Chapter 17

 The following week, it was her birthday, and she could only tell her parents that she wanted a big party and also Saab Avil, her aunt's husband, to be present.

Sahil felt happy to have received the invitation two days before the deal day, and he traveled back to Pakistan the next day, staying at Priya's grandmother's house. He told the old woman his reason for coming, and the woman was happy that he chose to honor the invitation of his dead brother's lover.

He arrived at Amilda's house on the faithful day and was greeted by her father who apologized for his sister's behavior.

"It's alright, Saab Javidan." He said and looked around.

"Where is Amilda?" He asked.

"She will be out soon," Yash said.

Minutes later, the house was full.

Sahil looked to his back and what he saw made him amazed.

He saw Muni handcuffed with three police, two by her side and one at her back.

Minutes later, Amilda walked out and Yash welcomed them all to the party and introduced the celebrant.

He told everyone to be sitted in which they all sat as the living room was filled. Everyone sat except Muni and the police.

Yash avoided looking at his sister as he knew that she would soon be executed.

Amilda walked forward and thanked everyone for coming, then thanked Sahil, especially for coming. She told them some jokes and stories of her life, then walked to her seat.

The party took an hour as they prayed, danced, played games, and discussed.

The policemen left with Muni thirty minutes into the party, so the party didn't end with their presence.

After the party, Sahil walked up to Amilda and congratulated her.

"I had to honor this invite as a way of honoring my dead brother," Sahil said and Amilda smiled.

"Thank you for that," Amilda said.

Sahil looked back and smiled.

"Did you invite that witch?" He asked and Amilda nodded her head.

"But why?" He asked.

"The court has made their decision to execute her, so I thought of her coming over so as to regret her action before her death," Amilda said, and Sahil nodded.

"You are a nice girl. I pray no evil befalls you." Sahil said.

Sumitra walked out to them and smiled.

"Saab Avil!" She called and Sahil looked at her.

"I was told to give you this." She said, handing Sahil an envelope that he collected.

He looked into the envelope and shook his head giving her back the envelope.

"You should take it if you really want to honor Amilda. It is our only way to say we are sorry for your loss." Yash said and Sahil held it.

"Thank you." He said then left.

Amilda looked at her father and smiled.

"That's the right thing to do, Dad." She said, nodding, and her father smiled.

Minutes later, the father and daughter sat alone in the living room.

Amilda looked at her father's penis region and smiled as she imagined how it would look like when brought out of the trouser.

"No, I can't continue staring at his trousers," Amilda thought. "He is my father, and it won't be good if I do that, as it will attract punishment from Allah if I get to sleep with him."

She cleared her throat making her father look at her.

"I would like to go to my room now." She said and her father nodded.

She got up from the couch and walked into her room.

Getting into the room, she shut the door close and walked to her bed.

She smiled looking at the ceiling.

"I am sure you are glad that I am inviting your brother." She said silently.

She laid on her bed trying to get some sleep but couldn't as she kept thinking of how the penis inside her father's trousers was going to look like.

"I can't keep thinking of this. I will have to stay away from father for the time being so that I won't have sex with him betraying both mother and Allah." Amilda said to herself, then opened her eyes, looking at the ceiling.

"Help me not to have it with father." She said and smiled.

Minutes later, she slept off and woke up an hour later.

She got up from her bed and walked out of her room, unlocking the door.

On getting to the living room, she froze immediately when she saw her father.

"Amilda, what's up?" Her father asked, and she closed her eyes, shaking her head.

"I want to be alone." She said.

"Alright," Yash said and left to his room.

Amilda walked to a couch and sat down.

"I miss you, Aayan. If only you are alive then I won't have to go through this." She said. "But all for you, I will still do it with other men except my Dad and your brother. I wish your brother would just choose to marry me, but he is a lot older than me."

She picks up a book and begins to read, and then her thoughts go to her aunt.

"She is going to be hanged in two days and I wonder why I am thinking of her." Amilda thought to herself then felt sad.

"Why do I feel sad?" She asked herself.

She thought for some minutes then looked up.

Looking up, she saw her mother along with her father and her stare went directly to her father's trouser.

"This is wrong." She said to herself then looked at her mother's face.

"Amilda, we would like to have a discussion with you." Her mother said and Amilda looked at her.

"Yes, you may go on." She said and her parents both walked to a couch.

"You are now 18 years of age, and we would love for you to start your college education..." Sumitra was saying.

"Next year." Amilda interrupted.

The couples looked at themselves and then at their daughter.

"You choose next year." Her father said.

"Yes, Father, I am still worried about some things that should be solved next year," Amilda said and her parents nodded.

"We should get you a business to do as you aren't married yet." Her mother said and Amilda smiled.

"I already have a business." She said making her parents shocked.

"What type of business?" Her father asked.

"I can't let you know yet but trust me, it's worth a lot," Amilda said and got up from the couch.

She walked into her room and locked the door. She walked to her bed, sat down, and looked up.

"I told them that I have a business. I would love to earn from sleeping with men so that they won't be equal to you." Amilda said and hugged her bed cover tight.

"I love you, Aayan, and I wish to meet you in paradise." She said and closed her eyes.

She didn't sleep but decided to stay like that for some minutes.

Few minutes later, she began to feel feverish.

"What is this?" She asked herself and got up from the bed.

She walked to her bathroom and washed her face. She felt more worse as she finished washing her face.

"What is wrong with me?" She asked herself. "Can I be pregnant?"

She shook her head. She remembered a test kit that Aayan had gotten for her two weeks after her aunt started maltreating her.

"You should use it like this to know if you are pregnant or not." He heard said that day and Amilda had kept it safe.

Amilda ran to the box she had kept it and brought out one from the pack.

Minutes later, the test kit showed that she was pregnant.

"Who is the father of this child?" She asked herself and shook her head.

"If the child is Aayan's then he needs to die as his father is dead. I can't be pregnant for those two men because I do not know anything about them. I have to murder this child so as to be able to live my life."

She walked to the door and opened it. She took out of the money that was given to her as birthday gift and walked to the living room.

She was asked by her mother where she was going, and she chose to lie to her.

"Alright, you may go," Her mother said and she left.

She got an abortion drug from a road side doctor while she disguised herself.

She walked home quickly so as not to be suspected by her mother, who she knows has begun suspecting her movement, but could not do anything considering her husband's promise.

She got home and immediately walked into her room. She locked the door and took the required dosage.

She fell to the bed and groaned in pain as she felt pain in her hip.

Minutes later, the pain went down and Amilda noticed that she was bleeding.

She walked into the bathroom and washed herself up.
