forced marriage

💕The Hidden Enemy💕

Episode 19:

Hearing about the marriage, Aiza’s head starts spinning.

"I will not marry you. You are crazy, crazy! Do you even realize that today is my engagement? My family must be waiting for me."

"Please let me go."

Aiza says while crying.

"Engagement my foot!"

Izmir Khan says, growling in anger.

"Stop this crying drama. The Qazi is about to arrive."

"Why don't you understand? I don't love you. I don't want to marry you. I want to go back home. My family must be worried about me."

Aiza screams helplessly.

"Then you should have thought about all this before, sweetheart."

"I told you not to refuse the proposal. I was going to send my family to ask for your hand and take you away with honor after your farewell."

"But what did you do? Hmm... You didn’t value my words. You ignored my warning."

"And how dare you even think that you will become someone else's wife?"

"Speak! Answer me."

Izmir Khan growls and grabs Aiza’s face.

"Leave me, it hurts."

Aiza cries out in pain.

Seeing Aiza’s condition, Izmir Khan loosens his grip.

"Last time I’m saying this. Stop this crying drama and marry me willingly."

"Otherwise, don’t force me to choose another way."

Izmir Khan takes out a pistol.

Seeing the pistol, Aiza gets scared, but still gathers courage and refuses.

"You have scared me enough. I’m not afraid anymore."

"I will not marry you, a gangster."

"You can shoot me if you want."

Aiza says, gathering courage within herself, although her life was trembling with fear.

"Oh my dear, you have turned from a scared little kitten into a wild cat again."

"But I like it 🤪😉"

Izmir Khan says with an annoying smile and winks at Aiza, making her turn her face away in anger.

Izmir Khan takes out his phone from his pant pocket and starts dialing a number.

The call is answered on the very first ring.

Izmir Khan puts the call on speaker.

"Assalam-o-Alaikum! Yes, sir."

Farhan’s voice comes from the other side of the call.

"Farhan! What is the situation there?"

Izmir Khan asks in a cold tone.

Aiza’s ears immediately perk up.

"Sir, Madam Aiza’s parents are in our target range. We are just waiting for your orders. We will fire."

Aiza starts trembling with fear, and her eyes widen in shock.

"No, no! You will not do anything like that."

"Okay Farhan, fire the shots."

Izmir Khan is still speaking when Aiza interrupts him.

"No! Please don’t harm my parents. I... I am ready for the marriage."

Seeing Aiza surrender, a victorious smile appears on Izmir Khan’s lips.

"What happened, sir?"

Farhan asks from the other side.

"Farhan, just come back. Without harming anyone."

"Okay, sir."

Farhan replies respectfully.

Izmir Khan ends the call and walks outside.

After some time, he comes back with the Qazi and two witnesses, who seem to be members of his team.

Within a short while, Aiza and Izmir Khan’s marriage is completed.

A victorious smile spreads across Izmir Khan’s lips.

Aiza looks at him with hatred and turns her face away.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ever since Salman Sahib receives the news of Aiza’s disappearance, he becomes restless and heartbroken. Aiza’s mother is also in the same condition.

Whispers and gossip start among the close relatives who had come for the engagement, but Nazia doesn’t care about any of it. She only worries about her daughter.

Salman Sahib searches for Aiza like a madman until he gets exhausted, but no clue is found.

Zain is also in a terrible state because of grief and anger. He tries to find out about Aiza along with Salman Sahib, but nothing can be discovered.

Even the parlor guard and CCTV cameras only reveal that a black Land Cruiser comes and stops there.

A masked driver gets out and tells the guard to send Aiza outside.

Aiza comes outside.

Seeing Aiza coming out, the driver politely opens the car door and stands there.

Lost in her own thoughts, Aiza walks towards the car and sits inside without even looking at the driver.

The driver’s face is covered with a mask, which is why he cannot be recognized.

Salman Sahib is about to go to the police station to file a missing report for Aiza, but Zain stops him.

"If this news gets out, it will bring disgrace. I will use my connections and find Aiza."

Salman Sahib doesn’t care about disgrace; he only cares about his daughter.

But after Zain assures him, he stays quiet.

Nazia is in a terrible condition from crying.

Rukhsanda tries to comfort Nazia, but Nazia faints.

Salman Sahib and Zain quickly take her to the hospital.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

HAsher Sahib scolds Izmir Khan over the call in extreme anger.

Now the direction of his anger had shifted towards Arez Khan.

"You are his elder brother. You could have explained things to him."

"I have always taught you three to respect women, but now it feels like I have failed in raising you all."

Hasher Sahib says in a mixed state of disappointment and anger.

"Father, I had explained to him. He also didn’t have any such intention, Father. He was ready to send a proposal to her family with respect."

"But Father..."

Saying this, Arez Khan goes silent.

"But what, Arez Khan? But what?"

Hasher Sahib asks in his usual angry tone.

"Father, that girl didn’t agree."

"If the girl didn’t agree, then does that mean he will keep doing things like goons and thugs?"

"Arez Khan! I taught you people to respect women, not to ruin their honor. If that girl was refusing, then it was her right."

"I have always fought for the respect of women and the protection of their rights, and today it feels like everything has gone in vain."

"Father, I am ashamed in front of you."

"Arez Khan, what will happen just by you being ashamed? The one who carried out this whole act should also feel ashamed."

"I don’t know what kind of suffering that girl’s parents must be going through."

"Father, he is also ashamed of what he did."

"If he is ashamed, then tell him to fix it too. By reuniting that girl with her family."

"Yes, Father."

"And one more thing. Now that the girl is the daughter-in-law of this house, it is better that he brings her into this house with respect. Keeping her outside among so many people is not appropriate. You never know who is a friend and who is an enemy. So solve this matter as soon as possible and bring our daughter-in-law home."

"Yes, Father. I will tell him. He will fix everything soon."

"And you also fix everything quickly. Let us meet our daughter-in-law. In fact, bring her home now. We don’t like that girl staying outside among so many strangers."

"Yes, Father. Whatever you say."

"Take care. Allah Hafiz."

Saying this, Hasher Sahib ends the call.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Zain had put his entire network behind Aiza.

He couldn’t take help from the police, otherwise his truth would have been revealed to the whole world. That’s why he had used his own network so that he could reach Aiza as soon as possible.

But even after so many hours had passed, he still couldn’t find out anything about Aiza.

Zain was in a terrible state because of his anger. He couldn’t understand anything about this unknown enemy, the one who had first ruined his biggest deal, the human trafficking business.

Then he had ended his drug dealing worth millions and got it destroyed in the middle of the way.

Many men from his team had been killed in all of this.

Some were probably kept captive, which was why their bodies were never found.

And now Aiza’s kidnapping... it had made him understand a lot.

Could this be the same enemy behind everything?

Suddenly, Zain remembers that a few days ago Aiza had tried to tell him something, but he couldn’t listen because he was in a hurry to leave.

"I wish I had stopped... I wish."

Zain grabs his hair in anger and helplessness and starts screaming.

Suddenly, a thought strikes Zain’s mind.

"Maybe Salman uncle knows something about this. Maybe Aiza tried to tell him. Maybe I can find some clue from there."

He quickly dials Salman Sahib’s number.

After talking about Aiza, he dials another number.

After talking for a while, he picks up his car keys and wallet and leaves.

He keeps driving aimlessly on the empty roads of Islamabad, hoping that maybe somewhere he will find some peace.

Maybe the suffocation inside him will lessen a little.
