Warning- forced murder in between

"open your window!" I said to her on call, why is she not opening. How much strength I need right now only I know.

The hell happened today. I killed someone. How can I? I literally burnt all the proves in order to save myself. I did a BIG mistake. I should have told someone about it. But now there is no use of it.

Riddhima opened the window and pulled the end of the sleeve of my hoodie lightly. I jumped inside and sat on the bed. I knew she would be as the same state as mine.

"What are you doing here at this time?" She asked me.

"I wanted to talk to you. You are fine for sure?" I asked her. I don't want to make her uncomfortable at all. At last she is my friend.

"Yes I am..just that sleep is far away from my eyes. I thought to get a leave." Riddhima said to me.

"DON'T Riddhima...we will be suspected. As she went to the same way as ours." I said to her... I was thinking why was she turning back or whatever she was doing vertically on a straight road.

"There are many others Vansh! And we have burnt everything." She exclaimed but her eyes became glassy with tears. I can't control any girl crying...what can I do?

"We burnt everything. But can blood be burnt? No Riddhima. The metal use in the scooter? No. Her family would have started looking for her till now." I said to her. She can't fall week now. She is strong as much I know.

"What will we do now?" She asked me looking into my eyes...the same way she did in the car. Why does she has to stare at me all the time?

"I just wanted to tell you that we will be regular at our work atleast a month or so. If anyone of us will do anything we can get suspected. Because he HAVE left some proofs. We all do mistakes." I said to her.

Indeed it was true...we did many mistakes. We are not professional at this work. I still get shivered remembering her lifeless body in my hands.

"Riddhima! Are you asleep?" It was Aryan's voice.

Riddhima stared at me being scared and I jumped back outside and she closed the window. I came out and went through the little tunnel I dug under the garden. They need more security at their house.

He was still standing there, I went and nodded in affirmation. He shook hands with me and went away. If he wouldn't have been here I would have easily been caught.

I did wrong, but...I don't regret I can say? It's the first time I saw someone dead. But it was the first time I killed someone, and that my mistake. Why the hell did I stare at her! Nothing can change now. I can't blame her too, she has been my friend till starting to end of the college, and she is there still.

After leaving Riddhima I have my car to him, and he took it away to change its shape as well as name of the owner. Dad doesn't even care about anything, just me and me and me, so I join the business.

I looked at my phone screen which had a call by Raj and I picked it up.

"Hey bro you guys are at home?" He asked me.

"I have been home hours ago. What happened?" I asked him.

"Didn't you check tomorrow's tasks? Look at the official group." He said.

"Ohk I will. Good night Raj." I wished and immediately declined the call.

Opening whatsapp I found the office group of interns and opened it to see the big list of tasks for all of us. And the message was sent by ....Meghna!?

How the hell is that possible? How can she send this message? Didn't I burn her phone too!?

I was too startled to think much, I have been on work whole day and then this crime that I did, and then this message. I can't. I need a good better best sleep for myself.

I came back to home and found Siya going somewhere. I stopped her in between and asked where she is going but she is too rude to tell.

"It's not the time to leave the house Siya. Go wherever you want to but tomorrow." I said to her and she rolled her eyes. I held her hand and pulled her inside... she is too much now.

"What Bhai? Why don't you let me live peacefully? I can go wherever I want to. You are no one to stop me." Siya scoffed to me.

"I am your brother and I am saying you will not go out now. It's 2 at night, not afternoon." I said to her angrily.

And here she goes.. passing a smirk to me she started fakely sobbing and when I scolded her she sobbed more loud. Loud enough to wake... huh .. Dad of course.

"What happened my dear why are you crying?" Dad came running and hugged her while she pointed at me hiding her face.

"She is going out at this time. It's 2 am dad." I stated being irritated by her sobs.

"As much as I can see you are also coming back from somewhere. She has full independence to go anywhere she wants to." Dad and and she smirked at me and went away running.

I sighed. Dad is just spoiling her more and I have nothing to do with it.

"I heard you did a murder?"

I stared at Dad as my forehead started sweating.

"Son, as if you have shown one more of your good skills. Join now son, it's my request." He said and patted my shoulder.

"I don't want to be a-" I stopped as Dad pulled me somewhere with him.

The basement of the house, we both went down and I saw a man tied to a chair, he was badly beaten. Swollen cheeks, bloodied forehead, he didn't have one of his eyes, his legs had burnt marks and hands were stuck with nails. I closed my eyes immediately seeing his state.

"Free him from his pain. Kill him. That's the only way he will be free." Dad said putting the gun in my hand.

I clutched the gun tightly, I hated him. Always. I looked at him as he begged for his death.

"Free him! Free him! Free him!" Dad kept shouting from behind as my shut my eyes close tightly and aimed the gun at him.

"Free him from all the pain! Shoot!!" Dad shouted more...

And that was it, I screamed and pulled the trigger.

Utter silence prevailed, I took deep breathes and opened my eyes slowly. I shot his head. I turned back immediately and rushed to my room ignoring Dad's laughs and threw the gun on the stairs.

I rushed into the washroom and turned on the shower washing off the splashed blood as fast as I can. I was so tired to do anything. My muscles had gave up already from all the things I did today.

I landed on the bed and closed my eyes.

"Till when you will be scared Vansh! You are a boy and there is no way you should be scared of anything." Dad shouted at me while my little hands crushed the card I made for him.

"Look. LOOK! This...this is not anything to get scared of. It's just blood son." He said showing his dark red hands, even his nails were filled with the same.

"D..dada..I..." I backed off.

"Please stop Ansh he is small to know all of this." Ma came running and picked me up, I clutched her as tight as I could and she'd silent tears.

"I was also 7 when I did my first...! He can too do it! Your too much love has spoiler him and made him a cry baby" he shouted at mom who flinched at his tone but kept patting my head to shush me up.

"Aren't you happy ruining my children that now you want to ruin his childhood too!" Mom cried and something happened, something happened that sue fell down with me on top of her.

I sat next to her tapping her cheeks, did she sleep in between fighting for me? Yes she did. She slept, forever.

"Oh my god Ansh! How can you kill her! She was your wife." Dadi came running and pulled me back inside the house.

I shouted, I didn't wanted to leave ma. But Dadi pulled me inside and closed the door.

I woke up with a jerk. It was a dream...nah...a nightmare. It was morning and my alarm clack rang making me irritated. I threw it on the floor and thought to check my phone.

The message last night....damn how can I forget that!

I opened the chat and Riddhima's came call, I knew she would be hell scared seeing the time of the message.

"Hello Ridz?" I said picking the call.

"Vansh...the message" she said slowly..she always says slowly

"Yeah I saw that.. we will solve that later meeting in the office. We'll not open this to anyone. Ohk?" I said to confirm that she doesn't flow in emotions and tell to Prisha or Shweta.

"I know I won't! No need to say 1000 times. Ok then. Bye." She chirped

"Yeah bye" I said and declined the call.

Pushing the duvet away I sighed, breakfast was here so I decided to freshen up. I got up and the door opened.

"Vansh are you-" He stopped looking at my state.

"What?" I asked him.

"All good?" He asked

"When you are there nothing can go wrong, brother." I said and he had a smile of relief.

Vian, my elder brother is always full of energy just like his name tells about him. Thanks to him that everything happened smoothly last night.

"No I was talking about...the basement thing." He said turning my smile into a frown.

"Dad loves to force me, I can do nothing with it. I forgot that yesterday only." I said munching on the crunchy toast.

"I know it wasn't new for you...but be careful. And what about that girl with you?" He asked.

"Riddhima. She is all good. Rest I will tell her as soon as I meet her in the office." I said and he nodded.

Yes he is right, it isn't new for me. But it wasn't planned as Dad kept before forcing me into something.

"Wanna have some?" I said raising a bread to him but he nodded and left. He and his nods.

Got ready as usual, combed my hair and tried to paste a smile like the one I had with happiness of doing something by myself. I rushed downstairs and directly towards the car to avoid some beautiful creatures at my home.

As soon as I opened the door, my not so dear sister had a hand on it.

"I am taking this with me..you can go with mine." She said with full attitude...huh...as I will let her take it.

"Then you can take yours." I said and sat on the car.. she's a total irritating material. She sat next to me.

"Siya! Out." I said and she huffed.

"Don't irr-" I was cut by her

"Don't irritate me or else I will call Bhai. What else can you do rather than calling Vian Bhai?" She yelled and got off the car.

Bitter but truth, Bhai has always stood for me in between this evil family of mine. He is always there and the only person I consider as my family.

Shrugging off, I started the car and drove. It was still a little haunting to drive after doing such a big crime. I didn't feel like driving but I did.

Let's see how lucky I am.
