are tough nuts.
All this time, Ahmed continued to be depressed, and almost did not leave the house. His neighbors noticed this, and began to come to his house. After finding out the reason for his condition, they decided to look after him until his daughter was found. Sometimes Karima called him and asked about his condition. He replied that everything was fine, and did not want to burden anyone with worries.
On the day when Ahmed’s house was attacked, the neighbors heard gunshots – we thought it was some kind of robbers. Although what to steal from us, we are already poor. We wanted to call the police, but the police themselves arrived so quickly. How is it so to steal people in broad daylight? It remains to trust in God. Your daughter will be found. If she came back the first time, she will come back the second time. You will see.
– I do not know why, but I feel trouble.
– It is a parental instinct. You just think about it a lot. Let us go to the mosque with you and pray. I have not been there myself for a long time.
– That is a good idea.
– I will pick you up today. And we’ll go. The neighbor left. Ahmed revived thanks to the arrival of a neighbor. Communication and support of a friend that is what he lacked. It was so hard for him alone. His neighbor was about the same age as him. True, he lived with his wife. They rarely talked. But in a difficult moment, he came to support a neighbor, and Ahmed was glad to communicate.
Exactly a week has passed since the accident. Sultana was fine. Arthur’s condition stabilized, and as the investigator said, he was a tough nut to crack and opened his eyes. His eyes darted nervously from side to side; the nurse on duty quickly ran up to him and called the doctor. Arthur came to his senses, but he did not remember everything. From a strong blow to the head, there were blackouts in memory. He immediately remembered a lot, but not everything, and did not want to show it.
– You should not strain yourself so sharply. Arthur glared at the doctor. The doctor was afraid of this look and left the intensive care unit. Arthur was transferred to the ward and a new doctor took care of his health.
– «I need to recover as soon as possible.
– I understand you; it all depends on your body. If you were able to get out of the coma, then you will quickly get better. Arthur felt for a moment that he was full of strength, and was ready to return to his old life. But his strength quickly left him, and the headache made itself felt, and he went to bed.
His people were notified of his recovery, his loyal dogs rejoiced. Women murmured at the sky and poured curses on his head. Only Vina thanked God and prayed for his health.
Left alone in the ward, Arthur tried to remember the latest events. A car ride popped up in his memory, but he could not remember why and where he was being taken. Arthur went into his phone book and began to look at the latest calls, but did not dare to call. He wanted to remember everything by himself in the smallest details. His premonition told him that his affairs were bad, and it was so. His affairs were very bad. He called one of his loyal people. And his faithful dog Jamal came running to his call— – Tell me how I got here.
– It is all because of this girl. It was her you were taking to sell for one night. And this driver of yours seems to have betrayed you. He escaped. We cannot find him anywhere.
«I knew it. From overexertion, a vein swelled on his face, and he felt worse. He lay down. His health condition was actually severe. Arthur was sick and weak. There was a stubble on his face; Arthur had not shaved all these days. And the imprint of the disease added wrinkles. His appearance was not very good. His habit of combing his hair back with his left hand has remained unchanged, for all these days his hair has taken a funny shape and Arthur looked like a lion after a fight. – This girl is stealing my best people. My driver was one of the best, I trusted him, he went through so much with me, and was able to fall under her spell. When I get out of here, I will personally finish her off.
– «She’s dead. She died in an accident.
– How? Have you personally seen her corpse?
But I know for sure that her body was taken to the morgue.
– «That doesn’t mean she’s dead. I will not believe it until I see the death certificate and her grave.
– This is also impossible. She was undocumented. So she was buried as a rootless one. Especially in the form in which she was taken away. No one thought of her, so she was just buried.
– Well, if so. But it seems to me that this girl was able to escape from the morgue. I can feel it. What about my fugitive?
– We are looking for him, but he disappeared without a trace. Thanks to the faithful servant, Arthur remembered a lot, but he completely forgot about the Wine, and where he brought it.
Vina was an Indonesian citizen. Where Arthur’s business flourished quite well. It was in this country that Arthur was the king of the criminal world, and no one cared about that. He was doing so well there. In addition to all this, he appeared there so rarely that no one knew him by sight. His well-tested people were behind all his affairs. The main direction of his business was the sale of girls, mainly dancers who were ordered from him, also for personal pleasures. He simply sold them to brothels, but he himself did not like to engage in brothels. He also engaged in the purchase and sale of cars, including stolen ones, and weapons. Despite all his dirty activities, Arthur has never been involved with drugs. Once he promised himself that he would never get involved with drugs, all this because he was afraid of them himself. He was afraid to get hooked on them, and thereby ruin his life, as well as his business ahead of time. It was enough for him that he was already making good money.
The next day, Amir came to Sultana in the hope that she would allow him to show his feet. And ask a few more questions. – Hello Sultan. Sultana looked at him affably. She liked him, but she was afraid to admit it to herself, she was also afraid to bring a person closer to her for fear of causing him trouble. The story with the guy who wanted to steal her passport ended badly. The fate of the driver who saved her was unknown to anyone. The guy who couldn’t kill her father died himself, and Sultana was just afraid to let anyone help her.
– What happened to you? You are sad.
– Nothing. I am just scared.
– Why? Sultana told Amir everything she knew about the people who tried to help her.
– «I’m afraid of causing you trouble.
– Don’t be afraid. Nothing will happen to me. Anyway, we have already met, and I have already helped you. So nothing can be fixed anymore. I have something very important to tell you.
– What? Amir told the Sultan about his origin and about the gift of palmistry that he inherited from his father.
– On the opening night of the restaurant, when I first saw you, I immediately realized that you were in danger. So I ordered a table for the next evening. But when my friend and I came, you were no longer there, there was another dancer.
– «Another dancer?» Sultana uttered these words with such indignation.
– Exactly. Another. So when I first saw you, I smelled death. And I was afraid for your life. I tried to find a connection with you from the restaurant staff, but I was refused. And no one could contact you. I realized that I had lost you. And that same night I saw you in the morgue. You see, death has bypassed you. You managed to escape.
– Yes, I succeeded. But for how long? Now a new victim has been brought in my place. And when she gets tired of her, they will get rid of her as well as of me.
– «Let me examine your legs.» I can see the future and we can change it. This will help us find answers to many problems. Sultana did not decisively take off her slippers and showed her feet to Amir.
– Amir
