The Intruder
Shah Mir was standing in the room of Aleezay. The petals of the flowers were scattered everywhere in her room. From the decoration, it seems as if someone's birthday was celebrated with only flowers.
Shah Mir was standing in front of the mirror with flowers in his hand while staring at his reflection in the mirror. At last, how can she forget about him? Doesn't she remember how he missed her since their childhood?
He always sent her gifts at a fixed time, but as always she considered his ordinary gift as the foolishness of someone poor and threw it in the dustbin.
But with time, as she grew older, she started receiving expensive gifts. In childhood, she had already hurt him so many times. But now for the last three years Aleezay, after receiving the expensive gifts from him, not only started keeping them with herself, but she was also using them.
But this time why did she forget about him? Their childhood period is not left anymore. If on the one side, the furiousness of Aleezay is at its peak then on the other side, Shah Mir's emotions and feelings for her are touching their pinnacle.
“My beauty queen, why…..? At last why, why do you always give me so pain? Doesn’t my love and my feelings have any value? Didn’t you ever feel anything for me? Didn’t you miss me for a single time? Didn’t you think about me for once?” He put his hand on his heart, staring deeply at the red roses in his hand.
In a very painful voice, he was letting out every single word. A lone tear escaped from his eye. But very soon, his expressions and demeanour started changing.
“But now, nothing will happen as such. For every single moment, I will make you feel my presence around you. You will also feel the same way I felt for you. For that, even if I have to give you pain, I won’t stop doing so. First, you just saw my helpless and poor love, but now you will see my emotions and my craziness, yes you will see the craziness of Shah Mir.” With a stern expressions on his face, he squeezed the flower holding in his hand.
In doing this, the thorns in the stem of the flower wounded his finger. But he had already endured so much pain and suffering for the sake of his love, this small wound was nothing in front of it.
Shah Mir was still busy getting harsh with himself when he felt someone was coming near the room. He quickly turned off all the lights. And the next moment, when Aleezay opened the door of her room, she was showered with a rain of flowers, making her all surprised and deciphering what just happened now.
“Ohh, what I say to this Haadi. When all the arrangements were already done in the hotel then what was the need of decorating my room?” She said heedlessly while unaware of the fact that once again these words had turned the cause of Shah Mir's wrath.
That's it. He was done with his patience. How can she consider Shah Mir's love as someone else's love, when it was Shah Mir who decorated her room?
“Happy birthday, my dear queen.” On Shah Mir wishing her in a harsh voice, Aleezay flinched at her place. Suddenly, the whole room lightened with dim lights, making it look quite romantic.
Shah Mir, wearing a hoodie, was standing near the window. His back was towards Aleezay. She was scared of seeing a stranger in her room.
"Wh....who are you? A…..and what are you doing in my room?” Upon her asking, Shah Mir didn't budge from his place. Still, he was standing there facing the window. Aleezay looked at him with scrutinizing eyes.
“Ha…..Haadi, if it’s you then please don’t do such a joke with me. I…..I am getting scare.” Once again, she sprinkled the salt on Shah Mir's wounds. He just has to decide by letting her know what actually the pain is.
This time, Shah Mir completely turned around to her. He was wearing a mask, that's why only his eyes were visible and his messy hair was scattered on his forehead while his eyes had turned bloodshot red.
He was glaring at Aleezay with his red furious eyes. Right after hearing the name of Haadi from her mouth, he instantly rushed to her and pinned her to the wall.
“Listen to my one thing with your open ears, from now on, don’t utter the name of Haadi from your mouth. Otherwise, I will cut off your tongue. Got it…” Shah Mir spoke in a dead serious tone, tightening his grip around her arms.
“L.... leave me, please back off….” Aleezay said, turning her face to the side. The mysterious eyes and fierceness of the crazy man were making her feel like burning in fire. But, in her words, Shah Mir further tightened his hold around her arms.
“I won’t back off, my beauty queen. What will you do?” His voice was stern. Aleezay felt as if the man standing in front of her was challenging her. First, she showed some resistance, but his hold on her was so strong that poor Aleeazy couldn’t release herself from his grip.
“You are hurting me.” She looked at him, taking soft expressions in her eyes. On that, Shah Mir loosened his grip a little on her.
“How did you forget about me? How could you not remember me? How can you give your precious time to someone else, instead of me? Can’t you see my emotions, my feelings? Can’t you see my love?” The words of Shah Mir were clearly exhibiting the level of his emotions. Aleezay can see a strange kind of craziness in his eyes.
“Wh…who are you? What do you want from me?” Aleezay asked in a soft voice. With longing expressions, Shah Mir's brown eyes were staring at the colour of innocence that spread on her face.
“Your lover…..I want you.” He said in a passionate voice, like wandering in the feeling of love.
“What do you mean? I'm not getting it.” She demanded, irritation apparent in her voice.
“Meaning is clear, I love you. You are my lover. You have become my stubbornness. You are the extremeness of my craziness. Why don’t you honour my feelings, my emotions for you, my love?” Shah Mir's eyes became teary.
Aleezay wasn’t getting what kind of man he was, one time, he turned angry with her, then sad, and, the next moment, he started acting crazy. But, he forgot that the one standing in front of him was also Aleezay, so how and why does she bother herself about the feelings of others?
“Stay away from me and don’t come close to me again. Otherwise…” Her hollow threats were turning Shah Mir more furious.
“Otherwise, what….?” The voice of Shah Mir echoed in the whole room.
“Speak, otherwise what…? What will you do? Tell me. Will you go away from me or you will take my life, huh? If you are thinking something like that then take out all these delusions from this tiny brain of yours, my love. Because now I won’t let you go away from myself. You are mine, only mine….” From his words, Anaaya can guess the level of his craziness.
But Aleezay also swore to herself that she would show her domineering attitude and she wouldn't subjugate to his threats. That's why again and again, she was taking his rage lightly.
“Stop your these low-level claims and third-class useless logic, who are you actually?" She asked with a scoff.
“Shut up, if you dare speak another single word, it will be very bad for you. If you feel my words and my feelings are something fake, then....and let me tell you, I am the same person who used to send the gifts and you always considered it the silliness of someone foolish and threw them in the dustbin.” Shah Mir said, hovering over her when he spoke the last words.
“What y.... you are…does it mean, you are the same guy who was chasing me in the aeroplane and then in that restaurant, it was you.” Never in her mind did Aleezay think that man would even come here behind her. Why has he been doing all this for her since her childhood? She never thought she would be that special for this stranger.
Shah Mir smirked at the astonishment of Aleezay and before he could say something else, her mobile vibrated with an incoming call. Haadi was calling her, and Shah Mir after seeing the name of Haadi, again turned furious. Before she could answer his call, he snatched her mobile and after turning it off, he threw it on the bed. Once again, he stared at her with his brown eyes.
“What the hell, what was that act?” Aleezay screamed in anger. Shah Mir has to put his hand on her mouth.
“Silent, just stay silent. From today on, if I see you somewhere near him or you try talking with him, then….”
“Then what…? He is my best friend. And who you are to stop me from meeting him and why do I leave him for you?” She retorted brazenly, without caring about his wrath. On that, he glared at her, pinching his nose.
“How many times have I told you I love you? I am your lover. You are my lover. You are my stubbornness. You are my craziness.” This time his words were enough to shut her mouth. Her eyes were popping out while staring at him. Seeing his craziness and madness for herself, she was stunned beyond her imagination.
“You are mine, just mine you are. If anyone raises his eye to look up at you, I will pluck them out. Now if anyone tries to touch you, I will cut and throw these hands. I will burn everyone, I will destroy everything.” Through words, he was revealing the extremeness of his craziness, stroking her cheek. Same way, Aleezay was also not at peace as she spoke again.
“And what if I think about anyone else or touch someone else or look at someone else, so.....” She uttered to know what could be his reaction.
“I will not spare you also. If you try doing all this deliberately then I will punish you in my own way, my beauty queen.” With longing expressions, he stared into her eyes. While calling her my beauty queen, he also squeezed her cheeks.
“Just shut up…. No one can punish Aleezay Khan, got it? Not even you can do so, Mr. Anonymous.” She was challenging him.
“Ohh really, is this so…?” Shah Mir retorted, passing a smirk to her.
“Yes, Mr. anonymous boy. I will surely meet my bestie, I will even shake hand with him and…..and….” She was speaking ignorantly, testing his patience. As her eyes met with his eyes, immediately she turned mum.
From his face, it seems obvious she wants to retreat from what she just said to him. In a nick of time, Shah Mir switched off the light and the whole room fell into darkness.
He took off his mask, putting it in his pocket, and before Aleezay could understand what he was about to do, he leaned over her face and smashed his lips on her lips to stop her from uttering further nonsense. Aleezay, who was blabbering brazenly a while earlier, was now enduring his level of extremeness.
With every passing moment, Shah Mir was getting more ravish and fierce on her lips. Aleezay started hitting him on his chest as she was having a problem in breathing, but still, he was busy doing his job, exploring her mouth and eating her lips.
The moment when Aleezay pinched him on his chest, he abruptly moved back, freeing her lips. Once she was released, she took long breaths to steady her uneven breathing.
“Cleverness and that too with me…” She could only listen to the voice of Shah Mir but was unable to see clearly his face because of the darkness. She just thought about running from him when he grabbed her tightly in his hold and picked her up in his arms.
He took her to the bed, which was covered with flowers, making her lie over it. From his intentions, it was clear, today he would take out all the stubbornness and fierceness of that arrogant girl to claim her and name her to himself.
“Now let me see how you are going to free yourself from me. This time I am gonna give you another kind of gift.” Saying that, he leaned over her neck, and started kissing her.
First, he was doing it softly by dropping light feathery kisses everywhere on her neck, but the very next moment, he turned fierce as he started biting her skin, turning more and more extreme in touching and ravishing her skin.
He was giving pain to her, making her shed tears. What a cruel man he is! Aleezay was feeling an ache between her neck and throat.
“Please, let me go, please.” For almost ten minutes, she silently endured the extremeness and the torture of biting and nipping her skin. But now, she feels she can't endure it anymore. Shah Mir sensed the pleading in her voice and the pain she was feeling.
He released her gently, lying back beside her on the bed. The scent of his perfume was now oozing out of her. For a good amount of time, he kept on lying with her putting her closer to his chest.
Then thinking of something, he got up, put on his mask, and switched on the light. Aleezay also got up quickly, sitting on the bed. She rubbed her hand on her neck. Shah Mir had already saw the marks of hickeys on her throat and neck.
He came near her, sitting beside her and Aleezay getting scared of him, scooted back, but Shah Mir didn’t let her move as he wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her closer to himself.
“No, my love, don’t scare of me. I am not going to take your life. Yes, if you try to defy my words, then I will think about doing it. And these hickeys on your neck will remind you every day that you are someone's possession, someone's love, and in someone's ownership. If you or anyone else, let alone betray me, even thinks about doing it, then I will not take long to cut his body into a thousand pieces and make it to feed the dogs. Get it, my beauty queen." He warned her, whispering in her ear.
Then putting his hand on her eyes, he took off his mask, and once again put his lips on her hickeys. But this time he released her soon. He put on his mask and walked out of her room. Soon after he left, Aleezay ran to the door, locked it and came to the mirror, standing in front of it to see hickeys on her neck.
"What was all th....this?" Either it's his love or his craziness. Since the time Shah Mir left, sleep was nowhere near her eyes. She remained awake till late at night, staring again and again at the hickeys on her neck.
It was almost four o'clock in the morning when her eyes closed and she fell asleep. At one o'clock in the afternoon, a knock on the door of her room happened. It's because of the constant knocking that made Aleezay wake up. She walked towards the door and opened it carelessly, without asking who was on the other side.
"Aleezay…what is that…? You haven't changed your dress yet. It seems you like this maxi too much." Haadi made a joke, looking at her condition. Instantly, she came back to her senses.
Soon after remembering the scene of the last night, she quickly ran back, picked up the scarf, and wrapped it around her neck. Haadi was surprised by what just happened to her.
"N….n…no, I was feeling very sleepy so I slept like that. Tell me, what's the matter? Why did you come here?" Hesitant was apparent in her voice and her act as if she wanted to hide something.
"There is no matter. I just wanted to know how are you doing. Are you fine, Aleezay?" With scrutinizing eyes, Haadi was looking at her and Aleezay just averted her eyes.
"No, I am just feeling a little exhausted. I will be fine once I take a shower."
"Ok fine, after getting fresh, come down. We all are waiting for you." Saying that, Haadi left.
And Aleezay, after locking the door, came forward and stood in front of the mirror. She took off her scarf and saw hickeys were still there. No doubt, she was way too arrogant. But after facing what happened last night, half of her arrogance had wiped and replaced it with fear.
"W...who is h…he? Why is he chasing me? I…. I have to tell this to dad. No, if I told him then he would become worry, and then again he would restrict me to home." She was murmuring to herself. In a state of confusion, she was thinking about what could be the solution to this matter.
After not getting anything, she walked to the washroom to take a bath. As she stepped out, she wore another dress. She hid those hickeys with the help of makeup, but still, she could feel burning pain on her skin.
With a tissue, she wiped the makeup. Taking a scarf around her neck, she tried to hide those hickeys. To some extent, she was successful in doing so.
