Chapter 149: The Unexpected 'Party'

Sighing, I put my hand in the air in defeat,

“I will be held accountable for bad nurturing, for bringing up a spoiled brat, for killing the boy who will break her heart too- not to mention. I can’t risk it,”

Setting a portion of my list of worries, I sighed which once again I had no concerns about. I just wanted a healthy child with a blessed life.

But, hearing her whining was adorable.

“So you don’t want a girl?”

“No. Though that is not in our hands,”

“Why don’t we know the gender on the next visit,”

“Certainly not! I don’t want to ruin the fun,” I whined.

Hashir smiled looking at us because the times he had seen me delighted or like this was rare.

“Fine. If it is a girl, I will name her then,” She smirked.

“Sure, sure. Now come, Darling, you are getting us late. Huff, be quick. Look, I am shot but I am fast,”

I tried to sound silly because I had noticed when I behaved like this, it brightened her mood.

And for her, I could easily make a fool of myself.

“Yeah, yeah, whatever,”

“Ah, I am tired. But, I had fun, what about you?” I smiled, cracking my knuckles to be back to my beautiful homeland.

Ah, that was where I belonged.

“Me too. It was so beautiful,” She grinned, holding my arm as we were about to leave for home and Hashir helped me to sit in the car.

“Here, let me help, Boss, you have moved around too much. You are not fully recovered yet.”

“Argh, I know,”

“Who told you to fall on me?” Aalifa sighed.

“It was worth it,” I blew a kiss at her as we left.

Holding her hand, I had affixed my eyes on my beloved with ease surrounding me. With much grief and remorse, we left, I could notice Aalifa trying to become better.

She was desperately endeavoring to come out of her shell of regret and accept our relationship.

‘One day, for sure, she would open her arms for me.’

With that prayer, I smiled at the keen eyes locked intensely at my Noor-e-Jaan who was staring out of the window. Bringing my hand closer to caress those soft cheeks, I noticed us reaching rome.

“Stop the car,”

Halting my stare and affectionate action, I straightened my back, noticing the security was slightly off.

“Aalifa,”

“Yes?”

“Stay in the car- No, get behind,”

“Is everything alright, Boss?” Hashir was perplexed when I stopped outside my place, getting out bearing the pain in my body and standing upforth.

“Hashir,”

“Call Akram for code red and get our guns,”

“Okay,”

“Zaviyaar? What are you doing?” Aalifa whispered, holding my arm.

‘Leaving her in the car would be dangerous. I couldn’t let someone sneak an attack,’ I thought, leaning against the car to observe the sight.

“I know my home’s air precisely. It has changed, something has changed and I have no intentions of making a mindless move,” I ordered, securing my gun, gathering my resolve.

I should have expected that, leaving my land open would result in overthrow but like hell I would allow anyone to stumble my balance of power.

I was already fourth, I won’t go lower than that, I couldn’t be worse than Alphonse.

“Let’s go, Aalifa,”

“Hashir?” She paused, “He will return. For sure.”

Smiling reassuringly, I gave her hand a firm squeeze before making her stand behind me.

‘I couldn’t leave Aalifa behind but if I took her along, she would be in my way. What should I do?’

Gritting my teeth, I prepared myself for any counter attack, contemplating the surroundings thoroughly.

We came inside my home where all the guards pointed their guns at us which was not surprising at all.

“Zaviyaar!”

“It’s alright, Aalifa,” I whispered, gesturing to her to relax before glaring at those people who were not mine.

“Tsk. I fucking knew it,”

Which was followed by that motherfucker’s voice I resented most, who couldn’t stay in his damn limits and find ways to pinch my nerves.

“Welcome home, my brother-in-law. How was your honeymoon with your other woman?”

“Z-Zaviyaar? What is happening?”

Gasping in dread, Aalifa pressed herself into me, holding onto me desperately when all guns were upon us and that asshole Zakir came with a smirk on his lips.

“I should have expected that you would have killed my men. You are an ace after all. You can use all means to stay alive,”

Zakir smirked while I kept a nonchalant face, unaffected by his damn stunt.

“Why are you sniffing at my household, Zakir?”

Folding my arms at my chest, I questioned coldly, displeasing his presence and fucking audacity to step into my domain.

Not liking my nonchalance, he growled at me, “Do you think you are in any position to speak to me like that?”

“Why don’t you stay in your place?”

To my dead response, he glanced over my shoulder to Aalifa so he could use harsh words to hit my nerves but I never considered him or his words significant.

“I wonder, Zaviyaar, for that mere woman, you risk your work, your home, your everything in danger and for what? For a fucking honeymoon?”

That was why I didn’t prefer leaving my territory, dogs like him were waiting for my one action of silence.

I had never made a senseless decision but for Aalifa.

I was so terrified of her depression and breakdown that I melted and… ended up going away for her solace.

“Look what it cost you,”

“What have you done, Zakir?” I narrowed my eyes, having a bad feeling about it.

‘Was Saira involved in it too? I doubt she would choose Zakir over me no matter what. Then how did he manage to do it?- Asad’s absence, hmm?’

“Asad was your best man. In his absence, you shouldn’t have done anything ridiculous but sadly, you were blind in love,” Just as I thought.

“Shut up,”

He was taking advantage of it, he knew in his presence he couldn’t make a single move.

‘So he forced himself inside. Hmph pathetic,’ I thought, sighing mentally resting my hands in my pocket, scanning the area to read the situation.

When Zakir saw me doing that, he cleared his throat, stopping me from giving any signal.

“Why don’t you come in and join the party?”

Rolling my eyes, I followed for the moment and honestly I did not expect him to that far to the point of placing a fucking gun at my beloved mother.
