Love's Echo

A Murder

A rainy day of monsoon with loud thundering and birds chirping. Dark weather with stormy and cloudy sky that makes the plants look like fresh and green.

Hukaymah
(A dark and quiet room, only the sound of the tickling can be heard, which makes the moments still and very peaceful. The alarm goes off shattering the peace and silence of the room)

Hukaymah to herself

"Aaaah! It's 6am, come on Hukaymah get up or else you're gonna miss this opportunity too"

(Hukaymah is nowadays jobless, unemployed as she resigned from her job 5 days ago. Because she worked very hard but didn't get that much paid. So it was a great opportunity for her that she had an interview call from the A.M BUILDERS one the top builders of the town)

<Getting ready for the interview
Time skipped>

Hukaymah to herself

"C'mon Hukaymah! Don't forget to grab the keys and to lock the door"

(After starting the car she stopped at a restaurant to have breakfast.)

Hukaymah: Waiter!

Waiter: Yes, Ma'am! What would you like to have?

Hukaymah: Bread, tea and omelette.

Waiter: Ok Ma'am, Your order will be here soon.

<Having Breakfast
Time skipped>

(Hukaymah was about to open the door of car and she heard the sounds of bullet shots and at once she saw a man holding a gun in his hands, sat on a bike and left ... At a moment there was a crowed gathered around the victim. She ran towards him and saw shots one on his heart and other on his forehead)

Surrounding Voice 1: Who's he?
Surrounding Voice 2: From where he came?
Surrounding Voice 3: Who shot him?

(Hukaymah called the ambulance and they took him to hospital. Hukaymah saw the time it was 15 mins to 8am. Her eyes widened and she left for her interview.. All the way she keep thinking and asking herself questions)

"How can anyone be so heartless? Who was the victim? How will he get to his family? Why he killed the old man?"

(Hukaymah reached her destination and cleared her mind and thoughts and reminded her that how important is the job for her)

<She went to reception>

Hukaymah: Excuse me! I'm here for the interview.

Receptionist: Your name?

Hukaymah: Hukaymah Akhtar.

Receptionist: Ok Ma'am! What here at the couches, I'll inform you when boss will arrive.

Hukaymah: Surely Sure!

Alyaar

(Alyaar woke up at 5am, removed the curtains and saw the stormy weather and slept again setting up the alarm at 8am just because he don't like to cancel plans and meeting because of weather. And he was having the business meeting with international visitors and was expecting a sunny morning.
And now at 8am his alarm goes off, as soon as he saw the weather, his mood became very bad)

<He got up gets ready
Time skipped>

(Without having breakfast he left for office)

Driver: Morning Sir!

Alyaar: Hmmm! Drive fast.

Drive: Sure boss!

<Time skipped>

(Directly went in his office and ring at the reception to send Hassan (P.A) in his office)

(Within 2 mins)

Hassan: Good Morning Boss!

Alyaar: Morning! What's the schedule for today?

Hassan: Sir, here you go!

Alyaar: And what about the interviews for the Social Media Manager?

Hassan: Sir we called 15 interviewees and only one came.

Alyaar: What was the time given to the interviewees?

Hassan: In the morning at 8am.

Alyaar: Call the one who came and reject others.

Hassan: Ok Boss.

(Meanwhile Alyaar's phone rang, he heard the call and he left in a hurry)

Alyaar: Take the interview and ask the interviewee to join from tomorrow and aslo that I like punctuality and explain other things, rules and regulations too and don't forget to get the contract signed.

Hassan: Sure boss.

Saying this Hassan thought why was he in such a hurry, he never compromised on his business related stuff
