Part 11
Back at the mansion,
Tanveer was not at the table for dinner.
She was very very angry, she was angrily fingering her prayer beads when they came apart and scrambled to the floor. " another inauspicious sign!" she hissed angrily.
She had just received news that the Bhopal stadium was being prepared for the biggest festival in many decades, the inauguration of the 10th Nawab of BHOPAL
How dare he? How dare they, the special space he had reserved for her own son is now going to Ahil.
There was a knock on the door and in came Ahil,
"Ami you are the best mom in the whole world, I want to tell you what's in my heart. You have chosen the kindest sweetest girl in the whole world to be my wife, and I wish to thank you, and she has arranged for the inauguration tomorrow single handedly, " he proclaimed proudly, " Ami the same inauguration which you always dreamt of which I never wanted, Sanam has convinced me that this will make you happy, you are happy aren't you?"
Tanveer gave a fake smile and nodded, " so that's what the bi#%h is up to, "she thought angrily. Ahil did not even think of asking her, for the first time he was informing her.
"Ok Ami I am so tired, we will see you at the inauguration tomorrow at 4 pm"
Ahil kissed the back of her hands and quickly walked to his room.
Ahil had dropped Sanam at Haya's house and told Rahat to drop her after dinner as her mood swings confused the hell out of him and he figured that she wanted some time alone with her family. Sanam was touched by his gesture
Dinner was special as Sanam could see the bond between Rahat and Haya, and after dinner Rahat told her that he Sanam that he loved Haya and that he wanted to marry her. Sanam was besides herself with joy, she hugged Both Haya and Rahat and started her Bhangra dance second time today. She did not want to tell Haya about the sordid past and this distraction temporarily decreased the agony in her heart.
Munisa was being very pleasant, especially when she heard that Ahil will be inaugurated, and she will be given a prestigious seat.
But she was still mean to Haya and did not allow her to accompany Sanam home, but engaged her in washing the dishes.
As soon as Rahat drove into the nawab's haveli, Sanam got apprehensive, she started hearing screams of her parents and she put her hands to her ears to block them.
Rahat had noticed this and placed his hand on hers,
" Sanam what is wrong, why you are behaving very strange,
" it's nothing Rahat,"
"No tell me, is it Ahil?
Sanam looked at Rahat, he seemed honest, and she needed to share with someone, she would have talked to Rehaan but he seems to be very close to Tanveer so he can't be trusted.
Sanam told Rahat everything, Rahat looked very pensive, " you know I have joined the force again, this time as a collateral collaboration with the police, so I have access to all police investigations and evidence," he told her.
"I will dig up the case and you be careful". He gave her a secret number which he told her to call if she got in trouble and within seconds her location will be confirmed, and he also gave her a taser, which can momentarily paralyze someone.
"Tanveer is very dangerous, be careful."
"I know, she once tried to bury me alive but Ahil, saved me, Haye Allah Ahil I forgot about him! sorry Rahat have to go."
"You take care, Khuda haafiz. "
Once inside, Sanam met a draught of cold air. This was her childhood home, where she was a baby, she learnt to walk and talk here, and she had the most loving parents...
Again the tears started, she thought talking to Rahat would ease her pain but no, this place was drenched with the blood of her parents and the perpetrator was enjoying her life in this same mansion.
She approached her room with a heavy heart, ...
