'Murderer'

Radhika's POV

I am going to Mikku and Sumedh's shared bedroom. I knew Mikku is mad but this much. Krish told me everything what she did to Sumedh.

Sumedh is a softie. He gets scared when someone raises their voice at him and she made him witness a torture. God know how is Sumedh. 

I knocked on the door. I heard a faint come in. I went inside and saw Sumedh was sleeping with his head on on Mikku's lap. Awwie! What a sight. I went near Mikku and said in her ear to come out.

Mallika: Baad mai aau to chalega?

She asked for Sumedh's comfort as he is sleeping in her lap.

I shook my head. She carefully put his head on a pillow. And moved out with me. We went to her office room and closed the door.

Mallika: Kaho.

Radhika: Mikku tumne ye sab kyu kiya?

I asked with frustration in my voice.

Mallika: Kya?

I rolled my eyes.

Radhika: Sumedh ke saamne murder kyu kiya?

Mallika: That was his punishment.

She said like it is the most normal thing.

Radhika: Kis baat ki punishment?

Mallika: Ladkiya usse taad rahi thi.

I want to slap her so tightly. I can't.

Radhika: Ladkiyan taad rahi thi to usmai ladkiyon ki galti hui na. Sumedh ne kya kiya?😠

Mallika: Cadbury ne unhe hints di. Smile kar raha tha.

Radhika: For god sake Mikku tum pagal ho. Sumedh ki koi galati nahi hai. Galat tumne kiya hai uske saath. 😠

Mallika: Mai nahi maanti.

Radhika: Konsi ladkiya thi?

I said controlling my anger.

Mallika: Aao.

We went down. We passed a corridor we saw few girls talking in themselves. I pulled Mikku behind a wall.

Radhika: Shh.. Suno.🤫

I shushed her before she can interrupt them. We eavesdrop them.

Girl/1: Kitne hot hai yaar.

Girl/2: Uska vo dekha jab vo has raha tha.

Girl/3: Mam kitna mast maal dhundh ke laayi hai.

Girl/4: Kaash vo mera boyfriend hota. Har raat maze karte. Mere baad tum bhi kar lena.

I feel like vomiting. Dirty minded these girls are. How shameless. Tharak bhari hui hai inke andar. I can't hear more. I looked at Mikku. She was fisting her hands. I dragged her with me to her office room.

Mallika: Radhika mai inka sar faad dungi. Mere Cadbury par gandi nazar daal rahi hai.😡

She yelled.

Radhika: Ab yakeen ho gaya iss mai Sumedh ki koi galati nahi hai.

She looked down her mind going to Sumedh.

Mallika: Radhika, Cadbury kitna ro raha tha.😥

Radhika: Maffi maango usse. Vo dar gaya hoga. Uska dhyan rakho tumhe nahi pata kitne saare log tumhari jagah lena chahte hai. Uski khushi ka dhyan rakho.

Mallika: Hmm. 

She went.

Sumedh's POV

I opened my eyes slowly. My eyes are burning and stinging. I sat up on the bed. My appetite is lost. 

Angel. She murdered a person in front of my eyes. I never even in my dreams thought she can be a killer. How happy she was while killing that person. Like its very normal for her. There was no guilt on her face. 

I am scared. I can't live with a murderer. There is blood on her hands that will never wash away. My breathing is increasing. Its coming back. Why? I was okay all these days why is it coming again?

I shut my eyes tight and went to bathroom. To calm my rapid heart beat, I started finding something. I opened a drawer and found a blade. My heart was beating out of my chest but I tried to be strong. I couldn't believe what I wanted to do.

'Do it no one will care.'

I started to feel my eyes turn glossy. I held the blade to my wrist which already had few old scars.

'You should just die.'

I didn't knew I will do it again. I thought the pain ended but it didn't it increased. How did I expected my life to give me happiness.

I stared at the blade. I have already cut myself many times but didn't thought that I have to do it again after meeting Angel. 

'Don't you want to feel better? It will help you reduce the pain.'

That's it. I lost it and scratched the top of my wrist. Tears fell down from my eyes.

One for being so pathetic that I did nothing else then crying.

One for hoping that my life will give me happiness.

One for not able to save that person.

One for not able to untie myself.

One for blindly trusting her.

One for let her do wrong.

One for being weak.

I looked at my wrist and felt good seeing the blood oozing out. I realized what I had done. I had cut. I had done self harm. I cried. 

I threw the blade. I didn't wanted to cut myself again. Why again? I cried more. I palmed my mouth. What if someone heard me crying? I tried to calm myself but nothing worked.

I picked up the blade and washed it. I put it back from where I took it. I am trembling. I am sweating nothing is helping me. I want to cut again. I took off my cloths and bathed. I feel better. 

I dressed up and went in the room. I became stiff. I saw her. She came near me. I moved back. She is a killer.

Sumedh: Nahi.. mere paas mat aao.😨

I trembled.

Mallika: Cadbury.

I can feel tears filling up in my eyes. She raised her hands to cup my face. I moved away from her.

Mallika: Cadbury kya hua bacha?

She tried to cooed me. I shook my head. If she can kill him. She can kill me also.

Sumedh: Tum khooni ho.🥺

Mallika: Mafia mai katla karna bahut aam baat hai.

I wiped my eyes with the sleeve of my shirt. I tried my best to hold my sobs in.

Mallika: Khana to kha lo. Tumne subah se kuch nahi khaya hai.

Sumedh: Mujhe bhookh nahi hai.

Mallika: Mere liye to kha lo.

Sumedh: Mujhe akela chodh do.

I yelled.

Mallika: Zidd mat karo. Tum mujhe jaante nahi ho.

Her tone suddenly became rude and darkly. A shiver ran down my spine. She can kill me. I have  no choice rather than obeying her. Why is all this happening with me.

Mallika: Aao.

She said softly and held my wrist. I followed her quietly. My gaze was down all the time. She made me sit on the chair and sat beside me. She served for herself and me. I didn't said anything.

She broke a morsel and put in front of my mouth. I turned my head. I heard her saying something under her breath. All of a sudden she pulled me by holding my neck and stuffed that morsel in my mouth harshly.

I feel so bad. I chewed it with tears forming in my eyes. She broke another morsel. I closed my lips tightly and turned my face. I felt her grabbing my jaw harshly and made me look at her. I saw how angry she was. I trembled.

Mallika: Khao.

She ordered. Her tone rude and cold. She is not my Angel but somebody else. I didn't said anything. I saw her clenching her jaw. 

I tried to remove her hand from my jaw with my hand but she only tightened her grip making me feel pain. I opened my mouth a bit cause of pain. She stuffed that morsel in my mouth. 

A tear drop rolled down from my left eye. Her gaze softened. She removed her hand from my jaw. I drank some water.

Mallika: Baby.

She said softly.

Mallika: Chup ho jao. Mat ro.

She tried to cooed me. More tears fell down from my eyes. I wiped my eyes with my hands. She fed me again but this time softly. I ate quietly without protesting. What else can I do? I am out of options.

Mallika: Aao.

She hold my hand and made me stand in the center of hall. What is she trying to do?

Mallika: Radhika.

Radhika: Yes mam.

Mallika: Call all the female workers and guards here. 

Radhika: Okay mam.

She went. What is Angel trying to do? In no time many females were standing in front of us in a line. I looked down.

Mallika: How many of you would like to date him?

She asked in a teasing manner while pointing at me. I am feeling embarrassed. I looked up slowly. And saw eight hands out of 40 -50 stood up. Are they serious? Why will anyone like me?

Mallika: Kindly please come out.

They came out and looked at each other.

Mallika: Radhika please note down their names.

She did.

Radhika: Done.

Mallika: Excellent. These all are fired.

I looked at her in shock. 

Girl/1: Please mam don't do this.

She pleaded.

Girl/2: Mam meri to abhi shaadi bhi nahi hui.

She cried.

Girl/3: Mam mai kya karungi. Please aisa na karo.

My eyes widened I saw a girl coming to me. She hold my feet and cried.

Girl/4: Sir please mam ko boliye aisa mat kare.

She sobbed. I heard a bang sound and felt her grip loosened on my feet. She fell down blood oozed out from her head. I realized what happened.

Sumedh: Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!😰

I yelled in horror. My eyes widened. I saw Angel holding a gun in her hand. 

Mallika: Eyes down. Bow down to him. He is your king.

My heartbeat is increasing. I can't feel my hands. I am trembling. I felt tears filling in my eyes. Small whimpers escaped from my throat. I moved back.

Mallika: Apna saaman bandho aur niklo varna iske jaisa haal hoga. Aayi badi mere Cadbury par dore daal rahi thi.😒

She said with venom in her voice. Tears fell down from my eyes.

Krish: Sir!

He came near me hold me by my shoulders. He made me sit on the couch and rubbed my back. I am trembling. She killed an innocent in front of my eyes again. I can't live with a killer. I need to escape. 

Krish: Paani.

He gave me water but my hands were shivering. He made me drink water and rubbed my back softly. I looked down in my lap and took some deep breaths. It is not helping.

Mallika: Cadbury.

She came near me. I flinched listening her voice. I want to cry so bad. I felt Krish bhaiya moving away. She put her hand on my shoulder.

Mallika: Baccha kya hua?

She asked softly. Look at her. Just look at her. She is behaving like she didn't killed anyone few seconds back. She hold my chin and made me look at her. I jerked her hand.

Sumedh: Mere paas mat aao. Tum. Ek. Khooni. ho.😨

I said in with my tone trembling.

Mallika: Babyboy, this is mafia. We kill here like we breathe.😈

I shivered.

Sumedh: Kitni behrehmi se maar rahi thi tum usse. Ek din mujhe bhi aise hi maar dogi?🥺

Mallika: Cadbury!

She shouted. I flinched.

Sumedh: Jab chahe tum kisi ko saza do. Jab chahe kisi ki jaan lelo. Ye right tumhe kisne diya? Tum ye nahi kar sakti. Tumhe rukna hoga. Jaan jaan hoti hai, chahe kisi ki bhi ho.🥺

I looked in her eyes and saw no emotion.

Sumedh: Mujhe bas itna pata hai ki jo chiz jinda hai usse maarne ka kaq kisi ko nahi hai. Chahe insaan ho ya janwar.😭

I sobbed.

Sumedh: Mai tumhare saath nahi reh sakta.😭

She stared me darkly. 

Mallika: Maine tumse kya kaha tha? Mere khilaaf hote hi tum mera vo roop dekhoge jisse sab darte hai.😈

She tilted her neck. She is looking like a psycho. I have to run. She leaned on me. I shivered. I looked at my left and right to see any way to go away from her. She grabbed my cheeks and made me look at her. I yelped when she squeezed them hard.

Sumedh: Mujhe jane do.😣

I whimpered.

Mallika: Nahi. Kabhi nahi. Tum mujhe chodh kar nahi jaa sakte.😡

She gritted her teeth staring in my soul through my eyes.

Sumedh: K.. kyu?😧

Mallika: Tum sirf mere ho. Sirf mere.

Sumedh: Mai tumhara kaise ho sakta hu? Mai kisi ka nahi hu chodho mujhe.

I wriggled in her tight grip. Her one hand was squeezing my cheeks and other was holding my hand not letting me move it. My body was pinned on the couch by her body weight. She is heavy.

Mallika: You are mine. Only mine.😈

She said leaning into my ear and staring in my eyes from the side.

Sumedh: Nahi, mai kisi ka nahi hu chodho mujhe.😟

I suddenly felt her leaving me. 

Mallika: Tumhe pyaaar se samjha rahi hu. Tum iss mansion se bahar nahi jaa sakte.

Sumedh: Kyu? Ye jabardasti hai.

Mallika: Oh Babyboy you are caged.

I saw her going away from my sight.
