Mahir's POV

Jennifer was looking at me shocked.

"Yes Me" I said in anger.

"Dad..you...you cheated me" she shouted

"And what you did. You cheated each of us .This is not my upbringing Jennifer" Said George.

" I didn't. I love this man. And he's not ready to understand. I told him in his office also but see here he got engaged to that bitc...." She was saying before which she received a tight slap.!!

 No! Not from me. From George.

 Even I had my hand raised but before I could slap her George slapped her tight.

"Ashamed of you. This was not my upbringing" said George.

"Dad. You don't know anything and you'll never. And I don't care about this. I want this man to be mine" she shouted

"In your dreams..Wait. Well I'll make sure not even in your dreams Jennifer" I warned

"Huh..what you'll do. You can't do anything. Your fianceé is with me. And I can do anything with her. Anything. It's better you do what I say" she smirked

"Just shut up and tell me where's my Surbhi" I fumed

"I'll not. Not at all. And go..do whatever you want to. Go find your Surbhi. England is so big ..search her. " she said

"Jennifer don't do anything like this please "  George pleaded

"Dad please. Get out of this okay. " she yelled

I know She'll not listen and I don't want this man to see her daughter like this.

"George. You go. I very well know how to handle her" I gritted

"Exactly you should go because you're of no use" she said.

How low she can stoop. He's her dad even then she's behaving like this.

" You'll not tell me but you've to tell police " I said taking out my phone.

" Very good. Go on. I hell care going to jail Darling. But here You call police and there your Surbhi ....Pheewwshh. She'll be dead " she snickered

"You'll not do anything like this. I'll kill you damn it." I shouted

" Try me Mahir. I can do anything. " she said nearing me.

"Get away you bitch" I warned pushing her away.

"You're pushing me away. You want to go to That Girl. I'll not let this happen. Be mine or she's out of this world" she warned

"Shutup. Tell me where's Surbhi. " I shouted on my peak

"You'll not listen to me right Darling. You've to. You know why because if you don't do whatever I say , you'll never know where's that girl and May be something very bad would happen to her" she Smirked

"You bloody damn it" I raged raising my hand but she stopped me.

"Mahir Maheshwari. Don't. Don't even try this. This is not your India, it's my world! My England! You want to know where your Surbhi is ..Let me tell you" she said taking out her phone

"See. There's your Surbhi" she laughed.

It was a video....video of Surbhi...she was tied to a chair ruthlessly. Her body was totally pale and she was not even in her senses.

"Surbhi...." I whispered.

 A tear escaped from my eyes. I couldn't even see her like this.

"Yes..Surbhi... And wait see this. She has a so good company" she smirked

I saw it again. She was surrounded by some four five man who were laughing seeing her like this.

"I'll kill you allll" I shouted.

"Ohh Mahir. It's live video. You want to do anything like this, then just try and there these boys will do whatever I say them... May be even kill her." She said .

Kill her!!! No!No! I can't. She's my responsibility. She's my priority. I can't let anything happen to her. I can't let her life be in risk just due to me. She's there today due to me only. Surbhi didn't even know Jennifer and it's only due to me she's facing this.

"Mahir. I don't have any problem with that girl. I didn't want to do this but you forced me to do so. If you wouldn't have loved her then I wouldn't have done this. Poor she. She might be regretting coming to your life." She said

She's so much obsessed. I couldn't loose my Surbhi in any term.

"Mahir Maheshwari.  You've three minutes.  Take your decision. Either choose ditching me and loose that girl forever. I'm sure I'll kill her and you can't do anything that you too know. Or Choose me forever and I'll let her go safely to Her home." She announced

"You'll regret it Jennifer. She's my life and don't do this." I said warning her.

"Pheww..Mahir two minutes left. After two minutes I'll take my decision" She told 

"What you'll get doing this. I'll never be able to love anyone else except her" I said

"Darling. My love is enough for both of us" She smiled touching my cheek and I pulled her hand away.

"Don't. Don't even touch me. This is not love what you think. This is just obsession and you'll regret it your whole life because you'll be living in a loveless life" I said fisting my hand.

"It's Okay Mahir. Just be mine and leave her" she repeated

My head was spinning. Surbhi...Surbhi... I'm sorry love. I can't let anything happen to you. Your dad gave me your responsibility. You gave me yourself   thinking that I'll always protect you. I've to do this. For you.

"Okay fine. I'll do as you say" I said

"What. Say it again" she exclaimed

"I'll do what you say" I glared

"Whoooo. I won .I won. I always said you right that I achieve everything what I want. And you don't worry. You'll forget that girl very soon. You'll start loving me. I love you so very much " she said hugging me.

And I just remembered Surbhi's words when I hugged her.

"That's my favourite place in this whole universe "

I will never hug you back bitch. I made her move away.

"But I have a condition" I told

"What...well anything say" she asked

"I want to meet her for...for the last time" I said

She didn't say anything for sometime.

"Okay fine. But you'll be blindfolded and not calling anyone. And don't even try to call police and fool me." She told

" I just want to meet her"  I said

"Give me your phone " she demanded 

"What why" I asked

"Because I don't believe you" She said and I chuckled bitterly

"You know Surbhi believes me more than herself. That's what love is" I told 

"Shutup and move on. I'll make sure she'll not believe you from today " She said blind folding me.

God help me. Keep my Surbhi safe.

I don't know where we're. She was driving since an hour.

"Open the gate" she commanded someone.

And there was a sound of opening the gate. She drove the car inside I guess. The voice of closing the gates came again and the door of car opened.

"Come out " she said.

I came out and was about to remove the blindfold

"Not now." She said and stopped me and took me inside.

 I removed my blindfold. It was so dusty place.

"Where's Surbhi" I asked

"Meet your Surbhi for the last time. Then you'll be mine" she grinned

I looked around me. There were some ten gunned man.

"Where's Surbhi" I asked again.

"What's so hurry Mahir. Let's have a drink" she said

"Don't judge my patience Jennifer. Where's Surbhi" I asked again calmly

"And what you'll do huh. You can't do anything" she said smirking.

Exactly I can't do anything!!! Bullshit!!!

"Well I'm not that bad that I'll not do what my love says. Come. Meet her for the last time and don't even try to be over smart. Your Surbhi will be killed." She warned

"I said I'll not do anything. Open the door" I told

"Well ..well I'll not come inside. I've much more work to do and you all listen take his proper care." She said to those men and went upstairs.

One of the man opened the door.

I looked inside. It was a damn dark room with just a single beam of light coming.

Surbhi's living in such a hell . All due to me only. I looked around and stepped inside. That man closed the door from outside.

There she was...sitting in the deepest corner of the room. Tears pooled into my eyes.

 Damn you Mahir Maheshwari. She's such a simple and sweet girl who smiled. You said her right that you'll make her smile. See there Mahir she's hell afraid to even look up just due to you..

She looked up at her side only but she didn't turn. I know she didn't turn because she had thought that there's no one else then Those men or Jennifer.

"Sur...Surbhi" I whispered and she at once she turned to the front and looked upward to me.

"Maa..Mahir" she whispered and I nodded.

I don't know from where that instant energy came in her and she ran and hugged me.

I missed this one badly Surbhi and I needed this one badly.!!

She was crying badly..badly hugging me. I let her cry. All her pain was flowing from her eyes.

"You came... You came. ..I knew you'll come. I knew you'll come Mahir. You...you...know...I was so frightened.. I thought I'll die.." She sobbed

I couldn't take this anymore. Jennifer's not here. I hugged her tightly.

"Heyy...shhh..I'm here na. How couldn't I come...when you are in trouble. Don't cry Surbhi... I'm here. Nothing will happen to you till I'm here." I whispered

"I..I know you'll not let anything happen to your Jaan. I love you Mahir." She said.

Jaan!!! How much I missed this!!!

I can't even shout and say I love you too Jaan!!!

Tears escaped my eyes. The tears which I controlled till now finally fell down .

That's what my love is for her. Hugging her I felt like home coming. I felt as if I've got my world.

"Surbhi. You haven't slept for nights" I asked her

"I didn't have you to say me good night..so how could I." She said and I cursed myself for saying her anything last night when she was in Siwni.

"I'm sorry for that day. I was bloody hell wrong saying you all that. Please forgive me" I whispered

"Hey..love..What Sorry. I've  forgiven you the same day.  I love you Mahir. I missed you so badly. It was my mistake. I wouldn't have gone with that man to his house. " she said.

Tears were falling from her eyes till now. I wiped her tears by my thumbs.

May be that's last time I'll wipe her tears. God I want to wipe her tears forever.

" It's okay. That's you right. Helping everyone" I told and she nodded.

"You too haven't slept for more than three days. Right." She asked. 

I smiled at this. Finally after days I smiled.  That's why I say that she's the reason I live and I smile.

"How did you know" I asked

" Your face is telling that. Mahir Maheshwari is looking like a sleep deprived drug addict with dark circles and eye bags under his eyes and those properly gelled hairs turned into shabby hairs" she said ruffling my hairs from her hands giggling! 

Damn!! I Missed this smile and laughter so much!!!!!

Is her sleeve torn and what's that red mark on her face!!

"Surb.." I tried to ask but she cut me off!!

"Oh No Mahir.... .Mahirrr...." She panicked while crying

"Surbhi... what happened " I asked

"You...you came her..she tortured you to come here right..she's mad Mahir..she can do anything. Why you came here. Now how will we go away from here" she said while crying.

I was about to tell her but Before I could say anything there was a bang on the door.

"That I'll tell you Surbhi " said Jennifer coming towards us looking at me.

I removed my hand from Surbhi. I know she'll harm Surbhi if she see me like this.

 She's a bloody lunatic girl!!

" Darling!  Didn't you tell her" said Jennifer and Surbhi looked at me.

" I was going to tell... " I told

" Well Love. Don't take burden of this. I'll tell her " said Jennifer

" What... What did you just say him. Don't call him that.  Mahir why don't you stop her saying all this. How could she say you love." gritted Surbhi looking at me.

"Surbhi I'll tell you all this later. Firstly listen to me. She'll take you to airport. Jet is waiting there for you. Go back to India directly to your parents " I told

" One minute. What you said. I'm not going anywhere alone. You're coming with me" She said 

" Oh poor Surbhi!! Didn't he tell you that he'll not come back to you anytime now" Jennifer smirked.

Can't this bitch keep quiet!!!

"Ma.. Mahir... What crap is she blurting. I know she's mad. She's out of her mind. Tell her that you love me " said Surbhi turning to me.

"Surbhi. Just do as I say.  Go from here. Go back to India. Everyone's waiting for you there" I repeated again

" What do you mean Go back. How can I go back. I'm not going anywhere without you" Surbhi objected 

"Mahir. Why isn't she understanding that you don't love her anymore. Tell her the truth. I think she'll believe when  you'll say her " said Jennifer.

I can't do anything. If it was in my hand I would've slapped this bitch infinite times till now loosing all my gentlemanliness!! She's hell obsessed mad woman.

"Mahir. Say her to stop saying all this bullshit. Has she gone mad.  No wait she was mad from starting...and now she's saying anything what's coming her mouth . "  shouted Surbhi

"You stop saying all this. I know He'll not tell you. I'll tell you everything. Actually he don't want to hurt you I think.  Poor soul!! Mahir is going to marry me and live with me. You are out of his life. He don't love you anymore. He loves me" said Jennifer

Surbhi looked at me and then laughed!

"Good jokes Jennifer!" she said and Jennifer glared me

God!!!

"Surb.." I was saying before which she spoke.

"That's all wrong Mahir. I know you'll not hurt me. I know you love me and I love you. I don't believe her. I know She's saying anything what's coming in her mouth. All what she's saying is a lie right.! I know. I trust you. Let her say anything. I don't believe her. I believe you" Surbhi stated looking at me and I turned away!!

How could I make any eye contact with her. How could I even say her all this with my mouth.

"Mahir. What happened. Why you turned away like this. You don't have to. Look at me. I know you'll not do anything like this" Said Surbhi again.

I didn't turn to her.  I can't lie facing her. She'll not believe me and will understand that something is wrong. She'll ask questions to me for which I don't have answers... it's important right now to make her believe me. Otherwise Jennifer will come to know everything.

"She's saying right Surbhi. Just get out of here and go back to your parents. Go back to India " I told facing my back at her.

" Mahir... " she whispered

" Now you've listened to him and I hope now you got your answer. And believe it now as he himself has said you this. Go find someone else. Didn't I tell you that I achieve what I want. " Jennifer smirked.

I'll break her face once Surbhi's safe.

" No.. Not at all Mahir.. Mahir you're lying. You'll not do this. I know. You're saying this all just due to her right. Don't say all this. I'll not believe anything which she's saying.  I know you. You'll not do such an act" Surbhi spoke.

You've to believe it Surbhi! I've to make you believe it!!

I love you Surbhi. I know you trust me and here now I've to say something like this so that you think that I've broken your trust. I've to do this. I've no other option but How much I want to shout and say that yes it's just due to her I'm doing all this!!!!

I know she'll not believe me and it's hell important to make her believe right now so that I can get some minutes..some time!!!

"Surbhi. Stop this all okay stop. Are you deaf. Don't you understand it at once. She said you this all it means this is right. Why don't you understand this and why don't you believe this. You want to listen it from my mouth right then listen.... Get out of my life and get away from here. Go back to India. Go back to people who are waiting for you. I'm happy here only. I'm living  with her only. So please just go Go backkk" I shouted at her and she stumbled on her feet.

I'm sorry love. I've to do this. Do this just for you!!!. For taking you safely back to India with me.

"You.... No. You can't do like this to me. It's our marriage after 10 days. " she whispered and a tear escaped her eye.

I know how difficultly I'm controlling my tears.

"Okay Surbhi. Stop this and you're free. Go away.. Okay. Bye and don't disturb us ever again. But You should actually come to our marriage " smirked Jennifer.

As if it's going to happen anytime!!!!

" I trusted you Mahir. I gave my life to you how could you do this.. " she whispered.

How could I say anything. How to tell you I'm not breaking your trust!! I'm just protecting you!! 

Wait a second!!

 Why hasn't she slapped me till now.

" I'm just saying you.. " I tried to say before which I received a slap. 

Finally I got it.!! 

 I smiled.

I wanted to laugh because I'm proud of myself !! How well I know my girl

How well I know what she going to do.. but I can't laugh right now.

My lioness is back. I wanted my lioness to be back. I wanted this one. I wanted her to show her rage. I wanted her to shout on me. I wanted her to shout on me and say everything which I know that she'll not say from her heart but this situation Will make her say all this.

I want you to shout on me love... Shout for at least Fifteen minutes so that this bitch believes that our relation is over and she becomes happy and so that.....

Aanand can come here anytime with police and so I can take you back safely to my world... To our world. 

I smiled at this.  I know you're crying due to me but I'm sorry Jaan I've no option other then this right now.

"How could you do this Mahir" she shouted on her peak and I stood there.

I know now I don't have to say anything.

 She's the one to say everything and just 15 minutes. All your anger on me will melt like ice when you'll come to know why I'm doing this.  And now......

You may start my lioness!!!
