Pious but Evil

Verdict 16:The Heart

"we don't need Malina"Kamzan answered while devouring her questioning brown eyes.Her eyes were the most expressive thing to him.Without talking,without conveying anything,her eyes would transcend everything what she felt.At the moment Kamzan saw the eyes full of concern.

"Officer Nico is good on interrogation too" the last thing he wanted to hear was her praising the officer

"I am the leader of this case,whether you like it or not,I am your interrogator"captain Kamzan was the proof of the living quote that said it was easier to be angry than to admit you're hurt

"you could at least brought Malina to assist you"Yerein lower tone was almost unheard but not to Kamzan

"Do you think I can't handle it because of my injury?"

"I don't get it why you need to come"

"because it's my job"

"but you are not fine"

"I am fine,I didn't bring Malina,because you are going to tell me the truth"

"forget about the truth,just believe on what you see,just judge using the available evidence"Yerein wanted to be out from her dark situation but it's not in a way that someone would get hurt

"why?"

"Where did you get that wound?"

"that's none of your business"

"you are talking about the truth but you can't give me a proper and honest answer"

"Why does it concern you?"

"Just tell me"Kamzan knew that she knew something.She knew he got the wound because of her.He remembered Nico.He knew that because of Nico's mouth Yerein was putting him in the hot seat now.The table was reversed he was being interrogated instead.

"we had an operation"Kamzan paused intending to end his answer there but Yerein's eyes were still waiting for more answer,he had no choice but to continue" with shiko..your alleged husband"

"Did they ambush you?"

"it's not important"

"answer me,I can't give you the truth if you can't answer me truthfully"

"no we went there" the captain had no choice but to answer the demanding woman

"with officer Nico and Max?"

"how did..?"Kamzan attempted to ask how did she find out, although he knew who told her about their secret mission.

"stop your plan about my case" She contemplated about it for hours. When Fragya told her about his limb,she kept on thinking about him, she couldn't understand why the man needed to trade his limb to attain her freedom. To her this was wrong. She couldn't call it freedom, because freedom shouldn't be paid by sacrifices.

"well we can't do that,we already halfway to it"

"there is still time to back out"

"we are not doing it for you,we are doing it for justice"

"forget about the justice,seek justice on the other case not on this case"
Yerein said the words while pointing her right index finger on the table as if her case was written there.

"we can't do that"
But the captain already made up his mind. There was no turning back,he would not retreat anymore. He would walk forward to the dangerous lines without hesitation until he could give her the freedom or the justice according to him.

"Did you not understand that my case is complicated? if you can't think of a safe method to help, then please stop,I feel uncomfortable seeing someone suffering because of helping me"

"you want a safe method,but you deprived me of the truth that's why I went there"Kamzan's face had mixed emotions.Frustrated,angry but never wanted to lose his composure.He wanted to help for justice and remorse.He regretted it.He regretted that he became judgemental on Yerein. What Yerein didn't know just to help her, Kamzan was willing to go back again to Shiko's house just to find evidence.He was willing to risk his life for justice according to him.

"If you really want the truth I will give it to you"

"Your case will not be solved by shouting,we need a real talk here.Now Yerein I want to help but first you need to tell me the truth" Kamzan locked the main gate of the cell first signifying that he was going to talk about a serious matter.

"The truth you wanted to know and the truth that I knew are different" Yerein heartbeat ran like a cheetah however she didn't question captain Kamzan's action because when she looked at his face,it was full of seriousness and sincerity.

"Tell me the truth that you know then" Kamzan spoke calmly as if he was trying to seduce the dignified woman in front of him.

However when Kamzan said those words,she didn't see a maniac who's trying to make a move on her,she saw captain Kamzan as her hope.Without thinking she asked"Will you believe me?"

"It depends if you narrate it beautifully"

"So it depends on the narration?" she was nervous but beyond grateful.It was the first time Kamzan would listen to her story.The first time she saw this man,it came across to her mind that he could be her hope,but with what happened lately she gave up that hope.And now she felt like Allah answered her prayer.The impossible man whose powerful enough to change her maddening state was finally offering his hand.

"Maybe,maybe not"he answered while looking intensely to the woman in front of her.Their position now was different from what they used to do.He was sitting on the bottom of the bed,they were maintaining enough space.Yerein was also sitting at the bottom.Their positions were from bottom to bottom.But the distance was enough to hear each other.

After Kamzan's reassurance,she immediately confessed her true form,without blinking,with a few paused she opened her world to him"I have no husband.No human owned me.No human owned my body.No human owned my soul and heart.I am..I never married and never loved anyone,or maybe I loved them from afar and married them in my dreams.But in reality,during my conscious state,I know,I can testify that I have no husband and I have no son".
