Razia and Shazia were going to the library when Ikhtiyar met them outside, he was standing with his back supported on his car.
Shazia; lo agaya tumhara hero, MASHALLAH gaadi to dekho, aur wah bhai tashan bhi kamal hen, hum to ise dargah me aane wala gunda smjh rhe the
RAzia; aapi!
Ikhtiyar saw them and walked towards them, he bend forwards and did an "adab", Shazia smiled, Razia looked away.
Ikhtiyar; aap ko koi dikat na ho to hum aapke saath library me sirf beth skte hen?
Shazia; haan haan kyun nahi zarur aayie
Razia looked at her in anger, Shazia made a face that she would handle it
Shazia; wese bhi kaam to Razia ko hai hum to sirf iska sath dene aye the aap se kuch baten hojayengi to man laga rhe ga
Ikhtiyar; banda aapki khidmat me hazir hai
they went inside and sat on a table together, Razia brought some books and started making notes.
Shazia; haan to..hum hen Shazia, Razia ki khala zaat behen, hamare ami abu lucknow me rehte hen aur hum yahan padhai ki wja se, aur aap?
Ikhtiyar; hamara naam hai Ikhtiyar Mirza
Razia dropped her pen and looked up, Shazia was shocked too.
Shazia; (whispering to Razia) ye kuch ziada ittefaq nhi ho rha
Razia tried to focus on her work.
Ikhtiyar; aap dono ese chonk kyun gai?
Shazia; kuch nhi bas wese hi..haan to aapka naam Ikhtiyar hai
Ikhtiyar; haan humare ghar me bas ammi aur hamara bhai hen, humne MBA kiya hai harvard university se, aur feroz oxford se law studies kr rha hai
Shazia smiled, Razia tried to look at him, he caught her gaze she looked away.
Ikhtiyar; dekhiye hum aapki behen k saath kuch...hamaa matlab...hum sach me...
Shazia's phone rang and she got up
Shazia; hum aate hen
she went away to attend her call, Ikhtiyar kept staring at Razia, who was trying hard to concentrate. Shazia came back
Shazia; humen jana hoga zaruri kaam he
Ikhtiyar stood up too
Ikhtiyar; aap ja rhi hen to hum yahan nhi rukenge, mohtarma ko humara unse akele milna pasand nhi
he left with Shazia.
Razia tried hard to focus but her mind was glued to the thought that his name was "ikhtiyar", she somehow finished her work and checked the time, it was late, the sun had set and she knew she had to walk alone to her house.

Ikhtiyar was standing under a tree, it had started to rain unexpectedly and he didn't want to sit in his car and miss the glimpse of her, the street was deserted and only rain drops and occasional thunders were audible, after a while he saw a girl running and yelling "bachao" he removed his jacket and ran towards her. To his surprise, it was Razia, running to save herself, her hair messed up, her dupatta gone, she saw him standing shocked, and she ran into his arms, she was scared and shaking
Razia; hamen bacha lijiye...wo gunde
he hugged her back, one hand on her head, at once he understood the situation, his blood boiled, he clenched his hand, his body started to shake in anger.
Ikhtiyar; aapko kahin haath lagaya unhone?
he asked with his teeth clenched, his voice sharp
Razia; nahi..wo hum library se niqle to unhone humen dekha hamare peeche lage aur hamara dupatta pakda, hum bhage to wo unke paas reh gya
3 men arrived
man 1; chod de ladki ko wrna tujhe kaat dalenge
Ikhtiyar pulled Razia behind and stood infront of her.
Ikhtiyar; shuqr mna tune humari jaan ko haath nhi lagaya wrna tera kya kya katta tujhe smjh bhi nhi ati
the men came forward to fight, he was on fire, he quickly over powered them, hitting them hard, breaking their bones.
Ikhtiyar; Razia police ko phone kro
Razia was trembling, she didnt do anything. Ikhtiyar beat them black and blue, and all fell on Razia; feet.
Men; maaf krna behen
Ikhtiyar pulled them away from her
Ikhtiyar; ainda kisi ladki ko cheda to ankhen bhi niqal lunga, dafa ho yahan se
he went to Razia and cupped her face,
Ikhtiyar; kuch nhi hua hum hen na, humare rehte aapko koi chu bhi nhi skta
he picked up his jacket and covered her up with it,
Ikhtiyar; aapne police ko phone kyun nhi kiya?
Razia; police humse bayan maangti itne chaqar police station k...hamare abu ki izzat
Ikhtiyar punched his car in anger making a dent
Ikhtiyar; aap ladkiya, ye dunya ajeeb he jiske saath galat ho usi ko galat therati he
Razia looked down.
Ikhtiyar; chaliye hum aapko ghar tak chod aayen, ab hum aapki nhi sunenge
Razia nodded, he escorted her, as Ikhtiyar entered teh narrow lane that led to her house he was shocked, the whole lane was full of mud, they entered the area of houses, one house close to the other, the house lights were off by then, most of the families slept, Ikhtiyar took her to her house
Razia; abu ghar pe nahi hen wrna hum apko andar..
Ikhtiyar; koi baat nhi aap andar jaiye hum chale jayenge, bht raat ho chuki he
Razia smiled and went inside, she rushed to her window and stared at him walking away.
Next day Razia told Shazia everything
Shazia; kya pta usne khud gunde bheje hon tujhe impress krne k liye
Razia; aapi? kya keh rhi hen aap...aap ne unki aankhon ka ghussa nhi dekha, wo jhoot nhi ho skta
Shazia; oye hoye..kuch kuch ho rha he shayad tere dil me, unke liye

Razia; aapi humen nhi pta
she moved a paper to her, she picked it up and stared at it
Shazia; to mohtarma ko uske Malik Altunia mil hi gye?
she blushed
