The Indecent Proposal.

15__ "I did"

Rohaan, attacked my jaw, as I stumbled back, blood rushed through my face. That's why I hated her. That good for nothing girl, couldn't keep her mouth shut and let us suffer. Muskaan Tayyab Ali and her whole family was a piece of shit. Rohaan again grabbed me, but I punched his chest, feeling the crack of ribs. He flew on the front of his car.
I turned to see Hamza with a gun in his hands.

"Hamza drop it!!! Don't " Before I could say anything he shot, the bullet went right throw. Rohaan's chest.
Hamza stood, froze there, shocked and numb looking at the mess he did created.His hands shook vigorously, he was disgusted and scared. He looked like me.

I rushed to hug him, to embrace him. It took him minutes, to hug me back. I don't want him to end up like me. He won't suffer like I did, he isn't goona lose anything. The police sirens ecoed around and I slipped the gun from his hand to mine.

"Who shot the victim.?" They interrogated to Zafar.

"I did." I declared, as Hamza held me tightly. I glared him to shut up.

I don't have to marry that girl now. Hamza can have her, Tayyab Ali will never afford to risk his reputation like that. He will do anything for that deal and to get rid of her daughter.

I opened my eyes and looked at the lock up. Years back,I begged people to protect me, to not let me be here and now I consciously came inside with my own will. Today our family lawyer came to meet. We sat in a room, across a table.

"What happened."
The same lawyer came to me four years back and asked the same question.

" I shot Rohaan Tayyab Ali."

"You fiance brother. Why? " He asked.
"It was a self defence, he tried to kill my brother. I killed him"

Truth. Izad Shah said the true after years. Well it wasn't accurate, it had some mixed lies in it. But it is the most truthful I had been in years.I was a man covered in lies, and I maybe buried with them. I loved to decieve my personality, too ugly to face myself, so I wear the masks that let me survive.
I couldn't distinguish between my true and false now.

Every time I gets out if his room, telling mom, I'm fine.

Telling my brother that I'm happy and sorted. Once Hamza told me that he wants to be like me and My heart stopped. He wasn't like me. He shouldn't be like me.

Making zafar believe that I have moved on and left drugs. I still take them occasionally when I have nothing to do and she occupy my mind, to the point that it start to hurt.
My bearings made me stronger. But I reached the peak of the moutain and now I'm falling back, I'm no longer being strong.

"That's all for today I'll leave. " the lawyer said, button up his black suit and left. I stood and walked towards ny locker by a brawny police man.

She never called me. She never contacted me. I lied to Fatima that she hadn't moved on, truth is I don't want her to move on. I called her cuz I wanted to see her.
My thoughts broke as I reached my locker, that was dipped in black, no windows just a small hole in the wall through which a ray of light came.
She was my light, just like that.
My nerves relaxed as I joined the darkness and inhaled the dusty smell.

'I wish I had came here sooner.'
