On Edge Of The Knife

Chapter #27: All for Love, My Dear!!!

It was a rainy day. Everyone was inside their homes as it was extreme cold and streets and roads were empty filled with water.

Simon was sitting on a bench in a park wearing black round hat. He was holding an umbrella and wearing long boots. It was drizzling and foggy.

Farhan sat next to him wet from top to bottom.

Simon didn't looked at him.

"Why have you come here?" Simon asked him softly.

He looked at Simon completely broken. Simon didn't even bothered to look at him. He looked calm.

"Do you know what he wished before his death?"

Farhan couldn't speak to him but his eyes were like he wanted to know.

"He wanted to meet you. He would ask me daily: Where is my brother? Why is he not with us? He wanted your presence but you were never there."

He closed his eyes slowly in regrets and took a long breath. His hairs and clothes were completly wet.

"He was innocent like a baby"

"I am sorry!! Ì have lost so many people, What should I do? I am so lost" he cried.

"Just leave me alone!! I don't want to see your face. My wife is dead because of you" Simon answered emotionally.

"How many more innocent people must die because of you. You didn't even spare your loved ones. You have lost eveeerthing you ever had" Simon answered him angrily.

"You have cursed yourself!!"

"I am in pain. I know I chose the wrong path and I am regretful at that?" He confessed.

"Does it matters now?"

"I will avenge him at any cost even if I have to die for it!" Fire of vengeance was burning inside him.

"Who are we to punish or blame someone. And if it is then I should kill you now, you are the reason my wife is dead" Simon was red with anger.

"But I won't because I believe she is watching me from up there" he pointed his finger at the sky.

"And she will be hurt if I will avenge you because it is not the way of the world. I leave this on the creator who is most Just than anyother"

arhan was shocked to see his patience. He couldn't speak to him instead he just listened to him carefully.

"Do you ever loved you parents?" Simon asked him while turning to him and was as patient as an oyster.

He just shook his head like a child.

"Don't you think they are watching what you are doing in this world. Son!! This was never the aim of your life trust me!" He placed his hand on his shoulder.
