13. TRIAL

Eman, yamna, Aana, and Alizay all were enjoying their farewell party.

Unintentionally Eman took a glimpse of her surrounding and she saw zarlish with Hamda.

Eman could feel her heart begin to sink, but she pretended to be happy and cheerful because she must have been blind.

Yamna noticed her restlessness,

Yamna asked, "Why are you looking to them? You know zarlish?"

She straightened her back and looked away.

"Farhan wants to marry her," Eman replied.

Yamna surprisingly answered, " I am disappointed that he wants to marry her, she is so arrogant and ..."

Eman cut her in mid-sentence.

And said, "Actually, it's fate ."

She felt every muscle in her body freeze, but this state lasted only for a fraction of a second.

Yamna questioned, "Are you inspired by her?"

Eman helplessly replied, "Because I can't be jealous."

She smiled slightly.

And continued again,

"There would be something in her so that he chose her for himself as a life partner. If I knew she would be here, I never would've come with you."

Hamda and zarlish came over to them, making Eman grew very quite.

A coloured came and then passed at Eman's face. It was that part of her life, even just zarlish's introduction was enough to dim her colour.

Eman's blood froze and she felt weak and faint. She was forced to lean against a tree for support. Her heart was beating madly as she stood there motionless. It was as if she had been turned to stone.

She was sick with worry. Her thoughts causing her immense pain. It was like a worm eating away at the centre of her heart.

Then she came back to the room...

That night was filled with misery for her. The cold stars seemed to laugh at her. The bare trees waved their branches above her. Now and then the sweet voice of a bird echoed in the silence. All the creatures except her were asleep and happy.

She felt as if she were trapped forever in the burning fire of hell. She wanted to destroy the world. She wanted to crush it or to choke it to death with her hands. In despair and exhaustion, she fell asleep.

Next morning,

As the sun rose, she felt as if she had acted like a fool.

These thoughts made her feel calmer, leading to a deep sleep that afternoon.

The fever in her blood didn't allow her to enjoy her dreams. When she woke, she was deep in thought.

The moon rose out of the sky and a fierce wind blew from the direction of woods. The clouds were being swept across the sky at great speed. The strength of the wind was a powerful as a mighty avalanche, and her mind was filled with a terrible madness. She stood at the gallery to enjoy nature or to divert her mind.

Eman asked, "Yamna give me lecture notes of Prof. Azhar."

Yamna gave her a notebook.
