Aslan.I combed my hair placing them neatly. With the amount of coconut oil I put on my hair, it looks shiny and properly tucked. From the mirror, I saw Abdul chacha (uncle )wearing his cap. "Abdul chacha (uncle), is Zara ready? " I asked through the mirror. "Not yet... Big madam is asking for you. Hurry up." He took the car keys from the table and left. Looking at the mirror for the last time, I took my school bag and quit the quarter.On the way my mind was repeating the mugged-up answers from chemistry as today we are going to have a minor exam. Baba (dad) use to say that a man can only progress if he is learned. It’s been a day stepping in this mansion and seeing everything luxury and wealth I was thrilled and want to own such a lavish lifestyle. And that can only be possible if I study well. It was like I was in a pond for years and now exposed to the sea. That's all I knew with my age. As I entered the mansion, I saw Zara’s father engrossed in reading newspaper in the
Aslan."Boy, what are you doing here? "At first, I was startled and yanked my head up to find Nawab sir at a few distance from me. I was so engrossed that I didn’t hear his approaching footsteps. He had a cigarette between his fingers. Seeing my reaction, he studied me carefully. "Boy, what are you doing here at this time of night?” He asked once more. I gulped. "Sir, I'm preparing for upcoming test." I replied.His lips curled into a smile but he didn't say anything. He dragged a long pull of the cigarette and released the smoke in the air calming his nerves. Taking amble steps, he rests on the empty space beside me. He was wearing casual off white tee-shirt and black sweatpants. He was sitting beside me with calm and deep thought. His one leg rested on the other as he kept enjoying the burning sensation of the cigarette. He has grace of power and aura of dominance which can even make a king bow down on his knees. His well-sculpted body and the strong muscles of his biceps were
Aslan My vision adjusted with the light of the room. The room looked familiar as I blinked my eyes several times. The faded wall of the room reminds the recent place where I took shelter. My mind tried to ruminate how I reached the quarter but nothing could be recalled.Only remembered that I dive under the water to save her. I looked around the bed and saw the tiny creature for whom I jumped in the pool was resting her head beside my body. She was sitting on a tool. I looked at her face carefully. Her mouth agape drifting in a beautiful slumber. Carefully I got up and sat on the bed without making any sound. My stomach felt empty. "She is sitting here from the moment you were brought. Poor girl...she was so worried... Madam asked for her several times but she didn't budge from here. Even sir came to take her but nobody had the ability to make her leave this place. And now look ...how she is fast asleep waiting for you to wake up. If you don't know how to swim then why did yo
Aslan.10 years later."Aslan......Aslan.... Aslan... " Everyone in the hall started chanting my name. I climbed the stairs and once I reach the ring, my head lowers entering inside the ring. Flexing my muscles, I stood infront of my rival who was standing beside the referee. I scanned the crowd who were waiting for this match with utmost excitement. Eshan was standing by the side of Mehmood bhai. He was sitting on the sofa with two flings on both his sides. Both the girls were sitting glued to him. One to his right side was wearing a red dress reaching till her mid-thigh and the another one was in a purple with the same amount of length Mehmood bhai gave a smug look towards us."The one who wins will get this beauty tonight ... " Mehmood bhai rose the hand of the girl in his right side. Men around him were eyeing the beauty with dream and desire. I averted my gaze at my opponent who was checking her with lustful eyes as he smirked like a low goon. Bloody pervert.... Soon the r
Aslan. It was eight in the evening and all the Lorries were loaded with box filled with liquor bottles. The workers were moving fast because after half an hour the lorries needs to leave and deliver to different cities and towns. Eshan was doing the paper work like keeping records of the liquor stocks. Soon the huge automobiles were ready and eventually dispatched. By the time we finished everything it was nine at night. Mehmood bhai came to check the ongoing work. After he had scrutinized everything, he said "Tomorrow there is a party in Woodland hotel. I want both of you to come. " "Bhai.... Sorry... But tomorrow we can’t." I said dipping my fingers inside my jeans pocket. "Why? " He furrowed his eyebrows. "Actually, tomorrow our graduation result will be declared. So." "Oh... I see... But the party is in the evening. Business tycoon and renowned people will be present. You should have good contact to grow. Don't you think?" "Fine then... We will be there
Aslan."Please Aslan... Please... don’t do this... Please... "She kept tailing behind like a headless chicken in whichever direction I was moving in an attempt to gain my attention. "Why don't you take a cab... Or you can call Rihan" I said sarcastically rolling my eyes. That bastard has time for everything but when it comes to her, he remains unavailable. From the childhood I have seen his mean ways. I filled the water bottle from the aqua guard and walked out near my study table. "He has to pick his uncle from the airport... And why should I even take the cab when you are available in the house." She said with annoyance. "Because I'm busy... I have works to do. " I was going back to the kitchen when she blocked my way by standing in front of me giving a death glare. I passed by her side and reached the kitchen. I opened the lid on my curry pot and with a spoon picked few morsels. "Aslan…you are supposed to take me wherever I want to go in absence of Abdul uncle. You are goi
Aslan. I had no idea how long I was standing looking at him. When the burning cigarette touch the corner between my two fingers only then I came back from the shock. “Shhaaahhhh...” I hissed in pain shaking my hand. "Aslan.... so you are Mehmood bhai right hand...I must say... Never thought that you are ' The Aslan'. .. About whom I heard a lot." He declared mockingly. My eyes which were downcast, shot up at him. "I have to do it for the evil-doer stomach" I replied in my support. "No.... No.... Don't blame your stomach... It's your high ambition and undefeatable desire to become rich." "Sir, if I'm doing wrong but you are in no good. You have been partnering with Mehmood bhai and he does no good job. I have worked with him to know his partners and you are no different. And now when they are increasing the share you are not ready to give the percentage. I don't think 30% is more." I tried to make him understand so that the matter gets solved without any blood bath. More
Aslan. (3 years later) I walked through the red carpet passing the paparazzi who stood on both the side to click one photo for their article. My guards tried to prevent them from blocking my way. Some were bombing questions about my upcoming projects and plans. Answering few of their question I climbed the stairs. Finally walking inside the decorated hall, I met the host of the evening Mr. Sameer Kumar. When he spotted me, he approached with great zeal and we shook our hands. I scanned the crowd and located Nawab Qureshi busy talking with a politician. He was facing back so he couldn't see me. Now my eyes travelled around the area in search of on single person whose presence mattered the most right now. I knew she will be in the party. For five months I was in Germany for upcoming project. These days though I had every single information about her but I missed seeing her infront of me. I left the mansion but she stayed in my heart. Sometimes I visited her college to steal a glimp
