Aperion stood infront of the dark door both side soldiers stood holding the spear tightly with their fermist grip over the web metal handle handle for their lord.
While from inside the room the screams of dead maria came echoing even beyond the door in that hallway striking the tip of spear.
As profiyans prayed infront " lord may lead you to heaven we will make every blood fall on his feet of your to bless you by his hands " their chants collided back as they continued " we wish you to die in the same place cause on the land of living and death you still need to suffer but every suffering is far greater in hell " aperion heard the chants and asked to one profiyan in low growled voice extending one his metal armed embedded with patterns scrapped on that thick strong metal arm of history " what you mean death is greater in land of living and death that hell? Mind with words you rascal " as the profiyan looked at his lord closed his hand got his knees cryed hardly "lord pls forgive me for my sin...but every word is been casted for eons I can't change it "
Aperion looked at him gripping tight his metal grip and said to everyone in that dark hallway " stop your chanting!! I am not dead I can still stand for my people for my family I will deal with my bastard daughter everyone stand back " every soldier took their step back as profiyans slides back in the armed soldier.
Aperion took a look back tapping his cold metal stick down on land moved closer to the gate as he knocked on the door and called her daughter in a low voice " Maria are you there darling...open the door I am you father please hear me out I love you " the screams from behind the door were went cold silent the time profiyans stopped praying but in that cold minute two taps came from behind the door for aperion.
With a soft voice " you know the truth father...yet why you presiste over complication in our relationship " the old rusted aperion gripped his knuckle tight and growled " presiste I don't...I make guarantees." He struck the door with his metal arm shaking the whole castle walls as the dust dripped down the ceiling the whole army went chill from their bomes looking at their king in state where anyone thing he is done for life shock the whole castle. Everyone drank their saliva while few whispered " this old gizzed man is off 238 years yet he is doing even god can't " aperion threw dozen of punches at the door yet it just shock the thick wood.before aperion stopped the door cracked.
From behind maria whispered " I am opening it father only...for you any other who trys to entre will die by my hand " as the door slightly open only for one men aperion took his step deep in that room while whole army stood behind him their spear pointed at the door. As the slam shut infront of them.
At the lonely bus station
Arush sat holding a leather back around him. Around him was green grown field of long grasses. Sun was going down slowly turing the whole sky orange while arush sat on that cold bench alone. Looking down on the ground mumered " know where indra you're taking me " as a voice echoed beside him " somewhere " indra sat near him looking straight into arush eyes. His aura of warmth could felt a mile away yet arush didn't felt him.
As arush asked " so what know...how will you torture me " indra didn't answered he smiled looking at the sky as the dark clouds were taking over the flash sky small drops of rain start to fall from the sky meeting the land in silence. The fluke was the cold wind brushing around arush face like heaven in his own mind. Arush whispered " trying to manipulate or seduce me with the beauty or brutality" indra answered him back " seduce the dead "
Arush pupils glew crmison elongated as he whispered " dead what-what are you talking about " as indra went silent looking at the left of him. A old bus was approaching in that rain sunset plate number was KP 45 GH 7890 an old indian bus red in colour with the old black tiers stopping infront of arush and indra . The door opened a cold breathe of wind ran through arush feet as indra gestured with his hand to arush to get in the bus.
Arush lonely fallen in the prey didn't tryed to resist . In a soft sight at the road he stood up from the cold bench leaving the leather bag behind at the bench . Getting in bus as he looked at the driver seat a guy sitting there faceless while the whole bus was empty he took few heavy steps sitting behind in the last seat behind the long lasted seat. Indra stood out whispered " foolish as I thought lord...forgot his bag " as he held the leather bag taking step in the bus moved with the firm step forwarding his hand holding the bag to arush .
Arush looked at the indra into his deep widening eyes and asked " new trick " indra chuckled and said "does it matter to you " arush smiled at him taking the bag out of his hand as both the sun and lighting meet by the single handle something deep within both felt uneasy as arush was the first one to reach back his position sitting down at seat holding the back near his chest starring back at indra. while indra he didn't moved he stood their in silence. Until the warning bell rang giving a call for indra to leave the bus as indra left in silence his feet felt heavy while he mumered getting down from the bus.
Arush starred outside the window for a while as the bus took the initial geek before the tiers start to spin all around leaving the stop behind at speed of 40 km/hr for the great. The cold breeze brushed away arush face every second from that open day as he whispered gripping his knuckle tight " oh my god is this actually heaven " nobody answered back. The small rain drops reaching down on the glass while the green fields around that concrete road with the dense dark sky.
Arush asked in silence " man need some songs here it's kind a lonely " as the radio of the bus hizzed a second before the song start to play on the radio " bajan dil ko tera ishk na zinda kiya ha...dil a jan na paya tera kudhgarzi isma mili ha...aaaaaa" the instrument struck ever second sitra with the tabla "to luta gya tera mohbata ma...tadap tadap ka ise dil ko saza diya " again the drums struck with a low intensity "ajab ha ye ishka...kab teri ishka ma jali to kabhi ishka ma luta gya " the sitra string pulled. Arush looked at the speaker seat at hm 189 at the bar hearing the voice of the dead singer he whispered " manisha tamya ". The lyrics " sihsa ka dil kyo diya mujhe ja dena thi jval niglana tha ra...tadap ka roi Ham tadp ka roi "
Arush hands went numb before he return the his glorious silent view outside the window the music played behind his back like the people were standing actual behind him. Arush rembered a face he never asked in a low silence " sanvi where are you ?" As she never left his heart it pounded in him like a emotion was mixed with blood. In the silence of his mind he leaned back as the bus slowed a little dropping from the 40 to 38 something moved within the bushes far away as the music turned higher " cha to mujhe paka daka Pera tera safar ha manzil sa bhi khubsurat " arush looked out closing his eyes thinner as the bushes moved aside automatically a tiger lunched at the bus gripping the cold metal tight . Arush moved behind to other side holding the bar of seat tight as the tiger looked at arush roared.
The bus moved in silence.
