"Hey, What are you doing?" She came before Sufyan standing between and pushed Danial back which didn't have much effect on him, but she herself staggered backwards and hit Sufyan's chest. Although her body was weak, but her intentions seemed very dangerous. She was glowering at him. Danial eyes were fixed on her beauty.
"Maha! Go inside. " Sufyan grabbed maah e roo's shoulders.
"no. Let me teach a lesson to this ashole. How dared he to hit you" She said furiously moving towards him to attack Danial but Sufyan stopped her. Danial came into senses. His face turned red with anger.
"Maha." Sufyan called her.
"No, don't stop me. I want to slap this jerk." She tried to release herself from sufyan's grip. Her words made Danial vexed.
"Mah e Roo . Just stop it And go into your room." Sufyan said, turning her to her room. He didn't want Danial to look at her.
" If you remain silent even after being beaten, shouldn't I fight for you? You get out of here. I will fight this beast alone," she said, pushing him too.
"watch your mouth Mah e roo." Danial shuddered with anger at the word Beast for himself.
"I won't, what will you do? You can do nothing. Because you are Little brat , jerk, idiot."she burst out. Danial was stunned. His blood boiled and hit his temples.
"shut up."
"I didn't say anything yet, roly poly. Look at yourself how fat you are. The clothes are about to tear. Tell me one thing. didn't your pants tear while climbing the stairs?" She laughed, making fun of him. Danial forgot to flirt with her and started fighting with her.
"Stop the nonsense, psycho." He shouted. Maah e roo stopped for a moment then rushed upon him like a rocket. Before Sufyan could control her, she had hit her head to Danialcs nose. He screamed, staggering back. His eyes filled with water due to pain.
"Come on boy. Let's fight. " Maah e roo was encouraged as her hit affected Danial fully. Sufyan took her in his arms from behind
"Leave me. I won't go to my room until I make this idiot's face red by slapping him. Just Leave me once. I'll pull all the hair out of his head and make him bald. I will take out all the teeth from his mouth and put them on his palm. I will take out his eyeballs and make him deaf. " She was bragging rapidly. Sufyan could not help but smiled. Danial's anger increased.
" Blind, not deaf" Sufyan said, trying to divert her attention.
"What?" She paused for a moment. Then she understood and nodded.
"ohh Yes, I'll make him blind. And I'll twist his neck. And … and…" She was just saying more but Sufyan put his hand over her mouth because he knew that the limit of Danial's patience had ended.
"I stopped you to meet her. But you didn't listen to me. you have met her go back, otherwise she will bury your remaining dignity and honor here." Sufyan asserted. Danial gazed at both of them with his red eyes and went from there. When Sufyan heeded towards Mah e Roo, he was shocked. Mah e Roo was unconscious in his arms.
.. .. .. .. .. .. .. …
Maha!!" Sufyan was trying to resuscitate her after laying her down on the bed in her room.
"Mah e roo!! " He called her, holding her both shoulders. She got semiconscious . Her eyes were not opened but she shrunk her eyebrows as if she were feeling pain somewhere.
"Mah e roo open your eyes". Sufyan said, patting her cheeks.
"Don't…don't kill me." She muttered and shook her head in Daniel. Sufyan looked at her In amazement.
"Mah e Roo come to your senses. Look . It's me. Saifi. " He called her again. Mah e roo opened her eyes with a scream. She was scared to feel Sufyan's hands on her cheeks. Sufyan was looking at her anxiously. He didn't understand why she was afraid.
"Mah e roo." He addressed her.
"Leave me. Don't kill me" Mah e roo was feeling suffocated. She jerked his hands from herself in a thrusting way . Her heart was aching. When Sufyan put his hand trying to stop her speaking , she thought he was trying to kill her by throttling like Nayab. As She was already suffering from nasal congestion, she felt shortness of breath by his hand on her mouth and fainted because of fear. It was a psychiatric problem of her mind which was developed due to torturing behavior of Nayab.
"Relax Maha. I am not doing anything. I am not killing you. Look at me . I am your Friend. Saifi" Sufyan said anxiously.
"Saifi!" she looked at him carefully and then remembered everything about before. "Why did you put your hand on my mouth? " she asked in an uncertain tone.
"So that you don't fight Danial " he replied politely.
"Ohh okay . I thought you were killing me" she said, thanking God in her heart. Sufyan's eyebrows shrunk in surprise.
"Why did you think like that , Mah e roo?" he asked seriously. She looked at him in confusion.
"I don't know, " she replied in an embarrassed tone. He was her best friend. How could he kill her? Only Nayab could do this.
"Has anyone tried to kill you like this before? " He was not a stupid who couldn't understand her behavior. Her fear was not without any valid reason.
"No" she said in a low voice. If she told about Nayab , she would really kill her by throttling.
" Mah e roo. I am your best friend . Tell me the truth. Why were you so scared?" he tried to persuade her .
" I've told you . I don't know why I was afraid. Don't annoy me. I want to sleep. " She laid down to sleep, leaving him in anxious thoughts.

She saw herself in a beautiful white and golden silk dress full of beads. Her long silky hair was looking like a waterfall falling around her beautiful face and spreaded on her waist. She was walking slowly but in the backward direction. Her feet ere in beautiful delicate shoes. There was darkness all around her but a little light was falling on her body from the front. She was feeling strange. Her Heart was beating fast because of fear. Tiny droplets of sweat were glowing on her forehead. Suddenly She staggered and was about to fall on the floor when two strong arms saved her from falling down.
She opened her eyes with a jerk. she couldn't understand for some moments whether she was in a dream before or now. She came to her senses slowly and felt pain in her whole body . She looked around. It was morning. She thought about the dream for a while laying down on the bed but couldn't understand what type of dream it was . She dreamed a lot about commanding fairies and ghosts but it was a different type of dream in which she was not happy but nervous and walking backward in a staggering way. After a while , she was playing with her doll, forgetting the dream.
Sarah came into the room and headed towards her.
"My doll is awake. Did you sleep well?" she asked lovingly, touching her face.
"yes Auntie. What is it in your hand?" she asked, seeing a shopping bag in Sarah's hand.
"I've brought a dress for you. You will wear this to Maria's wedding ceremony. Ok? " Sarah said, taking out the dress from the shopping bag. Mah e roo , who was about to deny , Stunned to see the dress. It was the same white and golden colored dress which she was wearing in her dream.
"how could it come out of the dream? " she muttered in surprise, shrinking her eyebrows.
"what?" Sarah asked as she couldn't understand her murmuring.
"I wore this dress in my dream. How could it be in reality? " she asked her innocently. Sarah thought over it for a moment.
" Maybe your dream was true." she replied and Turned to hang the dress in the wardrobe. Maah e roo remained shocked.
"I will not wear this dress" she denied immediately. Sarah looked at her in wonder.
