The Tales of love- II

58.5:"Lost in dirt"

It's like every time he is with his sister Tauheed appears from the dust. It almost paranoid him. That man appears from all directions.

"Why are you looking at my house?"

He stilled.

He turns around to find Tauheed looking over his shoulder and he gulped.

"What are you looking at?"

He takes a step back, and another. Just as he said, this man appears from anywhere.

"Nothing. I was here because you said you have a mission". He said, walking to get a glass of water

"I saw the cat". Tauheed said and he starts to cough, "Must say that annoying brat sits on my couch like it's hers".

"She was beaten to death when I found her".

"We don't even leave animals". Tauheed said, sighing, "You are appearing everywhere and saving everyone".

He clench the glass in his hands, wondering if his sister told him about their first encounter. After he dreamt of the same misery again it was hard to face her. A voice in his head continuously drags him back to the darkness. It chills his bone to death.

"What's the mission?" He asked, ignoring his stares

"It's about trafficking. Although I believe it's more of a kidnapping children against their will and pushing them in the dirt".

He felt his heart stop. No, it can't be happening again. No, no, he ended it. He ended it all. Why does it all sounds familiar?

"Who is involved?"

"Some rich politician, businessman, police and more". Tauheed said, shrugging, "We need to move fast".

He narrows his eyes at Tauheed who looks distracted. He wasn't throwing his usual comments and not even glaring at him as usual. The times he has met him a week ago, he was always at his head. Even when he calls for mission his voice wasn't that of challenge. It was just raw and simple. Not his usual self at all.

"Is something wrong?" He asked, as he stiffened, "Is Aima ok? Did something happen? I haven't seen her for a week is she hurt?"

"Why do you care?"

He frowns, "What?"

"Why do you care about my sister? Or if she is hurt?"

"So, is she?" He needs to know the answer before he runs across the road to get to her

"No. I guess she is fine".

"What do you mean by 'guess'". He asked, almost ready to pounce at him to get his answers

"She is just hurt and scared". Tauheed replied, "I don't know. I have a psychiatrist for her. She started it. I just don't know what I can do for her".

"Can I see her?" He asked, hesitating

Not because he didn't want to meet her. He just wants to do this right. He wants to meet her after knowing that she is hurting. He knows she is hurting. He was stupid to believe that a cat will help her if he wasn't there.

"Lunch will be ready in an hour. Join us". Tauheed said, patting his shoulder as he walks out of the house

He was anxious to be at lunch. He didn't even change from his business attire because that means he will have to leave and come back. He wonders if she was doing ok and what causes her this pain. He should have asked Tauheed the name of the person who caused it so he can pay a visit.

About an hour later, she changes into a different set of clothes after her brother demanded and said they have visitors. Her brother never asks her to do so and she didn't think much. Her appetite is very low these days. She holds her cat, petting it as she descended the stairs.
