ANGEL OF DEATH

Mantra

    Suddenly Abaan grabbed Ahaan by his collar.
    "Get out," he shouted.
 
  Ahaan moved and gripped Abaan's neck. "Why don't you get out of here, my brother?" he snarled, increasing the pressure with every word.
   
They both stared at each other for a while. I could sense intense hatred between them for each other.
   
Ahaan balled his hand into a tight fist and was about to punch Abaan's face.

Suddenly, I found some courage to speak out loud - "Stop it, both of you."
    
Ahaan looked at me, pushed Abaan hard on his chest, and turned around quickly, facing me.
   
"Dhani...I can explain.." he mewled.

Before he could say anything, Abaan came forward. Holding my arms he said - "Don't listen to him, let me explain everything to you."
   
I looked at them both and found my voice again -"Please, both of you leave me alone. I added again - leave."
   
Abaan took a step forward to hold me again -"Dhani.."
   
I stepped back, looking down at the floor, and breathed -"Just leave.."
    
"Dhani..please.." he muttered audibly.
   
I looked up at him. He was staring at my face through tears that made my heart clench.
   
I moved towards him and cupped his face in my palms. I wanted to say something to him, which could comfort him, but my words were inaudible.
 
 Ahaan chuckled softly and muttered - "Fucking crying baby...you could be a great actor bro."
   
Hearing him chuckle, I lost all my temper. I rushed towards him and slapped him as hard as I could.
   
He turned to look at me. I could see the pain in his eyes.
   
"Leave, and never come back into our lives again. Never!" I shouted.
   
Abaan held me in his arms to calm me down.
    
Ahaan was looking so hurt, there was no smile, no smirk. He was just staring at my face blankly.
   
I turned my back on him and hugged Abaan because his intense gaze weakening me. I met him just today but I am feeling some crazy bond with him like he has the power to weaken me.
   
"Dhani.." I heard the soft voice of Abaan. "He is gone. It's okay."
 
I looked up to Abaan and turned around to Ahaan's side where he had been standing a while before. My eyes were searching for him but I was relieved that now there was nobody between me and Abaan.

-------------------------------------------------------
    I was trying hard to sleep but every time I closed my eyes, that pale, sad, handsome face started to haunt me, his dead blank eyes staring at me.
   
"Ahaan..!" I woke up murmuring his name. I looked at the wall clock. It was 7 a.m.
   
I was doing all my morning routines but there was the same thing repeating inside my head; Ahaan's blank stare.
    "Am I missing him?" I asked myself.
   
No, I should be happy that now there was no one between us. Now there was only me and Abaan. I glanced at myself in the mirror before leaving for work and gave myself a bright and fake smile.

    The bus stopped with a sudden shudder. The bus conductor started shouting again - "Get down. Do it fast, do it fast." I got down from the bus and headed towards the cafe.
   
"Dhani.." I heard a whisper in the air.
   
I turned towards the voice and my eyes got stuck on him. It was Ahaan, looking damn handsome in his white shirt and blue jeans with cool blue-shaded sunglasses. In his fitted white shirt, his wrestler's shoulders were looking much more visible.
   
He started walking towards me. Everything started happening in slow motion. I knew that I was looking dumb but it was like I was flying somewhere else. Maybe not flying -I was falling.......
   
Wait! Falling? What? What was wrong with me? I suddenly broke out of my thoughts. Before I could fully come back to my senses, though, Ahaan came closer to me and said -" "Dhani... I know you don't want to see me, but listen to me very carefully."

I was staring at him blankly, or maybe foolishly. He poked my nose, and with his killer smile said - "Hey..."
    
His small touch on my nose gave me goosebumps, which was enough to get me back to my senses. I stepped back and pretended to be irritated.
   
"Why are you here?" I asked.
   
His smile faded, and he reverted to his serious look.
   
"Dhani... I don't care what you think about me but I am here to warn you of what is about to come, and I want you safe." He stepped forward a bit and tried to hold me by my shoulders. But before he could grab me, I moved back and asked, shocked - "Safe? What do you mean?"
    
"I wish that I could explain everything to you but  I don't have the time. I can't stay here for too long." His voice was desperate.
   
He looked around and leaned near my ear and whispered – "Just listen very carefully. Your safety is your happiness. Keep yourself happy. Just keep yourself happy." He pressurized on his every word.
    
"But?" Before I could ask him anything, he walked away and vanished somewhere.
    
He had just left me with a million questions to wander around in my head.
"Safe? Is something coming? What does he mean? Why do I have to be cautious? And what kind of strange mantra did he gave me? To keep me safe I have to keep myself happy? What the hell was all that about?"
