The Dark Moon

Things change, and life doesn't stop for anybody ~Unknown It was a dark night. There was silence everywhere, not a single person was on the streets, a strong cold wind was blowing. She was walking on an unknown road. Her heart was beating fast. There were drops of sweat on her forehead, tears in her eyes and splashes of blood on her face. She was holding a knife in her right hand. Her hands were stained with blood and she kept saying, "I killed him." She didn't know why she did this, whether she did the right or not. All she knew that she loved him and would do anything for him. -------------------------------------------- A few years ago.... The weather was extremely beautiful. The rain had stopped. The sky was completely covered with clouds. There was a pleasant buzz in the atmosphere. It was ten o'clock at night. She was walking in the lawn in a blush blue dress with her long brown silky hair open. She was waiting for her father who had gone out of the country for business purpose from the past few days. The rain had stopped but her hair was fluttering due to the cold wind. She looked at the sky. The moonlight was scattered everywhere and she looked like a part of the moon herself. She started thinking about someone. 'He is so charming like a king of a kingdom who has captured my heart.' She was remembering his face in closed-eyed imagination. When suddenly the guard opened the gates, the car entered in the front yard. She quickly opened her eyes. She was lost in someone's thoughts that she didn't even realize that her father has arrived. When the car stopped in the lawn, her eyes fell on her father, who was keeping his phone in his pocket from the dashboard of the car. Mr. Abrar had also seen his darling daughter. He walked towards her smiling. About six feet tall, fair complexion, bright eyes, black hair and a short beard. "Hello my lovely daughter, how are you?", he asked excitedly and hugged her. "I am fine and have been waiting for you", she answered cheerfully while accepting his warm embrace. "Let's go inside, otherwise your mother will get angry that father and daughter started gossiping in the lawn", he said while teasing Nehal with love. She smiled after hearing this from her father. As they both entered in the lounge, Mrs. Abrar was sitting on the couch. When Mrs. Abrar saw her husband, she stood up and said, "Thank God you have arrived. We all were waiting for you". Then Mrs. Abrar served her husband a glass of juice and he started drinking. "Where are Millie and Ansha?" Mr. Abrar asked worriedly. Millie and Ansha were also the daughters of Mr. Abrar but Nehal was the darling daughter of him. "They both are asleep, they couldn't wait for you because they have to wake up early in the morning." Mrs. Abrar replied. "Dad, take a rest, you must be tired, I will tell the driver to take your luggage out of the car." She said with a bright smile. ---------------------------------- It was two o'clock at night. His eyes suddenly opened. He felt a strange burden in his heart. He was dressed in black trouser and shirt, he stood up and wore slippers in his feet and went to the terrace. At this time of night, he started walking back and forth on the terrace. The moon was shining brightly. There was a chill in the air, but it was burning him from inside. Everytime, he remembered his past he got agonized over his helplessness.. He wondered why he was like that and why all this happened to him. He was in a deep thought. His face was towards the sky and his eyes were closed. Suddenly raindrops fell on his face and it started raining heavily. He slowly walked towards inside, opened the door and went to his room. He turned off the lights in his room and layed down on the bed, but he could not sleep. Then he got up, took the sleeping pills from his side table drawer and lay down on the bed again. He fell asleep drowning in the memories of the past.
