Umer's Pov:
I have just finished studying for my last exam and now I feel really sleepy
It's almost 4am now, after praying Fajr I decided to sleep. I lay down on my bed, but sleep didn't come to me.
Why? Because I was really nervous, tomorrow is the day I am gonna propose Zara. Hundreds of question, rose in my mind.
Will she accept my proposal?
What will her reaction be?
Will she ever be able to love me?
What if she loves Hamza?
What if she refuses and slaps me?
No, she cannot love Hamza, I shout.
She is mine and only mine, I will kill Hamza, he can't snatch her from me.

**********************************************************************

8am, time for college. I quickly climbed out from my bed and went for taking a long cool shower. I wore my black coat and jeans. I then admired myself in the mirror, oh I look handsome. I grabbed my bag and cell phone and run towards my car. Hamza was already seated there.
Hii Hamza! Prepared for you exam
But he turns away his face.
What happened? Angry till now
"I say looking towards him"
I am sorry yaar, I say
It's okay, never mind"he smiles"

After sometime we reach our college, I turn my eyes here and there to search Zara and I find her sitting in a corner revising. She looked really pretty today, I am gonna die on her looks! She wore a short black and green embroidered frock and black tights and as usual her hijaab.

I then head towards my class and after about 3 hours our exam ends.
I was really happy now, finally free from studies, and now it's time...

Zara's Pov:
I am freed now, exams over
"I shout with joy"
At least now I can enjoy my life, and do whatever I want. "I couldn't hide my excitement"
Zara! Suddenly someone from behind calls my name, Hamza
Without giving a response, I try to run away, but he holds my wrist.
This time really softly, it doesn't even hurt, " I think"
Yes! Hamza, what do you want now
"I say angrily"
Your forgiveness he says
What"I ask with great shock"
Zara actually..... he says off but someone interepts us from behind
Zara! Hii, it was umer
Hello! I say
Zara, can you come with me, I have to talk something very important with you, Hamza please excuse us"he says"

Umer takes me towards some corner,
Kya hua! Koi tension hai, achanaq sey kya baat aa paree umer. Kya hum baad mai baat nahi ker saktey.
(What happened? Is everything okay, why did you call me all of a sudden umer? Can't we talk afterwards?
"I say looking towards hin"
Nahi, abhi baat kerne hai(no I want to talk now)" he says"
Ok then say fast...
Zara, I love you alot, and I wanna spend my rest of life with you, do you accept my proposal Zara?
"I was shocked after hearing his words"
What the hell do you think umer?
How can you even think about this?
I just consider you my friend and nothing else"I shout"

Suddenly umer grabs my wrist and pushes me towards the wall. My back ached with the pressure of his hand.
What are you doing? Leave me umer
You are hurting me"I shout"
You hurted me Zara, by rejecting me
You are mine and only mine, if you think I will leave you so easily, forget it. "He shouts"
Whatever, you do umer, I won't ever in my life accept you I thought you were a good person, but you turned out to be a devil"I shout"
You call me devil, then see what can I do? "He then comes more closer to me, touching his hard chest, it pained really. His hand grip, was killing me, I tried to move but no use.

"Leave me it hurts, tears pouring from my eyes, blood dripping from my hands"

Hamza's Pov:
I was searching for umer and zara, roaming around the hall, it was then that I noticed them at a side in a corner and what I saw bought tears in my eyes....
Umer proposes Zara, but she rejects him. And then he grabs her wrist, and pushes her towards the wall, she was crying tears were pouring from her eyes, and blood was dripping from her hand. The sight was really painful, umer was threatning Zara to accept him and there he goes...

Zara! If you think, I will leave you so easily, forget it. You are mine and only mine. I will never ever let anyone snatch you from me.
And if you don't accept me, I will kill that person whom you love the most and that's Hamza.
Am I right Zara Hanan? Don't try to act smart, you love him it's clearly visible in your eyes. Whenever he hurts you, you cry but stay quiet, why? Because you love him, you know he has gone through alott of pain....
I will kill him... I will kill him....
I will kill him......
"Shouts umer startling zara"
No umer, please don't kill him, I will do whatever you want,...
That was a faint reply, that I heard from Zara, and blackness surrendered me....

Hamza! Hamza! Kya hua beta, Tum theek toh ho na (what happened? Are you okay my son)"I heard a faint concern from my mother"
I slowly open my eyes, and find myself on my bed, at my home.
I move my eyes here and there, I can see my mom, dad and my small sister standing there with great concern
Mama! Where is umer"I shout"
He didn't come home yet, "my mom says". Then where is he mom, I want to talk to him..
Hamza! Take some rest now, I will try to contact him"my mom says and saying this she leaves my room"

And the second thought that came to my mind was Zara.

How was she? Where was she?
Did umer leave her or he is still threatning her?
Why didn't I ever realise Zara loved me? She cared for me, I just kept on hurting her and she you used to bear all the pain alone. I never knew the girl, who I hate the most loves me and now just because of my own cousin she is being forced, and I am not even there to rescue her. Today I realized my biggest mistake, I have lost someone really precious, really important. Not all girls are like humaima, girls like Zara are also present in this world. Zara! Just will ruin her life only for me, so that umer doesn't finish me, I can't let him do this, I have to rescue her, my Zara, my most precious gift which Allah sent for me. She used to bear all the hatred that I showed towards her, but from inside she loved me and me I was so stupid, I kept on saying her I hate you.
I love you zara, and I will save you..

As soon as I jump I out of my bed, I see umer standing there with a really evil smirk on his face...

Authors note
Hello everyone! Hope you guys are great and good. I thought of updating today, beacause then I will be busy. Actually I am returning back to Riyadh on Friday, so I have to do packing and stuff. By the way how was the chapter? I know really sad and emotional. Umer"s behaviour towards Zara and hamza's realization. Will Hamza be able to save his love Zara or will she be forced to marry umer? What do you guys think. Sorry guys for making umer evil in this story, but in reality I am really a big fan of him. I hope this was a long one and I didn't disappoint you guys.
Thanks for reading and giving a chance to my story. It's because all of your guys support,
Love you all.....
