On the next morning, Karin knocked at Keith's door, Keith looked at the time, it still wasn't 7AM, the time he had to wake up to drop Halaya to University, so he ignored the knocking.

Incomplete Confession
It was a full moon night, everything was dimly lit by beautiful moonlight.. Wind was blowing heavily, waving Halaya's hair, flowing through the air.. Keith was standing still, in front of her, his hair moving swiftly along with wind, holding a bat in his hand, staring at Halaya with his blue piercing eyes.. Halaya was on her knees, tears falling from her eyes.. Her lips trembling.. She wanted to say so many things.. But no, it was a perfect moment for everything to just end.. There could be no beautiful end than this.. Sky was clear and starry.. Keith threw a gun towards Halaya which fell in front of her, a little distance away where her hand could reach easily.. "I just want to show you something.. If after seeing that.. You think I'm wrong.. You can kill me..with this gun" said Keith in a rigidly stiff tone. Halaya nodded.. Keith then opened his mobile screen and gave his phone to her, there she saw how Smith was standing on top of same isolated building, holding a bat in his hand.

Halaya kept on walking away from there, swiftly walking through the people.. Keith was following her, "Halaya! Stop! Listen!" shouted Keith in annoyingly loud tone. On reaching near the entrance gate, Halaya stopped there, as Keith now turned her towards him, he noticed that her eyes were turned red and full of tears.. Her cheeks red.. Her ears red.. "What's wrong with you?" said Keith, looking at her with wrinkles on his forehead. He was surprised to see how Halaya was getting this much seriously uncomfortable there. "I don't like the environment there.. I want to go back!" shouted Halaya in displeasing loud tone. Keith loved it.. He had seen such a girl for the first time in his life.. He lost all his feelings of irritation as he had now seen how much Halaya was seriously uncomfortable in that environment. "Go back where? We can't go back to that house now.. Grahams might be keeping an eye on that.." said Keith in a calmly firm tone. "Then I want to go to Raymond's apartment!" said

During their breakfast, Keith turned on the TV to watch the news updates. It was being shown how Keith murdered Natora Graham on the stage by twitching her neck during dance performance. Headings were going on like, "Keith's another Murder", "Keith, the tormenting devil", and so on. Most of the famous journalists belonging to different Elite families, were raising questions on this act of Keith, as it didn't look like avenging any victim.

Don't Let me Down
"Sir... Don't you think that we should've asked him why and how he did it... instead of questions you were asking..." asked Rim, frowning.

Halaya decided at that moment, to never take any money from Keith, for any of her needs. She decided to do job and earn her own money and to pay for her own expenses.. There was a long gap of silence. "Don't make that face now... I didn't ask you to pay me back by doing any such thing.. I just said that I could've done that if I wanted to.." said Keith, trying to cool down the intense situation that had been created. Halaya didn't say a word.. She didn't want to talk to him anymore... "We are going to some amusement park today.. Just as we decided before going to hotel" said Keith, again trying to provoke her to speak. But she still didn't say a word. "You'll feel good there, it has been a lot of days since you've been at home, it'll have refreshing effect on your mind" said Keith, smilingly. But Halaya's face and eyes were rigidly stiff, and she kept quiet after everything Keith kept on saying at that time. Keith had realized that whatever he said was not appropriate... He actually d
