A DERANGED SCHEME

CHAPTER NINE

ARFAN'S POV

9:00pm

I was getting ready to go out for dinner.
A friend of mine is getting married.

Wearing a silver link in the Link hole of the left sleeve of the black shadda I was wearing.

My phone which was landing on the bed rang.
'Abbaadon' was the name that appeared on the screen.

I set the phone on speaker and continued putting my link in the tiny hole.

"Ya, how far" I said

"Fine ya garin" said Abba

"Alhamdulillah, how's work?" I said

"Work is here stressing us" he replied

"Mashaa Allah"I said

"So what's up I saw your missed call" he said

"Oh yes,I called you regarding that girl,Farida,her credentials are still missing.
there's still no news about it.
I'm so stressed wallahiiii...... "

*Crack*
I heard a loud sound of glass breaking behind me,at the door area.

I turned my head to find Fareeda with a broken bowl of soup on the floor.
Her eyes were wide open, they were already red.
Ya Allah!
She heard me.

"Innalillahi wa'inna ilaihi raji'un" I mumbled.

"You lost my credentials?" She screemed

"You lost my..."

"Don't you know how to knock people's door" I said

"Shut up.
How dare you?
You even have the audacity to look me in the eyes and talk to me about some bullshit?
How dare you loose my credentials" she said

"Ok,just calm down.
It's just a..."

"It's just a what?
Why? Why? Why do you want to ruin my life please Arfan why?
My studies is my priority
Just look at what you did to me
Why are you hurting me with efforts?
Why me?
What have I ever done to you please?
I have never hurt you but all you do is try hard to make my life miserable.
Do you think I'm happy living here or you think I enjoy lying to your mom?
Poor woman! Just look at how she treats me like her's,but all I do is lie to her and Dad."

"Fareeda just listen to..."

"Shut up,you don't talk when I am talking ok.
I am sick of you and everything.
You took my things and black mailed me with it,I stayed without questioning you and now you still want to continue ordering me around?
I stayed here patiently despite the way you treat me.
The way you shout at me when ever you feel like,the way you turn me down when ever I try to talk to you about my issues,the way you turned me into a slave and everything.
Now you want me to listen to your you?
No,I am not gonna listen to your bullshit.
I am leaving and I am not gonna continue helping you like it's a responsibility.
Deal with your shit by yourself" she said

"Fareeda!
Fareeda listen to m..."

She turned to leave,then she stepped on a broken piece of the glass,the one she dropped.

"Oooooouch" she screemed in pain

"Let me help you" I said walking towards her to give her an aid.

*She stepped out and slammed the door on my face*

"Damn" I said

"Innalillahi wa'inna ilaihi raji'un" Abba said through the other end of the phone.

The call was still ongoing,I forgot to hang up
