The Night Of Separation

[12]

T H E woman (Eria) turns to look at her gasping in shock when she finds her standing in a little distance. While her husband pushes the girl away from him looking at her guilty. But her eyes cold, hard and calculating remains on Eria who was her worse nightmare.

A reason to many of her sufferings.

"Y-You- What are you doing here?". Eria screeched losing her mind at the mere sight of her, "How are you alive?. You can't be. This is not true".

She chuckles a dead chuckle that shakes the three people standing in front of her. The laughter so cold and dark that could shake anyone existence.

"Surprise". She said smiling darkly as she looks at her pale face stepping closer

"You were dead. You died. You weren't supposed to live. How are you alive?". Eria shouted wanting to know answers

She takes threatening steps towards Eria lowering down to meet her scared eyes and her own eyes reflecting only coldness.

She tilts her head looking at her maniacal, "How does it feel to find a woman on whose grave you placed those flowers at, to be standing alive in front of your eyes?".

The coldness that gushes through her words in the dead silence had them shaken and both the men stayed routed not being able to bring a word out of their mouth watching the whole scene unfold. They were shocked and taken back by the turn of events and usually, our mind needs time to digest such big information.

"I saw you- I saw yo-u- y-ou-". Eria stutters

She smirks the kind of smirk that shake Eria to her core, "You saw me dying?".

Eria nodded meekly scared out of her wits as all her doing starts to appears in front of her eyes. She prolonged the silence unnecessary enjoying the suffering she is providing Eria with. The patience that was running on the edge for her and the need to know everything made her feel good.

"What is she doing here?". Eria shouted looking at the two men who looks confused

However, she leans on the wall behind her waiting for someone to drop the bomb on Eria so she can enjoy this show.

"She is my wife- Caira and this is-". He started to explain despite the thick tension that surronds them

Before he could introduce his wife to the monster of her life she raises her hand cutting him off as she glare at Eria, "Get out of here. Right now".

Eria understands the situation enough to know she is not getting answers and the shock of the revelation added to her misery so she quickly went out of the house.

"Why was that woman in this house?". She snarled as her anger starts to take over all her senses

She has seen how lethal anger can be to a human and how much damage it can lead to however she has learned that anger is the emotion that some use to their benefit. The tone, posture and the eyes that held nothing but deep fury can have anyone cowed back in nothing but fear. In order to build fear, we need something as strong against it and what can be better than anger.

"She is my childhood friend". Rayyan explained watching how deadly she looks at the moment

Her frosty eyes look at him detached from any human emotions as he feels chills running down his spine and in these past months he had forgotten the woman he had met for the first time and those encounters with her perhaps because he chooses to look past them to her however they were a part of her. They were within her and are just a trigger away.

"I. Don't. Ever. Want. That. Woman. In. My. House. Am I clear?". She said penetrating

He nodded hurriedly not wanting to have her anymore angry even though he doesn't understand the reasons, the way Eria reacted to her and her words of her being dead wasn't a metaphor, it was a hidden fact that she seems to be speaking of. Just like Laith, Eria was a lawyer but she graduated before him because Laith was a low on finance and Eria was able to reach very high- too soon.
