His eyes were wide open at hearing her say Anish Khan's name . “ ANISH KHAN!! They were getting you married to that guy. Unbelievable!!", he said in astonishment. He couldn't believe his eyes that a man like Mohi- ud- deen could go to an extent of marrying his beloved niece to a man who had grandchildren of her age.
" Why? What is so unbelievable ? Do you know Anish Khan? ", she asked with confusion. She didn't understand about the expression of disbelief used by him. “ Do you know Anish Khan? He is the most wanted man in the world. Didn’t your uncle say anything about him to you?”, he said dryly. She still stared at him with disbelief.
“ No I don’t! Can you be clear? What do you mean my uncle didn’t say anything ? Are you accusing him of keeping something about Anish Khan? Then why don’t you tell me what you know about him?”, she argued. He took deep breath and searched words to disclose the secret world of her uncle to her. He felt guilty of breaking the nice picture she had carried about him.
" (Sigh!) What I am going to say may be heartbreaking to you and I am not asking to believe me totally. But this is a bitter truth. I ... Your uncle and Anish had made a deal to each other that he will provide Anish with everything for power and that included you too. Anish wanted you in exchange of creating a relationship with him. So your uncle shamelessly offered you for marriage to Anish who is three times older than you. This is not enough. There are great tales of your uncle that would change your perspective about him forever.", he said with deep sorrow
She slapped him hard which reddened his fair cheeks. "How dare you speak about my uncle? You have no rights to insult my uncle like that. Whatever you have heard is all false rumours about him. " , she cried. " I knew you wouldn't believe me ! Ok ! I will take you to your uncle so that you can see the proofs by yourself.", he said.
He dragged her to the stationed jeep where he drove towards her uncle's house. Mohi- ud-deen's men guarded his place with all their eyes watchful over any impending danger. Aafreen and Abhinav hid , making sure that they weren't visible to Mohi- ud-deen's men. Suddenly she saw her sister with Shaukeen. She was overwhelmed for few seconds but it changed into shock instantly when she saw her being dragged and beaten by Shaukeen.
