Flashback Continues

Meher's p.o.v

I walked towards the procession and found that Arham Bhai (brother) is trying his best to convince the

employees but they aren't listening any of his sentences. The employees are looking quite angry.

Suddenly, Arham Bhai noticed me and gave me a worried look. He gestured me to go inside the office

by his eyes and I obliged him immediately.

I am waiting for Arham bhai and praying that everything is fine in the company. I am chanting Allah's

name continuously.

After some time, Arham bhai entered into the room having a worried expression on his face.

I asked him hurriedly," What's happening out there? Why the employees are holding a procession?"

He replied worriedly," You don't know anything, Meher. Our company is going down. Our financial

sector is almost empty."

" What? How did all this happen and when did happen? I asked him panicking.

He replied," Three months ago Adeel sir launched a new product in the market using the whole money

of our company. He thought that the product will do great business and we will earn a lot of profit. But,

to our bad luck, the product couldn't do profitable business in the market and we lost miserably in the

stock market. We shouldn't have used the whole money".

I can clearly understand the regret in his voice.

Hearing him my eyes became widened and I have lost my words. I said to him having an unbearable

expression on my face," Adeel bhai never told that he is facing that much problem in business. He

always behaved that everything is fine."

" You are a little girl. What will you understand about business? Moreover, Adeel sir didn't want you to

get worried about all this," He replied and sat on the nearby chair.

I asked him confusingly," But, why are the employees holding a procession? What's their demand?"

" As our financial sector is almost empty Adeel sir couldn't give them salary for three months that's why

they are holding a procession. They want their right. I don't know from where I will arrange that much

money. They also have family and they need money to support their family financially. We have to give

them their salary sooner or later, " He replied and I saw him sweating out of too much tensions.

I am not understanding what I should say about all this. I was enjoying my life in the house lavishly

unknown to the fact that my brother is going through that much.

I am still looking at Arham bhai with my shocked expression when he said," As our company is almost

bankrupted after losing in the stock market so very soon it will go into the hand of the business

community and they will decide what will be done with this company. Adeel sir is going to lose the

company's ownership as well."( A/N- This part is totally fictional. I don't know in real life it happens or

not. I am writing this line out of total imagination)

Hearing him my face became pale. I said shaking my head in negative," No, nobody can't just take our

company. This company was established by my father. It's the result of my father's hard work. I can't

let anyone take our company."

" I understand your emotion Meher but there is no way. Moreover, Adeel sir's every bank balance is

seized by the income tax unit. I couldn't even able to hire a lawyer yet," he replied worriedly.

I asked him," Arham bhai, what I should do now? Please, suggest me something. For our company, I

can do anything."

" If the company still remains in your brother's name then we can think about something. If it goes to

the business society for once then you will not be able to gain the company's ownership again," he

replied and I panicked.

Then, he said," But I have a way to solve the problem. At least I can try."

Hearing him, my face lit up and I asked him hurriedly," What way Arham bhai?"

" I can talk with the business society's chairman Mr Sehreyar Al Seikh. I will tell him our every problem

in business. I hope he will help us or tell us any way of getting out of every problem. If I am able to

handle the problem of our business for once then I will be able to hire a lawyer as soon as possible for

Adeel Sir," Arham bhai replied and I took a relief of breath.

I have heard about Sehreyar Al Seikh a few days ago when his engagement ceremony was live

telecasted by a TV channel. I have read about him in the newspaper as well.

I hold Arham bhai's hand and said," Please, talk to Mr Seikh. If he doesn't want to help then tell me. I

will go and request him."

" I will try my best to convince him," Arham bhai replied and I smiled a little.

I am still looking at Arham bhai when my phone started ringing. I saw the caller id and its an unknown

number.

I received the call and after hearing the news I almost fall on the floor. I can't believe my ears what I

have heard. My tears started coming out of my eyes like a never-ending stream.

Arham bhai hold me in his embrace and asked me worriedly," What happened, Meher?"

" Asif has gotten into an accident. I have to go to the hospital," I said and stormed out from the office

room hurriedly.

Author's p.o.v

No sooner had Meher came out of the office room Arham called someone and said smirking," Sir, I

have done everything as per your order. Very soon Meher Afroz Khan will come to meet you."

The other person said something in the call and Arham said taking a dramatic breath," Thanks for your

reward, sir. I will do anything whatever you will say."

After that, the other person cut the call and Arham said sitting on the chair," Tsk...Tsk...tsk...poor girl

doesn't know that she is trapped completely."

On the other hand, Meher is now in the hospital and crying her eyes out.

A few moments ago the doctor informed her that because of the accident Asif is in a coma right now.

Asif has hurt his head badly. The doctor also informed that Asif needs expensive treatment. Meher

should give the fees in the hospital as soon as possible otherwise the hospital authority has to shift Asif

from their hospital.

Meher isn't understanding from where she will manage that much money. Every bank balance of Adeel

is seized by the Income-tax unit and he is in jail. Meher is now completely helpless. Her house is also

seized. Very soon she will be in the street. She isn't understanding what she should do. From whom

she should ask for help.

She is still crying when she felt that someone has rested his hand on her shoulder. Meher looked at the

person and its none other than Arham.

Meher couldn't control her emotions anymore and cried out loudly hugging Arham.

" Arham Bhai, the hospital authority......" Meher couldn't complete her sentence when Arham said

patting her head," I know everything, Meher. You don't have to say anything."

Meher asked him," What I should do, bhai? I am not understanding anything. I am losing hope. I want

to save my brother."

"Meher, do you know who is the owner of this hospital? Arham asked.

Meher nodded her head in negative and Arham said," Mr Sehreyar Al Seikh."

Meher's eyes get widened and Arham said," I talked with Mr Seikh about your company. He wanted to

meet you. If you go to meet him there you can ask for his help in Asif's matter as well. As he is the

owner then he can help you if he is generous enough."

Meher wants to save her brother anyhow. She can't lose her brother. After her parents' death, her

brothers are her everything.

As an innocent and naive girl, Meher agreed to meet Sehreyar.

She said to Arham," I will meet Mr Seikh and ask for his help. For my brothers, I can do anything."

" I hope everything will be solved," Arham said smiling at her.

After that, Arham gave her Sehreyar's office address and she left to meet Sehreyar.

After one hour

Meher knocked at the door of Sehreyar's office room. She heard a deep husky voice," Come in."

She entered into the room like a little scared girl. She looked in front of her and found a handsome,

muscular man who is working on his laptop. His eyes are glued on the laptop screen.

She remembered that day when she first saw Sehreyar in Adeel's office. She doesn't know why she is

feeling too much nervous. She is sweating a little bit even after the AC is on.

She cleared her throat to catch Sehreyar's attention. Sehreyar looked at her and found a beautiful

innocent girl who is looking at him with a nervous expression on her face.

Sehreyar raised his one brow and Meher started saying," Mr Seikh, I am......"

Meher couldn't complete her sentence when Sehreyar showed her his palm indicating her to stop.

Meher stopped her saying immediately.

" Sir..you will call me Sir, not Mr Seikh," Sehreyar said and leaned a little on his chair and smirked at

Meher.

Meher thought mentally," How rude!" But, a shiver run down from her spine seeing his smirk.

She gulped down the lump which was forming inside her throat. She uttered nervously," I am Meher

Afroz Khan. Mr Arham Sheerazi might have talked with you about my brother's business. He also told

me that you wanted to meet me".

" Oh, yeah. I remember. Well, I will not waste my time as well as yours. So, I will be straightforward to

you. I am ready to help you financially," Sehreyar replied smiling at her.

Meher couldn't believe her ears. She never thought that he will agree so early.

She asked innocently," Really? You will help me?"

This time Sehreyar stood upon his feet and came forward to Meher's direction. He is now towering her Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

small self with his muscular one. He can smell the vanilla scent of her body and he is feeling like to

inhale her scent for eternity.

Meher became uncomfortable with his close proximity. She flinched a little and lowered her eyes.

Sehreyar smirked seeing her reaction. He said stuffing his hands inside his pant's pocket," Well, you

have to be something to get all the financial help."

This time Meher looked at him raising her head as she is too short in front of him. She asked him

confusingly," What? I didn't get you."

Sehreyar smirked and said eyeing Meher from head to toe," You have to be my mistress."
