Manik's pov
It was a sunny morning, and I was sleeping when my alarm rang at 10:00 am. After freshening up, I grabbed my guitar and began playing, as it was my daily routine before heading to college. Just then, my phone rang-it was my friend Cabir. He asked how long it would take me to get to college, expressing how much he missed me. I assured him I'd be there in 10 minutes. Cabir was more like a brother to me, a very close friend whom I considered family.Cabir considers me his only family. His parents had placed him in an orphanage, but one day my parents found him there and brought him home. Since then, we have been best friends. At the age of 5, I lost my parents, my brother, everyone in a car accident. Now, Cabir is my only family. We both love each other very much and would give our lives for each other.Lost in thought, I was reminded by a beep from my phone that I needed to leave for college. Gathering my guitar, bag, cigarette, and watch, I headed out.After reaching college, I witnessed Cabir colliding with another student. The college student scolded Cabir, saying, 'Hey, can't you see where you're going?' Cabir retorted, 'I could say the same to you; you were too busy staring at your phone to notice me.' The college student demanded Cabir apologize immediately. Disregarding the confrontation, I intervened and forcefully escorted the student to my secret room in the college where I punish all my targets. Cabir followed me. Once inside the room, I restrained the student to a chair, and with a knife in hand, I slowly slowly dragged the knife from his face to his kneck.I began torturing him,scared for his life, the student apologized to Cabir and promised not to repeat his behavior. I untied him but held him from his collar and said'Not so soon','Do you think I will let you go that easily?'Messing with us is your life's biggest mistake and you will have to pay for it Mr?ummm ,What's your name ?'I asked him while bringing the knife to his neck Frightened ,he told that his name is 'Lakshay' in a stuttering voice .I kept the knife aside and told him to stand on the chair and dance if he wants to be freed.I also told him that the dance should be amazing and I should be impressed.He started dancing,I kept a vase on his head and told him to continue dancing.Cabir,as usual was doing his duty which is to record the boy's dancing video.The boy stopped dancing,I became furious and told him to not stop till I tell him to.The boy was dancing continuously despite getting weak.Finally,I told him to stop dancing and told him to sit on the chair and asked him to have water.He refused to take the water bottle,I told him it's just water.As he moved forward to take it ,I threw it in the dustbin.I said'Oops...sorry','U want water,right?Go and take it,come on get up'.The boy stood up,scared and frightened,went to take out the bottle from the dustbin.He took out the bottle and gave it to me.I smirked and exchanged looks with Cabir.He understood what he has to do.He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and put some chloroform on it and gave me a thumbs up.I told the boy that his punishment is over and that he can go.He went to open the door,but it was jammed.I told him to come and sit on the chair,while I will look into the matter.I said in a really sarcastic way'Oh God,it is jammed ,it's not opening,what could be done now?'You sit for a while please,I promise I won't do anything '.The boy sits on the chair.Within a second,I tied him with ropes and cabir made him smell the handkerchief.The boy feels dizzy and faints there.I gave Cabir a clap and we both lauged.We both went out of the room , locking it,and leaving him alone.This is me, Manik Malhotra, and this is what will happen to anyone who messes with me and my brother. The college was over, and everyone was leaving, but I went to my secret room, unlocked it, and untied the boy. He was still lying unconscious. I sat near the window, lost in deep thought. A tear escaped my eye as I pondered something. My phone rang, it was Cabir, asking about my whereabouts. I told him to wait, assuring him I would be there soon. Wiping my tears, I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, smoked a cigarette, and left the room immediately.I reached home, went to my room, and settled comfortably on my bed with the AC on. Despite having everything-my brother and a good house to live in-I still feel alone. My parents died in an accident, leaving me without the love and care of a mother or father. I long for someone who cares for me, who loves me. There's always a reason for everything, just like the circumstances that have shaped me today. As I pondered all this, a tear fell from my eye. Slowly, while reflecting on my thoughts, I drifted into sleep.
~This is me,
Being the bad boy,
Soft from the inside,
Rough on the outside,
Knowing how to control feelings!~u
