I Thought I Was A Devil

Season 7 Chapter 18

Felix: I can’t believe that I landed up in the police station, just because of you. (He grits his teeth)

King: (he shrugs) You should be glad that you aren’t behind bars. (He rolls his eyes)

Felix: You! (He hisses)

King: (smirks) Both of the siblings are crazy. Have you ever considered, going to a psychiatrist? (He says sarcastically.)

Felix: (he grabs King by his collar) I will kill you!!! (His eyes were red with anger as he groaned)

Police Office: Enough both of you! (He frowns) maintain decorum, or else I will put you behind bars.

Felix: Tsk. (He leaves King, before lowering his voice to a growl, eyes still burning with anger.) You think this is funny, King? You’ve dragged my sister into this mess. She’s barely holding it together.

King: (Unfazed, he straightens his collar, his smirk unfaltering.) Felix, you and your sister keep blaming me for your problems. Maybe it's time you both looked in the mirror.

Felix: (His hands clench into fists, trembling with barely contained rage.) She trusted you, King. She trusted you to be better than this.

King: (Scoffs) Trust? Don't be naive. She knew what she was getting into. I’ve never pretended to be anything other than what I am, if there is someone who actually pretended, it was your sister. So before finding faults in me, it's better if you keep an eye on her.

Felix: Don’t you dare. (He says threatening).

Police Officer: (Cuts in sharply) That’s enough! Both of you, sit down, or I’ll have you escorted out. This is not a place for your personal drama. I have already informed your respective families, they are on their way here.

King: (he murmurs under his breath terrified) Family?....

Me: What’s going on here? (I said panting out of breath, as I entered the police station, and fixed my eyes on King.)

King: (he sprung up with pale face, cold sweat on his forehead.) A-Anne? (He stammers.)

Leo: (he walks past me, as he advances towards the police officer) Good afternoon officer. (He says greeting politely while I waited) What happened, can you please give us some details?

King: Leo! How can you bring our younger sister to the police station? (He bit his lower lip) How can you be so careless??

Leo: (he grits his teeth while glaring at King) Shut….your trap. (He says in a low whispering tone)

Police officer: Please sit down. (He sighs while glancing at Leo and Me. We nodded before sitting down.) Your bother was caught fighting in public, but…..because he is young and there was no major damages caused. We are letting them go with a warning, but please make sure that this doesn’t repeat in the future.

Leo: Did he injure anyone. (He asks)

Police officer: Fortunately there was no incidents. Only few minor injuries. (He sighs) we didn’t record it officially, police was called before it could turn into an issue. Both of them are lucky this time.

Leo: (Nods, his face tense but controlled.) Thank you, Officer. We’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again. (He casts a sharp glance at King and Felix.)

Police Officer: (Sighs, looking between the brothers and Anne.) I hope so. This kind of behavior won’t be tolerated a second time.

King: (He looks down, avoiding eye contact, his earlier confidence now replaced with a mixture of shame and anxiety.) Leo, I didn’t mean for this to happen…

Leo: (Cuts him off, his voice cold and authoritative.) Save it, King. You always don’t mean for things to happen, but they always do. (He says before grabbing my hand and walking out of the police station. His emotions were unreadable, there anger mixed with frustration, stress and embarrassment.)

Me: B-Brother….(I hesitated, as he squeezed my wrist tightly while being distracted by his own thoughts.)

King: Leo! (He calls while running towards us, as he grabs Leo by his collar.) Why did you bring Anne here?! (He screams, his eyes wide with anger.)

Leo: (he leaves my wrist then pushes King away) I brought her here, so that she can witness with her own eyes, how messed up you are. (He grits his teeth) Don’t even dare glare at me, you moron. You are lucky that I didn’t inform our father.

King: Are you trying to threaten me?! (He raises his hand out of anger.)

Me: Enough! Have you finally lost your mind?! (I said standing in between them) King! Stop! do you want to go back inside? And Leo, is this how you speak with your younger brother? (I asked while folding my arms.)

Leo: (Smirks, voice dripping with sarcasm.) Sure, Mom.

King: Anne….(he hesitates)

Me: Don’t even dare. (I said with a sharp tone.)

Felix: (he walks up to us) King! Did you forget that I exist?!

Me: What is your problem? (I asked coldly)

Felix: (frowns) Tsk. (He glanced at King) Can’t believe that you have a sister, yet you did something like that to my sister.

King: I didn’t do anything to your sister! Are you a blockhead or something?! (He says frustrated) Even if you keep repeating your charges, it won’t change the reality!

Felix: Stop lying you fucker! Why else will my sister cry, if you didn’t get her pregnant! (He clenched his fist)

Leo: What the fuck? (He murmurs in disbelief)

King: Forget about having intercourse, I didn’t even hugged or kissed her! (He rubs his forehead getting annoyed.)

Felix: (His voice grows louder, echoing with anger and disbelief.) Don’t try to wriggle your way out of this, King! You think you can just mess with her and walk away without any consequences? She’s crying every day, damn it!

Me: Did your sister told you, that my brother got her pregnant? (I raised my brow, my eyes fixed on his face.)

Felix: (he hesitates, as he was taken aback by my questioning eyes.) N-No…b-but….(he stammers) Why else would she be crying and taking his name for days, if something like that didn’t happen?!

Me: pfft. (I couldn’t help but laugh) So, you saw your sister crying, and assumed that my brother got her pregnant, and let me guess, she didn’t even bother to clear your misunderstanding, and the next thing you did, was to come here and beat my brother? (I raised my brow) We can file a case of defamation against you.

Felix: (he bit his lower lip) Stop fucking around with me. You are telling me that my sister was crying for no reason?

Me: Listen Mister, my brother is a moron, I agree. He is a playboy and an asshole. I kept warning him regarding his behaviour but his stubborn ass never listened. (King whimpered hearing my words) But I know that my brother isn’t a monster, who would get a woman pregnant and run from his responsibilities.

Felix: I….uhm….but….that….(he stammers while trying to come up with a counter argument.)

Leo: (Cuts in sharply, his tone cold.) Enough with the assumptions, Felix. You’ve made some serious accusations without a shred of proof. If you’re going to make these claims, you better back them up with facts, not just emotional outbursts.

King: (he bit his lower lip feeling emotional) Guys…..(his lips tremble, as his eyes become moist)

Leo: Shut your mouth. You caused this whole mess. (He glares at King who shuts up hearing brother Leo's warnings.)

King: (he looks down rubbing his shoulder feeling guilty and embarrassed) Sorry.

Felix: (He glares at Leo, but his anger is now mixed with confusion.) You’re saying I should just ignore my sister’s pain? She’s been crying her eyes out, saying King’s name over and over. What the hell am I supposed to think?

Me: (I sighed feeling frustrated as I rubbed my forehead) You really think that she is innocent?

Felix: (he raised his brow) Huh?

Me: Where is she? (I asked while sighing as I started losing my patience)

Felix: I…I don’t know. (He hesitated) She left home early morning, and isn’t even picking up calls. (He said getting worried)

Me: So, you sister is missing, and your first reaction was finding my brother and beating him? Makes sense. (I shrugged.)  Maybe my brothers would have also done the same. I don’t blame you. You are blinded by your love for your sister.

Felix: (His face flushes with a mix of shame and frustration.) I just… I thought… (He struggles to find the right words, his eyes darting around as if searching for something to anchor him.)

Leo: (Steps closer, his expression stern but calmer than before.) Look, Felix, I get it. If my sister were in trouble, I’d do anything to protect her too. But you have to realize that running around like this without understanding the full picture is only going to make things worse.

Felix: (He clenches his jaw, his fists still trembling with residual anger.) So what now? You think I should just sit around and do nothing while she’s out there, God knows where?

Me: Calm your ass and lets find your sister first. (I sighed rolling my eyes.) Where does she usually go when her mood is low?

Felix: I-I don’t know….(he lowered his eyes feeling embarrassed)

Me: You don’t know where your sister does when she is feeling low? (I frowned) What do you even know about her?

Felix: I-I am sorry…..(he feels guilty) Please help me, I am begging you….I am really scared. (He says while trembling in fear.)

King: Both of you are a piece of work. (He said frustrated.)

Me: Those words doesn’t suits your mouth. (I raised my brow in disbelief.)

King: (sulks) I am sorry….jeez…..(he sighs feeling irritated. As his phone vibrates. He stares at the number for a second then picks up the call as his face turns pale) Alright. I understand. (He disconnects the call and turns towards Felix) Freya….she…..(he gulps his spit) At university…..

Felix: (His eyes widen in panic.) What? What happened to her at the university?

King: (Takes a deep breath, his face pale.) She… she’s on the rooftop of one of the buildings. She is standing at the edge crying and talking to herself.

Felix: (His voice trembles, a mix of fear and urgency in his tone.) Why didn’t you say so earlier?! (He yells, his panic escalating.)

Me: We don’t have time, we should get going now. (I said trying not to panic. As we hurried towards King's university.)
