MAYA SHAHBAAZ SHAH

Sameer, a man in his sixties roared loudly in the conference hall making everyone quiet. After glaring at everyone ,he continued his words looking at his assistant "Say her name with respect. She was, she is and she will be the one handling my bussiness, my royalty and my legacy So please Me. Mohid mind your words for her."

(unka naam ehtaram se ye. No harmare business, harmari royally aur humart virrat id eldoti haqdar thi hal, aur rahengiso please Me. Mohid mind your words for her) Seeing everyone quiet. He stood up planning to leave

Any other questions?

His assistant hesitantly raised his hand making Sameer raise his brow.

Mohid further stood and started with hesitation, "You hid her till now I guess to protect her. how will she handle this much work? that too with her election next year? She'll be in danger"

(Aapne ab tak unhe chupaya hai. I guess anhe bachane is liye. Wo itna sara work kaise handle karengi? Agle saal unke election hal unki Jaan khatre me pad jaegi)

Sameer placed his palms on the table learning in he stated in a firen voice, "I am her grandpa, I can protect her First thing. Secondly she's neither some ordinary girl nor a weak one. She is the queen of Japur. She can do everything"

(First thing, main uska grandpa hu aur uski hifazat kar sakta hu. Secondly na hi wo koi aam ladki hai aur na hi kamzor. Wo Jaipur ki rani hai. Wo sab kuch kar sakti hai )

Saying so he left the hall with His guards

......................

It was dark, Suddenly a flash came and light spread out making things visible.

It was a small room with two windows adjacent walls and two doors. A double-decker bed near the window study table on side, opposite the bed a table placed in between. Bed and almirah. Suddenly a voice came from the balcony.

 Arhaan was standing there looking at Niya who was standing on the road waving her hands

"Come tomorrow for sure"

(Kal Pakka aa jaana)

Niya shouted loudly making Arhan annoyed. "Haa aa jaunga meri maa (Yes I will come my mother!)

 As Niya turned she stumbled on her feet and fell on the ground to which Arhan gave her a making laugh . she irritatedly left from there.

Arhaan too shrugged his head and went inside.

After that he started searching his closest.

With a sound the door opened revealing David, his room mate.

 He jumped on bed. and started admiring Arhaan

"What are you upto?"

Arhan said unbothered by David's gaze, while trying shirt on himself

"You are crazy man"

David exclaimed rolling his eyes, making Arhaan chuckle.

He further continued his words, with serious tone, "like seriously. you left your Mansion, your luxuries. just because of your mother's taunt. like seriously man."

Arhaan looked at David. His smile widened, Davings brows frowned at Arhaan's reaction.

making him more confused.

"Don't overthink about me, or else you'll also become a crazy man , like me ."

Saying so Arhaan laid near him and started calling his someone.

"Is nakchadhi ko kyu call kar rha hai tu?"

(Why are you calling her?!

Arhaan looked at him, he raised his one brow and asked, "Kya matlab kyu? Gf hai meri."

(What do you mean by why? She is my girlfriend.)

saying so he turned his gaze over his phone. The screen popping "HIBA". David sighed in defeat, still he tried to ask.

"Tu use pasand to karta nhi hai, fir kyu bana rakha hai use gf."

(You don't even like her, then why is she your gf)

"Haa to wo bhi koi pasand nhi karti mujhe." Time pass hi karti hai. Jab koi pasand aa jaegi to break up kar lenge. He replied normally, waiting for Hiba to pick the call.

(She also doesn't like me. She is only doing time pass with me. And when I get someone we'll break up)

David stood and started leaving the room, Arhaan stopped him.

"What happened?" His voice laced with confusion. And brows slightly lifted up.

David stopped, but not turned. He spoke with a clear voice.

"I am done. You are something that I will never understand for sure."

He left leaving Arhaan alone. Arhaan smiled at his words, and locked his gaze on his phone.

......................

Aiden was talking to someone on call angrily. His face was tight, veins popping through his arm and forehead.

Nostrils, flipping with each word.

"It took you two years to find a single man. Leave it to me... I'll do rest of the things"

He hanged the call and punched hardly over the wall in front of him, He lifted his head and glanced at his dead father's portrait.

I took him lightly. But I promise you dad. I'll bring him home for sure. Your son and my brother. I'll find him"

He stared at the portrait for few seconds, just then a maid came to call him

"Sir madan is calling you for breakfast"

He slightly nodded and signalled her to leave. After washing his face, his eyes landed over his hand.

Red , blood dripping from his knuckles. He sighed and bandaged it, his eyes were red.

The he went downstairs, masking his face with a smile. A genuine smile, that reached his eyes,

His mother was serving food for herself when she saw him coming she also served him.

 "Good morning son" she greeted, in a cheerful and happy voice, passing a vibrant smile to him. He hugged her and sat comfortably scanning his plate, overflowing with food.

"Very good morning maa" His voice, tired yet sweet. He started eating his breakfast. But He stopped when he saw her mother looking at him.

Not only looking, she was staring at him with her face placed over her right palm and left palm covering her right elbow.

 He asked her in a soft tone, What? His mother placed her hand on his, she requested him. "I want you to get married "

His face turned a bit serious, the eyes which were calm turned empty, his grip tightened over his spoon.

"With whom ?" He asked, trying to be calm.

"I asked my friend for marriage proposals. And she told me about "Niya she is a journalist she has a brother and two sisters. Here's her photo." She handed him a photo. He silently grabbed it but didn't see it. "If you are free tomorrow then we can visit them tomorrow."

Aiden nodded and started doing his breakfast. Her mother hugged him happily, making him smile.

Soon he went to his office before he could enter his office he saw a girl recording something at the back of building.

His guards tried to stop her, but he stopped them and started reading her lips. Trying to figure out her words. But he was unable to understand her words.

 Then he stood a bit close to her, eavesdropping her.

His eyes widened. He heard his name

She was telling his bad works. All his controversial contracts, his fights, family.

Aiden whispered to himself in a confusing manner. His brows joined, and index pointing at himself.

"Is she speaking about me? Am I that bad?" He questioned

His guards replied "It's their work Sir to get TRP."

Aiden nodded like a kid. After ordering something he went to her

"What's up mam?" His guard said, making her flinch her mike dropped. She glared at everyone one by one , Then her eyes landed over A guard, holding her camera.

Before she could process anything, the guard deleted her recording making her angry.

Her eyes narrowed and she Ran to the guard, snatching the camera from him.

"What are you doing? don't touch my camera, You no one."

One of His guard held her trieing to stop her. She tried to free herself but failed. as she couldn't reach his hand. Aiden tried his best to not smile but he failed at her childish behaviour

"Chodho mujhe gunden kahi ke." She barked, in anger, shaking her head in order to remove her hair from her face.

(leave me you goon)

Aiden signalled them to leave her. After getting order the guard loosened thier grip. she yanked them and snatched her camera from the other guard.

"*Achha hau chodh diya war**na*." She left her words incomplete, her checking her camera.

(It's good that you left me, or else)

Aiden glared at her "or else What? You would have beated me?" His voice sarcastic.

Niya glared at him in annoyance. Who the hell are you guys?"

Aiden smirked,"the owner of this building this parking."

Niya scanned him carefully with a feeling of hesitation she whispered to his guard "Is he Aiden?"

Before his guard could respond, Aiden shooked his head "Na not Aiden I'm AIDEN FARAZ ALI. And who are you?"

Niya gulped her saliva and tried to speak but she failed, Aiden wanted to laugh hard on her state,, but he maintained a serious face.

His eyes were fixed on her, her lips trembling. Eyes blinking again and again. Her fingers, curling her hair.

Just then his phone buzzed , gaining his attention.

Niya took the chance and sneaked out from their, holding her camera and Mike in her left hand, and tripod under her right arm.

His guards tried to follow her, but he stopped them. A smile tucked over his face, while admirring her figure

He signalled his guard to not follow her

He then went to his office room while placing his phone on his ear.

"Yes Maya."

......................

It was a dark basement, with guards stood in a row. Each one with straight posture and blank face, their black coat over pure white shirt.

One of the guard was holding the phone while, A girl was washing her hands that were soaked with blood. Her face was covered with sweat, and her black hair.

With a stroke she tied her hair up in a pony, revealing her ocean eyes, embedded in her round face.

She finally splashed water on her face, and cleaned it with her handkerchief, and then wiped her hand. She sighed, and took the phone from his guard, and left.

She seated inside her car. After scrolling for few seconds, she called Aiden.

"Yes Maya." He spoke in his vibrant voice. To which Maya just hummed, while fixing her eyes on the road.

"I thought I will do it alone, but I couldn't" he told her, and with a pause admitted." I want your help."

Maya took out her Airpods and synced her phone with bluetooth. and started driving the car, her face was cold, expressionless, eyes fixed on the Road.

"What kind of help?"she asked, with low yet strong and deep voice.

"Maya please find my brother. I haven't seen him for one year." He pleaded his voice, sweet and desperate.

Maya sighed and turned her car to right. " Okay, anything else."

Aiden smiled, and thanked her."Thank you SO MUCH Maya, I just want. him to be safe."

Maya gave a faded smile, that barely reached her face. And hanged the call. After driving for a while she stopped the car near a tree,

She got a notification from Aiden. As she opened a photo of Arhaan flashed.

Maya sent it to his assistant, then she leaned against her seat and closed her eyes. While rubbing her ring.

She wore a Signet ring with Maya embedded in it

She opened her eyes when she heard a notification, She read it "nx" garden.

Then she headed there with her guards. As the she went there she saw a huge crowd gathered in that garden, She sat inside a cafe after ordering her guards to find Arhaan.

......................

Arhaan was wearing grey shirt with black pant and black coat on it.

He was tensed and calling someone continuously after three attempts finally phone was answered

"Where the hell are you Niyu? Your sister also cancelled the plan at the last moment" His nose scruntched in annoyance, and face low.

"Sorry bro. My mother called us" she replied with a low and sad tone.

"Us? For what?" He asked .

"Hiba and me, she founded a business for me. You know her na. I didn't come then she would have manipulated father a lot." She explained.

Arhaan angrily cut the phone, her lips curled down,

"Niya won't come." He informed David , who was standing beside him.

David was about reply him, but got interrupted by a

sudden notification ." Sorry bro I'll treat you tomorrow."

A smile tucked on Arhaan's lips, he put the phone in his pocket, and wrapped other arm around David , stepping in the party crowd. after the dancing for a while they started playing - truth and dare.

One of his friends mischievously smiled at him. Arhaan shooked his head . "No no no I am not playing" He quickly shrinked in denial.

His friends started convincing him, "hey Arhan no cheating. Listen you don't have any partner. So."

Arhaan raised his brow in a questioning manner, "So.?"

"Go and get a random girl as your partner?"

Arhaan thought for a second " it sounds fun. But I know every girl here." He replied in confusion.

An idea popped in David's mind "there's a cafe newly, let's go there." He adviced.

They both went to cafe. There was not a single girl in the cafe.

David "teri Qismat me bas wo Nakchadhi hi likhi hai." He mocked him

(Only that stubborn is written in your fate)

Arhan rolled his eyes in annoyance, suddenly his eyes landed on Maya. She was entering the cafe, with such aura that everyone's eyes were stucked on her.

. Dark purple shirt black pant with black googles on her eyes. Her hairs were dancing in the air as she walked,

She sat comfortably on the chair, totally ignoring others eyes.and started scrolling her phone.

Arhan was so lost in her that he forgot David, As David saw him lost, he followed his gaze after seeing Mayas he shook Arhaan to regain his conscious.

"Go to her man" He adviced, excitedly.

Arhan gulped his saliva, and fixed his coat, hair, Though was

looking handsome , he was nervous.

David looked at him confusingly "Arhan - The greatest Arhan is her nervous you are a flirt man go get her." He tried cheering Arhaan up.

He pushed Arhan making him more closer to Mayas. He cursed David under his breath. As he was getting closer to Maya his breathe started gelting uneven. He finally went to Maya.

When she felt someone presence , she removed her googles revealing her blue eyes, she glared at him.

Artun gulped his saliva and got lost in her ocean blue eyes. That were deep, to deep. For him to stay at corner.

"Wwill." He sluttered.

she raised her brow making him more nervous. He closed his eyes and gathered all the courage he had, "Will you be my?" he spoke.

Maya was busy checking his photo, so she didn't hear him. After confirming ,he is Arhan, son of faraz All. She again looked at him, this time, with a soft face,"Sorry?" her eyes narrowed,

"Will you be my partner for the event.?" He asked with a hesitant voice. "Actually-" he further explained but stopped by her action.

she nodded slightly. A smile tucked on his lips, and he cheered in joy. "Thank you very much."

He approached his hand for her. But she just looked at him, totally ignoring his approach intentionally.

She stood without holding his hand. He awkwardly took his hand back , and started scratching his neck.

Maya's eyes landed over his collar which was curled up slightly she fixed it . "Not everyone wants princess treatment"she said in a low yet deep voice.

Saying so she went outside leaving Arhaan alone, He was still processing her words. His face started burning he placed his hands on his cheeks.

"Control Arhaan She is just a girl."
