Hania was continuously scratching her nail side in nervousness when she heard a familiar voice coming from behind.

Oh, Dadi Jaan! What a pleasant surprise to see you here? Shahreyar spewed out sweetly.

All three of them turned their faces to see a familiar figure.

Oh! Shahreyar beta (son)!

Minhaaj looked towards Dadi Jaan when she asserted beta (son).

Do you know this person Dadi Jaan? Minhaaj asked in a low tone.

He is our neighbor and the guy who helped me in the morning. Dadi Jaan put her hand on Minhaaj's hand and told him with a smile.
Minhaaj just nodded.

What are you doing here? Dadi Jaan asked.

Dadi Jaan I came to eat here but I forgot that we have to reserve the table first.  Right now they told me that they don't have any table for me to sit on so I am going back to my house as I am so tired because of work. I guess today is not my day to eat.

He rubbed the back of his nape and told her the reason but the story was half completed.

He was glancing towards Hania with his peripheral vision.

No problem you can join us. Daddy Jaan said it without thinking straight.

Hania and Minhaaj both were shocked. Both knew something was cooking in her mind but couldn't guess right now.

The big picture of Hania getting married to Shahreyar was roaming around in Dadi Jaan's mind.

Shahreyar gaze traveled towards Minhaaj.

Can I? He asked with a cocked-up brow.

Yeah, you can. Minhaaj said this only because Hania didn't look uncomfortable and scared from Shahreyar which was a positive sign.

Shahreyar ordered Malai boti and told the waiter to serve it alone. Hania looked towards Shahreyar with wide eyes.

Hanan always ordered this which Hania felt weird. He always likes to eat it alone. She was getting suspicious as if he was Hanan then why he is acting like he doesn't know her.

While waiting for the dishes to be served Minhaaj and Shahreyar started talking. Hania's gaze was fixed on Shahreyar which he could felt too.

You are the guy I bumped into the hospital! I can't believe this. Minhaaj was stunned by the announcement that they have met before.

Yes! Isn't it. Shahreyar laughed out nervously.

Soon both of them started talking about news, politics, and other things that men talk about.

They were talking nonstop that Dadi Jaan had to stop them because some questions were drifting in her stomach that it was hurting now. So she had to ask those questions right there.

Shahreyar Beta (son) do you live alone? I didn't see any lady coming out of your house? The first question was thrown like a dagger by Dadi Jaan out of nowhere.

Yes, Dadi Jaan I live alone. Shahreyar replied firmly.

Why? Where are your parents? Another question she asked out of her curiosity.

Hmm! How should I put it? I had a big argument with my father so he told me to leave his house and never show my face again to him. That's why. He answered honestly.

What kind of argument? Now Dadi Jaan's curiosity was hitting her hard.

Well, I liked a girl and wanted to marry her but my dad stopped me to do it.

Hania felt like her heart dropped down from a cliff because Shahreyar said it while looking at her side.

Oh! So it was a matter of a girl. Dadi Jaan felt disappointed.

Yes but that girl ran away. I'm here in search of her. I hope I could find her. If I wouldn't able to find her here then I will be going back to my family. A weary smile appeared on his beautiful face.

I know it's bad to ask such a thing but please Allah don't let that girl showed up in front of him. I want Hania in his life. Dadi prayed it in her heart while feeling guilty.

How many members are in your family? Now the real test begins and Minhaaj looked towards his Dadi Jaan with an embarrassed face.

Dadi Jaan ignored him and continue with her interview.

Moray, Dad, a lil cuzn of mine and me. We are a family of four.

You have a cousin sister. Good. Dadi Jaan drank water from the glass while thinking " Oh so Hania would have a sister-in-law too. I hope she won't interfere in Hania's life."

What did you do for living? I mean do you have your own business or are you a job type person?  Dadi Jaan asked like a teenager which made everyone laugh.

Shahreyar looked towards Hania who was laughing a Lil. Those chuckles felt like a beautiful melody to his ears.

He wanted to hug her right there but he had to control himself.

Hania and Shahreyar eyes met for a second. Hania could feel the different emotions in his gaze. Hania averts her gaze right away.

In these 8 years, Hania never felt like this. She felt like her cheeks were burning and her heart was thumping. Her soul was screaming and yelling that this is Hanan but she didn't have any proof.

I am-

Shahreyar was about to tell Dadi Jaan what he does for living when Hania spoke in between.

You are a doctor. This is the first time she took a part in this whole conversation.

Everyone turned their face towards Hania.
Getting everyone's attention she felt weird and uncomfortable so to handle the situation Shahreyar spoke up.

I am a professor of biology at LUMS university.
Hania looked towards Shahreyar.

You are not a doctor? She asked him in an informal way.

No Miss Hania. I teach students to become a doctor. He replied formally.

Stop lying Hanan. She played her card by calling him, Hanan.

Why would I lie Miss Hania? And he trapped himself easily. He felt so dumb getting caught like that. So to cover up he asked with creases on his forehead.

Wait who is Hanan? I am Shahreyar. I think you mixed me with someone else Miss Hania.

Hania didn't reply. She felt like maybe she was wrong. Although everything matches with Hanan's background, but this guy was giving her a different vibe.

Minhaaj and Dadi Jaan were shocked as Hania was talking to a guy like this whom she met like two times and only for less than 15 minutes.
There was no stuttering in her way of speaking and she was even accusing him for lying.

Dadi Jaan knew who Hanan was but she didn't know him by face. She felt a pang in her heart.

Is she finding Hanan in every person? A thought came into Dadi Jaan's mind.

The atmosphere suddenly turned black. In the meantime, the waiters came and served the food. After eating it Shahreyar said Allah hafiz to everyone and went towards his car.

Minhaaj also payed the bill and ambulated towards the parking lot with Hania and Dadi Jaan.

No one dares to ask anything from Hania.
After leaving Hania and Dadi Jaan to the house he turned his car and drove towards his secret room.

Minhaaj called Saad and asked him to do a background check on a person name Hanan who maybe work with his sister in a hospital along with Shahreyar Khan who is a professor of biology at LUMS university.

Minhaaj told him to give him information in one week.

Did I miss something? He looked at the map he had drawn for his sister's rape case.

Nadir was the main suspect which was missing and there was someone else too which was written in the case file. But his name was removed so professionally that he couldn't find it.

Wait for me Nadir I will tear you into pieces because of what you did to my sister. And your accomplice he will pay for his sins too. He pushed back his hair in frustration.

Shahreyar house

He stepped into his barren house and ambulated towards his study. He clicked a button which was behind a book and suddenly a door opened from the wall.

He entered in that mysterious room and sat down in a chair.

While glancing himself in a big mirror he started laughing. He was laughing so loud that his eyes become wet and then after a while he started weeping.

He screamed so loud that if that house walls were not soundproof people would get scared.

I will kill each one of you who made my Hania like this. I swear you will feel the same pain that me and Hania are feeling right now.

Shahreyar threw the chair at the mirror in front of him with all the resentment. Hearing the sound of breaking mirror Khan Lala rushed inside the secret room.

Hanan Lala what are you doing? This won't turn back time. Leave that glass piece right now. Stop hurting yourself. Khan Lala shouted which brought Hanan back in reality.

Hanan left that glass piece and started crying in Khan Lala embrace.

Khan Lala she has changed a lot. That eyes which use to love everyone has lost the meaning of love. She felt like a souless body. They took everything from her. They took my Hania Khan Lala. I wish I reached at the right time in the past so she wouldn't have to go through by this pain. I wish she had never met me so that she would be living a peaceful life right now. Everything was started by me. And I swear to God I will end  everything too.

Hanan wiped his tears from the back of his wounded hand and stood up while seeing the picture of Hania's real culprit.

You both will taste what's real hell is? And I won't be be merciful to you both.

The animosity, bitterness, wrath and resentment was dripping from his mouth.

Khan Lala grabbed his hand and dragged him out of that room. He let him sat on the chair and took out the first aid box from the drawer.

While putting on the bandage he looked towards Hanan.

Stop being so hard on yourself. Our enemies are strong. If you let yourself shaken up by just a small meeting then I won't allow you to meet Miss Hania again. Khan Lala asserted seriously.
Hanan took a deep breath.

I am so sorry Khan Lala. I won't do it again.

Hanan was ashamed of doing this stupidity.

Khan Lala was the one who saved him from that accident and gave the name of his only son who died because of an argument with Shakir.
Now Hanan was living as Shahreyar Khan.

We will take the revenge Hanan Lala don't worry. They will pay for what they did. Khan Lala assured him.

Hanan stood up and walked towards his room to sleep for a while. He has not been sleeping soundly the day he came out of the coma.

The nightmares were always there to haunt him.

Khan Lala spread the praying mat and start offering his Isha prayer.
He raised his hands for dua.

Allah, you know this child has been gone through a lot. Please have some mercy on this child. I know you love every creature you made so, please just give him all the happiness, give him my happiness too. I hope he could get to live like every normal young lad out there. Please shower your mercy on us. Ameen.
