Raakshas - A human demon novel Chapter 43

Author's p.o.v

" Why did you betray me, Abdul chacha? Why? Why........." Raakshas screamed at the top of his lungs and Abdul flinched backwards hearing Raakshas's loud voice. He is too much nervous seeing Raakshas's anger. Raakshas's wrath is something that nobody wants to face.

Abdul opened his mouth to say something but no words are coming out of his mouth. He has lost his words. He wasn't expecting that Raakshas will come to know about everything so fast. He was thinking of telling Raakshas about everything but before he does that Raakshas came to know about everything.

Raakshas looked at Abdul with full rage and asked laughing hysterically," You must be wondering how I come to know about your betrayal, right?"

" Raakshas, first hear m........." Abdul tried to say when Raakshas held Abdul's collar and barked on his face," What did you think you will take Azhar out under my nose and I will not come to know anything!!! Huh!!"

Abdul again opened his mouth and screamed," Listen to me, Raakshas....I didn't....."

Abdul couldn't complete his sentence when Raakshas started saying," you have stopped the CCTV cameras functioning very smartly. But, you forgot to cut the lines of the CCTV cameras which are on the back road of my property. I clearly saw in the footage how you helped him getting inside a car. Now, where did you send him?"

Abdul's eyes got widened with a pure shock like someone has dropped a bomb inside his head. He asked surprisingly," When did you attach CCTV cameras there?"

" It doesn't matter when I attached CCTV cameras? First, give me answers. Tell me why you betrayed me? You knew very well what has Azhar did with Pari still you helped him to escape? How dare you!!!!" Raakshas screamed and his voice echoed through the whole room like a thunderstorm.

Then, Raakshas started saying with his painful voice," I was just 9 years old when Sarkar gave you the duty of taking care of me. All the years you took care of me like my own father. Then, what happened suddenly that you chose to betray me?"

" Just listen.........." Abdul tried to say when Raakshas asked angrily," And Pari? How can you forget about her? Didn't you consider her as your daughter? Didn't you argue with me for her safety? Then, how can you just help her abuser while escaping?

Saying all this Raakshas looked at Abdul with pure hatred. His eyes are showing too much anger and hurt. Rakshas never thought in his life that Abdul will betray him.

" You even lie........." Raakshas tried to say but his sentence was cut in the middle when Abdul yelled at the top of his lungs.

Abdul yelled loudly," Enough......I have heard enough...Now, it's my turn. Now, you will hear me out."

Raakshas was stunned by hearing Abdul's voice. He raised his one brow in a questioning manner when Andul held Raakshas's collar tightly. Raakshas became astonished seeing Abdul's audacity of holding his collar.

" I helped Azhar because I wanted to see you remain alive. Did you hear me? I did all this to save your life. Did you understand? I didn't betray you," Abdul said yelling where he was having a hurtful expression on his face.

Raakshas become dumbfounded hearing Abdul. His mouth is now hung open and he is blinking his eyes repeatedly.

" What do you mean? From whom you were saving me? Raakshas asked Abdul impatiently.

Abdul sighed and replied making Raakshas shocked," I was saving you from Sarkar. He wanted to kill you."

Raakshas felt like his blood is becoming frozen hearing that Ibrahim Khalid wanted to kill him. It's the last thing Raakshas would expect from Ibrahim Khalid. Raakshas has that much trust in Ibrahim Khalid that he will never try to harm Raakshas let alone thinking of killing him.

" You are lying. I don't believe you," Raakshas said nodding his head vigorously.

Abdul replied with a stern voice," I am not lying. He threatened me to kill you."

" Ughh! Shut up..........just shut up.....I don't believe you......" Raakshas screamed and started throwing everything on the floor whatever he found on the nearby table. Just in the blink of an eye the whole room becomes messed up. Raakshas is now pulling his hairs angrily and throwing everything here and there. He is mumbling only one thing," Sarkar would never try to kill me."

Raakshas is still destroying everything when Abdul held him tightly from behind and said," This is the truth. You believe it or not this is the truth."

Raakshas stopped destroying everything and asked Abdul," Tell me everything clearly."

Abdul nodded his head and started narrating," After you came back with Pari I was summoned by Sarkar. I refused to meet him as I was very worried about Pari at that time. He called me over the phone and threatened me of killing you if I didn't help Azhar to help in escaping."

Raakshas felt like his whole blood is now boiling in anger just in the mention of Azhar. Moreover, he was hurt by the new found information. He still remembers how Ibrahim Khalid rejected Azhar as his son and told Raakshas to kill him. He can't believe Ibrahim Khalid has played with his feelings. He showed fake concern for Raakshas.

" If you don't believe me then I will hear you the call record," Abdul said taking out his phone from his pocket.

Raakshas is still looking at him with his incomprehensible expression when the recorded call started ringing. In the call, Ibrahim Khalid said," I want my son back, Abdul. Anyhow, I want him and you will help me with this. If you refuse to help me then I will kill Raakshas in front of your eyes. So, just d................

The sentence couldn't be completed when Raakshas threw away the phone angrily and it shattered into pieces.

Raakshas said gritting his teeth," He acted in front of me. He played with my feelings for Azhar. He took my feelings for him as a joke. He is a two-faced snake. I thought of him as my father but he..........

Saying all these Raakshas yelled in anger and hurt. He was a fool to think that Ibrahim Khalid will choose Raakshas over his own son.

Then, Abdul opened his mouth and said almost crying," Raakshas I was impotent from birth. I didn't have the chance of marrying and fathered children. You and Vedant are the only children I have ever had. I didn't want to lose you. I knew Sarkar for many years. If he says something then he definitely does this. I didn't want to lose you that's why I chose to obey Sarkar. His hand didn't tremble when he killed his own wife then you are just his right-hand man."

" That means he is hiding Azhar somewhere and there is a possibility that he knew about Azhar's plan? Raakshas asked Abdul with his unusual calm tone.

Abdul replied," Apparently yes. I don't know where is he hiding Azhar. But, it's possible that Sarkar knew about Azhar heinous plan about Pari."

After hearing everything Raakshas didn't say anything further. He just grabbed his favourite sword in his hand angrily and yelled," Today I will vanish Khalid from this earth."

Saying that Raakshas started going towards the main door where Abdul is yelling from behind. Abdul is telling him not do any stupidity do early but Raakahas isn't listening to any of his words.

Pari's p.o.v

I am pacing here and there inside my room like a crazy person. My whole mind is occupied by Niharika. Her crying face, those painful eyes, that doleful expression of her face isn't leaving my mind. I can't let that girl suffer like that. I don't know how will she react when she comes to know that her child will be aborted.

The loathe, the hate, the anger I have seen in her eyes for Vedant was clearly telling me that Vedant has done many heinous things to her. Moreover, she was talking about some Amma who was killed. Maybe, Vedant has killed her mother and that's why she hated him? But, I didn't understand when she told me her stupidity messed up everything. What the hell she has done?
