CHAPTER 26: THE SAVIOURS

HEER'S POV

humein kuch samajh naheen a raha tha hum kahan ja rahe thy... qadam kaheen or thy dherkan kaheen aur.

The only thing I could understand the moment was my daughter in my arms and the most important thing was to save her life, I thought to go to the police station but then this sudden fear engulfed me that what if they call Arsalan or at my home and inform them about me, being there.... no, I cant take risks.

Ghar ja nai saktey thy wo to police se bhi ziada khaternak option tha...Abba kaan se paker ker Arsalan k hawaley ker detey.

Amaan roti rehteen aansoo bahati rehteen or hamesha ki terha kuch ker na pateen.

I did't know what time it was, my clutch was held tight under my arm with my cell phone inside it, I couldn't open it up and check the time because my hands were occupied with Emaan. My chadder was half over my head, half falling down touching the muddy road and my eyes were wide open and alert.

Finding a shed in front of a shabby looking shop I halted and sat down on the footstep, trying to catch my breath keeping Emaan in my lap I looked around... it was utmost silence and I realized it must be quite late. I was looking down at her face and thinking she must be hungry.... I fed her last time a couple of hours back, suddenly my heart panicked her silent pale face was unusually calm and I hurriedly removed the blanket a little from her, feeling her heartbeats I gulped down... as my heartbeats relaxed a little.

How would I feed her here? Looking around I tried to find a safe place, it was a wide street, hardly any vehicle was passing by.

But it's too dark here and nobody is in sight.... maybe I should...... I looked down at her face and covered her with the blanket once again when she moved in my arms, my eyes fixed on her face when I felt movement in her eyelids, her long eyelashes shivered and I held her tight with me...trying to protect her from cold.

Her eyes slowly opened and she looked at me, a smile appeared on my lips looking down at her face and I bent down kissing her forehead softly inhaling her fragrance.

I got up and was about to move into a darker area at the corner of the street when suddenly my heart shivered as my cell phone rang up, in that pitch dark silence that sound felt like a heart wrenching cry, I sat down hurriedly and hastily took out the cell phone from the clutch which was continuously ringing.

Looking at the screen a frown appeared on my forehead, I could not recognize the number... it was still ringing I cut it hurriedly with trembling hands and putt it on vibration I was putting it in the clutch when it rung again and I stared at the screen breathing heavily....

Kon ho sakta hea?Arsalan?...Naheen my heart shivered at the mare thought of it and I cancelled the call again.

I got up and walked towards a dark corner of the street, Emaan was making quiet faint sounds and I knew she was hungry...

"Kahan ja rahi ho madam?"

My feet halted and my grip over Emaan went extremely firm, my heart raced up as I heard a sound from a distance.

"Kon hea wahan?" I took a step back with my breath caught up in my throat, it was a hoarse deep voice as if the person was drunk or something, my eyes started pooling up and I turned to run for my life when I heard foot steps coming closer, my arm got into tight painful grip and I winced in pain.

SHEHRY'S POV

"So Shehryar Asif! more likely to be called as Shehry" The intimidating kind of the host held the mike to her mouth as she spoke with a flaunting smile plastered on her face and I smiled. "you have become the recent look-up-to kind of a person for our coming new young talent, what does it feel like? Getting all this praise, all so sudden in life?" she held the mike now to my mouth.

"Am used to getting praises you know so it's not new" I said smirking with shrugging my shoulders and she laughed along with me.

"Well jokes apart, It feels great obviously, and I seriously do not consider myself as high on the peak as you just mentioned" I chuckled a little and she smiled. "but yeah one day Inn Shaa Allah I will be there and then of course I will come back to you, to answer the later part of your question" I added thinking and she giggled.

"there is one more question which has been asked a lot on facebook... on twitter" she started saying. "how easy or how difficult it was to get linked with directors like Sarmad Sultan Khoosat and producers like Tahira Wasti, which are no more just names but brands themselves" she asked, I could hear only noises around me...the club was thumping with music and voices... she had to yell almost.

"Umm it was really hard, I mean I just almost killed myself for...

"Shut the crap up, man!" I was in the middle of the fun when I felt a tap over my shoulder and Sarmad came standing beside me. "Do not go to whatever he is saying Natasha! he might be an awesome director but is ki adaakari abhi nai dekhi apne" Sarmad warned the host and I smiled.

"It wasn't he who came to me actually it was me who offered him the movie" Sarmad said and the girl looked at me impressively. "And it was one of the most impulsive, quickest yet the best decision I ever took" he added seriously and I smiled.

"It is so evident from the success you get from your work and we all are desperately waiting for the coming up serial, the promos are already getting viral" she said excitedly and I smiled nodding my head.

"yeah! I hope the team work stays as rocking as it was before, and yeah! Inn Shaa Allah will be producing something worth watching for the viewers" I said.

"It was amazing having you here, thank you so much Shehry...I hope we can call you that" She asked narrowing her eyes and I chuckled.

"With pleasure" I replied, keeping my hand over my heart.

I walked with Sarmad out of that crowd while the host started taking interviews from the cast and other guests invited. We had the party arranged in the lavish club owned by one of the stars of Pakistan industry and I must say it was a beautiful place though a bit too far from my residence but still the travelling was worth the time I spent here.

"Place is good han!" I praised looking around and Sarmad took a sip from his drink.

"Yeah! It is famous for such success parties and media functions, Peerzada family has spent a lot on it" he said.

I enjoyed my time there, met a lot of people far more talented than I was... met producers who praised my work making it way more special to me than it ever was.

"Shehry! did you get a car?" Tahira Aapa asked as we were heading out of the café and I nodded my head.

"Yup! Filhal to rent ki hea Aapa! Kuch din tak will arrange my own" I told her and saw the driver brought her car at the entrance

"Dihan se jana, raat k waqt ye route buhat sunsaan hota hea" She instructed and I nodded my head with a smile. "And don't stop your car if anyone gives you a hand for lift or something, okay?" She gave me a final instruction as the driver opened the door for her.

"Don't worry I will be safe...Superman I am, you know" I winked and she smiled.

"Chalo that's good, see you on Monday then, sharp 9.... Don't get late" Aapa warned me and I gave her a salute, she chuckled shaking her head while sitting in her car and the diver drove off.

"Finally a long day ended" letting a breath out I sat inside my car and drove it off the place, coming on the main road I realized aapa was right; hardly any vehicle was in sight. Turning on the music I leaned back in the seat with one hand on the gear and the other over the steering.

HEER'S POV

"Kahan bhag rahi ho, humein bhi to pata chaley" the man spoke in lustful voice, making my heart sank deep and I tried to get my arm off his grip which wasn't that firm... his tone showed he was drunk or may be drugged up.

"Charo humein...hath choro hamara" he stepped forward and I gulped down, taking a step back holding Emaan in my arms. I looked around and found nobody in the street.

"Aese kesey chor doon... Abhi to pakra he nai theek se" he said in his drunk voice and moved forward when I raised my knee and hit it hard in his groin, his grip went lose at my arm as he bent down groaning in pain. His knees almost touched the ground when I hit him with my foot for a couple of times.

"Her aadmi hewaan hea yahan...janwar, shaitaan!" yelling loud I brushed the tears from my face, I spat on him and started running fast towards the end of the street, Emaan was now crying and my heartbeats fast, with breath ragged.

Hum kia Karen meri jan! maaf ker do Mama ko... Mama buhat buri hen na tumhen bhook lag rahi hea na? Mama kerti hen kuch okay! Please ro mat... please!

Hugging her tight to my chest I came on the main road...with yellow lights, air was too cold and harsh over my skin. I decided to step into some street and take help from somebody, Maybe I should knock over somebody's house and get some help.

I was trying to cross the road when suddenly I heard loud horn, turning my face to left I found bright head lights blinding my eyes and I covered them with my arm.

Suddenly the sound of the engine died and the lights went off, I removed my arm from my eyes and looked in the direction... the moment I realized whose car it was my heart stopped beating and my feet felt like glued to the ground.

"Naheen! Naheen!"

"Ruk jao!" I heard a hoarse male voice, familiar harsh voice... he must be Arsalan's worker. I took a step back and he jumped out of the Prado coming towards me and I ran back towards the same street when that drunk came to my mind and I looked here and there... unable to decide where should I go. Foot steps were coming closer and closer when I started running on the road all empty and wide...

I don't know what place was that but I just ran holding Emaan, I ran towards one of a road going inside, he was following me the whole time.

"Ruk jao! Kahan tak bhago gi?" I heard his threat. "Ruk jao mein keh raha hoon, werna goli chala doon ga" I didn't stop, I couldn't it was the only way I had... to run, to run for my poor life for my daughter's life.

Suddenly from far distance I heard a siren.... "Police?"

I turned my head and looking back I found the man standing in the middle of the road, as if he heard the siren as well, I started running again on the road.

"Ruk jao!" he warned me and I fasten up my speed, with my throat all dry and heartbeats so fast that I could feel them in my throat.

"Heer!" I heard a loud voice along with a gun shot and I felt somebody jerked me with full force I stumbled on the ground as my feet lost control and the sudden pain in my left arm felt like a thousand blades going into my body.

"Aahhh!" I groaned in pain as my knees met the mud on the ground and I fell down. "Aarggh! Am-Amaan!... Aarrgh!" tears rolled down my eyes as I shut them tight, I could hear the police siren coming closer and with great pain I opened my eyes. Turning my head I could find the man on the road...

Utho Heer! utho is se pehle k wo tum tak or tumhari bachi tak puhnach jae...utho Heer!

"Aah!" I tried to get up but the pain was increasing, my heart sinking and my mind all numb...holding Emaan tight to myself I got up over my feet. I could feel something hot dripping down from my arm to my hand and finally I could see a small red puddle on the ground, now mixed with mud and stones.

I started walking in a limping tripping way... I couldn't get it was a gunshot in my arm or a knife.... it felt like a deep cut.

I stepped into a street and leaned with the brick wall, my breaths were ragged and uneven. I shut my eyes tight the pain was extreme in my arm and I shook my head trying to avoid it but it was increasing with every passing breath of mine.

Smacking my head with the wall at my back I tried to keep my voice inside my mouth though I wanted to yell... I wanted to cry out aloud so that every single soul would hear my pain....

Ya Allah! tu kahan hea? Kahan hea tu? q nai kerta hamari madad? Koi nai sun'ney wala mager tu to sun!...tu to sun Ya Allah! tu to sun le hamari aah! Tu kun nai madad kerta....?

Tears soaking my face, Emaan now moving in my arms, she looked disturbed and hungry and....pale, looking at her face under that yellow light my heart ached.

Suddenly I felt footsteps, I felt movement and my eyes opened wide... looking to my left I found a shadow and my heart stopped beating at once. Taking a step back I silently stared backing off, the shadow was still there but the siren no more audible. Finding a turn I turn back and started running again as fast as I could, trying to forget about the pain in my arm.

I saw a corn field and stepped in, going down from the road may be I can hide here....

Koi rasta nai raha hamarey pas... wo dhoond le ga humein, wo nai chorey ga humein.

Mager.... I looked down at her face, her eyes now wide open and, lips dry like a crumbled leaf.

I bit my lip hard as a shiver of deep pain ran through my spine, shutting my eyes firm I let the tears fall down.

Shaid hum marr rahe hen....Hum nai bach paen ge ub....agar humein kuch ho gaya to, to hamari bachi? My heart started pounding hard in my chest.

I gulped down and put her down on the grass, removing my chadar I wrapped her in it with great difficulty as my left arm was paining a lot, and I couldn't even move it up or down.

Wrapping her firmly I looked down at her face, taking it in my trembling hands and kissed her forehead. Tears feel on her face from my eyes.

Maaf ker dena humein...Maaf kerdena Emaan! Apni Maa ko maaf ker dena

I held her in my hands and crawled on the grass, going near the road I placed her there at the side and after staring her face for a minute I moved back and hide in the field from where I could have a look at her through the darkness of the field.

I was shivering from head to toe, the air was cutting through me, through my wounds.... I hugged my self wrapping my arms around and my hand touched the wound over my left arm making me wince in pain.

Ya Allah tu bula le humein apne pass mager us se pehle koi farishta bhej de jo hamari bachi ko wo piyar wo zindagi de sakey jis ka khuwab dekha tha hum ne...

Ae merey Rab! Tu bacha le usey... masoom hea wo, kia kasoor hea us ka? Bacha le hamrai bachi ko Ya Allah!.

My eyes were shut when suddenly I heard a sound and my eyes flutter open, a car was approaching...my heart beating fast and eyes fixed on Emaan.

I saw the car stopped at the corner of the road and the door opened, it was too dark and I couldn't see anything. I dug deep into the leaves when I saw the man looking around while bending over her... my heartbeats were fast and tears rolling down, I brushed them away wiping my eyes I tried to get a good look but couldn't see his face.

"What the fuck!" I head the man cursing aloud, there was extreme surprise and a tint of disgust in his voice.

"Hey! Anyone here?" he shouted aloud and I remained hidden. "Koi hea?"

For a minute he kept on looking at her face then took a step back and moved towards his car, my heart skipped a beat as I saw him driving away.... And suddenly from a distance I heard barking... dogs? No!

My heart was in utmost panic when I heard the car stopping my ear tearing loud brakes' sound and I covered my ears, looking up I found the same man running towards Emaan.

"Hey Fuck off!" he kicked the dog with one of his foot and the dog started barking at him loudly.

"Get off you....." he bent down and picked her up in his arms, keeping her close to his chest while she was crying hard, she must have got frightened of all those noises.

Hey! Its okay... hush hush! Okay okay....you are fine Champ!" my heart skipped a beat as the man tried to calm her down, while stroking at her back.

"okay don't cry...sshh!" he said aloud. "You stop crying and I promise I will take you to Mama, okay?" I tried to get up, to move but my body didn't allow me to, the pain was killing me.

"Yar! Ajeeb sheher hea........ Koi hea?" he yelled again and looked around, before slowly taking a step back and moving towards the car.

Han hum hen...

shaid humein jana chaiye, kia pata wo acha insaan ho, kia pata wo humein bacha le is dozakh se... humein... humein.... The moment I tried to get up my heard spun and I felt my eyes shutting down slowly.

SHEHRY'S POV

Do not stop the car of anyone gives you a hand for help of something, okay? Aapa's words rang up in my mind as I saw a small bundle on the road, it wasn't a bundle definitely... I could feel movement in it.....a child? My heart dropped down at the mare thought of this. Looking around from the car I found the place all quiet and calm...who could have left a baby on the road at such a time?

Opening the door of my car I stepped out and with uncertain steps I headed towards it, bending down I slowly removed the shabby thin cloth from her and literally gasped.

"What the fuck!" it was a baby, eyes wide open and face all... all pale. Shitt! Who could have done this? My God!

"Hey! Anyone here? I shouted aloud looking up but found nothing. "Koi hea?" I repeated but nobody replied.

I kept on looking at her face. yahan kuch pata naheen chalta Shehryar! Ye jaga ajeeb hea, yahan insaan kam janwar ziada hen. yahan kisi ki madad karo to ulta galey per jati hea wo madad. Aapa told me once.

May be she was right... may be I shouldn't do something stupid. Thinking something I got up straight once again and took a step back, my eyes still on the bay lying down helpless on the deserted road and my heartbeats fast. Finally I killed someone inside m and turned towards my car, sitting inside I started it and drove it off... when suddenly I heard dogs barking from a distance and my heart sank down.

Shittt! pushing the brakes with full force I lower down the speed and turned the car around at once, pulling up the hand brakes I opened the door and ran towards the baby... there were two dogs, one hovering over her with his tongue out and the other coming in the direction.

"Hey Fuck off!" I kicked him with my foot and he took a step back, barking loud at me.

"Get off you....."I hurriedly bent down and picked the baby up in my arms who was crying loud now, at the top of it's lungs. I took a step towards that dog trying to kick him again and he ran off following the other one.

"Hey! Its okay... hush hush! Okay okay....you are fine Champ!" I kept the baby close to my chest and stroked his back softly trying to calm him down.

"okay don't cry...sshh!" I took him in my arms and looked at his face. "Okay you stop crying and I promise I will take you to Mama, okay? Deal?' I said talking to him but he didn't stop crying.

pata nai kahan hen is k Maa Baap?

"Yar! Jaeeb shehr hea.....Koi hea?" I yelled again for the last time before stepping towards my car helplessly....

To be continued......

Ahh... poor Heer :(but at least Emaan is in safe hands now ;)

Shehryar and Emaan <3 sounds good together, right?

Hope u liked it :)

Love u all :*
