Chapter 35- Sajal is lying
Meher''s p.o.v
I heard a gunshot and some drops of blood sshed on my face. I heard my son''s loud cry piercing
through my heart. I yelled loudly," Mehrab........."
I thought that I have lost my son. I thought that it''s my end because I can''t breathe a single moment
without my son. But the moment I looked forward I became more shocked and stiffened on my ce.
The bullet didn''t hit Mehrab nor it hit me.
I heard Sajal screaming loudly like a madwoman," Sehreyar, No.......why did youe to save this
whore? No............"
Saying all this she dropped the gun and fall on her knees and started crying badly. She is screaming
and saying only one thing," What I have done?"
I also noticed that Sehreyar copsed on the ground and his right shoulder is bleeding. It didn''t take
much time for me to understand that Sehreyar has saved me and my son from the gunshot. Why did he
save my son while in the first ce he wanted to kill Mehrab?
I thought that Sehreyar was unconscious but how he came here and when he came here I don''t know.
Everything happened just in the blink of an eye.
I immediately bent down to Sehreyar''s level and said crying," Don''t close your eyes. I will call the
ambnce now."
Saying that I touched his cheeks and I saw his shuttering eyes. I saw his trembling lips which are trying
to say something.
" Meher, .......i love........." He tried to say but couldn''t finish his saying and closed his eyes.
I yelled loudly," Sehreyar, don''t close your eyes......please, someone help me."
I am crying and yelling for help when a man in his 40s came running and informed me that he is
Sehreyar''s driver. He also informed me that he has already called an ambnce and Sehreyar''s family
members.
I looked at Sajal and said angrily," See, what your jealously has done? But, trust me today you have
crossed your all limits. I will take legal action for your attack on me and my child. You need to be behind
the bar."
Hearing me, she yelled on my face," Everything happened because of you. You came into Sehreyar''s
life and snatched him from me."
I didn''t answer her. I am just looking at Sehreyar''s face and hoping that he is fine. I might have said that
I want him dead but in reality, I will never wish something like that. I have said that out of anger. And I
am now indebted to him. He has saved me from the gunshot. I can''t even imagine what would have
happened if he didn''te in front of me.
Mehrab is so terrified about all the incident that he is clinging in my arms like there is no tomorrow. I
can feel that he is very afraid. Oh! My poor son! Now, I am just consoling him and saying that
everything will be fine.
Then, I heard Sajal is screaming," I have killed my husband. I have killed him....... I don''t want to live
anymore."
She is behaving like a madwoman. She has really issues. She needs a psychiatrist. She is too much
obsessed with Sehreyar.
Suddenly, without saying anything Sajal started to run towards the road without noticing that it''s full of
running car. Has this woman bepletely mad? What if she......
I couldn''tplete my thinking when a car bumped her very hard and she was thrown away almost 10
feet because of the impact.
A yelp escaped from my mouth when I saw her bloodied body. Was she trying tomit suicide? Is
she love Sehreyar that much?
People started gathering around her and also me. They are murmuring about me. I can see their
curious and shocked expression seeing Sehreyar like that.
I am still in a daze and not understanding what I should do when I heard the sound of the ambnce.
After some hours
I am sitting on a bench with Mehrab outside the operation theatre. Mehrab is sitting beside me resting
his head on my arms and I am holding him tightly.
Sehreyar''s treatment is going and I am too much worried for him. I am praying to Ah for his well
being. After all, he has saved my son from the gunshot.
Sajal Seikh is also admitted to the hospital and doctor informed that she has injured her right leg and
arm. Otherwise, she has no severe injury.
" Mamma, who this bad jiant?(Mamma, who is this bad giant?) He ez vely bad. Me hat him(He is very
bad. I hate him). Me aid( I am afraid of him) ," Mehrab asked me with his baby voice.
Whatever is happening around him is too much for a little child like him. A child shouldn''t face all this.
Everything is happening because of me. I shouldn''t have left Bhopal. I was stupid and now, I am facing
the consequences of my stupidity.
I replied stroking Mehrab''s baby hairs," You don''t have to be afraid. Mamma will not let anyone harm
you."
Hearing me he just snuggled more into me and I am thinking what will happen when Sehreyar and
Sajal will gain their senses back. Will Sehreyar again try to harm Mehrab?
" Mamma, me hungly( mamma, I am hungry)," Mehrab said pulling my dupatta and my thinking was

interrupted.
I said affectionately," Let mamma buy something for you."
Saying that I was going to pick him up when I heard him saying with his terrified voice looking behind
me," Mamma, old witch!"
Saying that he clutched my one leg tightly out of too much fear.
Before I could ask him what''s he telling me, I felt like someone has pulled my hairs from behind.
" What the........." I couldn''tplete my sentence when two sharp pnded on my right cheek
repeatedly.
I touched the area where I was pped and looked at the person. The person is none other than
Sehreyar''s Dadi. Again this old witch.
" You whore! You again came into my grandson''s life! How was he shot? This time my granddaughter is
also injured. Tell me what have you done to them? She asked me angrily holding my hairs.
I replied trying to free myself from her grip," Stop ming me every time. It''s your grandson who came
to my house and tried to kill my son. And then your crazy granddaughter tried to shoot me but your
grandson came in front of me and everything happened. It''s not my fault."
She is still holding my hairs and barked on my face," if anything bad happens to my grandchildren then
I will not spare you, Meher Afroz Khan."
This time I couldn''t control my anger and emotions anymore. I replied crying," What''s my fault that you
all are after me? First, your grandson made my life hell and now you. What I have ever done to you to
endure all this? I didn''t want your grandson toe after me. It was him who came after me willingly.
It''s not my fault."
" your fault is you are Adeel''s sister who destroyed my Haniya''s life. I wish you and your brother rot in
hell. I wish you both never find any happiness in your life. Sehreyar has done the right thing by making
you a whore and sending your brother into the jail," Sehreyar''s Dadi said angrily and again pped on
my face.
I would have given her a tight back p but controlled myself considering her age. She might be ill-
mannered but I am not.
On the other hand, Mehrab couldn''t tolerate all this. He said angrily pulling Sehreysr''s Dadi''s dupatta,"
Bad witch. Don''t hurt my mamma. You all are bad."
" You little shit!" Sehreyar''s dadi said angrily looking at Mehrab and pushed him on the floor.
I yelled loudly," Mehrab........"
Mehrab is already injured on his forehead. I don''t want him to get hurt again.
" Mamma....." Mehrab said and going to fall on the floor. Before he could touch the ground a pair of
woman''s hand hold him and saved him from the falling. The woman is looking very young and very
simr to Sehreyar. Is she rted to him?
Sehreyar''s Dadi looked at the woman and uttered," Haniya."
Is this Haniya Seikh whom my brother married!
Author''s p.o.v
" Dadi, how can you behave like that to a small child! Haniya said to her dadi angrily holding Mehrab by
his shoulder.
Mehrab runs towards his mother and Meher picked him up hurriedly. Mehrab has hidden his face in his
mother''s chest. He is very afraid of Sehreyar''s Dadi.
Haniya asked her Dadi worriedly," How are Bhaiya and Bhabi?"
Sehreyar''s Dadi snapped at Haniya," The doctors are treating them and this whore is the reason
behind your brother and sister inw''s injured condition."
Saying that she pointed her finger at Meher who is looking very disturbed and crying. Meher was
always a soft-hearted innocent girl. Whenever someone misbehaves with her she can''t control her
tears.
" I didn''t do anything. Sajal Ji shot Sehreyar," Meher protested looking at Sehreyar''s Dadi angrily.
Meher thought that Haniya will obviously support her grandma and humiliate Meher. But, to her utter
surprise, Haniya didn''t say anything to Meher.
" Dadi, you need to calm down first and then talk like a normal person," Haniya said to her grandma.
Sehreyar''s dadi didn''t hear Haniya. She again clutched Meher''s hairs and said," I will kill this whore if
something severe happens to Sehreyar. My grandson is in the operation theatre because of her."
Saying all this she started crying and raised her hand to p meher. Meher closed her eyes due to
reflex and expected another sting on her face.
But, the pain never came as Haniya had hold Sehreyar''s dadi''s hand tightly. Haniya said to her dadi
angrily jerking off her hand," Dadi, For Ah''s sake, we are in the hospital. We need to pray for
Bhaiya''s well being not quarrel like some immature children."
Hearing Haniya''s sensible words Meher understood why her brother loved Haniya. She is indeed a
kind-hearted and sensible person. She is not just beautiful from outside. She is beautiful from inside as
well.
Sehreyar''s Dadi didn''t say anything further. She just red at Meher like anytime she will eat Meher
alive. But, she is totally pissed off seeing Haniya''s soft behaviour towards Meher.
Sehreyar''s Dadi thought mentally," My grandchildren areplete fools. One is obsessed with this
whore and another one is behaving nicely with her who''s brother is the reason behind her child''s
death."
" Are you ok?" Haniya asked Meher with concern.
Meher just nodded her head in positive holding Mehrab protectively in her arms. Haniya looked at
Mehrab who is looking very terrified and his cheeks are red as he has cried too much.
Haniya asked Mehrab affectionately," Are you ok little Mehrab? Your phuppo(aunt from father''s side)
will give you candies."
Saying that she took out some candies from her purse and gave it to Mehrab who is looking at her
suspiciously.
On the other hand, Meher is shocked thinking how Haniya knew about her son''s name and why she
addressed herself as Mehrab''s phuppo. Even, Sehreyar''s dadi is shocked hearing Haniya.
" Did she know about Mehrab''s father? Meher and Sehreyar''s Dadi both thought mentally.
Mehrab looked at his mother for permission which Meher gave dly. She is totally impressed and
surprised seeing Haniya''s soft behaviour towards her.
Everyone is now silent and looking at each other. Haniya is looking at Meher with concern and Meher is
looking at Haniya curiously. Sehreyar''s Dadi is ring at Meher angrily.
Suddenly, a doctor came and said to Sehreyar''s dadi," Sajal Seikh is now out of danger. She will gain
her senses back very soon."
Haniya and Sehreyar''s Dadi took a relief of breath hearing the news while Meher remains neutral.
" What about her child? Is the baby fine? Sehreyar''s Dadi asked the doctor worriedly.
The doctor knitted his brows and asked surprisingly," Baby? What are you talking about?"
" What do you mean by there is no baby. Sajal is one month pregnant," Sehreyar''s Dadi dered.
Hearing it, Meher isn''t surprised because it''s possible where Sehreyar is married to Sajal.
The doctor said with confidence," The patient isn''t pregnant. We have checked her."
