A Murderer Dream




Like many of us, Bader had a very ordinary life. There was nothing special, and for him, life could never be easier. Going to college, watching movies and visiting his father's grave every Friday is all what he had to do. However, Bader was not getting along with his mother. There was always that kind of domestic battles between them, so in summer he decided to move to his big brother's apartment. Even though Bader was always trying to show people that he was tough and didn’t care about anything or anyone, he was very sensitive in the depth of his heart, and his dream was to find a girl who could understand him and appreciate his thoughts. Some night, and while he was sleeping, he heard a very noisy sounds from the upper apartment. So he went to that apartment and knocked the door. A man opened and said" what do you want young man?" Bader replied "we're trying to sleep down there, can't you just cut that off?". As Bader was speaking, the man grabbed his nick and said "that's what happens when you live in an apartment and you'd better go to sleep now boy". Bader didn't say a word, but he was really annoyed from that man's attitude. He went back to his room and after minutes of thinking of how rude that man was, he slept. In his dream, Bader saw that man dead and he was looking at him. In the after noon, he woke up, and barely could remember his dream. He washed his face and went to the dining room where his brother was shouting" lunch". After they finished their lunch Bader's brother said" get dressed, we have to condole our neighbor". "Why who's dead?" said Bader. The big brother preceded" our neighbor in the upper apartment, his wife was trying to wake him up this morning but he didn't, poor man". Bader remembered his dream directly, and said to himself" what a coincidence!". Even though Bader had nothing to do with the death of that man; that day did not pass easily. Because he thought that the man some how died because of him. However, he gradually forgot the whole incidence. The summer passed away, and there was nothing more delightful to Bader than returning to college and seeing friends. In the first day, and during he was greeting friends, he saw a girl who attracted his attention. She looked very beautiful and conservative to him. Every since Bader saw that girl, he became obsessed of her. It looked like she completely invaded his mind and became his first priority. Bader watched her every day, every single movement and every expression she made. He just liked to watch her talking with her friends. As Bader was crazy about her, he finally found a way to introduce himself to her, and Noor wasn't so surprised because she had noticed Bader since the beginning of the semester. Days went on and in the middle of the semester they became very close to each other. They walked together, ate together and even studied together; besides, there was that kind of sweet harmony between them. Since Bader was a very polite student, he had a special relationship with all of his teachers except for one who was mean to him. Mr. Malek was an arrogant man who thought that no one could reach his standards. Bader was supposed to submit a kind of an extend course assignment, which took him two weeks to end, to Mr. Malek. But Mr. Malek with his arrogance refused to take the assignment because it wasn't perfect according to Mr. Malek's standards. That was like a big disappointment to Bader, and he even had a long argument with Mr. Malek that day which gave him nothing but rage at the end. Bader couldn't forget what happened, and he carried his agony to his dream. He saw Mr. Malek dying in front of his eyes and he couldn’t do anything. The next day he over slept, so he couldn’t make it to college. But he took advantage from that and spent the whole day rewriting the assignment. The next day he looked every where for Mr. Malek and when he asked they told him Mr. Malek died yesterday. Bader became totally speechless. Somehow the words became too heavy to be uttered. He went back home and fell in fever. Bader knew that it was him who killed those people; it was all in his cursed dream. So he refused to talk to any one even to his beloved who kept asking the big brother about him. Two weeks on that manner and the guilt almost killed Bader. Finally, the fever was gone and the suffering as well. Even though there was something eating him from inside, Bader found something else that took him out of his sorrow; it was Noor. Without hesitation, he walked to his brother and told him everything about the girl he loved, and that he wanted to marry her. The brother was very happy to see his young brother getting well and thinking of marriage. After three weeks of sickness and suffering Bader decided to get back to college and caught up what he missed. He was even more excited to see Noor and told her about his plans. In the morning, Bader got dressed and headed to collage earlier than usual. He sat in the place in which they used to sit. He was too happy that he couldn't get himself together, and he couldn’t imagine what Noor's reaction would be. Meanwhile, he saw a girl who looked like Noor walking with some guy. It was Noor's walkway but who was with her, they were holding hands, he definitely not her brother. She was smiling the smile, which she used to smile when she was with Bader. When they approached Bader she acted like she didn't see him, and he just couldn't take his eyes off that scene. He was very mad; how could she do that like she'd never met him before. She broke his heart. He felt like he was nothing and gradually surrendered to his anger. He never talked to her that day and after finishing his lectures, he went home. Even tough what Noor did turned him apart; there was still a part of her inside his heart. He was very sad because he knew what would happen at night. However he spent the day with his brother like he needed someone to embrace, and his brother was going to travel for business in the early morning. Bader preferred to swallow his pain and didn't tell anybody about what happened. At night, on bed he cried bitterly, and after two heavy hours he slept. That night passed away but Bader didn't wake up. Two other nights passed away but he never woke up again. He killed himself because in the very depth of his heart there was something belonged to Noor.
The end
