Red roses - Part 11

Arjun's life came to standstill. His worst nightmare became a reality. He should be happy but his heart was aching badly. He wanted to leave but he couldn't because of his friends. The pain was similar to one when we feel at the time when our friends score better than us in exam.

" Rajeev!! Do you seriously mean it? I am aghast! I have no words!  Is this true?", she asked , not able to digest the fact that Rajeev had just proposed her. Tears were in verge of bursting out from her eyes.

She composed herself. She took few long breath. After a lot of time sorting out her heart and mind , she agreed, breaking Arjun's heart. Rajeev was thrilled and hugged her. Arjun was obviously unhappy but he pretended to be happy. He had to leave them alone and if he stayed longer , he wouldn't be happy. " Guys! Congratulations! But I am sorry, urgent work came up.", he lied, pretending to see his cellphone.

They tried to coax him to stay longer. But he was adamant and left. As he walked down the road, he wasn't able to understand this new feeling he had for Lucy. He had wooed her for his friend. Now he didn't want them together because he got to know her well and was smitten by her adaptability.

A man in his early thirties was chained. There was not even a slightest way for him to escape. He had been screaming for many days . But now he was accustomed to the fact that he couldn't be heard. It had been days since he was locked up. He had no idea about how he had landed here.

The solitude had taken every part of his sanity. The only thing he wanted was glimpse of human's presence. He had lost 90% hope in life. But 10% hope made him alive. As he observed the place, he saw a presence appearing from nowhere. It was coming closer to him. Suddenly his senses became alert. But it wasn't too quick than the alien body which had already taken control of him. It was over him and looked straight into his eyes. Fear blared from his eyes and his mouth was open like a wide O. It had no eyes and only one mouth was present on the face. It opened it's mouth wide near his face and a white light penetrated from it's mouth to his mouth. It was sucking out life from him. Another victim lost his life under it's control.
