Basically, everything these 4 are going to do is controlled by the devil.
And Berry is someone with a mysterious past life, with the ability to give the upper hand, either to the god or the devil.
...
God took his action way earlier.
All the eleven people the devil chose are already coming together in a single place.
And the first person is this girl, who just got a taste of the truth of the human heart.
19 June 2019
"I finally got a boyfriend after so long!! You know Tim, I had a crush on him ever since.... umm ever since when? I don't remember. But I already had a crush on him and today he asked me out. It's still hard to believe. He's so popular. Why would he date me?! Timmy, I am so happy today." Delrina was overflowing with happiness.
Timmy and Delrina are best friends. They are inseparable. Their friendship is so famous if one is walking around alone, random people on the street start asking about the other one. Both of them were sitting in their usual place. It is Timmy's father's cafe.
"Oh, great, what was his name again?" Her voice was normal, but her tone gave off some disappointed vibes, but Delrina was too busy speaking to notice it.
"Ah! Tim, you have been my friend for ages and yet you can't keep my crush's name in your head? It's Spencer." She still had a big smile on her lovely face. Her face was so small and cute that everybody felt an urge to protect her at all costs.
"So you still remember I am your friend?" Tim's voice was cold after hearing it. Her always smiling face vanished into thin air. Her tone was so indifferent. She was disappointed. She went through many troubles all alone just to save Delrina from that guy, but Delrina walked right into the trap on her own, but now Timmy felt no need to feel angry because there's no meaning in it. Delrina won't listen to her anyway.
"What's wrong Tim? Are you okay?" She pretended not to know the reason for her coldness.
"I warned you every single day not to go near him; I tried my best to get you out of his reach, but you kept throwing yourself at him. Do you have even the slightest piece of pride left in yourself?" She said this in a casual tone as if she was talking about some distant relative of hers.
"Why do you have to be like this, Tim? You are the first one I am sharing this news with.."
"Oh! c'mon I was not even bothered by the fact that you had a celebration party with those punks who wander around your 'boyfriend', but now you even have to lie to me? It's still ok but why do you have to date that jerk in the first place? You know exactly what he wants from you. You are aware of how many girls he used and dumped before you. Still, you fall for his fake gestures and stuff. I could have never expected this from you." She initially tried not to lose her temper, but it was hard to digest that Delrina even started lying to her. Tim was at the edge of shouting. Her face was already red.
"What are you being all bossy about? It's my life and I'll live it as I wish. You can't say whatever you want. Tim, I know you are my friend but you still can't use such words for him. You are just jealous of me. I should have understood earlier." Timmy was stunned after hearing this. She knew who the actual owner of these words was.
"O... okay if the things have come to this then I can't help you even if I wanted to. I guess you'll soon be coming back to me. You are still welcome. Please don't get any deeper into it. Tim just murmured some of the words. She was aware of the type of personality Delrina had but today it went overboard. Tim was already on the brink of crying. She looked at Delrina straight in her eyes for a while, as if wanting to say something, but in the end, she just left.
Delrina didn't mean it, but right now, she had no idea what to do. She ran behind Tim, but Tim was already nowhere to be seen. Delrina was on the sidewalk looking around. She kept standing there until a touch on her shoulder started her.
"Hey Del, what are you doing here?" It was a boy with orange-dyed hair. He was wearing a lot of iron accessories and those looked overloaded.
"Nothing.. nothing at all, you guys here?"
"We are going to watch a movie then we'll go karaoke... maybe a little drinks too."
"I... I have a class now." Delrina was not so comfortable with these people.
"Ooh c'mon, you can skip classes for friends, right?" It was a girl standing with her arm over the shoulder of another boy. She had an intimidating aura.
"Your boyfriend is joining us, too. He'll be sad if you don't come. And yes, you are still friends with that hot-headed? She was so rude to us yesterday, she even traduced Spencer. What is she pretending to be? All caring and ugghh?" She made a disgusting face and all of them burst out laughing. Delrina was even more uncomfortable.
"OK, I'll come with you, but only for the movie."
"Yeah, Yeah keep studying and someone will steal your bf. Ok, let's go."
In the end, Delrina was the one who paid. The money she used was from her mother's savings. She paid each time because she wanted to match the standard of his friends. She spent more money in these some days than she would normally spend in 6 months.
These things kept on going this way for like a week. After a week, Delrina was informed that her mother is laying sick in the hospital, and a huge amount of money was required for her treatment. But she was already out of it. She gave Spencer a call.
" Hello, I need your help. Can you lend me some money?"
"Hello? hello? I can't hear what you are saying. Delrina? there's a network problem I guess. I'll call you back soon. Bye..." but he forgot to hang up.
"What a freak. She didn't even spend nicely and now she is asking for money." It was that girl's voice.
"Yeah, I know. I think she is gone broke too. I'll soon find a way to break up with her. Then we'll find a new one."
Delrina heard everything. But she did nothing. She was well aware that she was harvesting what she sowed. But she has no time to act all heartbroken.
She now started looking for a part-time job desperately. Even when she got one that was so low paying to help her mother's treatment expenses. In the end, she gave Tim a call. Timmy had an intention of playing hard but after hearing the story of her mother, she ran over to her. Timmy comforted her. And Delrina finally let out her tears.
Timmy was the one who helped her out. Tim was not so rich, but she did all she could do for her.
Tim's eyes or words showed no disappointment or resentment when Darlina asked for help. She already knew that Darlina was going to suffer, but she had no idea that it can go to this extent. Tim felt sad for her, and she helped her without any hope of getting something in return. Darlina was sorry for her behavior, but she wasn't able to bring herself to say it. Tim was aware of this fact, and nicely knew how good she was at apologies.
After a lot of searching online and offline, Timmy suggested her a job in a close-by town.
"Hey Delrina, I found a job online."
"Are you sure it's not a fake one?"
"Yes, I am sure. It's a job of a server. You can do it, right?"
"Of course I can do it. I'll attract many customers with my looks." Everything was normal between them just in a few hours.
"Hoh! Your looks, those are not too good, my friend." She said mockingly."
"Where is the job?"
"It's at your favorite place."
"Where?"
"Riverside resort of the Sunshine town," Timmy said excitingly.
"Really? How did you find it?"
"I don't know. I just found it. Notification from an unknown number popped up on my whatchat, and they suggested me this job."
"So, you are telling me that you are sending me somewhere out of the station, just on the basis of an unknown helper's suggestion?"
"If it was some random resort, I was not going to believe it. But I gave confirmation call on resort's helpline and they are looking for new staffs with good looks."
"So you agree that I am good looking"
"Yeah, yeah, you won. Now listen, you can join them tomorrow if you want to. And don't worry about aunty. I'll stay with her." Timmy just wanted to say this much, but it felt so serious. "You know she likes me more than she does to you."
"Yes, yes, why not? You want me to leave as soon as possible? Ok then, you hurt my ego. I'll leave tomorrow." Delrina said it in the same tone as Timmy just used.
The very next day, the 26th of June, she went to join her job.
...
She was all determined to help her mom out, unaware of her demise on the way.
Berry quickly closed the curtains and went to the bed. He had a single bed near the window. There was an almirah right in the front corner and a small table under the window. Rest of the room was empty and the door was right in the alternating corner of the almirah. He was laying on the bed and still had those stars shining in his eyes. Soon he fall asleep.He was initially facing the wall, later he turned around half asleep. He caught a glimpse of someone in his room. It was a small kid. The same who stabbed someone in his earlier illusions. He was sitting on the floor with his face in his knees. He looked miserable. Suddenly, the boy heard something. He picked himself up with great difficulty and moved forward. A new face entered Berry's sight. He looked like a guard. He gave that boy a dagger and told him something in an ancient language. Berry had some knowledge of ancient languages and he understood a word or two. And he was sure that this guard was trying to manipulate him. He t
7 July 2020 Another among these 11 people is Hugo, and he is having a hard time financially. "Let me cook today, dear. " Hugo looked lovingly at his wife. "You look differently happy today. You took the kids to the park and now you wanna cook. Any good news?" Mrs. Hugo was satisfied just at the sight of him being happy. "Nothing special. I just feel like cooking today." "Ok, Mr. chef, I would love to taste your cooking every day. I'll enjoy the food sprinkled with your love." "Then wait with the kids outside." "Yes, sir!" Mrs. Hugo was an easygoing, cheerful lady; the reason for him going on till now. But now he just can't bear the sight of his wife working so hard. She always pretended that everything was alright, but he is aware of how alright everything has always been for her ever since she married him. Now he has found a way out of these all difficulties of their life. He decided that he'll just end this miserable life of everyone along with his own. He cooked very delic
"Oh yes, I almost forgot that I am on the ground" Hugo smiled, embarrassed and took his hand.Cook got up and smiled a little at him."Woo, it smells so good. What is it? Let me guess, it smells of qwerty vegetables and Italian type spieces. Wait, is that some new pork recipe?"Everyone was fond of his cooking in the whole town but, till now no one was ever able to describe the ingredients of his dishes even after eating them let alone that this person didn't even look at it. He gave the exact list of the ingredients in just a few seconds."Who are you? What is your profession?" Hugo was not a social person, he had no idea about etiquette, he was just curious about what type of person was standing in front of him.'Wait wait wait, what?! You are asking these things to a stranger you just met? Did you bump your head somewhere?" The stranger asked while taking a closer look."What do you mean?""I mean, This is not the right way you thank someone.""Oh, I was just curious about you beca
Hugo got his passion and life back, and Delrina got a chance to correct her mistake. But is that all? Or is there more than what meets the eye?...Berry carefully heard the sizzling voices for quite a while before finally the light lit. Everything was visible now. Berry was too stunned to do anything when he saw what was happening in front of him. He saw Orion, Zale, Archer, and Liam standing around a tall pillar. They were looking at it with a bit of cautiousness and a lot of excitement. Archer and Liam had bruises on their faces and shoulders. Whereas Orion had a deep cut on his right arm and Zale had a pale complexion.But what shocked him was not this. He saw himself standing along with all of them, scared and about to run away. Berry has no idea "what is going on?" He spoke it out aloud, but no one heard it. He spoke louder, but no one responded. It was more as if they were unable to hear him. Looking closely, he realized that they were not in the forest anymore. The surrounding
Mrs. Otto just cried in her mother's arms for a while until his father took them both inside the house. They all sat in the living room silently for a while. Her mother, Clara, finally dared to ask once more. She is sad for her daughter. How did someone so gorgeous turn into something like her? It's been years since they saw each other. Clara clearly remembers the face people didn't get tired of looking at. But unless she tells them what is wrong, how can they possibly help her?Nora just shook her head in a no. She kept staring at the walls of the house.'How happy I used to be when I was here. I left my parents alone for such a long time just for someone who doesn't even care about me, even when I am the only one alive who they can depend upon. Now I will spend the rest of my life with my parents, taking care of them. I don't need anyone to feed me.' Nora thought to herself and slowly her gloomy face gained a small smile.She smiled at her parents."Your daughter is finally back." S
...Berry's story was true to some extent, but there were so many made-up tales added to it by his ancestors...."You should stop now. You are supposed to be the role model for our empire; if you believe in such dark superstitions, what will happen to our countrymen?" The queen was fed up with the King now.First, he made her move out of the palace to an isolated place, where she had to suffer even for daily necessities. She is not a greedy or luxury-loving person, but still, the problems she is going through don't even make sense. Why does she need to be away from the palace? It's not like the king was cheating on her. If it was so, then still she could still have tolerated her suffering, thinking of them as her fate.It was still adjustable, but that was not the only reason for her anger. She just recently found out that the king was going crazy for eternal life. She tried to talk sense in him, but all in vain.Now she understood the saying of never-ending greed. The king has every
"What is it supposed to mean, dear?" King said sarcastically."I... I mean that, yeah, I mean that I was shocked to see my handsome husband's face for the first time. But honestly, can't you smile a little? Your smile looks so good.""Oh, ok." It is the first time he has ever heard someone asking him to smile. Everybody just expected him to be excellent all the time, even if it cost him his happiness."What do you mean, for the first time? Didn't we see each other on our marriage day?""Waa!! Don't you feel a bit embarrassed saying this? You only saw me once, that too on our marriage day. How did you even manage to look at me that day? I am impressed. How long it's been since our marriage?""H...h.how long it has been? I... I know, I certainly do know. But I think I forgot because of the fall. Yeah, that's the reason I forgot. It's just because of it.""You don't need to overwork your small, tiny, little, child-like brain to think of excuses. It's been 7 months." She smiled at him aga
...Berry saw himself in a whole new scene now.He saw a familiar face in front of him. It is the person he once saw being stabbed in his illusions. He saw himself in a familiar place as well. It is the prison room he saw in another illusion.That person was slowly walking towards him. He had a sweet smile on his face. He was saying something; he was talking to Berry. Berry tried to understand but suddenly a lot of scenes started playing in his head. Deaths, cries, and wars. Sufferings and hunger, he suddenly felt an adrenaline rush.The person was still saying something with the same smile. Barry understood nothing, he just noticed that there was a dagger in his hand. He looked at the person standing in front of him. He wanted to kill him. The scenes in his head were getting fiercer. He tried to control himself, but the more that person smiled, the more angry and hollow he felt deep inside.In the end, he wasn't able to control himself. He just stabbed him. The dagger went straight i
