Chapter 6.

--------------

Shehroz.

"Why do I have to go there?" I asked them confused. They shrugged and continue to eat lunch. Today is Sunday and we are off from office.

"Because they invite the whole family." Dad says sternly causing me to swallow and nod. He is the only person I am afraid of him after Mom, but beside them I don't care about anyone. I don't understand why he is always like this to me not with Shaheer. He never yelled or hit him before, but me because I am his careless son as they say every time.

After finishing lunch I head upstairs in my room and did a little work on a new issue before closing it and opening my Facebook. I rolled my eyes and scroll down when I saw a picture of mine and Zoya at a party. I have been avoiding her after Aminah left for her house. I didn't need Zoya anymore, so I just ignore her like she doesn't matter to me and in reality she is nothing to me, but only a friend and sister of my friend and business partner.

She tried to talk to me many times, but I always make some excuse before going away from her. I know what she wants to talk about. She wants to know about what happened that day. I would tell her if I know, but sadly I don't know what happened after my encounter with Smith. So I just tell her that she fall asleep in the car and I drop her home when everyone was sleeping. I know she didn't believe me, but I can't tell her something that never happened.

I don't know why suddenly Rauhan Mom invite us at their house for dinner, but I know something is going on there. I think I should ask Rauhan about it maybe he will tell me and warn me. I quickly pick up my phone and dial his number. He pick it up after 4 rings.

"Hello Shehroz." I heard Rauhan voice and in the background, I heard his daughter crying.

"Dude can you please set her aside for a few minutes." I asked him. He sighed and I heard a shuffling voice before everything went silent.

"What you want?" He asked annoyed. I sigh heavily.

"I want to know what is the reason your Mom is inviting us for dinner?" I asked him hoping he would tell me. I have a weird feeling that what is going to happen is not good.

"I don't know. Mom and Khadija suddenly planned to invite you all, they didn't tell me or Dad what is the reason, but from few days Khadija, Mom and Zoya were acting weirdly. Khadija is angry about something and is not talking to me properly." He told me worriedly. Now I am scared when he mention about Zoya.

"Zoya?"

"Yeah. Zoya has been very quiet in these few days. She didn't talk to anyone but only Mom and Khadija. She stays in her room and cry. I try to ask her, but she didn't tell me anything. I am worried about her that something happened to her." I swallow hard when he mention about Zoya condition. I know something happened that day, but I didn't remember it. I shouldn't have taken that drink, and then I didn't lose my conscious.

"Oh. Okay. I will see you tonight then." I say with a heavy sigh.

"Okay. See you soon. Bye." With that, we hung up. I closed my eyes and try to remember what happened that day. I did remember, but it was all blurred. I remember hearing someone screaming to stop fighting and walking into a room and punching someone. I also remember familiar voice telling me to stop, but I didn't. I know someone walk in that room and whisper something, but it wasn't clear. I sigh, thinking this all is not related to Zoya or else I will regret it. I am still regretting for taking her with me.

When it was 6:30 I take a relaxing shower and try myself to relax and see what is going to happen there. I changed into jean and a light blue shirt with a black sweater. I style my hairs, put on my watch and step in my shoes before walking down to join others who were already dressed and waiting for me. Mom and Bhabhi were talking casually while Dad was on his phone and Shaheer was waiting to go.

After a few minutes we all get in our cars and drove to Rauhan house. I was riding with Shaheer and his wife while Mom and Dad were coming in their car. I don't know why I can't come in my own car when we are going to the same place. Why all the strictness is for me? I hate when they do all that with me.

"Assalam-o-Alaikum." Rauhan Mom greets us smiling and let us in. We walk in the living room and sit there. Our Dads greet each other while Khadija Bhabhi and Shaheer wife greet each other. I look at the door and saw Rauhan coming with his daughter in his arms. Shaheer quickly take her from him and start baby talking to her as he loves kids and is expecting soon.

"Is everything okay?" Rauhan asked, pulling away from the hug. I smile slightly and nodded. Everyone sit down and start talking. While everyone was busy I feel gaze on me and saw Khadija Bhabhi and Rauhan Mom looking at me with a glare. I don't know why suddenly they were reacting this way, but I know something is wrong and it involves me.

I saw as Rauhan Mom says something to Khadija and she nodded. Both Khadija Bhabhi and Shaheer wife stood up and walk out of the living room. Rauhan shake me and raised his eyebrow. I shake my head and continue to talk about the business and some old college memories. After half an hour Khadija Bhabhi came and say Dinner is served. We all stood up and walk into the dining room.

"Where is your daughter Amna?" Mom asked Aunty after we were done with dinner and was sitting back in the living room. She looked at Khadija Bhabhi and nodded.

"She is upstairs in her room. She wasn't feeling well. I will check if she wants to come down or not." She say and walk out. I notice Amir also is not here. I don't know what happened to both of them that they suddenly get disappear but I do know something is really wrong and both Khadija Bhabhi and Rauhan Mom know about it.

"Assalam-o-Alaikum" We heard a soft voice from the door. There Zoya was standing with Khadija Bhabhi. Zoya looks different. Her skin is pale and her eyes were red and swollen. She has deep bags under her eyes. It looks like she cried a lot and haven't slept in days

"What happened to her?" Mom asked worriedly looking at Zoya. Everyone is also shocked to see her like this. Even Rauhan was surprised like he hadn't seen her in a long time.

"Ask your son about it." Rauhan Mom glared at me. Everyone look at me confused and I frowned. I stood up from my place and face them.

"What you mean?" I asked Aunty confused, but she glared at me and walk over Zoya and Khadija Bhabhi. She take an envelope from her and give it to my Mom. She open it and her eyes gone wide. She looked at me with mix look. Shocked and Hateful. I walked up to her and take it from her. My eyes gone wide as I look at it. No this can't be true. I haven't done anything how could they believe all this? Someone makes it up. Zoya. She makes these pictures.

"How could you do this? Why are you doing all this?" I asked her angrily. She flinched back, but keep looking at me.

"How could she do this? How could you do this Shehroz. I thought you were a nice and decent guy, but I was wrong. Aminah told me that you are making her jealous by using Zoya, but how could you go this far? How could you take advantage of her innocence?" Khadija Bhabhi raised her voice. I looked around and saw Rauhan Mom and My Mom looking at me angrily while everyone look at me confused. Dad come up to me and snatches the pictures from me and take a look. He looks at photos shocked before shaking his head and lowered his head. How could they all believe it?

"Dad it is not what it looks like. I am not in this picture. I-I swear Dad, please believe me." I try to keep my voice from breaking. Dad looked at me with disgust and shake his head. My heart stops when my parents' eyes watered because of me.

"Shehroz whatever you did was not right. No matter whatever I say to you, but you were still our son and now what you did make my head lowered in shame. You left us shameless by doing this to her. If you want to spend your future with Aminah then you should tell us, we will go to her house and talk to her parents, but you didn't have to do all this. You shouldn't have use her like this." Mom say tearfully and shamefully. I swallow hard as tears escape from her eyes. I never in my life saw my Mom crying or sad. She was always stern and held her head high and proud on her sons.

"M-Mom, I swear I haven't done anything to her. This all is a lie. Trust my Mom I would never ever do anything to make my family ashamed. Please trust me." I begged them, but they shake their head and look away. Shaheer step forward and take the photos from him and take a look of it before it was taken away from him to Rauhan.

"This isn't a lie. This all is true. If you want I can show you more proof." Zoya say for the first time since she enter into the room. I looked at her confused, but nodded. I want to see how many proof she had about all this. She look at Khadija Bhabhi and nodded at her. She seems to get what she was trying to say and nodded back before stepping away and stand beside Rauhan who was now looking at me hatefully.

I follow Zoya to her room which was next to Amir. She open the door and walk in leaving the door open for me. I walk in and the first thing I notice was her clothes everywhere and dustbin of her room was filled were tissues. She walked up to her desk and open her laptop. She put a CD in the drive and the folder made by itself. She open it and play the only video there was and expect that there were pictures that she had shown everyone down. I watch the video carefully with wide eyes and I feel Zoya moving away from there. I was shocked to see everything. It was like someone put hidden camera there to record all this.

Now, I see the blur vision getting clear. The man was forcing Zoya, but she was too weak to fight with him. Then I enter in that room and beat that guy. He fall on the floor and glared at me in video before rushing out of the room. I shut the laptop because I couldn't look anything else. I closed my eyes and my hand clenched for making this big mistake. This make ruined everything.

"This letter comes with this CD and Pictures. This is for you." Zoya says causing me to open my eyes and look at her with a small paper in her hand. I roughly take it from her and read it. My anger raised as I read it and notice who send it.

'I told you. You will regret it.'

It was sent from Smith, fiancée of my ex and the first love of my life. He ruined me. I did regret it. I looked at Zoya as she places her hand there where I never expect it. I am not ready for this, but I can't do anything.

Zoya Malik is Pregnant with my Child.
