Life doesn't always bestow us with the choice; sometimes it just sets us in front of the unknown and we could either surrender or survive.

-Selene
The serenity and happiness was intruded.
“Set aside”
“Close the door”
"No one should leave their places"
The deep scary voices of Mafia-like men was echoing the house. Suddenly there was nothing but silence. In a panic, I rushed downstairs with fear tumbling the walls of my heart.
Some well built dangerous-looking men dressed in all black attire have intruded inside our house causing a wreck.
As soon as Cadie opened the door; she was bestrewed with suspicious people having loaded gun.
My brain freezes and denies to answer, what shall I do?
Mine not so active brain and a timid heart are the most unreliable objects during time of crisis.
Without wasting a second with all the energy I could muster I ran towards her trying to break in the circle inside which she was there covered around with guards. Before I could blink an eye or process the happenings the undergaurds has noticed me running towards her and I was stopped in middle making my body stoic at the touch of the creepy gun.
“Don’t move.” He said building the pressure of the gunpoint placed at my forehead.
“Move inside” A man ordered.
“Who are you all? What do you want?” She asked in a brave yet shaky voice.
I don’t know how did she gather this courage when my legs were trembling and my tongue has become too timid. She has a gift of threatening voice.
“Not a word. Just do as said. I hope you want your dearest Mr Kathin safe and sound.” He said in a deep echoing horrid tone.
My face lost all existent colour. How did he know about dad? He is missing since yesterday night. Is it a bad omen signalling something befalling to us.
Instead of making another unfavourable movement, she did as asked, crawling towards the room beside the lobby we went inside with guns still pointed at us.
“Sit down.” The man who looked like the head of these illicit gangs spoke.
I could say he was either ahead or rank above these people because he had a silver brochure with a shiny G letter mounted on it. Probably meaning Gang Leader.
The only difference among all these similar dressed men holding similar uncivilised horrible behaviour.
“Where is he, how you know him. Is he safe?" Mom enquired with scary eyes.
We were helpless and bounded. Tears wiped my cheeks, the rock-hearted man standing with the gun on my head passed a wicked smile.
Heartless and imperiling …
“He would be safe for as long as you follow our order.” He warned cleverly in his stoic voice.
“Don’t do anything to him. What do you want? Take this house. Take everything we have. We don’t have a lot of money but we will give you all what we have. Just leave him.” I cried in a helpless voice. We could hand over all our belongings for his safety we just want him to be safe and sound.
The man gave me a deadly stare that tried to nail me to the wall. He gave me a devastating look. But the words once said can’t be retreated. I was bewildered thinking what is he so annoyed about. I just talked about the ransom, this is what these money savoured, heartless fellows ran after. This is all for which they commit sinuous deeds.
“Curl back your tongue and calculate your words, You look like a sensible duckling.” Gazing at me from top to toe he gave me a look of despise and detest.
I stepped back an inch, terrified and haunted with the aura surrounding us; dark and horrid.
“Ugly ducking, don’t pin your nose in these matters. We are not beggars who need money, though you look like one.” He slurs scanning my baggy and soiled clothes owing to the cleanliness work I was undergoing through.
I was not sad at being called ugly, certainly not this time when the situation was so stressed and beyond control.
Being called ugly, fugly, bugly, bucket head, gaudy gear and the list continues. I am used to all this, and this is what I choose for myself.
“Can't you keep your mouth zipped?” Mom said with fiery eyes pointed at me.
I am too timid to even say a thing. I just want my father to be safe, I just tried to ensure the same and everyone in the room is already annoyed. Like usual I curled back with fear and grief shadowing my heart.
“He said it right ugly duckling that’s what you are. An ugly soul with an ugly face and doomed presence. Your presence sets all things wrong.” She spoke words which pierces my heart. Can’t she be any good to me? At last she is my mother I always loved her like my birth mom but she never accepted me. She only loved Mariah. My twin sister. She never accepted me as a sister nor loved me. She is the one appreciated by all and I am the one who has to bear all curses and reprimands.
We had same features, totally similar. The only thing that distinguishes me from her is some little things like the patched highly uneven skin tone and blemishes. Huge specs and spoiled clothes, with the worst style. I am dark she is fair. She looks like a fairy I look like a junk. This is what people have told me enough times to make things clearly engraved in my mind.
“Please tell me what we must do. Forget this stupid girl.” She spoke with the sweetest sounding voice.
“If you all want him alright; marry your daughter Mariah to capomandamento.” He spoke in an emotionless static voice. I was shocked to listen and Mom was deserted this was the something she would not think about her most loving piece of heart to be married to a Mafia king. Marrying him would mean living a life of blood and hatred. This is not what she wanted for her not even in dreams.
“My daughter. Mariah. No. No. I can’t. “ She busted out in inconsolable tears.
He mentioned some capomandamento; I knew that this means boss. So they do have a boss and the person who seems such a danger and inhuman is not the boss. Still, he is so much harmful and dangerous.
I was numb thinking about their boss, what a piece of shit he must be. Totally inhuman, barbaric, destructive, hopeless.
Mariah always tried to bully me, made my life a living hell. But I would never want her to go through all this. I was disheartened.
But this time I want my father safe, and my not so loving sister as well. But there seems no way out of this.
“I won’t warn twice. That’s your last chance. Either I am going to leave with your daughter accompanying me Or either I will return back with your beloved husband Cadaver.”
“I would have if she would have been safe and sound…” Saying this she busted out in tears.
I was shocked at series of events. Mariah is all safe and sound. Not to mention she might be chilling in her room with headphones on and no idea of what is happening here.
Probably a trick of my clever mom. Fingers crossed, God please make it work.
“What happened to her? Don’t try to mess up things and fool me around. Don’t you dare.” He warned in an alarming voice. The voice which has nerve wrecked my heart.
“I am saying it true, She is in the third stage of cancer. We kept it a secret, but this is what it is She is battling life and death every day.” She spoke in a very sad voice. I was shocked to hear all this and was shocked beyond bounds. Is she lying or what. I was also almost hooked on this lie trap. She sounds almost real and if this is her acting she could claim an Oscar for this.
“She could survive for a year, we just want her to be alive till then.” The man with a G brooch hooked to her coat spoke.
“Probably she won’t, we can’t say about a day.” She spoke in a very depressing voice.
I prayed that God please don’t let her arrive down dancing and singing the tunes. She won’t look ill at all.
“That’s a big problem. K.T father wants him to marry the daughter of Marvel’s clan. You are the last existent one in the whole community. All are wiped out leaving aside your family.
This was a piece of shocking news to me. I never knew that our clan was so rare or rarest of all. To put it we are the last existent ones. What is so special about this clan? I thought burying my head inside the neck of my hoody.
Had we were not born in this clan, all would have been nice, at peace and not this threatening.
“So…” My thought process was interrupted as he was about to say something. He gave a deep thought. He was immersed into a long thought process leading to a big long pause
I was praying throughout that God must change his mind. His so-called boss finds some other girl to ruin her life and save Mariah from this turmoil….
After a pause, he spoke. “We would have abducted you; but I am searching for a better option. You are not his standards.”
“You also belong to Marvel’s clan?” He asked in a suspicious voice.
As he questioned again I realized he was talking about me all through out. He meant he might have married me had I been good looking like Mariah. I never knew my points of pain, the blessing in disguise could be such a saviour.
It seems like God has listened to me within seconds but he mistook my prayer. I wanted to pull Mariah out of hell, but for sure I never wanted to step inside this hell.
“Yeah, I said nodding my head horizontally in direction of a No. Fearing at the one percent possibility of what if he considers my marriage with him.”
“Yes or No”, He asked again, in a chapped hoarse voice.
“Yes,” I said in a low shaky voice.
“They both are sisters. True Marvel's clan you can take her in place of Mariah.” The lady whom I women whom I despised the most said. I don’t even want to call her my mom.
Why does she hate me this much? It is only my father who loves me. He loves me more than anything in this world. I won’t let him to be harmed.
“Humm...Let us see let me talk to K.T.” he murmured
Who is this K.T I wondered? And then soon realized he is talking about their Mafia Boss.
I felt like roaring and yelling, don’t forget to mention to him that I am terribly ugly, hideous and monstrous with four eyes, alien skin.
I was hundred percent sure he would drop the idea, for sure he won't say a yes to marry me. I tried to take a deep breath and relieve the panic rush.
He dialled and we could listen the ringing. The call was kept on speaker so that his fellow companions could listen to the order.
My heart throbbed fast trembling and tumbling the shackles of my heart.
Now the decision lies on Mafia's Boss.
Will he accept me as his wife? Or I will be rejected for the best, and would be reimbursed with my life.
The road full of twist and turns, love and hate, firm faith and disbelief is not going to end so soon!

*******Life is so unpredictable you can't predict what you are going to face next, yet we had to face everything with courage since some trials we are set against are invincible and can't be avoided.*******"Superintendent of Crime Bureau.""Mr Tristan Jael." The first heading at the top corner of the page is still flashing in front of my eyes.My eyes glanced at his picture dressed in black formal suit he usually wears, what made this picture different and unique was the presence of his brooch with the title I was so shocked to read tugged at the right collar of his coat. What accompanied this brooch was some white coloured stars, the same pride, visible upon his face. Same face, same facial features and attitude. Still my mind denied to recognise the person in front of me in the photograph.My mind could never process this title associated with someone who is a Mafia. How could I believe whatever I was reading, I knew how he
******After year's of drought, finally the rain showered on the dried meadows, rejuvenating everything it touch with new life and new hopes. The new start; new beginnings.******~Selene"I love you." The words from the depth of my heart, flowed through my heart and escaped through my tongue. Even after very well knowing that he is not a good person, knowing that he is not the same Deven I once loved, I can't deny the fact that my heart is affectionate towards him, even after knowing the reality that he is a Mafia, who is engrossed in bloodshed and live a life of a unholy culprit I can't stop my heart which already loved him without thinking or weighting all the arguments against this unconditional love mind was levelling in front of me."How could you love him?" My heart questioned."Knowingly or unknowingly he has hurted you a lot! Isn't it? My mind reasoned, my audicity to love him despite all bad memori
"The grim wide cloud of darkens are also destined to disperse apart giving way to light; the light of truth, the hope of better days.""You already knew that I am Twinkle, you still kept quiet. You remained quiet even after knowing whatever wrong Mariah has done, you didn't say a word to her! Why! Why are you still silent?" I asked while sitting on the top of him, and pillow in my hand still hanging in air, aiming to thrash his face."I feel really insecure this way, at least let me breath and then I would be in a better condition to answer your question." He said smiling, which I least expected.I came through the diary you use to keep every single day, it was kept on your desk. It spoke out all the truth to me. The truth hidden from my eyes since so long, it narrated me all the reality, your pain, your anger, the happenings and disguise of Mariah.I was still blind and not able to see the truth. I still thought that you are trying to make a
****** The love which once felt nonexistent and too dry to feel was now blooming under the showers of rain, the storm has past, and the life begins again. ****** He connoted me as Twinkle, this means he now believe me and knows I was not wrong when I claimed to be his childhood friend. I was not lying when I called myself as Twinkle, his Twinkle. "Twinkle; yes I know everything. I am the stupidest person ever, how was I not able to recognise you." He, held my hand, took me towards the chair, making me comfortable sit on it he sat himself down near me on the ground, rubbing my palm, trying to bring me out of the shock I has faced he spoke in a considerate and loving voice. "I am sorry, atleast talk to me!" He emphasised, pressing my palm and looking at me with puppy eyes. "What look at you, I am still mad at you. What a kind of foolish person you are! What if you would have married Mariah, and I would have married Allen, wha
***** Sometimes the scenes of beautiful greener and calm pictures are just a myriad in the desert and when the reality strikes it strikes really hard, leaving you further more miserable and destroyed. ***** "How could you even say that? Don't you think you are making a very big statement." He spoke in a plain voice, showing no guilt regarding to whatever he was speaking. "I am saying the truth! If you don't remember any of the moments what shall I do!" I sighed in despair. "Irrespective of whether I am pregnant or not, the truth that we spend some time together wherein we were close, really close, physically intimate with each other won't change." "This truth will never change." I cried out. My heart felt like sinking in some pit listening to him. How could he not remember any of the moment he spent on that night together with me. Tears were inconsolably running out of my eyes, draining my cheeks, something insi
"Tristan, ..." Her voice was repeatedly following us, but still he chooses to ignore her calls and kept on walking forward holding my hand. This was something very weird and undigestable for me.What might have caused such a change of heart?"Tristan; Stop... I am talking to you." From her sound her frustration was clearly evident. I don't think anyone ever ignored her like this.At last finally he stopped, ...for some seconds there was silence. Her fervent breath, and lost of happiness and colours from her once pink blushing face was a shocking and miserable sight to see.I am not a sadistic at all; however this scene was giving some happiness to my heart. This girl has done so much bad to me that even my innocent heart no longer feel bad for what is happening with her.Even in college each and every boy was after her, they were mad over her, and she was the one ignoring them. But today what happened was akin to a miracle. I saw how she was ignore
***** Every twilight has it's own morning; now or later but lightness always finds it way. ***** The bad weather and adding to it worst mood of Mr Husband was enough to make anyone anxious and disturb, however as if this was not enough, I felt really hungry. I can't wait staying here listening to this man and stuffing inside me all his weird talks. Thankfully we had reached back home, immediately I stepped out of the car, the drops of rain drizzled at my skin, sparkling and rejenuvating it with freshness. "Hey! What you are doing, you are already ill, and is now playing in the rain like a child. Grow up Selene!" I was not amazed to listen to him, it was Allen, he always ends up instructing me and stopping me from dancing in rains, since childhood not a new concept. However now, things have changed, he no longer holds the authority go speak up in my matters, he has hurt me beyond bounds and has broken my trust, it's hard for me to forget
The weather was sunny and clear in the morning but suddenly it seems to turn all greyish, thundering and dark. As if a second ago it was day and suddenly the dark night arrives. Raining, thundering, the constant splatters of rain on the window, were not good signs, what was looking more dangerous was him, his heated face raging red with anger. He was speeding the act across the street making me breath heavily and my eyes shut off in fear of an invincible accident. "Slow down; .." I spoke with filtering lios, finding it hard to monitor my fast beating heartbeat. "Slow it please, it's dangerous." Clenching to his shoulder, digging my face in his chest, and tucking onto him, I had my eyes tightly closed. Not expecting him to slow down the car, but still my heart find some relief being close to him. I could listen to his fast beating heart, he has a heart which was feeling so alive, and somewhere angry and hurt. "Get away from him." The most
