Chapter 9 - 9. Meeting my brother

I carried my mother in my arms and started running.I can't go through the front gate.There might be someone.I decided to use the maintenance door. So I went to maintenence room. I took a blue jacket and put it on me.I took a cart and put my mother into it and covered it with a cloth. I have to hurry.That man up there might have called his allies.They will be coming here in no time.They really didn't expected me to escape.That's why I met no guard escaping from that building. Now I look like a cleaner.No one will suspect me.But I have to hide first to plan my next action.I have bury her also.I kept walking not so fast not so slow so that no one will suspect me.I saw a car entered the building. I quickly walked into a small alley.If I walk through this I will reach The New Era Bank. I need money. If I delay any longer they will track me through bank account. I cann't let that happen .I will have to disappear completely from this world. When I reached the mainroad a bright light blinded me.

A man in black came out of that car. I was about to run backwards that man grabbed my hand,"Aayat! What are you doing here in the midnight? Why are you dressed up like that?"

I took a look with surprise to see who was that?I t was my brother, Who stayed with that man when I got out of that house out of filial piety. What is he doing here?Is he with that man?Is he here to catch me? I grabbed the stick that I took from maintenance room.I don't trust anyone anymore.

"What are you doing here?Are you here to catch me?"

"What! No, why would I catch you?What are you talking about?"My brother looked confused as he answered me.But I can't trust him.I have seen enough shape shifting in one night.I raised the stick to threat him"You better tell the truth.I won't believe you that easily . What are you doing here? You are supposed to be in another country.I will ask last time , what are you doing here?"

My brother looked he has no idea of what was going on."I noticed father was doing something suspicious.Today I found a confirmation email of buying ticket of USA in his laptop.It didn't feel right. I tried to call you but you were out of internet. So I came here."

I remembered my wifi was disturbing in the morning.Maybe that time....No point in thinking.I should go with him. He has a car. Moreover he is my mother's son .He has the right to know about what happened. I have to take the risk of trusting him for now ."Let's go,brother. We don't have time they will be coming."

"Who will come?And where are you taking that cart?"

"I will tell you when It's time. Now let's go."

I left that cart in the luggage compartment.My brother started to drive."Can you tell me now what's going on.What's in that cart?"

"Mother's corpse."

He was so shocked that he almost lost controll of car. I was ready so I managed it somehow.

"Are you kidding me? That was a bad joke, I won't buy it."

"I'm not kidding.Mother is dead."

"What nonsense are you talking?what's going on?"

I told him everything that happened with me.He was silent.I saw his hands were trembling. I looked at him.He was crying.I softly asked,"If you want to cry, then let me drive the car .I have to get out of this country safely.I have to be safe to take my revenge."

"I can manage it.You don't have to worry. It must have been hard on you.Sorry I should have informed you before.I am partly to be blamed for all this.I should have told father about the money you sent for him .If I had done that maybe he wouldn't hate you that much.I am sorry."

"No, he would do the same even if you had told him. He has a beast in his heart which he has no controll over.I don't blame you.Don't blame yourself.If there is anyone to blame then it's me.I trusted the wrong man, I couldn't doubt him in time even if he was so close.I blame myself."

"Aayat you trusted the wrong man.But don't let it break your heart.You have to be strong.I know we are of same age.But I am your brother.Its my duty to protect my sister.I couldn't stand by you when you were fighting on your own.But you have me now. We will fight through this together. I know you don't even trust me now. But we only have each other now.You have to trust your brother."

I looked at him to see whether he was telling the truth.I saw nothing suspicious.

"I hope you are not playing with me.But I can't trust anyone completely now.Give me some time." After that we became silent.The night was unusually calm.Maybe it was to calm the chaos in my heart,or will something more happen?The calm nature suddenly started giving me omnious feeling.I looked at the sideview mirror, three black car was behind us.My mind started screaming.Although there was no evidence they were following us,I somehow knew they were Rayan's man.

"Brother, speed up.We are being followed.They reached us."

"How did they reach us so fast? How did they know you are in this car?"

"These are the question I am thinking as well. I don't know."

They were following us quietly.When my brother speed up they became fierce. Two car came on our two sides and started pushing us.

"It looks like they want to eat mashed sibling in dinner",My brother said with a bitter smile.

My brother got this car from rent a car. Its not that powerful.So in term of power and speed we are no match for them. They want me .If I step down and my brother pretends to be a stranger who was just giving a lift,maybe they will let him go.I can't endanger his life.Its' better if one of us survives. Atleast he can give mother a proper funeral .

"Stop the car.I will go and surrender."

"Are you crazy?Do you know what are you talking about?"

"I know. Its dangerous but they won't kill me .They need me. I will be alive untill they find briefcase.But if this continues none of us will survive.Give mother a proper funeral.I am counting on you."As I told them I became prepeared to surrender.

"Aayat,no. Listen to me, I can't let you commit suicide."

As soon as he stopped talking one car stopped pushing us and followed us from close.

"What the hell..."My brother and me were confused first but soon we understood the reason. On that side it was a cliff."They really want to kill us.Have they found the briefcase?" Its not possible to find it in such a short time. Don't tell me ,they have a briefcase?Did teacher make it to decieve them? Maybe.But one thing for sure. We are in great danger.I am no longer valueable to them.So my life has no gurantee. Not only I caused my mother death but also dragged my brother in this."

My brother was trying his best to controll the car.But the other car kept pushing us.So he was losing controll.But Suddenly that car also fall back before we understand anything a flash blinded us . It was coming from different direction.My brother turned stirring wheel to avoid accident.We were already on the edge of the road.That turning did the last thing.Our car fell off of the cliff. Right before falling my brother pushed me from the car. I fell on the ground and started rolling on the slope. when I stopped I was injured with many wounds.I quickly stand up to search for my brother.When I stood up I saw a explotion .A big fire was ready to devour the world.My mind went blank.My teacher, My mother, now My brother.I endured more than enough for one night.I sat on the ground .I saw that big fire that destoyed the last trace of my loved ones. Emptyness, nothingness , despair all came at once. I couldn't tolerate anymore and fainted.
