Moosa, Natasha, Ahad, Sarmad, Owais all of them were present along with another unexpected guest name Muhammad Muntaha, Sarmad's youngest brother.
An hour before coming to the Main house, Sarmad called Moosa and took the permission to bring Muntaha along with him. Which he gladly granted, Moosa also wanted a good talk with this young man who got famous among the members within a few months after joining.
He is rumoured to be a better fighter than the Sarmad and Moosa wanted to see how much potential this guy has. Moosa told Ahad beforehand about his intention behind approving Sarmad's request and what else could Ahad ask for to make his time more delightful. One of his targets is already available and he got another bonus.
Soon Sarmad arrived with the awaited guests of Moosa and Ahad, Muhammad Muntaha. A lean young man of age nineteen, tanned skin, black eyes and hairs. However, unlike Sarmad he has soft facial features blended with mischief.
Muntaha was one of the blessed members of the gang who came from an average family background with all the privileges of life and relations and it was mere curiosity that brought Muntaha to Black Eagles despite the objection of Sarmad. But living under the protection of Black Eagles for years and observing them, he cannot fight the attraction of the power the gang holds. Besides, he wanted to know the reason why his brother works with such diligence and cherishes every member of the gang. Which he found soon after he was accepted as a member. He felt proud of his brother and his work of saving the neglected lives, not only by rescuing them from the souls eating monsters but also by giving them shelter when they are shunned by society. That's why most of the members of the Black Eagles are the ones who suffered from inhuman actions in the past.
Muntaha was astonished after meeting the young and not so arrogant leadership of the Black Eagles. He has seen Moosa Ali Khan, the leader of the gang, who was feared by the world but after a brief meeting he turned out to be the same as his own elder brother. A person with a big heart and heartless when the right time comes.
Then it was Natasha a famous boutique owner, also known as Nats Api among the gang members and adored by almost everyone but after hearing her story from his group mates whom he trained with, Muntaha went in shock. He wasn't able to decide that he should be disgusted because of her past or admire her because of her present. But her straightforwardness towards her mistakes didn't allow him to dislike her.
The third person caught Muntaha's attention was Ahad, the second in command of the Black Eagles aka 'The Brain of Black Eagles'. This was his first meeting with Ahad and he was curious because meeting this guy is a rare opportunity for the field workers. However, after talking for a few minutes with him, Muntaha realized that the rumours about him being sharp and dangerous than Moosa was true and with his good looks and wise usage of speech was more than enough to attract anyone. However, his instinct told him to keep a good distance from this guy and to his surprise he sensed Yawar being on the same page as him. Taking a mental note, Muntaha turned his attention to Moosa who was already looking at him with a small smile. It startled him and for some reason, he felt like Moosa was reading his thoughts about Ahad or perhaps it was just his imagination.
"Muntaha, this is probably your first time meeting everyone in person right?'' Moosa directly addressed him.
"Yes, it is. Thank you very much for allowing me to come."
"It was a pleasure. Actually I also wanted you to be here. I hope you realize that as Sarmad's brother you will have a special place in Black Eagles."
Muntaha straightened himself and nodded.
"Good, I want you to keep this in your mind and have some time with me after dinner." Muntaha nodded again and Moosa continued, "Anyways, this is Yawar. You must have heard about him?"
"Yes, I did." He looked at Yawar and tilted his head in acknowledgement and Yawar copied his moments.
Moosa was right, he had heard of Yawar, as the brother of Moosa Ali khan and rumoured to be third in command of the Black Eagles. He also heard that Yawar is younger than him and he already has a strong stance in the gang for his exceptional qualities, he is also the only student Sarmad trained in the gang because he wants to resign from this post and someone else needs to be prepared to take his place. Means, sooner or later, Muntaha would be working directly under Yawar.
Taking another mental note Muntaha glanced at his surroundings and found the person who was missing from the scene. Moosa's younger sister, Shahina. Who came like a gust of wind and returned after whispering something in Natasha's ear. But his eyes remained in the place she disappeared until he heard Ahad clearing his throat, gaining everyone's attention.
"How much time left for dinner Nats? I am hungry." Said Ahad.
"I will go and check." Natasha got up.
"I am coming too." Ahad also followed her after giving a strange smile to Muntaha.
After two or three minutes Ahad came back to call everyone into the dining room. While they were making their way to the dining room Yawar sprinted to the kitchen instead. But stopped finding Amma-Bi in there. He stepped aside to hide from the entrance and waited for Shahina to come out.
"Ruko (wait/stop)." Shahina heard Yawar's voice from behind and her steps halted mechanically but she didn't turn to face him.
"What are you doing?" He came in front of her and she held out the dish full of Biryani in her hands.
"Why are you taking it? Where are the maids?" His demanding voice made Shahina flinch but she didn't answer him, just stood still staring down.
"Give it to me," I He took the dish from her hands and continued, "Mehmano ke samne nazar nahi aana (don't come in front of the guest)." Yawar ordered and left.
Stunned, Shahina stood in her place, trying to believe that Yawar actually took the dish from her. She remembered him increasing her work and criticizing her way of carrying things but he never tried to help her in any way.
"Shahina? What's wrong? Why were you standing there?" Amma-Bi's voice brought her back to reality and she went into the kitchen again.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Amma-Bi asked staring at her pale face.
"I am ... fine. Amma-Bi, you should eat too." She said turning to take the plate for Amma-Bi.
