Today Dr. Awal had left all the office curtains down. The sunlight couldn't penetrate through the thick curtains yet one couldn't help but notice the golden light beneath it.
Truth be told Awal had to do this to make sure his incoming client would feel more relaxed but still…staying out of the sunlight is something that makes him worry more about his new "friend" more than anything.
*Knock *Knock *Knock
Three times did he hear someone knocking against his office door and three times did he refuse to pay heed to it. After some few knocks he proceeds to the door and opens it by himself, his expression somewhat twitching out of annoyance.
As the door opens he comes to face a young teen who looks far younger than 19 years. Her eyes look dull as though not even a single ray of light has shone upon them her entire life.
"Good morning ",
She said, her voice of friendliest seem a lot more forced than what he had originally anticipated.
"It's as though she fears human contact",
The Doctor noted deep into his mind.
"Good morning please come in",
He said flashing a professional smile. The professional smile is the trademark of many psychiatrists to reduce tension when discussing about the problems the client is facing.
However the effects of the smile seem to have made her more wary of him. He gestures her to take a seat on the sofa while he makes tea. The tea making part is rather new to him since this is the first time he has been met with someone as broken as the behind her.
*Paaahhh
He turns on the kettle then waits a bit before filling it halfway with water.
"Now let's begin",
He said to her even though he already had his back turned against her. Dr. Awal himself couldn't help but be more fascinated with who waits nervously behind him. He turns to face her but this time his hands aren't empty.
"Thanks for the tea",
She said but doesn't accept the cup, Awal too has no option but forfeit on his first idea. He sets the two cups aside then proceeds to do his job.
"Why did you lie about your name?",
He asked and for the first time there is a show of a new emotion on her face, her lips curl into a smile.
"Yeah I lied about my name so what?",
Her change from fascination to nonchalant instantly baffles the doctor as his jaw goes slack because of the disrespectful attitude.
The girl in front of him isn't as simple as he thought.
"She must have faked her information on the PDF the hospital sent me",
Awal thought in his head.
"You know something…what you are doing can get you killed",
The doctor looks at the girl in fascination before her words
"Killed?",
The words slip out from his lips a tingling sensation of fear creeps into his body, a murderous aura blocks the air in his lungs as an intense heat like fire burns his body. Fear is eating him from both directions(in and out).
"Curiosity they say kills the cat",
The aura decreases as the feeling of helplessness on the part of Awal grows so much that he can't look her in the eye.
"Don't worry I don't have time to murder the innocent",
She sighed, her fatigue visibly plastered on her face. What she did took quite a lot from her. It takes some time for Awal to return to his normal self but still there is fear in his eyes.
"You seem awfully calm for someone who was sweating in fear a second ago"
Awal releases an awkward chuckle at her. Through his job in Ghana this isn't the first time someone had tried to murder him. Last month he was stabbed and left to die yet here he is again sitting next to a visa to hell(his client).
"Not my first time",
He smirks but this time it is normal and kind of cool if one was to say. Anxiously the girl bites her lower lip with a bitter expression on her face. For the first time in his career this is actually someone who knows how to feel regret after harming him.
"My name is Kira",
She said. Now Awal knew the actual session is about to start so he keeps his head clear in anticipation.
"In 2006 a group of highly successful scientists took in me and five other kids in anticipation of finding how to cure this world of corruption but it feels like this isn't for me. I have the mind of both a scientist and a killer at the same time. Right now I have seen more than 25 ways of murdering you right now.",
She pauses to see how Awal is feeling but he has instantly blacked out because of the 25 ways thing.
"Well so much for therapy",
She sighs and makes an exit out from the office, as she made it outside the building her phone buzzed. Not one for call but for a message.
"The Nameless one must make himself known to the world",
A message that is used when there is an a dirty job to be done, killing or arresting people based on their crime. In this one the Nameless one is seen as a deity like a god who passes judgment on those who do great evil against others and also against themselves.
