Umair's POV

I couldn't believe what Maira had done. She hadn't thought about her family once before leaving like this.

And Zaviyaar Jalal Khan. I wasn't going to let him go easy. He took away my little sister from me and I'm sure he fed these thoughts to her.

Firstly I called Maira's friends to know if they knew anything. Both of them knew nothing but I didn't believe them. Maira always told these two everything.

The whole Sunday I tried contacting people who would let me know the address of Zaviyaar but it wasn't as easy as I thought. Zaviyaar's Father, Jalal Khan is one of the most well known businessmen of Pakistan thus making it extremely difficult for me to get his address.

At around 12 at night, after trying for so long and contacting everyone relevant, I got the address and I was going to pay them a visit a tomorrow, hopefully bring back my sister.

*****

It was already 1 pm when I reached Jalal Khan's place.

I was asked many things before I was allowed to go in but eventually I did and then I was led into the luxurious drawing room. This house felt more like a mansion than house.

I sat waiting for Jalal Khan to show up. He entered the drawing room wearing a simple shalwar kameez. Unlike to what I've heard about him.

"Maira kahan hai?" I asked without beating around the bush.

"Aap kon?" He asked.

"Uss larki ka bhai jis larki se apke bete ne bhaag ke shadi ki hai" I gritted my teeth.

"Beta aap betho araam se baat karte hain" he said taking a seat.

"Uncle main aapse badtameezi nahi karna chahta lekin apke bete ne bohot hi giri huwi harkat ki hai. Agar apki beti ko koi aise bhaga ke le jaata tou apko kaisa lagta?" I knew he didn't like my words as I saw his jaws clenching but I cared the least.

"Nikkah kiya hai usne koi ghalat kaam nahi" He justified.

"Larki ko bhaga ke. Apki nazar main sahi hai kiya?"

"Donon bachy ek dusre ko pasand karte rahe hain. Aapko khush hona chahiye hai ke bachon ne nikkah kiya hai koi ghalat kaam nahi." He replied coldy. Clearly showing that he didn't want to be a part of this conversation.

"All I want is my sister. Just tell me where she is" I said but my voice rose an octave unintentionally, I was getting frustrated.

"Don't take that tone with me young man. Let my son and daughter-in-law live in peace. They're happy together so just be happy for your sister. Now you should get going before anything goes south which you and I both know won't be an ideal situation." He said while his jaws were clenched.

I got up and without another word I got out of that house and drove back home.

Maira's POV

It was the next day after our nikkah. We both slept in as we came back to our apartment late in the night and then I couldn't sleep as I was too anxious thinking about what happened back home as I received a call from Arisha and Mishal both that Umair bhai had called them asking them about my whereabouts. I got really anxious about that so Zavi and I were uptil 3 last night watching an old bollywood comedy movie to divert my mind.

It was 2 in the noon already when Zaviyaar's phone rang waking me up as well. He sleepily picked up his phone from the bedside table.

"Hello" He said in his morning voice. Immediately he sat up staright which was alarming. I too sat up straight intently looking at Zaviyaar.
