Chapter #13: CONSCIENCE

It was a beautiful sunrise after that horrible night. Police had investigated the scene. They had marked the area where the body was lying with a white outline.

Blood was cleaned and house was sealed.

"Where are the boys Sir" the constable asked Simon. They were in Simon's house the whole night.

"Should I wake them up for you" Simon asked the constable.

"No it's not necessary. They had a horrible night just checkout on them" constable asked him for his confirmation as youth is the age when lads are emotional and can be expected everything from them.

Constable and Simon were talking at his doorsteps. Police vehicles were there the whole night. They had taken away the body. Those yellow stripes surrounds the house to prevent any entry in the house as it was a crime scene.

Police investigating the crime scene had acquired the bullet cartridge and the doctors had tookout the bullet from her skull. Reports were almost ready.

Simon walked inside his house and entered the room where they both were sleeping. He saw Noman sleeping like a child while Farhan was missing from his bed. He was tensed to acknowledge that.

"Noman wake up!! Son wake up" he said in a low voice trying to wake him from sleep.

He opened his eyes real slow. He didnt answered him first. He looked around to acquire the scenario. Then he looked at Farhan bed.

"He was in here all the night" Noman answered him confusingly while half a sleep.

"Okay you better get sleep" Simon said and left the room. Simon knew he had ran away. He approached the constable as constable was waiting at his door busy in his walkie talkie.

"Sir he isn't here" he answered him sadly.

"What do you mean" constable asked him while staring at him.

"I dont know? He must have left in the midnight" he answered.

"Do you know where he can be? Any idea" constable inquired.

"I am afraid no sir. No idea where he must have gone or where he had spent his night" he answered him as Simon himself not know where he could have ended up.

Constable turned around and started to walk away. He was worried for Farhan. He took out his walkie talkie

"Control room!!! Control room!! The boy is missing. I repeat the boy is missing"

"Copy that. Acquired" after hearing the answer he place the radio set back in his belt and walked away while Simon still at his door thinking.

................

The crime scene reports had been provided to the town police station. The head officer of the police station was officer Jeff. He was a tall strong clean shaved man. He was a mature officer. He has reduced the crime rate real good.

He was sitting in his office while having tea, thinking about the crime scene.

"Sir!! Good morning" whesper second in command greeted him with a active salute.

"Ahhh!! Come on have a seat" Officer Jeff answered him.

He was holding the file of the crime scene in his hand. He placed the file on his desk. His desk consisted of bundles of files and tons of papers. It also has a cup in which variety of pens were placed.

"Thanks whesper!!"

"What does the report say" Officer Jeff inquired him as he started to examine the report while whesper stared at him.

Whesper took a long breath and was tensed. His fast twitched fibres muscles engaged and energy started to leak out from his foot ending up in a tremor.

"The same thing has happened from which we were afraid Sir" he answered anxiously.

"What do you mean" Officer jeff asked him as he put the reports on the desks with the others and took a sip

of tea.

"Sir .357 S&W Magnum was used. You know what that means" he answered him while staring him as drops of sweat travelled from his forehead all the way to his nose tip until he wiped it with his hand.

"Are you sure" Officer Jeff inquired him while giving him an confusing look.

"That what reports says. Its confirmed. I am afraid we can't help them" he answered.

"But they never involve themself like that" Officer Jeff told him as he took a long breath.

"I dont know. What are we gonna do know??" He asked him desperately.

"Dont know yet. You may leave!! Thanks!!!!" Officer Jeff answered him. Whesper stood up and left while Officer Jeff wets his fingertip with his saliva and picked up that report again and started to examine them carefully.

....................

College wasn't impacted with that night. Everyone was in the assembly ground. They were gathered for an announcement. Everyone was busy in gossips.

Kristin wasn't with Molly. She was accompanied by Kathy.

"Where is Molly" Kathy inquired her.

"Dont know and I dont care now" she answered with an unpleasant look.

"Why would you say that Kristin. She is your friend" kathy inquired trying to know what has happened between them.

"When Secrets becomes wall between friendship, It should be accomplished at beautiful ends before it gets worse" she answered her.

"Has something happened" Kathy asked.

"I am already tensed Kathy please!!! Can I answer your rapid fire some other time" she answered her irritatingly.

"Sorry if I am bothering you"

Mama Saima along with Coach climbed up the few stairs to get higher ground and address the students properly. Few of the students got attentive when they saw Mam Saima while others were still not bothering her.

She held the Mike close to her mouth and addressed them.

"How are you Students!!!!"

"Fine" Everyone answered her in a rhythmic voice.

"Examinations are gonna held. You will get notification very soon. Work hard!!! Secondly a terrible incident took place last night"

Everyone got attentive as they were desperate to know. Kristin didnt care about the exams.

Her mind was only circling around her relation and hypocrisy of her mother and Molly.

"Farhaan Gull,(she took a breath)"

Before, Kristin was not even looking at her but as she heard his name from her mouth she quickly glanced towards her and was desperate to know what she was next gonna deliver.

"I confess he had hard times in college, he ran into some fights and was not completely absorbed in the environment but last night he lost his mother. Someone shot her dead. I considered you should know about this!!

She gasped and climbed down and walked away along with coach to her office.

Everyone was silent for a moment. They were into conversation with each other trying to get as much information as possible whether wrong or right.

Kathy looked at Kristin. Kristin didnt care. She just rushed towards the gate. Kathy followed her.

"Kristi... Kristin wait"Kathy addressed her as she followed her but Kristin didnt stopped and continued walking as fast as she could.

Kathy rushed towards her and grabbed her from her shoulder. Kristin turned around gasping.

.

.

"Okay I will go with you" she answered her as she saw gamber shining tears in her eyes and she could feel her pain.

They both went out of the school while Kristin wipping her tears all the way. She headed for his home as fast as she could along with Kathy. Kathy saw her tears pouring from her beautiful hazel eyes all way long as she couldnt control her emotions.

..............

Farhan was sitting near a trash far away from his home. He wanted to get away as far as he could. He was in a weird and creepy place where addicts were living. It was a dirty place and stinky bilgy smell was all around in the air. The stinky smell source were those dirty and heedless rash people.

Everyone was very weak as they hadn't eaten for months. Their hairs crisscrossed, wearing torn clothes with patches in them,their cheeks pinched insides. They all were addicts.

They had served their minds for the slavery of their addiction.

They were reckless from the world not caring about anything. Tons of syringes and Almunium foils were on the floor. Some of them were sleeping while others were shooting up heroin.

Farhan was sitting with them. He had tied a dirty white hollow core narrow tube around his upper side of his arm real tight.

He had tightened up the tube so hard that his nerves were swelled and were now bubbling out of his skin. He was holding a syring in his other hand with a yellow solution.

He was shaking as he was holding the end out tube in his mouth. He was shooting up heroin in his vein.

The needle of the syring entered his vein piercing the skin making it's way. He pushed the slightly cone shaped end of syring with plunger inside the hollow tube of syring that pushed the heroin solution in his body.

He felt a rush in his body. The syring fell from his grip and laid on the ground in an instance. His pain was gone and he was released from this sweet looking hell for sometime.

....................

Kristin reached his home. She saw police vehicles and tons of constables investigating the scene. She parked her car on the side and approached a constable holding radio set.

"Sirr what happened here" she asked him while gasping.

The constable turned around and examined her. He judged that she was tensed and worried. He inquired

"Who are you"

"I am his Classmate. I mean we are in same college. Do you now where Farhan is now" she asked him nervously.

The constable stared her for a moment. She was desperately waiting for his answer.

"I think they are to their neighbors. That house I guess" he answered as he pointed towards Simon's house.

Kristin and Kathy rushed to Simon house. They knocked the door and waited miserably.

.

Simon opened the door. She rushed inside without noticing Simon. She screamed FARHAN!!!

Her wife was making breakfast for Simon and Noman. She stared her confusingly.

Kristin noticed her and before she could ask her anything she pointed her finger towards the stairs. Kristin rushed upstairs and opened the door.

Kathy waited downstairs. Simon and his wife were confused.

To clear their confusion she answered them

"Actaully....mmmm. She is their friend.. She is worried"

Simon moved her hand as he was question her what is all this.. while his eyes locked at her in awkwardness.

"I mean girlfriend... Sorry!!!" She answered him embarrassingly while looking down.

...............

Farhan found himself at a seashore. Water layers were rushing towards the seashore. He reckoned around and saw a man wearing black coat and cal standing barefoot while water wetting his foots.

He rushed towards him. As his feets hit the cold water he realized that he was also barefoot but it was not bothering him. As he got near he soon realized that it was his father.

"Father!!!! Where am I" he asked him while gasping.

His father turned his face towards him and gave him a smile.

"What a beautiful place it is" he answered him in a calming voice.

Farhan gave him a weird look. He looked towards the water. He saw seagulls flying over the water while some were diving in the water. The sun has almost lost his sunlight and was ready shrink. It was orangish as grey clouds cover most of it. He was struggling to lose their grip and shine again but it wasn't his time to shine.

"Deep blue sea. I feel so relaxed son" his father addressed him while looking at the water.

He observed the strong water layers sliding over the surface colliding with each other. He could also heard the ambient sound of the ocean.

"Walk with me son" his father asked him as he turned around and started to walk towards a hut close to the seashore.

He was confused. He just followed his father. The hut was very beautifully designed. Behind it were tons of trees aligned beautifully all the way up to the mountain as far as his sight could go.

His father didnt spoke a word. They walked to the door of the hut barefoot while his father's hands in his pocket.

At the front of the door his father stopped. Farhan also stopped and looked at his father.

"Son go inside, your mother wants to see you" his father satisfied him to fade away his fear with a smile.

He was desperate to see his mother. He continued to the door. He climbed the stairs to the door and before he could open the door he noticed someone down in the garden alongside the hut.

He looked and it was Kristin. She was wearing a cotton white plane shirt half sleeved. She had stuck a rose behind her ear.

She was standing looking at him. She waved his hand and greeted him with smile. He was confused what was happening with him. He stared her for a moment until she broke his eyes contact and walked away fading in the lines of trees.

He opened the door. The hut was empty. He continued inside.

"Mom are you in here" he called her but she didnt answered. The hut had lots of photos on the wall. He observed his family photo.

He stared at the photo as he had never saw it before. He was held in the air by the support of his mom's arms. She was smiling at him while he was too young to make any pose in that photo. His father was alongside them looking towards the camera and giving a broad smile. They were always a happy family.

Then his sight caught an photo of him standing with Kristin. They were looking at each other while their hands around their necks smiling. Kristin hair were covering some part of her face. She was looking tremendous in that photo as she always looked.

He moved around and saw his mother sitting on a chair as her back towards him. He could examine her hands moving as she was cutting something. He approached near and saw a basket of fruits towards her left on the table. It was like she was cutting fruits.

He put his hand on her shoulder and said in a low painful voice

"MOM!!! MOM!!!"

She didnt turned around.

He continued to her

"MOM I AM SORRY!!!I AM REALLY SORRY I LOVED" he was so absorbed in his apology that he didnt observed when his mom turned her face to him. When he looked at her he saw the same whole in her forehead as he saw on the night she died.

Her eyes outlined red and lips purple. She stared at him while still busy cutting fruits. He screamed and pulled himself away from her. She stood up and moved towards him.

He realized that she wasn't cutting fruits. She was cutting her wrist with knife. Flow of blood started to pour from her wrist as flesh was cut. He could see her red muscles inside her skin. He screamed and ran away outside. He bashed the hut's door.

He was in so hurry that he fell on the stairs on the

scared to hell and before he could recover his breath and ask him something he answered him

"Son she is a little angry. She will be fine" while he placed his hand on his shoulder.

He pushed his father's hand and rushed towards the sea. He didnt realized that he was now in water to his knees until he stopped. His heart was beating very fast as it will tear his chest and fell off. He was gasping taking heavy breaths. He knelt down in the water, covered his face with his hands and screamed as Loud as he could.

He screamed until he felt a soft hand on his shoulder. He was so scared that he threw himself in the water where he was carried him to deep water. He couldnt swim. The water was playing with him. He would rise up in the water and in an instant water would pushed him again inside. He couldnt breath. It was like thousand knifes tearing his body. When at once only his head was out of water her realized that Kristin was the one who placed her soft hand on his shoulder and he only heard her saying to him in a faint voice until it got fainter

"DONT WORRY IT'S OKAY. I LOVEEEEEEE YOUUUUUUUU" until he was completly drown in the cold sea water.
