Chapter 21: Chapter 21

VR's pov

"Goods are coming from Myanmar and I want you to receive them from the border," My so-called father ordered chewing on the mutton leg piece and I saw him rubbing that whore's thighs with one hand.

I felt utterly disgusted seeing his behaviour and lowered my head. I don't know how my mother got to marry such a vile creature. I wish I was never a part of him. I wish someone else was my father.

I was still looking down when he asked showing me the leg piece," You want some? Hmm?"

" No," I replied shortly and he said sarcastically," Then, why are you still standing? Get lost."

I was going to say something when that whore offered me with her fake sugar-coated voice," Why don't you have your dinner with us? Mutton curry is your favourite too, right?"

" Some other time," I answered with tight lips.

I controlled my anger though I was feeling like choking her, beating her and killing her in the cruellest way possible. But, tsk tsk......without making her suffer I won't kill her.

Ignoring the thought of killing Srilekha I asked that manwhore," I want to talk to you about some important matter?"

" I am listening," He answered eating like a pig and I controlled my urge to spit on him.

Inhaling some air finally I uttered what was in my mind for the last few days. I had been in so much distress for the last few days and I needed to share it with him as early as possible.

I said bluntly," I don't want to work as a gang leader anymore."

Hearing me, he stopped eating and looked at me with amusing eyes. I gulped down when he stood up slowly.

Srilekha helped him wash his hands and then wiped them with a towel. All the time he was looking at me with intimidating eyes and Srilekha was giving me sorrowful looks. He signalled her to leave us also which she obeyed hurriedly.

" You forget so easily, I see," He said coming towards me and I stumbled back a little.

Resting one hand over my shoulder he started saying," My son has forgotten what I did to him last time when he refused to work for me."

No, I never forget what he did to me last time when I refuse to obey him. I just entered my adulthood when he forced me to do illegal work for him. I never wanted to be a gang leader, a criminal. I wanted to be an athlete but Alas!

I started living alone in my teenage but his abuse never stopped. I was 16 when he beat me into pulp just because I refused to obey him. I clearly told him that I will leave this country once I finish my studies. And, that was my fault and he showed me hell. I still carry those marks on my back. To hide those ugly marks I tattooed my whole back with a Viper.

Recently, I understood that I should stop doing all these illegal works. I want to leave this profession for my Angel. I can't see hatred in her eyes for me.

For the last few days, I had been noticing her closely. After knowing about my profession she has started going away from me. I can't find my previous Angel in this new Angel. Those eyes which used to reflect love for me, now the same eyes reflect hatred for me. I can't afford to lose her. She is my world, my everything.  For the first time, I fell in love with a girl and I will love her forever. I can do anything for her even if I have to go against my asshole father.

Exhaling some breath I uttered lowering my voice a little," I had been working for you for the last 5 years. I never disobeyed you or went against your choices. I think it's enough now. I don't want to......................."

My lips busted open, my face turned in another direction and I closed my eyes due to the punch he gave me. I clenched my jaw tightly and fisted my palm. My face turned red due to anger but I controlled my outburst with great difficulty.

" Listen you cunt, you are still under me because I haven't announced you my heir yet. If you want to walk away from me then you have to leave this house like a bagger and I will make sure you never find any work. Do you understand?" He said pushing me behind.

I was going to fall on the floor when he threatened me pulling my hair behind," If anything happens to my illegal business then I will let my men fuck your little girlfriend just in front of your eyes."

Those words left his mouth and I grabbed his collar tightly. I am literally seeing red after whatever he said about my angel!! Taking out my gun I pointed it at his forehead.

" Take back those words," I seethed looking directly into his eyes and he just chuckled.

I will just pull the trigger when his men grabbed me suddenly and I started wriggling and yelling. Spitting out some hateful words I again threatened him to take back his words but he only laughed like a maniac.

Coming forward, he whispered in my ear," In front of my men power you won't stand even for a second. So, be careful of what you do and say."

" I hate you," I shouted on his face.

Pulling my cheeks sarcastically, he said," I know. But, let me tell you one thing you son of bitch. Even if you kill me suddenly, my men won't let you leave peacefully. They will cut you into pieces and they will feed their dogs with your body. After that, you can imagine what they will do to your young and beautiful girlfriend."

Every cell of my body fumed with rage when he abused my dead mother verbally. My blood boiled with anger when he took Orni's name with his filthy mouth. I know I am now weak in front of him but I have the confidence that one day I will surely avenge my mother and myself. I will surely cut his tongue for taking those filthy words about the love of my life. My Orni.

The only thing I can do now is Patience. My day will come too, bastard. Just wait and watch.

Author's pov

Orni wore her school dress and started making ponytails on her hair. An adorable smile was lingering on her face and she was humming a song. She was happy with the freedom she got for 3 days.

" I am looking cute today," She complimented herself looking at her reflection and giggled. Then, she walked towards her table to pack her school bag.

Orni mumbled searching for her math book," Where is that boring book?"

" Why is your result going down day by day?" Orni heard her father's voice from behind and got startled.

She looked behind when her father threw her report card right across her face. Biting her tongue she took it in her hand and kept looking down.

" I asked you something," Sanjay shouted and Orni raised her head slowly.

She answered meekly," I am not being able to concentrate on my studies for the last few days."

" And, why is that?" Sanjay inquired and this time Orni started crying. She couldn't hold back her feelings anymore.

Hiccupping for a few seconds she whispered looking down," Papa, there is something I need to tell you. I involved myse.................

Before she could finish her sentence VR's threat rang inside her head. A chill ran down through her spine remembering his threat and she looked at her father helplessly. She imagined him lying in a pool of blood and her heart twisted inside her chest. She nodded her head vigorously murmuring something inaudible.

Surprising Sanjay, she hugged him tightly and hid her face inside his chest. Her father circled his hands around her body protectively and softened his eyes.

" What happened to you, sweety? What's bothering you? At least give a hint about your problem," Sanjay asked but Orni just cried like a little kid.

Breaking the hug, she wiped away her tears and looked into his curious questioning eyes. Then, she held his large hands with her tiny hands very gently.

" I am sorry, Papa. I will do better in my next exam. I promise," She promised genuinely and before he could ask anything further she ran away from her house.

Hours passed and Orni was in her school giggling, doing silly things with her friends and concentrating on her teacher's words. After a long time, she was feeling like a free bird. She got back her previous jolly self and her happiness knew no bounds.

Though she was happy, there was a fear inside her too. The fear of getting caged by VR again. Her heart cried whenever she thinks that VR's tortures will be back in her life after three days. Moreover, she was feeling guilty and sad for Rohan. He was suspended from the school and Orni knew who is behind this matter.

It was leisure time when VR called her and her mood was ruined. Clutching the phone tightly she thought to ignore his call but didn't. She knew that he will make a fuss over this simple matter. Taking a deep breath she received his call and his voice boomed through the phone.

" Why did you take so much to receive my call?" He asked angrily.

She answered shuttering," I. ....am....in.....school. I was in the class and that's why........."

" Ok, baby. No problem. Now tell me, Angel, how are you? Are you eating properly and sleeping timely?" He asked sugar coating his voice and Orni rolled her eyes.

She hummed when he said pouring his feelings with each word he took," I am missing you so much, Angel. Living without seeing your innocent face is like torture for me. Whenever I close my eyes I only see you, babe. I am missing your body fragrance, your sweet smile, your luscious lips...everything about you. I can't wait to return, love. I will try to return early."

" No, don't return early," Orni almost shouted and automatically VR's hand clutched the phone tightly.

He asked," Why? Don't you miss me? You want me to stay away from you!!"

He questioned very calmly but Orni can feel the warning and menace behind this tone. Imagining his angry face, she started trembling automatically.

" No....no... I mean to say...come back when you finish your work. There is no hurry. I always miss you," She responded breathing abnormally.

He chuckled hearing her and said," Even your breathing feels like a melody for me. Kiss me, babe."

" I can't. There are people around me," She denied looking around her.

He yelled making her flinch," I ordered kiss me. I don't care about the people."

" Ummmmmah," She kissed the phone screen and he closed his eyes in peace hearing the sound.

After talking for some time VR finally let go of Orni and she sighed in relief. She was getting bored by his talking. Once she used to love hearing him the whole day but now she doesn't even want to hear his voice even for a second.

She walked towards the class when one of her classmates informed," Orni, our dance teacher wants to meet you. "

" Right now?" Orni asked getting surprised and her classmate nodded her head in positive.

Walking towards the teacher's room, she peeped through the door and asked for permission. She was curious why her dance teacher is calling her suddenly. It's been a while since she left dancing.

" Oh, Orni. Come here. I was waiting for you," The teacher permitted her and gestured her to sit on the chair.

Sitting on the chair, Orni asked curiously," Mam, you called me suddenly. Is everything alright?"

" I wanted to talk to you about the dance competition which is the day after tomorrow. I want you to participate in it," The teacher said and a nervous expression appeared on Orni's face.

Recalling VR's reaction regarding her dancing, she refused politely," I am sorry, Mam. I can't participate. It's been a while since I left dancing. As I am not practising anymore, I don't think I will do good."

" I understand, Orni. But, the thing is one of our members of the dance team has sprained her foot so we have to eliminate her. Now, we are badly in need of a dancer who can replace her. Your classmates suggested about you and that's why I called you here. Everybody praised about your dancing skill and I realized you will be the best choice," the teacher explained everything and Orni fell into a dilemma.

The teacher again said," Think about your school's reputation. I know you will do your best if you practice just for one day. You have that potentiality."

A teacher is requesting her and if she denies a teacher then it will show ignorance from her side and the teacher may think of her as an ill-mannered girl.

Thinking about the teacher's request she finally agreed. She has already done a simple calculation in her mind about VR's return. Though she was scared about VR, still she made up her mind to obey her teacher.

" Ok, Mam. I will participate," Orni agreed politely without imagining what kind of storm is waiting for her.
