....that official car was an old sedan that was used for  transporting tge judges  to frequent government meetings  and office luncheons,  fox got into that sedan from the  New York county Court  and five hours  and reached van Eton five hours later,  the car was stopped before a hardware  store,  a woman  rushed out  and without looking around simply crossed the  road,  he saw her going inside a hotel,  then he carefully  drove forward,  on the way  a park a school and several   dilapidated cottages  he came across,  he  turned a corner   to reach the  road where  houses in Victorian style were built and the most magnificent of all  was the  mansion of van Eton 

Fox turned the engine off and sent got out of the sedan,  there was complete silence  he never had before experienced,  the judge s house was in suze and appreance  befitting and impressive but it's condition wasn't good

....the chief clerk needed some help,  sitting there before him for half hour  cheerfully reminiscent of old memories  Mr fox arrived to a conclusion  that the chief clerk needed his help  for  Joseph van Eton who was ten years ago  retired,  court officer  fox  had the habit of discussing  small matters in greatest detail   to spin   around the central point  entire  history geography and  atmosphere 

Do you know he married Janet asked  the chief clerk  just after he retired,  they made a handsome couple,  though there was a twenty years  age gap between them  but they looked  quite younger not their real age,  they lived in this  city for some time  before  shifting to the north  to  settle down in a small  town  it was  van Eton  s native  place,  his was a family of repute  and  given  several  higher ranking  officers and  mayors  to the society,  owners of alcohol  breweries  and   car racing tracks  but Joseph wasn't interested in any of it,  he joined a law school  to build  his  career in  legislation 

Leaving  from here   three four times a year  he would ring up  he was happy  ,  but he did miss the  time spent here working with the rest of them in the courts but the  last time they spoke on the phone   he had felt  Joseph sounded different

.....inspector zeshan  looked at the  old man  in sheer surprise  and then  towards the  doll on the table  , definitely the doll was quite  expensive according to the statement given by the old man arbaaz, the doll  was  studded with precious diamonds,  

The inspector  stared at the old man arbaaz khan  who had  shared his complete story with him , it was  not a long story,  the inspector picked up the  doll  and  closely  scrutinized it  , greed  filled his heart,  he said  so you want to put it back from where it came, 

Absolutely,  that's what exactly I want 

But there is a condition  cunningly explained the greedy inspector 

Old arbaaz said all he wanted was to get rid of that unlucky doll he was ready to accept any and all conditions for this 

Fine, from this moment onwards never speak of it to anyone,  nor will it be mentioned in the records  or this doll will be sent to the  government stores from there to the government museum  so to say the doll will not return to its original place  and again and again you will find yourself  seeing it , zeshan  s cunning worked  exactly as he had hoped and arbaaz agreed to his  condition  believing that was just the right thing to do 

So all is finalized,  you can  go home  satisfied to lead a comfortable life

....she began to feel uncomfortable and  frightened from the loud silence inside the house,  frequently old memories started to  disturb her. How she lived a life of  comfort  in her  maternal home,  how  unfriendly she was to her married sisters and their noisy children  and shut herself in her room , today in her life  she for the first time felt her childlessness her empty  life and heavily settled  silence was alarmingly  unfulfilled  , since morning she was depressed  eversince she had spoken with Laila on the phone,  the conversation had left her emotionally drained,  to laiba was born the second son, Muhammed was away with friends dining out,  Neenah was  not herself feeling quite low, she walked into the the terrace,  her etes spotted the moon shining in the night sky,  a mystical experience was  experienced, 

Remembering..look at the  moon shining amidst the shimmering stars surrounding it, you will know  why  the moon is so arrogant,  words echoed in her mind  mamuna beghum her mother had  told her once 

She sobbed for her own  circle of stars,  

What is wrong with you,  everything happens for a reason,  God willing   things will work out favorably,  you will become a mother tried Muhammad  his best to convince her,  it was a holiday and  Neenah was  not feeling herself from morning  Muhammad understood  how incredibly overwhelmingly incomplete she felt 

Neenah  eversince  you have  started mixing with the next door neighbor  you have changed,  dear we can't  stop people from wagging their dirty tongues,  that is all they do, learn to hear from one ear to discard from the other,  that is why a pair of ears are given,  he caringly  held her hand and patted it 

page 149

....she looked at her mother in surprise  ,  and explained  the shining stars she saw in the sky, Neenah do you know why the  sky appears so glowing 

Because of the moon she replied laughing, 

Moonlight of course but  if you look carefully  the shimmering stars around the  moon add glorious  beauty to it,  woman is like a  moon  whose natural beauty is showcased  by her  progeny surrounding her they are her shining stars, also sometime  watch  those  stars around  the moon  and  the moon  shining amidst them you will know  why the moon is so arrogant,  smiling said the beghum mamuna

, she turned to look  at her mother  Dumbledore

A proposal for Neenah had arrived,  her condition was  the family must be small coincidentally Muhammad was the only son  of his family and educated and nice personality,  everyone liked mehmood,  even Neenah liked him,  both were  betrothed,  Neenah was happy for herself,  all her wishes were answered  the family was  small too, 

The great day was coming closer,  her sisters were  involved in  the  activities,  all her elder sisters and their families really  were her true  wellwishers

Mehmood sahib was also  heartily  spending money on his daughter's  wedding  and  one day sge reached  Muhammad  s home  where her in laws  were very warm and loving  and considerate

....stop you just there,  I am your  supporter

..then speak  frank straight and do tell me all about you since when are you here and been doing exactly what 

..so you want to hear it in straight line then I will let you know about just one  thing that  really matters to you 

..so let it be 

Not everything belongs to everyone what does that mean 

You committed a crime 

Great  and what crime 

When someone prays passionately  to get his love in any form  the intensity of his  thoughts  can bring him   his desired  result  but to find happiness and fulfillment in life  getting what you want is not enough  and not easy 

Inside you is hidden a heart that is not really yours 

..what rubbish you speak  he got worried 

..I can see your mind and read your thoughts 

..but I don't understand a word of what you say 

That you  extracted out of the  black  statue  that  doesn't belong to you , listen carefully to the  long story  to cut it short of satina  who adored Morena all his life  but she wasn't meant for him  nobody else liked  her either  but  he who did and was ready to sacrifice anything  for her  prayed for  in return for his life and behold  he found  her but he was transformed into the black  figure  and she  disappeared,  you stole  his life..

Oh, amazing,  you  do see things  

Of course,  trust me  put the  heart back in the black figure 

You speak absolute nonsense 

Feeble as I am  I can't force you  but only give you a piece of good advice 

Sarcastically he asked him to give him his precious suggestion 

Give back  what rightfully belongs to Sabina  or  you lose all your peace of mind,  this  figure will become a curse for you

...Sheena wasn't a Christian but she behaved like one,  he actually didn't like her at all  but when  he was forced to see her regularly  her good nature and  niceties  impressed him,  she wasn't like other ordinary girls  who backbite and spend their time moaning groaning and complaining about nothing in particular,  iqbal observed she wasn't greedy and didn't socialize  like  socialites,  her  soberness  attracted him and he shared many of his thoughts with her,  her thinking was  quite pleasant,  she looked at life objectively  , she  didn't  take  ups and downs of life personally or sank in the  depths of pathos  meaningless, simply she avoided  negative thoughts and  was very constructive  , never wasted her time over  useless matters,  that's what really  iqbal liked about her 

Today morning the  cloudy weather and  overcast  sky  at  eleven thirty  the daily  getting up time  iqbal  saw it was a dark day,  no trace of sunshine but quite pleasant outside,  this  weather  invites  the young romancers,  he decided to  take the day off from work  and  have a great time  but  how,  

It's quite hard to  spend  time alone  and Sheena wasn't available before the evening was  over,  he knew where she lived  but   he respected her request  never to  come to her place   because of their  unequal social status 

page 116

....he had been leading a secluded life for quite some time,  a a lonely life  not interested in the benefits and  dangers of such a life,  perhaps iqbal was a specimen of independent species  and there  are quickly  adapted to single living,  he too had got accustomed to a lonely lifestyle,  it becomes a natural habit  unintentionally,  iqbal  had no family  nobody to revolve around him as a close relative  who could  take  emotional interest in him or expect something from him in return 

It is a true but odd situation  , now what is the necessity of reminding someone  he should get married,  but this also is true  close and  near dear  friends  became  hyper and   single people  become easy  catches  when parents  siblings and  the other married  get worried  on someone not getting married 

His was  a life of no fun rather boring  as is life  routine and  oneself,  his father owned a small scale firm  that he had  transferred to the second wife  the step mother of iqbal,  his real mother had died in childbirth,  the step mother  died leaving tge firm to iqbal,  stepmother  never illtreated him but iqbal believed it was her helplessness  she had no other choice  she remained childless

....the case was pending in the court  over a month and it was the first day of hearing,  his  client was a neurologist and   was arrested for one of his client's  murder and  now stood there  waiting for trial The narrator  shares his experience  of expertise  as a criminal lawyer,  he had studied the case thoroughly before  taking it, his solid professional instinct  told him the doctor  tabish was absolutely  innocent,  so ethically he chose to get him out of that  situation,  he trusted himself  and prepared to handle it,  it was the first  hearing 

The judge was seated and  customarily surveyed the surroundings and looked at the other lawyer and in his  base  tone  drawled ,,prosecution 

The prosecution coughed and in a clear voice  announced  the doctor had deliberately killed his female patient,  though  a doctor's profession is considered noble  because he must  save life but some of them prove them wrong ,  their morbid  thinking  make them healer to killer , humanity  loses  credibility  of all medical  professionals,  therefore such devils as him standing there  must be  given life  sentence 

Prosecution had  dropped several bouncers quickly not letting anyone  any space for  reactions , he was ready come prepared with the nuances of all the  systems interwoven in an intricate social fabric 

The judge turned to look at the defense 

page 67

...because the murderer had walked all over the house therefore the detective also  rightly  felt he must also  look around  for clues, there were  several left over traces of madness found ,  he was  carefully   analyzing  the destructive nature of the murderer when  his official cell phone  rang 

Sir, it seems  today is the day allotted only to murders spoke duty constable  on the phone,  another murder just recently is reported from  gulistan chaurangi,  owner of gold art gallery is shot dead,  his name is Shakir

The investigating officer  stammered  if shakir  was the victim 

Right sir, Shakir  is the name of the victim 

A cold  ripple ran down his spine,  he told naiman that that  case too he will  take up, meantime  two men should be sent there,  amjad and Salim were already with him to stay back  in the  rooms just searched 

Anything else 

Find out from all the  mental hospitals  if any dangerous patient has escaped,  it is the same man on a serial  spree, beghum Jafari had heard him say  it they ought to have known it he would be back,  he had returned this time to kill them all, you, Shakir Romana and jamshed

....constant noise coming in from outside disturbed her,  she got up annoyed, out of her bed  Neena was  angry and irritated  , throwing her pillow aside sge opened the door to enter the television lounge where her three sisters and their children were busy  talking to each other 

Come on in Neenah good to see you awake  spoke appi hra good naturedly 

But when did I ever go to sleep,  how could one get up without sleeping,  Neenah  s tone was quite rude , she went to the kitchen to make tea for herself,  hara rather embarrassed turned to look at amna who was  looking back at harassment shrugging  as if wordlessly telling her Neenah s habits didn't change 

Since morning from the university her head was spinning,  she had wanted to sleep on it until she felt better,  but when she reached home  she found all of her three sisters there  her headache  grew with the children's  noise

...within a few minutes two more boys  came  there,  one exhibiting  his all teeth  said sorry for being a li late 

Not a little but a lot more than that , now  they must either do all the setting the following day or after they leave  that night,  listening to harun their displayed teeth  quickly  closed in, Karim too will come two days later only then  the work will begin in proper way, both boys nodded before  choosing to sit in a corner 

Now I ll tell you how to  do things 

Shall we eat something first was asked innocently,  breakfast was done late , it was  mainly rice , for afternoon lunch  she missed because she was getting ready to reach here, now she was starving,  without food  she didn't remember anything 

Oh yes  of course,  what would you like to eat,  though  outwardly his tone was  gentle and civil  but his teeth were grinding,  that fat woman   liked eating more than  focusing on the work 

She sweetly said anything he wanted to order  , she relaxed and made herself comfortable,  he went out to get something for her to return sometime later carrying  a couple of boxes of biryani and bottles 

What about others,  you didn't bring food for them, , he  clearly in loud voi explained  they had eaten  and if not Naan cgana was  commonly available everywhere,  , ,pushing  a table between them  ge also sat down to eat, after dinner  he began  working  explaining what she had to memorize

....the inspector one fine day was  planning  to go boating with his  nephew kamran , he was just about to leave  the office  when  beghum Jafari  an elderly woman phoned him, she appeared scared and sorrowful,  she  tried to convince him telephonically the murderer had loudly laughed , first he shot her son and then had  laughed a terrible laugh,  he must be mad  , as if he was  taking revenge and enjoying every moment of it

The inspector  started to note down her statements on the phone 

Mrs Jafari  then you must  have seen the murderer 

Not at all,  her pained voice was heard,  you see,  this is the whole issue,  she couldn't see him,  she was blind,  she asked him to reach her place immediately,  she feared the murderer might come back again the second time to kill her too

....at that moment a bus appeared and stopped before maliv

Steve said it was  the bus and  blocked the  bus against the bumper of his vehicle,  he pressed the horn and kept it pressed but the bus wouldn't stop,  they  followed the bus  for a block  before giving up the chase  , at that point a motel stood showing a board  with free wi fi  h b o a c sign

Why is the vehicle stopped  asked Courtney,  we can catch the bus on the next stop

It's an express bus and not stop midway anywhere till ardomoor hills , Steve  drummed his fingers on the steering wheel,  he offered to take them back  to the station to catch the first morning bus next day 

Thinking f spending the whole night  at the station Courtney asked if he could  lend some money to hire a taxi instead,  she promised to return the loan 

Sorry,  he excused himself he didn't have enough cash on him,  impound fees left him with nothing,  Steve then pointed towards the motel,  he could  take a room there  on credit card

Courtney  mumbled and nodded in agreement and stretched her hand to unbuckle the seatbelt, he was  doing it only for her sake and she could pay him back  later,  no hurry 

She felt she was  in rock and roller , her car  on the highest track

I play with  thoughts about someone

I play with rains of tears

Matter is not of   delay or sins 

It's a game of love 

Rememberrance is short lived 

Your tresses remind me of days and nights

I play with countless stars at night 

When the sky is empty of stars 

I play with the wickedness of nature

,....she couldn't drive in the district sara said,  it was just half hour away from the free way, Courtney  rubbed lip gloss and  then  pressed her lips together,  Courtney  filled her bag with her  jeans and  tops,  they could take mamma s car , to reach  mamma s house and the district they will have to catch a train explained sara 

Dressed like that was it alright to travel on train speaking sarcastically pointed Courtney at herself,  she checked the time on her phone,  they must go,  Gallen must be waiting there for them 

What a fool I am thought sara,  the  dress and shoes were no longer  night out gifts but were  a deliberate  meaningful bribe to help Courtney meet her boyfriend 

Sara began biting her lips  and then decisively pulled her pink sweater from the back of the chair,  Courtney made a face,  this sweater will destroy your luck

There I don't want to be dead without one in this cold, explaining  rudely sara  leaped towards the door,  her high heeled sandals were definitely new to her,

She had escaped  from her mother's view without being seen, high speeding cars,  strange network of city roads,  with  noisy Courtney by her side

...the deal body was very carefully wrapped up in a white sheet, Davis rubbed his eyes, it is always white,  for  past some time the serial killer was killing  young girls,  using same method  and  always in a motel room,  

Davis asked the  other how quickly can he  get the   details of the  d n a, Khalid turned his attention away from the   phone  to tell him  the budget was already troubling the chief,  the whole department was  shocked  three  dead bodies in a month,  Davis turned  to see a woman being stopped from  coming in, the cop was holding her back  tugging her pink sweater  sleeves,  the girl was trying to push him aside,  she was  doing her best to  keep herself  composed,  to ge herself free from him,  she was  sobbing  the dead woman was  her sister  she  repeated 

Both girls emerged drunken  from the club,  dressed in shimmering dresses  in pitch dark they looked sparkling,  Courtney   flicked her blond golden hair in a manner that appears attractive to many,  they couldn't  go back home  until Gallen  came,  Sara revolved on her quite uncomfortable pair of sandals to look  at her and asked if she wasn't being ridiculous because surely he wasn't coming,  gallen was  tgeir senior and  boyfriend of Courtney,  Sara defined him  as a person who cared for  nothing  good about his girlfriend and visited her when  ger dad wasn't home,  he was using  Courtney undoubtedly  he wasn't in love with her at all 

Sara discussed it with her friend Courtney  who refused to believe a word of it instead  sarcastically  thanked her and added it wasn't her affair  , gallen was Courtney's  matter

Early morning fig was  equally spread around  covering the entire landscape in thick white  sheet hiding it from vuew,  holding the tea cup  sitting at her computer  she was busy  preparing for her interview  with all her prayers done,  she was now working on a children's story  that was to be included in a recital  this month,  just a few days were left for the big day  but her mind was a complete blank,  she would write down something to erase it to rewrite it rephrase it  before  erasing it again and again  absolutely  unable to  focus  on her work,  words didn't  somehow  seemed perfect fit , no plot  appeared  in her blank mind,  , her mind too had   hidden behind thick fog, a spark of a bright idea  was  awaited  to shine  brilliance  to illuminate  her mind,  harun shaman was  the sunshine  she was badly missing for no reason at all,  she shutting the system down she emptied the cup and put it aside  before picking up her phone  she  got into her bed again,  all she had to do was to turn it on to check messages,  the unread message was waiting for her  to call back  there was a good news for her

....he was  sticking  new dreams in her eyes, , baiting her with his smooth charms,  pushing her towards his goals,  if she were any  wiser she would have  understood it, , there is not just one type of hunger, that is commonly known,  other than that  there are aa wide variety of hungers,  hunger for popularity,  hunger for good looks, hunger for life,  for good clothes,  for praise, , the type of hunger   decides what will satisfy it, , he was  evoking  hunger in her, ,, along with the   promises of good tasting results,  but she wasn't swallowing it, 

He explained he could have  easily gotten  a perfect voice  from the fields,  but he chose her, did she know why,  her voice had a spark,  an innocence,  a purity,  a magic that was  missing in other field workers voices,  you were born to be a star,  an overnight  success,  you will never be out of work,  you will be madly sought-after,  you will   win over the world,   defeating  all other  stars  who were there before you,  he was  choosing his words carefully  to  trap her in his net of ideas, 

She gave up and declared she had no idea from where to start  singing 

Don't you worry,  let me help you out in the studio,  

But I will not go anywhere without  taking permission from abbu,  her half hearted  approval  was enough for  saba and harun, he  asked for her number  and handed her his card and  after she left  he told saba how good saba was she must  assist him  in this project

...no matter  how many ages humans live  they don't want to die,   man wants to live  long without aging,  he lusts for life and desires for more , but with Zafar hasin the matter was absolutely different,  he had  seen forty springs,  this is considered a mature age and ripening of personality,  this is the time when  man is expected to become experienced and seasoned,  one becomes wiser , he is supposed to   be able to discern  what is right  and what is wrong,  Zafar hasin  had acquired  by now all these  attr but something happened today  that  snatched from him the will to live,  , he had returned home with a heavy heart  and pathetic  hopeless,  his wife zarina  anxiously asked what happened,   he was tired and his head terribly ached,  she suggested he would feel better after a bath, meantime she could make tea for him  he could swallow a pill with it,  it will definitely help him quickly  recover himself,  she watched her husband  carefully and added she was hoping he would come back  enthusiastic and  give some  good news

What kind of enthusiasm  he enquiring looked at his wife,  what news and what enthusiasm she was talking about 

How could he forget so quickly,  she looked at him in sheer surprise,  only yesterday he had  performed something extraordinary during his duty,  you were to be  rewarded  or given some award for it but you returned home a totally defeated man

...rabi  kept crying for  a long time  before getting up to freshen herself up, she stood before the mirror looking at herself,  she  vowed  from this point onwards she will hate him,  in her mind rose a doubt she was a weak woman,  she could never  fight back  , a sudden knock at the door  was heard,  startled she turned to look in that direction,  the knock was  heard  again the second time,  she opened the door to find the pizza boy standing there,  ma'am your order,  he held out the package,  she irritated glanced at him  explaining it wasn't hers, she hadn't ordered anything 

Just look at this address,  he handed her a piece of paper,  there was  undoubtedly  her address,  that was certainly surprising,  the delivery boy said  it was  already paid for 

The payment was done,  she repeated to herself  and  accepting the pizza  from him  shut the door after him,  she put the pizza aside and began wondering  who had sent her the pizza,  this flat address  was known only to kamal hasn,  was it a possibility  he  had ordered one for her, if it was from him  what  could be the reason,  is  that   man crazy or was he sorry for his behavior,  rabi got confused,  sge unbixed the  pizza,  the delicious  aroma   set her hunger  pangs a fire, she sat down to eat, she left the  unfinished pizza to get  to the  door  on hearing the doorbell,  thinking it must be kamal hasn  she reached the door,  she opened the door  to get another surprise,  a young stranger stood there,  he declared he lived in that flat 

page 11

...rabi s flat was  comfortable and quite nicely done,  she had liked it, she thought  she was given this residence  and  very soon  she will shift into  the boss s house with him 

Next morning she  got ready properly  before leaving for work,  taimur was  already  glued to the  key hole watching  her leave  and  waited a few minutes  to follow her

That day  kamal hasn  reached the office  after lunchtime,  rabi did try to  draw his attention towards herself,  but kamal hasn't uncaringly  went straight to his cabin 

The lift and the stairs were  side by side  directly  facing the  main entrance leading to a corridor  with another exit at the end, rabi s table was placed  by the wall with chairs arranged in neat rows around,  adjoining room was for the staff who worked for kamal hasn,  on the other side to the left was  kamal hasn s cabin, taimur could easily use rabi s office to reach  kamal hasn s cabin  and  open his  safe,  he had a  perfect plan in his mind,  taimur couldn't afford to lose this chance  and wanted no trouble  all that he wanted was  complete silence  as he  worked in silence , emptied the  safe before leaving quietly 

Rabi had already been to the boss three times  , feeling ignored  though she had  tried  several different ways to attract him

Just before office hours were over  long office meeting ended he emerged  outside his office  looking tired she thought it was  the long meeting and  not  a success

....the fiurth floor  in the multistoreyed building  in which they both were talking,  one kilometer away a similar  high-rise stood  amidst other  multistoreyed  buildings,  in this surrounded by other  high buildings  were situated  offices of big companies,  on the third floor  kamal and company  office  was  wh the company owner and the staff worked 

Kamal hasn't was  big business man,  his face always  an exhibition of rough hardness,  he was just forty,  he had accumulated  tons of wealth,  his etes  showed  superiority  and power,  he had more than one  businesses,  in the  office safe at all times  minimum of one  point  five crores were available,  he was ever ready  to finalize any profitable deal 

His favorite line was  fir any deal commercially profitable had no relevance fir bank checks,  just pile up the  amount  before him,  the  smell of money  makes  him helpless  and the  deal is done,  the stacks of money notes have hidden power 

Kamal  hasn't s secretary's  name was rabi  with  beautiful  dreamy eyes,  she had come from a small town  to work in the city, her father was dead,  mother remarried,  her stepfather was also a decent man  but she too  had her own aspirations and left them to build a life if her dreams,  there was also one of her cousins who was madly in love with her  but she was uncaring

...she sat  with her leg over the other on the fourth floor apartment  by the  huge  window in her room,  the window curtains were drawn aside  , through the clear  glass window  the  blue sky was  visible  above  the  sprawling city below, 

She was  twenty eight plus , her beautiful blue pair of eyes and rose complexion  were natural attraction,  she was dressed in jeans and  shirt  with a  colorful veil wrapped round her neck casual and smart , she was  viewing the window scene  , suddenly  another girl  her age emerged from the kitchen,  she held  coffee mugs in each hand,  coming closer she extended one  coffee mug towards her,  started from her window view she turned to give her  a wonderful smile  before accepting it 

What are you thinking  asking she  sat down in the other chair 

Thinking of the mistake  I made  she sipped her coffee 

What mistake 

I shouldn't have married him , she pursed her lips 

But I did  ask you not to  but you ignored me to listen to your mother,  for you obeying mother was more important  though you were hesitant and quite reluctant to get married to him at that point,  you didn't decline  he proposal 

You are absolutely right  , her tone was saturated with regret,  she swallowed another sip of coffee,  they had claimed he was  extremely wealthy and completely  alone 

It became difficult to refuse and  marriage was inevitable 

Your mother left the country to  live with her son and you were married to the man ten years older,  both of you are different in nature and not compatible 

page 15

....you  are still around and not got lost,  full volume response   drew the attention of another girl walking ahead  who turned to come closer  and asked her what was the matter 

Nothing,  I can handle it

The girl watched her intently before leaving,  harun   again tried  to speak, look, there is definitely some misunderstanding,  there is an urgent and very important issue  I would like to discuss,  just give me a few minutes and I ll explain 

I don't want to hear you just  disappear out of sight,  or I scream you are  kidnapping me,  sge bit into her chocolate and  turned him to stone,  he was left  rooted to the spot , , she wasn't at all  hoping he would  give up that easily,  she turned to look back  in  surprise,  a mirthful  guffaw  burst from him  when he looked at her  stupefied  expression,  , shaking her head she walked away

It was  a bone chilling  winter evening, extremely harsh winds sent  waves of shivers through the body,  roads were  slowly  moving the regular traffic  on the roadsides  vendors and food stalls stood selling  hit food in the  local streets  small children  carried  containers  shouting  hot boiled eggs to whoever was interested,  aroma of roasted  meaty kebabs  is a most sought-after  temptation,  the  city malll was  a popular attraction  hub where  people  enjoyed  seeing others and be seen, 

Amidst all this  lighted noisy commotion  that man dressed in three piece Grey suit  restlessly  waited for someone , his ears  tuned to the exterior of the room , it was  a quiet silent room surrounded by noisy hustle outdoors,   footsteps  sounded outside the door,  a heavy  weight woman appeared , harun sgamas looked at her,  he seems something in her eyes and shifts uncomfortably,  rubbing and pressing hard on her temples she collapsed in one of the  chairs  arranged in rows  against the wall,  screaming  her head was spinning painfully and she had lost her memory 

She had got a shock,  this was the same voice and what was it she was saying,  he got up to help her but she  waved her hands to stop him
