Close, But Not Close

Episode : 1 : Comprehend ; Eagle eyes

"Ahhahaha". Sounds of laughter came to my ear as I kept looking at those green eyes. As they crinkled with each wave of laughter. They were beautiful, I could see them. But couldn't comprehend the other sensation. I didn't like that. That much was the least I understood.

...****************...

"Check the other way around". Said the police. I kept looking down wearing the leather jacket. I saw two pairs of '8" poromeric shoes" coming toward me. " We have informed the detectives to be at the scene Mrs. Ayyubi . They will be here within 20 mins. I nod. "Thank you" Said as the reply. The police officer turned away. I could feel that among all present here, I was the one who was being looked skeptically the most. Those horrible eyes, as if given the chance they'd not even hesitate to rip me apart and see what's inside me. To be precise "WHAT'S GOING ON INSIDE ME ".

I could see that almost everyone has become relieved at that prospect of me being the victim, That they were at the mood of having Kebab . As might be I've been declared as the Culprit.

" Inaya , Bibi . Let's go the detectives have arrived at the scene. We need to go there, they're gonna interrogate everyone who was present there. I looked up at my husband Zain . He didn't look bothered at all he was the only one whom I could turn to in this situation. " Don't worry love. That's only they're sayings , the truth hasn't come out yet . Ok? " He hums. Repeat what I said." The truth hasn't been revealed yet". I said in a hoarse voice. Maybe from screaming too much. Earlier.

After making our way to the chamber where the detective waited, we sat on a bench. Waiting for our turn. Or more like for knocking on the door of death on it's own? i know longer know which is the truth and which is the lie. My mind kept going blank. No, no, no no noooo.....

" Mrs.s Ayyubi ! ". I heard a loud thud on the table . When I looked up the detective looking at me with eagle eyes with fisted hands as and said " we don't have the whole day to spend on you, please kindly cooperate.

*sharp voice hit me like that w**ent inside me and took everything out that were left in me . At least his satisfying gaze was saying that "what was he so satisfied for*?"

"Yes please ask me questions again, actually I can't pay attention well, I'm still dazed in that crime scene.

Mr. Kamiyama replied " I see, that's understandable but nothing can be done now , so to retaliate your best friend you have to negotiate. So why were silently watching when your friend was being chopped off by "Skive Entelor? Not only that you even called you're husband and said that you're both okay and coming" ?

"Skive Entelor" yea...right I remember him, Skive Entelor .

I opened my mouth to speak "I.....

What in the world just happened?

Episode : 2 : Just Because

"I...I can't remember anything" .

Silence fell in the room .

"Inaya , Bibi what are you saying? You were present there , watching everything -

"I , I really can't remember anything Zain " I tried not to panic but the thought of me being dragged in the jail , Zain leaving me .. I didn't want to think about that anymore.

" Well , I think , that's because, you're not the victim . Is that right Mrs. Ayyubi?

He said with sharp eagle eyes . Which made me panic even more but , why am I even panicking? I don't understand that? Is this something my subconscious mind knows but I don't? And why can't I remember anything? except...

"the only thing I remember is , my friend being dragged into the dark ally . I remember the fact of me watching my best friend killed but can't remember anything I saw".

"ok , we still aren't sure about you being the culprit but , so we're giving you time . We'll keep a close eye on you ."

...----------------...

 "Zain , I think I need to go to the doctor . It can't be that I forgot everything just in a few seconds. I must really be shocked . Please take me to the doctor. "

"ok . Calm down you're stressing so much . I know you didn't kill Maysarah. "

"Maysarah". The name kept ringing in my head . My best friend the one and only one which I had . Died. And the prime victim is me . How? When Skive Entelor killed her? Cause he's a madman . To be precise , mentally unstable. He was chained in a prison where no one could enter . Highly secured . And there's no way , someone of that kind could kill Maysara because she was a government spy . She wasn't someone to be taken down that easily , neither could Skive get out on his own , if someone didn't help him . So , the conclusion is betrayal.

And they started doubting me because I was the one present there watching my best friend getting killed not only that I even called my husband and told him we were okay and coming to the celebration of our graduation.

...****************...

"it's from the shock nothing else , you need to go to the psychologist. I hope it will help." Said the doctor.

"Did you remember anything, like even the slightest?" Asked Zain.

"hm.." I hummed. "only a little bit ".

"What part is that"?

I looked him in the eyes . His dark brown curly hairs fell down on his forehead . It meant he was extremely worried. He's light purple shade eyes looked dimmed. As if stars had vanished from the sky forever.

"Zain, let's go to the detective". My voice came out confident with hoarseness than usual .

His eyes glistened with stars again . The eyes became full of hopes.

"did you..?" He said lowly with a smile full of hopes.

"Yes." I said with firm tone though they still and a slight quiver in them.

" I remembered everything, Zain".

cease to be visible

"You remembered everything"!???

I saw him looking at me with glistening eyes more like puppy eyes.

"Yes" I said.

That's a very good news . Let's ummm let's celebrate it with some sweets .....

He kept chanting from over excitement but I have to remind him that we have to go to detective.

"Zain".

"And also , yea?"

"Let's go to the detective " I said with eyes full of emotions he couldn't comprehend I could see that because,whenever he doesn't understand anything he rises up his left eyebrow and keep his left hand on the back of his head later .

"o-oh yea,we have to got there right? Sorry I forgot".He said with a half curved smile. I felt sorry for breaking his excitement but I had to do it . And I could also say that he was feeling guilty for talking about celebrating when I had to got through this . Zain has always been like this whenever something good happened he used to get excited and when it came to me it'd come with an over before excitement.

And that's what I love the most about him

"It's okay . your these things keep me vivid after all".I said with soothening tone and rubbed a hand over his left biceps.

"ye-yea".

Zain's POV

"Ye-yea" I said with confusion not because I doubted inaya but because her behaviour. It changed all of a sudden. It's like as if she had become more sensible.

...----------------...

We reached at the detective's place .

"so you're telling me that you remembered everything, Mrs. Ayyubi. "?

"yes".

"in this short time of period "?

"As I said I had a huge mental shock which kept me from remembering things" she said boldly for some reason I really hated this personality of this detective.

"Fine,tell me what you remembered". He said after looking at inaya for a while.

"As you know I and my best friend were going to the celebration of our graduation. On the way we got dragged into a dark ally I couldn't see anything as when I was able to see things , my friend was ... " I swallowed a tear. And I frezeed cause I didn't know what to do "

"This much"?

"yes" Inaya said with hoarse voice

The detective turned to me.

I straightened my posture ,ready to take any strike he throws at us.

"What do you think of this Mr. Ayyubi"?He said with sharp voice and eyes.

"Think what?" I said almost desperately.

" Is this believable?" he said slowly circling his glass of scotch in the air

"what do you mean by that? That's what happened and you found those out everyone knows it so what's there to believe and not to believe?"I almosts shouted on him.

I looked at Inaya.She looked calm like a clam sea.Eyes on the detective thinking something.but i couldn't tell nowadays what she has been running in her mind nowadays. These looks are new on her .

"Well, that's true I take that in my account. But there's something you should know".

"What"?

Inaya looked calmly but was there a look of worries in her eyes?

"The evidences are disappearing . Those we collected and those we didn't".
