Orphic

Episode 23

Darkness swallowed the whole world , just like his soul. Silence lingered in every corner of that room as the little light illuminated his eyes into hypnotic swirls of electric blue waves.

His long fingers toyed with the multi coloured bandana in his hand. A pair of fierce yet innocent green orbs filled his vision making a smirk spread on his face. Leaning back in his chair, his cheek stung because of the scratch mark that the little fox had gifted him just hours ago.

He knew she was someone of importance at once when his eyes met hers. Glimmering pools of earthly greens. He couldn't see her face completely but those wet lashes and naive eyes had him entranced for a minute there.

"Sir?" A voice made his smirk fall and a stoic expression take it's place.

"Yes?" He turned to his man with his cold icy gaze.

"We've caught the man with the bike that ran away" his second in command informed. His eyebrows raised as he gestured for him to bring forth the man.

"P... Please let me go." The poor man cried joining his hands together as his men dragged him in. He wore a driver's uniform and a scared look on his face.

"What were you doing with that bike?" The blue eyed man asked making haseeb shiver under his tormenting gaze.

"I... I"

"Is it yours?" The intimidating man asked coldly making haseeb flinch.

"S... Sir p... Please let me go." He begged shivering in the men's hold.

"I'll do exactly that just tell me about the owner of the bike" he said calmly leaning back in his office looking haseeb dead in the eye.

"Why.... Why do you want to know?" He dared to ask, his voice a scared whisper.

"Answer the question and we'll be done and if not then bhai jaan this can get dirty real quick" the sitting man spoke lowly. His calm chilling and cunningly comforting for the subject.

"But... Why?"

Blue crystals scrutinized haseeb as the man stood to his full height intimidating the man in question.

"It was a hit and run. I want to know about the girl for that reason" he said studying haseeb's sweating self.

"Ah... Then why did you bring me here?"

"Answer the damn question!" His resolve broke finally making haseeb shudder in fear.

"I.. I don't know. I've just started working for the family. I don't know anyone else other than Yasir sahab and Zahan sahab" he flinched back finding tht man standing mere steps away from him.

"What were you doing with the bike?"

"The tire was punctured and Zahan sahab told me to get it fixed"

"Was there a girl with him?"

"Y- yes"

"Who's she?"

"L- like I said I d- don't know her name" he stuttered avoiding eye contact with those blazing blue eyes.

Haseeb looked around pondering over the thought of he should tell him. He had just started working there two weeks back and didn't quite knew who everyone was, since Yasir hired him and Zahan appointed him for himself.

"Let him go" the man said turning around making his men stare at him confused.

"But sir-"

"Dismissed" he said staring at the lifeless moon that stared back at him.
