Arakshi FF : The Purgatory MasqueradeChapter : Tres
"Know Thy Enemy"
Past
He couldn't just walk into her cabin and ask her to join him knowing she would say no right away.
He couldn't risk being exposed... Not yet.
And neither could he kill her if she tried to go to the police.
No, he needed to calculate Saakshi first. See if she's trustworthy enough..see if she actually defined the purity..the innocence..the humanity that he had seen in her eyes.
So, he followed Saakshi home that day hiding behind the darkness. Watched her pray; then dancing around the kitchen in her cute PJs... and he couldn't stop that small smile creeping up on his stern lips well hidden beneath the hood.
He almost lost his balance, laughing at her ridiculous kawali whilst she had Alu paratha and aam chaatni.
He listened through the bug he had planted on the wall which transpired the sound from inside the house to his earpiece. Relishing on her food, she started her very famous shayeri to entertain herself,
"Buzurgo ne kaha hai k,
Chatni khana buri baat hai..
Arz karu?
Buzurgo ne kaha hai chatni khana buri baat hai.
Arre Buzurgo ne samjha hi kab tha k
Chatni khake nautanki karneka kuch aur hi baat hai."
"Wah wah." She praised herself, laughing, totally unaware that someone else was laughing too. He chewed, suppressing his laugh from getting loud. He finally stopped but then she started again.
She took the last bite and picked up the chatni bottle and started her kawali, dancing around the room.
"Yeh chatni bada mazaa hai, Yeh chatni muh mein ghusa hai
Yeh chatni bada mazaa hai, Yeh chatni muh mein ghusa hai
Yeh chatni sasta bhi hai, yeh chatni sushta bhi hai.
Yeh chatni sasta bhi hai, yeh chatni... chatni hai " She ended with big crescendo.
Snorting and laughing at the same time, she patted her back, leaving the vigilante amused and unaware to himself, lively. She finally putting a end to her nautanki for the night, drifted off to sleep, switching of the lights.
And he actually watched her sleep.
The last time he watched someone sleep was... her.
Aisha
And he didn't know why but he watched Saakshi sleeping peacefully, cuddling to her Spongebob pillow and mumbling encrypted codes in her sleep. Nerd.
Subconsciously he walked upto her sleeping form and gazed down on her innocent face shimmering under the moonlight coming from the window. He grazed her knuckles down on the sides of her face ever so softly.
His trance broke as she shifted in her sleep, sensing someone's presence in her room. She switched on the light and looked around. Her room was empty. But she was so sure she felt someone grazing her face lovingly.
Forever Alone, She pouted, reminding herself that she was alone..like always.
Sighing, she walked to the window and closed the binds. She stared out at the empty murky street for a moment or so; hoping to see somebody lurking there, unaware to herself.
Shaking her head, she retired to her bed once more.
Few minutes later, he benevolently climbed down the building from his hanging position next to her windowpane. [He's Da Arjunman yo! He can do anything😉]
Laters baby.
~*~*~
A middle aged man draped his bathrobe around him, getting out of his outdoor pool. His mistress held out a glass full of wine for him. He took the glass, giving a sloppy kiss to the young girl, ignoring that she actually filched disgusted by him.
The man was about to take another sip when a bullet crushed the glass he was holding in thousand pieces. Screaming, the girl hid her behind the bar counter and the man, scared at the black hooded man with two guns in each hand pointed at him from the other side of the pool.
"Mark Rivera. You have been accused of drug dealing and killing innocent people in the game ." The black hooded guy said in a deadly, deep stern voice, putting one gun under his jacket whilst pointing the other straight at Mr Rivera.
"You are a fool, coming here tonight. I have my men armed in every nook of this buiding to protect me." Mr Rivera croaked, trying to scare the vigilante away. Fool.
Rolling his eyes under the hood, the vigilante retrieved some guns from his back and dropped them on the floor.
"You mean them?" he said, smirking, booting the guns into the water, one by one.
"I'm giving you one chance to change. Surrender to the police..after..after you have given every penny you own to the families you have destroyed." He snared, emphasizing on every word he said and walked towards Mr Rivera..slowly, dangerously.
Mr Rivera, terrified, ran towards the bar counter. The vigilante stayed calm, smirking as he watched Mr Rivera fumbling to find a gun.
Finally Mr Rivera retrieved a gun and pulled the young girl by her hair, making her stand in front him, shielding him from the vigilante, knowing well that the vigilante won't harm the innocent.
Raged beyond words, the vigilante raised his gun to shoot, aiming at his forehead. He never misses a shoot, and he wouldn't miss this time too.
A bullet pierced through the poor girls head and she fell dead, on the floor.
Shocked, both the vigilante and Mr Rivera looked behind the vigilante. The pool was on 13th floor, a part of the penthouse. There were tall buildings all around the block.
The vigilante fired, noticing a shadow in one of the rooftops.
And the unknown person fired back. Mr Rivera fired at the other person too but soon, he got shot and fell on the pool.. dead.
The vigilante ducked behind the bar counter and fired back a few times. Then when there were no bullets firing back, he left, confused; glancing at Mr Rivera's dead body whirling on the red water.
This was the 2nd case. Last night, something similar happened to the Jack Solleman's case. Someone had blasted off his whole house before he could even go there.
Someone else was killing too... apart from him.
But why?
And who?
