63. REVELATION BRINGS PAIN

The smile on her face was friendly but it gave me an odd feeling… her stare on my face was like as if we knew each other or at least she knows me….well, as a star may be she knows me but the look in her eyes was giving me strange feelings.. making me uncomfortable.

“so, Hussain Asif! I wonder if I have heard any other name more than I have heard yours” She said with a sigh, a smile was plastered on her face and I frowned. I didn’t know how to give response so I kept silent.

“I knew it, you would visit a psychiatrist once in your life… u have to but you will come to visit ME…. well, this was completely unexpected.” She said in the same tone and my frown went deeper I guess.

“Yeah! I knew it as well… I knew that mera kuch nai hona, I will end up into a psychiatrist’s room one day.” I said, a bit of sarcasm evident in my tone and she chuckled.

“No, I didn’t mean that…. Khair, lets discuss that later” she shook her head, getting a bit serious this time….. “so, what made you come here? Hussain” she asked.

“well, my cousin thinks you are hot and I should meet you” I said in a very serious way and she, for a moment went speechless then a smile spread across her face.

“I take is as a compliment… but I guess in that case your cousin should have been here instead of you” She said with a wink and I chuckled.

“I am perfectly fine…in fact I don’t know what am doing here” I said bluntly and she looked at my face closely, coming into her psycho mode I guess.

“but I know” she said seriously and I frowned…. “I know why did you come here” she added.

“yeah! because you already knew that Hussain Asif will end up into some psychic fits and would come to see a psychiatrist” I said and I guess she got my irony… and smiled shaking her head.

“Hussain! bara mashhoor kissa hea….kehte hen, Maar Majnoo ko perti thi or neel Laila ke jism per aatey thy. Wesey he Qaid Laila ko kiya gaya or Dard Majnoo ko hota tha” she said out of blue and I was like… what the fuck! Am I here sitting to listen to those idiotic laila majnoo stories. I tried hard to stop my self from rolling my eyes.

“that’s why I knew it… that one day somewhere in this big world Hussain Asif would be sitting in front of a psychiatrist… trying to sort out his pain” I felt I heard wrong, was she really talking about my pain? Which I haven’t still discussed it with her… neither had any intention of doing that.

“Q k jis ki Laila itne dard mein ho… wo Majnoo kab tak sakoon se ji sakta hea!” She said with a light smile making me look up at her face at once and I felt my palms sweating.

Where was she heading with all that? What was she talking about?

“I know your pain Hussain, you don’t have to tell me anything…” she shook her head lightly.

“What.. What do you mean? What are you talking about?” I finally spoke up.

“You know what and whom am talking about Hussain” She said seriously.

“I had a 5 years contract with WHO, worked 2 years in Bangol more than 3 years in Pakistan” she said and I looked up at her face… Pakistan?

“She was my first patient over there and..

“patient?” I felt I heard wrong, was she really talking about her? but patient? How? why?

“yeah! Hussain… Mannat Salaar was my patient” I felt my throat went dry all at once… Mannat Salaar! An unintentional smile spread on my face, a smile full of pain. This was the name which was once my life… my happiness.

“What.. what happened?” I asked, still looking down.

“She had extreme OCD” she said and getting my expressions she sighed before going into the details…..of that horrible sounding thing “that’s an obsessive compulsive disorder Hussain, people who are deeply hurt and are afraid of themselves or others. They loose the will power for staying alive… for becoming happy again” I just couldn’t say any thing.

“She… She tried to shoot herself Hussain” I felt I became a stone statue… my breathing caught up and heartbeat stopped as I looked up to meet her gaze. She looked sad… really sad.

“She…. what?” I was in a trauma… utmost shock it was for me, Mannat tried to.. tried to kill herself?

“Here, have it Hussain” she slowly extended a glass of water towards me and I just looked at it…blankly, completely lost. Out of words…..

“How is she?” I asked ignoring the glass of water and she put it down in front of me. slowly she stood up from her chair and came to my side.

“She is fine… or should I say alive, at least” she said and sat on a chair next to me.

“I can feel your pain Hussain! for three years she was there in Islamabad rehab centre and she..

“Three years?... did you just say three YEARS?” I felt deep pain throughout my body and I fisted my hands… trying to contain myself.

“Yes! three years Hussain…. she went through a hell of pain” She said almost into a whisper as if she could feel the pain too…. “I wonder how can a person love any one that much? Her love for you was nothing but a load of pain….but still the first word I heard from her mouth was “Hussain” and the last as well”  She put her hand on my shoulder as my eyes went wet and I constantly bitting my lips to control myself.

Itne arsey baad tumhara ziker aaya bhi to kahan or kesey Mannat! q kia tum ne ye sab? Mere sath khud k sath? I gulped down the pain.

“But she.. she didn’t want to live with me, she….” I just didn’t know what the hell to say.

“I don’t know what happened between you two exactly…what she did to you, but one thing was for sure that she wrote her own fate with her own hands Hussain! and she wrote only pain in that” Slowly I raised my hand and wiped something wet from the corner of my eye.

“its been a couple of years that I am back to my home town…. Here in Chicago but for last 6 years… I wanted to meet you Hussain” she said and I slowly looked at her.

“ek bar tum se milna chahti thi… dekhna chahti thi k aesa kia tha tum mein, aesa kia tha tumharey ishq mein k usey deewana bana diya. Na usey khud ka hosh raha na kisi or ka…. Bus ek he nam leti thi, neend mein, behoshi mein… dard mein… bus ek he nam….. Hussain!” she said and I just stared her face completely speechless.

“she wanted divorce.. and I … I gave her.” this is all I could utter out of that hell pain I was going through.

“I know… her mother told me all about her craze for you” she chuckled lightly…. “she told me about your marriage and then the divorce. I don’t know what exactly happened but tum ne theek nai kiya Hussain.. tum ne

“Theek nai kia? Are you saying theek nai kia?” I cut her in the middle and almost yelled….. “she wanted divorce…. She was the one who didn’t trust my love, she blamed ME for the death of her father… she was the one who didn’t want to live with me” I felt my breathing went heavier with every word. She simply looked at my face saying nothing…

“I loved her… I loved her damn it! she was my first and last love” I felt pain somewhere in side… in my heart or maybe my soul was in pain.

“I went to Pakistan for her… after all that she did to me I went for her but she wanted a divorce, nafrat… us ne kaha wo nafrat kerti hea muj se” I looked down as a tear came out of my eye.

“6 years… 6 years I couldn’t sleep properly, I still remember it was the morning of 7th September 2016 when for the last time I slept peacefully... in her arms, like in a dream.. like.. like the happiest man on earth” I felt her hand was again on my shoulder and I just kept on looking down, controlling my tears…. My pain.

“I have gone through enough pain Doctor! I wasn’t at peace at all” I shook my head.

“Jao us k pass Hussain… you both need each other, tum dono ek doosrey k bager kuch bhi nai ho. I can see the same pain on your face… in your tears” She said and I gulped down.

“she is… she must be married to her

“No” she cut me in the middle and I looked up at her face….. “that domestic violence was the reason she tried to kill her self Hussain! but…” she stopped in the middle and I looked at questioningly 

“But?”

“her husband was the one who got the bullet” she said and my eyes went wide…. Like, what?

“Shehroz?” I asked and she kept quiet.

“He tried to stop her… and during that it triggered off and he got paralysed, the lower half of his body was completely lost Hussain. they fired a case on Mannat but… but she was completely off that time, her mental state was poor so the court ordered her to stay in a Rehab” she explained and I went numb.

“after 2 years…. Her father in law took the case back with the divorce” She added and I at once looked at her face.

“Divorce?” I mouthed, so much she went through… so much pain, divorce again? God! I held my head in my hands and she pressed her hand over my shoulder.

“Hussain! chale jao us k pass, its never too late” She said and I looked up at her face, I didn’t care I had tears in my eyes and they were rolling down now…

“Wo kal bhi tumhari thi… aj bhi tumhari he hea Hussain, in fact I think you two are a new addition in those famous love stories; Romeo Juliet, Heer ranjha… Laila Majnoo…. So now we have Mannat Hussain!” she smiled warmly at me.

“Itne dard k bad… how will she… ho will she even

“Hussain!” she cut me in the middle… “don’t even think that she will be mad at you… teen saal mein ne us k moo se tumhare liye kabhi koi aesi bat nai suni, in fcat at one point I started having that farishta kind of image.. for you” she chuckled at the end.

“I wanted to meet you and to know that kia ghol ker pila diya tha bachi ko… she was completely insane in your love Hussain, itni muhabbat k ishq lafz bhi kam per jae us k liye” she looked in awe… so was I. … ‘and I know that you must be equally in her ishq man, its so obvious in your tears” She smiled and I looked down once again.

“Now get up and go….you two are supposed and meant to be together, like for always.. forever” She stood up from that chair and I was still there on mine, frozen.

I slowly looked at her, she was smiling at me… I stood up and… and hugged her making her gasped on this sudden, unexpected action but then she wrapped her arms at my back, patting assuringly.

“thanks…. I don’t know how am I going to repay you, thanks” I whimpered and I felt she chuckled.

“that’s okay hero!” she said and I pulled back, slightly feeling embarrassed at what the hell I just did… but she was smiling warmly at me…. “just bring her back into your life… and yeah! do pay a visit. I would love to meet her once again… but happy and smiling this time” she said and I nodded, smiling lightly.

I headed towards the exit… its so strange just in mater of half hour and things changed completely. My heart was in deep pain… my soul wounded how could I do that to her? I should have stayed, I should have tried to dig out the reason why she did that? I was an ass hole…. A complete jerk, just because of me she went through all that… or mujhe khaber tak nai hui.

“Hussain Asif?” I was in deep thoughts when suddenly somebody held my arm making me stop and I looked at my left, there stood a woman… looking in her thirties, looking at me as if she has found her lost treasure. Her eyes shinning and a smile was there on her face…

“yeah! I am” I said in a trance, from which I didn’t come out yet.

“I was trying to trace you for so long…. But I just couldn’t reach you” She said and I felt moisture in her eyes.

“Um.. do we know eachother?” I asked trying not to sound rude and she nodded her head.

“you don’t know me but I do…. Hussain! you have to come with me. koi hai jo… jo tum se milna chahta hea” She said in kind of an urgency and I frown.

“Am sorry… couldn’t get you” I said and she shook her head.

“Please just come with me… its important Hussain!its.. its my sister, she needs to talk to you” She stated and I saw my guards who were standing at the far corner of the lobby now paced towards us.

“Am .. am sorry! Maybe some other time” I tried to get out of this and headed towards the lift but she followed me.

“Hussain! its important for you… please ek bar, just come and meet her” She almost begged and I felt irritated, what the hell.

“Excuse me Mam! Please” one of my guards tried to block her way.

“Hussain! she is dying” she yelled out and my feet halted in my tracks, I slowly looked at my back. She was in tears…. What was today?tears day?the whole world was celebrating it I guess.

“Its her last wish…. Us ko jeete ji sakoon nai mila, mager ek bar mil lo us se kia pata merne k baad shanti mil jae us ki aatma ko” she said in between tears and I looked down… trying to think what should I be doing.

Mannat was the only thing I had on my mind right now… but last wish? She was dying? God! I looked at my guards and signalled them to move away.

MEETA’S POV

I was here to collect my sister’s reports as she was in a hell of mental trauma for last few months when I saw him…..I knew that he was in Chicago for the Ifa but… here? in the Rehab centre? What was he doing here? I didn’t even have the slightest idea that Hussain would meet me like this… I have been trying to trace him for last whole year and today we met like this. Bhagwaan ka shuker!

He looked at me then looked away as if he was hell frustrated and irritated right now, tears rolling down my cheeks and I kept on wiping them away… he signalled his guard to get off and getting his expressions I stepped in the lift along with him, his guards stood there like robots and I couldn’t say anything.

we came out and without saying anything he just kept on heading towards the exit…. His expressions weird, as if he was in pain and relief at the same time. I kept on running after him as his pace was fast.

“My car is that way” I pointed towards the parking but he didn’t reply at all, rather he took out his cell phone and started dialling some numbers.

“Shehry!... yar I will be late a bit” He said and next moment a smile appeared on his face, he looked good when smiles. I thought to myself.

“No Man! Will tell you once I will be home….” He said, moving his hand in his hair sighing deep and then hung up.

 I saw a metalic Mercedes Benz came swiftly and stopped near us. His guard opened the door wide for him but he stepped aside and with his hand he gestured me to sit in first… for a moment I looked at him then sat in and he closed the door. Coming to the other side he opened the door himself and sat inside….

“Address” he stated without looking at me, while putting on his shades and I told his driver my address.

The whole way we kept quiet… he kept on looking out of the window and I every now and then glanced towards him. he looked lost… as if he was mentally somewhere else. After a swift 30 minutes drive the car stopped in front of my apartment.

“Hussain!” I called him as he looked completely lost in his thoughts and couldn’t realize we were stopped already.

‘hm” he looked at me absent mindedly and I looked out of the window, he looked at his right and sighed.

“What happened to your sister?” he asked as we stepped inside.

“She… she was diagnosed with blood cancer and its.. its her last stage Hussain!” I said and his expressions suddenly went grim.

“Am sorry” he almost said into a whisper.

‘She has already gone through a lot Hussain! I don’t know what she wanted to talk to you… but please! Be nice to her” I said and he frowned.

“this way” I pointed towards the lobby, we headed towards room and I slowly turned the knob. I saw the nurse was giving her some medicine in her IV, I looked back at him who was standing there looking down.

“Aao” I said and he slowly stepped inside, he stopped at the door while I headed to her bed.

“Hey! You look better” I said as I reached her bed and she weakly looked at me, trying to force a smile… but she couldn’t.

“look who is here” I said and looked at my back, he slowly moved forward. His eyes were on the bed but he couldn’t recognize her I guess. He stopped near the bed and I felt his eyes went wide in shock and astonishment… his frown went deeper as their eyes met.

“Shee.. Sheetal?” he almost uttered into a whisper and Sheetal just stared his face in fear… she tried to get up when I hurriedly held her from her shoulders, Hussain just kept on standing there in shock.

“What… What happened? How? When?” he asked, I offered a seat and he slowly sat down, with his gaze fixed on Sheetal’s weak and pale face.

“Hussain Asif!” Sheeta uttered his name and tried hard to open her eyes properly but she was blinking too much. I slowly stepped aside and signaled the nurse to leave as well…..

“Sheetal ye sab… ye sab kab hua?” I heard Hussain asking in concern, I stood there on the door.

“5 saal ho gaye” She stated in a flat tone, no pain or remorse was there in her tone. … “am stated as a hopeless case Hussain, just wanted to meet you before its too late” She said and I gulped down the pain.

“Sheetal! Jana to sab ko he hea…. But don’t loose hope like this. You should be

“No” Sheetal cut him in the middle… “No, I don’t want to live.. live any more. i don’t nee.. need any sympathies as well. I just.. I just need forgiveness Hussain” I heard her saying, I felt her voice breaking down.

“Forgiveness?” there was confusion in his voice.

“whatever I did with you Hussain….. this.. this is my punishment but I have suffered a lot, I don’t want my soul to suffer now. please… pleas” she broke up.

“Sheetal! Calm down” I peaked in and saw him sitting with her on the brim of her bed now, holding her hand.

“I forgave you… you just

“Naheee” he stated when she yelled out… “Naheen! You don’t know what I have done Hussain, you… you just don’t know” she said in between tears.

“Whatever you have done with me… Sheetal I forgive you for that” Hussain said softly and tears started rolling down my cheeks again.

“or jo kuch… jo kuch mein ne us k sath kiya wo?” Sheetal asked.

“Us k sath? kis k

“Mannat k sath” Sheetal said in a flat tone and for so many moments Hussain didn’t reply, my heart started pounding.

“What… what have you done with her?” his tone slightly rigid now.

“An.. Angad he.. he had kidnapped her Hussain”Sheetal stated and I saw Hussain got up from the bed.

“what?” He was in hell shock.

“he.. he wanted revenge, he wanted you to suffer. He wan

“But why Mannat?” Hussain yelled and I felt a shiver deep down my spine.

“because he knew that… that she saved your life by… by donating you her liver” Sheetal said and Hussain just stared her face.

“That accident?... Angad did that?” Hussain asked in shock and I saw Sheetal nodded her head.

“he knew that and… and he knew that you were married and in love with each other… he… Angad wanted to break you down and… and

“And what?” Hussain yelled again.

“And he knew that to break you… he needed to break her first” She said, looking down and I saw tears flowing down her eyes now.

“What did he do to her?” Hussain asked, fisting his hands and Sheetal didn’t reply back…. “WHAT DID HE DO TO HER?” I shivered at his tone.

“He… he made her go against you in the court” Sheetal stated and Hussain almost fell on the chair in front of her. … he was whispering something I couldn’t get from the distance but he looked drenched… lost and shocked.

“He? he made her do that?” Disbelief evident in his tone.

“Hussain! mein ye dar.. dard deserve kerti thi, Angad left me and pain accepted me in its arms….”I felt the nurse put her hand on my shoulder as my breath hitched up in my throat…. “Bhagwan k liye maaf ker do mujhe, maaf ker do werna meri aatma ko kabhi shanti nai mile gi” Sheetal broke up into tears and Hussain just sat there still shocked.

“my fault was that I loved Angad and couldn’t stop him….” Sheetal said, her voice shattered like her heart.

“Mager Mannat se mil ker laga k muhabbat to kabhi… kabhi ki he nai mein ne. mein to.. mein to Sauda ker rai thi” Sheetal said into a trance…. “Muhabbat k badley muhabbat mang rai thi, sauda ker rai thi…. Muhabbat to Mannat ne ki thi, tumhara sara dard le ker sare gham samet liye tumharey us ne… chahe badley mein usey kuch na mil paya” Sheetal said looking into space and Hussain got up from the chair, he looked broken as well.

“Hussain! Hussain aese mat jao… mujhe maf kiye bager, Bhagwan k liye forgive me” Sheetal tried to get up as she saw Hussain leaving but fell back on the bed and Hussain hurried back towards her.

“hey! Somebody here!....” he yelled aloud holding her in his arms and we ran inside.

“Huss.. Hussain!” Sheetal looked at him with half closed eyes as we made her lie back on the bed. He just stood there, his eyes bloodshot. Sheetal looked at me and I nodded my head, understanding what she wanted and headed to wards her closet. Taking out a small pouch I came back to her.

“ye.. ye Manna.. Mannat k liye thi, mager.. mager Anagad ne … us ne di he nai kabhi usey” Sheetal pointed towards the pouch and I up zipped it, taking about a small flash I gave it to Hussain.

“I.. I want you.. to… to watch it” Sheetal stammered and he didn’t reply at all.

“And please! Ask her to forgive me… Ask Man.. Maanat to forgive me Huss

She was in the middle of her sentence when the nurse was done injecting her medicine into the drip she was having and her eyes shut down…

I looked at Hussain who was holding the flash tight in his hand and was taking steps backwards… his gaze fixed on Sheetal’s face. I couldn’t stop him… though I wanted to comfort him but I just couldn’t. His back bumped with the wall at his back and he blinked his eyes as if he came out of some trance…. Looking down he stepped towards the door and headed out.

HUSSAIN’S POV

“Sir! Sir! Car… Sir!” I heard my guard calling me at my back as I stepped out of her apartment and started walking don’t know where.

“Sir!” he ran towards me and I looked at him absent mindedly.

“Are you okay Sir?” he asked looking at my drenched face and I looked down slowly, the flash was still in my hand and I was completely out of mind.

“Driver! Bring the car” he looked back and yelled out.

“Sir! Please….” He opened the door as my car reached near me and I almost fell inside.

“take me to the hotel” I said to the driver and he nodded.

I wanted to cry… I wanted to yell out my frustration and pain and I knew all this wasn’t possible at home with all of them.

Coming to my room in the hotel I asked Umer not to disturb me at all…. and stepping inside I turned on the screen plastered on the main wall. I inserted the flash in the slot and stood there holding my breath…. 

Something appeared on the screen and I checked the volume, it was okay… I waited and suddenly my eyes went wide, coming out of their sockets. She was there …. She…

“Mannat!” a dying whisper came out of my mouth as I saw her lying on the floor with her hands tied up and mouth covered with a masking tape. I stepped towards the screen her eyes were half closed and hair all over the floor… I felt she was looking at me, raising my hand I touched her face over the screen and a tear escaped my eye.

Suddenly I heard a sound… and her eyes went open, wide in fear and tension. She tried to get up but her feet were tied up too… she shut her eyes tight as if she was hell afraid of something.

“Mannat!” her name came out of my lips in pain.

“I guess I have given you enough time already Mannat!” the voice was coming closer and I recognized it… Angad. I fisted my hands… Mannat looked afraid as hell.

“So, what have you decided?” He came and bent down near her, she tried to back off as I saw tears started rolling down her cheeks, my breath caught up in my throat.

“oh! Am sorry…” he said and raised his hand towards her mouth and she moved her face aside, my heartbeat was racing up inside my cage as Angad removed the tape form her mouth harshly and she let out a sharp breath.

“I have told you… do your worst, am not going to do this” Mannat yelled aloud spatting on his face and he fisted his hand in her hair, making her sit straight on the floor…. Mannat winced in pain and I fisted my hands.

“Kerna to parey ga Mannat! werna yad rakho… tumhari aankhon k samne khatam ker doon ga tumhare Ashiq ko… and you wont be able to protect him this time” Angad snapped and Mannat shut her eyes tight and tears rolled down.

“I wont go against him… never! Khuda k liye baksh do usey, q peechey pare ho us k” Mannat wept.

“you will go against him, life is far important than career or love Mannat… try to understand” I felt his grip in her hair went tighter as he jerked her a little and she cried in pain…. “what will you do with this love when Hussain will be no more alive for having it?”he added and I shivered.

“you don’t know what I can do  with him Mannat!... you want a demo?” Angad asked and she looked at him, I felt her body was shivering visibly.

“wait” he let go of her hair and untie her feet… then her hands and almost jerked her up on her feet by holding her arm.

“Ahh! Let me go…..” Mannat yelled but he dragged her towards the window and peaked outside from the glass.

“Abhi do minute mein Hussain will come out of the building and move towards his car…..yahan se trigger dabaoon ga to kahan puhanchey ga wo, janti ho?” Angad asked and Mannat looked at his face in disbelief.

“No, Nahi… please! You can’t do this to him” She wept and Angad smiled nodding his head.

“I will… but only you can save his life, if you want to” he said and looked out of the window…. Then slowly he took out a gun from his coat’s pocket.

“Naheen…. Please! Please don’t… stop” Mannat held his hand in hers but he jerked it off.

“It has a silencer on it… nobody would hear it mager han! Us ki cheekh zaroor door door tak sunai de gi jo tum

“naheeen! Nahi nahi….” Mannat yelled and then jerking her arm off his grip she started banging on the window.

“Hussain!... Hus… Hussaiiin!”Angad held her arms and dragging her back, he almost threw her on the bed… I was so numb that I just stood there in front of the screen… paralysed… stunned!

“husssain! Nahee”she was crying… yelling and I was standing there in front of the screen helpless, like I have lost everything. I couldn’t even move… couldn’t think my eyes glued on the screen on her face.

“Kia chahte ho tum?” Mannat yelled .

“Go against him in the court” Angad said casually.

“What good will it bring to you?” Mannat gritted her teeth and Angad sighed deep.

“Aaah! Only if you knew… well, Mannat there are two things man can not bare; badnami… and dhoka” Angad stated and I felt my palms went sweating.

“Us k khilaf court mein gawaahi do… and then ask for divorce” Angad said

“No, I will never do this” Mannat snapped in anger and Angad stepped towards her who hurriedly backed off, still on the bed.

“Then what I will do… don’t blame me for that, because you will be the reason for that… you can save him, his life…just over this small condition” Angad spatted bending down on her and I felt my heart would come out any minute as Mannat kept on crying and shivering badly.

“I promise that I wont hurt him any more… and I guess there wont be any need of hurting him then, you will be enough” Angad said and I felt Mannat’s pain in my heart as she broke down in to a painful sob.

“there…” he pointed towards the camera…. “there it is, have it with you once you are going back. This is the biggest evidence Mannat! if ever you will find me hurting him again… give this in police” Angad said and Mannat’s breath hitched up.

“its recording everything Mannat” he added and her gaze fixed on the camera.

I felt she was looking at me… in my eyes in my soul. I touched her face and my tears just didn’t stop, slowly she looked down and I felt my heart would stop beating any minute.

“tum kis kisam k insan ho?...you are not even a human” Mannat spatted again in deep pain, helplessness evident on her pale face and Angad laughed a little.

“I take it as a compliment…. Now say yes! hussain ko dard mein kab tak dekho gi?” Angad said and she closed her eyes tight.

“manzoor hai mujhe” Mannat said and opened her eyes, his back was towards me I couldn’t see his face….

“but remember one thing… jis din Hussain ko pata chal gaya ye sab, us din tumhari zindagi ka aahri din ho ga” Mannat said in a stern tone.

“wo muj se itni muhabbat kerta hea k tum to kia… tumhari naslon ko nai chore ga” Mannat spatted and Angad held her hair in his fist once again harshly and I shivered deep down as she yelled in pain. He dragged her off the bed and threw her on the floor at one corner.

“get ready then… because kuch he der mein tumhara Hussain jail mein ho ga” Angad snapped and he stepped out of the room closing it harshly at his back.

My eyes fixed on her.. her half dead body, she bent down her knees and hugging her self she broke up…. Crying and yelling she was taking my name and I felt my blood went dry and my heart was missing in my chest. I couldn’t feel my heart beat at all….

“Hussain!... am sorr… am sorry Hussain! am sorry” she was whispering in between her tears, hiding her face in her hands.

I couldn’t see any more… I just couldn’t bare it, my head was spinning badly.

“Naheen ho sakta yea! Itna dard? Itni takleef sirf meri waja se?”

“he made her go against you”

“she had obsessive compulsive disorder” how could I let all this happen to her? how could I?

“us ne tumhare sarey dard le ker…. Tumharey sare gham samet liye”

“I haven’t heard any name more than I have heard yours Hussain”

“She was my first patient there”

“She tried to shoot herself”

“mein tumhen talaq deta hoon….talaq deta hoon… talaq…. No! No! I yelled in pain.

I wanted to throw up, all at once I felt suffocated… as if somebody stepped up on my windpipe, it became difficult to breathe. Taking off my coat I threw it on the bed and un tucked my shirt’s buttons. I wanted air… I want to breathe but I just couldn’t…. holding my head in my hands I fell down on the bed.

UMER’S POV

I was busy looking for the flight details on my laptop as I heard a voice and I looked up, it came from Hussain’s room? I got up and slowly headed towards the bedroom. Though he had ordered us not to disturb him but I couldn’t stop myself when I heard a voice… as if something broke up inside.

“Sir! Hussain Sir!’ I knocked on his door but he didn’t reply.

Suddenly I heard a loud thrashing sound, I could feel Hussain was yelling inside… a sudden panic engulfed me as I called for the master card for his bedroom.

“Hussain Sir!” entering into the room my eyes went out of their sockets as I saw everything was messed up. Chairs fallen and the bed sheet and mattress completely out of place. I looked around didn’t find him in the room. I stepped towards the wash room and found the door wide open… entering inside my heartbeat stopped as I saw him fallen on the floor he looked terrible. His shirt’s buttons open and expressions lost he was lying on the floor with his arms wide spread. His face clearly drenched as if he had thrown up.

“Sir! Sir” I bent down over him and lightly patted his cheeks but he didn’t open his yes.

“Hussain Sir!” I got hell panicked, his body was so cold I felt shivers deep down.

“Oh God! what am gonna do now” I looked around and without thinking anything I took out his mobile phone and checked his contacts… for a couple of moment I checked the numbers and I got it in the call logs and dialled his numbers, he wasn’t picking up.

“Guards!... Guards!” I yelled out a loud as I tried to pick him up

“Sam! Call the doctor… hurry up” I saw the guard coming, I almost yelled he glanced over Hussain’s body with shocked expressions. We both picked him up and bringing him out of the bathroom we put him on the bed and Sam ran outside to call some medical assistance if the hotel have some.

I looked at Hussain’s body and dialled the numbers again….

“hello!” I heard his voice.

“Shehryaar Sir?” I asked

“Sir! Hussain Sir has fainted, ap log please aa jaiye… pata nai unhen kia ho gaya hea” I blurted out without thinking.

“Yeah! in the hotel…. The guards will bring you to his room, u will find them on the reception” I told him.

“Please jaldi kejiye” we hung up, I looked closely at his face and found the corner of his eyes wet.

 MANNAT'S END
