A handsome guy could be seen in the crowd , watching the motor show. he was feeling energy radiating from him . cars and motorbikes were something he was passionate about. he liked taking part in races also. he was here with his friends Ali, Saad, and Shehroz.
"check that car " hartaj said pointing towards a black modified ferrari.
" you only check the cars, and theres a crowd checking you out" ali muttered begrudgingly.
" i will check them out later , right now , i have better things to see" hartaj said with a laugh.
saad and shehroz shook their heads.

As planned, hukumyaar took mahrosh with her the same day. she was scared , as she didnt know what to expect of hukumyaar. shehnaaz beghum had said some really nice things about hukumyaar, but as much as she had seen , he was a laghari all the way. he didnt look kind to her at all.
they reached hukumyaar's karachi home by midnight. it was a beautiful bungalow with a lush garden in the front. hukumyaar had been living here since 5 years for his studies. an middle aged couple took care of the house. ( rabia bi and zafar)
the lady had already gone to their quarters as it was midnight, hukumyaar got water for mahrosh. she was shocked seeing him serve her .
hukumyaar took a seat beside her on the sofa. mahrosh flinched away ." hey relax, you dont need to be scared of me " he said in a calm voice.
" are you hungry ?" he asked and mahrosh shook her head.
" okay then come , i will show you your room . its the room beside mine. after you wake up , rabia bi will show you around the house, tell her to cook what you like " he was talking while walking with her hand in his.
" this is your room from now on , i have asked rabia bi to set it in the evening , the door next door is my room. " he said as he entered the room . when she didnt say anything, he had to turn towards her. she was looking down , biting her lip.
" what happened ?" he asked lifting her chin. he saw that her eyes were filled with unshed tears.
" can anyone sleep here with me ? i cant sleep alone at night, i have nightmares" she said as two tears slipped on her cheeks.
" who slept with you at home?" he asked simply .
" at home ,ammi had told a maid to sleep with me " she said with quivering lips.
hukumyaar took a deep breathe. " okay , you can sleep in my room. theres no one else, who can sleep in your room here." hukumyaar said reluctantly. mahrosh nodded her head quickly , anything was better than sleeping alone.
hukumyaar took her to his room, he asked her to freshen up , meanwhile he put his stuff in place. after they were ready for bed ,hukumyaar laid on the right side of bed. mahrosh was standing near the bed, feeling shy .
" come and sleep " hukumyaar said . the bed was big enough to accomodate 3 people . she laid down on her side and there was still easily a feet distance between them . hukumyaar fell asleep soon , as he was tired from all the travelling he had done. he also needed to wake up early tomorrow.
