( Love a little bit and hate a little bit..when People are in extreme love , they broke down)

Hassan Al-basry

Her eyes met her counterpart on the reflective surface, while she wascombing her long, dense, ultra-soft black bristles. This black crown on her head is the most beautiful thing she has as a female. she doesn’t have the ingredients of stark beauty, or maybe she convinced herself with that ! . long body with a blistering femininity, and black silk up to the end of her back, so what is she missing to become a crowned queen?! It’s simply her face. She does not trust it . its sharp features don’t fit with a female overflowing with affectionate female energy from the inside, so sometimes she feels that she has something of a manhood!. She was thinking... If my nose was accurate, if my eyes were wider, if my lips were a little swollen, I’d definitely be a lot nicer! . She reassured herself that she could change her face with a cosmetic surgeon, only when she has money , but now she will use her cosmetic tools, for quick and temporary surgery! . She unified the color, then added black here, pink here and red there, then after she finished and looked at her face again, she found it absolutely fine, already looking like a queen after that quick surgery.

she got up from her usual long session before he came. she looked around. Everything is clean, elegantly tidy, a fragrant smell fills the apartment’s ambience, and a delicious lunch was prepared .. actually no woman can compete with her in cooking. Perhaps she is indeed the perfect wife that any man aspires to. she was caring about her appearance to the fullest extent, until it reaches the point of obsession, even though she doesn’t trust her beauty, or more precisely, because she doesn’t trust her beauty!. Her house was a verse of cleanliness and arrangement and her food was the tastiest food you may eat .

This was Taqyia who married ahandsome architect nearly four years ago. A marriage that has not yet resulted in kids . the happy marital home was in the city of Isfahan south of Tehran.. Iran’s capital. Taqyia grew up, learned and graduated from university, but she was a woman who didn’t believe that a woman had a life of her own. she didnot believe that woman learns, reads , works , meets with her friends, she does everything a man does as independent entity . Taqyia believed that everything she does , is for the man who would be her husband. she reads only to look educated in front of him .she learns only to have a man of prestige. Everything she does is just for him. she was so lover woman to rare and extreme level .

After she got married, she was stationed in her kingdom for her husband, who was conservative . it was not allowed to her to go out much or engage in outside society. In fact, it didn’t harass Taqyia , as she saw it as a kind of jealousy that every female likes . so even if he imposed the restraint on her, she didn’t mind at all.

her husband was very kind and affectionate with her, and if you looked at them you would only see honest lovers. he was her planet and she was his moon which was orbiting in constant orbit and did not derail . she was sure that all love inside her was a mirror of what was inside him .

she heard the sound of the doorbell and smiled.she looked at her counterpart on the reflective surface, and then she rushed to receive her own star!

Their breaths accelerated as they continued their journey out of the flowering ground. This stress was not only because of the previous land that drained their power , but also because the road they were walking on had begun to take an upward trajectory, as if they were climbing a mountain, until they reached its edge and stopped successively . Well, rainbow is known to appear in the sky, but that time it was printed on the vast plain of the ground below! . They found on their right a twisted passage, which would take them to this rainbow land below, so without thinking , they started landing one by one.

The first color space their foots set on was the red color that overwhelmed everything. Soil, trees, weeds, flowers, even leaves and stems were bloody red. The four rushed to the fruits as their hunger reached a great level, then they sat in sparse places nearby devouring them. Taqyia was the most saddened and influenced by Aung’s farewell, so the taste of sweet red fruits mixed with the salinity of her fallen tears from time to time. Asia noticed that and approached her, even though she had nothing to say, except that it was Aung Station, and that they would all be catching up with her soon.she looked forward and found Milan looking at them, with desperate empty eyes and with a semi-open mouth like crazy person , he seems about to lose his mind as well. Then without realizing that , she found her eyes looking for Ramo, but she didn’t replace him around so she got up to see where he went.

She moved in slow steps exploring the place, searching by her eyes in its corners , when she glimpsed Ramo beside a trunk of a tree. he was touching his head with his fingertips and concealing his forehead by the palm of his hand. Asia hid behind a tree to curiously watch him. seconds passed and then Ramo took his hand off the front of his head and his forehead tattoo was perfectly lighted !

****

At this time of day, she was practicing what she used to do daily with the same tireless routine... Cleaning the house. Like a bee she was spreading here and there, gathering scattered items and puttingthem in their right places, wiping the dust off furniture, wiping down the floor in all parts of the apartment. she entered her husband’s office room to do the same things. She arranged the paperwork and books on the desk and wipped the dust off the laptop. It was closed so she opened it to wipe the dust inside, and then before she closed it , she stopped . Taqyia was leaded by a female curiosity to see the world of Zian her husband ! But this world was locked by an empty rectangle that required a secret password to enter.

She stood while reflecting on this rectangle that separates her from the world of Zian .

She tried to enter the password that her husband is using with the cupboard of the house. There are people who use the same password for more than one thing because their memory is weak. It was few dark minutes on Taqyia after all secrets of her Zian was revealed. she resealed the computer with a heart that was sore! She went to her kitchen with two shivering legs to finish lunch, despite her condition, but that time she was not very good at doing the role of perfect wife.

After her husband came and sat down to eat, he seemed to be unsatisfied with food which was unusually bad for the first time. He told her tightly :

- The meat tastes so bad, what happened to you?

She was so rigid , but she responded quickly:

- Sorry Zian, I was tired today.

-Your face is unusually variable. Has something happened?

-No, I’m just tired.

He got up from his session angerily and said as he left the table:

- I am in a stressful job and you sit at home all day, the least thing you have to offer me, good food and face smiling, is that difficult? !

He went to his room and she kept sitting in her place like a statue . He thinks that she is sitting at home drowned in comfort and bliss, he doesnot know the daily effort between those walls, because every time she finished everything before he came.He expects that this house is always clean and stylish like that without any hands stretching to it. what upset her not the lack of appreciation, but those scenes she found on hiscomputer. How does she deal with him after his image shook in her eyes? Zian is a religious conservative man and she has no doubt about that , So why his computer was filled with these pornographic films? She put her hands on her face and thought that ...she maybe the cause ! The idea filled her mind and settled down. Yeah, I’m such loser woman .. I didnot cover all my husband needs so he looked forward to complete the missing part by his own. despite this pain she had , she decided to fix it, because she’s the woman, and because she holds everything accountable over her head, even her husband’s moral commitment.. she is responsible for it! , so she painted an automated smile on her face and got up to satisfy him, yeah... You must not fill his life with frowns, you must smile.. Just for him!

＊＊＊

She slowly retreated back so as he does not pay attention to her existence. she was suspicious of him from the beginning, who is he? Or what is he ? He acts very rationally amid all these dangers, which they have met since they set foot on the island beach, and this glowing tattoo on his forehead, he glows only in the moment before death, as she saw with Bilal and Aung. many thoughts passed by her , will she tell Taqiya and Milan to gather against him, they could clamp down on him until he acknowledged everything he was hiding. He might have known the secret of this place and had the key out of it, but despite her doubts about his person, something inside her was telling her that he was not the evil she would expect.

In strides, she continued to walk until she saw Taqyia who was sitting on her knees behind some plants watching something. she turned her face to meet the eyes of Asia . She put her finger on her lips, in a signal to Asia to stay calm then pointed at her to get closer. Asia moved slowly until she became next toTaqyia , so she took the same position and saw what she saw.

they were there in that red spot. they was sticking to each other , standing upright and swaying slowly. Their skins were very white and their bodies without any female terrain, on their heads there were glowing red leather braids, and their faces were hurling terror in hearts . Have you seen the face of the pigment-stained clown? And his colorful red fake smile stretching from the ear to the ear? Well, this is the shape of their natural faces without pigments!

The two women trembled from the majestic scene and carefully retreated until they reached Milan and Ramo, who were sitting on the ground . Asia looked at Ramo’s face and she found his tattoo extinguished . she was hesitated to tell everyone about him but she didnot talk . Taqyia told the two men what she saw, and it was the usual consensus to move to leave the place. They walked carefully and avoided making fuss, so they wouldn’t get the attention of any of those scary women, but they found themselves facing one of them! .She was standing there , her red leather braids swelled and the colors glowed on her face, while her fangs was protruding from her lips, which stretched from the ear to the ear. She didn’t move from her position. She was just stationary with that creepy smile. Everyone froze in their places without moving, and when they heard the voice of her hiss , they couldnot prevent their foots from running!

****

How much Taqyia changed in a short time , she even discovered aspects of herself that she didn’t imagine its existence .they were there sleeping over waiting to wake them up. After that initial shock, she was still on her old thinking that she was the reason that her husband resorted to porn, because she fell short in some aspects without knowing. She made more effort with him, and paid more attention to him and more attention to herself. she made more online research.. how to please her husband in intimacy, the ways a woman should do so that her husband doesn’t see any woman except her , but all this more has not resulted in anything!.

She used to see his computer in the times of his absence from home, to follow the results of her relentless effort first!, but she was replaceing more and more of those movies, and other shocks even were revealed ! . When she entered his Facebook, Twitter and other social sites, she found another additional face to her husband who really wowed her like an onion with more layers you can replace inside! . All those years, she saw a one-dimensional portrait of her beloved husband, but he was three-dimensional character and she was needing a special perspective to see all its dimensions, so her own perspective was to see the world he hid inside his computer. It wasn’t just those movies, it encompassed betrayal at all stages, starting with scurrilous written conversations with many girls, until it reached physical betrayal when she saw messages with prostitutes, to agree on the details of their own encounters for money!.

If all she did is circling around him , if he was her centrality, if he was the gravitational force that connects her to the Earth, how will she continue living after everything she has seen! . her world has literally collapsed. Her heart stopped beating and her mind stopped thinking, if she was an ordinary woman, she would leave him without bringing herself more pain. Yes,she would have needed a lot of psychotherapy, but she would have finally overtaken him. In the case of Taqyia ,Taqyia the lover who turned her extreme love to pure madness . yes, she became officially mad and that was from her husband bad luck.

With all this pain, Zian didn’t feel any change in her..women are crying , shouting, blaming in this conditions. Taqyia was silent and dealt with it like nothing happened , like she lived the most happy marriages. But once she was closing her door, she was suffering the falling alone. Crying, screaming, ripping clothes, cracking pots.. she was doing all this, then putting everything back in place before her husband came back and opens the door with a broad smile!. After he left that day, and after practicing her usual crying manner as she was knowing that he is going to meet a woman out side , she stopped!. She stopped to look at her face in the mirror. She hurried to wash her face and sat down to put down her make up . After she finished and looked at her new looked face, she smiled because she was really beautiful, and because she finally came up with the solution and pronounced it in front of her counterpart on the reflective surface . her counterpart looked at her with horror when Taqyia spoke, saying... I’ll kill you, Zian!

＊＊＊

It was the escape again, but this time they didn’t run that much, because they noticed that that monster didn’t follow them, she just kept standing and looking at them with that constant creepy smile. they stopped after they got away from her . Holding his breathless chest , Milan said:

- she didn’t haunt us, it seems she is not danger . it is just creepy .

Ramo spoke with hasty breaths:

- Even if it’s not dangerous, we’ll keep moving out of that rainbow land.

Asia spoke tightly :

- Why should we leave like every time? you are not the leader of the group to order us.

Ramo looked at her silently, and then spoke:

- Have you another opinion ?

Asia raised her voice:

- Your condition is questionable, Ramo. You look completely different from us . you rarely show fear but always draw the next step for us, I feel like you’re not from us, you’re tucked into us!.

While conveying her looks between the two, Taqiya said:

- What is your problem , Asia? Have you seen anything of him? It is not his fault he is the bravest and the wisest of us .

Milan was upset by Taqyia sentence, since he’s their second man! so he said:

- Well, I think Asia is right. I also doubt him from the beginning!

Taqiya said to soothe the nervous situation :

-Fear will cause us to lose cohesion. We don’t need those differences between us. Things are going to get complicated. Asia, Have you seen anything that makes you accusing Ramo?

Asia was silent running away with her eyes,then hesitantly said:

- No!

Taqiya said:

- Well, I think it’s better to keep moving like Ramo said.

The silence became dominant on the four for moments, after which Ramo gave his back to them and walked away , while Asia followed him with two eyes filled with doubt and bewilderment.Milan sat in his place with loose head , hugging his chest with his knees . Taqiya told Asia faintly:

- Can we get out of here a little bit?

the two women walked away from Milan thenTaqyia said:

- Ramo likes you , i feel this so much!.

Asia wanted to speak but Taqyia interrupted her , saying:

- Don’t argue with me, please. I know those matters very well!. I just want you to trust him more than this Milan.

Asia didnot reply her as they continue walking then Taqyia said:

- Wait for me here

she pointed to her belly in a signal that she wants to pee .

- Well, I’m waiting for you.

she moved a few steps and then she went behind some trees, to replace that they were close to getting into the color area after the red zone.. the orange zone . she started unbuttoning her trousers, when she heard the sound that made her stop!. it was coming from a spot on the ground she didn’t pay attention to, and when she approached, she found that spot full of water like a well in the heart of the desert .she looked at the surface of the reflective water and saw her counterpart who hadn’t seen for a very long time, but she seemed so ugly and pale. She touched the red sand with her finger, to put a few on her lips and cheeks, and then she looked to herself again to replace her counterpart had increased in beauty!. She smiled as she looked at her image, because of the absurdity of what she was doing in such circumstances, but she continued to stare at her counterpart with a wide smile!

＊＊＊

she sat on the seat in front of him, pondering . He was sleeping in a crucified position, after his four limbs was tightened and tied to the four edges of the bedding with metal chains!. his mouth also was muzzled with duct tape, while his consciousness was absent in other worlds, due to sleeping pills she put in his drink!. It took her a few months to reach that point, after her successive shocks in him . After she got out of her fall, she stood on her feet to devote her life to a new goal, which was killing him! . she thought about all the details of the execution and prepared everything until the suitable time and place came. her husband took her on holiday for several days at the foot of Mount Damand in Mazandaran, where they owned a wooden house . she knew that the time had come to execute, because the house was in isolated area , which would be an excellent place to carry out her crime.

In those moments, her husband had begun to regain consciousness . he was unaware of the hell he was waiting for in the coming hours!. She didn’t patience until he opened his eyes to slowly understand what was going on, so she proceeded to slap him on his cheeks harshly. After the first moments of shock and fog, and after Zian finally realized that he was tied by his wife’s hands , he kept angrily mumbling under his muzzle, while she stood looking at him with cold smile and interlocking arms on her chest. she removed his muzzle to let him speak so he exhaled angerily and said :

- Are you crazy, Taqyia ? What are you doing? Is this one of the ridiculous marital games to tempt me?

She made a high laugh then she said while her body was shaking:

- Do you think these are one of the sex toys to entice you,Zian?! Do you trust me that much ?

His face changed as fear began to creep into him and said:

- Do you want to hurt me?

She kept laughing :

- dear , I’m not gonna hurt you, I’m just gonna kill you! but slowly!

His breaths accelerated and wanted to scream, but she quickly put the adhesive on his mouth. He was writhing in his position as he saw her grabbing a bottle of spray similar to the one used to irrigate the flowers. she approached from the bare leg and pressed the piston, to set off a straight spray made him rising on the bed in pain! . she brought the piston closer to his face, warning him not to make any sound. she took the the tape off and he was crying bitterly as he was in pain from his leg, which was bloodied! . Yes, she filled the bottle with acidic material that soluble the skin! That’s how her demon gave her the solution to heal her and complete her revenge! .She kept silent looking at him crying without any feelings of pity moving inside her. The slow exhausted words came out of his mouth :

- Why?!

- You said it, why?! Why did you do that to me? Am I not enough?

He closed his eyes as he realized the cause then spoke:

-It has nothing to do with you.

she slapped him on the face saying :

- So who’s involved?

He tried to hold on and said:

-You’re a perfect wife. believe me, and I’m just a man whose instincts move him . Please, if you want to break up, I will and I will give you your full rights. I will forget what happened here, but please let me go, you will waste your life if you continue in this madness.

She said with crazy eyes:

-Do you want to leave me after everything I’ve done for you?

Here, Zian’s resistance collapsed . he sank in tears as he was begging:

- Please , leave me. It wasn’t my fault!

She silenced a little then quietly said:

- you are right , Zian. this is all my fault! . I made you my God!

Quietly she put the tape back on his lips, then approached the other leg with the bottle and pressed the plunger!

she was Standing behind the glass window . the green plains stretche down Mount Damond which is adorned with white ice patch on its top. the place is Very cool and suitable for lovers.. That’s how she thought with a cynical smile! .There’s blood falling from the bed behind and pollutes the floor of the room!. Well, she prolonged his torment as much as she could, but his body didn’t bear and eventually expelled his last breath!

Days later, when police stormed the wooden cottage, Officers did not believe the scene on the bed, so one of them lost control of his stomach and vomited in front of his colleagues’ eyes. Two months later, Taqyia was arrested. The buzz went all over the country, while everyone demanded the head of that wife who melted her live husband !

＊＊＊

Taqyia does not know how long she’s looked to the water page, like she’s been absent in another world for an entire lifetime, whereas it was not more than five minutes in real . When she finally woke up , she found that she wasn’t looking at her smile! she was looking at those ears-stretched red lips!. Before Taqyia showed a vigorous reaction to that surprise, and before she took a step back, the monster jumped from the bottom of the water to attack Taqyia in less than a moment and got its claws in her neck , while Taqyia eyes kept looking up in silent daze!.

It was more than ten minutes into Asia in her position . she became worried, and moved to check on her. After she crossed the trees, she saw them! . Taqyia head was between tusks of the pigmented monster . Before Asia took a step back, she found the monster right in front of her staring at her face! . Asia shuddered and closed her eyes thinking that it was the end, but she heard who is talking inside her mind and saying clearly... (Why don’t you smile?!) . The savage female issued deep hiss near Asia ears. seconds passed then she sped away as she dragged Taqyia .. her prey who smiled at!

Asia breathing came back hardly. she does not know when she moved, does not know when she ran, does not know when she got to her remaining mates and fall unconscious!
