<<I say what I mean, and I do what I say.>>

Ragini

His dangerous voice reached my ears but it didn't seem to affect me. I wasn't feeling anything. It was like my body got paralyzed. I couldn't move any part of my body as I kept staring the man in front of my eyes with the knife through his throat and blood everywhere. My heart got clenched in my chest. I was scared, shocked, disgusted, angry, nervous and what not.

This man is not a human. He killed that man without a single line of regret or anything on his forehead and still I couldn't see any kind of remorse on his face. He doesn't have any emotions.

He got up from the chair in anger, resulting the chair to fall back with a loud sound. Everything else was silent. He barged towards me and held my arm tightly and made me stand forcefully. My legs were still not cooperating with me. I couldn't feel my legs. It was just his strong hold which was holding me up otherwise I would have fallen down again.

"Didn't I tell you to stay in the room?" he asked, his voice laced with fury.

His tone shook and scared my soul. Words were not forming in my throat because of his looks. He seemed ready to kill and after witnessing the scene in front of my eyes some seconds ago I didn't have any doubt about the fact that he will not think once before killing me. He enjoys killing.

"You thought that I was joking when I said that I don't tolerate the one who disrespect and disobey me?" he asked still in the same tone.

Still, I couldn't say anything. He tightened his grip on my arm and I found myself flinching.

"Clear everything." he said turning to his brothers for once and then started pulling me with him.

He was pulling me like I wasn't a human being but an object who don't get hurt and feel pain. He didn't even seem to slow down on the stairs. My legs were badly hitting the stairs and I was crying without making any noise.

As we reached on the ground floor he pulled me upstairs to my room. He pushed me inside and I fell on the floor. He locked the door and then looked at me. My heart started running fastest as he kept taking steps towards me. He stopped in front of me and bent down to my level.

My eyes fell on the blood on his shirt. He was wearing a red colored shirt but it couldn't hide the red color of the blood of that man whose family was still crying in the basement of this ruthless mafia's house. I was feeling like puking. I wanted to run as far as possible from him.

"Why did you leave the room when I ordered you not to?" he asked with gritted teeth and clenched jaw.

A wave of anger passed through me as I remembered what he did a few minutes ago and now he was behaving like nothing happened. All he caring about was his order, his command! The scene started playing in front of my eyes on rewind mode. I looked at him with rage filled eyes.

"You're a monster. You're worse than an animal." I shouted at the top of my lungs.

He smirked at that and tried to hold my hand but I pulled my hand back as I started hitting him with my fists and legs.

"Don't touch me with your filthy hands. Stay away from me you beast. You're a murderer. You killed a human like an animal. In fact, animals don't kill like that. You don't fit in the category of animals too." I screamed on his face as I kept hitting him on his chest and face.

My attacks didn't seem to affect him a bit but the fury in his eyes increased. He was looking more scary and with that I knew that I had pushed him to the edge. Now, there wasn't any way back. He was going to kill me.

He held both of my hands at my back with his one hand and with the other hand he held my jaw in a steel grip. I felt my hands and jaw paining like hell as I kept struggling to get free.

"For that I must have let you go but for this I won't. Do you think you can shout on me, scream on my face and hit me and I'll let you go? You didn't listen to the very first order I gave you and then you disrespect me. You're going to regret it. You surely are." he spoke in his threatening voice.

I'm going to regret it? My body started shaking with the very first thought that came in my mind.

He was going to harm my brother?

"No... No, please don't harm my brother. I'll bear whatever punishment you'll give me but please don't do anything to my brother. Please... He's a child." I literally started begging in front of him.

All of my confidence and strength vanished in seconds. How can I be so stupid? How can I forget that he's having my brother and he can do anything to him if I tried to go against him.

I was brought out of my thoughts with his laughing sounds. He laughed for a few seconds and then smirked.

"Now you are behaving like a good girl." he said as the hand which was holding my jaw till now travelled to my cheek.

I was feeling like hitting his hand away and run away from his reach and touch but I didn't do anything. I couldn't.

"Don't worry, I won't punish your brother but you." he said as he left my hands and got up.

I let out a breath but my mind was on the thought about what he was going to do. He went to the washroom and came out after a few seconds and again sat in front of me.

"Don't you dare to scream!!" he warned as he brought his right hand in front of me.

My body tensed up seeing the thing in his hand. It was a razor blade.

God, what was he going to do with that? Thousands of thoughts crossed my mind in mere seconds and none of them was good.

"What... What are you going to do with this?" I asked in a trembling voice.

"I'm going to teach you a lesson. After that, you'll think thousand times before taking a single step against my wish." he said as held the blade in between his fingers.

My body started sweating and shaking with fear as he held my right feet in his hand.

"No no please don't do this. I'll not do anything against you. I promise. Please..." I started crying as I tried to free my leg from him but all went in vain.

He didn't seem to care about me and my pleadings because he didn't stop.

And the next thing I felt was a sharp and unbearable pain in my right feet as he moved the sharp blade in a line on it.

I screamed loudly at that. Blood started oozing out of my feet and I started crying in pain.

"Don't shout and stop crying. It's just a small cut." he said.

A small cut! It's just? I pressed my lips together to stop my cries. I was in no condition of angering him more.

"Now, you'll remember this before even getting a thought about going against my order, stepping a step against me." he said as he kept the blade away.

Tears were streaming down my eyes like waterfalls but I forced myself not to make any noise.

He then got up and took me in his arms and made me lay down halfly on the bed. I didn't protest. I don't trust him. He can do anything.

"I'm just coming." he said as he picked up the blade and moved out of the room.

As soon as he left I let my sobs free. The pain was too much. I kept crying for not too long because he came back followed by another man whom I didn't see before. The man was holding a bag in his hands.

He stood besides me and signed something to the other man. The man with the bag nodded as he looked at me.

"Look at her leg not at her face." came the beast's warning filled voice.

The man immediately turned his gaze away from me with a scared face and turned his attention to my leg. He unzipped his bag and took out some cotton, bandage and ointments from it.

He started cleaning the blood from the cut and I clutched the bedsheet to stop myself from crying aloud at the pain.

The doctor bandaged my leg. He then took out a syringe from his bag and my breathings stopped. He filled the injection with a transparent liquid and moved towards me.

"No injection please." I said to the doctor.

"It's needed buttercake." said the heartless man beside me as he held my hand in his and with the other he pulled the loose sleeve of my kurti up to my shoulder.

The doctor pricked the syringe in my skin and I tightened my grip on the mafia's hand as I closed my eyes shut.

"See, it's done." he said as he took the cotton containing some liquid from the doctor and rubbed it on my shoulder.

He then turned his eyes to the doctor who nodded as he started putting the things back in his bag and left the room.

As soon as the doctor left, the Mafia sat on the bed with my hand still in his.

"I didn't want to hurt you but it was necessary to teach you a lesson and let you know the outcomes if you'll not obey me and I hope you learned your lesson." he said as he patted on my cheek.

He was looking directly in my eyes, waiting for an answer. I didn't do or say anything but turned my eyes away.

"I asked you something that means you have to answer it and didn't I tell you to look at me when I'm near you?" he said as his scary tone started making it's way back.

I turned my eyes to him again and nodded my head in a yes. I didn't have any guts to disobey him again, not at that point of time atleast.

"I want words." he said with his eyes boring into mine.

"Ye... Yes..." I said in a low voice.

"Hmm... Good!!"

"You have to learn to obey. I'm the Mafia boss and I'm known for my words and ways. If anyone tries to cross me and disobey me, I don't let them go without punishment, whoever the person is. If I would have let you go then people may have started pointing fingers on me, my power and my justice. The rules are the rules and everyone have to follow them. Whether it's you or my brothers or me." he said as he got up from the bed.

"You take some rest. I'll come in a while to check on you." he said as he made his way out of the room, closing the door behind.

"I hate you. I hate you from every bit of me. I'm disgusted of you and your world. You don't have a heart. You're a beast and will be a beast." I said looking in the direction of the door.

I laid down properly on the bed and pulled the comforter onto my body. The tears were not ready to stop.

How he killed Jai? I didn't want to know but still I wanted to know. Did he kill him like he killed that man today? And he killed him just because of me. The thought was making me feel guilty.

What my life has become! I can't do anything. For such a small thing he did this don't know what he'll do if I tried to run away? What a weak girl like me is supposed to do in this situation?

My stomach was growling which reminded me that I didn't eat anything from the morning and in the night also I ate just for the name sake. I needed food but I didn't want to eat.

I closed my eyes but the scariest and heart shaking scene I witnessed in between the dark walls of this house came in front of my eyes again. I opened my eyes with a jerk. There were goosebumps all over my body. This nightmare is going to stay with me lifelong.
