Chapter 14: Crying like Rain
Kristin was dying of guilt. She wanted to be with him and make him feel her presence in that hard time but she wasn't with him. He never blamed her for anything. Kristin returned disappointed from Simon's home as they didnt know where he was.
...............
Ryan and Duke had already left the town. They were sent away until that matter was solved. Duke wasn't guilty to murder an innocent life. He was stone hearted.
.................
Officer Jeff and whesper were at their house to stop the investigation. Officer Jeff knew that they were helpless and he couldnt do anything for them. All because of that .357 Magnum cartridge.
"Sir!! Ryan and Duke were his classmate. Noman confessed that they shot her and now they are out of town" Whesper informed him.
Officer Jeff and Whesper were sitting in their police vehicle while staring at their house as they had parked the car outside their house.
Officer Jeff was wearing black glasses while one hand on steering wheel.
"His confession is of no use you know that" Officer Jeff answered him while still staring their house and observing CSI Unit.
.
"Drive me to the boys" Officer Jeff ordered him..
"Sir!! He is in his neighbors. Can reach him by foot" Whesper told him.
"Okay let's go" as he went out of the car and started walking towards Simon's house. Whesper opened the door on the other side and rapidly started walking along him.
Officer Jeff was walking to his neighbors. He saw team his forensic team walking out of the house as one of them closed the door. They were wearing Personal protective clothes that are used to prevent contaminating the crime scene. He waved his hands to them as he was calling them.
They approached him. One of the CSI acknowldge him
"Sir we have some hair DNA along with some blood which was not of the victim".
"Anything you wanna tell me more" he asked him.
"Yes Sir!! We also have fingerprints of people present at the crime scene" he answered him.
"Okay!! Mmmm burn the reports and destroy the evidence or any clue" he answered him as he was wearing black glasses and they couldnt distinguish where he was looking.
"But Sirr!!!" One of CSI unit team man cross talked him.
And before he could continue Officer Jeff told him
"It's an order not a request. Do as I say you are my team" he ordered them with anger in his voice.
"Are we clear" he confirmed.
"Yes Sir" they answered them.
"Good" he mummered to himself while Whesper standing behind him quietly. Officer continued to his Simon's house.
................
He knocked the door. Simon opened the door and greeted them to his house.
"Whesper you stay here" he ordered him. Whesper obeyed his order and stood still outside.
Officer Jeff entered his house.
"Accompany us at breakfast. We will be honored" he asked him to join them at breakfast
.
"No it's good. I want to meet the boy" he inquired.
"Yes ofcourse. He is upstairs" Simon addressed him.
"Thanks" Officer Jeff answered him as he started to climb the stairs.
"Any news of Farhan" Simon inquired from behind.
Officer Jeff took off his black glasses and answered him without looking at him while he was halfway the stairs
"No!! Not yet but we are searching for him. Dont worry"
He opened the door to Noman room. He saw Noman sitting on his bed. He was so dissolved in his thought he never noticed Officer Jeff entering the room. He was passing through severe trauma.
Officer Jeff sat near him. He still didnt bothered him. Officer Jeff cleared his throat to gain his attention. Noman moved upwards faslty as he blinked his eyes and looked towards Officer Jeff.
"How are you my boy" Officer Jeff tried to be polite.
"I am fine. Where is my brother" he inquired him with pain in his dark black eyes.
"Dont worry!! We are searching for him every inch of the town. We will find him soon" he answered trying to satisfy him and release his stress.
"Who shot your aunt. What happened" he inquired him.
"Ryan and Duke entered the house while Farhan at gunpoint. He pointed the gun towards her. Farhan tried to save her but Duke shot her and ran away" he told him as he was not in his complete senses.
"No my son!! It is not the way you are telling. They were out of the town that night" he answered him confidently.
"What the Fuck are you saying!!!!! They were in our house" he shouted at him with anger.
"Son we have their ticket and room reservations. They were out of the town. I have checked the details" he tried to make him understand.
"Fuck off!!! Fuck the whole department" he abused Officer Jeff.
After hearing that Officer Jeff stood up and advised him
"You are in a severe trauma. Take rest I can understand" and started to walk away.
"How much did they paid you. You fucker" he screamed at Officer Jeff as he left the room and closed his room door with bang.
He went downstairs and saw Simon waiting for him anxiously. He stopped in front of Simon while staring him.
"What happened Officer" he inquired anxiously.
"They boy is out of his mind. He is passing through a severe trauma as he had seen a dead body. Take good care of him" he advised them. He wore his black glasses once again in which Simon could see his wiggly reflection.
"Dont worry Officer" Simon assured him.
Officer Jeff walked out of his house where Whesper was waiting for him.
"What happened Sir" Whesper asked him as they were approaching their police vehicle.
"He thinks I am corrupt and they had paid me" he answered with a smile on his face.
"And why would he say that" Whesper inquired him.
"I am trying to prevent them from any further damage. I am trying to save their lives" He answered as the entered the car and took off.
.............
Farhan stood immediately from his nightmare. He thought he was drown in the water. He was taking heavy breaths and he could felt his hearing pounding. He found himself on a bed. He couldnt understand where he was. He Observed the room.
It was single room house with a small window and attached bathroom. His bed was warm and cozy. He entered the bathroom and splashed some water on his face.
He looked at himself in the mirror. His wounds given to him by Ryan and his boys were healed and his face was shining like a new penny but he also noticed redness in his pitch black eyes and dark circles around them.
He looked at his arm and saw the mark left by the needle. He hadn't seen him that much carefully for a long time.
He heard someone opening the door. He went outside the bathroom to inquire. He saw Jimmy entering the house.
Jimmy had some food in his hand. He gave him a broad smile and sat on the bed.
"How I ended up here" he asked anxiously as he approached near Jimmy.
"Bro!! Powder was okay but shooting up heroin in middle of addicts, I never expected that from you" he answered him.
"I am a dealer. I supply drugs. I saw you and helped you as a friend".
"Where is my phone" he asked him in an instant.
"On the table" he answered while he took a bite of sandwich.
Farhan looked at him as he was very hungry. He chewed mouthful of sandwich with pleasure as Farhan mouth filled with saliva as he saw him.
He just stared at him.
" I am not a mean friend. I have brought one for you and also a soda. Same flavour we drunk in the canteen on your first day" he answered him trying to brighten his personality and expressing his feelings.
"Dont remind me of that fucking college. I hate it" he answered unpleasantly.
"Here take it you will feel energetic" Jimmy offered him the sandwich. Farhan in a sudden of time took the sandwich and started eating it.
"Hahhhh" Jimmy laughed at him while drinking soda.
Farhan head was aching. He picked up his phone and dialed Noman's number but his phone was powered off.
Then he called Kathy. The bell rang for sometime but she picked up the phone.
..................
"Hiii Kathy!!" He answered her.
"Heyy where are you. We all are very worried for you" she answered him as she was surprised to hear his voice.
"Dont lie. No one gives a shit about me. I know that" he confessed.
Kathy knew that he was telling the truth. She was a regular student and never skipped the college. She was liked by everyone as she had friendly personality and that gives her opportunity to observe the opinions of students about one another.
But she told him that to make him feel his importance.
"Can you do me a favour" he requested her.
"Yes ofcourse but where are you" she insisted him to tell his location.
"Just do me a favor!! Please will you. I beg you" he begged her and now Kathy feel his voice breaking and pain expressing in his voice.
"Yes why not" she answered as his breaking voice was piercing her from inside. She was always caring for everyone.
"Have they buried my mom" he inquired while tears poured from his eyes.
"Yes we attended her funeral. They had buried her" she told him. She was feeling extremely sorry for him. She was controlling her emotions on the edge of the knife.
"Can you tell me where? Please I beg you!!! Can you tell me" he requested her while crying on the phone.
Jimmy who entered the room with a good and enlighten mood was now nervous to see his position. He estimated how broken and injured he was by his heart and he had an idea about his pain as he also had lost his mother but he had lost them both.
"Yes!! She is buried next to your father's grave" she acknowledge him.
"How is Kristin? Tell her I am really really sorry for what she is facing due to me" he confessed while his voice flattering.
"She is good but worried for you. She wanted to meet you. " she expressed Kristin's will. "I will accompany her soon"
"No! Dont tell her I called you. I dont want to hurt her again" he answered her.
"But let me tell her something. I can't see her writhe of your absence. She had that right over you. Didnt she??" She tried to make him understand.
"All right just tell her that I loved her and I was in love with her blessed Hazel eyes the most" he told her and ended the call while tears still pouring from his eyes.
.................
Farhan wore a jacket hanging on the wall. He put his phone in his pocket and he was tying the laces of his sneakers when jimmy asked him
"Where are you going"
"Non of your concern" he answered him while still busy with his sneakers.
"But wait" he asked instantly.
He looked at him as he stood up. He took a long breath and started staring him.
"I dont wanted to interrupt you but I was asking if you had money" he asked while taking short breaths.
Farhan continued staring at him. He didnt say a word but his eyes confirmed Jimmy that his pockets were empty and he was penniless.
So he tookout some cash from his pocket,leaned
towards him and placed the cash in his pocket.
"It will help you and dont buy drugs with my money. Use it for good" he advised him and gave him a broad smile.
At that moment it was the first time he realized
..................
THERE IS STILL KINDNESS, LOYALITY AND PURITY OF SOULS PRESENT BUT WE IGNORE THEM. IT IS ALWAYS PRESENT IN EVERY PERSON BUT SOMEWHERE DEEP AND HIDDEN.
Farhan eyes were once again filled with
tears to see his kindness. He hugged him real tight and left the house.
...................
Kathy entered Kristin's room. Kristin was spending most of her time with Kathy now. She was feeling alone and Farhan's absence was irritating her. She also started hating Molly for her hypocrisy according to her opinion but Molly did everything for her sake.
"Hii. How are you feeling" Kathy greeted her.
"I don't know" she answered her in a breaking voice. She was sitting on her bed while Kathy alongside her. Kristin eyes were swollen and red as she cried the whole night.
"How can you love someone so hard that you can't bare his absence" Kathy inquired her.
"I dont know. I never meant to love him. It just happened all by itself and now I can't stop thinking it's so hard" she answered as she started crying.
Kathy was confused whether to tell her or not. She wanted to keep his promise but she couldnt see her pain writhing for him all day and night.
Her mind was insisting her to keep the promise not to get embarrassed in front of him while her heart wanted to tell her the conversation she had with him word by word to relief her from pain.
She took a long breath and before she could speak anything her mother entered the room. She was holding a tray with 2 glasses of orange juice for them.
Kristin rapidly started wiping her tears.
"Honey are you all right" she inquired nervously.
"Yes mom dont worry. I am all right" she tried to satisfy her.
Her mother knew her pain. She wanted to free her from that pain. To sooth her somehow she gave her a hope and told her
"Honey dont worry. He will return and everything will be okay"
"Mom you dont know what you have done. I had seen that pain in his eyes. He is way too possessive about me. Do you think he will return after what you said to him. He will never return" she yellled at her while crying.
Kathy just rubbed her hand over her back to sooth her.
Her mom approached near
"Honey I am sorry. I never meant to hurt you"
"I know mom but I wants to be alone please!!! I beg you" she request her. Her mother left the room which she thought was best at that moment.
Kathy took a deep breath. She couldnt resist anymore as she couldnt see her like that after all they were friends.
"Kristin there is something I want to tell you'" she told her. Kristin didnt answer she continued crying while her head down covered with bedsheets.
"He called me earlier that morning" she confessed.
Kristin looked at her with her eyes like puppy.
"He was asking me about his mother's grave. I know where he might be found"
...................
Farhan walked all the way to the graveyard. He bought some Rose's from the way for his parents graves. He entered the graveyard.
He searched here and there until he found his parents graves under a Withered tree.
Kathy was right. His mother grace was alongside to his father's grave. He walked very slowly to their graves while his eyes locked at the graves.
He looked and observed that withered tree with no leaves at all. It had pointed branches which were very weak. He could see yellow dead leaves all around their graves. It was like the withered tree was trying to protect them with it shadow but it couldnt.
He walked towards their graves very slowly while rustling sound of leaves produced as he stepped on them.
He looked at his father's grave which had some dust over it. Then he glanced at his mother's grave which was constructed newly. He had regrets that he couldnt attend their funerals.
"I am sorry Mom and Dad. You were my everything. I won't survive without you I know that neither I wants to live anymore. What am I gonna do without you. You left me so early" he was mummering to himself while tears pouring from his eyes.
"It was all my fault mom. I should be the one dead. I was never a good son but I loved you soo much. I tried but I failed mom I failed to protect you and I let my father down. I will have this regret till I rest into my grave and my soul leaves my body" he continued addressing them. He was holding couple of bouquets.
He placed each bouquet on their grave and then stood still at their grave.
.................
When suddenly someone hugged him from behind very tightly. He recognized her instantly from her body's fragrance that it was Kristin.
"Why would you do that to me. You know I can't live without you. I loved you soo much. I am sorry, I am soo so sorry" she confessed while crying as she hugged him.
Her head laid on his back while his jacket wets with her tears. Farhan turned around and held her hands
"I DONT DESERVE YOU, I am destroying you.Can't you see.You were never meant to be like this. I always wanted you happy. You deserve someone better. I let you down and made you cry but I always loved you. I couldnt saw you in pain and couldnt face you but I always loved you" he confessed while crying.
"I know that baby. I know that!!!!!" She kissed him while crying. The were indeed two souls in a body where one couldnt breath without the other.
Kathy was standing behind them. She was happy to unite them. She was also wiping her tears with her hands.
Farhan and Kristin countiued kissing as they held their heads closed to each other. Their foreheads were touching. They were feeling alive once again.
