Two faced

Chp 6

What happened?" he asked me and I nodded slowly.

"My mother and father had been married for five to six years though it wasn't a successful marriage," I took a pause and raised my gaze to meet his eyes, staring into mine softly.

"I was their first child, the moment I opened my eyes to the world, I was welcomed with nothing but their quarrels, them cursing each other," I stopped for a second and gulped down the whole glass of water in front of me.

He was still looking at me wearing a plain yet soothing expression.

"They were also very abusive towards eachother...." I kept speaking with my eyes directed to the tiled floor in which I could see my reflection but I was cut by him in between.

"That's it for today." he said while noting something on the same notepad. I was looking at him in utter confusion as he stood up and walked towards the water cooler and got me another glass of cold water.

"Thankyou." I replied while drinking it.

"We are done for today." he told me as he sat on the chair beside mine.

"Then?" I asked.

"Time for some homework." he playfully announced to me.

"Homework?" I asked him laughingly.

"Yup. So your homework for next three days is, spend some time with your brother, Haider right?" he said.

"Yes Haider." I replied.
"Yeah so spend time with him, talk to him, play with him.." he started but stopped as I started to laugh.

"Play what? Fifa?" I asked hilariously and he laughed too.

"Well it's actually not a bad idea. Play Fifa, have some fun with him, whatever you want to do, do it but make sure you spend quality time with him." he prescribed me.

"Okay." I replied like a obedient child obeying her teacher.

"See you after three days for the next session, I also mentioned it in your file." he told me handing me the file.

"Thankyou so much." I thanked him while standing up, and he followed me.

"It's okay. Take care." he ushered me to the door and bidded me good bye.

"See you doctor." I said while closing the door and he smiled.

"You too." he replied while still standing at the door.

The very next day, it was quite a windy day and it looked like it would rain any moment. The sun was about to set towards the west and the sky was covered in flocks of birds flying in different directions. Beneath all this a lady dressed in black pants, red chiffon thigh length top and a round scarf around her fragile neck. Her umbre hair were clipped at the back of her head except few strands fixed behind her right ear.

She was walking on the busy street, drowned in her own fantasy world as she energetically walked across the street.

In her hands she was holding a phone with landscape view while ear phones were plugged into her ears as she viewed a video clip on her phone. She kept on glancing the screen simultaneously walking but then she stopped suddenly as if she was taken by the clip on her phone with extreme levels of shock. She paused her pace and stood there with her eyes looking into the phone screen with hundred percent of her concentration.


PHONE

"A few months back an official from The National firm was murdered at late hour of the night. Such an incident has not been observed in previous about eight to nine months. Despite the fact the agencies are working hard, investigating the murder but still have found no success at all.
As per the reports the CCTV cameras were already disabled and the security guards were found unconscious at the scene. The authorities also reported the possible murder weapon being missing too.

The foresnsics confirmed a dagger or knife could be the possible murder weapon as examined by the wound. They also informed that no specific finger prints were found on the scene but the authorities without doubt claimed, that there seem to be some personal or professional reason behind the murder.
Agencies doubt that the murder has been committed by a hot headed person because the laceration of the wound, defies that the wound was meant to not only kill the person but to torture the victim aswell.

Until now no further progress is done on the case. The investigations for the case has been passed onto the senior officials and are still ongoing, hopefully to find the murderer really soon"

PHONE

She smirked wickedly as she switched off her phone screen and slipped it into her pocket.

"Perfection personified" she whispered to herself with a proud smile glistering on her face while taking another huge and confident step ahead.

It was almost late afternoon and Maria was back from her university an hour ago. As usual she had her lunch with Haider and Naima after Haider came back from college while Naima took an early leave from work.

After having delicious food and joyful and healthy conversation with her family, she came to her room as she was tired and prefered to take a small power nap before she could work on her assignments.

She was tirelessly hunting her cupboard for her comfy shirt with bored expression on her face when something unusual touched her hand.

Maria POV

Where is my new shirt? I can't ever find anything in this stupid cupboard.

"Ah.." I let out a low roar in surprise when I felt something unusual touching my hand which was dug deep into bunch of clothes lying in my cupboard.

I felt something like metal touched my hand, it was cold as ice, hard and rigid as rock and it seemed like of a very precise shape. I curiously pulled it out to uncover the mystery. I finally had in held in pale palm of my right hand, staring at it questioningly.

As my gaze observed the metal object, my eyes were left wide open in shock. It was a huge brutal dagger!

Who's is this? And how did it came here?

Few questions like this emerged in my head as I focused to think about it. It was a knife or a dagger, probably a sharp one with a black brown handle. The knife had a lot of scratches on it's sharp edge such that it had been used previously, quite brutally.

Just then a painful and intense pain started in my head as if it would crush my skull into a billion pieces, any moment. I involuntarily threw that knife in the cupboard while clutching my head tightly in my palms, I rushed myself to my bed and fell onto it.

'There is only one kind of shock worse than the totally unexpected: the expected for which one has refused to prepare.'
