"You are mine.
Your anger,
your violence is
all mine"

ANGEL

"Owww! Ouchh! Oww! Awwiee! Ahh".

A feminine low whimper filled in the house and made him uncomfortable. He lifted his head looked straight at her pale face and said grumpily, "Will you stop making noises?".

Nilay said as he continued to apply medicine to Sunaina's hands.

Sunaina pouted and said, "Boo! It's hurting. If you are in pain then you will make a sound".

"Okay, but is it necessary to act like a dog?", Nilay said as he completed applying medicine on her hands.

"Dog? Aah, this man. Let's poke him more', Sunaina thought wickedly and asked him, "By the way, my whole heart. What kind of dog was I acting like?".

Nilay looked at her face as he did not respond to her nonsensical question.

Sunaina smiled and said, "What? Are you confused? Okay then let me guess. I must be looking like a cute puppy, right?".

Nilay pursed his lips tightly and he felt another wave of headache was coming.

As far as Nilay knew Sunaina, he knew that she would not give up pursuing Nilay until she got the answer.

"Not a cute puppy but like a wild Tibetan mastiff", Nilay said and stood up from his seat.

Sunaina choked her saliva as she glared at him looking at his masculine back view and then at her both hands. Her anger melted and a deep devilish smile danced on her lips.

Sunaina liked the way Nilay applied ointment on her hands. He had a serious expression on his face and his brows were tightened together.

Nilay washed his hand while looking at her and asked the same question again, "Whose clothes are you wearing and where were you? You haven't told me yet".

Sunaina blinked her eyes and scolded her heart, 'Who told you to fall in love with him? He talks too much. He asks too much. He inquires too much. What should I do now?'.

"Where are you lost? Knitting webs of other lies", Nilay flicked her forehead and hissed softly as she rubbed her forehead.

She responded quickly, "I went to the orphanage. There I play with my brothers. These clothes are mine. I met with the head of the orphanage and told him about the past and now my current life is living with you".

"Your brothers?", Nilay raised his brows questioningly and she nodded her head like a chicken pecking the grains, "Yes, my brothers".

"What is the name of your brothers?", Nilay questioned her and she clicked her teeth and replied in a confident tone, "Dinesh and Tirekshwar".

She twisted the names of her subordinates and gave brand new names to Dino and T-Rex caused them to have hiccups and sneezes.

Hearing this, Nilay's mouth twitched as his eyes narrowed down and he looked straight into her eyes the next second he dropped another bomb on her by saying, "Okay then take me to your orphanage tomorrow. I want to meet your brothers too".

Sunaina looked at him blankly.
Nilay came closer to her and said, "By the way, the brand you are wearing is quite expensive and the clothes look new too. Did your brother buy them?".

She was stunned by his observation. Nilay did not say or ask anything else after this. He turned and started walking towards his room.

Sunaina, who was lost in the words of Nilaya, woke up and saw him going, she immediately stopped him by tugging his shirt.

Nilay turned around and looked at her. There was a misty layer of anger in his brown eyes.

Sunaina licked her dry lips and asked him in a soft voice, "It is too late in the night. Aren't you hungry? Let's eat"

Nilay chuckled coldly and said in a grumpy tone, "I'm already full of anger because of you."

Sunaina could feel the oozing coldness out of him but still, she pouted and tried to calm him down as she dramatically said, "But I'm hungry".

Nilay's eyes narrowed down dangerously as sarcastically responded, "You have just drank my blood. Is your stomach not full?".

Sunaina stood there speechless as she found him walking into his bedroom.

A few hours later, the night slowly got dark and it was silent on the hallways. The clear moonlight drooped and penetrated the window.

Nilay walked back to his art room quietly. He carefully closed the door and turned around to look at the walls of the room.

Those walls were a part of his life and it was impossible to stay away from that part.

Those walls have kept the pictures made by Nilaya for years.

Thinking deeply for a while, suddenly his voice rang in the silent room.

"Creation requires inspiration, and creators need rich emotions".

His voice was magnetic and pleasing. When he started speaking, his voice was like sweet-brewed wine which flowed in people's hearts and gave an especially comfortable feeling.

"It's time to change the mind of the creator. Creators need new inspiration as well", Nilay said and there was a hidden meaning buried in his words.

The time had come for Nilay to come out of those old memories which had no meaning before and neither now.

Nilay stared at his collections of all sketches of Divita and other master creations that gave him a chance to earn money for donation.

He collected all the sketches of the girl who was wearing a school uniform.

She was Divita. Divita was Nilay's inspiration and he made her first sketch when he was fifteen years old. A long time had passed and he was still there, Stuck at one point.

But not anymore because It was very important to bring life changes. Nilay was going to bring changes in his life.

He didn't want to keep pictures of a woman who was someone else's wife.

"It's time to move on", He said and there was no hesitation in his voice.

He was calm and in control.

Nilay also removed all the rough drafted sketches and paintings from the walls and dumped them into a box and after removing all these sketches, he locked the box.

There was a strange silence in Nilaya's room. That silence was trying to say something. As if it wanted to console Nilay for losing his first sketch.

"Humans are complex creatures and humans love to get trapped in illusion", Nilay sighed as he felt suffocated in the art room.

The darkness and the silence were making him uncomfortable.

There was a time when the silence of the art room used to encourage him and he also found peace in the darkness of the room, but today he felt that the entire art room had been ruined and this room was to pull him and drown him in a new and strange darkness.

"I was the creator of these creations and you were my inspiration for these creations but now, I do not need this inspiration. You were just a fake inspiration for me. Inspiration comes directly from the heart of an artist and you were never in my heart", Nilay spoke as his eyes stopped at the blank walls.

He was not able to look anywhere else. Those empty walls were pulling him towards the past.

Nilay left the room and while returning to his bedroom, he dialed a number from his manager named Vardhaan Thapa's number and said, "Send someone tomorrow morning. There are some goods which have to be delivered to their original place"

"Understood, Sir", Vardhaan replied in a sleepy tone.

Nilay disconnected the call but someone was listening to him and a creepy smile danced on her lips.

Back at the Khadka mansion, Avyaan was on the phone as he was listening to the brief reports of his right-hand man named 'Shark'.

"King! It's true. The interest on money has doubled", Shark said and Avyaan's eyes turned darker than before.

"Pay attention to them. I don't want any mistakes", Avyaan said and his voice was too cold which caused Shark to shudder at this moment, "Got it".

The line disconnected as he thought deeply while looking down at the floor.

He closed his eyes and pain started to crawl on his body. The pain had still not left Avyaan. A low painful moan escaped from his mouth as his body started to lose its strength.

By taking support from the wall, he sat down on the bed and then lay down. An uncomfortable tightness gripped his bones and the amount of pain was also increasing.

Avyaan's entire body was in pain and was also drenched in sweat.

He closed his eyes and thought about his father and the way he always cherished him. There were no memories of his mother because he never met her.

Unknown to his current state, Avyaan fell into a dream as the temperature of his body rose and the fever made him sicker.

~'What's your name?'. A cold masculine voice asked the little girl of age 9 but she looked like 4-5 years old. She had a baby face and was suffering from malnutrition.

The little girl blinked her innocent eyes and said in a low tone as if she was meowing, 'Chunaina'. ~

Avyaan's eyes opened in a flash and his chest was going up and down fast. He groaned as his body was aching and he was feeling low at this moment.

He rubbed his face and murmured, "After many years, a part of the past has come before my eyes again".

He shook his head negatively and took slow steps toward the bathroom and took a cold shower to get rid of the sweat.

Avyaan stepped out of his room and to the dining area where Tarana was already sitting and drinking water as she was unable to sleep.

Tarana who was thinking about her parents, Suddenly felt a dense shadow clouded over her.

She frowned because the person was tall and covered the light above her head.

His voice was low like a drizzle in the cold wind as he asked, "Are your wrists better yet?".

Tarana stopped what she was doing and looked up at him.

Avyaan was leaning slightly against the edge of the table in front of her. His gaze slowly fell to the red mark on her wrist.

"I've been paying attention to it", Tarana responded as she did not know what to say.

She continued to say, "It should be better in a few days."

Avyaan nodded and didn't say anything.

In the silence, he pulled a chair over next to Tarana's with a creak, and then he sat down, causing her heart to drop at this closeness.

"How much money did not take from the loan sharks?", He asked directly She took a deep breath and responded to him, "Around 3 lacs".

Avyaan raised his brows amusingly and replied, "I never saw a brainless woman like you".

Tarana looked at him with furious eyes but did not say a word to him.

"Who told you to take a loan from the loan sharks? Umm, Naina?", Avyaan questioned her and She shook her head negatively, "When I left the hospital that day. You were busy planning with Buba. I was going home but in the middle of my journey. I got a call from an unknown number. The caller was Naina. She told me to go back to the hospital but the next second, she told me to go to the exact location of your accident site. I did it and everything happened so quickly that I did not get a chance to contact Naina again. We lost our connection. You were unconscious and I couldn't get help from anyone. I was scared that your enemies would find out about your existence. I did not want to take any risk and hid you well from everyone. Omy helped me a lot. I don't know what I would have done if Omy was not there. Apart from Omy, I could not trust anyone else".

Tarana looked at him and found that his face was dark and his eyes were overflowing with rage.

She gulped down nervously and continued to clarify, "Omy contacted his friend who was a doctor. Omy's doctor friend contacted his other doctor friend and treated you and cured you. I have acknowledged all the people that they saved you without any selfishness".

She quickly looked away from his face and gulped down the water.

Avyaan stood up from his seat and said, "I have repaid the loan you took for me. So if someone calls you from loan sharks then do not answer the calls and block them".

By sharing this, he left the dining area and was going back to his room but the sudden voice of Tarana stopped him.

"There was no need for this. If I had taken a loan, I would have had to repay the loan", Tarana said, causing him to laugh coldly, "Really? So how much time will it take you to repay the loan and loan interest? Until you have no teeth left in your mouth or all the bones in your body become weak".

Avyaan turned around and left her there, staring at his disappearing figure with a stunned expression and dazed.

'You don't even know what loan sharks can do to you. They won't leave your house or your parents either', words of Omy started ringing in her ears and tears brimmed in her eyes.

On the other hand, someone collapsed on the sofa completely weak. The whites of the person's eyes were filled with scarlet and the smile looked cold and terrifying.

Evil, like a bloodthirsty beast who was ready for strike.
