shadow's friend had left the room, and he slowly stood up, making his way to the bench to sleep. As he lay down, memories flooded back to him—memories of when he was a five-year-old boy, holding his sister's hand as they ran through a vibrant flower field, laughter echoing in the air.
"Shivam," his sister said softly, her face tinged with sadness, "this world is more dangerous than I thought. You're just a small, innocent child who doesn't know anything."
Shivam looked at her, confusion etched on his young face. His sister chuckled at his expression, and he replied, "Sis... I will protect you no matter what." He rested his head on her lap, looking up at her with wide, trusting eyes. "Can you sing me a song?"
"Of course," she said with a gentle smile. "This song is called 'Fallen Angel to Hell.' Don't forget it, okay?"
Shivam beamed. "I will!"
His sister began to sing with a soft, melodic voice:
Fallen Angel to Hell
(Verse 1)
An angel from the sky, fallen to the earth,
A mother carries away, from the bottom of the heart.
A father hugs his child; she doesn't have a feeling,
An uncle with cursed eyes, came from hell, revealing.
(Chorus)
Kills the family because of the angel,
With lustful eyes, he became a devil.
I have fallen from heaven and landed in hell,
I can't be saved, I can't even talk, I can't even tell.
(Verse 2)
My life is lost; I can't face it alone,
There is nothing I can do, nowhere to call home.
In shadows I wander, searching for light,
But darkness surrounds me, consuming the night.
(Chorus)
Kills the family because of the angel,
With lustful eyes, he became a devil.
I have fallen from heaven and landed in hell,
I can't be saved, I can't even talk, I can't even tell.
(Bridge)
Oh, hear my cries, as I call out in vain,
A heart full of sorrow, a soul filled with pain.
Once a bright angel, now lost in despair,
Searching for solace, but finding none there.
(Chorus)
Kills the family because of the angel,
With lustful eyes, he became a devil.
I have fallen from heaven and landed in hell,
I can't be saved, I can't even talk, I can't even tell.
(Outro)
An angel from the sky, fallen to the earth,
A story of sorrow, a tale of lost worth.
In the depths of my heart, I still long to be free,
But the chains of my past are all that I see.
Shivam looked up at his sister, his eyes wide with concern. "Sis... is that angel okay now?"
"Yes," she replied, her smile returning. "She's okay now because she found a cute boy to protect her."
Shivam laughed, and his sister joined in, their laughter mingling with the gentle breeze. As the song ended, Shivam slowly drifted off to sleep, resting peacefully in his sister's lap.
Present Day
The jailer approached, breaking the reverie. "Hey, the media is here to meet you. Let's go."
Shadow followed the guard and sat in front of the media, addressing the cameras. "Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. How are you all? I hope you're doing well. I will answer the questions you have, but first, I have a story to tell—a real story that you need to hear."
"What happened that day? Why did I have to kill all those people? The truth that everyone has been waiting for."
"I am a normal person, just like you. I had a sister whom I loved dearly. But one day, she was found dead. I asked the police, and they told me she committed suicide because someone she liked rejected her. But I started investigating, and the truth was far more horrific—she was raped and murdered by a criminal named Roy, who was protected by powerful people."
Shadow's voice trembled with emotion as he continued, "I went to jail and killed him. Before he died, he told me, 'I am not the one who killed your sister; it was eight others who did that.'"
The viewers watching the live broadcast were left in shock, discomfort washing over them. Shadow's gaze hardened as he declared, "You all think this state is safe for you, but do you know who ordered the killing of my sister? It was your beloved chief, the health and education minister—shortly put, IT WAS YOUR CM! YOUR GODDAMNED CM!"
The weight of his words hung heavy in the air, a chilling reminder of the darkness that lurked beneath the surface of their seemingly safe world.
