Mafia's Dawn by Petillant Alba (phonics story books .TXT) 📗

Cool breeze was swaying the wilted leaves with it, making the darkness of the alley more horrendous. Croaking of frogs and sounds of crickets and katydids were surrounding the darkness. He was walking with his jacket hung on his elbows ignoring that darkness around him as the darkness inside him was far more chilled and cold than the outside one. It didn't affect him at all as he was drowned deep in the thoughts. He sat on the bench behind the bushes which were facing the lake, a calm cold lake. The beauty of lake just made him remember about her. She was pure and calm like water but wasn't dangerous as the water sometimes do such things which we always regret of. Some says floods are curse from the God and some says it is just for heavy rain. But she wasn't the curse from the God , indeed she was a gift, a pure angelic one. She couldn't harm anyone but he could get hurt by her. She wouldn't hurt him in purpose but if he started addicted to her she would be as dangerous as water. 

You are already addicted to her.

His conscience spoke from inside at which his heart skipped a beat. How could he get addicted to a simple girl? 

She isn't simple. You already know that. You just said she is like water. Water isn't a simple thing. 

His conscience again blurted out. If he was already addicted to her then it means his bad time was about to start. According to him, addiction apart from killing people and addiction of things wasn't so dangerous as compared to the addiction of a human, especially a girl. He was staring at the lake with his piercing deep dark eyes. He didn't want history to repeat itself. If it repeated then he won't be able to survive this time. 

"You love me right?" She placed her palm on his cheeks.

" I do." He couldn't smile as he knew something was about to go wrong. 

" Then take care of yourself and your sister for me." She said as her dark hazel eyes were slowly closing....

He shook his head as he didn't want to remember further. He dropped his head in between his hands as he wanted to agreed with his heart but brain was ringing the danger bell. 

You can't live without her.  Heart tried to make him understand.

Do you want to face that pain again. Brain stepped in.

What if she found out you aren't going to love her after all what she had done to you just for you are scared of. Heart again tried.

But still breaking her heart is better than breaking yourself. Brain wasn't about to give up.

She is a fragile girl. I know you care about her.  Heart wanted him to step on a right path.

Just care about yourself. Brain blurted out.

Do you want that fragile soul to endure the pain which you did. Heart was about to cry at his sardonic behavior.

"No, I can't. I don't want anyone to feel that pain which I did." He spoke to himself.

If you love her than you can't see her in a miserable state. Heart spoke again as he felt he was about to win the battle with the brain.

"I can't see her in pain. She is innocent." He again rasped.

So you love her?  Heart stated more than answered as he smiled a little.

"D-do I . I love her." And heart won the battle. But least did he know what would be the consequences after that. 

After few seconds of thinking he got up. He wore his jacket and marched towards the hotel. It's late at night he knew Fatima wouldn't be asleep. She would be waiting for him. A smiled had captured his lips as he had realized he couldn't live without her. He was then tired of everything.  Whenever he took revenge from anyone he felt a soothing sensation inside him but in case of her , whenever he hurt her he just felt one thing and that is pain. But now he won't he vow to himself as he stood in front of the hotel's room.
