ABOUT THIS BOOK
Description
A Desperate Act and a Shocking Discovery
Filled with rage, his heart felt like it was about to burst out of his chest. He squatted in front of her and placed his hand over her nose, realizing she was no longer breathing. He quickly stood up, flinging his hands around in search of a way out. Then an idea struck him: before people rushed in, it would be better to handle things himself in a way that no one could accuse him. Swiftly, he lifted her and carried her to the bed in her bedroom, laid her down, then hurried out of the room, stumbling as he walked.
Suddenly, he stopped dead in his tracks, frozen in place. His senses—his hearing, sight, and breathing—felt like they were about to leave his body. What caused this sudden paralysis was nothing other than coming face to face with Meer, standing there with a phone in his hand, clearly recording a video.
The Evidence and the Ultimatum
Slowly, Meer walked toward him until he was right in front of him, staring into his eyes, which had changed color with panic. He played the video for him, showing him everything. The footage began from the moment the woman came out clapping her hands, through the moment she spoke to him, to when he stood up and strangled her until she stopped breathing, then released her and she fell to the ground. From beginning to end, nothing was missing—it was all there on the phone.
When the video ended, Meer turned off the phone and slipped it into his pocket, scanning him from head to toe before finally speaking. He said that even if nothing else was said, anyone who saw the video would have their answer. Now, he said, there were two judgments awaiting him—besides the previous accusation, he had now added murder to his crimes. He mocked him, calling him two-faced: someone who pretended to be innocent and God-fearing, but was in reality a hardened hypocrite. Meer demanded that he explain how the woman was driven out of the house, name everyone involved, and confess before matters escalated and the truth spread everywhere. He insisted that he personally go and tell people how he killed his own wife with his own hands.
Confession, Threats, and a Silent Resolve
As soon as Waziri opened his mouth, he burst into loud, almost crazed laughter. He laughed until he had his fill, then suddenly hardened his heart and changed his expression—there was no trace of fear on his face. He circled Meer, shaking his head, then stood before him and said mockingly that the “little lion” had grown. He praised Meer’s effort but told him he was too late. What Meer thought was evidence, he said, was laughable. He claimed he had seen through him the moment he put the phone away, boasting that a child could never see what an elder sees. He said he had only been playing with Meer’s mind, deliberately confusing his reasoning.
He paused, then burst out laughing again, boasting that he was stronger than Meer’s grandfather, stronger than his father, and that Meer was too small to make him afraid. He claimed he had known Meer would come, that the accusations were true and that he was deeply involved, though he himself answered to a higher authority. He admitted that everything he had told Meer before was a lie, that Meer’s suspicions were correct, and that Fulani knew nothing at all—they had merely used her to carry out their plans. He confessed to orchestrating everything, manipulating events so that she would never give birth again, and ultimately driving her and her children out of the house. He declared that none of Muhammad’s bloodline would ever rule that house again, preferring a kingdom without mercy or compassion.
Throughout the speech, Meer watched him closely. Not a single word frightened him; instead, it strengthened his resolve to defeat them. Waziri believed he would never be caught, which was why he had spoken so freely—but that, to Meer, was a grave mistake. Meer resolved to show him that times had changed, that his own strength would surpass Waziri’s a hundredfold. He would not expose him immediately; instead, he would first plant fear in him, unsettle his mind, and fill his thoughts with terror. From that day on, Meer believed Waziri’s days of peace were over, and that he would make him pay dearly.
