"What are you even saying. I don't understand you.""Stop fooling yourself because I know everything. I know how you went to my house and stole my son and now you're calling him Mani instead of Manu."he said coldly."T-this means my Manu got missing."I breathed. "But who could have done so, Mike was the only one who was after their lives but he isn't alive anymore. I killed him with my own hands in cold blood, could it be possible that he came back to life and he's now taking his revenge? But no, he can't come back since I killed him with the sword that was dipped in the serpent's venom first."I breathed in realization. "What if Miss Cucu got him kidnapped and maybe harmed him out of anger that she couldn't be with Anu? No, she isn't capable of doing such a thing. Then who could take him away and why."I was losing it that I didn't even realize that I had grabbed Anu's shirt's collar as I threatened " if I fail to find my son, you'll face the other side of me which is the motherly sid
I just wanted to let it go but as I was planning to, I happened to overhear their conversation where mother-in-law stated that "I really want Artie out of my son's life for good, that's why am helping you. I just hope everything goes well as per our plan. I don't want anything to go wrong like last time."she said."Last time? What is she trying to mean? What's that 'last time' that she's talking about?"I wondered."Are you threatening me or something? Let me remind you that I know the big secret of yours that you're hiding from your son"the lady threatened."Unbelievable. They're behaving like kids. One hour as good friends and enemies in the next hour. But what's the secret she was talking about? And why did mother look scared when the lady talked about it?"I asked myself. I had to leave since I didn't want them to notice that I was there too.I didn't know why I was sweating so much. Their words kept summoning to my mind. "What secret does Anu's fiance mean? I have to find out about
I started to get worried about Mani when night came and he hadn't returned home yet. "What's taking him so long to come back?"I worried. Everybody had his dinner and went to sleep, others gathered outside as usual to have fun and enjoy their drinks with some dance. I walked back and forth waiting for my son to come but in vain. Still wondering what could have happened to him I saw Anu coming towards me. I knew he would ask for his son so I had to save myself not to let him come close to me. "I should run to my room."I thought and so I did. Reaching in my room I switched off the lights and pretended to be sleeping. Meanwhile Anu started to look for me the moment I disappeared from his sight. "Where did she go and why did she run away? Something's not right."he thought. Walking around looking at everyone's face, he didn't see me.After some time I heard a knock on the door. "Who's it?" I asked. My heart was telling me it was my son Mani while my mind said something else, it was tellin
"I only came to save you and now that father's gone, I will go to gather enough proof."he said."We're very late because the wedding is tomorrow.""Don't worry mother, Manu and I will do our best to stop it from happening that I promise you."he assured me."Thanks my dear."I embraced him with a hug.Morning came with beautiful sounds of the singing birds from the jungle and a heart thrilling scent from the flower garden.My heart skipped a beat when I realized that it was indeed morning. "Oh Lord, please don't take Anu away from me and his child. Give me the courage to tell him the truth about his parents and don't let anything stop Mani from coming. It's very important for him to get here on time."I prayed.( A knock on the door), "who's it?"I asked."It's me."a familiar voice replied. It was Cucu's."What brought you here?"I asked."Will you let me in or I should force myself in?"she mocked.I didn't want to create problems for myself so I got the door for her."Why did you come her
"What are you saying? How could I do something like this?"he asked."But you've done it. Are you trying to say that I called you from your room and brought you here? I guess Agie knows what really happened, you can ask her. Agie dear, tell your husband what you just saw. Tell us dear...""Don't pretend as if you were out of your mind Anu. It's obvious that you don't love me but you shouldn't have betrayed me like this on my wedding day. I mean... how could you?"she said crying."Are you blaming me for what happened too? Don't you trust me?"Anu looked defeated."Of course she doesn't because someone who trusts you would never think of questioning you and here she's doing so, do you want some more proof for that?"I intervened. "It's all your fault. You have crossed your limits today, you've made me realize that marrying you was a huge mistake I have ever made. Am the one who brought you to this house but today, right this moment, am ousting you from this house and my life as well. Am br
**ANU** 😢"What! There's a whole lot of things that I would forgive but I just can't take a liar. I just hate it when someone tries to stab me in the back.. I hate it.. Father.. how... I could you do that to me? Why father why?? I brought my son to you thinking that you looked up at him as your own, I thought that you would shower him with all of your love and that you'll keep him safe in my absence.. but you... you just prayed that I should leave so you could kill him. I always fought the world for the two of you, I treated you like heaven by making you my first priority. I could kill whoever said ill about you. I always thought that you wish me good but I was wrong.. you people never cared about me. At least you should've killed me instead of my son. You didn't just kill him, you killed me too. I can't live after this betrayal. Imagine killing my son, my own flesh and blood just for powers. Did I ever ask you for extra powers? Can't humans become leaders despite having no powers?
"Anu please, she's your mother."I reminded him."Let's go from here."he said grabbing Mani's hand.."follow me."he added."Hold on a second."Katie stopped him from leaving. "What is it now, if you're going to ask me to stay, you better keep your opinions to yourself because I won't listen to what you have to say."he said looking nervous."I won't ask you to stay because I also don't want you to stay with these people anymore. They've hurt you enough but not anymore.Actually I wanted to give you this. It will protect you from any danger."she said tying the black threads on their ankles. "How about me Katie?"I asked with a questioning look."You can take care of yourself."she said."I guess you've forgotten that Anu is more powerful than me currently."I pointed."Enough! Shut up Artie!"he yelled all of a sudden. "What's the matter Anu?"I asked worriedly."No one should talk about my useless powers... it's because of these extra powers that I lost my son, my Manu was killed in exchange f
I had to get back to Anu at any cost. Luck was on my side that night because I came up with a brilliant idea of leaving my shadow behind with them and indeed it worked for me."I just hope Anu isn't asleep yet."I thought on getting into the room. "What took you so long to come back.. didn't you know I was waiting for you? Why do you like making me wait?"he was angry."Don't tell me you're angry with me now, are you?""Why not. I mean why wouldn't I be angry with you, you lied to me that you wouldn't take long but look now.. you've spent the whole night there. It's obvious that you don't want me to touch you tonight that's why you spent a lot of time in Mani's room, am I right about that?""You're very wrong about this love. Actually Katie and mom wanted me to keep them company that's why.""Hey, stop giving me explainations.. I was joking with you. You know I can't be angry with you my love."he broke in laughters."Really? You mean you aren't mad at me for making you wait?""I can wai
