everyone has a dark side

"I will kill her...I will kill her" 10 years old Dev shouted at his newly wed step mom. "listen my child, don't say like that..she is your mother" Dev's dad tried to convince his son but he was in no mood to hear anything his father say. "this bitch killed my mom and now she took her place. do you want me to forget that?" little dev took a knife in his hands with an intention to kill his mother's murderer. "samath, your son has gone nuts. just consult a doctor" A feared Maanvi requested her husband.

Saloni walked in to Dev's apartment to see her living dead brother. she always hated Dev for stealing her brother from her family. when Manas got paralyzed, she blamed Dev for it unlike her father who trusts in his son, Dev. For the past two years, she was desperately searching for a clue to prove that he was responsible for her brother's condition before her father who blindly trust him even after Dev's murder attempt.

"hi saloni Raichand" Dev greeted his little step sister witha fake smile. "you know very well how much I hate you and how much I love my brother. one day I will prove to dad that you are responsible for my brother's condition" he started at him "best of luck in that" he whispered in her ears and walked away.

"so this is your apartment?" I asked her such a stupid question. "haha..no it is above the sky" she laughed at me. even her laugh had a taste of innocence in it. "Dev ahm, you seem tired, I guess you need rest" she completely shocked me. "what?" "yeah, you heard me right," she dragged me out of my bike with some supernatural force or maybe I don't want to resist. "Anu, listen you are my best friend's girlfriend and it would be highly inappropriate of me if I spend a night in your apartment and I hope you understand that" I tried to explain her. "you are such a dumbass, just boring like your job. firstly Manas is my boyfriend not yours so I very well know how he thinks and secondly I am not interested to see you at your funeral after few hours" "huh?" funeral, I was damn confused "yeah funeral, just look at yourself, fully drowned in sleep. I don't want you die today so no more arguments, just come with me for the sake of your friend".

her apartment was well organized like some mini palace, she showed her bedroom. my legs just automatically went the room and I fell in the bed with my weak legs like a little boy.

"hey crackhead, your stupid phone is ringing" sonali waked Dev much to disinterest. dev got up from his afternoon nap and saw the 8 missed calls and 15 messages from a name "A". he got shocked and tried to call that number back but in vain. he opened his text box and saw the messages. "we got him" "come fast" "someone's coming" and some 12 messages were unsend. he grabbed his jacket and cars and ran to the parking after staring at saloni for some seconds.

Its been 30 minutes from Dev exited the house, she went to kitchen and made a mango juice for her brother. she poured the juice in glass and went to Manas's room to feed him. she pulled a chair next to her brother and sat on it with juice in her hands. she took out some liquid from her hand bag and dropped few teaspoons into the freshly prepared mango juice and mixed it. she made her paralyzed brother drink the fully.

"sorry brother, everyone has a dark side" she smiled cruelly.
