Azwa passed a cute smile and waved her hand at him. Zulaid came near her with a little smile on his face.
"What are you doing here?" He asked after greeting her. He was surprised to see her there at his private clinic. Like Inara, he himself wasn't in favor of meeting before marriage. They were working together but at the workplace they weren't alone.
"Just came to check upon you!" She stated casually.
He just nodded.
"My colleague's father is admitted here. I came to see them. So, I decided to pay you a visit and see your work space" She explained with a light smile.
"What would you like to have?" He asked her.
"Juice would be fine" She smiled.
"How was your call?" He asked.
"Perfect! You have a nice office. It's very cosy" She looked around in the room.
"I designed it myself" He told her.
"Really! You have an artistic touch. Are surgeons also artists" She asked amusingly.
"Surgery is itself an art Azwa!" He smiled, looking at her face.
"Still I don't consider myself an artist" She chuckled. Zulaid joined her.
They had a little conversation and she left after some time. Zulaid kept thinking about her for a few minutes. She was just like the woman he wanted. Mature and Smart.
He wasn't willing to get married before making his career. Now his career was well established and he had no objection to getting married. He was glad that he found Azwa.
He thought life would be peaceful with her.
...
"Oh my God!" Azra shrieked looking at the mark sheet they just got. They were done with their surgery block and the result just came today. Her friend Azra, scored the highest marks in the batch.
Ya Allah! Bachha lena. Inara opened the mark sheet with high hopes.
"Yayyy!" She screamed in happiness after glancing at her marks. She scored well in this block.
She was happy for herself but more for her friend. They decided to go on an outing. They needed to celebrate Azra's success but before that she had to send some messages.
Gladly! I scored 73% in the exams just because you didn't get to take my long case presentation. Always would be grateful to Allah for not making you my examiner. She sent it to Zulaid.
Inara and her friends were going to a nearby restaurant when a message popped up on her mobile.
Draculað§ââï¸: Congratulations! You performed well. Even if I would have taken your exam, you would have gotten good marks.
Inara: jhooth ke paoon nahi hote.
Draculað§ââï¸: par tumhare to hain.
Inara: Ap hoon gy jhoothy.
Draculað§ââï¸: Badtameez.
Inara: Thank you Zoi bhaið
Draculað§ââï¸: You don't deserve any softness. I will see you in house job.
Inara: Okayð
Sorryð«¡
She laughed loudly. She always loved teasing him. In the past few days, he was being different with her. Although she was hurt by his previous behavior, she decided not to have any grudges in her heart against him.
"Inara yar leave this phone" Her friend tried to snatch it from her.
"Okay. Okay" She turned off her mobile and put it in her bag.
They were waiting for their order, busy chatting. Suddenly, Inara felt like she saw someone familiar. She kept looking in the same direction and something struck her. It was undoubtedly Ramish and he wasn't alone. There was a girl with her. He was holding her hand.
Inara's eyes fell at the mobile he was holding. She had messaged him about her result and he didn't reply to her yet. She thought he was busy at work but he was busy somewhere else.
She didn't want to think negative by just looking at a scene in front of her but she was getting negative vibes.
"I have to make an important call. I will be back in a few minutes" She held her bag and excused herself.
She walked upstairs where they both went. She put a surgical mask on her face. Her hair was covered with dupatta. He couldn't identify in this attire.
She confidently walked to his table and sat on the table next to his. They were sitting on her left side. She could hear them clearly.
"Why do you make a fuss of everything?" He asked the girl in front of her with frustration.
"You think you will buy a gift for her and I won't object" The girl was fuming in anger.
"Come on Zoha! I am getting married to her. She is my wife to be. I had to get something for her" He tried to explain.
"Is she that important to you now" Zoha minded.
"Baby why don't you understand I am doing this for us. I agreed to marry her just to please my parents so that they don't object to our relationship again. I am doing it just for us. Why are you getting worried? She would just be my wife. Not my lover. She would just be there for my parents. Even if I were with her, my heart would be only yours.
My parents aren't accepting our relationship Zoha! Why don't you understand I am just trying to please them" He stated in detail.
"I don't like it Ramish! I just can't bear this thought that you would marry someone else. Someone else would take my place" She was crying now.
"No one can take your place. I am yours and I would always be yours. She would just be a show piece. If I make her my parents would be happy and believe me after sometime they would accept you" He held her hand and said softly.
Ramish kept telling his girlfriend about his evil intention. Inara's ears couldn't believe what she was hearing. She couldn't believe a man she believed to be a gentleman was such a disgusting one.
He had a haram relationship.
He agreed to marry Inara, just to please her parents.
He was playing with her emotions, her life.
Tears rolled down on her masked cheeks. She covered her eyes with his hands. Ramish was not being lovely with his girlfriend and she was hearing it. He was taking advantage of her. She remembered their conversations. She was getting used to him and what he did.
She gathered the torn pieces of her heart and rose up from her chair.
"Where were you yar?" Azra asked her worriedly.
"I need to go home. It's an emergency. Sorry to ditch you guys!" She excused herself.
Holding her mobile phone to her ear, she was walking on the footpath.
"Hello! Inara!" Hamad said from the other side.
"Hamad" She cried.
"Inara what happened? Are you alright?" He panicked.
"I am not alright" She cried out.
He asked her about the location and instructed her to wait there for him. He came there in half an hour. He found her sitting outside a shop. Her head was hung down.
"Inara! Damn it! What happened?" He sat next to her.
"Ramish is a cheater" She told him with tears in her eyes.
"What?"
"He is a bloody cheater. Kutta. Kamina" Inara cursed him at the end
"Are you going nuts? Tell me what's wrong" He held her hand and made her stand.
Inara told him everything she heard and saw. She poured her heart out to him. She could see anger in his eyes.
"You don't need to be worried Inara! I am with you. Trust me I won't leave that bastard. Let's go home!"
..................................................................
Our world is full of fake gentlemen like Ramish. Watch out girls. Not every sweet and nice man is actually a gentleman!
Zulaid bhai to phass gae ab!!!
