Ishq Fakiri

Sayonee (9)

Ab kya pata kya marzi hai

Kya kuch likha hai hone ko

Kaunsa haadsa aur hila de 

Kya kuch bacha hai khone ko..

Fariha's POV:

I turn around to go away but I again collided into someone. God!! I was scared would be an understatement now. I looked up to get another shock.

There in front of me stood Shehzad, with a blank expression on his face.

"Shehzad.. I... this.. I was.." I tried saying something but words weren't coming out. I have probably murdered someone and my brother saw me. I wanted to run from here but now it seems impossible. What will Shehzad do now?

And before I could think anything else, Shehzad held my hand and started walking. It's over now. I can't do anything now.

A few minutes later, here I stand in my room, all my efforts in vain.

"Don't even try escaping after this. Just stay in your room." He Said sternly, and went out. Two minutes later he came back, and without saying anything went near the window and pulled the dupatta rope up. He untangled all the dupattas, then folded them and put them in the cupboard. And without saying anything went.

**********************

I couldn't sleep the entire night. So many thoughts were running in my head. Is Sahir okay? Please as much as I want him to die, I don't want to be a murderer. God!!!

The next morning at 8 am, the door to my room finally opened and in came Maa. By her expressions, I could say that something was not right.

"Come down." She Said and went. Is Sahir back? Or did Shehzad Said everyone that i tried running and hit Sahir?

Anyways, I went down to see everyone gathered with serious expressions. Even Sahir's father was present. A knot formed in my stomach thinking of what had happened? I look around and found Shehzad staring at me with a blank expression. Did he tell them that I tried running?

"Fariha there's a bad news!" Maa Said which made me scared. "Sahir.. he is no more. Somebody murdered him last night"

My eyes widened hearing Maa's words. Sahir is dead. I killed him. I killed someone. I am a murderer, a fucking murderer. I killed him. No, I can't murder someone, no it was a mistake. But he is dead.

"Bakhtiyaar bhai, we are very sad to hear about Sahir. Sahir was going to become the son in law of this house, but God had some other plans. Don't worry we will find his murderer and punish him" Chachu Said and hugged him.

A few more minutes of condolences later, Bakhtiyaar Malik went. I was about to go in my room when I heard Chachi saying,

"Don't feel bad bhabhi but your daughter is such a bad omen. They were not even married and her bad luck killed that poor Sahir. Now who will marry her? Be ready to carry her burden all your life."

*****************

I am a murderer. MURDERER. God I didn't mean to kill him, I just wanted to escape from here. I killed a person. What will I do now? No, I can't live with the tag of a murderer. I'll tell everyone it was me who killed Sahir, let them give me whatever punishment they'll give me. Yes I'll tell them everything.

I was about to go out when Shehzad entered my room, and closed the door.

"Shehzad.." I couldn't say anything, tears started flowing down my face, and without thinking anything I just hugged him.
