Vengeance

10. Let's get busy

Easier said than done!

Trying to be David was not easy. It was a gargantuan task to even be anywhere close to the way he thinks. Well, like Saadi used to say," Have patience, All things are difficult before they become easy" Well, that really helped motivate me a lot because I could really use some wise thoughts any moment.

I thought and I thought and I thought until I found out the solution! The perfect way to start thinking like him and thinking about the only possible thing he might have been thinking before the accident. By telling myself that I too, am a Muslim (which isn't a lie) but like a catholic girl and previously liked a Christian girl too.

Surprisingly, that worked; at least for me it did. I was not a hundred percent sure whether or not I was on the right track but I had a gut feeling that I might just arrive on a conclusion different from what I was on at the moment.

I locked myself in my room, placed my phone on Do Not Disturb mode and started my work. Very soon, I was engulfed in my own thoughts. But of course they were not literally my thought. It was David's thought figuratively. So after a good one hour, I finally settled down and I was in the "David" mood. It all began very smoothly.

Trying to think like him was sure was though but i managed to get in to character with ease just soon after a while. This went on for a while. Maybe like fifteen minutes. The room was deadly silenced and there not even the faintest of noises present.

As i was saying, this whole thing only lasted about 15 minutes when I got fully engrossed in the character of David himself.

Thinking was easy but still going through did not accomplish that much. Although I figured out one thing that I didn't earlier.

Emotions!

Emotions that David might have felt during the whole accident. How his emotions turned from happy and excited and delighted to how it changed in the blink of the eye to how he ended up in hospital without the success that he was hoping for that particular day.

I felt sad and I was very disheartened at the chain of events that have been going on for the past couple of days. My parents had all gone overseas and were due for arrival in another weeks time.

Thinking like David had allowed me to experience first hand what he felt. It was such a daunting experience. Considering the fact that I feel so daunted just by sitting at home, I was really able to understand how he must have felt when the whole accident had happened.

I could almost visualize the whole chain of events as if I was seeing in a movie. Why wouldn't I be able to do that? After seeing the evidence and going through them multiple times, everything must have latched onto my mind somehow.

Just then I saw something in my mind.

A question actually. I heard myself asking," why did the accident happen on the same day as the day he was going to propose to Suzanne? Did she have a hand on whatever had happened?"

What if it was Suzanne?

I personally was very shocked that I was having such a thought but nevertheless I was right too many times and decided it was probably going to be an important finding so I wrote down on a piece of paper and kept it with the timeline.

Just then, the doorbell rang and I was brought back to reality. As I was walking to fetch the door open, all I could think about was whether or not Suzanne was involved. I started to have this serious doubt in my mind but chose not to tell anyone.

Not just yet...
