Raakshas - A human demon novel Chapter 5

Pari's p.o.v

" Di, I know everything," Prisha teased me making me blushed.

I just roll my eyes and said giving her the shopping bags," you are always getting in my nerves. Now, will you just shut up and get in the car?"

She said playfully," Fine, I am going but don't forget to tell me how was your date with Azhar bro."

" How do you know his name? I asked her being surprised.

She chuckles and said winking at me," Come on Di. I know everything about you and Azhar Bro's relationship.

" Prisha, will you go or I should......." I said and pulled her ear tightly.

She yelled," Oh...Di...I am going. Now, leave my ear."

After that, she left the mall area with Constable uncle obviously after teasing me again about Azhar.

Well, Prisha and I came to the mall for buying some clothes for Diwali ( Indian Festival). Moreover, I wanted to meet Azhar. I am so excited that finally, I am going to meet him.

You must be wondering who is this Azhar. Well, he is my soulmate, my love. After my family, I love him more than anything else. We are in a relationship for almost 3 years.

First, we got to know each other via Facebook and got into a relationship. My intention to come to India was not only meet Papa but also Azhar. I was dying to meet him. I was dying to see him face to face.

In our 3 years of relationship, we didn't see each other face to face though we have talked via video calls many times.

I am too much excited that finally, I am going to meet him. Today, I will tell him to talk with my father about marriage. If I get married to him then I will be able to stay in India. Then, I will be able to be with Papa frequently and can fulfil my dream of taking care of my poor country people.

I know we are from different religion but it doesn't matter because we love each other and respect our religion.

Right now I am going towards the nearby cafe where Azhar has told me to come. I entered the cafe and it's a simple cafe with fewer customers. I liked it.

I sit in a chair and started waiting for Azhar. I am feeling nervous thinking that how will he react after seeing me face to face. But, why is he getting so late!

I take out my phone to call him when I found that he is entering into the cafe. Seeing him my heartbeat skipped. He is looking so handsome. He is wearing an ash colour t-shirt with blue jeans. His brown skin tone is looking so nice.

He is searching for someone. Well, he is searching for me and that's when our eyes met each other and he gives me a genuine smile. His smile is so beautiful.

He comes forward and sits on a chair in front of me. We both are nervous and not understanding what we should say. We are now sitting awkwardly.

" You are looking very beautiful," Azhar complimented me and I blushed. Finally, he has broken the silence between us.

I just said thank you giving a smile. After that, we started talking casually and finally, we become comfortable with each other. And that's when I told him those sentence which I was burying inside me for many days.

" Azhar, Send a marriage proposal to my house. I can not stay away from you anymore," I said holding his hand.

He sighs and said," I understand, Pari. I can not also stay away from you. But, I am worried about my father. I don't know why I am feeling that my father is not going to accept you."

" Is it because of my religion? Come on. We are in the 21st century......" I can not complete my sentence when he said," it's not about religion. It's your father's profession."

" What do you mean?" I asked him knitting my brows.

He said taking a deep breath," Well, your father is a police officer and my father isn't that fond of police."

" But, why is that? Police profession is a Nobel profession," I protested.

He replied holding my hands," You will not understand all these things. But, don't worry. I will do something as soon as possible to make my father understand."

I just smiled at him and said," I believe in you. I hope we will be together."

" We will be together," He said giving me a genuine smile and I again skipped my heartbeat. I used to love him but after meeting him I have fallen in love with him again. His personality attracts me more.

We are now talking about our future plans when we heard a reporters voice from TV.

" Today police have found a dead body which has no skin like someone had skinned the person brutally."

" How can someone be so cruel," I said looking at the T.V. Day by day people are becoming animals. How can one person just kill another!!!

" Yey kam Raakshas ke bina awr koyi nehi kar sakta ( it can only be done by Raakshas), I heard Azhar murmuring.

And this time I look at him with boring expression.

I asked him curiously," Who is this Raakshas? Zab se aaya ho India tab se bas ishika he nam sun raha ho. Hey kawn yey ( Since I have come to India, I am only hearing his name. Who is he?)

" Bas ek mawali hey nothing else ( Just a simple thug nothing else)," Azhar said and I knitted my brows. Why would someone fear a simple thug! Strange!

"Why don't police catch him and give him punishment if he is doing something illegal? Lagta hey mujhe papa se bat karne paregi ish Raakshas ke bare mey. ( I think I should talk with papa about this Raakshas)," I said looking at Azhar.

Azhar is still looking at the TV with terrified eyes when I nipped my fingers in front of him and he comes back from his daze.

I asked him smilingly," By the way, how are Ayat and Afreen? I can't wait to meet them."

" Yes, they are also making me mad to meet them with their bhabhi( sister-in-law), Azhar said and I blushed.

Azhar is now started teasing me about our future. He said playfully winking at me," I want 5 kids with you."

" Oh hello, mister! I am a human. Koi baccha payda karnewali machine thodi na ho. ( I am not any machine of giving birth)," I said pouting and he laughed loudly. I also joined him and I have to admit that he looks too good when he smiles.

" I want my babies to look like you. So innocent and beautiful. Sometimes I become confused thinking that you are an Indian. Your looks are very different from average Indian girls. Specifically, your green eyes," Azhar said amusingly and I chuckled.

I said chuckling," I am a complete Indian. Actually, my mother's ancestors are from Germany. Their genes run on me. My mother used to have the same green eyes."
