"Yes, sir. This body is your to do whatever and however you see fit." She replied while squeezing her boobs.

Irtaza took out the the gun that was tucked in his waistband and pointed at her forehead while grinning evilly.

The girl started trembling in fear, "I..I..I'm.ss.sorry sir...plea." Her pleading got interrupted with her loud screams in the soundproof room and he shot her twice in the forehead.

He then called one of his men and ordered him,
"Throw away this filth somewhere."

The next day, around early evening, Anum dressed up in a red Anarkali suit with subtle makeup and silver heels. As usual, she wore a veil covering her body.

Anum and her family arrived at Shehreyar's house in the evening.

The elders engaged in conversations while Anum and Shehreyar sat quietly, stealing glances at each other.

Mariyam complimented Anum, saying, "Anum, I really liked the tea you made the other day. Would you please make it again for us?"

Anum replied with a smile, "Of course, Aunty. I'll go and bring tea for everyone." Mariyam then instructed the maid, to show her the kitchen, "Zainab, jao jaake kitchen dikhao Anum ko." Mariyam instructed the maid.

The maid guided Anum to the kitchen.

After some time, Anum prepared tea for everyone and headed to the living room where the guests were seated.
However, she realized she had forgotten the sugar canister, thinking that someone might want extra sugar in their tea.

She handed the tea tray to Zainab, instructing her to take it to the living room, and then she returned to the kitchen to get the sugar canister.

Anum turned around to leave the kitchen, when she accidentally bumped into Irtaza's shoulder. Because of the sudden turn, her hair brushed against his face lightly.
As soon as his eyes met hers, his eyes widened in surprise and mouth opened slightly.

While Anum moved back, started rubbing her forehead to ease the pain and mumbled a small sorry to him while he remained speechless.

Mariyam exclaimed happily, "Irtaza!! Mera bacha agaya!!" (My child has come!)

She went over to him and hugged him tightly.

"Bataya kyun nahi ke ane wala hai? Me tere saare pasandida khaney banati," she asked. (Why didn't you let me know that you're coming? I would've cooked all your favorite dishes)

Irtaza, seemingly ignoring his mother's remarks, turned his attention to Anum and asked, "Mom, yeh kon hai?" (Mom, who is this?)

Mariyam replied with happiness, "Oh yeh Anum hai.
Shehreyar ki hone wali biwi." (This is Anum.
Shehryar's future wife.)

Irtaza reacted angrily, exclaiming, "What!" He then went to the living room where everyone was seated and questioned his father about the situation, "Dad!
What's happening here?"

"Arey Irtaza, tum kab aye?" His asked him while standing up. (When did you come)

"Yeh mera bara beta hai, Irtaza. Saara karobaar yehi sambhalta hai." Ibrahim introduced his son to Anum's family proudly. (He is my elder son) (He is the one who handles all the business) Anum and Mariyam also came there.

Seeing Farhan there, surprised Irtaza a little bit when he got to know that he is Anum's brother, but then a wicked smile made its way on his lips.

"Aj hamne Shehreyar aur Anam ki shaadi ki date teh kardi hai. They're getting married in two weeks." Ibrahim told Irtaza.

"What! Itni jaldi! Abhi umar hi kya hai Shehreyar ki!
Ap aise kaise kar sakte hain? Dono kam umar hain.
Na samajh hain. Koi compatibility nahi hai. Na Shehreyar abhi kaam kar raha hai. Irtaza exclaimed at his dad with a hint of anger. (So soon! Shehreyar is so young! How could you do this? They're both young and foolish. There's no compatibility between them. Neither Shehreyar has a job right now)

Anum's family wasn't pleased with Irtaza's objections but chose to remain silent.

"Irtaza. Me already tum se yeh baat kar chuka hoon.
Bachey ek dusre ko pasand karte hain, aur ghar ke baro ko faisla karne diya. Toh is mein galat kya hai?
Aur me tumse already baat kar chuka hun, tumhari marzi bhi hai ismein toh ab tum kyun mana kar rahe ho? And rahi baat Shehreyar ke kaam ki, Me ne already usko Khan enterprises ka dusra branch de diya hai sambhane ko." Ibrahim tried to make him understand. (I've already talked to you about this.
The kids like each other and they let the elders take the decision. Then what is wrong in this? Moreover, I've already talked to you about this, you agreed to it as well then why are you objecting now? And I've already given Shehreyar another branch of Khan enterprises to take care of)

Ibrahim knows that Irtaza doesn't like to be around Shehreyar then both of them working together is impossible. That is why he let Shehreyar handle the other office which is in a different city.

Irtaza looked at Anum angrily who was already looking at him annoyedly.

"Okay dad, you're right." Irtaza responded to his dad softly.

He then took a seat next to his dad while a maid came towards him and served him a glass of water.

They all started talking again while Irtaza kept staring at Anum with hard eyes, making her feel uncomfortable.

Irtaza's phone started ringing, seeing the caller id, he excused himself, "I have to go for some work."

"What! But you just got here. You didn't even eat anything." Mariyam said worriedly.

"It's okay, Mariyam. Let him go. Irtaza, I want you home within 2 hours, I have to discuss something with you." He told Irtaza while glancing at his Richard Mille wristwatch.

"Okay dad." Irtaza agreed and left from there, but not before glancing at Anum and giving her a wink while she immediately looked down feeling uncomfortable.
