Humsafar (short stories)

Junoon

Salar pushed Wafa onto the bed and hovered over her clutching her hands in his hand and shouted in her face
"What was that Wafa Salar Khan"

Wafa was shivering in fear and wasn't able to form words

"I am bloody asking something, stupid girl"
His grip tightened on her hands

"Ahh it's hurting Salar"
She cried out in pain and Salar left her wrists immediately

"Wafa you are testing my patience you tell me why you did that"
He shouted making her shut her eyes tightly

"I didn't want you to hurt them, please I know they did wrong but killing is not a solution"
She tried to make him understand

"Mrs Wafa Nawab Khan I would never bear a word against you. Nobody can point out Nawab Salar Khan's wife's character I would kill them on the spot and you can't stop me. This was the last time that you pulled such a stunt next time regardless of your swears I will burry that person alive in front of you"
Salar screamed and kissed her wildly

Wafa was laying numb thinking about his words. Salar left her lips and said
"Go before I do something wrong"

Wafa ran from there and came into her class panting where all her class fellows were extremely shocked by the previous incident. She sat beside Fara silently and stared at the whole class everyone averted their gaze and didn't say anything to her as they were scared of Salar

And her fear turned true now nobody will talk to her normally because of Salar's fear
.....................................................................

Wafa was roaming here and there in the room because just now Sabeena took sleeping, Ghazi, and Zarrar into her room saying Salar ordered her on the phone

Suddenly, the door opened and Salar came in walking in a weird manner

He was about to fall when Wafa ran and hold him asking
"What happened Salar why are you walking like this?"

Salar pushed her away and sat on the sofa with his head resting on the sofa's back. His eyes were shut. Salar kept his feet on the table. Wafa was getting confused by his behavior but ignored it and poured water into the glass and came towards him forwarding the glass to him
"Salar w water"
She stuttered

Salar opened his eyes and Wafa got shocked to see his blood-red eyes and took water from her and drank all the water in one sip. After having water he threw the glass making Wafa scream keeping both her hands on her mouth

Salar pulled her circling an arm around her waist making Wafa fall on him. Wafa scrunched her nose feeling the bad smell and there it hit her
"S Salar yo you are d drunk"
Wafa stuttered it was her first time in life seeing someone drunk. Her legs started shivering. She was extremely scared

Salar didn't say anything and kept looking into her eyes with a painful expression then it turned to anger

"Take off my shoes"
Salar said in a tired voice as he wasn't in his senses so couldn't do his work

Due to fear, Wafa sat on the floor and took his shoes off with shivering hands tears were leaking out of her eyes

She didn't know how to deal with a drunk person that too Nawab Salar Khan

"Take me to bed"
Another order came which Wafa really wanna deny because of fear but agreed thinking about his reaction

Wafa helped him to stand Salar put his arm around her shoulder. She made him lie on the bed when another order came
"Change my clothes"
He said in a cold voice as always

"S Salar, please"
Wafa said with tears in her eyes she still wasn't that comfortable changing his clothes. Although they had children but she was still a very shy girl
