Junoon

"So Miss Wafa will you now tell me why you didn't do your homework?"
He asked sitting on the revolving chair while Wafa was standing there with her head now down

"Sir I am sorry"
She stuttered

She was very scared as she was alone with him in such a horrifying place

"I wanna know the reason, Miss Wafa"
He said keeping his legs on the table

"I forgot"
She lied feeling scared

"Lie. Well Miss Wafa let me tell you one thing I hate lies"
He said moving towards her

"I am not lying"
She said clutching her eyes closed

He held her arms tightly and pulled her close.
"I said I hate lies"

Wafa could feel his breath on her face. She clutched her eyes tightly. She could smell his manly perfume

"Sir I was reading novels the whole day that's why I didn't do the homework. I am very sorry"
She said keeping her eyes still close

"Open your eyes and look at me"
He ordered

Wafa still kept her eyes closed
"Now"
He shouted
Wafa opened her eyes immediately

Salary pulled her closer to himself now her head was touching his shirt as he was 6.3 and she was 5.4

Wafa fisted his shirt in her hand due to fear. She lifted her head to see him staring at her with a different emotion in his eyes

"Stay away Sir"
She said to which he smirked and said

"Move me away if you can"
He challenged her

"You can't touch me like this I will never allow this"
She said strongly trying to control her shivering and tears. She wasn't that weak to cry in front of anyone

He had the same cold expression

"Why are you doing this? You behave so harshly with me. I know you're rude to everyone but you behave more rudely toward me"
She complained

"You're weak in my subject that's why"
He said with anger in his eyes

"Some students are way worse than me but you still don't behave with them as you behave with me"
She complained again

"And I will never"
He stated

"Why? What have I done?"
Her voice was breaking

"Nothing! You're just an average student"
He said with the same weird emotion in his eyes. Wafa couldn't figure that emotion out

"Leave me, Sir"
She said trying to move his arms away from her shoulders

He left her arms and kept staring at her she started feeling awkward with his gaze

"Your punishment is remaining"
He said to which she looked up shocked

"As you have more interest in novels rather than studying you will do the homework fifty times and if you didn't do that then be ready for another punishment"

Wafa gasped listening to him and said
"Sir, please forgive me I will never do that I promise"

"I don't need your fake promises and yeah don't forget today's homework"
He said

"Nobody should know what happened here"
Salary warned her

She gulped and nodded
He started taking her outside by holding her wrist to which Wafa rolled her eyes
.....................................................................
"Wafa let's go outside and have dinner"
Armeena her elder sister said

"No, Meena I have to study"
She said sadly

"I think I have heard something wrong"
Hashir her younger brother said

"Leave me alone both of you"
She shouted to which they shrugged their shoulders and left

"Ahh it's just happening because of you Mr. Salar I will never forgive you"
She said and started crying loudly because her hands were hurting from writing continuously

She started crying after some time and don't know when she fell asleep with her register on her face
.....................................................................

"Huh"
Wafa woke up with a jerk and gasped

She looked kat clock to see it's 7:10 already
"Shit shit shit the Hitler will eat me alive for sure"
Saying this she got up and get ready in five minutes and left for college with her baba in no time

"May I come in Sir"
Wafa asked permission to come inside the classroom standing at the door

"Come in"
Salar said coldly and glared at her as she was already late

"Zara, Fara don't you think Sir is way too much strict with me than others"
She whispered to her friend

"No it's not like that he is strict with everyone you are just sensitive my dear"
Zara said to which Wafa could only nod at

"Wafa come here with your homework"
Salar ordered

Wafa gulped hard and moved towards the stage holding her register with shivering hands

He forwarded his hand asking for register
Wafa placed the register in his hands and closed her eyes tightly

"What is this Wafa I told you to do it 50 times and you haven't even done it 10 times"
He shouted at her loudly

Wafa could feel tears forming up in her eyes. She felt humilated as he insulted her in front of whole class. She controlled her tears as she couldn't cry in front of everyone

"In my office after class understood"
He said coldly
Wafa nodded look down

"Words Miss Wafa"
He bent towards her and said dangerously
"Yes Sir"

She moved back to her seat her friends tried to console her but she was numb thinking about that dark place

As the bell rang shivers ran down her spine. Salar eyed her to come with him

She nodded and started walking behind him. They were again in front of that closed door. Salar opened the door and took her with himself by holding her wrist

"I don't wanna go Sir, please. I feel scared"
She started crying and begging by now

But Salar paid no heed to her words. Today he took her towards the second door as there were only two doors in the whole street located beside each other. He opened the door and took her inside pushing her onto the bed

"Ahh, mama"
She cried and sat on the bed to see it was a huge bedroom with everything in it including Almirah, dressing table, sofas, and washroom

Her anxiety got triggered thinking about the reason why he took her here.

Before she could process anything Salar pushed her on the bed again and placed his left feet on the bed beside her face. Wafa was looking at his feet with horrified expression when he pulled her face up making her look into his eyes.

"Now Miss Wafa will you tell me the reason to neglect my work"
He bent his face on her

Wafa could feel his breathe on her trembling lips
"I I a am sorry S Sir"
She stuttered

"Sorry? You know what I hate this word never use that again in front of me"
He threatened her

"Now you tell me how should I punish you, little girl?"
He whispered dangerously into her ear making her breathe hitched
