1001 nights flew away, a king who kills every other girl after marrying her couldn't kill the girl in this 1001 nights which is now passed and a new day with a ray of hope is coming.....

"Allaahu Akbar, Allaahu Akbar
Ashhadu allaa ilaaha illallah"
_the sound of Azaan surrounded whole of the palace!!

"Now u can behead me your Majesty "

Shehreyar got stunned by ryah's words..
It took sometime to realise him wt she said!!
He looked at her face,the rays of sun striking on her skin makes him see all her beautiful features ..
The main reason for him being sooo engrossed in her stories ws mainly her countenance !!
The way she explain n xpresses each story!!
Makes him so enthral !!!
She is not a normal girl!!
He couldn't deny d fact that she is d most beautiful n brave lady he had ever seen in his life!!
In dis long tym he gotto know her a bit well!!
Even he doesn't realised what had happened to him in dese 1001 nights!!
He isn't aware of the fact that she had already pilfered  his heart!!

"Kya ijazat hai?"(can I)- ryah words bring him out of his thoughts!!

"Huh???!!"-he looked at  her confusedly

She looked at his face n again said_"hame  namaz ata farmane ki mohulat  chaheye ,hamari iss duniya se ruksati se pehle"(I need time to pray namaz before my behead)...

He jst nodded n she left from dere with her kaneez(maids)

"Before my BEHEAD"-today her each n every word is giving him shivers...
Donno what is happening with him!!
He keeps on uttering her words..
He ws totally blank!!
He ws the one who had given this punishment , He ws waitng since long to behead her!!den why isnt he is happy today???
Before stories were making him to  delay her behead bt today no obstacle is dere...all the stories ended right!!den y he isn't contented?

"Sultan"-salahkar came wid some guards!!

"Should we proceed for behead?"
Sultan asked wid  a hope that today also shehreyar wl cancel the behead!!

Bt...

Shehreyar ws tangled widin his feelings!!
He wsnt able to hear nythng!!
Again ryah's words echoed_"NAMAZ"
YESS...
He jst nodded in himself n left the room

-Salahkar n other people took it as agreement for behead n sorrow surrounded dem...

Bt seeing sultan going somewhere...dey followed him immediately!!!

Shehreyar reached the mosque attached to the palace!!
All the people present dere gets stunned
As he havnt prayed namaz since he got betrayel!!
He lost his faith in Allah!!
Bt as said-
"U can be upset from Allah,
Bt atlast have to come back to him nly"

He don't have ny other way to get his answer!!
He don't get ny other way to give his heart peace!!!

He removed all his jeweleries n den goes to do wudu!!

He follows the namaz behind kaazi
Bt his mind all d tym ws flashing his memories with ryah!!!

A smile crept upon his lips!!
Bt he focused on namaz n finally  puts his hands up to pray!!!

"Chahe insaaan kitna bhi bada ho,
Rab ke samne sbko jhukna parta hai"

He closed his eyes _"Ya Allah rah dikha"(ya Allah show me d path)

His memories travelled back to d most haunted phase of his life,which transformed him into a beast!!!!

FB.....

"Hahahahahha!!aap hame nahi pakad sakte sultan"(u can't catch me sultan)-said his 1st wife ZARTASHA running in there chamber wearing his crown jeweled wid d precious stones!!!

"Aap hamse bach nahi sakte begam"-(I"ll catch u wife)-uttered shehreyaar

Finally she got tired n halted holding d edge of dere shahi(royal) bed!!

He came from back n hugged her tightly!!

"I won't let u leave me ever!!!ham aapse bepanah mohabbat karte hai"(I love u exceedingly)-said he nuzzling her neck!!

She pushed him a bit n faced him!!
"Ham bhi aapse bht mohabbat krte hai"(I also love u immensively)
Said ZARTASHA making him wear his crown !!!

"Par hum aapse naraz hai"(bt m angry wid u)_said zartasha n goes towards the window

"Naraz??? Kya hua hamari begam ko(why my wife is angry??)_he asked wid lot of concern n goes towards her..

"U havnt fulfilled my wish till yet"-said she
He knitted his brows in confusion!!

Coz he had never denied for ny of her wish. Always get her wtever she wants before she can demand!!
The love he showers on her, nobody can even explain it!!
N that's y he got blind to see her real face..
The face which is only greedy for his money!!!

"Aapne hamse wada keya tha ki aap hame beshkeemti OPAL ratan laake denge"(u have promised me that u"ll bring the precious OPAL pearl for me)

Shehreyar looked at her _"yes begam for sure I"ll bring it for u"

"I want it now only!!!"-said she adamantly!!

"Okay!!?Ur wish my command!! Now only i am sending my guards to bring that pearl for my queen"-said he taking her in his embrace...

She came out of his embrace n said_"no....I want u to bring that pearl specially for me...n no one else  should be wid u...I want my shauhar(husband) to gift me that by himself!!!dekhe to zara aap hamse kitni mohabbat karte hai"(let's see how much u love me)...

"To bataiye kya aap Puri karenge hamari ye khwahish"(so wl u fulfill my wish???) -asked she showing her fake smile!!

Shehreyar smiled cutely!!N cupped her face -"beshaq"(for sure)

He again hugged her n she gives him a smirk which gets unnoticed by him!!
†*************************************

Next day The king proceed towards the
Deep dessert in commoner look widout ny guard to search for the pearl to please his love!!

The fuscous-brown desert was killing him. He had seen neither man nor beast for three days and his water was gone. It was the most desolate and lonesome environment. He felt like a castaway on a sea of sand. Bt he keeps on moving... Fighting wid desert fox, the wraith of the desert. The monotony of this parched wilderness was difficult to explain. It was a crucible of death, a bone-dry basin of vastness and death. The immensity of it burned his brain, his visual relief ws only a spiny cactus. As far as the eye could see, everything was being roasted and sautéed with the same intensity.
He keeps on hallucinating  ....his body got dehydrated still he keeps searching for the pearl!!!
N finally found  it before his body could shutdown forever!!!

Even wid that tanned n dehumidified lips he smiled seeing dose pearls imagining the face of  ZARTASHA!!

Bt he ws totally unaware of her motives !!

************†*************************

He returned back ....
The kingdom people gets shocked to see his pale face bt his smile wsnt leaving his lips...

-Salahkar n guards helped him to get in!!
N the HAKEEM  ws called...

Bt sultan ws adamant to see zartasha first!!
Somehow...-salahkar convenced him for the treatment!!

After a nap,sultan opened his eyes n gets off the bed to find zartasha...

Bt kaneez told him that she wsnt dere since morning!!!

He nodded n thought where she must be?!!

He keeps on waitng wen a guard comes with a letter!!

Shehreyar asked about it!!

"Sultan!! Somebody left dis letter on the kingdom gate"

Shehreyar took the letter n gets stunned reading that...

His eyes become red hot!!N he smashed the paper!!!

"It's written that his wife is cheating on him... he can himself see the proof by coming to mushelbagh"

He wsnt believing it at all..

He roared n goes out of his room ....
He putted dt letter on salahkaar's hand n said_"pata lagao ye likhne ke gustakhe kisne ki hai"(find out who had done d sin to write dis)

Jst den an Informer comes n said that he had seen queen in MUSHELBAGH!!

Shehreyar got stunned!!
Widout any delay he goes to that place!!

He stopped the guards outside n sneaked in!!

Before he could enter the room he heard_"Aap chinta na kare,vo hamara Bewakoof shauhar urf shehehsha-e-arab !!! Itni jaldi laut kar nahi aane vala!!hahahahaha!! Vo to registaan ke kise kone me hamare leye vo beshkeemti ratan dhundh rahe honge!! Aur jaise he vo ratan leke aayenge ..ham vo aap ko de denge!! "

(U don't worry....my dumb husband aka the king of Arab won't come back so soon!!hahahahaha...he must be searching for dose precious pearls on desert ....N wen he"ll come back wid dose pearls ...I"ll give u that!!!)

She said lookng at the person she is sleeping with!!

"Uss Bewakoof shehenshah ko to ye bhi nahi pata ki hum unka sirf istemaal kar rahe hai!! Jald he  ham use maar kar uske sare daulat apne naam kar lenge...aur fir aap aur hum....iss saltanat par Raaj karenge...."-continued she...

(That dumb king doesn't even know that we r just using him!!soon we"ll kill him n get all his property on our names!! N den we both wl rule dis kingdom..)

A hot tear escaped shehreyar's eyes..
For the frst time in his life he felt so weak!!
Betrayal!!
Ringed in his ears!!
He banged the door n got into the room..

He saw his wife settling her dupatta n a guy facing back wearing his kurta!!

By seeing the surrounding he can guess what all happened dere!!!

Zartasha got hell scared seeing him!!
Before shehreyar could see the man's face ....he pushed zartasha on shehreyar n eloped from the window..
Bt sultan ws not much concerned about the guy....
Vo kehte hai na apno se bewafai ka dukh zada hota hai!!

He ws still staring zartasha but dis time not with love bt with rage!!!

Before she could utter a word...
He takes out the pearl necklace which she demanded of n made her wear  that!!!
N promptly  takes out his talwaar(sword) n widout a secound slitted her neck!!!

He moves out from that room!!
People keep whispering!!
"Queen betrayed him"
"Bechare sultan"
"Women's are like dis only"(one man spoke from the crowd)

Shehreyar stopped at his place n gazed the crowd...all r having a sympathy look ..
Being a sultan he doesn't expect a sympathitical look from his kingdom people!!!
Moreover his male ego is overpowering him!!

Since then he decided to kill each n every women!!
So that no one could betray!!!
Moreover he liked the fearfull eyes of his  people more then that pity one!!!

The old king of this kingdom fades away after this disaster day and a new one born with a fire of rage!!!

FB ended...

Shehreyar opened his  moist eyes ...
He ws still in namaz,praying!!
He recalled since den how stone hearted he had become...
How he had killed so many innocent lives!!!
How to cover his sadness he had worn a face of monster!!

But then she entered his life....
She the most brave girl...
Who married him to save other girls!!
The one who saved his life wen she knew that he is the one who"ll kill her..
The One who had only showered love to him n taught him so much with her stories!!!

How can he kill her???

No....he can't!!!

He gets up from. Namaz n headed towards Ryah's room to say that now she is free from the punishment!!

He had a smile all his way!!
A genuine one...after so long!!

He ws about to go Inside her room wen he saw her covered in veil listening to some guy!!!

He fumes seeing a man in her room!!

He heard the man saying_"shehzaadi why are u wasting your time with this merciless  cruel king!! He never care for anyone...He"ll never change!!I can't let one more innocent life to die....please let's go with me..I promise I"ll free u from here!!"

"Cruel....merciless .....wl never change"-dese words ringed in shehreyar's ears...
Bt it's  the truth !!
He had taken many innocent life...
He ws about to kill Ryah also!!
He doesn't deserve her....
He looked at Ryah,n determined himself for something n left from.dere widout listening to her reply!!

Ryah looked at that guy...Bt he ws fully covered!!! She could nly see the mark on his hand!!!

Before he could say ny other word against her shauhar(husband) she stopped him n said_"bas hamare shauhar ke bare me ek aur shabd nahi...pehli baat aap yaha aaye kaise...aur aapki himmat kaise hui sultaan ke baare me aise bolne ke ! Agar aap turant yaha se nahi gaye to hum abhi pehredaaro ko bula kar aapko giraftaar karva denge or hum unko chorke kahi nahi jayege suna apne"

(Stop right dere!!not a single word against my husband!!frst of all  how u get here??N how u dared to say against the king??if u doesn't leave from here r8 now den I"ll call the guards n wl make u arrest!! And I'll not leave him did you heard!!)

He tried to say somethng!!!Bt she roared n said_"get out right now!!!"

He shivered wid her stern voice n moves out as fast as he can!!!

Ryah took a deep breath as soon as the guy left.... She walks towards the window and closes her eyes thinking....." it's been 1001 nights since i am here..... I remember how he tells my father to get him a new girl to marry and kill her straightaway.... I saw my father everyday in grief due to him and i can't see my father in that state that's why i decided to marry him and be his next target so that i can stop his cruelty.... That's why intentionally i started telling him stories and mixes one with other so that he can delay my beheading day after day to know the end of the stories i have been telling with a hope that, the merciless heartless king get some brain and understand the moral behinds the stories i am telling and change into the one he was before but by each passing day i am feeling like all the try all the hopes all the stories i have been telling to him were worthless...... And my hopes die day by day..... Sometimes i feel he is changing but other day he do something which makes me feel he'll never change, and finally i gave up all my hopes today and told him to behead me as i couldn't hold onto my emotions  and his stone hearted nature...... I am fed up of telling stories and making him understand the morals behind him but it seems unaffected, it's some kind of entertainment, curiosity for him but for me it's totally changed..... For the moto i came and for the moto i want to live with him is completely changed..... HE is the change for me but i wish i could be HIS changed instead"_ a tear dropped from her eyes which she wiped immediately as someone comes in disturbing her thoughts...

!*****************************
Shehreyar kept a meeting in the darbaar ...
All the people were called ....
Ryah ws also dere!!!

Shehryaar looks at Ryah before saying_" Hum Shehzade Shehryaar yeh elaan karte hain ki aaj ke baad koi bhi ladki  hamare inteqaam ke naam par maari nahi jayegi"

( I King Shehryaar orders that from today no inocent girl will die in the name of my revenge)

Everyone present their looks on shocked, they didn't expected dis at all.... They were happy as well as astonished.... Ryah looks at him with glassy eyes, somewhere deep in her heart she knows he has changed but her mind never agreed on it and now after hearing him.... She could feel her heart flutter with joy and her tears dripping down from her eyes in happiness....... Her heart stopped beating after what she heard.

Shehryaar sighs taking a deep breath_" aur Hum  is bhari sabah k samne Shehzaadi Ryah ko hamare sath bandhe hue is rishte se hamesha  ke liye aazaad karte hain or unko hukum dete hain k wo abhi isi waqt yeh saltanat chodh ke hamesha  ke liye chali jaye or apni nae zindagi ka agaaz karen"_ he spoke with heavy heart and control his unshed tears which are shining in his eyes

(I king shehryaar infront of you all frees Princess Ryah from our unwanted relation and also orders her to leave this kingdom for forever and start her new life in any other place...)

Her heartbeat stopped at the moment she hears him, all her joy happiness vanished in a second.... She could feel her hot tears dripping down her cheeks.... Her eyes travel to him where he was sitting unaffected by his own decision.

He gets up from his throne as he couldn't hold onto his emotions more_
""Takhliya"_

he walks away without glancing at her. and left the place ignoring everyone's gasp.

Her hopes,happiness died in the moment ....
all she could feel is numbness , her hot tears  and the silent broken sound of her heart....

Moujza-e-uns ka rang chah chuka tha
Ek pathar bhi insan bana chuka tha
Na jane kya likha tha inki takdeer mai,
Na chahte hue bhi judaa horhy the
-fizo
