The novel “The Evil Nights-The Man Behind The Black Mask”, a crime-fiction story ending in fantasy and flowing with continuous suspense, indicates a collection of different socially ridiculed scenarios of most of the under-developed, narrow-minded, parochial and conservative societies of the world and nearly all of its chapters contain a specific philosophically hidden message for the youth which will automatically highlight itself at the end of the chapters. This story also enlightens the struggling difficulties which originate in the life of orphans, the drawbacks of lack of parental affection and obligations for the sake of accomplishment of their broken love stories without considering their child’s circumspection and attention, and most essentially, the significance of time and career-building, career-orientation and believe in the power of knowledge and education as the most useful weapon to demolish all the current problems and building an undefeatable nation.

The Evil Nights, The Man Behind The Black Mask

"Can you lend me this red car just for one night?"


 Humayun, doing tedious work in the bonnet of a car, hears this question and consumes a minute to identify the voice.


He turns rapidly with expressive anger and shouts " Never!"


Sara is sitting over the bonnet of a red car behind Humayun.


 She replies calmly,  "Well, fine! By the way, I was kidding. Can you lend me this?  I have something to repair urgently." 


She stands up with a welding machine in her hand. He drags it forcibly and says


She replies solemnly " I am not kidding this time!"


Humayun says carelessly, " but still no!"


Sara says further, " I think you have bellied.  I am not a cruel proudy girl and I have forgiven you."


 Humayun replies sarcastically with an ironic smile on his face "Oh! forgive me? But would you like to tell me the reason, madam ?"


Sara haughts, " For the reason you insulted me!"


Humayun says angrily, "Enough! I did nothing wrong and I am not going to give you any explanations!"


 Sara says , "Calm down! How hot-headed you are!"


He asks,changing his expressions, "Your bike is not ready. Why are you here?"


Sara replies, " to annoy you! Oh! I mean to borrow your machine basically do you know what…"


He interrupts, "Stop babbling madam! I cannot give my machine. You can drop anything you need to repair."


Sara refuses with a smart smile, "No, it is secret!"


She begins babbling again and continues for nearly half an hour. He becomes irritated but keeps quiet.


Suddenly he yells angrily, "Don't you feel  uncomfortable at such shops? didn't your father teach you anything? Such shops are unsuitable for girls. Have you ever seen a girl here? So go away!"


 Sara becomes quiet. His loud voice makes her afraid and she runs away.
