Humsafar (short stories)

Junoon

"Come Wafa we have to go somewhere"
Salar said holding her arms

"Where and where have you been? What about Ghazi and Zarrar?"
Wafa asked all the questions in one breath

"Bushra"
He shouted and a maid came running inside

"Take care of Ghazi and Zarrar till we come back"
He ordered

Salar started pulling Wafa with him to the car. It's been fifteen minutes, in the car but he was still silent

"Where are we going Salar?"
She asked scaredly but he still stayed silent

Salar dropped the car in front of an old building and took Wafa with him inside. The next scene made Wafa tremble in fear. All of her professors and class fellows were tied and guards were pointing guns at their head

"Ahh"
Wafa screamed and turned to get hit by Salar's chest

"Salar what's all of this? Let them go"
She said between tears

"I can't until they are punished"
He said sternly

Salar held her hand and took her near Professor Zahid who was beaten badly by Salar. He eyed his guard and the next second guard handled the gun to Salar. Wafa's eyes popped out seeing all of this
"N no S Salar"
She stuttered

Salar paid no attention and put the gun in Wafa's hand and put her finger on the trigger. He put his hands on Wafa's shivering hands and his finger on her finger. Wafa was too stunned to say something

Salar pushed the trigger with an ear-piercing scream

Professor Zahid shouted as both of his legs were shot. Everyone in the room started crying

"Ahh ahh ahh"
Wafa started screaming with tears rolling down her eyes but Salar didn't leave her

In the next second two more shots were heard in the room

Everybody covered their ears with shivering hands

Professor Zahid screamed as both of his arms were shot. Tears were rolling down his eyes. His clothes were covered by the blood

"Ahhhh nahi please please nahi. Allah ka wasta. Allah k ka wasta yeh n na k karein. Main m mar jau gi"
Wafa started screaming

(Ahh no, please, please no. For God's sake. For God s sake, d don't do t this. I will d die)

"Why would you die huh? Why would you die? He is the one who should die and you're the one who is supposed to do it. He's a molester, a rapist, and a rapist can never be forgiven according to Islamic laws. He should be given a painful death that to in front of everyone that's what I am doing Wafa Salar Khan"
Salar shouted at the top of his voice

"I know he did wrong but let him go, please. H he d didn't rape me I promise"
She begged while joining her hands in front of him

"He did rape a girl. He did rape an innocent girl who commit suicide because of this bas****. And even if he wasn't the rapist I would have still done the same. Because this freaking bas****  tried to touch you. He tried to touch my wife."
He screamed looking at crying Wafa

"Call Mohsin inside"
He ordered the guard

The guard brought an old man inside who started walking toward Salar. Mohsin's back was facing Professor Zahid

"Yes sir, you called me"
He said while looking down

"You know your daughter would be so happy today"
He said placing his hands on the man's shoulder
