Fate's Cruel Hand: The Story of Love and Loss


Fate's Cruel Hand: The Story of Love and Loss



Hello, my name is Karim, and I'm here today to tell you the story of Ali and Leila, a story that brings tears to my eyes whenever I recall it.

I won't keep you waiting; Ali was my dearest friend, and he never parted from Leila since they were children. Their homes were close to each other, so they always went to school together, played together, and even helped each other in childhood squabbles. As they grew up, their bond deepened. It wasn't just an ordinary friendship; they loved each other with an innocent love hidden behind the mask of friendship.

They were honest with each other about everything except their feelings towards each other. Ali had never confessed his deep love for Leila, and likewise Leila, but they were both sure they loved each other. Even anyone who saw them could tell.


Leila dreamed of graduating and studying medicine, while Ali and I wanted to start our own company. So, we decided to study business and management. After our last exam in high school, the three of us went out to celebrate at a popular restaurant, confident in our answers and in our success. On our way, Leila's phone rang:


Leila: Hello, who's calling?
Caller: It's Iman, your cousin. (She answered, crying heavily)
Leila: Why are you crying? What happened?
Iman: Leila, I don't know how to tell you this, but your parents and your brother... (her voice breaks into sobs)
Leila: (in a loud voice) What happened to my family?!!!
Ali and I looked at Leila, and she was in shock.
Iman: There was an accident. Your parents' car flipped, and they all died.


Leila dropped the phone from her hand and fainted, she was about to fall if it wasn't for Ali who intervened and caught her. Then he took a water bottle from his bag and started pouring it on her face until she woke up.


Ali: Leila, what happened?
Leila: (crying) They're all dead, Ali, all of them, my parents and my brother.
(Leila burst into a fit of intense crying, and Ali and I were in a state of shock, looking at each other trying to understand what happened)
But soon we regained composure and hailed a taxi, heading to the hospital.


When we arrived there, we found Leila's family and some neighbors in a state of deep sorrow, most of them were crying. We confirmed that the news was true and that Leila had lost her beloved family.
After this incident, Leila changed a lot from a cheerful and ambitious girl to a soulless body. The only person she loved talking to, the only person who made her laugh, was Ali. He never left her alone, even when she was at home, he kept talking to her on the phone, filling all her time. Despite this, he couldn't pull her out of the severe depression she was going through.


Time passed, and it was time for the entrance exam to the medical school Leila had always dreamed of. But she had no desire or will to study, and she decided not to go. But Ali intervened and convinced her with difficulty to go. Indeed, she went to the exam but failed because of her mental state.


Days later, Ali, Salma, and I passed the entrance exam to the Higher School of Business and Management, and we all succeeded. As for Salma, she was a girl who also had a crush on Ali, but he ignored her despite her attempts, as he only saw Leila. So Salma considered Leila her rival and took advantage of her presence with Ali in the same college to get closer to him once again.


On the fateful day after the end of the lecture, Salma asked Ali to meet her at a café in the neighborhood to help her understand a lecture she didn't grasp. Ali agreed, and they met at the café. Ali sat with his back facing the street, and Salma sat in front of him. Before Salma arrived at the café, she sent an anonymous message to Leila informing her that Ali would meet his new girlfriend at that café.

Leila couldn't believe the content of the message but decided to go out of curiosity. Upon her arrival, she was surprised to indeed find Ali with Salma. As soon as Salma saw Leila, she took a sip of her coffee and deliberately left a coffee stain on her lips.

Ali noticed the stain and told her to remove it, but she gave him the tissue and asked him to remove it, pretending she didn't know where the stain was. He agreed not to embarrass her and wiped the stain from her lips.

Leila, after seeing this from a distance, left the place quickly to her house.
But she couldn't wait and didn't believe it, after dark, when Ali returned home, she sent him a message saying: "I saw you today with Salma, and you seemed to get along well. Do you love her, Ali?" Ali smiled broadly to himself and said, "Oh, how jealous she gets! Doesn't she know she's the only one in my heart?" Then he joked to make her more jealous and wrote to her, "Yes, I love her and will marry her soon."
Leila read his response and didn't reply; she believed it. After a few minutes, Ali's phone rang, and he answered.


Ali: Hello, Leila.
Leila: (with a mixed voice of crying) I love you.


Then she hung up.


Ali: Leila, what's wrong? Leila!!!


He noticed she had hung up.
He called her several times with no avail; the phone rang, and no one answered.
He understood that things weren't right. He sent her messages telling her he loves her and that he was just joking.
But no one answered.


He hurried out of his house to hers, knocked on the door, but no one answered. He noticed that the lights were on inside, indicating she was in there. He started calling her loudly, but there was no movement.


Her neighbor came out to investigate what was happening and
 Ali asked him to allow him jump from his house to hers to check on her, so he agreed.

Ali rushed up the stairs and jumped to Leila's house. He went down to her room to find what he hadn't imagined.
He found Leila drowned in a pool of blood, and beside her was a knife with a piece of her vein, and beside her was a paper that said, "Your love was what kept me alive." He approached her and held her between his arms and wrote on the paper, "If you leave, I'll leave with you," and cut his vein with the same knife and died together.
