Time To Conquer

ZERO

"Wow she was so direct." Axoser was totally jolted with her stern voice. What a curse,why is she a Muslim. Huh. Hell with her religion nonsense.

Sominal closed her eyes. Tears rolled, she knew her heart but she has to be strong. She wrapped her self in comforter. She knew Axoser thinks religions is not a big deal, but it was a way of life a path spread to walk on. Religion is the path,way of life for a Muslim. Islam is not just a religion, It is my destiny.

Axoser called his friend to arrange a car. Sominal would be left alone when he is out, he wanted a car to stand at their house. "She is going to keep a distance beside, she is so Muslim her God will take care of her." Axoser was not in a pleasant mood.

"Yeah, I don't know this girl Kim. Honestly If you could come here for company." Axoser had just one friend through out his life and that was Kim.

"Yeah that house with red roof and there is an archangel in the fountain of house. House#..."

"Sominal !" Axoser bewildered,totally jumped out when she snatched the phone and cut the call.

"why you snatched my phone.?" He scowled.

"you are giving others our location?"She was staring at him like killer bee.

"He already knew this place he is arranging another house for us. We have enough enemies to cope up with. Alas this is the time of my life I can't name any one my friend." Grief was hovering like shadows under his eyes.

"I can not trust any one Axoser." She was not satisfied.

"Trust me" Axoser held her shoulders. She jerked his hands off.

"Behave yourself." Axoser said in stern voice.

"Keep your hands away. She looked away. Axoser gazed at her. In the lights of flames her eyes were blazing attitude, her head stern, face uplifted held in front of flames. Her long skirt in peach colour. Her shirt in black. His eyes followed her head covered in black. The beads in her head scarf were shining in the light of fire flames. She was looking at the vacant wall.

"Queen"

He stared at her,as she maintained her gaze at the wall.

He left her standing in her poise. He knew, she will not be same. He knew that behind the mask of strong woman, she was sensitive and kind. Her blistering wounds can't be seen but she loved Lisa like a sister. She loves him too. He smiled jerked his head and went to his room.

"Hi Kim, I don't need the house. ......"

He lied his back on the comfortable chair. He smiled at her pose. Ah Sominal you rule the kingdom of my heart. What a co incidence you even behave like a queen and I am at zero. I can't leave her alone. My queen needs to be safe. Saving me is quite a chess for her. He stood again to find her.

She was sitting on the sofa. Her head rested on the sofa, closed eyes. He cleared his throat to wake her out of her thoughts.

Sominal opened her eyes. His eyes were reflecting honesty.

"I am sorry. I should have kept my reflex in check. Please don't worry, I have cancelled that house."

She looked at him for a moment.

"hmm. Thanks Axoser. It is quite a relief." She glanced at him at closed her eyes again. He raised his brows.

"Sominal."

She looked at him. He forwarded and asked, "may I sit here. If you please."

She corrected her pose again, looked at him attentively and gave him permission."Yes, please." He smiled, at her in his heart. In a soft tone and with his clear blue eyes he put all the gentleman manners in front of her.

"Sominal. You are not well, and I can't risk leaving you behind me. Lisa is taken. You are so touched with it. You are strong but still, I can't trust those evil worshipers...."

He waited to see her reaction, her eyes sparkling in flames, yet there lies sadness.

" I know you want to keep distance. I know that you are not comfortable with me but these times are extraordinary and grave. Please Sominal, we have to stay together and if I do something that you are not approved of, or if I do something that makes you sad,please don't detach yourself....."

He gasped, she nodded. A tear rolled from her eyes she looked at floor.

She couldn't utter the words. She knew the times are demanding compromise. She nodded.

The king calmed his queen and she left for her room to sleep.

Continued....

She was sleeping in the cosy room. She could trust her life with Axoser, that's what she knew. The strange kind of relation they have, when both of them had feelings for each other yet they can't get along. It is a complicated theory of attraction. Sominal tried to leave things flow she was not leaving her rules. She was sticking to them. Still she lost her mind, she couldn't keep his thoughts away from her mind. What if we get married? She was half awake and half dreaming. Suddenly her mind went blank, she saw she was in a room. The light was dim, there were few people in the room except that she saw a lady. She looked like a high class witch. As she was sitting on a chair like a throne. Every one else was sitting on floor with crossed legs. There were men and women.

"This girl is ungrateful to what was given to her. She has managed to escape from the mighty Castle. She has managed to escape that is not going to be her help. Neither her spirits could help." She smiled, cruelty was evident from her expression.

She waved her left hand in air, Sominal noticed she had a long wand like a walking stick. She also noticed a circle of smoke in air.

Every one in the room was looking down. She appeared to be of leading person. The black circling smoke started to burn, she heard horrible voices, like invisible people are being tortured. She covered her ears moving back.

She started the chanting louder and all the smoke turned to burning fire and vanished.

"Lisa.... You are a bait and a news of death, that girl couldn't save you now.... You are going to go away from this world.... Enjoy your last few breaths...these spirits of yours are now mine....Sominal bit her nails in anxiety, she saw the chair in the corner, she noticed that Lisa was on the chair, she looked thin, numb almost a corpse. She couldn't see her Cleary as there was very little light to see her expression.

A small weak voice came from her chest, "High priestess I believe on God, and Lucifer can't do any to make me come to him again.If you want to kill me go ahead."

"A man stood and slapped Lisa. You are a disgrace for a daughter...."

The man took a knife in his hand and lunged towards her he stabbed the knife in her thigh.

Lisa screamed. Sominal recited the 10 ayahs of Surah Kahaf with a pray in her mind to get Lisa out of there. The chair hauled in the air taking away Lisa from her cruel father. The ropes untangled fell on the ground and Lisa disappeared from the chair.

When Sominal found her near her bed. Bleeding nearly dying. Sominal shouted for Axoser. He came running looking lost, he was asleep too. He saw Lisa, he was bewildered and in shock that Sominal shouted to him. Get her to hospital she is dying..
