Morbid curiosity [On Going]

"The question is who are you Nadèj " putting his hands in his pockets. 

"I dont know what you're talking about,You do realise that this makes you a prime suspect for my husband's murder"my eyes were blurry but I was looking at him straight in the eye

"Did you do it"

"Shouldn't this question be directed to you." He retorted quickly

"Did you murder my husband and kids Khalid !"

"You know I didn't " he replied softly

"No I don't." Shaking my head with my eyes close.

"Will you let me go?"

"Don't you want to find out your husband's killer" waiting for my response

He circled me like shark on chums and I waited for Impact, he was going to hurt me now that I knew his secrets "let me help you " whispering in my left ear.

"I feel so stupid,Like a college girl whose just been...."

"You're different, I never get attached Nadèj  " he confided in me " I did try to ignore it but I couldn't ignore you"

"I feel something for you and I want help you if you let me"

"I am only standing here untill you decides what to do with me"

"I will never hurt you, I want you, us" he assures

"And you think that after this that I will have anything to do with you, what kind of a person do you think I am" my nostrils was flaring

"You had opportunity to go to the police but you didn't And even Now while trying to understand the situation you know I'll never hurt you"

"I want to go home" rolling my hand into a fist

"You'll  go home but first I want you to Understand that the police won't have anything on me" pausing a bit to study me " and the body  in the other room " he looked at the empty hallway " will. never. be .found ." Emphasising on each word which makes me dread

"Fighting me will only bring a trail of destruction and while you're trying to understand me, I'm trying to understand you as well"

"I showed you what I am because I trust you and I know deep down even if you'd never admit it you do feel something for me too" walking back to the door

"I will not say a word If you let me go. Now." To my surprise he stepped away and let me pass while I waited for the main door to be opened, it took everything in me to stop myself from bolting right through the door.

NADÈJ

I felt free and safe for a while, although I brought this upon myself by going to his house which is both  safe haven and a house of horrors .

I kept pinching myself searching for the truth, My reality and what I've witnessed today. The image will haunt me for the rest of my life.

But what do I do with  information like this, is he right about everything?

Days passed and I felt worse, the knowledge that someone, somewhere is grieving the loss of a loved one, knowing how that feels like and I hold the answer to their predicament makes me feel worse.

Though I avoided him as much as I can,He wouldn't stop calling and Texting. I  needed to go get help.

But who would ever believe me and what if I can't prove anything. What if he's right about me.

A knock on the door brought me back from my trance and Immediately I registered the two men standing at my door and heart starts racing.

It took a while to get around the house from the back door to the front yard.

We stoodin silence for what seemed like minutes.
"Can we talk inside" inspector Raja asked

"I rather we talk here, I know what you've done " staring at him intently

"How many times do  I have to tell you, I'm not going to hurt you. It's irritating!" Hissing

"What do you want?"

"To have a word" raja replied

"I'm leaving in a few days,I intent to carry your secret to the grave"  declaring my intentions

"Thats the problem, we can't let you out of our sight. It rather dangerous" taking a step further

"But I gave you my word" Swallowing hard.

"That's not good enough" Khalid seemed agitated and angry at the same time.

"What do you mean?"

"I need you where I can find you Nadèj" calling me by first name was something the inspector never did.

"So you can monitor me? I told you already that I'll not say a word why don't you believe me?"

"Raja and I  have Other engagements at the moment, and we're in a rush so I'll see you when I get back" he dismissed

They Both left me on the veranda and I watched while they got into a car and drove off without glancing at me not even once Because they have me right where they want me.

Days Gone by and I grew worried and sick, Keeping my doors locked always  and windows while I have nightmares about the lifeless body of that young lady who's Image I can't seem to erase from my mind.

The more I keep it to myself, the more it weighs heavy on me, depressed and traumatized yet two grown adult are living their lives like nothing happened leaving me to bear the repercussions mentally.

Khalid visits me like nothing happened, I never try to bring the conversation up but while we sit in utter silence He wears this look on his face warning me to stop thinking what my mind is trying to Phantom

The inspector Raja was nothing but a hungry snake, devil if you will . People like him should never walk among us. 

Whatever sordid entertainment they've both been enjoying is enough! The more I keep this finding to myself the more it kills me. So why do I feel obligated to Khalid.

I'm  an accessory to murder, a witness  and I tried to help them conceal murder which makes me equally guilty .
