Author's p.o.v

" I am your biological father," Khalid said and the sword from raakshas's hand fell on the floor.

Raakshas became frozen in his place. His blood turned cold and he felt like his body isn't functioning anymore. his mind went totally blank. He isn't even blinking his eyes.

He is only looking at Khalid like a statue. His whole life he craved for his father. He never imagined that he is working under his own father.

He growled at Khalid, " Do you think I believe you, Khalid? You are lying. You are trying to manipulate me. I don't believe in your bullshit talking."

Saying all this Raakshas punched him like a maniac. Khalid coughed more blood and replied," It's the truth. If you want to do a DNA test then go ahead. But, trust me, the truth will never change."

The confidence in Khalid's voice is telling Raakshas that Khalid is saying the truth. Raakshas isn't understanding he should believe Khalid or not.

" How do you know my mother?" Raakshas hissed at Khalid almost choking his neck. He lifted up Khalid with his one hand. His eyes are red and his nose is flaring due to anger.

Khalid started struggling for oxygen thrashing his hands and feet everywhere. He is almost on the verge of fainting when Raakshas left him.

Khalid started coughing loudly and sucked as much as oxygen he could. After a few moments, he became normal.

Then Khalid started saying," Your mother was a high profile prostitute. Because of her beauty, she was very familiar with high society. She used to warm bed for rich businessmen, politicians and gang leaders like me."

Raakshas closed his eyes due to hurt thinking about his mother. He still curses himself for being born as a prostitute's son. He still remembers how everyone used to bully him saying that his mother is whore.

Raakshas opened his eyes hearing Khalid's voice," I took an interest in her and started having a relationship with her. In a short period, we became closer. I couldn't resist her beauty. I was just passing my time with her. But, your mother thought my time pass as love. I never told her that I love her. Still, she assumed that I love her."

" Then? Raakshas asked without any emotion in his voice. His inside is becoming void of all emotions.

Khalid continued," I was in a relationship with her for almost one year. One day she informed me that she is pregnant with my child. She wanted her child's right from me. She wanted me to accept her child. I was angry and refused her immediately to accept her child. I couldn't let a prostitute be the mother of my child. I told her to abort the baby and gave her a huge amount of money. She tried to blackmail me saying that she will tell everything to my wife. I gave her more money and told her to shut her mouth. After that, I broke up with her."

" Just because of your lust I was born! Do you have any idea that your refusal made her a crazy woman? Do you have any idea what I used to face because you rejected her? Huh!! What was my fault? Huh!! What was my fault to endure all those tortures when I was just a little boy?" Raakshas screamed at the top of his lungs remembering his childhood. His eyes are now showing too much hurt and agony. He can feel the pain inside his chest.

Khalid didn't say anything to Raakshas. He is just looking at Raakshas without any emotion. But, he is sure that he can use this father card to save himself from Raakshas.

" You refused me in the first place. Then, why did you take me to your house? Why you gave my responsibility to Abdul chacha?" Raakshas asked Khalid impatiently. Today he wants all the answers of his unanswered questions.

Khalid took a breath and started saying," After so many years I came to know about you from the TV. One day, I was in my office and watching TV. I was just passing my leisure time. I was changing channels while I noticed that one of the news channels were broadcasting a news about a little boy who killed his own mother. The reporter was saying that in a brothel one of the prostitutes was murdered by her own son."

Hearing Khalid, Raakshas remembered that day when this society gave him the name Raakshas(demon). He still remembers how the neighbours were spitting on him calling him a demon. Raakshas fisted his palm remembering all those painful memories of him.

Then Khalid started narrating," I don't know why I was curious to know who is the boy. I was shocked when I saw your mother's name and picture on the TV. It didn't take much time for me to understand that the boy is none other than my bastard son. Because I knew that because of complications, your mother couldn't abort you. I saw you on the TV and felt that you are merciless and ruthless just like me. Without wasting any time, I went to the brothel and found you. I brought you with me out of pity as you became an orphan. I did a DNA test as well which showed me that you are my son. I was amazed seeing your cruelty when you stabbed another gang leader for me. I have always wanted a weapon that will be unstoppable. I wanted a weapon that will be able to create fear in everyone's mind. I wanted a weapon that will make my business stronger and give me power. Seeing your potentiality, cruelty and ruthless nature I understood that you can be that weapon. You have the potentiality to become that unstoppable weapon of mine. That's why I made you the most feared mafia teaching you all type of illegal works."

Raakshas became numb after hearing his father. He can't believe his father never cared for him. He just used Raakshas. He never thought that this cruel world will show this reality like that. Raakshas was deceived by his own parents.

" So, You used me for your own interest! I was your son. Your blood. Still, you made me a demon. I was your son just like Azhar. How can you just use me like that? Raakshas screamed and a few drops of tears escaped from his eyes. It's the first time that he is crying in front of Khalid.

Khalid decided to say all the truth which he feels about Raakshas. He said sternly," You are just my son in name. How can you expect me to accept a whore's son? Be grateful to God that I decided to adopt you and gave you a new life."

" And that new life lead me to the destruction. Do you have any idea how many people I have killed for you? Do you have any idea how many lives I have destroyed just because you made me a demon!!! Raakshas said pulling his hairs out of sadness and frustration.

Khalid didn't say anything. He is just looking at Raakshas with his expressionless eyes. He is still looking at Raakshas when Raakshas raised the sword in the air to behead Ibrahim Khalid.

Before his sword could touch Khalid's neck, Khalid reminded Raakshas," You can't kill me. I am your father. Don't you remember? Your life is given by me. I am your God. You can't kill me."

Raakshas stared at his face for some time breathing heavily. Raakshas doesn't know what's he feeling right now. But, he can feel the betrayal by his own father. His whole life he carved for his father's love. His whole life he just wanted to see his father for once. And, when he met his father, he comes to know that his father is a completely selfish jerk who used his own son to gain power.

" Baba(Father)," Raakshas said emotionally and Ibrahim Khalid became shocked hearing the word.

Raakshas hold Khalid's shoulder and said crying," I am sorry to misbehave with you. You don't know how much I have craved for your love. You don't know how much I wanted to hug you."

Ibrahim Khalid composed his shocked expression and a smile formed on his lips. He understood that he has successfully fooled Raakshas.

" Come beta(dear). Hug your father," Ibrahim Khalid said pulling Raakshas into a bone-crushing hug.

Then, Khalid heard Raakshas's blank voice," It's the first time as well as last time I called you baba."

Before Khalid could react, his breath got hitched, a loud scream left his mouth and blood oozed out from his mouth when he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. He touched his belly and found something liquid.

He looked at his hand and found blood. It didn't take much time for him to understand that Raakshas has stabbed him with a sharp knife.
