9. Starboy

" This year over 10 thousand people died in car accident. "

Khalid was not in his home. In safehouse. There is a table in front of him. A globe standing on the bundle of papers.

Khalid was reading a paper from IAD agency. This newspaper is illegal to read for normal civilians.

Which contains hidden information about politics, genocide, crimes and more. Also contains information about big events that happens in dark web.

Khalid kept reading the newspaper.

" Ah..... The headline says..... A son killed his mother because his mother killed the dog instead of father. Interesting... "

Khalid starts reading and then kept silence for 2 minutes.

" Children these days wants treasure too early. We just take care of our beloved people just to see ourselves shattered from inside. "

Khalid took the water bottle.

Drinks water and combs hair. He was bored.

Decided to go out.

.....

Banu, Jisan were coming from the club. Taijul was with them too.

Banu is a active and cheerful person. Likes to learn new things.

Jisan wanted to become a big businessman but poverty didn't let him. His aunt adopted him not because she loves him, just to show some false love to her dead sister.

Among them Taijul was the calmest guy.

Taijul was in his cricket dress, blue uniform. Banu and Jisan had white rash guard on them.

" What did you learn today? " Taijul asked them.

" Today just beat two our seniors. Hurray! "

Banu was feeling great.

All on a sudden she jumped in shock.

" Isn't that Khalid? "

Three looked at Khalid who was on the otherside of the street.

Khalid thought someone calling him. Khalid saw three people coming to him.

Three said " hello " to Khalid.

" Hello, but who are you? I can't give any help. " Khalid replied as always he does.

Banu asked, " You don't have friends? "

" Why needed? Just to see myself cry like a baby ? "

Jisan was trying to say something but hesitating at the same.

Looking at Jisan, Taijul said, " Will you be our friend? "

Khalid just silently nodded head. It's a no.

Banu asks, " What food or sports do you like. " She was excited to know.

" Rice with lentils and omelette is the best food I've ever had. I ate it literally a decade ago from my mom's hand. "

Jisan invites Khalid in his club.

" I don't need. I am okay. I am good getting beaten. That's in my fate. "

Jisan again said, " You are annoyed. Ain't you? "

" Yeah. I have other works to do than just sitting somewhere and gossip with friends. "

Taijul said, " Okay. You can go. "

Banu loudly said, " We will meet again! "

Khalid left the place swiftly.

.....

The HQ of IAD is currently in Bangladesh. HQ changes according to Chairman's nationality.

The HQ was in a mysterious place which is abandoned for many years.

There is a meeting between all captains of Gatherings and Chairman.

In a big dark dinning room a old man was present. Monitoring the whole nine floor building by caging the building by his aura.

He had beard in stylish tone. Didn't had moustache. Not a victim of hair fall.

He was sitting on a plastic chair. Wearing lungi and a football club jersey in green.

There is a big dining table. Just some candles fighting to enlighten the room.

He was in front of the table. On the left side of the table there was four chairs. Two chair was already filled. In the left side there was three chairs. All are filled up. Those chair were made by wood.

Behind the plastic chair there was name plate " Kashim ". The 16th Chairman of IAD.

Kashim's face was darkened in the low light. Looking scary. He was just looking at the candles.

All on a sudden two people came in the room rushing.

Kashim was still looking at the candles.

" Come in and sit. My beloved twos. Tell why were you 69 seconds late. "

Two at on their wooden chair. The name plate was " Ozair " who was wearing a black sweater and trousers.

Other was " Ali " who was at the same age as Kashim but handsome. Shaved face and with white hair extension.

There was five other captains present too.

Ehan with a feathery jacket. Zuha, having a cool golden shirt. Kyogris with a light blue jacket. Wearing a cap too. Quilt, with a red quilt on his body. Sneezing. Musa, having a cone hat and black T - shirt.

Ozair stood up to answer Kashim's question.

" My lord, this old sheep was busy in road to rizz girls. That isn't my fault at all. "

With a scary glaze Kashim looked at Ali.

Everyone there except Ali was terrified by his aura.

Ali sighs and said, " Alright. Can we start discussing? Candles are at their edge. "

Zuha said, " No worry. We have pulp. "

Kyogris eats air. Rats were running in his stomach.

Quilt keep sneezing. Musa snapping his finger.

Kashim starts the discussion.

.....

Khalid was walking in the noon. He have to go in market to work.

Khalid saw a poor boy licking his dirty hand.

Khalid asked him, " Where is your parents?"

The boy said, " What is Parents? Is it a thing to eat? I am hungry. "

Khalid was stunned for second.

" You don't know what is parents? I mean dad or mom? "

The boy said, " What is dad or mom now?"

Khalid just tried to ignore him.

The boy asks for some food if he has.

Khalid thought he may at least know his name but he said,

" Name? I know it! It is a word that is used to call eachother. I have some like Bastard, Moron, Dog and more. "

Hearing this Khalid didn't laugh but smiled.

Khalid predicted where this boy came from. A huge trash field.

The boy ate dirt and lived in pain. Even though he had any illness, none was there to nurse him.

He might be a infant who was thrown in garbage after he was born.

Khalid took his hand and adored him.

" Wanna go to my home? I have some food."

" What is Home now? "

Khalid laughed this time but not in noise.
