THE REVERT 11

 Gilman pulled Brian to the side.

- What's going on boss? 

- What do you mean? Brian replied pretending to be surprised.

-  "Dont play that game with me. I know you too well by now. I saw you roaming around Saba's cousin past few hours. If I am not mistaking, you were having a talk with her. What is it about?"

-" I was just curious about her. She is quite interesting and smart. Now please excuse me!" Brian took a sip of the wine and left.

Gilman stood there for a good minute or two. He still can't believe his ears.' Some woman sounds interesting to Brian! It gotta be very bad.' Gilman thought. 'Should I call for help. Damn! I don't want this in my engagement party.' Confused Gilman left to look for Brian.

------------

Rocky, Brian, Gilman, Saba and rose are sitting in the sunroom with beer. The elders are in the living room including Ruby.

-" This girl is becoming more and more annoying every day. " Saba said while looking at Ruby in the living room. 

-"Tell me about it. I have to put up with this every single day in the house. Her change is radical. She almost changed herself within a month. It scares me, really!" Rocky looked concerned.

-"If you don't mind me asking, why does her changes scare you? You should be happy, she is trying to practice your religion." Brian asked while observing Rocky carefully.

-" Man! My sister wasn't like this. She was just like any other modern American girl. Being religious is good but that much extreme is a suicide. She is killing her future. You should see how she used to look Brian. Let me see if I can find a picture of her. She stopped taking pictures after that but I might have one. Here you go!" Rocky handed his phone to Brian. 

- Taking the phone, Brian took a quick look at it. Undoubtedly she is a beauty. Brian thought. He thought for a minute and did something strange. He deleted Ruby's picture from Rocky's phone.                 "I am so sorry. I think I deleted your sister's picture by mistake. Can you recover it somehow?"Brian said while handing the phone back to Rocky.

-"No worries! I am not interested in keeping her picture anyway."

-"Guys, we should  do something about it. I think Ruby is in some sort of mental stance. We should get her out of it for her own good." Saba said.

-" I am listening. Continue!" Rocky leaned forward.

-" What if we take off her mask or cover off in front of everyone. Once she is out of it, it would be easy for her to stay without it. She will start thinking different." Saba suggested.

-" Great idea!" Rocky replied. " Let's do it now! You get Ruby over here. I'll support you. My parents will support it as well."

Saba left with excitement. 

Sitting on the couch, Brian shook his head. ' This is a bad idea. If I am not wrong, disaster is coming. I gotta get Gilman.' Brian got up and sat next to Gilman.

The Love 10 (short story)

Looking out through the window May felt like her whole life has turned dark just like this dark night. Only difference is, every dark night is followed by a morning but the darkness of her life isn't going to be replaced by the glowing morning. "May" a call from her father brought her back to reality. "We are home sweetheart. Let's get out." Shuruq put his hand around May's shoulder while carrying his grandson on the other.  Shuruq opened the front door with the key and escorted his yougest daughter to her room.  "Take rest! You daddy is still alive. Don't worry!" Shuruq kissed May's forehead and left. Putting her son on bed, May slowly got up, careful enough not to break his sleep. She stood in front of the standing mirror of her room. The very mirror, she used to use to make herself pretty every day. Now, she sees the reflection of a young woman who has bruises on her cheeks and a bit of blood at the corner of her lips. She can't ...

THE LOVE 12

May's s sleep broke with the morning Ray hitting her face. She raised her hand to cover her face from the sun's glare. Took a few minutes to realize that she is sleeping on the floor. After tahajjud and morning prayer, she didn't feel like going to bed. The mind became heavier than the body could bear. Getting up from the floor, May gathered everything and tucked them away.  " I have a decision to make" she said to herself. The prayer really helped to clear up her mind but she still needs to talk to someone. The friend who has always been by her side and guide her through the critical situation, Sarah.  "I hope she is up by now." --------- With three rings, Sarah picked up the phone.  . "Assalamualaikum, sweetheart. How are you? How is everything in Brooklyn?" - "waalaikumsalam, alhamdulillah! We are fine. How are you?" A sigh escaped May's lips. . " Your words don't match your voice, May. Tell me what's going on? You...
