chap-17 -the beast

He sat on other side of cafe, watching his prey with sharp eyes. He had menu out in front of him, hiding his most of face. He was undetectable but people still felt his presence except him

Ved. He evoked a beast in Aryan thats been suppressed since he was teenager. Aryan had violent streak to him nobody knew nobody.

His dark side. He was seeting with anger, he watched his prey pay the bill and leave. He followed him, he wanted him alone.

He made sure he did not get notice. When he finally got a chance-he travelling to wooded area he drove his bicycle and stopped infront of his car.

Ved put his head out window "Idiot want to get killed" Aryan didn't respond hiding behind the helmet.

It irked Ved more so he got out and went to teach the bike guy a lesson.

Ved hold him by his neck as soon as neared him and punched him. He fell on the ground, Aryan straddled remove his helmet.

Ved eyes went wide "Wha.." before he utters he got punched again. He kept punching until he heard couple of ribs break. Blood was spilling out of his mouth but Aryan did not stop.

His face was bloodied. Aryan got up and took a metal chain, he took Ved by his hair and dragged him into the bushes. He screamed but there will be nobody to hear him.

Aryan was blinded by rage at the moment. He wasn't the same Aru- reserved, compassionate,caring and above the most-a public servent.

He is going against everything he was taught. He should be given to police and let them take care of him . But no, Aryan knew

he would get out within few years but the hurt he had given to his heart-Imlie that would remain for life. The scars will remain for life.

he dragged him and tied him around neck with the chain and hanged him on the tree. He removed a small bottle from his pocket opened it and threw on his face.

Ved was now screaming for his life, Aryan closed his eyes and listened to him scream as if it was music to his ears.

The dark side nobody seen or heard. He opened his eyes when the screams died out his breathing labored and finally death came to him.

Aryan spat on the ground and left not regretting , he deserves this for doing the unthinkable to his life-his wife.

He went home, cleaned himself and went to hospital. His wife is in medical induced coma.

**Flashback**

Imlie when she woke up , she started screaming and bawling her eyes. The pain was unbearable. She screamed Aru's name.

Luckily, when police checked her background-they found out she is the wife of an ATS officer.

They called the number found on Imlie's phone and informed him. When Aryan heard , the screams in background Aru was frozen.

After the call was cut, he had started throwing things in the hotel room, Raja hearing the noise came and tried to stop him.

He wept "Why !?" "I need to go to her please , right now Raja. Please take care of this mission." he wiped his eyes and booked the next flight available.

When he had arrived, the doctor had informed him about the damage.

Her hands were 80 percent burned,10 percent in the chest area and 5 percent of face-Her face lucky she was her right cheek as half burned thats the damage there.

Aryan couldn't control his tears, the pain she must be in he wants to be with her right away "We had to induced her into coma, she was becoming hysterical, screaming in pain. That should keep her in this state,

until she can bear the pain when she wakes up. I would suggest skin draft surgery but first she needs to recover mentally" He patted his Aryan shoulder symphatically.

"Take care of her" And the doctor left. He went to Imlie, he assesed her-the tears fell on her hand. Aryan took Imlie's hand and sat on the chair just staring at her.

"I promise you , i won't leave him"he whispered. He kissed her cheeks, he needed to hold her. He moved Imlie a little, made a tiny space enough for him to hug her.

HE stayed with her whole night cuddling her sideways and staring at her. Next day when he woke up, he started following Ved.

Somehow in his guts he knew the that Ved is behind this.

**Flashback ends**

Police was called to that wooded area by passerby who noticed a abandoned car in middle of the road.

They found the body in bushes. Bloodied with acid all over his body. It was a gruesome sight.
