Ishani's POV

2 days before Haldi

Emotions are humans' biggest weakness. Fools are the people who believe that emotions can get you anywhere. The idea that emotions, feelings help you achieve anything in life is for the weak. The cowards. Emotions are God's way of tying us down to this material world. It's His way of ensuring that humans don't explore the divinity within them.

But little did he know, that with the ability to project emotions, He gave humans the ability to turn them off too. He thought that humans will get so entangled in their feelings and form such a strong attachment with them that it will cause them immense pain to be without them. But again, this rule applies to humans. Living beings. Whole individuals.

But not me

I have been dead for a long time. Whatever flicker of life that God so kindly 'bestowed' on me is gone. Now I am utterly numb.

Dead

Broken

So broken that I wonder whether God will accept me in heaven after my death. But if he won't, the devil will. The devil will welcome me in hell. Gladly so. Because it is him whom I now follow. Him whom maybe I have followed all my life.

The darker side has always been my calling. But just the idea of being something close to the monster that my father is repulsed me so much that I repressed my beast.

Not anymore

Now I will let it run free. Let her kill and maim whoever she wishes. And I will let her take over completely, because I have realised that 'human' is just the body. Deep within, my soul is evil.

"Oh my god, it's so beautiful" Shreya's voice breaks my stream of thoughts as we look out of the car window. The paths of the moon palace are lined with workers that stand in a line with their heads bowed. I scoff at the fake show of respect. Respect is the last thing they are feeling. Fear? Definitely.

I look at the tall and vast structure of the palace built in stone. The intricate sculpting visible even from afar showcases the talent of the artists who created it. Yet somehow, the moon palace does not excite me now as it did a few days ago.
