Flashback
"Son, I am saying it to you for the last time stop the car now. Otherwise, it will not be good."
She said angrily to her fifteen years old son who was fast driving the car. But it seems her threats and anger weren't affecting him a little.
"Mom you are getting scared as if I am a little child. Now I am grown up and see how good I can drive."
Saying heedlessly he accelerated the speed of the car. On that, Mrs. Ali Shah held her heart.
"You are not that grown up that you can drive the car in the right way. Let the car stop at the side, quickly, and let me drive it. I have seen that you have learned to drive the car."
Now she said a little strictly to him.
For the last few days, he was insisting to her that she see his driving. But Mrs. Ali Shah every time dodge his insistence.
And today she succumbed to his persistence. But now she is regretting on getting agree to his persistence.
"No mom, not now. Now you have to see more."
He said stubbornly. Speed was fast same as before. Don't know why but Mrs. Ali Shah felt fear instantly.
"Son we have come a long way. Let's go back home. Your sister is alone with Dawood at home. She will be worried for us."
She glanced outside the window. They have come far away.
In the darkness of night, she was feeling scared looking at the forest on both sides of the abandoned road. And the lightening of the sky above was further terrifying the environment.
"Dawood's uncle is with her. Don't worry. Just a little more."
Now he further speeded the car. He wasn't caring about anything at all. He just wants to tell to his mother that he is not a child anymore.
Because his mother always treats him like a child. And that thing he doesn't like a bit.
"Let me get back home once I will ask Dawood how he taught you to drive a car without my permission. And for God's sake, lessen the speed, son."
There was complete solemn on her face right now.
She was getting scared of his son's craziness. If he shows stubbornness for something then he always fulfilled it. Then no one has the courage to stop him.
"Speed isn't going to lessen today, mom."
With a strange smile on his face, he was driving the car. With every passing moment, the speed of the car was getting accelerated.
"You will not be going to obey like that. I will have to do something."
She said looking at his stubborn behavior. She tried to do something by herself and here she did a mistake.
"Mom stay away."
His concentration diverted from driving in his attempt to stop his mother from doing anything. And the car which was moving speedily lost its balance.
"Son look in the front."
She instantly shouted as her eyes went to the front on seeing someone present there. But it was very late. Their car hit that person.
The child finds it hard to control his car.
Their car moved at a fast speed to the other side and collided with a tree. Mrs. Shah screaming were echoed in the car before it was hit by the tree.
Don't know how long the time passed like that. On that abandoned road, there was complete silence. As if nothing has happened here.
Her eyes were hardly able to open on the pain she was feeling in her head. Looking at the blood oozing out of her head has made her think for a while that actually what incident happened just now.
"Mom....mom are you alright? Open your eyes mom."
Summoning some courage, he turned towards his mother whose head was completely drenched in blood. He himself was also bruised but he wasn't concerned about it a bit.
"Wa......Wa..... Wadan son, I am fine. Are you fine?"
Though she was badly bruised still she was concerned about her son.
"Mom, don't worry. I will not let anything happen to you. I am going to call Dawood just now."
He was searching for his mobile phone. But his hands stopped moving on to what his mother said to him.
"Son, go and see her. Whether she is also alive. I am fine. You don't worry about me."
She was hardly able to speak. On her saying, that boy went out of the broken car ignoring his pain.
His legs started shivering on seeing the lifeless body on the road. It feels to him that he will not be able to walk.
His heartbeat further getting accelerated as he took steps to go near them.
On his going closer, he finds out there is not a single body lying on the road but another small child was present there at some distance.
It feels to him that his heart will come out of his chest. Slowly, he came near to sit with that body lying on the road. She was wincing in pain.
It seemed she was taking the last breaths of her life.
"Open your eyes."
He became scared of looking at the woman's face which was drenched in blood. She was badly bruised.
On his voice, that woman gazed at her child.
"M.....my.... daughter......save her...... protect my Hadia. Her life is in danger."
That woman was hardly able to speak. Now blood was also coming out of her mouth as well. Because of the intensity of getting hurt, she was wincing in pain.
On that woman saying, that child glanced at the body of a little child lying bruised in some distance.
And after saying these last words, that woman shut her eyes for good. And he was the one responsible for all that. In pain, he closed his eyes.
He raised from his place and came near to that little child and picked up her unconscious body into his lap.
She was also wounded a lot. Blood was oozing out of her forehead. Instantly, he puts his hand on her wound.
And that was the moment when he got the purpose of his life.
And that was the moment when two people lost their lives because of him. And that moment changed his life completely.
He was in deep sleep when in fear his eyes were opened. Right now his whole body was drenched in sweat.
He looked at the clock in the light of a yellow light bulb illuminating the room. It was three o clock in the night.
In the past years, he still can't forget that night till today.
Stroking his face with his hands, he got up and turned his neck to look towards the bed where Hadia was sound sleeping without being aware of his condition.
Taking heavy steps, he went towards the bed. He sat near Hadia and started staring at her face.
"If you find out the fact then you will hate me, Hadia. And I can't bear to see hatred in your eyes for myself."
He said laying his warm lips on the bruise on her forehead. He sat moving further closer to her and kept staring at her sound sleeping.
Because he knows after that dream he will not be able to sleep peacefully.
