Hate Thy Neighbor (A Palestinian's fight against the world)

5 Coffee for dogs

Exhausted, I entered the house.

"Click" as soon as I enter I felt the gun on my head.

"Scream and I will blow your head" the man said in the dark. Am I scared? Yes. But do I think anyone will get away with just harming me? Nope. That is why I pride myself. Alhamdulillah, I have brains.

"I am not going to scream" I said and immediately the lights came in blinding me for a second. When my eyes got adjusted, I saw him.

Seated on my sofa, casually as I have invited him, Brad was looking more relaxed. He is not going to harm me, yet. He was wearing a black suit, light purple shirt and a dark purple tie. If I didn't know what sort of an animal he is, and if he hadn't raped me, I am sure I would have got affected by his extreme good looks.

"Nice to see you Brad after what, you raped me and left me to die. I am so glad you made yourself at home" I said sarcastically while they guy with the gun push the gun to my head harder.

"Yes, it is nice. After all I came to finish off what I couldn't years back" he said in his sadist voice.

"Okay, now before hell break loose, let me tell you, I have 4 cameras in the house. Currently two recording are made and two different locations. All you pretty faces have been covered and I tell you, with the lovely files I have, my friends will send a recording to press if I am to come to any harm. So shall we just drop this formalities" I said arrogantly.

"You bitch. Don't lie to me. I want you to remove the bug you have placed in my company software and then delete all the files you have taken. I promise you if you do so without any trouble I will kill you almost painlessly"

"See, that's the problem. I am going to give you a secure youtube channel which you can review and see as you speak this is been telecasted. Not broadcasted, mind you. But I have given people enough access so, if you so much as care for your petty , worthless lives, you will listen to me" I told him.

He came to me and slap me on the face.

"You dog, you will pay for this"

I call my self a genius not out of arrogance but because I am one. My watch is connected to my mobile, which has a speed dial. The speed dial is Rumi's number. I have told him I need his help but didn't tell him what to expect. His instructions are to call the home phone, ask if I am okay and should the video and files to be release to media. Initially he didn't agree without knowing what I am up to. But once I promised him, I not up to anything, he said he will oblige.

So, my landline rang.

"I told you, you pathetic dog" I told Brad with full of venom and hate.

"No one answer the phone" he said and I laughed.

"That is my friend calling. If I don't answer, within few minutes all your details will be sent to media outlets. Especially your plans to ethnic cleanse Palestinians and steal their land. What do you call it? project Zeus. Imagine all the names it has" I said smiling. My face still stung by his slap. Brad seem to have sensed something. And he motioned me to answer the call.

"Make a scene and you will die" and he put the phone on speaker.

"Are you okay? Am I to broadcast the video?" Rumi asked very lazily as it pained him to speak. I was praying that he would pull it out or I am dead.

"I am okay but keep watch the video. If anyone as much as touch a hair of mine, release all the documents" I saw everyone in the room going very still. And I saw Brads face. It was while as a paper. And he was shaking with anger. I hung up and walked like a queen about my house.

"Check the house and remove all the cameras. Trace who called and do what is necessary" Brad gave orders, which made me laugh. I am not that stupid to get Rumi in trouble. I have made arrangement for that as well.

"Now if you'd don't mind, take the gun away from me please. I am going to open my computer and show you dogs that I am not bluffing" and I showed them the live streaming of what is happening. Everyone went quite still.

Brad was standing right beside me.

"So what was I saying?" I turned and slapped him as hard as I could. I saw him flinch, then reflex his muscles and giving me a murderous look.

"I swear to God, you will pay for that with your life" he said threatening.

"Yes, now that is out of the way, I am thirsty. While I get my coffee, we can discuss business" I said. No one spoke.

I went to my coffee machine. I am shaking life a leaf but the moment they see my weakness, I am dead. I didn't work this far to die in vain.

"What do you want?" Brad asked in a cold voice.

"Any of you dogs need coffee" I asked arrogantly. Palestinians are called all sorts of names over the years and it feels actually nice to call these rapists and murderers as dog for one thing.

Brads men about 10 of them started searching for the camera. Others calling around trying to trace the call. They are turning my house upside down.

"Excuse me you Zionist dogs, if you mess my house, you clean it before you go" I said from the kitchen counter unaffected.

Brad silently watched me. I saw some amusement in his eyes. What? What must he be thinking.

"So, you want to play games, ha?" he asked.

"No, but I am finishing the game your started, you rapist" I said. I saw something cross his eyes when I said "rapist". Bingo.

With my coffee I walked to the table and sat.

"Chill low lives. Everything is under control. Now Brad, we have business to talk. Shall we?" I asked sipping my coffee.

"What do you want?" he asked with control anger.

"Why, I want what is mine. I want my country, my house which you stole to build that luxury resort, I want everything that is mine. Also I want you out of everything that isn't your, including Jerusalem" I told him.

With every word I spoke, I saw him blanch. To say I don't know what I was saying is understatement. I know Brad cant single handedly do it. But this will lead to something. At least I can keep these dogs from killing my people for at least a little while.

"You are delusional" he said.

"Maybe but deluded we were when we extended our hospitality to you low lives and now being kicked out of our own homes. My terms are on the table"

"You will not get a single request of yours bitch"

"Maybe not, but then I take everyone down with me. Isn't revenge the greatest feeling ever, rapist?" I asked him and again, the word made an impact.

"We can talk" after a long pause he said.

"Now that is what I was hoping you'd say. But I am too tired to talk now. Let's say we will meet this weekend at a public place and talk" I said yawning. Everyone looked as I was mad.

Brad seems to have lost of options. He never expected me to have taken his off guard. He would have never expected me to be so prepared.

"And you will not release any item to press or publish it?" he asked me suspiciously.

"I have better plans" I said directly looking at his eyes.

"I will call you. We will meet next Friday. But mind this Hayah, it is a matter of time before I kill you myself" he said dangerously.

"Oh I don't doubt it for once Brad. I don't doubt it for once. But what is different this time is, I am taking you down with me" I told him in my most sweet voice, before everyone left my house.

Brad looked one more time before he went straight in to my eyes and smiled.
