for you [Completed]

life

"Shawn, where have you been this two weeks? I have waited for you every day but you never showed up."

Shawn could clearly see the fret in the dark brown eyes of Loomine.

"I was.... My mother was very sick I had to be by her side. She died last week. My sister was raped. She hanged herself."

"I am really sorry."

"It's alright, it's not like I can bring them back. But I want to see your smiling face for the rest of my life."

"Shawn, let's flee far away. My father fixed my engagement next week with a wealthy old man. I can never be happy with him. All I want is to be with you. I have already talked to my grandmother. So please, let us escape somewhere very far from here."

Their marriage was nothing very special. There were no bridesmaids, no flowers, no cheerings but they were happy to have each other.

A couple of months after their marriage, the devil appear before Shawn.

"You gave her the freedom she wanted, she works hard along with everyday but she is happy now. Isn't your wished fulfilled?"

"No please, let me live for some more. Let me spend some more days with her."

"As you wish. But remember, the more days you live the more miserable death you get."

Three years passed, Shawn runs a successful business now. Loomine is five months pregnant. There was no sign of the devil after that day. Maybe he will have a normal peaceful life for the rest of years to live. At least so he thought.

One day there was a phone call informing Shawn his wife had an accident, she was hospitalized.
He left his office and rushed towards the hospital.

"Excuse me, Mr.Shawn Ridhwar you are under arrest."

"What? No, why? You can't I have to get to my wife. She is hospitalized. No, please let me go..."

Once again Shawn sat on the floor of the dark bridge well crunching his legs inward. He couldn't care any less what happens to him. All he wanted to know is, if his wife was fine.

"If you want to know about your wife this much, I will show you. Just close your eyes and think of your wife."

As he closed his eyes, he could clearly see his wife sitting on a hospital bed.

"Madam, you are fine now. But we couldn't save your child. We are sorry. Do you have any relatives we could call?" A nurse stated.

"I can't remember anything. What happened to me, who am I? I can remember nothing." His wife said blankly.

"Madam, it seems like you are having a temporary memory loss due to shock. Please try to remember. I am sure you will be able to remember. I will call the doctor." The nurse left leaving Loomine alone to think.

"I had a child? Than who is the father? Why can't I remember? Then was that child.... No that can't be it. I feel there was someone, someone very special to me. Who is he? Ah.... I can't remember. My head hurts."

Shawn opened his eyes to not being able to stand it anymore.

"Why is she suffering? Why? I was the one to form contract. I am supposed to die miserably. Let her be."

"You ask why? Yes, I forgot to tell you, she was the one to form contract first. She told she will bear all pain to be with you. She wanted pain and that she is having now. When you told me you wanted time I thought it is fine. After all, three souls would be better. Sorry fooouur."

"You devil..."

He tried to grap the devil by his collar but the devil vanished in the air and immidiately stood behind him.

"Yes devil. To me, pain is pleasure, sorrow is happiness. I will tell you another secret. Your sister, was just like you. Easily manipulated. The guardian angles left her side once she fell for my trap. She was back to her senses once she saw you standing right infront of the bed where she was enjoying herself. The tears that you saw were the tears of her guilt. She ignored the angle's warning just like you."

His eyes widened as he remembered the voice he heard three years ago before forming the contract.

"Please stop. I don't want to hear anymore. Just leave me alone."

"I will leave now. Another thing, I have decided you will get vision of what your wife is doing from now on. No matter if you keep your eyed shut or wide open. You will be sharing her pain."

"I remember now. Shawn... Where is he?" Loomine asked herself.

"He is imprisoned. Guilty of bank robbery, murder."

"Abraxas.... I know he is innocent. Let him go. You can give me pain as much as you like. Just spare him."

"I see you really love each other. Both of you are much alike. Close your eyes darling I will show you something appealing."

As Loomine closed her eyes, she could see a baby crawling on his fours. She couldn't help but smile. Suddenly another baby appeared from behing the baby. Both of the babies were crawling towards her. But before she could hold them, two dark hand scatched the babies and they were thrown on the fire. The babies kept crying while burning in the black flames if hell.

Loomine opened her eyes panting heavily.
"No... It can't be. Not my babies too. Noooo....."

Loomine remained silent for the rest of the day. Shawn could just watch her. How he wished he could comfort her even if it is for a couple of minutes. But all hopes are gone now. He regretted abandoning the path of God. God would have made her happier he knows.

At midnight Loomine got up from her bed, walked towards the window. As she opened the window she felt a strong yet soft breeze flowing. She smiled thinking the world is actually a beautiful place. And then.... Everything went black.

Shawn couldn't utter a word. He was helpless, he became numb.
He found the blade under his pillow. The blade that the devil left, the blade which was the proof of their contract.

A severe pain ran through his veins.
"Loomine...."

"Humans are foolish creatures.

Ah.... Another distressed, crumbled soul is calling me. It is only a matter of time to devour another soul, drag it to the gates of hell."
