Year 1993
15th march
This one month Harry didn't come to the university. Maybe he is regretting why is he alive. Oh what am I seeing?! Harry?! How come he has come today? Who cares?! Why is he coming towards me?
"Rose we need to talk" says Harry
"Talk about what?" I reply
"Rose!!! I am not okay! I couldn't sleep , eat , breathe this one month. The only thing which was triggering my mind was you saved me from the police. Why rose? Why didn't you tell them? You could've take your revenge. Why didn't you?" He ask
"Come on harry, I don't come here for fun or for revenge. I come here for study" I reply
" you didn't even ask me why I did this" he replies
"Did you?" I ask
"Rose I am sorry! I truely am!" He exclaims
"Well you and I are exactly in the same position. The difference is I was not guilty killing that bastard but you are guilty killing Veronica" I reply
"What did he do to you? Why did you kill him?" He asks
" after two months you wanna know why did I kill him? Are you even for real. Oops not after two months after a murder you want to know. So basically a murderer wants to know from another murderer that why did she kill her victim " I reply giving a smirk
"Rose please don't make me more guilty" he replies
"Okay lemme tell you why I killed him. I had no intention of killing him. But I was left with no other option" I reply
"You know what this is exactly what happened to me. I didn't want to kill her. It was unintentional" he replies
" ohhhhhh?!!!!! So she tried to molest a rough tough guy like you?!" I laugh
"Molest? What are you saying? Pete tried to molest you?" He asks
"Hmmm! He tried but I killed him" I reply with a smile.
"What? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" He asks being more guilty
"Because I didn't want to" I smile
"Rose.. I am sorrr..."
"Bye Harry" I leave the place.
I didn't tell harry about the incident because I wanted his sympathy. I told him because this truth will make him more guilty.
At canteen
I am sitting here in the canteen. Oh god not again harry!!!
"Rose?!" Says Harry
"What Harry????!!!!! I reply in an irritated voice
" please free me from this guilt! " he replies
"Free you?? How?" I ask
"Tell the police that I killed her. Only then we can be even" he adds
"So if you want to go to jail confess yourself. I don't have extra free time" I reply
"My confession won't work. It won't make my guilt less. But your confession will" he pleads
"Harry!! For God sake spare me" I plead
"Please rose. I beg of you. And I genuinely want your forgiveness. Not like the one you did before. A genuine forgiveness." He adds
"I already forgave you" I reply
"That was not forgiveness. Please rose I beg of you. Free me from this pain" he replies
"So you really want my forgiveness. Can you do something for me?" I ask
"Whatever you will tell I will do it" he replies
"You sure!! Think about it. It might be dangerous" I reply
" already thought about it. Tell me" he replies
I laugh at him
" okay so you need to kill someone " I reply
"What??!!!!!" He asks shockingly
"Yes you heard it right" I reply
"Do I look like a killer to you?" He asks in a low voice
"Yes. You already did a murder" I laugh
" you are crazy" he adds
"I told you won't be able to do this. Think about it Harry. After that we can be even. You won't have any guilt of accusing me. You don't even need to go to jail." I reply
"So you think I will freely roam outside killing two people" he adds
"Oh God harry leave it. Its not your cup of tea. I think you should go from here" I add
"Rose? Why are you doing this? What do you want?" He asks
"I already told you" I reply
"Who should I kill? He asks in an irritated voice
" so you are ready??" I ask
"Hmmm" he replies
"Why do I feel you are gonna betray me." I reply
"Rose trust me for once" he replies
"Okay!! Trusting you. I know you won't betray. You are fighting with your guilt. So you won't betray" I reply
"Who is going to be the victim rose?" harry asks
"The principal" I reply with a smile.
