Chapter 21: Family or Love

Breeze was blowing. The tall grass was waving and dancing in joy. Farhan was standing in the field trying to figure out where he was. The grass was as up to his knees.

He saw a herd of sheep grazing in the field. He walked towards it. He saw tiny wild flowers in the field as he was walking towards the herd. The sky was clear and he was enriched with dappled sunlight.

He made his way from the middle of the flock until he saw a small wooden house. He saw someone feeding a lamp in front of it. Behind the wooden house were huge mountain full of greenery and he could see white clouds floating over their tops. It was a beautiful scene.

He approached her. She had tawny hairs and was wearing sleeveless, Pink Floral Embroided dress dissolved in feeding the lamb.

Farhan realized that she was Kristin. She was looking gorgeous.

"Kristin!!!" He inquired awkwardly.

"Yes!! What is it" she greeted him with a smile as her Hazel eyes were shining.

"Where am I" he asked as he was suspecious.

" We are on our holiday, quite a peaceful place!! Isn't it?" She answered in a sweet and polite voice.

"When?" He ignored her question as he was desperate what was going on with him.

"What has happened to you? You wanted to get out of that town. You wanted to spend some time with me far away from that cruel place" she confessed as she released the lamb and stood up.

The lamb rushed towards the herd as he was desperate. She got close to him as her long tawny hairs were waving by the breeze.

"Let's go inside!! Have some tea, you will feel better". Kristin held his hand gently and guided him inside the wooden house.

"It's small but beautiful and cozy. I want to live here forever with you" she expressed her will.

She walked in the kitchen while Farhan followed her. She poured the tea in the mugs and offered him tea.

The house was furnished with small windows.

"Careful!! It's hot. You will burn you tongue" she told him while laughing and blushing innocently and sat on the couch next to him. He was confused and just observing her carefully trying to remember.

"You looks good in that outfit and hairs. When did you changed them" he asked her as he was trying to get himself awared.

"You told me that you liked that color. Remember we bought this dress just before leaving the town" she confessed while smiling at him.

"Ye..... Yes!!" He answered trying to remember. He was pretending to act normal. She was calm and was not uncomfortable by his weird behaviour.

"Kristin are you happy with me" he verified. He wanted to confirm if she really liked him or not. Actually he was asking this question to verify his past with her.

"Oh!!! We have some clothes hanging outside!! It's gonna rain soon, I completly forgot" she rushed outside placing the mug on the table.

Farhan was confused as the sky was clear when he walked in with her. He walked to the door and came to know that dark clouds had gathered the sky. The wind was strong brewing a violent storm in it.

He saw her rushing towards the clothes as the clothes were flying. Her hairs were thrown in the direction of the wind. The herd had disappeared suddenly. She was struggling with the clothes.

It was a never ending field as far as he could see. He was extremely confused when suddenly it began to shower violent rain. She screamed and and rushed back inside laughing and taking heavily in exictement.

"Shitt!!! How can I be so irresponsible, Our clothes are gonna get wet" she rushed inside. She was wet top to bottom.

"I better get change" she informed him. He just shove his head as he was dissolved in his thoughts. She rushed inside the bathroom. It was lighting and that brightening day was now dark as everything got wet in a second.

He roamed in that small hut until he ended up staring outside the window. He could hear thunders of lightning and heavy pattering of rain. It was getting even darker until he noticed someone standing in the field.

He was standing still completly wet in that horrifying scene. He locked his eyes on him trying figure out.

"He is your father, He is acting weird" Kristin acknowledged him from behind.

"Better fetch him inside"

He looked at her while he was tensed. He had no other option so he went out in that rain. He approached his father quickly from behind preventing him from rainwater while shivering from cold

"Father!!! What are you doing here, let's go" he answered him as he grabbed him gently from his hand. His father turned around with calmness on his face.

"I won't go in that house with you"

"Why father!! What have I done? Let's go!!! You will get cold" he answered him as he got awkward to hear his answer.

"You have killed thousands of innocent people!!! You are not my son" he answered in breaking voice.

Farhan was speechless. He couldn't answer his father for that.

"Father Please!!! Let's go" he pleaded him.

"I should have killed you on the day you were born. I was raising a beast!!!! How could I. How am i gonna answer those innocent people" his father answered him as he was crying in pain and regrets.

"Father!!! Please just go with me" he pleaded him as he was embarrased for his act.

when he saw thousands of shadows closing in on them from everywhere.

"What are they" he asked his father while gasping. He was extremely scared as they were approaching him.

"Your Sinns"

"Father!!!! Let's go" he answered him taking short breaths and pulling him hurriedly.

"But where son" his father with a helplessness in his eyes. Farhan was scared and tensed to hear his father. He had no other option as his father was not leaving with him.

Farhan left his father as he rushed back inside the hut as his boots splashing the rain water and the wild tiny flowers crushing under his feets. He closed the door with a bang while taking heavy breaths.

"Are you scared!!" Kristin verified in a calm and soothing voice.

"Please save me!!!! I dont wanna die" he begged while he couldnt control the fear rising over him.

He was pleading to her while suddenly they broke the door and climbed through the windows in mass. He held himself tight to the wall staring them with a fear of death in his eyes. He saw that they were passing through Kristin just ignoring her.

She was pushed gently by those things. She stood still while looking at him as he was horrified. She was just blinking her hazel eyes.

Some were bleeding while some didn't have eyes. They all were injured. Some were burned while some had some part of their body missing.

And before they could put their hands on him he screamed!!!!

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

Edgar was looking at himself getting prepared to meet William's daughter. He knew that his father was right when  Di Vinci entered his room.

"Good morning son!!" He greeted him with a smile.

"Is she waiting for me?"he asked him while managing his hairs.

"Ummmmm! Yes, She is. Are you desperate to meet her?" Di Vinci gave him a smile.

"Just acting upon your advice, Father!!" He answered him unpleasantly as he was doing it only for himself and his financial standard.

"You will be surprised to meet her!!! She is very beautiful" Di Vinci was happy for his son and could see William and his bond beneficial.

Edgar didn't answered him. He just gave him an annoying look and left.

"I have googled you the location!! Do checkout" he told him as Edgar left the room.

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

Duke woke up and found that Ryan was not in the room. He called him in an instant but Ryan wasn't responding his phone call.

He rushed towards the cupboard and came to know that Ryan clothes were missing.

"Ryan!!! What are you up to" he mummered to himself.

He called him again and this time he attended the call.

"Where the fuck are you?? At least inform me" he asked him gasping.

"I am in the town!" He confessed in a breaking voice.

" What the fuck!!!! Don't destroy yourself, you have your whole life waiting for you"

"I don't wanna be called a murderer. Everyone is considering me vile and worthless. They looks upon me like I murdered her. I never wanted this life"

"You dont have to do this Ryan!!" Duke tried to make him understand

Ryan just ignored his conversation

"I don't care!!! I will confess and if he had to kill then be it" Ryan answered him while crying and ended the call.

Duke lowered his phone and held it tight between his palm and fingers. He picked his pistol which was under his pillow and started to packup his things as he was preparing to leave that hotel.

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

Farhan worked up while taking heavy breaths. He was scared to hell.

"What happened!!!" Kathy asked him anxiously as she was sitting on the sofa having tea.

Farhan didn't answer her. He just unplugged his phone from the charger and was leaving tensely.

"Where are you going?" She stood up as she was tensed to see his abnormal behaviour. She tried to reach and comfort him.

"I am sorry Kathy!!! I have to go" he just answered her while gasping and left her home.

He was walking on the road. It was a sunny day. People were hurrying here and there. He kept his head down until his phone rang.

"Where the fuck are you!!! You should have informed me" he heard Di Vinci on the other side.

"That motherfucker attacked me!! I wasn't in a condition at that moment"

"Where are you now" he asked worriedly.

"Way back to villa, Dont worry!!! Will be there" he assured him.

"Tell me the damn location. I am sending a vehicle" he yelled at him.

"No need of that!!! I will reach soon"

"Why....."

"Just let me....." he answered him politely and ended the call.

He didn't wanted to talk to someone as he was trying not to remember his nightmare. He was tensed and walking alone deep in his thoughts.

Di Vinci took a long breath and closed his eyes.

He dialed Officer Jeff number and called him.

"Ahhhh!! I was waiting for your call!!!" Officer Jeff answered him like he was taunting him.

"Why did you attacked Farhan!! You knew he was my men" Di Vinci asked him politely.

"You forgot our pact!!!" He reminded him.

Di Vinci took long breath

"You know they shot my wife"

He diverted the conversation.

"I heard about your son marriage. Won't you invite me?? After all I am part of family" he answered him.

Officer Jeff was feeling sorry for Whesper. He could feel his absence in his department. How he greets him every morning and stick with him the whole day but now death had separated them very far and he couldn't bring him back even if he wanted to.

"You never needed a invitation!! You are always invited" Di Vinci answered him.

He ended the call and threw the phone away.

"MOTHERFUCKER!!! FUCK YOU!!!!

He yelled as he was alone in his room. He was angry at his wrong decision which had turned the whole department against him. His efforts were wasted. He couldn't find Lucas and had made another enemy of himself and the family.

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

Farhan was walking while his head down still haunted by his dream until he recieved a message. It was from Ryan:

"How are you?? I wanna meet you. I am in the town. Will be waiting for your reply.

He stared at the message while walking slowly trying to figure out his intentions. He was feeling angry as his rage was rising once again and reminding him of his mother death that night which snatched everything from him until he saw Officer Jeff walking towards him as his vehicle was parked on the side of the road.

He never realized when he parked his car and walked out of it.

He placed the phone in his pocket and they were face to face.

"I am glad to see you alive!!! What a Heroic stunt was it, How did you do that??? Worked in a circus or got training from your godfather???" Officer Jeff was relaxed and he couldn't see any anger nor any wish to avenge him.

"If you wanna kill me, Do it now. I have nothing to loose. I am worthless piece of shit!!!"

Officer Jeff laughed at him.

"You are of no use to me dead!!!! I will give you an offer" Officer Jeff answered him. He was very relaxed and wearing his black glasses.

Farhan just stared at him anxiously as he was desperate to inquire his intentions.

"Don't get too depressed!!! Just choose one: FAMILY OR LOVE" he answered him while playing games with him.

"I told you!!! I am kind and merciful even to my bitter enemies"

"What do you mean??"

"Ohhhh!! You don't know. Just remember my words, you will know it soon. I Will be waiting" he answered him as he turned around and started to walk away towards his vehicle.

Farhan was confused what the hell was happening to him. He couldn't understand his intentions.

He stood still under Officer entered his car. Officer waved at him while smiling as he stared him tensely until he took off.

His phone vibrated. He tookout his phone and was acknowledged that Ryan had googled him a location.

He got angry and considered it a challenge.

He called Joe:

"Bro!! Where are you"

"I need a piece!!!" He answered him hurriedly just ignoring those greetings and necessity that are in every religion.

"I thought Officer Jeff killed you and buried you in his lawn" Joe answered him.

"Just listen!!! Joe" he tried to clear his point.

"What are you up to? I can help you to avenge Officer"

"No!!! Just bring me a piece!! It's personal. Need a piece as fast as you can and don't tell anyone"

"Okay!! Don't worry. Will get it as soon as possible" Joe answered him while taking potation of wine.

He was thinking about his planning as who he wanted to kill.

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

Edgar had returned after meeting William's daughter. He was happy and quite satisfied. He was sitting in his never- ending lawn blushing and smiling to himself.

"Son!! You look quite happy" Di Vinci placed his hand on his shoulder from behind while smiling at him.

"I told you!!!! you are gonna like her"

"But is she ready for it!! I think she is too young ?"He inquired to know her will.

"What did you estimated"

"I think....... she was quite satisfied BUT......"

"We have power and are financially strong. You are handsome and lives a high standard life. What else does a girl desires besides it" he answered him as he sat along him.

"Drink with me son!!! It is a happy moment" as he poured whiskey in the glasses. Edgar was smiling to himself and they cheered up and started to enjoy that intimate moment.

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

Farhan had grabbed the piece from Joe and reached the place Ryan had googled him.

It was an old burnt factory with burnt and broken walls and rusted iron. It was completly empty. He reached the hall and saw Ryan standing with his back towards him.

He tried to approach him silently from behind but few yard away Ryan felt him and turned around.

"I was waiting for you" Ryan greeted him while tears pouring from his eyes.

His condition was not right. He had dark circles and red eyes. He looked thin and completly broken.

Farhan pointed his Magnum towards him in anger and rage while his finger on the trigger as Ryan was holding a pistol in his hand.

Ryan didn't got scare.

He realized what Farhan was thinking.

"Don't worry!!! I brought it for myself" he chuckled and approached him to clear his intentions.

Farhan still aimed at him closely but didn't answer him as he never trusted the murder of his mother and a boy who bullied him and treated him like a trash. Ryan sets free his pistol as it hit the ground but Farhan didn't get diverted.

He approached him so close that his Magnum was straight to his heart.

"Kill me!!! I beg you" he pleaded before him.

Farhan was confused. He was shaking to see his condition. He tried to aim at him but his expressions suddenly changed and he was getting weaker to see his condition.

"If you want me dead, then so be it!!! If you want me to confess to the jury I will but please set a punishment for me" he pleaded.

Farhan was shaking as he was struggling to control his emotions and trying to aim at his while his finger on the trigger but he started to lower his Magnum slowly from his chest.

Ryan suddenly held his Magnum. Farhan reflexes and firmed his grip. He held it from the tip and aimed it at  his own chest.

"Shoot me through my heart!!!! Please release me from this pain. I want freedom from this cruel world" he cried in pain.

Farhan mind was sequeling his dream he had that night. He was horrified of those innocent people he killed and how they haunted him. He couldn't speak as he was shaking. He tried his best to pull the trigger but he couldn't so he lowered his Magnum while shaking.

"Why don't you kill me? I tried hard to shoot myself but I couldn't. I am dying in pain" He was crying and taking heavy breaths.

"I didn't spare you. You don't deserve a quick death. I dies every day. I want you to feel that pain when you can't kill yourself and can't bare those regrets and sorrows" he answered him angrily and started to walk away.

"I beg you!!! I killed your mother... please do something!!!" Ryan pleaded and yelled at him in anger to somehow provoke to kill him and free him from this cruel word.

Farhan ignored him completly and started to walk away. He was thinking that he had made his father somehow proud by sparing his life but he never knew that killing one man is to kill the whole mankind.
