Aamal p.o.v
" No " Gasping for air, I woke up breathless from a nightmare that felt all too real.
I look around in panic only to close my eyes in relief .
" It's a dream Aamal " I murmur to myself .
" It's just a dream "
" How did you come here " I heard my aunt voice . Instinctively my eyebrows automatically furrowed together .
" Who came ?" I ask to no one .
" Escaping them " my eyes widen realisation when I heard Ibrahim bhai voice .
" Ibrahim bhai ..." Happiness jolt my body , quickly uncovering my blanket I wore my head scarf and ran downstairs but my feet halt when I heard a deafening gunshot .
Terror sucked the very breath from my mouth. I took two small steps backward.
I wanted to run for safety, but my feet would not allow me to do so , instead I ran towards Amira room only to find the bed empty .
" Amira " I whispered . The color quickly drained from his face.
Slowly with tiptoe I went to living room and hid behind the wall . A cold wave embalmed me as the hairs rose on the back of my neck and my mouth ran dry to see the sight in front of my eyes .
Aunty , uncle, Amira standing on the side of the corner on gunpoint . While Ibrahim bhai was on his knees , one man with face covered only eyes can be seen .
" Pl- please leave my son " My uncle beg helplessly .
" Do you know what he did ?" The voice was deep and husky, it had low tones that scraped like nails on a blackboard and a hiss on the letter.
" He came to me , took my money and didn't return " his voice was menacing sending down shiver my spine .
" SO YOU ARE GOING TO KILL HIM " I couldn't help but jump in the situation without thinking about the consequences.
Big mistake!
" Aamal go inside " my brother shouted but it felt like my feet refused to listen .
Slowly a man came and murmur something near his ear and boom my eyes widen as realisation dawn on me .
He is the man who killed Mr. Khurram !!
I could no longer control my hands; they were shaking in an odd trembling rhythm
" Ohh... You " he clasp his tongue.
" What a fateful day for this family " he made a tsk tsk sound .
" Two members of this family on my target" though his face is covered I can see the amusement in his eyes .
He is enjoying all of this ??? What kind of devil he is ??
" What do you mean " my brother tried to stand up but one shot from the back of the gun and he fell unconscious .
" BHAI !" I shouted .
Everything went silent I stood for a couple seconds, stomach churning.
" Now your turn '' he pointed the gun at me .
" I have a solution " suddenly a man step up .
" What Sohaib ?" His voice held irritation .
" His brother took our money , so takr this girl make our maid till then the police investigation will be over and no blood will be in our hand " I felt his solution was worse than my death idea .
No blood on hand ??? They already killed someone .
They stare at each other , felt like having an eye competition .
" Fine but if she tried to open her mouth I will kill her with my own hand " his piercing gaze directed toward me .
" No... You cannot take her " my uncle object when men tried to take me .
" You want your son stop breathing " he raised his one eyebrow mocking .
" No... No.. no " Everyone scream and even the little Amira who didn't deserve any of this cruelty .
" Then stay quiet , your girl will be with you in a year " Sohaib spoke , the devil guy was long gone .
He gave side eye to one of the man who came behind me and put something over my mouth and in a blink , darkness overwhelmed my eyes .
Present time....
Sitting down on the edge of the bed , I thought of how my fate kept playing with me . Everytime I think everything falling into places it shatter all over again . At this point I cannot blame anyone . My life has a habit of slapping me hard without sparing me a second .
All I know in the end with every hardship there is ease .
