Chapter 22 - Chapter 22:Legacy of the fallen

The following day at Sumdem City Airport.

Jabar came down from the taxi he boarded at the airport and stood in front of Mrs Safeera Bello mansion. It was quite long since he set foot in Sumdem city. He removed his sun shades and wiped his tears. It really wasn't easy losing someone who loved you for who you are.

His mind was elsewhere, in his dream world where Humaira was still alive and well. The emptiness in his heart was eating him slowly. Even if he killed Alex, would the pain in his heart go away?

He already had a criminal record here, and now he was back again.

He sighed as he took a look at himself.

The almighty notorious killer "King Jabar."

Look at me now. What a stupid joke.

He laughed sadly. The lion inside of him had turned into a little kitten. He was having second thoughts. Would it really be worth it to kill Alex?

So he decided to go for a little walk.

He visited a flower shop close by and bought Humaira's favorite flowers. After that he went to the cemetery where she was buried and placed the flowers there. After spending some time there he stood up and left.

To where?

He didn't know.

Humaira was the one in charge of his plans and everything, and now that she was gone, what would become of him now?

Lost in thoughts and despair, he proceeded to cross the main road without paying attention.

A truck ran over him.

He was sent flying mid-air before landing on the floor with some broken ribs and a fractured arm. But nothing was more broken than his heart.

A little crowd gathered, and he was rushed to the hospital. But due to the hospital's small equipment and facilities, before he could be transferred he gave up the ghost.

His relatives were later called and the dead body was sent back to Mumbai.

That was the end of the unfortunate love story of Jabar and Humaira.

The Following Day

Mubarak and Zanu set back on their journey to Sumdem City.

They went to the Bello mansion but were informed that the young master wasn't around, so they decided to head to the cliff side where Damien resided.

Zanu sighted both Damien and Alex from afar and ran to them.

"Damien!"

She hugged him tightly.

"How are you? Oh my God it's been so long since I last saw you."

Damien looked shocked.

"Zanu? Wow where have you been? Look at you all glowing up what's the secret?"

"Well you won't believe it but—"

She told them everything as Mubarak joined them.

"This is the Mubarak I was talking about."

"No wonder. Well I'm glad to see you doing all well. Me and Alex were worried about you."

Alex scoffed.

Damien continued teasing, "Is it only me or you have gained some weight, I'm I not right Alex?"

Alex ignored him and proceeded to drink some bottled water.

"Well that's because I'm pregnant."

Alex choked on the water he was drinking while Damien stared at her in shock.

"Are you shocked Alex?"

"I thought Ali sent you on a mission? I didn't know you would come back with more than a mission."

Damien laughed.

"And the person standing here is the father of your child?"

Zanu, feeling emotional, was about to leave.

"Wait," Alex said. "You said you got into a fight with Manu right? Is she aware that you're alive?"

Damien burst into laughter as Alex joined him.

"I'm serious here."

Mubarak stepped forward.

"You should mind the way you speak to others."

Alex glared at him.

"Who the hell are you to tell me how to speak to others?"

"You must be Alex right?"

Mubarak placed Zanu on the chair Damien had been sitting on.

"Well I have a message for you Alex, wanna hear it? It's from Mauja."

Damien noticed Alex clenching his fists.

"Common bro you know this isn't funny."

"Oh I see he doesn't like it but he doesn't mind hurting other people," Mubarak continued. "Get this into your head boy this the first and last time you joke with my Zanu again."

Alex scoffed.

"Really you son of a bitch see I don't even want to know who you—"

"I can see you're still an ignorant bastard as ever. No wonder Mauja left early."

Mubarak walked closer to Alex but Zanu grabbed his hands.

"Please let's just stop all these, there's no point trying to talk to him."

Mubarak smiled and removed her hands.

"I'm not trying to talk to him. Allow me to introduce myself. I go by the name Mubarak, the son of Haider and the man who would bring you to your early demise."

Damien gasped.

"My father was killed because he failed to kill you, but I end all this today."

Alex laughed.

"So failure does run in the family? Bring me to my early demise? Not even the devil could do so."

Zanu tried again to stop him.

"Mubarak please don't do all this. What's all this about? Bring him to his early demise? The palace needs Alex."

Inside her thoughts she cursed. This foolish boy, what the hell is he doing? I'm too weak to do anything right now. Don't ruin everything I've planned for Mubarak.

Mubarak pulled out a dagger.

"I'm sorry Zanu but this is where I end Alex. Your palace needs to look for another king because this one is dead."

Damien panicked.

"Alex the dagger he has is poisoned be careful. Common bro what type of joke is this? Isn't this some type of happy reunion shit?"

"One scratch from this and Alex is gone."

"Mubarak please!" Zanu shouted. "Please let's not do things we would regret later."

She ran toward him but he knocked her out and threw her into Damien's arms.

"Take her inside now."

Damien carried her inside and returned shortly.

"So how do you want to die Alex?" Mubarak asked.

Damien tried to talk.

"Common bro can't we just talk things out like—"

He suddenly attempted to stab him, but Mubarak dodged and kicked him in the gut.

The fight began.
