Haider's voice brings me out of my zone.
I put the phone down and go to the bay window.
He's there, having tea with his father.
I sit there and hug my knees as I watch him.
I move my eyes away.
Don't fall in love.
My shameless eyes go back.
What's meant to happen will happen.
I shut my eyelids.
Nahin yaar Alaya, please don't catch any feelings.
I sit there, procrastinating freshening up.
This dress is extremely beautiful, I don't want to take it off.
Sana Safinaz, Gul Ahmed, Elan, Asim Jofa, Maria B, Sania Maskatiya, HSY, Deepak Parwani.
EEEEK I'll go shopping tomorrow. God, I'll go shopping with Haider, how romantic.
I look at myself in the mirror, everywhere in the room, distract myself for a long time but my mind goes back to him.
He's sipping his tea.
I'm so creepy. Stop it Alaya.
I move my finger on the closed door of the window but my mehendi gets more fun to trace.
That is, until I hear him yelling someone's name.
He puts the cup of tea down and a maid comes to take it to the kitchen.
It's the one I asked him about, the one that behaved weird in the kitchen.
What's wrong with her leg, why does she walk like—
I MUFFLE MY SCREAM.
THE HAIDER GUN HER FOREHEADED
I press my lips together and try not to cry but my inside shakes.
WHAT
I hide myself behind the wall.
what?
Mama, baba.
I take my phone and try to unlock it but my hands tremble and my insides scream.
I can't let go of my lips.
Hiccups, screams, heavy breaths.
I cover my mouth with my hands, a pillow.
My legs tremble and I fall.
HE KILLED HER.
I scream in the pillow, but intentional screams don't come out.
I can't breathe steady enough to let out a sound.
The image doesn't leave.
The bullet on her forehead—
My heart— I'm having a heart attack.
"Baba!"
My heart's dying, I'm dying.
Her eyes didn't close.
Her eyes.
She was, I had met her in life. I had known her. She can't just die.
She was real, existing.
Haider is so cruel.
Where am I living?
How could baba do this to me.
