Tangled Fates!

chapter 3 "Silent Hearts"



**********Adaah******************
As Adaah walked out of the class,her favorite juniors were waiting, their faces lighting up as they saw her approach. "Sobi, what's with the limping?" one of them asked. "This morning, I saw you running from your car, and now you're acting all injured."Adaah put on her best serious face. "I had an accident. I hurt my head and leg, and the car's lights got smashed. Her juniors immediately grew worried, but Adaah was secretly enjoying their concerned expressions.She watched the teacher talking to a student across the hall. As he walked away, she couldn’t contain herself any longer and burst into laughter.'camera main haath helayai ap k saath prank howaa hai" " waved at the camera! You’ve all been pranked!" She giggled uncontrollably as her juniors started chasing her playfully.Once inside the café, they gathered at her favorite table. Adaah, still catching her breath from laughing, sighed and said, "univertay had send a waring nottification yesterday. If   the last four classes are not attend ,they won’t be allowed to sit for the exams.n if i missed the exam i had to take summer class and  I really don’t want to stay here any longer."This news made her juniors a little upset.
*****Sikandar*********
water, water, water "You need water? Dont worry I'll give u enough water as he paused for a while then completed his sentence to drown his voice dripping with malevolence. as he poured ice-cold water over the man chained by his hands, and blindfolded with a black cloth and submerged in a drum filled with vile chemicals.

The man's body convulsed as the icy water hit him, his teeth chattering uncontrollably. No, no, please! Who are you? What do you want? he begged desperation lacing every word.

"Who am I?" the captor repeated, a wicked grin spreading across his face."What do i want? you came hunting me, and now you dare to ask me?

He leaned in closer, his breath hot and foul against the captive's ear "Sissss siikaa kaa kandar..he hissed, each syllable oozing with threat.

The captive's heart thundered in his chest as the realization of his doom set in.He knew it before coming here: they had been warned.If they were caught, escape would never be an option. Sikandar was the embodiment of the Grim Reaper.His heart was noting but a cold stone,and forgiveness was a foreign concept to him.To cross paths with Sikandar was to meet Death itself.The devil can be beautiful on the outside yess  He was akin to the devil : outwardly beguilling, yet within him lurked sheer horrpr.His eyes gleamed like ice,his countenance serene and as breathtaking as the calm sea,yet his heart beat with the unyielding hardness of forged metal.

**********Adaah************

1 Maryum, one of the juniors, said, "Adaah, we’re still here. Why do you have to hate this place so much?"They all knew why Adaah hated the place and how bored they would be without her pranks and childish antics. These juniors were her only close friends, despite having many friends whose names she couldn't even remember.The girls in her class were friendly on the surface, but Adaah was acutely aware of their jealousy. She was effortlessly smart, working efficiently rather than hard. The boys admired her, but she kept a friendly distance, only helping them with studies, which made the girls envious of her beauty, brains, and confidence.Adaah often reminded herself, "Why wouldn’t they be jealous? I’m special. I’m the best creation of Allah. Everyone wants to be my friend, but only the lucky ones are those whom I choose to be friends with."Singing lines of famous pashto song "paa laila har sarai mayaan dai ,Bakhht da hago dai che laila p she mayanaa." She glanced at her juniors, grateful that among the sea of acquaintances, she had found true friends who valued her for who she really was.

******Sikandar********
Sikandar's laughter echoed through the dim, dank room, a chilling sound that reverberated off the walls and seemed to seep into the very marrow of the captive's bones.
The air was thick with the stench of chemicals and fear. Sikandar circled the drum, his eyes gleaming with sadistic pleasure." you thought you could catch me"?Now look at you, begging for mercy.
He grabbed the captive's hair, yanking his head back cruelly. Remember this moment," he snarled. Remember the name as you Sikandar as you take your last breath." with a final, malicious laugh,he plunged the man's head back into freezing,toxic water , darkness closing in as the captive's muffled screams filled the air.
On his way back ,he pulled  out his phone and dialed a number."Razaa prepare the transport to dilver the package".he commanded,not bothering to listen for a response before disconnecting.The night was dark,as he hadnt noticed the passage of time:he had gine out early in the morning and now it was dark ,and the air carried an unsettling stillness as he approached the house.
**********Adaah************
"Adaah ,stop bothering me.your father will come when his meetings are over."her mother said,her voiced edged with fatigue as she stirred the pot on the stove.Adaah have been pestering her mother since morning with all kind of questions about her fathers return and why was he late.He was supposed to come yesterday but he had spent one extra day. Mummy, she said mischievously how can you be so calm? your husband the father of yr children  is not home. If Poppy is out there having fun with his girlfriend not that i cant call him but am warning you You can't trust a man you should call again and demand an answer she said slapping the shelf..
Her mother looked annoyed but she knew her daughter was a drama queen maintaining her composure. Good for him and for you. Only a stepmom can make u a human. To me, you never listen..what say she answered in adaah style...
Astaghfirullah!! Mom how can you say that I'll kill her or anyone and if i were u id kill them.I will ruin the lives whoever looked at my husband and father n if i saw them looking at them too ill kill them tooo.. Huh, she took a breath after completing such dangerous thoughts...
Adaah," her mother sighed, putting down the spoon and turning to face her daughter, "when you're in a relationship, the most important rule is to trust and respect each other. Even if there's no love, mutual respect and understanding can make a marriage work. But if there's love without trust and respect, it has a very short expiration date.""Huh, Mom, chill. If someone breaks my trust and cheats on me, I'll beat him twice. I'll make him cry.""Adaah, it's easy to say that now, but when your heart is involved, you care about the person no matter what they do.""No, Mummy, I'm not some '70s ablaa naari. I'm a '90s bitch, and I know how to make them cry," Adaah declared, her eyes flashing with determination.Her mother shook her head, a mix of amusement and concern crossing her face. "Adaah, you think you're so modern and tough but relationships aren't about losing and winning and they certainly are not about revenge .They are about partnership,understanding, and sometimes forgivness."
adaah rolled her eyes ,but her mother continued, "When i married your father ,
i promised to trust and respect him.That does not mean i am blind to reality it means i choose to give him the benifit of the doubt because our bond is built on more than passion.its build on years of shared experinces ,sacrifices ,and yes sometimes ,doubts and fears." adaah expressions softened slihtly.and what if he betrys you.?
