Author's p.o.v
" What? Raakshas's mother was a prostitute? Pari asked with a shocked expression on her face.
Abdul took a deep breath and said sadly," It's unfortunate that his mother was a prostitute."
Pari is still looking at Abdul with her shocked eyes when Abdul started saying," Raakshas was never a demon. He was made like that."
" What happened to him that he became like that? Pari asked curiously. She doesn't know why she is very eager to know about Raakshas's past.
Then, Abdul started saying," Raakshas was just 10 years old when I first met him. I was Sarkar's butler. One day Sarkar came into the house with a boy whose hands were covered by blood."
"Blood? On a 10-year-old boy's hand? Pari asked with her shocked and frightening voice.
Abdul replied nodding his head," Yeah. Raakshas was taken by Sarkar when Raakshas killed his own mother. Police were going to take Raakshas into juvenile court but Sarkar didn't let them. As Sarkar was a wealthy and a gang leader with political power so police didn't protest and let him took Raakshas."
Pari became dumbfounded learning that Raakshas killed his own mother. His mother was a prostitute still she was his mother. She has held him in her womb for 9 months. She has given birth to him. How can he kill his own mother!!
Pari is blinking her eyes fastly because of shock. A 10-year-old boy murdered his own mother! This thing is too much for Pari.
Pari asked Abdul chacha curiously," But, why he killed his own mother? For God's sake, she had given birth to him."
Abdul sighed and replied, "Raakshas only told me that his mother was very abusive who used to torture him a lot. But, he never told me what kind of torture he has gone through. Maybe his mother used to beat him a lot. You might have seen the scars on his body. He told me that he hates his mother. He hates her profession. His mother was the reason behind Raakshas's hatred towards prostitutes."
Hearing him, Pari remembered Raakshas's body which was covered by many scars. She is now confirmed that his mother was the one who tortured him so brutally. She is now feeling pity for Raakshas. But, one question clicked inside Pari's head and it was " How the hell Raakshas entered into the mafia world? And why his name is Raakshas?"
She asked Abdul Chacha," But, how Raakshas get involved in the mafia world? And why his name is Raakshas?"
Abdul looked at her and nodded his head. He said standing up from his chair," It's a long story."
" I want to know," Pari replied standing behind him.
Then, Abdul started saying," That day when Sarkar brought Raakshas in the house I was shocked hearing about Raakshas from Sarkar's mouth. He has killed his own mother but there was no emotion on his face. He was blankly looking at everything. I asked him 'What's your name?'. And he whispered in my ear 'I am Raakshas.' I was taken aback by hearing him. Raakshas was always a little bit creepy from his childhood. I don't know why Sarkar brought a 10-year-old boy with him where he was already had, children. Sarkar gave me the responsibility to take care of Raakshas."
Abdul stopped his saying for a few seconds when Pari asked him," Then?"
This time Abdul turned at Pari and continued his saying," After two days of Raakshas's arrival, another gang leader came to meet Sarkar about some drug dealing. They were having some argument about that matter. Things became worse and that gang leader threatened Sarkar that he will kill Sarkar. He also pointed his gun at Sarkar's head. Everyone became shocked seeing all this. That gang leader was almost going to shoot Sarkar when someone stabbed a knife on his waist from behind. Do you want to know who was the person?"
Pari nodded her head in positive and Abdul replied," It was none other than Raakshas who killed that gang leader."
The more Pari is knowing about Raakshas the more she is becoming shocked. She is now feeling scared too. What if Raakshas wants to kill her if she does something which he doesn't approve of?
She is still looking at Abdul with her open mouth when he continued," After that incident, Sarkar became pleased on Raakshas. He understood that Raakshas's ruthless nature will be profitable for him in the future. He sent Raakshas into school for institutional education as well as he taught Raakshas about all those weapons, drugs, illegal businesses etc. And slowly slowly Raakshas became the right-hand man of Ibrahim Khalid. Because of Raakshas's ruthless nature, Sarkar's business started growing up.
Sarkar became the drug lord of India because he has the back up of Raakshas. Among all the years Raakshas and Sarkar developed a relationship which is like a father-son relationship. Sarkar considers Raakshas as his own son."
After hearing everything, Pari was silent for some time like she is thinking something deeply. She is stunned after hearing everything. She is now understanding the reason behind Raakshas's cruelty.
Abdul pour himself a glass of water and drank it hurriedly. He looked at Pari and found her lost in deep thought.
Suddenly, Pari said looking at Abdul," You are wrong Abdul chacha. That Sarkar of you doesn't consider Raakshas as his own son. He is just using Raakshas for his own interest."
Hearing Pari's words, Abdul coughed the water and asked her confusingly," What do you mean?"
" I mean if Sarkar really considered Raakshas as his own son then he would have made Raakshas a better person by giving him the proper moral education. Raakshas was already abused and broken. Your Sarkar should have given him proper care and keep away him from every violence which affected Raakshas's already abused brain. Your Sarkar has just used Raakshas for his own reason," Pari replied sternly and Abdul got shocked hearing Pari's words.
Abdul has lost his words but he has to agree with Pari that Pari's words are true. Somewhat he also doesn't like Ibrahim Khalid for making Raakshas a cruel person.
Abdul is looking at Pari with his unbearable expression when Pari said sternly," Honestly speaking I don't like your so-called Sarkar. I don't like Raakshas at all. I hate both of them. I admit that he has endured pain in his childhood. Still, he is human. He has a conscience. After becoming adult he should have think before doing all the crimes. He is a criminal and he will remain a criminal."
Pari remembered how Ibrahim Khalid tried to sell her and her sister into a brothel. She also remembered Raakshas's every humiliation towards her father. She mentally cursed Ibrahim Khalid and Raakshas.
She doesn't want to continue this conversation anymore. So, she decided to leave the room. Pari tried to leave the room when Abdul replied defending Raakshas," He was made like that. It's not his fault. "
Pari turned at Abdul and said sternly," He was made like that and he has accepted it. Accepting all the wrongdoings after becoming an adult is his fault."
Saying that she started to leave the room but stopped in front of the door. She turned her head towards Abdul and asked him curiously," Abdul chacha, do you know someone named Rajveer?
" Umm....I don't know. Why are you asking? Abdul asked her.
Pari didn't reply to him and left the room. She is stunned after learning about Raakshas. Though she said that she hates Raakshas but deep down in her heart she is feeling sad for that little Raakshas who was abused by his mother.
Raakshas's p.o.v
I entered into the hospital cabin where Vedant was admitted. Well, he is recovering very fast. It will take one or two more days for him to get a discharge from the hospital.
After entering into the room I found Vedant's children and Niharika are also here. I can see Niharika's scared expression.
Vedant is coldly looking at Niharika. I know very well that Niharika is going to see hell when Vedant will be discharged from the hospital because she had helped Pari in her escape plan. And it was me who informed Vedant about Niharika's doings. I don't know this time which bone of Niharika's body is going to break.
A smile formed on my lips seeing Vedant's curious children who are busy in exploring the hospital cabin. I wonder how it will feel when I will have my own children.
Pari will be the mother of my children. I am sure she will protest to have my children but I will do anything to make her pregnant by my seeds. She will give birth to my children with her consent or without her consent.
I will love my children with my whole heart. I will not let them face the same fate which I had faced. I will be a good father.
I have never seen my father even for once in my life. I am sure my father must be another fucker who didn't look behind after making my mother pregnant. Because of him, I became an unwanted child for my mother. My mother was another witch. She was a prostitute and that woman used to have multiple relationships with other men. She used to torture me saying that my father cheated on her. I wasn't at fault whatever my father had done with her. I don't even know what kind of relationship they shared. I always thought that my father might be one of my mother's customers. But, she used to tell me that my mother and father loved each other and my father cheated on my mother. My whore mother used to blame me for those reasons which I have never understood.
I am lost in my thoughts when Vedant looked at me and said," Hey, man. Why are you standing? Sit."
He gestured me to sit in front of him on a chair. I walked towards the chair and sat on it.
Vedant told Niharika with a chilly tone," Take the kids out and give them something to eat. They are hungry."
Hearing him, Niharika immediately left the cabin with the children having a scared expression on her face.
After her leaving Vedant asked me," Did you find any information about the attacker?"
" Not yet. But, I am really confused about something," I replied remembering that attacker's face.
Vedant asked me confusingly," What is it?"
I said pinching the bridge of my nose," I don't know you will believe me or not. I have seen that attacker's one glance and he looked exactly like Manish Chauhan."
" What? Vedant yelled so loudly that I felt my ear is ringing.
He asked me with a shocked expression," What are you telling me? Manish is still in our captivity. He can't attack. You might have seen someone else."
" You know about my memorization power. I am sure it was Manish. I have seen his face," I said confidently because I have seen a glimpse of Manish that day.
We are still arguing about this matter when Imran entered into the cabin hurriedly. He didn't even ask for my permission.
Seeing him my already pissed off mood became sourer and I barked on his face," Why did you enter without permission?"
He replied lowering his head," Master, I am sorry to disturb you. But, I have some information about Manish's matter."
