Sohaib p.o.v

" How Can You Be So Careless !" Haider's voice booms in the living room .

There was complete silence and no one dared to answer him . Every man's head was down in fear .

" ANSWER ME " he voice roared as thunder .

" S- sir we- we have found the ID card and address of that girl " one of the men spoke .

I close my eyes in frustration I ask him to keep his mouth shut but -

" Where is the ID proof? " Haider asks calmly .

With hesitation he raised his eyes toward me .

If Haider weren't here I would have killed him .

He walked toward me " ID card "

I sigh " Devil she is just an innocent girl"

" I . Said . ID card " he gritted out like he is losing his patience .

With a sigh I took out the ID Card from my back pocket slamming it in his hand .

With a last glare he openly looked at the card .

" Kill her " he ordered, making my eyes widen .

" Haider she is no fault you cannot kill her " I yelled in desperation .

" She is innocent " I added fearing that he will kill her .

" She saw us , she is a threat to us , she can go to the police " his voice was dangerously calm .

" But it's not her fault , she has her whole life ahead " she is young , she doesn't deserve to die at such a young age .

Devil came closer to my face " have you forgotten the rule of our world "

I frown " you get caught , you get killed " he whispered menacingly .

" Kill her or I will '' he said for the last time. I know there is no room for argument .

" Okay boss " I nodded looking away .

I know Haider since his childhood , I know why he is what he is . But with time  I swear there is no humanity in this man .

He is ruthless when it comes to the mafia world .

Aamal p.o.v

It's been 2 weeks since I left my room .

Surprisingly my aunt and uncle weren't stressed anymore . Ibrahim called and said he is okay and coming home next month . Since that day I have been sick and  no one disturbs me much except cleaning and cooking because I don't want to burden my aunt with the whole household chores .

Aunt tried to talk to me  but I didn't have the guts to tell her what I saw that night .

Now I know why it is said in the hadees Ibn Umar reported: The Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “If people knew what I knew about traveling alone, no one would set out alone at night.”

I shouldn't have gone alone no matter what.

That night when I came back I cried and prayed tahajjud seeking forgiveness and scared for the safety of mine and my family .

I was surprised there was no news of murder in the town except that Mr Khurram left the city and closed his restaurant overnight.

I cannot believe this , those people are so powerful that they hide a murder overnight without leaving any trace . If I hadn't seen it from my own eyes I would have believed too .

He doesn't have a family and no one will try to find him anyway.

I shook my head at the thought laying on my bed. I close my eyes .

Those deep dark brown eyes flash in front of me .

I immediately sat up breathing heavily.

" No, I need to tell the police, " I whispered to myself .

" But what if they kill me? " I whispered, scared .

" But they will kill me anyway, " I cried .

I already have so much on my plate ….. finally my life is getting on track .

I wanted my grandkids hear about my successful story .

I covered my mouth horrified " I AM NEVER GOING TO GET MARRIED !   " slamming my back on the bed I covered my face with blanket .

" Are you feeling better now " I rolled my eyes as Ayesha ask me hundredth time .

" Yes AYESHA I AM FINE " I glared at her .

She cringe when I took her full name " Geez what gotten in your pat and died "

" You " I stuck my tongue out .

" Eww " she made a face , concentrating on the road as we drove to school .

After school I went to the library to pick up a book. It's been a while since I have read any novel .

My mind is already messed up. I need to take my mind off the incident . I have decided that tomorrow I will tell the police everything.

After reading my favourite novel I decided to walk to my room .

I was reciting one of the surahs in my headphones walking toward the direction of my house when I realised someone was following me .

I halt in my step, turning quickly to see no one .

" It's just your illusion Aamal " I pat my heart, calming it down .

I can see the roof of my house and about to turn when all of a sudden someone covered my nose with white clothes .

Within a few seconds I drift into dreamless sleep .
