It was a chill night.
The street was deserted. In the end, there was a house in which one room was lit. That meant someone was inside, according to Navario.
"So, how many stabs this time?" asked Hector, the partner of Navario.
"Knife is new. So, you want me to count?" asked Navario.
Navario and Hector do a business called KILL AND STEAL. It has become their style and passion. Killing is a passion? Yep.
"But, Navario" asked Hector, "we have killed nearly ten people. All were men. What would you if it was a woman this time?" . They got closer to that house.
"I don't look for gender, when I eat fish, Hec." said Navario, " Eyes on jewels. Not on those who wears it."
Hector sighed. "Looks like a rich house eh? Let's conquer." said Hector.
Entering the house was a cinch to them. They were lucky as there wasn't a dog to safeguard. Or else, they would have made their knife bloodstained before stabbing the owner.
"Shh!" warned Navario. They glanced at the top floor. They caught a view of the fan of the room swirling. "Time for the new knife" whispered Hector.
"The door is...unlocked" said Hector," is the person living inside mad?"
"Maybe, "Come in if you dare" kinda indication?" asked Navario.
"Let's go. Whatever it takes" said Hector.
"Stop copying others' dialogues" said Navario. Hector sighed and they entered the house.
It was a tiny porch and they found a staircase leading to the top floor.
"Listen" said Navario, "Wander around. Take whatever you see. Let me go upstairs and deal with the one up there."
"If it's a girl, don't let her dominate you" said Hector and he began his hunt.
"Uh, uh" said Navario and he went up.
As the distance between the door and him got reduced, Navario could hear cries. And it was from a lady.
He entered the room. He found a lady sitting opposite to a mirror. Navario saw his reflection too. And, he found a knife in the hands of the lady. And, before that, he saw her face. That face...
"Abilisha..." Navario said.
"Nav..." Abilisha said.
They both stared at each other as they were schoolmates.
"Move away!" said Abilisha. "Don't come to me" she warned.
"No.. no! I'm not a killer" pleaded Navario. "Throw your knife away"
"Goodbye, cruel world" said Abilisha as she placed the knife on her neck
"No...I wanna tell you one, Abi. Please...drop it" pleaded Navario.
"Abilisha...I loved you." said Navario. He dropped his new knife down.
Abilisha, who was holding a knife closer to her neck, stood still.
"What did you just say?" she asked.
"It was unknown...to many, including you." Navario said, " Please, put it down. Let's talk."
Abilisha thought for few seconds and surprisingly, she put her knife down. She wiped off her tears. "Why are you here?" she asked.
"I've turned evil." Navario said, "I kill people".
That didn't frighten Abilisha but she was concerned. "Why? You are a talented guy..." she said.
"I was", Navario said, "and then, everyone left me, including you."
Abilisha didn't know what to say. She should be dead by this time. But, Navario came to her save. And, she realized that even Navario could have killed her. Navario's love towards her protected her from death. Will she fall in love with Navario?
"One minute" said Navario as he went out and called Hector. He almost forgot his partner.
"Yeah,man" said Hector, "Done?"
"No...you leave this place. Let me explain you later."
Hector didn't seem to be satisfied but he left the place.
Navario went in and found Abilisha sitting on her bed.
"Come, sit" she said.
"No, I shall stand." he said.
"Won't you sit closer to your beloved one?" she asked.
"Okay" Navario said as he sat beside Abilisha.
Abilisha rested her hands on Navario's. He looked nervous.
"What made you cry?" he asked.
Abilisha smiled. "I was broken." she replied.
"All are" Navario replied. " We break to reform stronger."
"Haha, the same Navario who I saw in my school days." Abilisha said.
"I didn't change, though" Navario said, "Anyways, thanks for remembering me and our school days."
"Why don't you see my face while speaking? Still hating me, eh?" Abilisha said.
"Still loving you." Navario replied.
Abilisha stood and moved towards the mirror. "I'm in no shape to love you back. I should have died now. Anyways, I will be killed"
"No, I threw away the idea of killing, Abilisha. Don't think I will stab you." said Navario.
"Even if you don't, some will." said Abilisha.
That part looked misty to Navario. Some will? Did she mean someone is gonna kill her?
"Hey, what do you mean?" asked Navario. Within a second, there was a gunshot. A man screamed in pain. Navario recognized the voice at once. It was Hector. "Oh, no" he went closer to the window and got a glance of what's happening outside.
A man stood with a gun in his hands. His face was hidden as he wore a mask. Hector was laying still with a bullet in his forehead. Navario couldn't believe the fact that his friend was dead. Killed, to be brief.
"It's him" Abilisha said. "Escape, Nav. You did much to me."
Navario stood confused. Will he leave his school lover in danger?
Instead he laughed. "Don't forget the fact that...I am a killer" he said as he picked the knife from the floor. "Who's that guy?" he asked.
The man with the gun looked around to see whether someone's coming.
"Say fast" Navario urged.
Abilisha took a deep breath and said, "He...was my boyfriend.He is Greyson."
"BOYFRIEND"...that made Navario choke and "WAS my boyfriend" made him back to normal.
"What's the affair? Be quick..." he insisted. In any time, her boyfriend would be here.
"He cheated on me...and he made me mentally depressed. And so, I was about to die." she admitted.
Navario let out a deep breath and said, "I thought you were for me...but yeah, shit happens, that is life. Anyways, you matter the more to me." he said as he hid himself behind the door. In an instant, the man with the gun appeared and Navario heard him saying, " Got the money? I don't want it. Come with me"
"No...you are a liar!" Abilisha yelled. "You spoiled my life! I believed you...and what did it cost? Only tears. Get away!"
Navario didn't know what to do. He played a quick recap in his mind. He is a killer and a robber. He kills people for jewels. He came here with Hector. He met up with his childhood crush whom he loves yet. He found her attempting to die. Saves her. Loses his friend. Now, he is gonna attack a man with a gun who is gonna kill Abilisha, the girl who didn't even think about Navario and chose the wrong man. Why should he save a girl who didn't even like him?
Navario reacted quickly by revealing himself to Greyson and quickly he kicked his hands and his gun flew away. Navario got hold of the man's hands and stood behind him. The man was taken back and couldn't fight back.
"Come on!" Navario said, "Use the knife to kill him. He's all yours."
Abilisha reacted soon by picking the new knife of Navario and approached them.
"You tortured me..." said Abilisha. "You made me cry...if not you, Navario would have made me smile." Those words made Navario feel glad.
"NO!" said Greyson.
Abilisha brought the knife closer and when she was about to insert the knife into the heart of Greyson, he ducked himself. And, Abilisha inserted the knife into Navario's chest. Heart Stabber.
She covered her mouth in shock and Greyson got freed from Navario's hold and slapped Abilisha to down. Navario stood still with the knife of his beloved one in his chest. Should he face more than this for his beloved one?
"Please leave us!" pleaded Abilisha.
"Who's this guy,eh? Got a new one after putting me in trash?" Greyson said.
"Leave her" said Navario. He glared at Greyson. He took the knife from his chest. The knife which he thought of stabbing got stabbed in his own chest.
He caught hold of the knife in his hands with blood leaking from his body.
"She is of no use, dude. She isn't beautiful, even." said Greyson.
Navario attacked Greyson like a bull and inserted the knife into his stomach and did it thrice.
"What did you just say?" Navario said, " No use? She is my angel" and inserted the knife straight into the neck of Greyson.
Greyson fell down and he was dead. Navario said, "My dear Hector! four stabs buddy! And I sent the man to you, enjoy"
"I'm sorry,Navario" Abilisha said as she wept.
"Hey hey, girls usually do that. No problem." said Navario.
"I didn't mean to..." said Abilisha.
"Shh! Be wise to select your partner. Adieu!" said Navario as he stood and walked away.
Abilisha stood there, crying. She ran towards Navario and hugged him. "You are mine." And, she kissed him.
