Irtaza was almost confused by the sudden turns of events but he understood about where this situation was going, he understood how this villagers mind worked. He also knew that now if he left they would force the girl to marry and will make her life hell, he also knew that they wouldn't believe him if he told them he didn't have any relationship with this girl. In simple words there was no way they would let the girl live if he left her here but he also couldn't take her with him, or could he? Umeir ignored her words "if you're not gonna come with us by yourself batool, than we'll take you by force" umeir suddenly started walking towards them. after seeing there was no other way to get out of this situation irtaza took out his gun, aiming it at umeir, irtaza said "do you really think you can take my wife by force? And marry her even though she's already mine, huh?". She knew she wasn't his wife or anyone than why? Why was he saving her?
Chapter 1 Prologue
"p-please... Sir... Please help me"
He only give a glance at her small petite form before standing in front of her like a shield.
"who are you? And what do you want from this little girl?"
The elders looked at him firmly before one of them spoke "that's none of your business.... Give us that nafarman girl".
(nafarman: disobedient or rebellious)
He frowned as the girl tightened her hold on his arms while saying with trembling voice "p-please don't give me to them... I don't want to marry ... P-please".
He looked at her, surprised was visible on his face "marry?" his eyes scanned her whole body, she barely looked 12-14.
"are you all insane?"
This time there was a hint of anger in his voice as he glared at those bunch of men.
"how could you force a 12-13 year old to marry?!!"
"that beghairat(shameless girl) is not little she's already 16, at the right age to marry and to be breed" a man with white bread suddenly spoke up, a hint of annoyance was visible in his voice.
He spoke up impatiently "that's not a age to marry?!!".
This time the crowd of men looked much more impatient. A man in his twenties suddenly stepped out of the the crowd while speaking "gaon ke sarbarah aur aap sab antezar karo main usse le kar aata hon".
(village head and you all Wait I'll get her)
As the man spoke everyone went silent, before the the village head replied "theek ha".
(okay)
Irtaza Hussain shah looked alert as he saw a young man smiling at him before looking at the little girl gently "syeda batool fatima, your nikkah is with me and not with this ashiq of yours, be a good girl and come with us".
(nikkah: marriage_ashiq: lover)
Everyone looked surprised at the word ashiq, people that were present there immediately started whispering to each other as their eyes filled with disgust looked at the little girl 'I always used to think she was innocent' 'who knew she'll be whoring around, tainting her family's name'.
Batool trembled slightly before immediately hiding behind irtaza fully, her voice cracked slightly as she said "i don't want t-to marry you".
There was a sudden crack in umeir's perfectly sculpted Gentle expression, but as fast as it showed it also vanished, no one noticed it expect irtaza.
"batool don't be like this if not me than who'll marry you. Everyone here already knows that you were running away with this lover of yours, do you think someone other than me in this village will marry you, a already tainted girl" sadness was visible in umeir's voice.
The village head looked angry "you dirty girl, you already tainted our village's name and your family's name and now someone's pitying you, you're denying it" the village head looked at umeir with pity "son, stop it.... We can find another bride for you".
"no!!" batool immediately moved away from irtaza, like she was being burned by touching irtaza "N-no I don't even know him.... I-i.. H-he's not my lover or anything... I am not d-dirty", panic was visible on her face.
Irtaza was almost confused by the sudden turns of events but he understood about where this situation was going, he understood how this villagers mind worked.

Umeir ignored her words "if you're not gonna come with us by yourself batool, than we'll take you by force" umeir suddenly started walking towards them.
after seeing there was no other way to get out of this situation irtaza took out his gun, aiming it at umeir, irtaza said "do you really think you can take my wife by force? And marry her even though she's already mine, huh?".
She knew she wasn't his wife or anyone than why? Why was he saving her?
