Irtaza was in his room getting ready for the function. After an hour he and Zahra will have to appear on the stage when Shehryaar suddenly barged into his room.

"Irtaza something happened to Asma aunty." he informed.

"What?"

"Yes we've called an ambulance already. She was sitting when suddenly she fell down, holding her throat."

"Come" Irtaza said and they both rushed towards the main hall where the function was happening.

Everyone was gathered around her. They pushed away people and got into the center. She was laying on the floor, her head was in Dua's lap and Saif was continuously massaging her hands while Haseeb her feet. Her breath was hitched and she was breathing with difficult, her eyes were widened.

Everyone was screaming to call for an ambulance which was on its way. Irtaza looked towards Shehryaar who was looking at him with a familiar gaze.

He squatted down and asked Dua to make her sit and support her back. While Shehryaar ordered for a container which the maid abruptly brought.

Irtaza opened her mouth and shoved his fingers down her throat, gagging her and Saif held the container infront of her when suddenly she vomited. He did it two to three times until all the food which she had taken was out from her system.

After that, she was taken to her room so she could rest while everyone dispersed away as Shehryaar asked them to continue the party, she's totally fine.

Everyone went back to there businesses while Saif, Haya and Dua along with her went in her room and Haseeb got lost all of a sudden on getting a call.

"She was poisoned." Irtaza gritted to Shehryaar when they both went back to his room.

"How's that possible?"

"And who could dare to do that specially on this day."

"Call the security guards and I want  CCTV footage-" his sentence got cut off when Haseeb suddenly entered into his room.

"Bhai! Bhai! Daniyal escaped!" He breathlessly said.

"Fuck. How do you know?"

"Amman your third in command whom you had given the responsibility to look after Daniyal, he is my friend, he called me just now and told me that he was kidnapped while he was heading towards the warehouse this noon. Since many days, he was telling me that someone is following him but I told him that he was being paranoid. Today, he was in his car, the route was quite desolated when suddenly a group of cars attacked him and kidnapped him. He was badly beaten and was taken to a bleak area. They people forced him to call the main guard of the warehouse where Daniyal was kept and ask that guard to leave the warehouse immediately along with other guards because you had ordered him to explode the warehouse as there is a bomb planted there and in this way Daniyal will be killed without any evidence behind and they did just that. After some hours they released Amman and he was without any mobile phone and car. He remembered my phone number and called me from a P.C.O. just now. Then it fell upon me it was all a trap and Daniyal had escaped fr-" his sentence cut short when Shehryaar got a call and he picked it up immediately.

"Yes?"

"What?" 

"Ok" he said and hung the call.

He looked towards Irtaza and informed him of the news he got just now.

"Zahra had escaped the haveli leaving a note behind." He informed.

Irtaza took a long deep breath trying his best to control the immense anger and rage he felt at the moment. He was thinking hard placing all his anger aside and trying to put two and two together then it fell upon him, it was a trap, a fucking trap.

Today was a very big day, the media, MNA's, MPA's along with well known business men and the leaders of various mafias in the world was present here at the wedding. And when they will came to know that the bride ran away, it will strongly affect the family reputation which his grandfather had made all these years. It was a trap and it was not easy for him to guess who laid this trap, his one and only enemy, Khurram Osmani.

Irtaza knew there is a traitor in there mafia, first he kidnapped Amman and helped Daniyal escape, then send his spy to the haveli who poisoned Asma Aunt so everyone's attention was diverted towards her and meanwhile Zahra will escape with Daniyal.

But the question was that did Zahra know about this plan? He had already broken her phone then how can she know about this all?

He abruptly demanded for the CCTV footages, a hidden camera was also installed in the room where Zahra was getting ready for safety purposes. The haveli was to crowded today and he was already expecting an attack from his enemy and he did receive it as his sixth sense told.

He played the footages in his laptop, first of the main hall where the event was occurring. He could early see a waiteress adding something into his aunt's juice and giving it to her then the he played the second footage of Zahra's room. The bride's room was a crowded place too, many stylists, designers, maids and haveli memebers came in and out to keep a check on her when Irtaza's suddenly fell on the same waitress who was standing by her holding a glass of juice for Zahra. That waitress slowly took out the phone from her pocket and slided it down under the bed. He fast forwarded the video and then he saw Zahra standing up from her place and moving towards where the phone was following the ring tone. She squatted down, taking the phone out and she picked up the call. After hanging up the call she went out of the room and then came back in, and hysterically began to make a rope of the clothes, wrapping a shawl around her and writing a letter which she placed on the table. And then she got out of the room. This all happened when everyone was with his aunt.

He harshly closed the lid of the laptop. It was all a plan to tarnish the reputation of the family and his wife was used as a bait. Little time was left now for his appearance in the hall along with Zahra and he was clueless how will he find her in such a short time when the tracker clicked in his brain.
