Everything looks hauntingly barren and hollow. All that was significantly left was the half burn garage.
Cautiously, I took few steps towards the gravely burning site.
"Mum!" I mutters as I held on to the temple of my weakening head. The vision of those darkening plight begin to shroud me, conquering my soul. I struggle with horrific pain but pleasure. The amounting pleasure of endurance. Two gun shots filled the night with such clamouring blast. I fell on my knees upon the soft murky ground.
I knew I'm bleeding at this moment, but there's no pain but simply sheer comfort. Not wanting to give in, with valiant spirit, I stood up..as I try to figure out who was shooting me. It was bleak. Holding on to my wounded self, I amble closer towards that shadowing figure...I saw the head of the gun still pointing directly at me, and those hands...my breathing gets heavier as I squint my eyes, so I could catch the glimpse of that shooter... And to my horror, it was Habil.
"Habil!" I cried in a muffle sob as I awake from my tormenting sleep. My whole body was drench with cold sweat.
"Reem.." state Ezra with notable agonizing fear raging his eyes.
"I've hurt them...Freda and Leia? Did I?" I question Ezra.
"You didn't mean to...it was just not you at all..." State Ezra.
"Ezra, please stop lying to me...you are not protecting me...you are hurting me more.." I plead. "I remember everything...!"
True enough, upon the day I was thrown out from my home, I did came back later that night, but with a dreadful agenda. I got myself a shot gun and walk straight right into their home, my home. Without second thoughts, I pulled the trigger, once towards Freda and next towards Leia. However, unknowingly, Habil was standing right behind me. In a swift, he had managed to pull the gun away from my hand. With fit of anger, I marched closer towards him, when suddenly I felt shuddering pain upon my shoulder..I was shot. Habil shot me.
I fell on the floor, in tears, in pain with disappointment.
At that point of time, the cops had arrived.
"It was me, I had shot them..!" Mutters Habil sorrowfully.
"No..it wasn't him. It was me..." I yelled, as I struggle as hard as I could just to get close to him. With all my courage of dampening strength, I held on to Habil but he was roughly pulled away by the cops. I cried tearfully for his name. But to no avail....
Now I'm back to my reality self, I knew I need to undo all my wrong doings, my unforgivable mistakes.
" We must help Habil...it wasn't his doing. It was me. I'm the one that had shot them.." I plead with Ezra.
Ezra remain numb and speechless.
"You don't have to worry about Habil." Mark Ezra soberly. "He's been released, and he's safe.." said Ezra as he stood up from my bed and pace few inches away from me. "Both Freda and Leia survive that shooting..but they live in such grievance shocked."continues Ezra as he pause. "I've made them not to press any charges."
"You.. you've becoming like a living dead for that past six months" utters Ezra with a worrisome look mark on his face. "But we are not giving up, we knew you will eventually overcome this."state Ezra solemnly. "We?" I asked curiously.
Ezra nodded his head grimly.
"You meant there's someone else been looking after my breaking self?" I pry curiously again. "Who?"
"You will know one day. But as for now, if you don't want to take any of those meds, there's one thing which you need to comply." State Ezra firmly.
"What?" I asked.
"See someone professional .." mark Ezra. "I will be there for you Reem.." state Ezra with misty tears dwelling on his eyes.
He held his arms around me..just like the past. He had his most notable, beautiful smile. It seems the old Ezra, Ezra which I've given my heart before is back.
Would this heart of of mine could ever diminished the burning pride? Burning my pride, therefore the ashes of redemption could
