Russian roulette-part 16 b

Shady was at his den , staring at the pictures of his love cheating on him. He had enough proof with him to prove his love’s dishonesty. When he got to know for the first time, he didn’t digest the fact easily. He had bashed the spy hard until he believed him. He wanted to shoot Inna on spot. But he controlled his temper and waited for the right moment. It wasn’t the right moment to butcher the goat. He had to feed the goat well with love and compassion. When it was fat, he was going to kill it.

His heart ached to know that the goat was Inna. “ Why did you break my heart? Was my love not enough for you? What did you get in doing this?”, he wondered.

His token of gift to her was to induce her to fall for the trap. When she was inside, he was going to finish her. He had to be careful to not let Inna suspect him. The best gift was to get her stay with him. The only way was to give her bait in form of marriage. She would surely accept it.

He walked towards the bar and made himself a drink. He shaked it in order to make it taste better. He sipped it and thought about what he was going to do next with her. He had to play safe.

“ Are you sure? Did he seriously mean what he was saying?” , Nina wanted to say. But she kept quite. Instead she congratulated Inna on her engagement. She was happy but sad that all this was not true. She had seen the other day when he was talking to other man about Inna’s disloyalty. She had heard them speak about how he was going trick her and remove her from his life. She hated Shady more than she had for breaking her friend’s heart. She knew her friend wouldn’t believe her. But she had to tell her about the real face of Shady. She attempted to disclose the reason for why he wanted to hurt her friend. At last she knew the reason.  But the reason didn’t convince . She knew Inna wouldn’t do that. If she ever showed the true face of Shady, she wouldn’t believe.

Whenever Nina tried to warn her friend, something would crop between them. It was time for Inna to leave. “ If you need help, call me. I will always be there for you. Don’t fret. Think about me when you need me. ”, she said. “ I know that you will be always there for me.” , Inna replied.

Inna walked downstairs and turned to see her friend in the balcony. She was worried and tensed. Inna assumed her depressed look to feeling of missing her. But something told her that it wasn’t normal for her friend to say those lines. It didn’t mean that she wouldn’t have said when there was nothing wrong. But the way Nina had emphasized on the words of ‘always be there’ told her something was wrong. She had to know the reason and planned to ask her the next day.
