Orphaned...???.

2

The sun was near the horizon, exhibiting various shades of crimson, amber and orange. It was hard to distinguish whether it was rising or setting and it was even more disturbing as no one knew it was the ending or just the beginning.

A man was sitting in his room, contemplating his thoughts on whether to move forward or to move backward but as usual people give more importance to the past rather than present and he did the same..

He was recalling and regretting that fateful day when he had abandoned his child, reasoning that he wasn't able to do upbringing of him because he wasn't financially stable.

Though his business wasn't flourishing at that time and he wasn't able to provide his son an extravagant lavish life, he was very much capable of providing a simple and happening life as a father.

His life was a tragedy even then and now also, when he had limited income he had to leave his son but now also when he has everything a well established business, a luxurious bungalow, lavish cars and a sumptuous lifestyle he doesn't have his son with him.

He lamented the absence of his son and his wife ,even though she was such a beast of nature he still couldn't deny the fact that she was his son's mother.

Regrets were taking a toll on his mental health. He was always busy thinking about his love of life whom he was married off with. She was an elegant and soft-spoken lady. Everyone found her pretty but she was even prettier at heart. No one can make a wild guess that she was a vampire hiding behind the facade of a human being though she never harmed anybody till that time but the fact of being a vampire can't be ignored.

Her husband knew she was visually sensitive to any light source, she could easily find a needle in the night as she had better night vision than day vision. But what he didn't know at that time was that all these strange behaviours of his wife were the characteristics of a vampire. He started researching thus he was partially sure that she was a vampire, he couldn't believe it but he had to.

His doubt confirmed when he saw her biting on the neck of a relative and drinking the human blood, her fangs were clearly visible. He had never seen this side of his wife in the past two years.

He was in a great dilemma, how to take care of his newborn son. He couldn't give the innocent infant to his vampiric mother. She understood that now her husband knows the truth so she went to him to confess the whole scenario without wasting any moment. She explained or maybe can say unfolded to him that she wasn't a powerful vampire from beginning but she was committed to become the same as soon as she reached the age of twenty three and the day he saw her drinking blood was her 23rd birthday.

He had to make a decision and thus he decided to send his son to an orphanage to save him from her own mother even after constant pleading and protests from her side he didn't care to change his decision so she left the house after giving a long downhearted look to her son.

He was very well aware of what she was doing after leaving home but he didn't care to go and check upon her after all what she was doing was heinous and egregious.

But the man knew what's written about the fate of his child. His son was ought to do good deeds but there will be his mother's spell on him which will force him to do wrong deeds thus the powers of the vampire in him will overpower the humanity in him. He was well aware that his wife used her powers to lure her son to herself ultimately making him to follow the lead of her mother's casted steps.

All the incidents were skillfully arranged and implemented to make a path for him which leads him to his mother. But how does his father know that it's going to happen?? How does he know what's written in his child's fate?? Why didn't he go behind her wife to stop her, after all he knew what she was doing. Wasn't following her and stopping her from doing wrong is his responsibility as a husband or a responsible civilian?? There were so many why's and how's but answers for them was none or those questions actually had answers??

Everybody makes mistakes whether big or small. He himself knew that he had made many mistakes but he didn't know whether abandoning his child was a bigger mistake or the mistake of not stopping his wife from destroying the lives of others was huge. He only asked himself whether he had made his son's life heaven or hell after leaving him alone. He has everything now but whether he is happy or not.

Whether a mistake or not but what had to happen has already happened and no one can change it or it can be changed? He was wrong or his wife was wrong? If he was wrong, then how far was he wrong? What's the truth? He could fight for his son and could surely win but why didn't he fight for him?? Or he didn't want to fight for him??, in between lots of questions the man sitting in the room smirked devilishly...

So this is the second and last part of this TS...
I'm so happy that I have completed my first ever creation though it's small but this is so special to me and I will cherish it forever..
I hope you all like it...

Stay safe and stay healthy🙏🏻🙏🏻

Lots of love❤❤
