EDITED

  "Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,

Where there is injury, pardon;Where there is doubt, faith;Where there is despair, hope;Where there is darkness, light;And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seekto be consoled as to console,to be understood as to understand,to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life." 

* Francis  of Assasi*

Blood dripping from her injury which was fresh... Which was caused by my hands... How can one be cruel to their love???

Stricken by my ego and guilt,I left her alone. Yes, I was a man who turned backs on their defeat. And this was my defeat.

Rushing forward to the elevator, I pressed the P button and waited to descend to the Parking lot.

I knew where I had to go... The place where I seeked comfort of mind when I messed up with it.

I drove furiously to the old cemetery, where there was my grandfather's grave and took my place near the bench outside.

It was a cold night and I was a little affected by the wind hitting on my face.

I wiped off the perspiration from my forehead despite the winter spells,which were due to my conscience who was slapping me constantly for behaving wrong with her.Words might do injustice to how I was feeling right now.

' Aaahh ! '

Taking a long breath, I maintained my composure of not being the 'Broken' Azfar.

I felt sorry for Zahra, I need to go and escort her home safe... I'll heal the wounds myself, I promise you Bellarina.

*****************************

Zahra's POV:

I got dizzy seing the blood dripping and while thinking that I had to use the elevator to get down again.

*sigh*

I took out my handkerchief from my bag and tied it tightly on my arm so that at least it makes any difference.

Who'll donate me blood,if it loses too much... Eh,the perks of being an O negative.

Well, my mom would be praising Azfar for pushing me into death-bed so that she can make me sign the will of all the money going to her.

*sounds like a typical daughter of a tyrant stepmother*

I need to get going,it's already Isha and plus the main gate would be shut by 10:00.

But,lovely! My fear of being a claustrophobic, ah.

I recited Ayat-ul-Kursi and blew it upon myself and the Mauwaz'etein too, in case I needed extra bodyguards.

Saying Bismillah, I pressed the G button inside the elevator and waited for it to get me down in less than a blink of eye . *fantasizing thoughts*

Well,this could have been possible if Jasmine's flying mat was for real.

It is famously known that when you fear something, you fear more. So,for this the lights started flickering and soon I was 'caught up' in my favorite place . *sarcasm*

' La Ilaha Illah An'tah Subhanaka Inni Kuntu Min'Az Zualimeen '

I recited this dua and kept chanting it like several times and didn't bother to open my eyes for once.

But, my *ghost is here in darkness* mind asked me to open my eyes if ghosts were real. Check.

Complete blankness. Check.

Suffocation. Check.

Ah, Sue you Azfar ! May Allah make you pay for this! Only if you knew, I feared this state you've put me into.. Well,he is a monster Zahra,he doesn't possess a human heart. So he wouldn't have cared either.

I mentally facepalmed myself, for hoping sympathy from him who caused me this.

My crappy mind. Check. Check. Check.

I shouted for help,if someone could hear me in this vacant box I had been locked into... Somewhere middle in the air,huh?

I dialled the number, I had called earlier this morning which was the operator's assistance helpline. After 6-7 rings,the phone was picked up. Thanks to the networks being connected here.

' P... P... Pl... Ah ah ah.. Pls ... Help... Me ! I'm stuck in the elevator on the 4th floor I guess, and the lights are off too... And .. And this is all because of that monster Azf... '

My breathes got hitched when I was cut off by him, again...the monster.

" I'm really sorry Bellarina ,for whatever has been happening with you since you're here but now as the gates are locked from outside and I don't have any keys... But don't worry I'm not scaring you,I'll come and help you out of the lift. Catch on your breath,meanwhile! "

And the phone was hung.

Why did the voice seemed dissimilar ?

I closed my eyes once again and tried breathing normally, while I was instructed to catch my breath... I was struggling hard to keep it going.

After a minute or two,everything slowly appeared to fade away and I felt as if someone is pulling me down and caressing me to sleep.Perfect Blankness.

*****************************

I had the details of every move Azfar took and saw that how badly he hurt Tabassum, and then just went away. How could he be so mean & cruel?

I was almost late inside and then I had to stay there until the guards reappeared around midnight as I had forgotten my keys in my car.

The reception's phone rang all of a sudden and I felt that it might be Zahra only,asking for any sort of assistance. It was true.

' P... P... Pl... Ah ah ah.. Pls ... Help... Me ! I'm stuck in the elevator on the 4th floor I guess, and the lights are off too... And .. And this is all because of that monster Azf... '

This hit my mind high and I planned to be nefarious ,to show Azfar his real place.

He had been chasing after money and fame for more than 10 years ditching me insultingly as his dog,more like I was not his friend but a puppet at his hands.Besides we had some unfinished business to handle one-one.

" I'm really sorry Bellarina ,for whatever has been happening with you since you're here but now as the gates are locked from outside and I don't have any keys... But don't worry I'm not scaring you,I'll come and help you out of the lift. Catch on your breath,meanwhile! "

Hanging the line quickly, I marched towards the control room. I made sure the lights remain turned off, so that I could accomplish easily what I had planned to do. *evil grin appears*

I called out to Tabassum, trying to sound similar to Azfar so that she assumes me to be Azfar only. The electricity was off,and I made sure that it remained so by switching off the power board by cutting it's main wire. A well dramatic villain, I play ahan.

A right place to hit the axe,and the right time too.
