Mistress

Chapter 30- A woman in veil

The Next Day

Author's p.o.v

Sehreyar is getting ready for the office. He is just thinking about Meher and becoming impatient to meet

her. He is 100% sure that it was Meher whom he saw yesterday.

His detective is still collecting the CCTV footage as its illegal to give CCTV footage to someone

randomly. Sehreyar told his detective to throw some money on the ice cream parlour owner's face and

collect the footage as soon as possible.

Sehreyar is wearing his coat when Sajal hugged him from behind. She said softly," dear husband,

come back home early. I always miss you."

" Don't be clingy. Leave me. Don't you have any shame? Stop throwing yourself on me," Sehreyar said

annoyingly and jerked off Sajal from his body.

Sajal said angrily," I have hugged my husband. Not any stranger."

" We are husband and wife in front of the whole society but what's the reality we know very well,"

Sehreyar replied and started to leave the room.

Before he could leave, Sajal said sternly," What if I become pregnant with your child. Then you will be

considerate to me. Right?"

Sehreyar turned and asked her sarcastically," And exactly how you will become pregnant with my child

without my cooperation?"

Sajal smirked and whispered in his ears," I have already taken what's lawfully mine."

After that, she shared everything about that night when Sehreyar was unconscious. She told him

everything whatever she had done with him.

" You bitch! You took advantage of my unconscious state! How dare you to spike my drink!" Sehreyar

growled holding Sajal's hairs tightly.

Sajal replied smirking," It was my right. And I know exactly how to take what is mine."

Sehreyar is going to say something when his phone started ringing. He saw the caller id and it's from

his detective. He knew it's an important call.

" I will deal with you later," Sehreyar said angrily and stormed out of the room with his ruined mood.

Sajal said dramatically looking at Sehreyar's retreating figure," Very soon I will be pregnant with your

child. I will see how you ignore me at that time."

After some time Sajal is now doing some work in her room when Haniya entered into the room without

any noise.

" Bhabi(sister-in-law)," Haniya called and Sajal looked at the door becoming startled.

Sajal said taking a breath," You almost scared me. Come, please. Don't stand at the door."

Haniya smiled and walked to Sajal. She sat beside Sajal and started talking with her about many

things. Haniya is telling many things to Sajal about her daughter Husna.

Sajal is very happy about Haniya that finally, this poor girl has found some happiness in her life.

Suddenly, Haniya asked Sajal," May I ask you something, Bhabi?"

" Yeah. Of course," Sajal replied looking cautious.

Haniya asked Sajal with a suspicious look," Is everything alright between you and bhaiya?"

Hearing the question Sajal became surprised. She thought mentally," Haniya shouldn't know the truth

about our relationship."

" Yeah. Everything is alright," Sajal replied masking her worried expression.

Haniya just nodded her head but she isn't fully convinced. She can sense the tension in Sajal.

" Why are you asking like that?" Sajal asked Haniya curiously.

Haniya replied," I don't like Bhai's behaviour to you. That's why I asked the question."

Sajal replied chuckling," Your bhai is just always busy in works. He has to take care of his whole

business alone which always lead him to ruined mood. That's why he behaved roughly sometime.

Otherwise, he loves me a lot."

Hearing her, Haniya didn't say anything further about this matter. She is now thinking about something

deeply.

Then, she asked Sajal directly," Is there another woman in Bhai's life? What are you hiding bhabi?"

Hearing the question from Haniya, Sajal became startled. She wasn't expecting this type of question

from Haniya.

" What do you mean?" Sajal asked Haniya sternly and tried to act normal.

Haniya replied knitting her brows," I don't know why I am feeling that you are hiding something and

Dadi also knew about something which I don't know."

This time Sajal became uncomfortable and thinking why Haniya is interrogating her.

" There is nothing like that. Come on. Stop acting like a spy. Let's make some cookies," Sajal replied

diverting the topic and started dragging Haniya to the kitchen.

Haniya isn't saying anything but her whole mind is occupied by the conversation which she heard last

night between Sajal and their Dadi.

Sehreyar's p.o.v

" So, Meher is alive," I said looking at the CCTV footage and Ahsan said yes.

In the footage, I saw Meher is eating ice cream with a little kid. I am wondering who is this little kid. For

now, the kid is not my concern. Only Meher is my concern. If I find her than this little kid's identity will

be automatically revealed.

After knowing that Meher is alive I am feeling so happy which I can't describe in words. I am thanking

Allah continuously that finally, I come to know that Meher is alive. This time I will not let her go. She is

mine. I will marry her and make her my wife. If it takes me to divorce Sajal then I will do it gladly.

I ordered Ahsan," Find out Meher as soon as possible. I can't wait to meet her."

"The work will be done," Ahsan obeyed and going to leave my office when I called him by his name.

He turned his face to me and I said to him angrily," Tell the inspector Abhinash to meet me right now. I

want to know why he told lies about Meher's death."

" I will inform him right now," Ahsan said and left my office hurriedly.

After one hour

" You called me, Mr Seikh. Any emergency?" Inspector Abhinash said and asked for permission to

enter into my office cabin.

Well, a police inspector is giving me so much respect because he knew about my friendship with the

high profile police officials and the powerful politicians. He knew what kind of power I hold.

I replied smiling," Oh, please. Come in, Inspector Abhinash. I have something important to discuss with

you."

He came forward and I gestured him to sit on the chair in front of me. I ordered my PA to send two cups

of coffee.

" What's the matter Mr Seikh? Is everything alright? He asked me curiously.

I chuckled and walked to his direction. I rested my one hand on his shoulder and said dramatically,"

Everything will be alright when you will tell me the truth about Meher and her brother's death."

" What are you talking about?" he asked me becoming shocked. I can sense that he is panicking like

someone has revealed his some kind of secret.

He is going to stand up when I forcefully seated him back and said dangerously," Will you tell me why

you said that you have found Meher's dead body and her brother's body in my farmhouse where Meher

is still alive?"

" I don't know what are you talking about? Meher Afroz Khan is dead," Inspector Abhinash said with his

fake confidence.

I replied angrily showing him the CCTV footage," Then, who is this girl? Is she her ghost? It's clear that

Meher Afroz Khan is alive."

Seeing the footage he started mumbling and trying to make any excuse. I saw him sweating.

I threatened him wiping the sweat beads from his forehead with a tissue paper," Sala kamina! Aab tu

apna yay muh khulega(Bastard! Now will you open your mouth?) Or, I should Call the DGP to suspend

you right now. I think you know very well about my power."

" No. Mr Seikh. Don't call the DGP. I will tell every truth right now," He replied getting scared. He knew

very well about my threat that I don't fuss in the air.

I said going back to my sit," Now, start. Tell me the truth."

Then, he started saying," I was offered a huge amount of money to say lie about Meher Afroz Khan's

death."

I became surprised hearing the information. Who would want like that? Is it Sajal? She is always

jealous of Meher. Maybe she did all this to keep me away from Meher. If she is the one who made me

stay away from Meher than I will show her hell for sure.

" Who gave you the money? I asked inspector Abhinash curling my brows.

He replied," Ek burkhewali awrat mujhse milne aayi thi( A woman in veil came to meet me. She gave

the money.)

" Who was that woman? Don't you have her any kind of information like where she lives, what does she

do, her phone number, etc," I asked him impatiently.

He replied nodding his head in negative," I don't know anything about her. She never showed me her

face nor gave me any information about herself."

I warned him dangerously," Are you saying the truth? If I find that you are lying then ........"

I couldn't complete my sentence when he said almost pleading," Mr Seikh. I am saying the truth. If you

don't trust me then you can check about the authenticity of my information."

Seeing his behaviour I decided to trust him for now. I need to find out Meher first. Then, I will deal with

that burkhewali awrat( Woman is veil). I am sure it's none other than Sajal.

I dismissed Inspector Abhinash and ordered him to inform me if he finds out any information about that

woman who is the reason behind my belief that Meher is no more. I don't know why I am feeling that it's

Sajal. I have to find out.

Author's p.o.v

After talking with Sehreyar, Inspector Abhinash came out of Sehreyar's office and called someone

immediately.

He is looking very tensed and sweating profusely. He was told to not open his mouth ever but he

couldn't keep his promise.

After a few calls, the other person received the call and said," Hello, Inspector Abhinash. How are you?

You have called me after a long time." From NôvelDrama.Org.

" Mam, I am in trouble. I couldn't keep my promise," Inspector Abhinash replied hurriedly.

The other person asked him confusingly," What are you talking about?"

After that, Inspector Abhinash told everything about Sehreyar's inquiry. He informed her that Sehreyar

is searching for Meher like a madman.

" Then why did I give you so much money? You couldn't even keep a single secret. You are totally

useless. ," The other person said angrily.

Inspector Abhinash replied being irritated," What I am supposed to do when Mr Sehreyar was

threatening me by using my job? It's not my fault."

" Did you tell him about my identity? Did he know who I am?" The other person asked worriedly.

Then, Inspector Abhinash replied smilingly," I didn't reveal your identity in front of Mr Sehreyar. I am not

that fool. But, you have to be careful. Mr Seikh is searching for you."

The other person took a relief of breath and replied," Thanks to Allah that you didn't reveal my identity

and don't worry about me. I will handle Sehreyar. Let's not talk about this matter anymore. I am giving

you another work. I hope you will do that properly."

" What kind of work?" Inspector Abhinash asked confusingly.

The other person replied," You have to find out Meher Afroz Khan before Sehreyar finds out her. Can

you do that for me? If you do this then I will give you so much money that you don't have to work in the

police anymore. You will live like a king."

She tried to lure Inspector Anbhinash with money. As a greedy and corrupted police officer Inspector

Anbhinash agreed immediately to the offer.

He said smiling," Your work will be done. I will start searching for Meher Afroz Khan right now. "

" Fine. I will be waiting for the good news," The other person said and cut the call.

After cutting the call the other person said angrily," This girl is again back. This time I have to teach her

a good lesson before she appears in front of Sehreyar."

At Night

At Meher's place

Meher is doing some work on her laptop. She has started working as an Architect and just in one day,

she has got some new projects to finish.

She is very busy in her life with her work and Mehrab. She has already appointed a nanny for Mehrab

whose job is to take care of Mehrab whenever Meher isn't at home.

Meher wanted to go in front of Sehreyar but jerked off the idea after thinking about Mehrab's safety.

She is still afraid about the fact of living in Mumbai.

Meher is engrossed in her work when she heard Mehrab's innocent voice. Mehrab called Meher from

the bed," Manma, me not finding sip in my eyz(Mamma, I am not finding any sleep in my eyes)".

" Mamma will sing a lullaby for you. Then, you will find sleep in your eyes," Meher said affectionately

and laid down on the bed beside Mehrab.

She pulled him into her chest started stroking his hairs to make him sleep. She is going to sing a lullaby

when Mehrab asked Meher curiously," Mamma, du avryone has Papa(Mamma, do everyone has

papa?) Du me have Papa(Do I have Papa?)

Meher become startled hearing Mehrab. She is surprised because Mehrab doesn't talk about this Papa

things often. He talked about this thing when he saw Sehreyar's photo in the magazine for the first

time.

" Why are you asking that? Did anyone say anything to you?"Meher asked him worriedly.

Mehrab replied innocently," I ash thi saim qution to Siya aunty(Mehrab's nanny) and she tell me thet

everyone hes Papa( I asked the same question to Siya aunty and she told me that everyone has Papa)

Meher smiled after hearing his information and replied affectionately," You know what there some

special child in this earth who doesn't have Papa. Actually, they don't need any Papa. You are one of

them. You are a special kid."

Mehrab is convinced by his mother thinking that he is a special kid. Unknown to him that his mother is

crying for some unknown reason. He heard his mother singing a lullaby with her heavy voice. His little

mind didn't understand what his mother has gone through for him.
