Chapter 26: Endling
Duke was at the graveyard waiting inside his car. He saw people exiting from the graveyard so he jumped out of his car and walked inside the graveyard.
..........
Graveyard... Graveyard is like a mirrror.... A bitter truth....A truth from which mankind runs away as far as possible and doesnot want to accept at any cost.
Graveyard is an auction of great legendary people resting in peace, tired of their jobs in this world spending their remaining time at peace CARELESS FROM THE WORLD AND THEIR BELOVED ONES.
We are so lost in the hurries of this cruel world disguised in a garden of happiness when suddenly in a flash of light everything ends, Leaving everthing. Nothing is eternal except LOVE!!!!
..........
He saw a graveyard with rose petals over it and a lady crying over it. He approached her slowly. He realized that she was Ryan's mother. He packed up his courage as he couldn't face her.He approached her and put his hand on her shoulder as she was dying for her son.
"You know he killed himself to save you!!!" She answered cracking leant over his grave.
He kept quite as he couldn't answer her.
"I was at the door when he shot himself. He was dying inside, I could only hear his voices pleading!!he was helpless but I couldn't do anything!!"
"I know...." Duke answered her emotionally.
"He didn't deserved that death.." she stood up facing him. Her facial skin was wet with tears.
"You should be the one dead..... He never killed her...You know that"
"I always seek only one answer, WHY RYAN,WHYY! WHY ONLY YOU?"
"HOW CAN HE BE SO CARELESS. DOES THIS THOUGHT IRRITATED HIM THAT HOW WILL I LIVE WITHOUT HIM"
He started biting his lips grunting. His guilt was rising and he was preventing eye contact with her.
"Doesn't it lit the fire inside you.... he called you his brother... you grew up together" she answered him angrily.
"These fucking people.. They just appeared at his funeral fulfilling their duty. I know how does it feels to loose a son!!" She was soo lost delivering those words when suddenly her mind sequeled that memory.
"He was alone when he died.... How hard it must be for him baring that pain... My boy was innocent... he was kind hearted, Whyy!! DUKE WHYYY.Why did he choose that path?" she delivered those words sniveling for him.
Duke remembered his words he delivered to Ryan showing his hatred at his decision of confessing to jury.
He placed his palm over her head while tears pouring from his eyes.
"I swear to God!!! Eye for an eye!!! I won't kill him, I will make him beg me for his death" he answered in a breaking voice.
"He is my brother... I will avenge him" Duke satisfied her.
"Oh God!! My boy..... My boyyyyy" she cried in pain while her head covered with her hands.
...............
Farhan was alone in the house. He was drawing completely dissolved without caring about the surrounding. He was drinking wine with a cigarette between his lips.
He was shirtless wearing only jacket. His wound looked good and his hairs criss crossed.
Jessica entered. He didn't noticed her. She approached her from behind.
Her hair were held tight with the pink pony highlighting her wide forehead. She looked at the drawing as it was almost complete.
It was a sunny day. He was drawing her hairs. He was sketching Kristin.
"You are very good at drawing?" Jessica told him as she sat next to him on the chair giving him a hopeful smile.
He was drawing like a professional. He made her sketch pretty good.He inhaled the smoke of the cigarette and held it between his fingers and took a potation of wine.
He giggled at her while exhaling the smoke.
"Who is she?" She asked him desperately.
She saw a deep smile on his face as he was smiling to himself.
"Kristin!!" He answered her.
"Are you in love with her eyes!!"
He looked at her astonishingly as she understood him perfectly.
"She has Hazel eyes as deep as an ocean!! I drowned in her eyes"
"But how do you know??"
"Because.... I mean you have highlighted her eyes in her whole face with much details... She is must bevery beautifull?" she answered him as she took a deep breath.
"Yes, she is..Indeed in the whole world. Even the Angels from heaven will shy at her beauty." he answered her softly as he finished his sketching.
"Are you in love with her?? She asked him curiously as she was trying to know a life of a Mafia man.
He looked at her in an instant as he never expected that question.
"I loved her and she cared for me!!" He answered her proudly as he stood up and placed the sketch on the table.
"And Did you care for her?" She asked him as she held the sketch and started observing it carefully.
"I was in love with her with such extent that I didn't even realized that I was destroying her and when i realized i was drowned so deep in her Hazel eyes that it was impossible to return to the surface" he confessed in front of her as he puffed the cigarette and held the glass. He approached the window staring outside.
"Why did you choose this life?"
"I wasn't born a criminal Jessica!!! The world moulded me into a stone hearted Beast!" He answered her sadly without looking at her.
"You are not heartless!!" She confessed innocently.
"You know nothing!!!" He giggled at her.
"I have killed so many people, I can not even count. Most of them were whom I never knew" he answered her emotionally while puffing the cigarette.
She approached him from behind trying to sooth him.
"They haunt me in my dreams!!! I can't sleep" he told her in a guilty voice and was weeping in regrets.
"You can leave this now!!!" She adviced him kindly.
"There is no turning back now!!! This world had made me a killer!!!" He was hiding his tears from her.
"Look at me!!" She turned him around. He faced her while his head down.
"It's not the world!!! It was never this world!! It's you reacting that way. Don't run away from your problems. Try to live with what is left.."
He shook his head weeping wiping his tears as she hugged him.
"Can I ever be a good man once again.?" He asked her innocently.
"Yes you are.....But it is blazing deep down inside you.. Try to rise it up again. Try to live for what is left to you!" she pointed at his heart.
He was listening to her like a child completely lost trying to understand the reason of his life.
"Your life must be like a flowing water. It must flow at any cost because if it stops will be dead before your death!!" She was trying to advice a child lost on road of his journey.
..............
"I have sent a petition to the court for your adoption" Simon acknowledged Noman as his intentions were to adopt and groom him.
He was in Noman's room. They were sitting on the bed. Noman just shook his head.
"Where is my brother? I want to see him" he asked innocently.
Simon took a long breath as he was always scared this question.
"If he is dead, please tell me. At least I should know"
"He is not dead!!" Simon answered him softly.
"Then where is he? Why is he not with us" he asked him curiously.
"He is...." Simon tried to deliver his words.
Noman cross talked.
" Has something happened to him. Why is he so mean? He didn't even come once to visit me"
"He is losttt, Completly!!My boy.. He will never comeback"
"What did you mean by that" he asked him desperately.
"Let's have breakfast, you haven't eaten anything. We will talk later on this" Simon tried to distract his question.
"Why won't you tell me.. He is my brother, For God sake" he cried.
Simon hugged him and rubbed his back to sooth him.
...........
Suddenly they heard someone knocking at their door real hard. They climbed downstairs and saw Duke at the breakfast table with Simon's wife. She was shaking in fear.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" Simon yelled at him.
He pulled his pistol gently from his belt and placed it on the table putting back his hand under the table.
"Don't dare talk to me like this again, You scumbag. Sit Down or i will blow her fucking head" he warned Simon softly.
Simon kept silent as he was worried for his wife.
"Alright!!! Alright!! Just don't hurt her" Duke felt fear in his voice.
"Just relax!! I will do what ever you want" he slowly walked toward him and sit next to him on breakfast table along with Noman.
"I am fucking hungryyy!!! Serve us breakfast" he addressed his wife.
She looked at Simon shaking.
"What do you want?" Simon asked him worriedly.
"Let's eat first!!! Why in so hurry. I am your guest. Where are your fucking manners!!"
"Is that the way you treat a guest!!! Too bad. I am disappointed"
She couldn't stand up due to fear. They were staring at him.
"Don't test my patience. Haven't you heard, hungry lion more dangerous!!! Tell that old brath to bring something to eat!!" He yelled at him.
Simon shook his head at his wife. She stood up crying and her limps were quiver in fear. She struggled to the kitchen while crying.
He lit a cigarette and waited patiently until she served them breakfast.
He glanced at the tea.
"Ahhhh!! Tea is for intellectual people. Thanks for considering me intellectual!!" He stood up and bowed in honor and started his breakfast while they started at him worriedly trying to figure out his intentions.
"Ohh!! I almost forgot you. Pardon me!!! How are you Noman"
"What the fuck do you want?" Noman asked him angrily.
"Okayy!! Since you are very polite to me!! I will get straight to then point!!" He answered them calmly.
"Where the fuck is your brother?" He asked him as they could see fire of revenge in his eyes.
"I don't know!! And even if I did I wouldn't have told you"
"That's bad!!! You are not considering me serious!" He took a deep breath Duke answered taking a deep breath grinding his teeths.
She was standing staring at Duke.
He grabbed his pistol and shot her in her leg.
She screamed in pain and fell on the ground.
"Oh God, No!!" Simon yelled and stood up.
He tried to approached her as she was wriggled in pain
But he pointed his pistol at Simon.
"Stay where you are!! You asshole, Motherfucker"
"We don't know. Just leave us! I beg you!! Trust me we don't know" Simon pleaded while gasping.
"Dial him. I want to talk to him. NOWWW" He yelled in anger.
He passed his phone to Noman. Noman dialed his number while his hands stumbling.
"Honey it's all right!!! Nothing will happen to you!!!!" He told his wife as she was rolling on the floor stained in blood grunting in pain.
Farhan answered his call.
"Farhan!!! It's me Noman" he acknowledge him in an instant.
"What.... are you okay!!!" He answered him worriedly.
"Give me the fucking phone!!" Duke yelled at him as Noman passed him the phone. He stood up while pointing his pistol at them.
They were helpless. Simon was dying to aid his wife as his love was grunting in pain and dying in front of his eyes.
"Duke!!! You have nothing to do with them!!! Just don't hurt them" he answered him worriedly. He was sitting in front of the house with Jessica in dappled sunlight. He stood up worriedly.
"I feel so relaxed to see them screaming and begging for their lives" Duke answered him calmly.
"He has nothing to do with you!! I will do whatever you want..Just.... Just don't hurt them" he begged him.
"Ryan is dead because of you!!!! I want you to feel how it is like to loose someone you care about the most!!!"
"Kill me, But please.. I beg you Don't hurt them!!"
"I promised her, i will make you beg for your death!!" He yelled at him.
"Justttt...." Farhan cried.
"Where are you?" Duke asked him.
He hesitated at bit.
"Where the FUCKKKKK ARE YOU?? YOU RAT??? HIDING LIKE A COWARD. MY BORTHER SHOT HIMSELF BECAUSE OF YOU. YOU MOTHERFUCKERRR" he screamed as loud as he could.
Noman realized that he was completly dissolved in that phone call. He was just pointing his pistol at them without looking at them.
He jumped at Duke and tried to grab him pistol. Duke reflexed and pushed him aside. He was thrown to the ground. He threw his phone and shot blindly at Noman lying on the floor before Simon couldn't react.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!!! MOTHERFUCKERRR.. WANNA BE A HEROO, HAHHH!!!" He shot blindly at him hitting him everywhere in his body.
"THAT WHAT YOU DESERVE!!" He kept firing until his Mag emptied. Blood was leaking from Noman body. He turned back and left quickly as blood poured out from Noman mouth and he was dead.
"No, No!! Oh God" Farhan cried as he struggled outside to the road. Jessica grabbed him from his arm.
"No!! Pleaseee.. Just let me go!! Let me go!!"
She grabbed him firmly as he was weak.
"You will die!! You can't you will die" she was gasping.
Jimmy rushed outside and forced him inside the house. Blood was leaking from his abdomen staining his pant and boots.
"No!!! He is dead!! He killed them!! It's because of me. Let me go. I want to see my brother, He is dying" he continued crying. Jessica hugged him as jimmy closed the door.
She was also crying to see his condition until he fell on the ground due to loss of too much blood. Soon he was unconcious!!
...........
"Do you know where he can be?" Officer jeff asked Kathy.
He was in Kathy's room. She was depressed and strained by his questions. She was sitting on her bed while her head down.
Officer Jeff was standing over her wearing his black shades. He was very calm.
"Honey, Don't you think we should help them?" Her father asked her soothingly.
"I think your father has a point Kathy. You hung out oftenly in college and he even spend a night in your room also"
"What??" She asked him awkwardly.
"Officer it was not what you are thinking!! I know my daughter she confessed" her father cleared his point.
"He is a cold blooded killer and you sided him. Don't you think he should be punished" Officer jeff asked her.
She got emotional as he was piercing her with his questions. He was trying to black mail her emotionally.
She started wiping her tears.
"Look I will not take you to Police station as you are like my own child but you have to tell me" he tried to gain her trust.
"I don't know? I helped him that night because he was hurt and nothing happened what you are thinking. We were just friends!!" She answered crying.
"I know, but do you have any idea where he can be?" He asked her politely.
"Honey, atleast give them something!!" Her father wanted to help Officer Jeff.
"He is dangerous!! Everyone lives are at risk as long as he is not in jail, you should understand it"
She stood up wiping her tears.
"I think I know where he can be but I am not sure!!"
.............
It was a cold night. Wind was blowing very fast. Villa was extremly quite. Edgar was spending most of his time with his father as he was not well.
He was very concerned about his father's health. He had already lost his mother. He would aid his father and tried to help him. He was involving in the villa 's matters as he knew that it would relief his father a bit especially in Farhan's absence.
Kristin was alone in her room. She was wearing peignoir with blue hearts designed on it.
She was thinking about Farhan. She grabbed her phone and walked to the terrace. She hesitated a bit to dial his number as she was nothing to him now.
She packed up her courage and dialed his number.
"Hiiii!!!!" She hesitated.
"Yes who is it?" She heard a girl voice on the other side.
She was shocked as she never expected that. She looked at her phone to verify his number.
"Who are you?? Where is Farhan" Kristin asked her.
"You must be Kristin." Jessica answered politely.
"How do you know?" Kristin asked her annoyingly.
Jessica stood up. She was sitting next to Farhan as he was lying on his bed unconcious sleeping like a baby.
"Actaully he was sketching earlier this morning and has only saved your contact with a photo" she answered her.
"Whatt, give him the phone" Kristin ordered her weirdly.
"Sorry I can't" Jessica hesitated.
"Whyy... is he alright. What happened to him" Kristin asked her inquistively.
"He is alright.. don't you know!!" Jessica asked.
"Whattt"
"Ohh!! So you don't know"
"Don't play games with me whoever you are. Just give him the phone, I want to talk to him"
"Actaully he is wounded!!" She acknowledged her hesitatingly.
"What how"
"I don't know. He was shot but don't worry he is fine now. He is sleeping. We are taking care of him, Don't worry" she satisfied her.
"Where is he now?" Kristin asked her desperatly.
"Sorry!! I can't tell you that for his own sake!!" Jessica answered him.
"Oh God!! Farhan what are you up to!! Why you!!" Kristin mummered to herself worriedly.
"He was right. You cares for him"
"Has he told you about us" Kristin asked her tensely.
"You must be beautiful. I wish I could meet you!!" Jessica diverted the conversation.
"Just stay away from him.. He is not your type" Kristin was very possessive and protective for him.
"You don't know me. How can you say that?" Jessica answered angrily.
"I don't want to. Just stay away from him!!"
"Do you care for him by the way he told me you do but I don't think so??" Jessica asked her curiously.
"Why the fuck will you say that?" Kristin got angrier.
"Because instead of me you must be with him. He needs you the most but sadly you are not with him"
Kristin started grinding her teeths in regrets as she rolled her fingers around her soft palm.
"Don't worry for him, I am taking good care of him." Jessica told her and ended the call.
Kristin rushed back inside and walked into the bathroom. She opened the tap. She was crying in vein. She splashed water on her face while Jessica returned back to him and started staring at him as he was sleeping carefree.
..............
Officer Jeff along with his team reached Jimmy house and surrounded it. Their vehicles siren were off so they couldn't get aware and run away.
Their pistols were out of their holsters pointing at the house from every direction.
Officer Jeff along with some men approached the door. He opened the door stealthily. It was dark as the lights were turned off. He was holding his pistol prepared for any situation until he heard someone climbing up the stairs.
He waited silently until Jimmy opened the basement door. Officer Jeff aimed at him and placed his finger on his lips to order him to keep quite.
He slowly climbed down the stairs while his men held Jimmy upstairs.
He entered the basement and turn on the lights. He saw nothing but useless junk in his basement. He observed it for a moment and returned upstairs.
He started to walk away to his door.
"Officer what was that?" Jimmy asked him.
"Nothing just checking for a criminal" Officer acknowledged him softly as he continued to his car.
"Why my house?"
"We are checking every house. He is dangerous. Is there any problem?" Officer Jeff questioned him.
"No officer!!! He must be dangerous if you are saying!!"
"Take care boy!!" He jumped in his vehicles and left.
Jimmy stood there staring at them until they disappeared. He took out his phone and dialed Jessica.
He took a long breath.
"Everthing is under control. Don't worry!!" He confirmed them and rushed back inside.
...........
Eric and Fostor were in Lucas hideout. It was an anonymous place underground. It was a kind of tunnel with small bulbs hanging like a coal mine.
Eric and Fostor had brought him supplies for the attack. They brought a truck in the night darkness along with them. The men were hurrying unloading the truck. It was overflowing with weapons.
Soon The place was fully armed and weapons like SMGs,RIFLES and even RPGs were lying there. Lucas looked very happy as his men were checking the weapons.
THEY WERE PREPARING FOR AN ATTACK AT THE VILLA at WIPEOUT DI VINCI AND END HIS REIGN.
"Nice hideout!!" Fostor passed compliment at Lucas.
Lucas smirked at him.
"You don't know, what is it like to have this life"
Fostor looked very serious.
"What about the boy?" Eric asked them.
"Don't worry he is hiding like a rat. He won't interfere" Lucas assured them.
"How do you know? We have smoked a lot of money Lucas!! You better succeed this time" he alarmed him.
Eric lit his cigar and started to puff it.
"Don't worry!!"
Eric took a long breath.
"This is your last chance. Blow the fucking place I don't care but I need him dead at any cost!!" Eric told him worriedly.
Lucas walked towards one of the crate. He grabbed at rifle. It was an automatic tactical weapon. He started observing it.
"Don't worry!! Money is power and power is everything!!" He aimed at Eric slowly.
"I am waiting to aim at his head. It his time to payback for what he did to me. I want that fear in his eyes!!" He mummered slowly.
"It's up to you now. Everything is on the edge of knife" Eric delivered his final words and walked out of his hideout along with Fostor.
Soon lucas was once again busy planning the attack.
