“My whole life was a one big True Lie.”

°°°°

"Shhhhhh."

Meeran couldn't believe his ears, Bahar shouted like he was going to kill her. And he was also cursing himself for being an idiot to just show her off the knife like that.

"What is this?"

Bahar stand ten feets away from him, she may hate her life right now or even wishes to end it, but she didn't actually wanted to die.

"Look I'm sorry for scaring you. First you relax yourself I'm not going to kill you. I wanted to tell you something. Calm down Relax. Bahar."

Meeran walked towards her and holding her arms, he assured her that she's safe with him.

"Meeran, why are you doing this?"

Bahar was Crying, she couldn't understand why her life has been such a mess.

"Look at this knife."

Meeran handed over her the knife, he was holding. Bahar took it and looked at the knife, it was big, but what shooked her to her core was the symbol that was imprinted on the knife. It was a custom made Knife, Her father's most prized possession.

"This is Baba's knife and what the hell are you doing with it?"

Meeran took the knife from her hand and looked at her, she was still trying to put the puzzles into places.

"This surely belongs to your Father Naeem Baig, but he had sold it too me, like he did with you."

Bahar was trying to process what he just said, she cannot believe he will try to mentally torcher her like this.

"So this is your new plan to fuck with my brain and the little bit sanity I've left. Right?"

She pushed him away and started throwing whatever things she could get her hands on Meeran.

"I'm not fucking with your brain. I'm trying to help you Bahar."

"By doing this you wanted to help me? Putting the blame on my Baba? You're sick Meeran!"

Bahar was going outside, but Meeran stood in her way and didn't let her move an inch.

"Why did you agreed on my offer Bahar? Why were you sleeping with me for the past two years? Without defying me? Why?"

Bahar's face turned blank, she couldn't understand why he was bringing up all this things.

"That night you came to me willingly. Even though that day you have clearly rejected my Marriage proposal."

Meeran's tone was mocking her now, his eyes boring into her little existence. Bahar couldn't even meet his eyes, she was dying out of guilt and embarrassment.

"Answer me. Bahar, what made you changed your silly mind?"

Meeran shouted at her this time, Bahar clutched her shawl tightly.

"I don't know anything. I don't want to understand anything. Just leave me alone. Go away."

Bahar's voice was Very low, if Meeran wasn't standing beside her. He wouldn't have understood a word. She was shivering badly, Meeran got worried seeing her like this. Before he could say something, Bahar fell on the ground, her senses were gone.

"Bahar. Bahar. Bahar."

Meeran was patting her cheek, but she wasn't responding, he carried her in his arms laying her down on the nearby couch.

"Bahar. Bahar. Please wake up."

He was still trying his best to wake her up and he did succeeded Bahar opened her eyes a bit, but then her eyes were closed again.

She was trying to look at him and try to open her eyes, but the voices in her head weren't let her. The voices are calling her, there's an ocean and she was walking closer to it, step by step, she was getting closer and there came a point she almost drowned but than a voice, a different voice called her out. And she got up from that deep slumber.

Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar.

She opened her eyes and looking around her surrounding, she saw Meeran laying beside her, his fingers were tangled in her hairs. She got up with a jolt and with the sudden invasion, Meeran's sleep also broke.

Meeran looked at her and unintentionally a prayer of thankness left his mouth. He hugged Bahar tightly. Bahar was trying to get free from his grip, but he wasn't letting her go.

"Leave me Meeran. I said Leave Me."

"I will not. I'm not letting you go."

Bahar's hand which were fighting him, suddenly stopped and her eyes were filled with horror. Meeran loosened his grip on her and looked at her with a smile on his face.

"Please let me go. Please Meeran."

"You really shouldn't have come to me, that night Bahar. You shouldn't have."

Meeran patted her left cheek and left the room, not before securely locking the door.

Bahar ran after him but it was too late. He had already closed the door from outside. She was now a prisoner in this golden gilded cage.

"This all is my fault. I shouldn't have gone to him willingly that night."

She was sobbing but no-one was their to wipe her tears. And all of the things that was happening to her, somewhere she was also responsible for it. Her mind wandered into the land of memories, and she started to relive the most bizarre night of her life again, she had shut off that side of her brain, but now she was willingly living the pain and agony, going back to where it all started.....

It was the best day of her life, today it was second anniversary of her and Walid's Nikkah. She was feeling extremely happy, her life was so good, she had everything she always wanted. A supporting family, friends who are always by her side and Walid, her Husband, her one true love.

She had booked a table in one of her favourite restaurant. Although she would've gone to Baig's kitchen but she wouldn't have felt comfortable their with Walid. She had informed him to come here, she was looking around when a man came out of nowhere and sat infront of her.

"Hello. I'm Meeran."

Bahar looked at him and then snorted in a disgusting way.

"I'm not interested in knowing your name. Leave me alone."

Meeran just smiled and looked at her with a bright smile.

"I want to marry you."

Bahar was taken aback by his sudden offer. She couldn't believe this man has just met her and will say something like that.

"Are you freaking out of your mind? I said Leave me alone. Bastard."

Meeran was still sitting their like nothing happened, like she wasn't getting angry at him.

"This is my visiting card. Take it when you change your mind."

Meeran placed the card on the table and Bahar was about to say something when she heard Walid's voice.

"I'm sorry Bahar i was late. Ohhh."

Walid was looking a bit shocked to see a man sitting with Bahar, but when he saw Meeran his expression changed into a bright smile.

"MEERAN SHAH."

"The one and only."

Walid shaked hands with Meeran and Bahar was looking at them with mouth open.

"Meeran you know Bahar?"

Meeran looked for a moment at Bahar and shooked his head in a No.

"We'll meet Bahar Baig, My Wife."

Walid's voice was holding pride and Bahar was happy that he introduced to that douchebag Meeran like that. A lot of butterfly Started flying in her stomach.

"She's your wife?"

Meeran's face was blank, he couldn't believe that the girl he was proposing was already married. Bahar was looking at him with a mocking expression.

"Well what were you doing here?"

Walid asked him and he just smiled half heartedly in return.

"I thought she was someone i know, by the way you guys carry on. I'll see you tomorrow at the seminar."

Meeran goes out from like a blow of Wind and Bahar was happy that he was gone. She would've totally forgot about him, if she hadn't heard that phone conversation of Walid with her father.

"Salam Baba."

Walid greeted Naeem Baig over the phone and Bahar smiled knowing he also call her father 'Baba' just like her.

"What Meeran was backing out from the deal?"

Walid's voice raised in shock. Bahar's grip loosened on the spoon, she stopped eating and looked at him.

"But baba i just met him. He was talking with me like everything's alright."

Walid put a hand on his forehead wiping the lines of sweat.

"Baba. I'll see what i can do. You don't have to stress about anything. Yeah. I will. Nothing will happen to Baig's kitchen."

Walid cut off the line and holding his head in both of his hands. He was looking like a lost gambler. Bahar was feeling uneasy she patted on Walid's wrist.

"What happened Walid?"

"Meeran had backed out from our million dollar deal and Now we're almost bankrupt."

Walid looked at her, he was on the verge of breaking down and Bahar couldn't believe what is happening.

"Bahar I'm going to our restaurant, Baba was their he was trying to talk it out with the Bank. Will you please don't mind going alone."

Walid said holding her hands in his, Bahar just smiled and assured him that she'll be alright.

"I'm Sorry Bahar. I'm leaving you here like this."

"Don't worry Walid. I understand."

Walid looked at her one last time and walked out of the restaurant. Meanwhile Bahar was looking at the visiting card infront of her. She was continuously staring at her and then she got up from her sit taking the card with her. She paid the bill and decided to go meet this man who had turned her life upside down in one day.

She was standing outside his hotel room. She was prepared to throw a fit of lava on his head.

Bahar knocked on the door and when she heard no response. She knocked again but no response and in frustration she was about to kick the door but it was opened in no second and she saw Meeran standing on the threshold in the same suit he was wearing few hours ago, its just that some wrinkles were present on it now.

"You."

Meeran opened the door of his room and Bahar Walked in. When she was passing by him, she sensed like he was drunk but she brushed that thought off her mind.

She walked deeper into the room and saw bottles of liquor on the side table. Her senses got alert and she felt a wave of shock, she had made a wrong decision coming here. But what she can do, her father almost had a heart attack, he was laying on the hospital bed fighting for his life and Walid he was trying everything he can to protect the prestige of Their family and getting them bankrupt.

"Why are you doing this?"

Bahar was not in a mood of bullshit talks.

"Well what i did?"

Meeran took a bottle of wine and sipped it. Looking or more like watching every feature of Bahar's. She was thick and Curvy. A Brown Beauty with the fire in her eyes that could make any sane man fall on his knees.

"And exactly what i did Mrs Baig?"

Meeran uttered bitterly.

"You bastard. Because of you we're on the verge of getting bankrupt. Because of you my Baba was laying on his death bed. Why did you suddenly backed out from that deal?"

Bahar Shouted at him and taking the bottle of wine from his hands, she threw it on the nearby wall.

"So you wanted to fix all of this that's why you're here."

Meeran sat on the bed flexing his muscles and looked at her like she's the most interesting thing on this planet.

"Look i don't know why you're doing this but please don't back out from this deal."

Bahar's tone changed from anger to pleading. She Don't know why she was feeling so helpless infront of him.

"Okay i will not backout from the deal. But I've one condition."

Bahar Looked at him hopefully and without thinking twice agreed to his condition.

"We are okay with any of your condition."

"Okay then Closed the door and Strip."

Meeran said picking up another bottle of wine from the stach.

Bahar's ears burned at his words. She felt like someone had slapped harshly on her face.

"What the fuck did you said?"

"I said closed the door and Strip. After that obviously we are going to fuck."

Meeran said showing all of his teeths and Bahar's whole body was burning on flames at his explicit remarks.

"You're really a Bastard."

Bahar didn't wanted to stand their any second she was going out of the room, when she heard his voice.

"A hundred million dollars hard to find in a day on top of that Your Baba will die if he didn't get the proper treatment. Because tommorrow you will woke up and have nothing money left in your bank accounts. So its up to you my darling take my offer or leave. If you leave, so does my offer."

Bahar's grip loosened on the knob and she felt a jolt of electricity passes through her body. The crying faces of her family flashes through her mind, her Baba and Walid....she was seeing them all miserable and she didn't wanted it. She came here to fix all of it and now she was going to do it.

"What do i have to do?"

Bahar turned around, her face was null of any emotion.

"Spend the night with me and i will do as you say."

Bahar locked the door and so does her fate.

A cruel smiled passed Meeran's lips and with two long strides Bahar was in clutches. How effortlessly he took her pride away........

"Meeran didn't take it away. I did it intentionally. I sold myself to him. Is it True that it was all a setup. How is it possible that in one day, all this happens? Is Baba and Walid planned it?"

Bahar was speaking to herself and then her head started throbbing painfully. She sniffed and smelled like something was burning, when she looked up she saw a haze of fire blowing on her face and an ear shuttering scream left her mouth. She felt the flames of fire catching up on her skin.

"Meeran."

Bahar shouted on top of her lungs but it was of no use. The fire has already spread around, she took a breathe heavily and her body gave up on her before she could do anything to save herself.
