🦋SHAINA🦋
I headed to the Angel’s convent, Nelly and Bhvana was at the gate waiting for me.
“Seriously Shaina, what took you so long” Nelly asked coming towards me.
I smiled, “The traffic was bad” I lied
We all headed to the garden.. My mind was still occu-pied with the story mum has told me and the do¢v-ments I saw at Rocky’s house…
“Should I tell them the truth, what I actually saw today”
“So….. How did it go” Nelly asked, I hesitated for a while thinking of a perfect lie to tell, but none was forthcoming.
“You better tell us the truth Shaina…. This is your mission we are talking about” Bhvana said.
“Well…. I saw some do¢v-ments, I guess he is a cop” I said
“saw some do¢v-ments… What type of do¢v-ments” Nelly asked.
“Just some investigation papers concerning…….. You know what, nothing reasonable was found in his house” I said.
“I have a feeling you are lieing but anyways, I would think of something else” Nelly said.
“Don’t worry, I think I got this…. I don’t nee-d any of your helps again…. I would just handle this my own way” I said.
Although I wasn’t sure if I was doing the right thing but I have a feeling that the deity want to deliver a message to me…. Like they want to teach me something.
They both stared at me, suprised I guess….. “I have to go now… I nee-d to see Arch angel DevesÂŁna before leaving” I said and disappeared.
I appeared at the church and saw her praying at the alter “Good Evening Arch angel Deves£na” I greeted.
She turned and stared at me before returning to her prayers, I sat down waiting patiently for her to finish with her prayers.
Few minutes later she was done and walked towards me….. “What do I owe this visit” she asked sitting down.
“Actually, its better we go to your office” I said.
“Don’t worry, its past visiting time…. No one will come here” she said.
I exhaled de-eply not knowing how to explain to her but I have to do that.. I have to explain to her somehow.
“Actually its about my mission……” I was saying when she cutted in.
“One thing you have to know Shaina is that you nee-d no b©dy’s help… This is your mission, sort it out yourself and learn the lesson its trying to teach you” she said.
I gulbe-d ha-rd “But what lesson do you think the deity want to teach me” I asked.
“That’s your job to find out…. Since I bec@mÂŁ an arch angel and was as-signed to earth, I have never seen an angel that spent more than ten years on earth” She said.
“So.. I have overstayed the duration” I asked surprised
“Yes… That’s why I told you, you were a special angel… Its left for you to find out what’s so special about you” she said.
“But how…. Am confuse, I don’t even know what else to do” I said almost in tears.
“Listen to your heart, it would lead you… Just trust that you can do this” She said.
“I doubt if I actually do trust myself…. Why would the deity gave me this mission, am so tired of it”
“No matter how tired you are, you must complete your mission…. Find the fire and quench it” She said and disappeared.
I exhaled de-eply…. Seriously why is speaking in parable, of all times.
I glanced at the clock, “Rocky must be awake now, what do I tell him that happened to him” I thought.
“What else, I would lie as usual” I said and disappeared.
🔥D🔥
SIX đź•• HOURS LATER…….
I mumbled getting up, my head was very heavy and I was still feeling a bit dizzy.
“What happened….” I asked looking around, the last thing I remembered was Shaina giving me a plate of pasta which I ate.
I looked around and saw the plate and spoon scattered on the floor, Shaina was nowhere to be found.
I jÂŁrked up from my be-d and made to leave but st©pped, it was alre-ady late and I don’t even know where she went to… I just have to wait for her to return.
I sat on my be-d thinking what happened to me within the past few hours I was asleep, that was when I noticed that my cabinet was a little open and my phone was on the floor….
“I never keep my phone on the floor for any reason” I thought reaching for my phone.
I unlocked it and checked the memory review only to find out my phone was tempered on.
“The fool opened my phone…. How dare she?” I thought.
“Where the hell did she even go” I thought looking around, I was still very weak, gosh whatever portion she gave me must really be powerful.
I took in a de-ep breath, hoping that my strength return fast…. My phone beeped… It was a text message from Chief Kumara Varma.
He sÂŁnt me the place I would be meeting him, the address wasn’t the same as his house address, I guess he must feel uncomfortable bringing in a stranger into his house of crime.
I texted Siddarth the address…. Few minutes later, he texted back reminding me to delete our conversations.
I quic-kly deleted them so I won’t forget……, I managed to get up and dropped my plate at the sink….
I sat on the be-d, planing out a nice speech to deliver to Varma when the door cracked open.
It was her Clumsy… “Coming from where” I asked not looking up to her.
“Actually my friend called me and said she found a job for me, so I went there to check it out” she said.
I stared at her…. My sure she is lieing but I just don’t have any evidence against her.
“What happened to me” I asked staring at her.
“Wh….what…d…o. ..you me….an…by…that” she stuttered feeling very comfortable.
Well it was written over her, “I feel asleep after eating your pasta, why” I asked.
“I don’t know…. Why are you asking me that, I ate the same pasta didn’t I” She said almost shouting.
I glanced at her “Its a total waste talking to her” I thought. I sighed and return to what I was doing.
The Next Morning…….
I woke up to my alarm clock, I glanced at Shaina, she was still asleep.
I dashed into the bathroom and had a long bath, I was thinking of how my meeting with Varma would go.
I was kind of nervous and scared, Varma is such an evil man and he doesn’t fail to punish his enemies or betrayers.
I c@mÂŁ out of the bathroom and found Shaina still enjoying her sleep…. I felt like pouring her cold water as a pay back to what she did to me but I can’t risk letting her know I was leaving.
I want to leave secretly to prevent any one from following me or tracking me.
I wore my clothe and left with my bag filled with a gun, my l@pt©p and the tracking devices Siddarth had given me the previous day.
I left the house immediately, covering my face with my face cap.

🦋SHAINA🦋
Immediately I heard the door open, I jÂŁrked up and wore my sli-ppers, I gradually opened the door so it won’t make any sound.
I began to follow Rocky, giving him some space gap….. Arch angel DevesÂŁna said I should find the fire and am on my way to find it.
Rocky is really behaving unusual and I think it has alot to do with the mission I was given.
Also, why would he leave his house hiding as if he is going to rob the bank or something….. Even if he is a thief am going to find out today.
He st©pped and turned back f0rç£fully, thank goodness I hide myself if not I would have alot to explain to him.
Like if he ask me why I was following him, what would I tell him.
He stood there for a while looking around, he must have suspected something really fishy and feel that someone was following him.
After a few minutes, he continued his walk, I kept following him, being extra ordinary careful.
He walked a few miles before he st©pped at a road side restaurant.., I guess he was alre-ady hungry.
I followed him, in glimpsing at him at any slightest opportunity…. He had a brief discussion with the waitress whom took him upstairs.
I followed suite, pretending I had come for a different business…. I watched them as they both enter a room, few minutes later the waitress c@mÂŁ out and put a sign infront of the door.
“Out Of Bound” I re-ad within wondering why they putted that sign, I summoned courage and approached the waiter since it was a she.
“Oh… He said he nee-ded some privacy… That’s why” She responded smiling.
“But why… That isn’t the restroom is it?” I asked.
“No… Its a eating room…. But he said he wants to have it all to himself” she said.
“And he is the only one in there right” I asked.
“Yes… He nee-d privacy, I guess he isn’t a social type because when ever he comes here, he always ask for a pri-vate room”
“Whenever he comes here, so he do come here…..?” I asked again.
“Am sorry ma, but we don’t disclose information about our customers…. If you would excuse me” she said and left.
I stood there, Rocky must be up to something and I must find out.
“Should I f0rç£fully open the door…. No, that won’t be good, he might throw me out of his house if I try such….”
I kept pacing around wondering the next step to take, just then I sighted a waiter carrying a tray of food.
“Thats it….” I thought smiling to myself. “You are taking the food to that room right” I asked, she stared at me for a while before nodding.
“I can help you with that…. Am sure you have other things to do” I said
“But you aren’t a worker or do you plan on sharing my salary with me”
“No…. No way, just lend me your uniform and I would return it as soon as am done okey” I said.
“Okey… But be sure you don’t get into trouble, I don’t want to lose my job” she said.
I nodded smiling, we exchanged cloth, I used her sefarh to cover my face leaving only my eyes, I bet it would be ha-rd for Rocky to recognize me.
She stood at a corner waiting for me while I carried the tray and headed towards the room.
I knocked gently at the door “Your food sir” I said trying so ha-rd to change my voice.
Few minutes later the door cracked open. I smiled to myself and looked up only for me to behold a different face.
I don’t un-derstand, the waitress had told me he was in the room alone so I should be seeing Rocky not some man with scares all over his face.
“Why aren’t you coming in?” he asked.
“Holy cra-p…. He has the same voice as Rocky…. What’s happening, am so confuse right now”
“Am sorry….” I said forging my voice… I walked in and headed towards the table to set the food when my eyes caught with Rocky’s face.
“It was a mask and it was on the table… There was also some blood wool on the table, his injury must be suffering so much, it nee-ds air to heal.
I quic-kly began to set the table so he won’t notice anything.
🔥D🔥
I glanced at her…. Something wasn’t right about her but I just can’t place it… She was staring at me as if she knowns me.
I sighed, shoving her off my memory I have more important things to worry about.
I picked up my phone to check the time, it was alre-ady past the time I and Siddarth fixed an appointment and it’s almost getting to the time for I and Varma’s appointment.
“Why isn’t he here yet” I thought nursing my wounds…. Although I wanted to finish cleaning my wounds before he comes but he should keep to appointment.
“Is anything the matter?” I turned and saw her staring at me.
“If you are done with setting the table, you are free to go” I said. I know she must be suprise…. I wasn’t looking like the handsome dude they gave their pri-vate room to.
I stared at the mirror, every single scar remained me of the misery I pas-sed throu-gh in the hands of that monster Bhalladev…. Each scar made me strong and a memory of how my parents were murdered in cold blood and how my life changed automatically un-der one night.
I have never imagined in my entire life that I would find myself as a slave but it did happened.
I bent down to hide the tears that clvstered in my eyes, I won’t want her to see it, but why hasn’t she left yet… I remember telling her to leave.
“I said you can leave….” I said incease if she didn’t hear the first, Am sure she must have noticed a tear in my tone.
“I can help you nurse your wounds” I heard her say, I looked up… She was staring at me with so much sympathy in her eyes… No doubt, she saw the tears.
I handed her over the wool, she knelt down beside me and began to clean my wounds.
🦋SHAINA🦋
I really didn’t know when I asked if I could nurse his wounds…. Gosh it just c@mÂŁ out on its own.
I guess its because I pity him… I really do, living everyday with a covered wound must be stressful and painful.
But how did those injury come about and why was he covering them with a different mask that has no resemblance with his real face.
I collected the wool which he was handing over to me and knelt down to nurse his injury.
“Its not that de-ep… Its nee-d air and it would heal” I said.
I noticed he was staring at me but I really don’t care, someone has to tell him the truth if not he would hurt himself in the name of hiding his scars.
“I know….” he said.
“Then why are you covering it up… Just six months of fresh air and good treatment and your face would go back to normal” I said.
“I know…..”
“You must be shy or would I say ashamed because of all this scars but trust me… Scars are just there to remind us of the difficulty we have gone throu-gh whenever we want to give up”
“I have an iron scar at my back…. I got it when I was seven years old, I was kidnapped by bad men whom tortured me even though I was a child”
“Why….”
“Its a long story…. Maybe I will tell you next time we meet, but sir…. It would be better if you st©p covering your wounds if you have no better reason of doing so”
“Do you think I love covering my face… Off course I have good reason’s of doing so”
“What reasons sir….” I asked staring at me, he too was staring at me.
“You better start talking, I didn’t give you all these prep talk for nothing” I thought.
He opened his mouth to talk but his phone beeped…. “Gosh… Of all times” I said standing up why he reached for his phone.
“I have to go now….” he said getting up “I guess you won’t be telling me your reasons right”
“I doubt… Am in a hurry and am alre-ady running late”
“Late to where… Seriously Rocky I am going to follow you till I know why you are doing this and eventually find out whom you can’t forgive”
“Okey… I have to attend to other customers now” I said and turned to leave but he gr@bbÂŁd me.
“You work here right” he asked…
Gosh why does he want to know that, its none of his business if I work here.
“Not really… Am on training so I might get the job, I might not” I lied.
“Your name….” he asked.
“What…. For” I stuttered.
“Just answer the question, if you want to leave this room alive” he said showing me his gun.
Gosh… He knows am Shaina, he recognized me, well I have nothing to worry about, its not as if I would die twice.
Die twice…. Off course, I would depreciate into thin air and that would be the end of me…. I would be wiped out of every bodies memory, no one were remember I ever existed not even my parents.
And above all, I won’t go to paradise either. I did better look for a nice lie.
“You think am joking here” his voice c@m£ again.
I glanced at him, he was alre-ady wearing the mask and putting on another cloth, I was now staring at Rocky and not the other guy with scars.
“Preeti” I lied.
“Good…. Preeti, you are the only person that have seen my real face in Mumbai, if you speak a word to another soul, I would kill you and mind you its not a request…. Its a threat” he said and left the room carrying all his things along.
To Be Continued……….
Hmm Shaina has seen D’s real face🤔🤔🤔
What do you think would happen next.
