LAST MAN STANDING

CHAPTER-13

Inaaya was walking on the way to her house covering her face with a scarf. The police were patrolling across the city. She was worried for Aasim but she wasn't sure if the krygonium was the reason for it. Inaaya took out her keys to open the door but then she heard some loud noises of laughter. She walked past her house's lawn and entered the house through the balcony slowly tiptoeing. She went to Noel's room and peeped through her door.

"Aahh.., Noel. You are so romantic. I don't understand why your wife doesn't like you." Noel was sleeping shirtless next to a girl on his bed. The girl had the bedsheet covered a little below her shoulders. " I just don't know. I wish all girls are like you. You are just amazing." Noel tells her. She leans over him and starts kissing. Before, it gets any further Inaaya turns her head away. Tears roll from her eyes after looking at it. *All I wanted was a family. Why? God. Why do I have to live it like this? Why can't you let someone stay with me? My parents died, my brother doesn't care, and My husband cheats on me. The only one I have is my daughter I don't know if I will have that too.* Inaaya was speaking in her mind. She has been going through a lot. She immediately left the house and walked out. Without turning her head back ever again.

"Inaaya, coffee?" Noel shouted. He saw the girl next to him was still sleeping. He got up and shouted again. There was no noise. It was the weekend. He went to check his daughter's bedroom and saw she was not there. He sees some sheets fallen on her bed. They were divorce papers. " That lady is going to die. You still don't know what I am capable of. I am coming."

In Aasim's house, Aasim was sitting on a sofa opposite Zoya and the old man. Aasim was examining both their faces in a chary way. "so, this old man from the market happens to be your uncle who sent you to India to stay safe and be a raw agent?" Aasim clarified. "yes" both replied in unison. " why would you want her to be a raw agent? And what is your name?" Aasim asked the old man. " my real name is Amarinder and I have been a RAW agent. I thought to put her in the same field just like me. I am proud of her." Amarinder smiled looking at Zoya. " till now I have seen, people use engineering as a family profession, doctor as a profession, and minister as a profession. First time I am seeing people becoming RAW agents as a family profession." Aasim told.

Then, Aasim started walking around the house letting Zoya speak with her uncle for some time. He entered the kitchen and saw an iPhone lying on the floor. It was Inaaya's. He remembered she left it there and forgot while she was pushing him in a hurry. He liked the fact that she was supporting him all this time. No one would have even thought about it. Just then the doorbell rang someone left a wooden crate on the door. He pulled it inside and opened it. It was a box loaded with krygonium balls. He slowly took it upstairs and put it in the same storage room Omar was sitting in. He saw Omar staring down at him for help but Aasim ignored it. Now he had to think about how to create a container to contain the reaction. He needed a nuclear scientist for help. A good one. He was walking around thinking of ideas. He turned towards the window and noticed a figure outside his house. Noel was creeping between the bushes to the house and Aasim didn't know who he was. He had to handle him before he gets into the house. Aasim got down the stairs and slowly stepped out of the door. Left and right, no sign of Noel. He was walking slowly from the side walls of the house. He peeped from the corner but he couldn't see him. Noel jumped from behind and both went rolling across the forest.

Both of them pushed each other. "who are you? what are you doing near my house?" "well, sleeping with my wife and you don't know who I am. I am Noel." "I don't know any Noel. I just heard the CEO of...." "Raze. Noel, the CEO of company Raze and Inaaya's wife." Noel corrected him. Aasim ran forward and punched him hard in the face. He pushed Noel onto the ground giving continuous punches. Noel's nose was painted red with blood. Noel held Aasim's collar and threw him away. "get my wife out of your house, you incompetent bastard." 

"SHE IS NOT YOUR WIFE.", Aasim shouted.

 Aasim charged toward him and Noel threw sand on Aasim's eyes. "AAHH!! stop using cheap tricks."

"you don't think it's cheap to sleep with other's wives?" Noel said. Punches were being landed on Aasim from Nowhere. Then, he slowly remained calm trying to anticipate Noel's position and he kicked him in his gut. Noel fell into a puddle. he was immediately trying to get his leg out but it wouldn't budge. It was quicksand. "HELP, whomever you are HELP" Aasim just walked back without looking back. "you don't know what could happen to you for messing with the CEO."

 "If you are the CEO, get out of the quicksand yourself. so rich you are."

 "Please believe me. We have been married for 8 years. If you want to see, I have a marriage certificate." Aasim stops walking and turns back seeing his phone. He grabs it from his hand and reads:

"This is to certify that Noel and Inaaya were joined

          in holy matrimony...." 

"See, she needs me." Noel explains. "Pull me out"
