SILENT CHAOS

John is now in his teenage. Struggling to flow with Eastern society, where everybody does shaming, character assignations, casteism, and racism are someone's casual joke. Where prevalence of whitening fair creams in advertisements further accentuates societal standards that John is struggle to conform to. In the midst of such unfair treatment from those around him, John faces the arduous task of maintaining his identity and self-worth in a society that sometimes seems to prioritize conformity over individuality.

Years back in his childhood he went through so many unpleasant, horrible situations, that sexual harassment made a big impact on his character and his lifestyle. The situation has not changed for his life, he was alone and never had friends or a girlfriend. Most of the time he was mocked for not having a girlfriend. He tried for a

girlfriend, and he approached but he was ignored or not shown interest in him. College life was so boring for him.

At the age of 17, John got a laptop from his mother for his studies. He likes to spend most of his time playing video games and watching movies, one day he finds a web chat room where every teenager boys and girls chats. The chat room was made for discussion on movies, sports and art, but these youngsters were using this medium for flirting. Out of curiosity, he started chatting with other people, they spoke nicely and he was so interested and was spending more time on it. Now he was able to speak with other people. These people are so real to him apart from the people who are outside of his house. This became his life and daily routine. Very soon, he got a girl as his friend 'named Shuba' now they became good friends. John and Shuba use a private chat room for chatting, he is so happy and shares everything with her. One day Shuba introduces a guy named Ronny. She tells john that, ronnys character is similar to john's character so, they could be good friends" Ronny was introduced to john and they both talked in chat room and even exchanged their mobile numbers. As subha said, they both Later became best friends. John , subha and Ronny became so close. After their college they meet-up in the chat room and it becomes their daily routine.

Ronny was a guy who was passionate about becoming a CBI officer and was very interested in crime thrillers and spy movies, he was also a patriotic. They used to discuss

these types of movies and Ronny was so talkative about the subject. John and Ronny used to talk in video calls but Shuba doesn't 't have a web cam so she joins them

through the chat only. John and Ronny met each other in person; they used to spend time with each other. John and Ronny's friendship blossomed beautifully!

Ronny is the only person John truly likes and trusts. He never judges John or makes him feel bad about him. John was ecstatic to finally have someone to confide in and share his thoughts and feelings with. They did video calls and sometimes meet-up in-person They loved to meet under a big old mango tree - it was their peaceful haven where they could chat undisturbed. One day both went to the same place. A quiet peaceful place opposite

to them there was a big river with an old bridge. Both were Sitting under the tree , birds chirping on the branches. they both looked up at the tree, a small feather less bird in a nest, crying for food. John couldn't help but express his feelings to Ronny.

"No one cares about anyone and I don't exist, but you are the only one who makes me real, one day everybody will notice me and talk about me and accept me as I am. Will you? See the birds of the tree, they will sing for me. I will be free"

Ronny puts his hand on his shoulder and says. "John, I know you have gone through a lot but move on. am with you, as your brother, trust me". Leave this all things". Ronny: "Look up there, that bird .can you see?" Pointing his fingers up to the branches.

John looked up curiously: "hmm that blue one"!

Ronny with a smile "That dude is trying to impress that

cute little birdy girl" John and Ronny look and laugh

"So what you think will she say yes to him?" says john

Ronny looks up at the birds "Hmm I don't know. let's

see" John: Oh I forgot to tell you

What? Says Ronny

John: "Subha called me yesterday. I think she has fallen

on you".

With a shy smile Ronny:" Dude I think am in love". John: "Oh god. Really? you are a lucky guy. She is good person. Am so happy for you Ronny.

Ronny: "yah but I haven't seen her yet,"

"Is it necessary ? Says john

Ronny: "yaah it is ,why not ?"

John : " what if she just leaves you "

Ronny:" No she will not ,i have been dating with other girl, they all are the same but shubha is not ,she is different

and she needs me "

John : "hmm i wish you could see her in-person" Ronny hmm!.

John was happy for them and the relationship went well. Now Ronny was so deeply in love with Shuba. He wants to see Subha, He asks Shuba to buy a mobile phone or a

webcam so that they can see each other but she tells him to meet her in person. Two times he plans to meet her but, they can't meet each other, because Shuba's parents are so orthodox and she is restricted from going out. Ronny spends much more time with Shuba than John. John asks Ronny to come visit him but Ronny is not very interested but is more focused on subha.

A day in the common chat room a user name Headshot555 joins. He openly claims he is a hacker#stalker and he stalks on women and girls and he is a fetish too. Every chat member took him as a joke and made fun of him. Later that night Ronny received an

email from headshots555@gmail.com that was the same stalker from the chat room. He knows everything about Ronny and he is spying on him. The stalker writes everything about Ronny's life and his girlfriend. (That information was correct) further, the stalker demands Ronny to send his nude pic to him, otherwise, he will kidnap and rape and kill his girlfriend Shuba. The stalker gruesomely explains how he is going to rape and kill his

girlfriend. He is going to rip every rib on her chest wide open and watch her heart violently beat to silence. Ronny is frightened and he tells Shuba about the stalker but Shuba doesn't 't take it as seriously and asks Ronny to ignore it. Because those kind of fake users jokes around in the chat.

Two days after, Shuba disappeared from the chat room. Ronny was so concerned and wretched. He calls John and tells him the entire story. John tells Ronny not to worry; the stalker might be fake and she might be busy with her family or studies. Three days passed still she did not come back to the chat room, meanwhile a rumor spreads in the common chat roaming that a girl has been kidnapped and raped and everyone doubts the Headshot555 user. And subha is missing from 3days. Ronny went into a depression of guilt and the loss of his girlfriend. For some relief, he now frequently meets John

and they both spend time with each other. John is sad because he knows Ronny is broken and he is dead serious about his relationship. Days passed, and now Ronny rarely logs into the chat room just to see any chat from her. Days and a month passed now Ronny is not meeting John frequently.

A curious and unsuspecting user, logged into a chat room one day and received a private message from a mysterious woman named Rani. Intrigued, he engaged

in conversation with her and soon discovered that she was a wealthy, unmarried real estate agent. As they continued to talk, Rani revealed a shocking secret - she was actually a government spy and had chosen Ronny for a top secret mission. The mission was so important that the government couldn't risk disclosing it to anyone else. Ronny would have to prove his worth by passing a series of mental tests and completing two tasks. If he succeeded, he would be given a unique code that would allow him to access the final mission - one that was so secret and vital that it could change the course of history. As the days went by, Rani grew closer to Ronny and even proposed to him, promising to marry him if he completed the mission. Ronny was both thrilled and skeptical at the same time. On one hand, he felt like it was too good to be true. On the other hand, he was vulnerable and gullible, having recently lost his girlfriend and feeling guilty about it. He also had a deep passion for serving his country and becoming a CIB officer. He couldn't resist the opportunity to do something important and make a difference. 

As Ronny waited for the confidential mail from Agent6654, he couldn't help but wonder what the future held. Would he be able to pass the tests and complete the tasks? Would he be able to access the final mission and save his country? Or was this all just a clever ploy to manipulate him for someone else's gain? Only time will tell. As Rani said, Ronny receives mail from agent "6654". The mail was a confirmation for the task which included

instructions to follow the tasks. If Ronny is ready for the task then he has to reply just 'logged in' then day after tomorrow he will receive another mail with task details, which he has to finish successfully. Meanwhile, he was in touch with Rani, she daily chats with him. They become so close, that Ronny shows himself naked on webcam, and Rani can't show her face because she is a spy agent. But this will change after the mission Karna

and she was waiting for it to happen. He receives the task mail. The Task was simple; he had to give protection to John. Because John is so an important person in the government. A group of spy teams will monitor Ronny 24/7. He confidently takes the first task and meets John and he stays with him for the whole day like a spy agent. He felt like John needed help because day by day he was becoming skinny. He took him to the hospital and spoke with his mother. She listened to him and replied "A grown man doesn't need to be taken care of by his mother, he must find out his way to overcome

bad situations. The world is not a fair place to live. I lived a rough life but I learned how to survive. And I need him to learn survival" Ronny didn't 't know what to say to her. He asked about John's father. With a furrowed forehead and squinting eyes she said "he just left".

He had completed his task successfully and had received an appreciation mail with task number 2. The task was to stay with his friend John for a night and comfort him. Initially, it seemed like an easy task, so he decided to call John and ask if he could stay with him

for the night since his own family had gone to visit their grandfather. John was more than happy to have him over. As he arrived at John's place, he was welcomed by John's grandma who had agreed to cook dinner for them. Ronny had brought a bottle of wine, and John was delighted as he was a wine enthusiast. They both enjoyed dinner and wine while playing video games. Suddenly, John asked Ronny if he missed Subha. Ronny stopped playing the game and turned to John, his face filled with emotion, he replied "There is not a single day that I don't remember her. I'm living in guilt." John shook

his head and replied, "Me too." Later, he told Ronny that his birthday was coming up, and they should go to their favorite place near the bridge under the big mango tree, and with the wine they had, they would have a good time. Ronny agreed, and they both enjoyed the rest of the night together. 

He completes the task, Last and final 'MISSION KARNA'. He has to wait for the mail.....

As usual, the mail arrived he ran his eye on the mail in curiosity. He was excited for the mission. He was shocked and confused nothing making sense. The next task was to kill John, the mail further explains. John's name is not John. His name is 'Williams'. He is so

important for the government because back in 1985 john's father agent005 was a spy agent for the government. He was the head of the spy mission called "Elixir" Our country found a treasure worth trillions of US dollars which was located deep under INDIAN OCEAN within the Java trench. The treasure was secured with a biometric scanner and johns father agent 005 gave john's body as the biometric passcode (john's full body has to be scanned by either his dead body or alive). Five other countries knew it already including Pakistan. This confidential mission was later leaked and john's father was blamed and suspected. Later he was missing, no one know where he went. 

Anyhow john is going to be killed by other terrorist spies. So if he kills him, it will be a mercy kill for John. This was so shocking for Ronny and he was given two days to protect John. The guilt and depression of the death of Shuba still haunt him. He could have done something to save her but now his best friend is to be killed by him. His nights went like hell. He tries to make himself understand, that he is saving his friend John from other evil people and the country needs his sacrifice and John is just a saviour. He spends two days with John protecting him from any other danger and drops him

home.

The final mail instruction for mission Karna. The mail instructed to kill John as painlessly as possible. Choose any place where people are less. Use a big knife and stab twice in the chest but before implementing the mission on the way or in that place; if you see a code 6969 from any medium, then you should aboard the mission. If not! Before stabbing hug John and look into his eye and say ' I LOVE YOU john'. After the mission

take the knife with you and stay away from John for 20 min don't call the ambulance or other help. Police will arrive with one of our spy agent among them (RANI) and she will escape you from the scene. Arjun's body will be taken and secured by the government. After that don't say anything to anyone just speak in code language if you doubt someone they might be a spy agent. After all this, you will be rewarded 50 million us dollars and a special appointment to meet the PM of our country. 

Ronny was in stress. He wants to spend a day with his friend. so he went to John. John tells Ronny that coming Friday is his 18th birthday, and as they planned earlier, they will go to the regular meeting point and have some wine together. Ronny was talking to his mind "John trusts him and likes him so much, how can he do this? without making a sound he was screaming and crying inside. Ronny thought!! If he kills John! Then the reward of 50 million will be given to both john and Shuba's family. That day he went back home and with courage he bought a small knife and started practicing how to

stab without missing the point .that day evening he received an mail that said to change the knife and buy a big one so that the knife could penetrate his heart. And also he has to be cautious not to make any fingerprints on the knife.

That was on Friday John's birthday. He planned the mission for Karna, also he bought a gift for John for his birthday, as decided earlier they met at the place. John was happy and they both enjoyed wine together but Ronny was hiding the knife in his pocket. He grabbed the knife's handle, his heart was pounding and his hands were shaking he couldn't 't do so he left for his home. This time Ronny received a private chat from Agent6654(higher officer)Agent6654 says he will be rejected from the mission if he abort the mission without getting the code '6969'.The last and final day the Sunday.

Ronny planned to meet john again at the same place. This time he is determined to do this for his country and for his best friend John.

The day of mission karna. Ronny walks out of his home with the knife, He realizes how disturbing and uncomfortable to hold a knife and hide it nothing made him this stressed and uncomfortable in his entire life. He longed for the journey not to end, wishing that time could somehow stretch out indefinitely. However, reality was closing in as he approached the designated meeting place. There, he found John, dressed in the same white shirt that Ronny had gifted him on his 18th birthday, a symbol of their enduring friendship.They walked together towards the regular meeting spot under the towering mango tree, its leaves dried and rustling in the breeze like a mournful choir. John, filled with the joy of his special birthday, spoke enthusiastically, sharing stories and memories. Ronny, lost in his own thoughts, struggled to keep up with John's words, responding with absentminded "hmm"s.With each step, it felt as though his feet were sinking into quicksand, his resolve wavering. In a moment of self-doubt, he began to mumble to himself, whispering the words, "I have to do this." The weight of the task ahead was immensive, and he knew he had to push through the overwhelming anxiety to complete his mission. The scene was charged with tension, as if he was walking the fine line between duty and despair, with the world around him mirroring his inner turmoil. 

In the scorching heat of the merciless sun, the air seemed to waver with oppressive intensity, as beads of sweat dripped relentlessly down Ronny's furrowed brow. The world itself felt like it was conspiring against him as he and John trudged on, their footsteps echoing with the weight of a secret that lay heavily on Ronny's conscience. Their journey led them to the shade of a majestic mango tree, a haven from the searing heat. Under its sprawling branches, Ronny's gaze met John's, and the tension between them was palpable. His left hand, which had once been a symbol of friendship, now rested heavily on John's shoulder, a foreboding gesture that hinted at treachery. John, with an unsuspecting smile on his face, anticipated Ronny's words. Little did he know that those words would be the harbinger of a dark fate. Slowly Ronny drew a knife from his pocket, looking to john's eyes ,he says :, "I love you, John," were a chilling prelude to the unforgivable act that followed. John, locked in a trance, was oblivious to the knife's descent. A sharp pain seared through his chest as Ronny's first strike found its mark. Ronny, unable to meet John's gaze, closed his eyes as he withdrew the knife, then plunged it into John's lower abdomen, sealing his friend's destiny with an act of unspeakable brutality. To Ronny's astonishment, instead of anger or fear, he heard the faint whisper of love from John's lips, "I love you, Ronny." Tears welled in John's eyes, and his body began to collapse to the unforgiving ground, clutching the bloodied knife. The scene had transformed into a nightmarish tableau, and Ronny found himself in a state of shock, frozen in time. Panic coursed through him, and he recoiled, stepping backward as if trying to distance himself from the monstrous act he had committed. For what felt like an eternity, he remained immobilized .In the distance, the distant rumble of an approaching truck grew louder, casting ominous shadows on the unfolding drama. Ronny had hoped for Rani and the police to arrive and rescue him from the scene, but fate had other plans. John's life hung in the balance, and Ronny's escape was far from assured. As John's lifeblood flowed onto the ground, the once- merciless sun now bore witness to the consequences of this heinous act. Ronny, struggling to come to terms

with his actions, took off in a frenzied escape, his mind a whirlwind of confusion. He sprinted desperately, putting distance between himself and the scene of the crime. Exhausted and overwhelmed, Ronny finally came to a halt in front of a nearby shop. His emotions, like a turbulent storm, had pushed him to the brink, and he could no longer move. Weak and trembling, he crouched and, in a moment of utter despair, defiled the ground beneath him. The shopkeeper, ran to him, rushed to Ronny's aid. He offered the disoriented youth a glass of water, which Ronny gulped down in silence. His thoughts were a maelstrom, a cacophony of guilt and fear that left him unable to speak. When the shopkeeper pressed him for answers, Ronny heavily breathing he says someone stabbed my friend and ran. The shopkeeper called some of his customer and asked Ronny to stay in the shop. Meanwhile, back at the dried mango tree, a crowd had gathered. The truck drive saw john laying down in pool of blood ,he had called for help, The once-silent scene was now a tableau of horror, with 18-year-old John lying motionless in a pool of his own blood. They came and saw john laying down motionless, he quickly dials to police. 

Beside john, a small featherless bird laying dead ,up on

the tree birds are chirping loudly for both of them
