(One week later)

Lale's POV:-

It's been a week since we have come back home. Emir is back to his jerk self. I don't know what is his problem , I mean he was all lovely and a caring person back there but know he is ignoring me alot. I'm back to my same routine sleep eat, spend some time in library or in garden.

The pool incident has stuck with me like a bad memory. Sometime I would wake up all drench up in sweat from nightmares. I would just silently cry as I don't want to disturb Emir. I'm avoiding Yasmeen . She scares me to death .

Anyway something has changed from last two days. Sila is spending her days in home . Aunt Maryam told me how she was absent all these days from home and came only a weak before us. I know something is wrong with her. She hardly goes to her boutique.

Allah help this girl and the next big thing which happened is the frequent visits of Yasmeen from last three days. She and Aunt Zeynep will sit and talk in hush voices for hours .

I know Yasmeen she means trouble and if I'm not wrong they are planning something big or it's only Yasmeen who is on something big.

I was sitting in library reading a book more like staring at it cause my mind is dwelling with alot. I try to read a line when a loud bang from the next room starlted me.

Allah that's Sila's room I hope she is okay.

I quietly got up from the window seat which is my favourite place by the way. I make my towards her room. There is no one present at home. So it's practically me and her.

I was about to knock on the door when I heard a loud voice or more like shouting. I place my ear try to listen her.

"You cheat on me and you are saying you love me. I have seen with my own eyes, how you were practically eating her face. Don't lie to me" Sila shouted .

Who is she talking to?

"Okay fine I'll come but this will be the last time . I want to clear everything with you. Just send me the address. Okay bye" this time she talk with a calm voice. But where is she going?

I quietly open the door with a crack and peek inside. I saw her going towards her closet probably to get ready.

Her phone ting caught my attention. I slowly tiptoped towards it and pick it up. I didn't open the massage only read it from the massage panel. It said

"Golden Empire Hotel. Room no 506" it's an address . I think where she will meet that person whom she love.

Clicking of the door brought me out of my thoughts and before Sila could see me I run out of the room and enter in my room.

I quickly changed my dress and start walking out of the room.

I saw  Sila getting in her car and driving away.

"You are going somewhere?"

"Allah! Hooray you scared me girl" I said while putting a hand on my chest .

"Sorry but I got curious" she said smile sheepishly. I couldn't help but smile at her . She is such sweet heart.

"Well I was getting bored so thought why don't go out to get some fresh air"

"Hahaha very funny Lale whom are you fooling huh. The Lale who hate going out and take fresh air in garden itself is going out . Tell me are you going on a date with that hunk huh?"

"Shut up it's not like that. Can't I go out . Sometime change is good for health."

"Ya ya whatever I was just joking. Have fun. I have somework. You go carry on. But there is no driver available at the time."

"Oh it's okay I was planning to walk or hire a cab you don't worry"

"Okay as you wish" she pass me a smile before walking away .

"Shit I'm late"
I quickly made my way out of the mansion towards the main gate. To my luck I saw a cab and immediatly stop it and hope on it.

"Golden Empire Hotel please" I said to the driver and start waiting to reach the destination. I just hope everything is fine.

Half hour later

I immediately got out of the car and walk inside the Hotel. Its a beautiful with antique interior .  I walk towards the reception table and the receptionist greeted me

"Aslamoaliakum mam and welcome. How may I help?

"Waliakumsalam.  Can you tell me where is room no 506"

"Sure mam take the lift to fifth floor and then trun write"

"Thankyou " I give her polite smile and walk towards the lift. To say I'm anxious would be understanding.  What if she take me wrong or If Emir get to know about this that I'm spying on his sister he would suerly kill me.

*ding*  I walk out of the lift and then trun towards the right and start searching for the room.

Huh there it is. I was about knock but still due to the loud voices. I put my ear on the door but couldn't hear anything the voices were muffled.  Looks like the doors are sound proof.

Taking a deap breath I knock on the door. here goes nothing.

After like two minutes the door opened by non other then Ali. The boyfriend of Sila. He was confuse at first but then a wicked smirk come on his face. He start watching me from head to toe with lustfull gaze . He lick his lips and said

"Hello beautiful. May I know the reason for your visit. Well Its not like I mind , obviously who  can ignore my charms" I feel disgusted from him. How can Sila love him?

"Are you done. I just come here to meet Sila . Sh..e s..she umm yeah she is not picking up her phone so I come to meet her."

"Well you see I live here alone Sila has not come here to meet me. By the way how did you know that Sila will ne here"

"That...That... " I become nervous and start thinking what to say when my eyes fell upon Sila's shoes and her coat . He is lying. I look at him at wide eyes . He followed my gaze and was about close the door.

But I pushed him and Walk inside the room. What I saw brought tears in my eyes.

"SILA. Huh! Sila " I run towards the bed and to the side of her.

"Sila what happened to you. Open your eyes . Please Sila." I took her head in my lap and slightly slap her cheeks to gain her conscious. 

I remove her hair from her face and a cry left my mouth. There is a big mark just her eyes. Her cheek has hand marks. Her shirts first buttons were open that her bra can be seen. 

"Sila please open your eyes." My hand still when I saw her opening her eyes.

"Are you fine."

"La...le...Lale... Please save me... Save me from him"

"Yo..you ..di..d to her. You monster". I couldn't control my rage and got up and marched towrds him.

*THUD*. I slap him hard with all mu strength  that his face trun towrds other side.

"Hahahah. I didn't know that you're a feisty.  But you know What you look more hot when you are more angry ." He took a step forward and come face to face to me. I feel disgusted and push him hard . He stumble not expecting this.

"You are a cheap person she love you and what you did . You raped her. Are you out of your mind if Emir.." he cut me off by grabbing jaw in his death grip and dig his nails in my face.

"Who will tell him . You but for that you have to go out of this room in one piece " my eyes pop out and I start to wiggle in his grip.

"Leave me. You.."* Slap* He slap me harshly and yank me by my hair. I try to fight but he slap me again. I can feel the blood at the corner of my mouth.

"You Bitch today no one will save you. I'm so waiting for this day . How can I loose this chance and leave you"

I start searching for somthing to hit him. My eyes fall on the lamp and I start taking steps towards it.

My eyes fall on Sila , her eyes were open in narrow slit and tears were coming out of them. She bite her lip to surpass  the sob. I put my hand on hers and give it a squeez assuring her that everything will be fine.

Honestly I'm feeling equally scared but I have seen more than this. These slaps are nothing from the torture I got back there.

I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I didn't know that the Ali  is know  standing behind me.

"Lale watch it" Sila's voice brought me out and I immediately trun around.

"Don't come near me or

"Or what . I'm so scared of you. Please some body save me. You should be scared kitten because today might be your last day" he hold my arm pull me towards him but due to other hand was in Sila's grip I didn't move and instantly pick the lamp and hit him on his head.

"Ahhhh Bitch I'll nor leave you" he fell on the floor . Ignoring him I try to pull Sila up and make her stand. But she fall again on the bad like her legs had no energy.

"Please Sila don't loose hope. Please get up we have to leave before he gets up again" I try again this time putting my arms around her waist . We take slow steps towrds the door . I put her coat on her try to cover as much as possible. She start crying badly. I cup her face and said

"Shhh. Sila you are brave see nothing will happen to you . I'll nor let anything happen to you. Okay . Stop crying" 

"Lale...He..he..Lale..Why this happen to me". She pull me in a hug. I become shocked . I mean Sila who hate me is know

Lale its not the right time to think about these things. I put my arms around her and start patting her head and rub her back in comfort.  I pull away from her and without saying I pull her out of the room. We walk towards the lift and wait for it.

"Lale what will people think of me . I can't face them. I feel so ashamed. "

"Shh . Everything will be fine" the door of lift open and my breath hitched when I saw the person standing .

"Emir!"
"Lale!"

Aslamoaliakum.
