8. Where to get 300000?

Everything's that broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me?

Rahim Hussain felt his world spin...

"Dad—" Aaban screamed as he ran to catch Rahim before he fell. Rahim had a sickly pallor and his eyes were fluttering.

Tahera caught up to them and ordered, "Aaban, call the ambulance."

"Okay" Aaban said with a shaking voice. As he pulled out his phone to call the hospital, Tahera tried her best to resuscitate Rahim.

She had no first aid knowledge but she carried Rahim over to the sofa, laid him down flat in the hopes of easing his breaths.

The landlord and gathered crowd were shocked by the sudden turn of events. The crowd slowly dispersed afraid that they would be roped into a nasty situation if anything serious was to befall Rahim.

"This has nothing to do with me, I barely touched him. He fainted on his own," the landlord said hurriedly as he made to leave.

Tahera lifted her head and shot him a withering glance. It stopped him in his tracks.

The startled landlord said, "Told you I had nothing to do with it, I won't let you pin it on me!"

"If you leave now, I swear I will use every ounce of my energy to take you to court. Leave if you dare," Tahera said with a smile. Her tone was eerily friendly considering her threat.

The landlord wanted to argue some more but Tahera had already turned her head away. Flustered, he stood right there, heeding her warning...

After the ambulance came and Rahim was carried away on a stretcher, Tahera took deliberate steps towards the landlord.

Sizing up the small and thin woman before him, the landlord inexplicably heard his inner voice telling him that this woman was not to be crossed.

Then, he started to have second thoughts. He was physically so much stronger than her that he could possibly strangle her with just one hand, so why was he so afraid of her?

Before he could do anything though, Tahera opened her mouth to ask, "Who ordered you to do this?"

"What?" the landlord was taken aback.

Tahera didn't have the time to chase circles with him so she repeated, "Tell me who ordered you to throw us out of our home and I'll let you off. Or else the next time we meet would be in the courthouse."

This woman is not kidding. She isn't bluffing. This was what his instincts told him. He decided it was best to come out with the truth.

Even though he was advised against revealing the real instigator but Tahera was obviously not going to let him off if he didn't give her a name.

He measured everything in his mind and concluded that it was not worth getting himself into a lawsuit for the sake of shouldering another person's problem.

The landlord shrugged and said, "It was a woman who gave me the money to chase your family away. I know nothing about her except that her surname is Akhter."

Ruma Akhter! The name appeared in Tahera's mind immediately. She already had plans to deal with that despicable woman but Ruma Akhter found her first.

[ Since she yearns for an early death, I'll give it to her! ]

Tahera turned swiftly and got into the ambulance. The landlord let go of the breath that he didn't know he was holding.

At the hospital, Tahera and Aaban were told that Rahim had already missed two dialysis sessions.
