LADY SATANS

part 31

And then she came in his life. The girl named Layla.

The young boy named taehyung was walking on the footpath of the bridge. His eyes looking at the stars. He looked at the most bright star in the sky. The face of his little angel flashed in front of his eyes. He stood at the corner of the bridge ridge. His eyes looking at his little angel. That star reminded him of his little angel so now that star  was his little angel. While looking at his little angel ,his whole world stopped. For a moment he couldn't hear the cars beeping and the sound of the waves smashing with each other. He should jump !! The idea hit his mind. There was nothing left anyways. He should just end his life and go meet his little angel. He was going to climb the ridge and jump when he heard a girl trying to get his attention.

" Heyyy ! Stop ! You fool stop !"

He stopped at her voice and slowly turned his face to see a beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. She was running towards him trying to reach him as soon as possible. Reaching him ,she held his hand as if holding him by his wrist would stop him from jumping. Taehyung was way too strong than her and could easily jump but he stopped to hear her out. She was indeed beautiful. Looking at her with questioning eyes ,he said.

" Who are you ??"

" Well it doesn't matter mister !! Were you going to jump ? Are you an idiot. ?"

Taehyung looked at her with annoyed eyes.

" It's none of your concern girl!! Whether I am an idiot or not. Whether I jump or not !"

" No I mean it would be a total loss for the world if you jump. I mean no one would be happy over a handsome boy jumping. "

Taehyung gave her the look. She cleared her throat and hid her smile. It wasn't right to flirt with someone who was going to commit suicide.

" I am Layla. And what could possibly go wrong. Like I know this life has a lot of difficulties but it doesn't mean that we end our life. Look mister ! I'll hear all your problems and you can cry all you want on my shoulder "

Now the scenes had changed. They were sitting in a restaurant with ramen in front of them. Layla was bawling her eyes out.While taehyung was looking at her in surprise. She was supposed to comfort him and here he was trying to make her stop crying.

Layla :" I can't believe that your whole family died. Your little sister too. Taehyung this is too much ,I am sorry for not understanding that it could be such a serious problem. "

Taehyung looked at her with sad eyes. He knew it was too much.

Layla:" I am alone in this world too. I was the only child but my parents abandoned me when I was 5 years old because they ......well they got divorced. And both married according to their needs. I have step siblings too. But I was neglected in all this ,spent my childhood in an orphanage and then i started working at a local grocery store. I earn just enough to make my both ends meet. "

Taehyung was now feeling bad for too. It wasn't that what he was feeling, was unique. Everyone had their own problems in this world. He had a good time there,not good just better. At the end Layla and he exchanged  numbers and promised to call each other.

He entered his home. His long lost home. He would now rather call it house because his home was destroyed. He laid down on his bed , trying to get some sleep. He felt someone's prescence and opened his eyes only to see his little angel standing close to him. Looking at him with her angelic eyes.

" Oppa !! I miss you. Don't cry !"

She was there.  She kept coming there. He wasn't sure if she was his imagination or maybe her ghost. Next day ,he woke up and was trying to make breakfast when his bell rang. Who could it be ? Ah he gave his home address to Layla. He opened the door with blank expressions and Layla was standing there with a packet of god knows what with a welcoming smile on her face.

" Mind if I come in "

She chirped. And taehyung offered her to come in. She brought breakfast and both had a good time. Time passed by and their friendship grew stronger and deeper. They would spend a lot of time together. She helped him forget just a little bit. And the time ,he spent with her made him distracted for a while. They would go on movies ,on beach and cook together. Then one day Layla asked him to be his boyfriend. He looked at her eyes. She was beautiful and she made him comfortable. And he needed someone in his life. He immediately accepted and they became a couple.

Then their realtionship got stronger. They would laugh together and play together. Work together.

8 months later......

Taehyung while laughing.

" Come here Layla ! You might get hit by a car while doing that. You silly girl !"

Layla came towards him and hugged him. He felt the warmth of her body ,a smile coming in his face. She then stepped back and gave him a peck. Then they held hands and starting walking by the road. Wearing same brown long coats and hand knitted caps.

It just took a moment. A white van approached them. Within seconds ,two men came out of the van and dragged Layla with them. Taehyung tried to hold her hand but the men were too strong and he was just a teen boy. He never even went to gym. And in front of his eyes , he saw Layla screaming his name ,calling him for help and he was trying to help her. When a man pushed him and he fell on the ground. The girl that was helping him recover from the trauma ,his girlfriend was dragged right in front of his eyes and he couldn't do anything. He was laying on the floor with his eyes witnessing his girlfriend,Layla screaming and trying to reach for his hand while tears falling from her beautiful blue eyes.

The van left leaving him there on the ground. He kept sitting there for a while without blinking his eyes. It was a deja Vu. As if he travelled back to where he started. His recovery had just started and here he was again ,in even bad situation. He stood up and started walking  slowly with shaking legs. His eyes fixed on the ground.

His thoughts were like this
" Maybe I don't deserve to be loved. Or maybe I am cursed. Whoever comes near me dies. !!"

With all the negative thought ruining his mind ,he reached his house. Once again empty and barren. He slowly sat in the sofa ,his mind still filled with Layla's scream. How helpless was he !!  He couldn't sleep for next two days. He was 19 but still he drank a lot. He had never tasted alcohol and here he was drinking 10 bottles. And smoked a lot.......so he was never meant to be loves. All he could now see was the shadows of Layla and his little angel Emma ........

Present......

And here he was with Melissa in his hand. Her eyes falling shut with tears running down her cheeks and he felt the same again. He saw his little angel again ,the same scene in different timelines. He barely handled his little angel slipping from his hands and this time he won't be able to withstand this loss ......he won't be .......
