The voice that calls me.. Part 2

Wait and watch

- “When will you be back from work?”

(Venus) is not accustomed to asking me this question except when she is intending to go out, so that she returns before me, because she knows that I cannot bear her not being at home when I arrive!

- “I don’t know. Today I have an important interview with one of my clients in Alexandria. I may be gone until the end of the day, but I will be here in the evening!”

She kisses me on the mouth and hugs me, saying:

- “Don’t be late.. I will wait for you!”

All these years since our marriage, I still find it difficult to resist this magic when she hugs me, and I find it even more difficult to extract myself to leave for work after this hug!

- "Where are you going?"

- “I will visit my family.. I have not seen them for about two weeks.. Since you will be late, I will spend the day with them. Call me by phone when you leave Alexandria back...”

- “Give them my regards!”

- "I will!"

Then hug me again!

(Kamal Hanafi)... a natural criminal, but he is a tramp. He is just a corrupt young man who was involved in a rape case, but I intervened and saved him from prison, and I need him from time to time to do some dirty work that no one is good at doing except him. I will not ask him to monitor (Venus) Because I do not trust him at all to keep the matter secret, but I will ask him to keep an eye on him (Mustafa)... to know where he will go..

I will not go to Alexandria as I told her, I will stay somewhere waiting for the required call..

Here is Kamal calling me:

- "He left his house and headed to the office, but he did not stay quickly. He took a taxi to the engineers. He stopped in front of a building on ........ Street."

Oh, my God!

I know this street well.. I know the building.. It is the apartment that I gave to Venus on our husband’s second birthday.. Why does he go there?!

No...the most important question is: Is she there?

I cannot trust Kamal Hanafi and ask her to keep an eye on her. Moreover, he does not know her at all, and it is better that he does not know her. It is better for him to leave and I will go there myself!

- “Thank you, Kamal. Wait until I come, then go. Tell me if he leaves the building before I arrive!”

It took more than half an hour until I arrived, in a crowded road. Fortunately, I did not commit an accident despite my terrible mental and nervous state.. (Kamal) reassured me that he had not left yet, more than half an hour while he was there. Is this really reassuring? Is she with him?!

We exchanged roles. I remained in the observer position, and he left. There is a café nearby. I can see the entrance to the building while I am sitting in it! This location is very convenient to see!

Another half hour passed.. A third half hour.. He still hasn't come out.. The third cup of coffee. I feel a burning desire to urinate, but I can't. Maybe he will leave the moment I go to the bathroom. I have to wait..

The fourth half hour, the bastard has completed two hours, their words are reassuring because they know that I am in Alexandria now..

But I think: (Venus) cannot betray me. I gave her everything... everything... How did she fall behind those doubts? How did I allow an unknown person to mess with my mind and accuse my beloved?!

The phone rings... an unknown number... it's him...

- "What do you want?"

I try to shout it, but I can't get attention!

- “(Alaa), my friend.. Don’t forget that you are now sitting in front of the building that contains the apartment of your beautiful icon. What makes your assistant and loyal student come to this building?! Don’t tell me it is a coincidence? It will be a somewhat strange coincidence, in addition to the perfume coincidence.” "Eh!"

He laughs in a provocative way, he is provocative to the extreme! I will not answer him, I will end the call immediately..

As if he was reading my thoughts:

- “Yes... it's okay, you can end the call now so you can devote yourself to monitoring...”

Damn you!

Half hour five, my bladder is about to burst, I want to pee... Oh my God! Here is that traitorous bastard actually leaving.. He was really there.. (Kamal) did not make a mistake, more than two hours while he was there! And with whom?! Now I have to wait until I know if she is there or not.

The phone rings again, an unknown number.. What does he want now?!

- “I want you to calm down... You are already afraid of her, and what I fear most is that fear will continue and go deeper inside you... But the matter requires more cohesion from you. Do not forget that you are (Alaa Abdel Wahed) the one who shakes the courtrooms with your entry and pleadings!”

Yes, I remember this. I haven’t forgotten it at all. In fact, you are the one who makes me nervous, not her.. Who are you?! Tell me now, you bastard!

- “There is no time for that now. If what I think is true, she is about to leave.”

You...! Oh, my God! Here she is.. She is already leaving now.. I see her clearly in front of me.. She is wearing her most charming and elegant clothes, and those black glasses hide her impudent eyes. I can almost smell her perfume from here. She is walking away from the building with quick steps, pointing to a taxi, which did not come. With her car, she is very cunning.. She is gone now and I am left alone..

Doubt was cut short with certainty... She was already there!

She was there!

The scoundrel is still on the line:-

- “Now you know what I wanted to tell you for a long time... (Venus) is cheating on you and with whom? With your loyal student and faithful assistant..”

Shut up you bastard!

- “You got what you wanted...I knew what you needed to know, and what you should have known a long time ago!”

Oh, my God! What do I do?!

I must kill her.. I must kill them both!

- “No...don’t be reckless...”

What recklessness? She was sleeping with a boy who worked for me. I will kill them for their betrayal. Should I let them enjoy thier betrayal?!

- “I see the whole picture, unlike you.. It is not about the law and its punishment. Think of your picture in front of your class. (Venus), your diamond icon. It turns out that she is cheating on you with your young assistant, and you are a fool who knows nothing.. Imagine your picture in front of them. Most of them envied you for it. Now guess. What will be said about you... You are a very famous and successful person, you will be the talk of the whole country like......!”

Shut up, you bastard.. Oh my God! What do I do? His words are very logical... but wait... how long have you known, you bastard? Why didn't you tell me directly?

- “Since I started contacting you... the problem is that you also knew, and you deluded yourself that you did not know!”

Not true.. If I had known, I would have killed her from the first moment!

- “I don’t think you can kill her...even though she deserves to be killed!”

Yes, I will kill her and him.

- “For some reason I think you're going to kill yourself!”

impossible! I'm killing myself for a bitch!! You're senile..

- "We'll see!"

Shut up.. Don't talk to me again.. I will act, and show you that I am not that easy!

I will kill them both...but I will start with him first to burn her heart over him! Then make her wish herself death!

Give and take

They say: Everything requires a return, except love... for it is an unrequited gift!

But what about sincerity? Is it a return for this love, or one of its requirements and consequences?

What I do know is that I really loved you, Venus! I loved you very much.. I loved you more than you can imagine or I can imagine.. and I did not betray you for a moment, because I did not see a female in the world except you!

And I will conquer you with this love!

First confrontation

- “You killed him, you bastard!”

(Venus) is angry... (Venus) is sad! This satisfies me greatly!

- "Yes, I was the one who killed him! I killed your lover, you whore... You think I won't know!"

(Kamal Hanafi) His ambition does not stop there. I offered him a large sum of money, and he agreed immediately without hesitation. The police found the scoundrel (Mustafa) slaughtered in the entrance of one of the buildings. I do not know how (Kamal) lured him there, nor how he got away with it. Without anyone noticing him, what matters to me is that he succeeded in his mission, no one caught him, and the traitor received his punishment... and your turn will soon come, you bitch...

- “You pathetic scoundrel!”

Her tone changed, she was mocking me hard!

- “Do you think that Mustafa is my only lover? They are more than you can imagine, and I choose them carefully!”

You admit your lowliness, you bitch, so boldly?

- “I will kill them all, and I will kill you!”

- “You cannot... because you will not know them! This body has tested dozens of men over the past years, from different classes.”

She's provoking me... She's making me angry... She wants me to kill her now!

- “Why, you whore? I pulled you and your family from the bottom, gave you status and value, and made you a princess after you were waiting for your turn in line to be raped or perverted, or to sell your body to a shop owner who would hire you for a few pennies!”

- “Do not pretend to be virtuous, old man. You know as well as I do that you did not want me as a wife, but rather a tie, or a necklace, with which to adorn your appearance in sophisticated circles, and I gave you this in the best possible way... Do not deny this, old man.. I don't owe you anything. I gave you what you wanted willingly and in public, and I got what I wanted too, but in secret... Now if you want us to continue together, I will get what I want with your knowledge, and if you want to end what is between us, choose any way you want, I don't care. "It's too much"

What a.......!

She defeats me...subjugates me...dominates me...leads me wherever she wants!

No.. I will not surrender to you, you bitch, and I will not let you defeat me.. I am not the one who can be defeated by anyone, especially a bitch like you..

I will manage your affairs, and find the appropriate punishment for your crime!

The dead battery

The truth is that I was actually defeated in front of you, Venus. You actually defeated me... with minimal effort, and I thought I was invincible.

Now I don't know what to do? I have fallen into a deep abyss. I have lost my balance and control over anything. Fortunately, they attribute the reason to my grief over the killing of my loyal student and assistant. They console me and their consolation kills me, just as your steadfastness and defiance kill me!

I'm collapsing, I'm collapsing, and I'm losing everything, and the reason is you, Venus.

- “Face the truth, old man! You are fake. Everything in your life is fake. Everything people know about you and see in you is fake. Face the truth for once in your life, but you know that it is uglier and more horrific than you can face it. But you will definitely fall.” !

You have truly fallen, Venus, but at your hands. I can kill you, and at the same time I cannot. I can get rid of you in the worst ways and throw you to the dogs, but I cannot. You are much stronger than me. So I cannot face you. And in At the same time I can't escape!

I cannot bear to see you in front of you, nor to see your sexy body that others are messing with, nor your charming face that people's eyes have filled with up close. I flee to the office, but my mind is not here..

I am received by Mukhtar, my senior lawyer and my first assistant.

- "Where are you? I've called you repeatedly, and your phone is off!"

My phone? I forgot to charge its battery a long time ago, and it became a dead body. I forgot everything I needed, I even forgot to eat, drink, or shower!

I lost my mind.. I lost everything..

- “We have a court session tomorrow in the case of.........”

I don't remember any case, I forgot my cases, I forgot my work, and I forgot everything..

Are you one of them, Mukhtar? Did you sleep with Venus like others I don't know?

- “Give me a few minutes so I can rest.”

But how do I rest? Nothing can comfort me now..

The phone rings... an unknown number... it's him...

- “This is what I was afraid of from the beginning... that you would show your weakness in front of her!”

Shut up.. You claim that you want to help me, while you are participating in besieging me and slaughtering me..

- "I want to help you, but you're not helping yourself."

Tell me who you are first, and how do you know all this?

(Mukhtar) knocks on the door and enters before I answer.. I said: No one will enter me..

- “Tomorrow’s session is very important. It may determine the fate of the case. You must wake up for yourself and your work.”

He looks at me surprised, his tone changes:

- “Were you talking on the phone?”

Yes.. and I will end the call with that unknown person now. Why are you surprised? What's strange about me talking on the phone?!

- "How did you charge your battery so quickly? It was empty, as you told me!"

What?!

#

Many strange things happen in this world.

But it is not one of them to make a phone call to an unknown person, while your phone battery is completely empty!!

you don't even exist at all

I won't let anyone manipulate me, not you, not Venus.

She is the one who sent you.. Yes, she.. No one knows about me what you know except her. She is the one who has been manipulating me from the beginning. She wanted me to know about her betrayal, and she knows what will happen to me when I find out. How could I have been so naive and not paid attention to her tricks? Or is she more malicious and cunning than I imagined?

But how come your number does not appear in the call log? How did you make that call with me and my phone without battery?

You're manipulating me just like her!

- “What manipulation are you talking about, you idiot? You are the one manipulating yourself... What phone? And what calls? I do not need to communicate with you through a phone, I am inside you, in your head, and in your heart..”

Stop it, you won't fool me again.

- “You are the one who deceives yourself all the time, imagining that someone is talking to you on the phone, someone who knows about you everything you know about yourself, and what you do not know that you know.. Someone who reveals to you what you cannot discover on your own, someone who covers your weakness, and justifies your behavior and actions... You would not trust anyone but yourself... except you, which is me!”

Enough.. Enough.. I will not allow you to deceive me again. I am not crazy to talk to myself, and I am under the illusion that it is someone else, and I am not stupid or foolish to believe this absurdity!

- “(Alaa), my friend... Do not forget that we are speaking now on a cell phone without a battery... Then the problem is more complicated than madness and stupidity. The problem lies in your weakness in front of your icon. You knew that she was betraying you and you did not dare to confront her. You did not even dare to confront her.” You thought about

that, and invented another character to tell you... You always make sure to appear in front of everyone as a strong, controlling, successful person thanks to your skill, intelligence, and abilities, only to find yourself in the position of a husband who is deceived in his wife, and does not even dare to confront her or punish her.. And when she confronted you with the truth, you lost all of your remaining cohesion and balance.

This can't be true.. I'm not crazy.. I'm not weak.. I'm not...!

And the sound? This is not my voice..

- “Rather, it is your voice...but you are deluding yourself otherwise, as usual!”

Oh, my God! The voice has changed, and it actually resembles my voice!!

- “Rather, it has been your voice from the beginning... because I am you.”

This is crazy!!

- “Forget all this...and listen to what I tell you from our first contact.”

What do you mean?

- "Don't you kill yourself... Kill her... She deserves to be killed! You can hire someone like I did a few days ago, if you are unable to do it yourself!"

No... I am not this weak and helpless. I am not the one fleeing from a traitorous, prostitute wife. Without me, she would have been nothing. I created her, and I will eliminate her myself... with my own hands...

- "Don't be reckless!"

Shut up, you don't even exist at all.

No more fake calls!

The last confrontation

I will kill you, Venus, with my own hands... and I will kill my weakness...

I, Alaa Abdel Wahed, a man of law, a capable lawyer, an expert university professor, and a wealthy and influential person, will not be prey to a prostitute whom you brought from the bottom of the city and made of her a princess in a palace. You are the fake, not me, Venus. You think you are a lady. Society, and you are nothing but a prostitute.

I will kill you and make it seem as if a thief broke into the house and surprised you on his way. He killed you and fled without anyone being able to catch him. I have prepared my plan well. I will scatter some of the contents of the room after I kill you, break the glass of one of the windows, and I will provide some witnesses who will swear I was with them when the crime happened.

Yes, the story is simple and precise. You are done, Venus!

- “Hahaha.. Are you really going to kill me?”

Are you laughing, bitch? Are you being brave at this moment, with my gun pointed at your head?

- “Yes, I will kill you. This is the just punishment. You know that I am a lawman who serves justice.”

She looks at me defiantly, this is strange.. She is supposed to look in terror, and kneel at my feet begging, and ask me for mercy..

- “Do you think you'll get away with this?”

I have arranged everything, I am a brilliant lawman, no one will find a loophole that will make them doubt me..

- "I didn't mean the law, old man. I meant, will you save yourself? Will you be able to live with your crime?"

I will be fine.. Rest assured.. Thank you for your concern. I will manage well after you leave, and I will continue my life without you, and I will not trust any other prostitute after today.

- “No.. it will not happen.. and you will not survive.. you will not be able to kill me no matter what you do, even if you shoot me, and even if the bullets settle in my body and my soul dies, I will stay with you, I will pursue you for life, you will never be able to get rid of me. Do you know why?

She challenges me.. Where does she get that strength?

- “Because I am your magic icon, which you will not be able to remove from your mind or your heart...no matter what you do! I am the one who will kill you, not you!”

The phone rings...unknown number...

It's him... it's me... why did he call back? I told him: I will finish the matter myself!

- “Don’t listen to her, don’t look into her charming eyes, pull the trigger.”

Yes, I will do it now..

- “Come quickly. Don’t let her control you.”

Yes, I will not allow her.. I will end the matter now..

- “Come on then... pull the trigger. Shoot...”

I will.. I will.. It's over, you...!

Stop, you...

What is this?! What's going on?!

Something is pulling my finger away from the trigger, something invisible.

- "There's nothing, you idiot. It's you!"

No, believe me, there is a hidden force that prevents me from pulling the trigger. Oh my God, there is someone twisting my arm towards my head.

- “No one is twisting your arm. You are the one doing this. Get up for yourself!”

I cannot. It is a force greater than me, turning my wrist to point the gun at my head. The nozzle of the gun is directed to the position directly above my ear.

- “Hold on, you wretch. Regain control of yourself.”

Oh my God, what's going on? Is she a witch? The nozzle of the gun sticks to my head... something pushes my finger over the trigger, causing the bullet to fire!

- “Don’t do that, you idiot. Don’t kill yourself. Kill her. She deserves to be killed, not you!”

I can't resist.. I can't..

This look in her eyes, she is ecstatic, she is the one in control, she is the one who will kill me, not me, as she said herself.. That evil smile on her beautiful lips..

She is the one who will kill me.. She is the one who will kill me!

Stop, you...!

The End
