Part nine
Shamsher 's bedroom
Loud bangs on the door . Mrs. Shamsher unlocked it complaining about the disturbance late night and the house keeper alerted the couple that their son took off furiously screaming ekam ko mar dalunga( i will kill ekam) numerous times .
They freaked out at once leaving in a hurry in their night suits. The furious Shamsher was upset with his son's Idiocracy. He just got released. Is he planning to go into prison again. M*r*n
Mrs. Shamsher advised him to remain calm. She was extremely worried about her husband and son's conflicts lately. Nehmat was a bad luck to them. She ruined everything.
At Ekam "s residence.
The men fought fiercely. Malika and her mum stood in a corner. Panicked and terrified. Advait behaved like an injured lion. He could kill her brother. What made him sooo angry.
After pounding his fist one after the other on Ekam 's face and pushing him around the living room breaking the wooden furniture, he finally spoke.
" Teri himmat kaise hui meri biwi ko hath legane ki!!"
( How dare u touch my wife?)
" Kahan chupaya hain usko.!! Nehmat kahan hain!!"
( Where did u hide her. Where is Nehmat)
He couldn't reply as he was already weak from the blow he received on his head at the hotel. Ekam fell unconscious on rhe floor. Advait never stopped. He continued kicking him till his parents arrived and stopped him.
Three tight slaps on his right cheek one after the other from mr. Shamsher.
" Pagal ho geya kya!! Dobara jail jana chahta hain!!"
( Are u crazy. U want to go to prison )
He pushed his father aside.
" Pagal mein nehin ap ho, jisko sirf apna political career or image dikhti hain. Meri biwi la peta hain. Koi fikar hain uski!!"
( U are crazy for being obsessive about ur political career and image. My wife is missing. Are u even worried).
Mrs. Shamsher interfered consoling her son.
" Tu shant hoja. Nehmat mil jaigi".
( Calm down, nehmat will be found).
He walked towards Malika and blurted angrily in English.
" Want to know the truth. I never loved u. I only used u to separate ur brother with his gf. I am sorry if u are hurt. I am a married man now. It makes no difference to me if u are in my life or not. But it makes a difference if your best friend is missing. Coz she is my wife. So u move on".
He left towards his car to search for his missing wife with his father trying to stop him explaining the media is everywhere. If anyone sees him in that condition roaming on the streets middle of the night looking out for his wife, their image will be tarnished. They will be the talk of town. As it is his political career is on stake after the arrest.
He ignored his father's plight and speeded on the roads of Moga looking out for his missing wife. Mrs. Shamsher felt something amiss about her son. He was changing. The obedient son never went against his father. Was he getting attracted to Nehmat?? Thousands of questions in her mind. The puzzled mother worried for her son. He was getting closer to a woman who loved another man .
An hour later
He drove recklessly on the empty streets. It was past midnight. There was no sight of her.
A call came in from his mother who instructed him to return to the mansion
Nehmat reached home safely.
Minutes later at Kapoor's residence.
As he walked into the living room, the family was already seated, waiting for him except for Nikhil who was fast asleep after taking medication. He was down with cold.
Naaz was covered in a blanket. She was bruised from head to toe with stitches all over her body.
Indications of injuries . Nehmat sat right beside consoling her crying sibling.
He pulled her to the side shocking everyone present demanding for an answer as to why she went missing after meeting him at the prison.
She tried explaining but he kept on shouting at her that she should consider about other's feelings. She could have at least made a call or texted her whereabouts.
The puzzling fact was he never questioned her about Ekam. If she had slept with him ? Has he forgotten or was he afraid?His parents exchanged glances. Over there, he beat the sh** out of Ekam and over here he didn't even enquire her. It's an indication every man is afraid of his wife
The puzzling fact
What was he afraid of ?? That she might slap him or leave him?
Leave him?
Mrs. Shamsher was sure now that something definitely was amiss. Advait acted weirdly.
Was he attracted to Nehmat much earlier and never realized it
His aunt pulled him back to the living room sofa and instructed him to take a seat. She then spilled the details of the day to him calmly.
After leaving the hotel, Nehmat decided to go home. She hailed a taxi On her way back, she saw Naaz walking on the roadside with a friend carrying some shopping bags.
Suddenly, a masked man rushed out from a black van and ambushed her. She was kidnapped. Nehmat instructed the taxi driver to track the culprit and managed to rescue Naaz with the help of a few farmers.
She was taken to a deserted shoe factory nearby some cropfields. Over there she was beaten badly by three women cursing her . U destroyed ur sister's life. She was held captive.
Nehmat managed to get hold of a few men walking towards their cropfields and requested for help. Naaz was rescued but had to be taken to the hospital. During the brawl, Nehmat's phone was destroyed. So was naaz. That explained she couldn't inform anyone. She got panicked in her sister rescue mission.
Naaz was escorted to her bedroom by her mother in law.
He took Nehmat 's hand and pulled her towards his bedroom. He was not satisfied with the explanation. Mr. Shamsher looked on anxiously.
Will Nehmat tell him the truth?? That it was her who rescued him
In the bedroom,
He took the first aid box and mended the bruises on her face and arms. He lectured her for not getting a treatment at the hospital.
As soon as he finished, he looked her straight into the eye.
She knew he demanded answers. Shamsher has informed her about the incident in Ekam 's house.
She took a deep breath and naratted how she fooled Ekam witt his father's help. He searched her carefully to see if she spoke the truth.
Minutes later, they went to bed without wishing one another goodnight. He slept in his bed instead of the balcony. She slept on the couch and dozed off immediately due to tiredness of the day but he remained awake The fact of her sleeping with her ex shook him real hard.
Mrs. Shamsher sipped a cup of coffee all alone in the living room in the dark.
Something was amiss. Advait is not in himself lately.
