Obsessed with her- MEERASIM FF

Anger

Meerab sat in her office working away in her laptop when their office receptionist Reem frantically entered the room catching Meerab off guard. "OH MY GOD MEERAB did u hear yet!?" She asked in a hurry. Meerab's brows furrowed as she tried to unveil what Reem was trying to say. "Hear what?" Meerab asked confusingly.
"Zain stopped by to retrieve his wallet." Reem said, as if building up suspense for a movie. "So?" Meerab asked, her curiosity peaking. "He came by and talked to Naurez sir about the deal." Reem replied.
"Reem, I don't have enough time for this, just come to the point."  Meerab snapped.
"He came by and he cancelled the deal Meerab." Reem said seriously. Meerab's eyes widened, she looked at Reem trying to find some hint of playfulness in her expression but found nothing, she looked serious, dead serious.
"WHAT?" Meerab said in disbelief. "Reem I swear to god if this is a joke it's NOT FUNNY."
"I'm serious Meerab! He cancelled the deal because that khan didn't approve of it apparently." Reem replied.
"WHAT THE FUCK? He cannot do that what the fuck?! That Zain said khan will agree!! They cannot do thisss!" Meerab said in frustration, her voice exhibiting her anger as she continued, "tell me, what did he ACTUALLY say?"
"I'm not really sure what he said, I just heard snippets." Reem replied, not making eye contact with Meerab. Meerab stood up from her chair in anger and said, "do not test my waters Reem, tell me exactly what you heard."
Reem gulped anxiously as she had never seen Meerab like this, she had always been the sweetest person. Reem tried to find the right words as Meerab eyed her in anger and said, "he was saying something about 'telling the truth' 'shutting down our office' 'handing Naurez to the police'."  Reem herself couldn't find the right words to explain. "I honestly have no idea what they were talking about."
Meerab was confused, she was trying to make sense of what Reem just told her. She was angry, she was frustrated and she wanted to kill that KHAN or whoever the fuck he was. "I will ask him myself." Meerab said in a determined voice as she moved towards the door to have a 'talk' with her boss.
Meerab walked towards Naurez's office in quick strides and entered without knocking. She needed answers and she was gonna get them one way or another. "What is Reem saying sir?" Meerab said as soon as she barged into the room, her voice laced with frustration. "What is she saying? And also is this the way you enter your boss' office?" Naurez asked calmly.
"I'm sorry for barging in like this but she's saying that Zain cancelled the deal because Khan didn't approve? Is this true?" Meerab asked curiously, she did not work this hard for this deal to be cancelled like this. "Ah. Yes he did. But it's okay, this is business, it's very common." Naurez replied as if it didn't affect him at all.
"Sir, they were so sure. I need to know what went wrong. They can't just cancel the deal like this." Meerab said, trying to sound as calm as she could. "I don't know what to tell you meerab but it's their choice, we can't do anything." Naurez said in a a calm tone that irked Meerab. How could he not care about this? She asked herself, she grew suspicious of Naurez's behaviour, he was acting weirdly calm, as if they didn't work day and night for this deal. "But sir-" meerab tried to object but she was cut off by Naurez's firm voice, "no buts Meerab, this is common, it can happen in business so please go back to your office and work. I don't have time for this."
Meerab couldn't help but nod at this as she turned around and left. But Meerab wasn't the one to be stopped, if she wanted answers she was gonna get them. Instead of going back to her office room she went towards the exit of the building towards the parking lot. She quickly sat in her car and drove, she wasn't gonna back down. She drove with determination towards KHAN's office. She needed proper explanations and answers, not those dumb ones that Naurez was giving.
She entered the office and asked the receptionist where this 'khan' was. Before the receptionist could answer her she was interrupted by Zain's voice,  "Meerab?" Zain asked, "what are you doing here?" Zain knew that if Murtasim found out Meerab was here without any reason he would kill him. Meerab looked at Zain, her anger and frustration clearly visible on her face. "Zain, what is all this?" Meerab asked, eyeing Zain with anger. "What?" Zain asked, acting as if he knew nothing. "DO NOT ACT LIKE YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT." Meerab replied, raising her voice as she continued, "I need to meet your boss NOW. Where is this KHAN?'
Zain couldn't help but internally chuckle as he noticed the similarities between Meerab and Murtasim. Meerab, right now was acting like she owned the place and khan was someone she could talk to in this tone. "This is a workplace Meerab, do not raise your voice here. Let's go inside and talk." Zain said as he gestured towards his office room. Meerab quickly complied and moved towards it. Meerab knew she had slight anger issues which make her act without thinking sometimes, but she also knew that this situation required for her to be calm if she wanted answers. She entered the room and Zain entered after her, he gestured her to take a seat.
"What do you wanna talk about?" Zain asked. "I need answers! How can you guys just cancel the deal like that? I WORKED DAY AND NIGHT FOR IT GOD DAMMIT" Meerab replied, her voice laced with frustration. "We had our reasons. It's not my position to make decisions, I can only do what khan asks of me." Zain explained. "Well then, I don't wanna talk to you, I wanna talk to khan." Meerab snapped, clearly not interested in any of the explanations Zain was giving. "I'm afraid that's not possible Meerab, khan doesn't talk to anyone unless he wants to." Zain tried to reason but Meerab was not having it, she kept insisting again and again until Zain finally complied and called Murtasim.
"Hello." Murtasim's voice rang through the phone as it was on speaker mode.
"Um..khan there's someone here who wants to talk to you." Zain said.
"What?" Murtasim asked confusingly.
But before Zain could explain Meerab interrupted him and said, "I wanna talk to you about the business deal you just cancelled out of no where" Meerab said, her voice taking a sarcastic tone at the last part.
Murtasim recognised that voice at once, he could recognise that voice in a crowded room. It was her voice, the one person who stays on his mind 24/7. He couldn't believe it was actually HER on the phone, HIS Meerab was talking to him...again. He didn't wanna make a fool of himself again by giving some awkward reply so he decided to play it cool and asked, "Who is this?" Despite the fact that he knew EXACTLY WHO IT WAS, it was the sole person who managed to capture his heart and mind with one look.
"I'm Meerab, I work at Naurez's firm. You made a deal with us? Remember?" Meerab replied sarcastically. Zain mentally face palmed himself at his friend's antics, he knew him too well to know that he was just trying to play cool in front of meerab by not recognising her. Zain knew that Murtasim must be internally screaming like a teenager right now.
"Oh yes I remember." Murtasim said in a playful tone and continued, " And I also remember cancelling it today miss....meerab."
Meerab rolled her eyes and said, "May I ask WHY you cancelled that deal...sir?"-the last word laced with sarcasm.
"Evai, mann chah raha tha aapko pareshan karne ka." Murtasim teasingly said while trying to suppress his laughter. Meerab gasped at his audacity. His playful demeanour infuriated her, is he flirting with me? Meerab thought to herself.
"For your information, I worked hard for that deal, I worked day and night and you completely discredited me today. It was hands down disrespectful of you to cancel that deal and that too WITHOUT ANY REASON." Meerab snapped.
Murtasim sighed as he realised that he DID kind of hurt Meerab, she did actually work hard for it. He felt he owed her and only HER an explanation. "Meerab," Murtasim began in his calm soft voice and continued, "trust me this HAD to be done, I can't tell you the reason yet. But it's for the best, trust me."
Meerab didn't know what to reply this time, there was something about him and the way he talked to her that made Meerab trust him. Her heart didn't allow her to argue further with him instead it just wanted her to trust him completely. The way he said her name with such softness stirred up some feelings in her heart that she couldn't quite decipher yet. It was weird how a mere stranger was making her feel such things. She thought about how she was here for answers, how she had a raging storm inside her when she came here, how she refused to back down without a fight but now it was all suddenly somehow gone, was it him that calmed the storm inside her? Did this mere stranger just calm Meerab Waqas Ahmed down?
"Hello?" Murtasim said on the phone bringing Meerab out of her thoughts. "Yeah...yeah I'm here, thankyou so much for the explanation sir. Have a nice day" Meerab said as she quickly hung up the phone. She gave the phone back to Zain and excused herself, he just nodded in return. Meerab got out of the office and went towards the parking lot towards her car. She was still thinking about what khan said, what WAS the reason? What actually made him cancel this deal? Meerab's mind went towards the conversation with Reem, she remembered the snippets Reem told her. Meerab knew there was more to this story than she knew.

Meerab reached her office and quickly went inside hoping that no one noticed her absence but her hopes were shattered when she saw Naurez sitting in her cabin, he looked serious. Meerab knew she was in trouble now, after all an employee isn't supposed to leave the office premises during working hours that too 'without any reason'.
"May I ask where you were miss Ahmad?" Naurez asked in a serious tone.
Meerab looked around trying not to make eye contact. "Sir....um" Meerab tried to find the right words.
"You went to the KHAN'S office, didn't you?" Naurez asked in a 'I know what you have been upto' voice. Meerab looked at him in disbelief, how did he find out? She mentally face palmed herself for being so stupid. Meerab knew that lying wouldn't save her for Naurez knew EXACTLY what she's been upto. Mustering up all her courage she said, "yes...yes sir I went there. But only because I needed answers."
Naurez got up from his chair eyeing Meerab with fury. "And DID you find answers?" He asked.
"Not really sir no." Meerab replied, not revealing the information of her call with khan. "You know you just humiliated our company? You didn't go there as Meerab, you were there as a representative of THIS FIRM." Naurez said, his voice raising at the last line. Meerab had never seen Naurez this upset, not with her at least, she had always been the perfect employee but today she acted impulsively. Meerab didn't have any reply. She knew she made a mistake and acted impulsively because of her anger. She stood there, not making eye contact with him but instead looking down at the floor. "What you did today Meerab is unacceptable! This behaviour will not be tolerated here. You've been a good employee but I'm sorry you've ruined your record today." Naurez said, his anger and disappointment clearly visible on his face as he continued, "you're fired. Take your stuff and leave now."
Meerab's eyes widened as she suddenly looked up at Naurez in disbelief. She worked hard for this job she cannot possibly be losing it today. "Sir I'm-" Meerab tried to say but was interrupted by Naurez, "I don't wanna hear anything. Leave now." And with that he left, leaving Meerab alone in her cabin to pack up her stuff. Tears welled up in Meerab's eyes as she gathered her stuff to leave. She just lost her job, something that she worked incredibly hard for. Meerab left the office as fast as she could to avoid any questions from her colleagues. She broke down completely as she sat in her car in the parking lot. She cried and cried. Today was a shitty day for her, all her hard work and everything she worked for was lost. She cried to let it all out not knowing that "someone's" men were always keeping an eye on her, following and reporting on her every move.
