ARTFUL Roses ( Suga Ff )

===========

We were walking along the man-made Stream. We have been walking here for about 5 minutes but none of us stepped in to clear the air. Gathering my courage, I decided to step on the silence .

"Why are we here" I asked him

"A night walk with nature will help you clear your mind" he said calmly. Him being calm at such a time is equal to pumpkin on pizza. A dangerous combination.

"I am really sorry suga. I know you are mad .I didn't mean to create a fuss. I just..." he interrupted me in the middle.

" I am not mad at you for creating a fuss . I appreciate your move to protect me. The only question is why you followed me"

" Huh?. Actually I wanted to... The thing is.."

"You wanted to know about the plans . Don't you? " he asked me.

He stopped in his track and took a seat in the stairs beside the stream. I silently took a seat beside him . Water was brushing past our toes, making me shiver a little. The reflection of moon covered the entire stream, an idyllic scene .

"I know even you deserve an explanation but I am not sure how far you will be able to digest it " He said

I looked at him with eager eyes and signaled him to go ahead.

"Fine then. Listen I kill people for money , something which I have been doing even before entering high school . I am a member of reputed mafia organisation. I trade in all kind of illegal activities , drugs take major proportion" he said . I was not shocked to hear as I already knew this coming . I just remained silent. Interpreting my silence he said

" I understand your desire to run away.It is natural for people to fear me but you can't get away with this shit any time soon. Whether You like it or not, you have to stay under my shadow ".

I felt aggregated by his last words. I knew it from the beginning but hearing it from his mouth was making it ten times more realistic. I rummaged through my pockets and handed him a scrumbled paper.

" I found this in dustbin . I know you are a member of a biggest underworld organization and I am not afraid of you" I said. He was shocked at start but soon regained his posture

" and why are you not afraid" he asked .

" I trust you" I stated simple.

He was afterall trying to protect me . This past one month I have grown close to him and started trusting him a lot. He was flustered inside, but still had those expressionless face , not showing any kind of emotion .

"I want to know from what are you trying to protect me" I asked him, tilting my head towards him.

" I told you already it's from.."

" Don't say it's from rm . I want to know the reason why he is behind you and why he is aiming me" I asked him.

" hmm.... Apparently he thinks of you as my girlfriend or someone important" he said Shrugging .

" That's absurd but makes sense .....and"

" and what" he asked , turning towards me.

" You didn't answer my first question" I said . He slowly turned away and started staring at the flowing water, thinking hard .The sudden silence between us confirmed that there is some personal tension between rm and suga.
