Only a DEVIL can annihilate Evils

The story starts from a jail. There in a far isolated cell a criminal was held captive. That criminal fully engaged himself in writing a book. Suddenly the jailer appeared and said, “Hey, the publisher has come to give you a visit, talk to him but don’t take too long.”

A man in a brown suit came and said, “Mr.Yukioshi, have you finished writing the book? Because you have to finish it by afternoon and after that; sorry to say but you will be executed.”

In a grumpy voice Mr.Yukioshi replied, “You will have it before that. I’m almost finished.”

Then the afternoon came, the sky was full of golden rays of the sun and during that time Mr. Yukioshi was being taken to be executed. But before that he met that publisher, handed over the book and pronounced his last words, “Hey you, publisher, I’ve a last word. Before you publish that book make sure that Ms. Rafa Jennifer gets to read this book first. I don’t ask anything of you.”

The publisher whispered to himself, “I will, Mr. Yukioshi.”

In the evening the publisher went in front of a house called ‘Madarashi residence’. He knocked the door and a middle aged but a sad woman came. The publisher said, “Ms. Rafa Jennifer I’ve come here with the book as asked by Mr.Yukioshi. He asked me to let you read this first.”

In a gloomy voice she said, “So, what is this; a diary of Yuki’s?”

“No, it’s more of a book. It’s about his and his brother’s eventful life.”

“Oh, I see it’s a book about the devils”, she said.

Then the publisher said, “Ms. Rafa , Mr.Yukioshi asked me to give this to you and said that you will get all your answers you seek from here.”

“Oh! Thank you very much. I’ll give it a read then . I guess I’ll learn a lot about my dead husband from here than I could while I was actually with him.”

After that the publisher left. And Ms.Rafa took that book and sat on a rocking chair to read it. She said to herself, “Guess a legendary journey of a devil is about to be revealed by my hands. Should I be happy about that, I don’t know anymore…”

Inside that Book…………….

Our legend goes many years back in the past. My name was Yukioshi Ismail and at that time I was 14 years old. Things were great for me from the beginning. I had a cute little brother named Madarashi Ibrahim who was 13 years old, my father was minister and a member of the parliament of Bangladesh who is actually a Japanese but born there, I had a lovely mom who was carrying our sister inside her at that time; to sum up our family was the happiest of all, though it was a mirage, we didn’t know about.

 During that time, I had a chance to watch a R-rated film, except it was real. During the time of the whole film, I was numb, and when I came back to my senses; I saw that I was in a bloody dark room, my parents’ corpses was lying down there, they were missing some body parts, staring at me; and on the top of that there was a devil standing with a dagger and a devilish smirk on his face; a closer and clear look made it clear that it was none other than my little brother.

 At that time I was in such a shock that, I can only remember the ending of that real life R-rated film. But now I remember every inch of that film.

It was the day of our grandparents' first death anniversary. I and Madarashi (my little brother) got ready to go to pay their grave a visit with mom and dad. We were waiting in the living room; and kept waiting till the afternoon, but they didn't show up. Suddenly we heard mom screaming, and Madarshi and I rushed to their room. But our butler was standing there and for some reason he didn’t let us pass. We could hear mom screaming from time to time but we couldn’t do anything because of that butler more precisely; bastard.

A whole day passed but they didn’t come out of the room for once. Madarashi became worried and restless. He came up with a plan to infiltrate their room. He took me to the roof, tied a rope with a bar and was planning to infiltrate through the window and said,

I first thought he was crazy but I agreed with him as I had no other options to offer. And then we used the rope to climb down to our parents’ room and entered the room unaware of the fact that, it was actually a theatre of real life R-rated film.

Madarashi entered there first followed by me. When I entered I saw, because of some reason Madarashi froze there. And soon, I found out a horrible scene! I saw my father was standing there with two daggers in his hand and our mother was lying on the ground covered in blood, cuts and bruises. This scene had two different reactions in me and Madarashi . He started to scream out loud like he had gone berserk and for me, I couldn’t even move, my senses went numb. Because of his scream, father knew that we were there. He, with a daring face looked at us and said,

“Oh! So, you brats at last found out. Guess, I’ll have to dispose of you too!”

Just at that time mom started screaming, “Run! Run, from here you two. You will die too. Please, run away, my children, and I’m sorry, I couldn’t be able to let your sister see the light of the world, Sorry!”

Then she tried to come close to us. But just at that moment, father got angry and hit her with that dagger. Seeing that, Madarashi started to scream even louder while I couldn’t even move. But as mom came a little closer I could see her better but I wish I couldn’t. Because, there were more horrible scenes waiting for me. I saw that her nails were peeled off, all the fingers were broken and the clothes were all tattered, an unspeakable form of torture.

Then all of a sudden father with an insane look in his face said, “Come children, I will tell you a story today, a horror one!” and laughed.

Then he tied me and Madarashi. I couldn’t do anything but Madarashi tried to resist.

Then father said, “Let’s begin the story. First of all, the angel father you know is actually a demon disguised as an angel. Power is what matters to me. And I hate thorns on my way. In past few years a lot of people tried to be that thorn on my way and I simply annihilated them. And by doing so I’ve climbed up the ranks so easily in this country though being an Japanese.

But then I got married to your mother and dug my own grave. She soon found out all my secrets with proof and hid it somewhere. Because of that I couldn’t even kill her. But I was patiently waiting for the moment to strike. Along the way your grandparents came to know my secrets too. And past year they had to die, I believe yesterday was their death anniversary? Whatever, where was I again? Oh, yes, I remember; so, after all that, your mother couldn’t keep my secrets a secret and I found out.  But she tried her best to send you two, somewhere safely before I could break free from my binding. I will admit she was a formidable foe but even so she didn’t stood a chance against me and now she has to die followed by you two” and started laughing like the demon he was.

Just at that moment mother with all her strength left, tried to hold father back but that pissed of father even more. He turned around and swung the dagger and we saw a R-rated scene flashing before our eyes, except it was real. We saw our mom’s wrist flying away in front of us. I felt like I was about to pass out, even that was better than witnessing those horrible scenes. Madarshi started screaming all out. He was like, about to burst out of those ties.

Then father went close to mother, put his fingers under her nose and said, “Oh no! She died! How pitiful! May your soul rest in peace and don’t worry, your children will be joining you very soon.”

All these time Madarashi was screaming and crying like a lunatic. But suddenly he became so calm. At first I got really afraid. But then suddenly Madarashi said calmly,

“Father, I’ve a last wish. Please kill me before brother. And please untie me first , I want to feel mom’s warmth for the last time. And after that I’ll stand still before you and please kill me in one swoop.”

Father gladly accepted his offer and asked me if I had any wish. But I couldn’t say anything, all I could do is watch.

Then father untied Madarashi and Madarashi went and hugged mom. Father was standing beside. From my angle of view I saw that Madarashi was taking something from mom’s cloth. I recognized that, it was the safety pin Madarashi gifted mom in her last birthday. It was beautiful; a long pin on whose one point, there was a golden colored small ball. I thought he was taking this as a memory.

Then he went and stood in front of father preparing to die and useless me was sitting there doing nothing . Then father took the dagger and was about to hit him. I didn’t wanna see it but also couldn’t close my eyes. But then I saw father screaming all of a sudden! It was like he was in pain.

 Madarashi; don’t know how, but somehow pinned his hand with that safety pin and the dagger fell from his hand. I was literally shocked. Then Madarashi picked up the dagger swung that very fast. And I saw another wrist flying away, it was father’s wrist. And in the next moment father was injured all over. All that happened so fast that I couldn’t keep up with everything.

But father’s back touched the ground. He couldn’t move and was screaming out of pain. Then Madarshi with a daring face pointed the dagger on his chest and said,

“You were right, father. Mom surely was a formidable foe for you. But you were wrong about you winning against her. You know why? Because, she gave birth to your doom and that will be me…!”

Just after that, I saw some red fluid sprinkling all over. Made me understood that father’s game was all over too.

Then Madarashi put the dagger on the ground and calmly came and untied me. I was still conscious and unconscious at the same time. But this was the time I got to my senses and witnessed ‘The DEVIL’ for the first time. I looked at his face, he was insanely smiling and then burst into laughter. He looked like a freaking devil at that time. I really freaked out at that time. But suddenly he calmed down and said,

“This feels really good, brother! Can you feel it too? I can feel it, I can feel so many souls that father murdered over the past few years are thanking me for avenging their death, except mom. I can feel her saying, ‘You should have run away, you shouldn’t have dirtied your hands.’

Even so this feels good. But, but this isn’t enough. I can still hear so many souls crying out to me to avenge their death, those who were not a victim of father but other animals like father. I will hunt all those animals down and pass judgement on them.” And then laughed like a freak.

At that I time I felt like I was becoming normal again and I could talk. And I, in a scared voice said, “So, are, are you planning to be a police or FBI or a hero or something like that.”

Then in an angry face he stared at me and said, “Seriously, do you really believe police, FBI; a heeroo can even stand against people like our father? If they could, where were they all these time, why is our mom and grandparents dead? Hate to break it to you, but evil like our father resides beyond the reach of those losers.”

Seeing him I got scared, though the fact was, he was younger than I am. But then he calmed down and said,

“I don’t blame you. It’s only natural for kids of our age to believe that only heroes can fight against evil. But I’m done with believing those bluffs. I’ve moved on. Up until now we’ve been living in a mirage created by mom where we could see that the world is a peaceful and beautiful place. But the reality speaks differently. You know what I believe.......?

At that time I couldn’t recognize my little brother. He used to be a noble, simple minded and an angel but this was the time when he turned into a complex, twisted minded devil. He said,

“ To annihilate the evils, you have to be…..THE DEVIL…..”
