahead with poker face

Razia rolled her hers and opened wrapper of chocolate that young medical student gave her. She looked at tahir with judging eyes while eating chocolate and thinking

"Chalen tahir bhai aur razia baji take care kal milte hain Allah-hafiz" Shehnaaz waved at elder lady who excitedly waved back

"I'll carry these" Tahir took water bottle and bag from her hand before she could protest "Follow me madam" He said walking ahead

Shehnaaz followed him as he lead them to black colour SUV. He opened door for her before she could forward her hand to, she awkwardly smiled at him and get inside car which made tahir to close door behind and get inside passenger seat

There his residence was huge than one in Karachi, it wasn't simple bungalow but this residence contain many bungalows inside with one large garden connecting them. There are different departments inside like security and medical. Yesterday she came to know there are 6 kitchen here, she was beyond stunned. This all make sense to her since this city is base of their party, formation of party was started here

But this was all very much scary for her only staff lives here and in the main bungalow where she stays no staff are allowed to stay because it's Sidharth's part of estate. She didn't get sleep all night thinking about possibly of Jin watching her asleep, she even asked one maid to sleep in same room but she would rather die than sleep in room of their party leader. She wanted to tell this to Sidharth but he will surely get that maid scold so she let it be

Shehnaaz slowly made her way inside with lab coat already in her hands. She glanced at elder lady who's name was ruksana, she's head housekeeper of this whole gabol estate. She greeted her who greeted back as Shehnaaz took seat in sofa of living room and that's when her phone rang which was in her purse

She opened her purse to look at caller Id. It was her mother in law. Mrs gabol, she immediately answered call and speak with her for while. Later when she ended call she saw text messages from Zain, Aryaan, maham, amna and even Mrs Narejo but her weirdly her husband hasn't called her yet. He calls her literally every other hour to check and talk to her. She was about to dial his number

"Madam dinner?" Ruksana asked standing in front of her. Shehnaaz looked up at her

"I don't feel like eating tonight so I'll just skip it" Shehnaaz told her politely and stand up collecting her things and before ruksana could ask her again she walked away towards her room

She laid down on bed and within seconds she was asleep because of sleepless nights and exhaustion of working today

Larkana
10 pm

"I'm really disappointed in you tumhe kya lagta hai mujhe nahi pata how you people use budgets of Sindh departments so don't try to fool me and make it work faster Mir" Sidharth hand over file that he has in his hands to Mir, who's Finance minster of province

      He walked ahead inside his estate with dark and intimidating aura around him which is always present when he's with others. He gazed at minister with darken gaze waiting for his answer

"Sir I won't dare to fool you I really have assigned budget to agriculture department as you ordered I'm sure jo officers neche hai they have share it with each other" Mir told him while walking beside him towards his bungalow in gabol estate

"Who's their director?" Sidharth stoped turning towards his secretary which made everyone else also stop whoever were with him including his guards

"Anwar Siyal hai current director do you want me to summon him for you tomorrow?" His secretary asked, he looked ahead thinking for seconds before looking back at him and nodded his head

"Leave you all" He ordered which caused everyone to immediately listen to him and leave

     Sidharth walked inside lounge of his bungalow and staff instantly rush towards him after knowing he's here. He always inform before arriving or if he has plans to, it's rare for him to come without any notice

"A salam-o-alaikum sir" Ruksana greeted him

"Walaikumsalam " He greeted back elder woman with poker face. He was about to walk away when ruksana's voice stoped him

"Sir, madam went to sleep without having dinner tonight and before I cou-"

"Lekr ayo khana kamre mein" He cut her off in middle roughly and went towards his room

"Madam is very soft and innocent while sir is you know aggressive and cold how do they manage?" One of them whisper to another

"Haina mein bhi yahi soch rahi thi-"

"Bakwas band karo tum dono sir ne suna na toh dono ke pass naukri nahi hogi" Ruksana scold them making them look down

Sidharth pushed open door of his room and closed it behind. He walked inside with eyes on his wife who was sleeping in covers even tho air condition was turned off, he kept his coat over velvet sofa in room and reached for ac remote which was on dressing table. He turned on av before making his way towards bed

He set down beside where she was sleeping peacefully, her breaths were soft and lips parted. He caress skin of her cheeks gently before leaning down to kiss on her forehead, she moved slightly. He really can't stay away from her

"Shehnaaz" She patted her cheeks gently. She pushed his hand away with low moan and turned around

"Shehnaaz utho meri jaan" He called again reaching for her shoulder and shake her

She again pushed his hand away and was about to pull covers over her head when he pulled her up to sit up straight. She groan not understanding what's happening with her, she half opened her eyes to look at him with annoyed expression

"Mujhe bhut neend arahi hai na karen tang!" She glared at him

"Khana khao phir sojana" He said as she rested her head in his shoulder and hugged his arm

He let her do it until ruksana comes with food. There was knock on door, he allowed person to enter. There was ruksana with food tray, Sidharth asked her to come closer and keep tray beside him. She did as he told her to

"Wake up" He shake her yet again. She open her sleepy eyes to look at him. She still has no idea what's going on and why he's here, she just want to sleep

"Mujhe nahi khana kuch bhi sone de I haven't sleep for 2 days" She murmured wrapping arms around him and buried face in his neck

"Soyi kyun nahi yeh 2 din se? Did she had any trouble why didn't you tell me about it?" Sidharth demanded from rusksana

"S-sir I have no idea-"

"Mujhe gussa na dilao yeh keh kar ke tumhe pata nahi" Sidharth warned her. Ruksana was actually sweating because him being angry at someone means they lose job

"Madam was actually scared to sleep alone she asked me to sleep in this room with her but l refused since it's your room...I think isliye wo so nahi payin hain" Ruksana told him. Sidharth clenched his jaw while glaring at her, no one knows better than how much she's scared of these things and effect they leave on her

"You are telling me now-Leave" Sidharth order her to but she stood there with guilt and fear "I said fucking leave" He kept his voice low because his wife was sleeping. Ruksana understood that if she stays or say anything it will only anger him so she left right after

Sidharth check forehead and wrist of Shehnaaz for any sign of fewer, she was little bit hot. He laid her back in bed and went to turn off ac, he pulled out phone from his coat and called someone

—

"She's perfectly fine Sidharth" His high school class fellow and doctor zimrat said after examining shehanaz

"She won't be coming for your fucking camp tomorrow zimrat" Sidharth told her coldly. Zimrat wore her stethoscope around her neck and stood up from bed

"Ek waqt hota tha jab tumhe doctors zehr lagte the now your wife is studying to be one. I dare you call her stupid now" She dared him with smirk. Sidharth rolled his eyes and opened door of his room

"Expect her everyone is stupid for me who studies medical go and check population of doctors in country itne doctors ka kya karenge hum? Alag island banaye ge?" He asked her

"You are just jealous of us" Zimrat said. He scoffed

"Sure. Now leave at once" He signal towards exist rudely

"I'm senior of your wife show some respect at least"She sighed folding her arms

"I don't have time for this all leave before I make your transfer to some village area" He threatened her, she shake her head before leaving the room. He closed door as soon as she left

Sidharth turned around to look at her sleeping figure. He advance towards bed and set down on edge to take off his shoes and right after doing that he got inside bed with her. He faced her and wrapped arm around her waist
