Murder

Some days passed, and Aleezeh was sitting near her mother's grave.

She doesn't want to go home, but she has to.

Aleezeh decided to do online work so she could fulfil her mother's dream and also avoid becoming a burden on someone.

"What you got, bring it on,

I'm going to fight, fight alone. " (Abdullah Ahsan)

She was very angry at Arslan.

"I will hurt you for this.

I don't know how yet, but give me time.

A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you'll know the debt is paid."

(George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings)

Noor came to Aleezeh.

"Assalam o Alikum, Aleezeh."

"Walikum Aslam."

"Aleezeh, Ammi has sent some food for you to eat. I am going to come after some time."

"Say thanks to Aunt; I am going to wait for you."

"Ok Allah Hafiz"

"Allah Hafiz."

Noor left.

Hassan was here.

"Assalam o Alikum"

"Walikum Aslam, Hassan"

"How are you feeling now?"

"Alhumdullilah, feeling better."

"Oh, great."

"I am here to pick you up."

"I don't want to go."

"But, why? Have you forgotten your mother's last wish?"

"Give me some time."

"Take your time, but after that, you have to go with me."

"I am not going anywhere without taking my mother's death as revenge."

"If I am going to help you, will you then come with me?"

"Yes, absoultely."

"What are you going to do?"

"Wait for it."

"Ok, I am going to wait."

Aleezeh smiled.

"Allah Hafiz, Inshallah, meet you soon."

"Allah hafiz."

Hassan left.

Aleezeh was happy and thinking, What will he do?

"Thoughts like stars, scattered in the endless sky of my mind, seek clarity in the darkness."

It was dark.

She was alone on the street.

She saw someone running. She went after him and saw that he was Arslan.

He was not looking at her and was using his mobile.

She became angry.

"Now, it's time to take revenge."

She hit him on the head.

He fainted.

Aleezeh became scared and went back to her home.

She washed her hands and started crying.

She was scared.

She sat down on the floor and put her hands on her head. She was feeling guilty and worried about what she had done.

"It happened so suddenly; it happened so fast.

I knew all at once.

That none of this would last."

She was trying to sleep but couldn't.

"My eyes are so tired.

I can't sleep at night.

Your face haunts my dreams when I turn out the light."

She heard the voice of a police car.

She became so scared and worried about what would happen now.

The police came to her door.

"Mam, please open the door."

She opened the door after some time.

Hassan was also with them. He was smiling. She was surprised to see him. She became angry at him.

"Why are you here? What happened?"

"You have done a murder. Arrest her."

Police arrested her.

She was only looking at him.

"Mean him good or mean him harm,

Wherever fate may bring you,

The vile snake will always sting you."

(Charles and Mary Lamb)
