Danish Raza Mir
*****************

"I gave you one work, just one work Danish yet you couldn't complete it!", baba shouted, throwing the glass and shattering it into many pieces. The sound of the crashing glass echoed in the tense atmosphere of our living room, just like how our family shattered 14 years ago when mama died.

"Your fucking mamu, Khalid Chaudhary, killed your mother, and here you are, saving his daughter like a knight in shining armour!", baba's words dripped with sarcasm as he looked at me with a scowl. I stood there feeling the tension building up in the room.

"It's not her, Baba. She has nothing to do with this", I said, calmly trying to diffuse the situation as I removed my tuxedo. I could see my friends sitting on the couch, silently witnessing our heated argument. Baba had just arrived in Karachi, and as usual, he started shouting about how my sweetheart's father had killed my mother.

The tension in the room palpable as baba made his way towards me, his expression stern and questioning. "I think you have changed your mind, Danish", he said, his voice low and accusatory.

"You don't want your mother's revenge anymore, do you? Have you started having feelings for her murderers daughter? Is that it?", I stood there, trying my best to maintain a calm facade and not let my true feelings show.

I couldn't let baba know the truth, for I knew he would do something reckless and dangerous.

" It's nothing like that", I replied, stepping away from him. But he wasn't convinced. "You are lying", he shouted, getting dangerously close to my face. I could smell the alcohol on his breath, making me feel nauseous.

"Tell me, Danish. Do you love her?", I couldn't take it anymore. His constant badgering and accusations were getting on my nerves. This old man is getting on my nerves, I thought to myself, locking my jaw to prevent myself from saying anything rash. Why can't he just shut up and get the hell out of my house?.

"I trained you not to feel anything, Danish", baba continued, shaking his head with disappointment. "And now, you have feelings for that girl? You are getting attached? No, no, no. This is not how I raised you".

"That's not true, baba", I retorted, my anger building up to the surface. "You trained me to be an assassin for this revenge. You sent me Karachi for this mission. And now, you have come to know that I haven't harmed Khalid Chaudhary yet, and that's why you are here".

Baba's face darkened, and I knew I had struck a chord. "Yes", he admitted, his voice dripping with malice. "You have to get rid of them. And for god's sake, stop saving that bitch!", he emphasised the word bitch with venom.

I couldn't believe he said that to my sweetheart, "watch it baba", I warned, my voice trembling with anger.

"I have already told you, it has nothing to do with her. She is innocent in all of this". But baba wouldn't listen. "You are starting to develop feelings for her Danish. I haven't trained you like this", he said shaking his head with disappointment.

"You haven't trained me at all, baba", I shot back, unable to contain my emotions any longer. "You have raised me to be a emotionless killing machine, to seek revenge for mother's murder. But that's not who I want to be. I refuse to harm a innocent girl just to satisfy your thirst for revenge".

The room fell silent as baba and I stared at each other, both of us breathing heavily from the heated argument. I could see the disappointment and anger in his eyes.

"I regret to say, my emotional fool Dani, that I have to take matter into my own hands and get rid of that bitch. Khalid needs to know the pain of seeing a loved one die", he said, with a menacing smile.

"You can trust me on this, baba. If any harm comes to her, even the slightest damage to her hair, you'll see the real monster that you've shaped me into", I stated, getting closer to his face.

My father's words echoed in my mind as I climbed the stairs, "I promise you, she's going to die".

I won't let him harm her, even if it means standing in his way. He'll have to go through me to get her.
