She walked into the house, smiling. He had just dropped her home. She entered the living room and saw Kashaan sitting there.
"Oh hello Kashan," Hala said, smiling.
He smiled in return.
"Long time no see, what are you doing nowadays?" she asked, calmly and sat in the sofa.
'Well, nothing I just finished college,' he said.
"Whoa, I forgot, it was your convocation," she said.
"Well, you forgot so many things," he said smiling.
She smiled in return.
His gaze fell on her ring finger, she was wearing a diamond ring. His heart ached because he knew who gave this to her.
A thunder struck outside which meant the rain had started. The government predicted a storm for tonight.
"Whoa, it's cold," she said.
"Yeah, it's cold," he said in a very mysterious manner.
"Okay Kashan, I am leaving, I have to go as I am so tired," she said.
He smiled and she walked away.
"I wish, I could tell you how much I like you," he said.
*************
She had just done the Bacon's case and now she was all free, it was the middle of night.
"I think I should call Hala tonight," she thought.
She dialled Hala's number and after few rings she answered the calls.
"Hello Saliha, how are you?" she heard Hala's sweet voice.
"I am good Hala, how about you? How college is going?" she asked.
"Everything is great, we have an exam during coming week," said Hala, smiling.
Saliha sighed and there was a brief silent in between them. She took a deep breath.
"Hala, he is not a good guy," said Saliha.
There was a silence from Hala's side. At first Saliha thought the line was disconnected but then she heard Hala's breathing.
"Saliha, I think Hunza called you and tell you about my relationship with Atta. Am I right?" she asked.
"Hala, you are not understanding..." Saliha tried to say something but Hunza abrupts her in the middle.
"Listen, I don't have anything to do what you guys think about this. "I love him, and he is the perfect guy for me. I would be very happy if you all accepted it," Hala said, without much emotion.
Saliha took a deep breath. She felt angry and tried to calm herself. Hala was acting foolishly, and Saliha has always saw her as a younger sister.
"Hala, he tried to...." she was about complete her sentence when Saliha's door knocked. She looked at the clock, it was 12:00 in the night.
"Hala, please be on line, I am going to answer the door," she said and walked towards the door.
She opened the door, and it was Kristen.
"What do you want?" she asked him.
"I am here to warn you, stay away from Natty's case," he said while looking inside her eyes.
"Excuse me, who are you tell me what to do or what no to do?" she asked, annoyed.
"Don't get on my nerves and stay away from his case," he said raising his finger in front of her nose.
Saliha rolled her eyes.
"I will take that case Kristen, and you have no rights to stop me," she said and was about to shut the door when he pushed the door against her with his right hand. He was looking inside her eyes and his green eyes were all angry.
She felt a strange deja vu and two blue eyes appeared on the screen of her mind.
"Don't moke me, Saliha," he said and for the first time she heard her name from his mouth.
She was holding phone near to her ear.
"Who is it, Saliha?" asked Hala.
"No one, just a messer," she said.
He clenched his teeth and push the door and she lost her balance and was about to fall when he held her on time. She accidentally pushed the loud speaker button.
"What the hell are you doing?" she asked, clenching her teeth.
He was looking inside her eyes when they heard gunshot from the phone making her startled.
She heard Hala's scream.
"Hello, Hala, are you okay?" she asked, worried.
"Saliha, I am scared, something, happened," she said, worried.
"Hala, relax, stay on phone, lock the door. Let me call Ehsan," said Saliha.
"Ehsan is not home, he left for foreign," said Hala, crying.
"Shit," said Saliha.
She walked towards the landline and started dialing Hunza's number but it was unreachable.
Just then the door shut and she turned to look Kristen left.
She was unable to understand what to do.
*****************
"Hala, stay on phone," she heard Saliha's voice but she was unable to move. She was feeling panic. This whole situation was leading her to the past where she saw her mother's dead body.
She was in trance.
"Hello, Hala? Hello?" Saliha was continuously calling her but she was unable to hear her. She walked towards the door and put her hand on the knob. With a click the door opened and she walked down.
She heard someone quarrelling but she could not understand what they were saying. She walked down and the very next thing she saw was enough to make her go faint.
Kashan was holding gun in his hand and her step mother was dropped dead on the floor. She screamed and after that she lost her conscious.
************
"Hala? Hala?" Saliha screamed but the line was disconnected. Saliha's heart was rushing so fast. She was all alone in this situation. She rushed towards her stuff and grabbed some important things and walked out of her room.
It was 12:30 in the night and she decide to travel back to city. She was almost near the exit door when someone grabbed her hand.
She turned in rush to look who is it. It was Kristen.
"Let me go," she said angrily.
"Where are you going?" he asked, calmly. She was unable to understand why he was always so calm.
"None of your business. Let me go," she said trying to set herself free but he had strong grip.
Her eyes filled with tears. She was unable to understand how she will reach the city. All she wanted to do was reaching city as soon as possible. She always saw Hala as her younger sister.
