The Lifelong Death

23|| A phone call

Alizeh, that's a terrible lie. I know you hate me. I know that giving justice is nearly not even half the reason you gave me the offer. You want me to suffer. You want me to jail.

Then, so be it. I don't have any reason to enjoy life anyways.

"Call Haroon Malik tomorrow, tell him I am ready to surrender", I said and left, slamming the door.

{ AMIR'S POV }

The whole day passed away while I sat on my couch stopping my tears.

She hates me.

She hates me.

She really really hates me.

All I could think about was her hatred filled eyes, her offer for me to go to jail.

And the night passed away, while I hoped something better would come tomorrow. But it only was to become worse.

I went into her room and directly told her to call her parents. That's what she wanted anyways.

{ ALIZEH'S POV }

The day passed like the blink of an eye. Not once, had Amir came in and checked on me. He was really mad wasn't he?

I fell asleep and the night passed away, while I hoped the new day would bring happiness in my life. But, the exact opposite was to happen.

While light peaked through the small window in the room, Amir came in with his phone on one hand while wearing a black suit with a red tie. He had his hair combed. He applied the same perfume as what he used to apply when he wore a mask. He looked like he became the arrogant, Amir Mirza, overnight.

This guy was seriously impossible to understand.

"Here you go... call them", was the first thing he said. No salam, no hello, no good morning. Straight to the point.

"Walaikumsalaam Amir... okay I will", I said with a witty tone.

He looked at me with eyes filled with anger and a guilt. Frightened, I quickly dialed baba's number. His phone number was something I would never forget.

I bit my lower lip in nervousness as I heard the call ringing. And he picked up.

"Hello"

"Hello Baba, it's me Alizeh"

"Alizeh, my beta... where are you. I have missed you so much. Did you escape? Did they hurt you? Alizeh Alizeh Alizeh where are you?"

"Baba I missed you too. Before you say anything, my kidnapper wants to surrender himself. He is the son of Jahangir Mirza who you suspected and k-killed thinking he was a terrorist. Baba no time for being emotional now! Just come to Lucknow, India", I said and cut off. I knew he would ask millions of questions so I cut it off.

And then baba called back. I looked at Amir and answered it as I saw him nod.

"Baba I told you, no time for questions-"

"Alizeh, your mother, Laiba is in coma, she had acute stress disorder... it's not very likely that she will live. She yearns to listen to your voice", he said and started crying.

She is in coma?

The phone fell off my hand as my knees fell to the ground.

One year passed and I had no idea how my ammi was. She yearned to listen to my voice. Amir what have you done?

"Ammi is in coma, it's unlikely for her to live", was all I said as I felt tears run down my cheeks. It felt as though my whole world had collapsed. There was no reason for me to live.

It's not very likely that she will live.

It's not very likely that she will live.

It's not very likely that she will live.

It's not very likely that she will live.

Baba's voice kept exploding in my head. I screamed loudly as my head started hurting.

"Ammmiiiiiiiiiiiiii"

And that's when I felt a hand holding mine.

"Calm down Alizeh... calm down", he said as he looked at me in the eye.

"Fucking leave me you monster!", I said and took my hand out of his grip. I immediately regretted my words. Never had I ever sworn or used bad words in my life.

"I won't leave! You need to calm down. I don't care if I am a monster, you need me right now", he said.

He was right. I needed help badly right now.

"Allah is there, he will protect her, don't worry", he said.

He got me a glass of water and I tried to calm down.

"Baba is coming soon to arrest you", I said and got up. I was happy, in fact very happy about my selfish decision. I was regretting it for all this time, but now I think I had taken the best decision.

In between my grudge for Amir, I had completely forgotten what he had done for me. How he had saved my life. How he consoled me. How he looked after me. All I could think of was his faults. Like they say, you only look at their faults and ignore their good deeds.

Amir left once he realized that I had calmed down.
