On Edge Of The Knife

Chapter #23: Imprisoned in Purgatory

Farhan couldn't sleep that night. He smoked pots,sniffed powder and drank wine. He had done total destruction to his body. He thought that he had no reason to live now. Thousand of thoughts were storming him whole night until the sun rose after that night full of sorrows and regrets.

He freshened up himself and wore quilted silk dark blue gown and climbed down those curled stairs. The villa was completly decorated. Few of the guests had already arrived whispering and judging.

He saw Di Vinci and Edgar at the entrance of the villa greeting the guests. He approached them.

"How was the night??" Di Vinci asked him as his sight caught him.

"Pretty rough I guess!"

"How am I looking" Edgar inquired him.

Edgar was quite attracted to him. Edgar had a friendly personality and thought that they could be good friends one day. Edgar considered him the most groomed and intelligent of all the others.

"Quite catchy I guess" he answered Edgar in a dizzy and stone voice.

Both son and father chuckled.

"Are you drunk my boy??" He questioned Farhan.

"I had several drinks last night, must be the hangover"

Di Vinci phone rang. He excused them and walked away.

"I am quite excited for her" Edgar told him as he was desperate to see her. He had love at first sight. He never wanted to marry after his mother death but:

Every men desiresto possess a beautiful thing or pretty lady.

"Have you met her before??" Farhan inquired him curiously.

"Once!!! Few days ago. She loves reading books. I think we have many things in common"

"Do you even know her well" Farhan gibed at him.

"Yes!! I mean I will. You know when we will spend sometime together!!" He answered him as he was also greeting the guests entering the villa.

"Will she live among us??"

"Never!! I will take her as  far away as possible. You know I want to keep her safe and secure from this violence, enmity and impure souls" Edgar told him.

He never meant to mention him. He did it unintentionally but it hurt Farhan feelings.

It was the bitter truth of such life and unluckily he was part of it.

Farhan statted staring at him while he was busy greeting the guests. Edgar never thought that his words would pierce his heart and shatters his feelings into bits and pieces.

Farhan excused him with puppy eyes.

"I better check the arrangements"

"Yes Ofcourse, after all you are honored for the protection of our family after Definate"

Farhan was a puppet to them. He had nothing else in his life other than to make them secure and comfortable.

He entered the family with high morale and esteem and enjoyed it a lot at first but now he was regretful but it was too late now.

Kathy was with her. Kathy was doing the final makeup. She was sitting in front of a huge mirror while Kathy was brushing her hairs and preparing her as a bride.
