I wake up, take bath, load my gun. Fix it inside the pocket of my jean. Wear a black cap, black jacket and a black mask. Lock the door of my apartment. Check the surroundings and leave the building. That's all i do in the morning. No breakfast, no water.
Myself Raghu. 25 years old. What do i do? Basically nothing than obeying orders of some well known mafia leaders. Why? Well, i have no idea. Probably just because i need money. A lot of money.
I ride my bike and everyday, visit Shankar das. Its like my daily job. Don't ask me who he is. I also don't know him very well yet. People call him 'boss.' So do i. He seems complicated to me. He calls himself the leader of his mafia gang 'cactus' but i often see him just eating, eating and eating. What is he? A hungry elephant? Who knows.
Its 28 September today, i reacher there and parked my bike in the garage. Then i took my helmet off, just to see some other guys standing in front of me, with guns in their hands. They were staring at me as if i committed a huge crime. At first, they confused me. Then i came to know that boss had increased the security. For what? Who knows.
I lifted my hands up to let them check me. "I'm his person." I said and they checked me without bothering about what i said. They were ignorant. They really were.
Checking me at least three times, they let me go. Not 'let' me go but, dropped me off.
Just in one day, what had happened that the boss did this much. I was confused.
Those two muscular big guys, with their loaded guns, pointed at me. They walked with me till the entrance. They parted their leave from there. Finally i was alone. I let out the sigh i was holding since long.
The door opened and i went in. There were other guys standing alert with their guns in their hands.
I kept walking in, and saw boss sitting on his regular place. On his silver throne. I bowed and greeted him, "I'm here." I said and looked at him.
Shankar das, he is a man in his mid age. Looks like a fatty who sees nothing other than food. But is quite a dangerous person. Always wearing a silver chain, a silver ring, a silver earring and a silver wristwatch clears everyone. He loves silver. And also, food.
Again, he was just eating. But one thing i appreciate about him. He eats everything healthy. Yeah, I've always seen him eating fruits.
"Come come." He said and asked me to take seat beside him, just as usual. I obeyed and sat beside him. "Would you like some?"he asked.
"No. You enjoy. " i said and smiled at hi. He's always been like that. Kind. Or probably just pretending to be kind. Seems like feeding goat before slaughtering him.
"Let's come to point then." He said and i nodded.
"This is the man." He said and asked his man to show the photo to me.
The guard gave me a photo. I took it and flipped it over to see the person.
"This-" i said to myself as i was surprised. The man in the photo was my senior, Ahaan.
"Do i have to kill him?" I asked in hurry after i looked at boss.
He took a bite from his apple and laughed, "No no. Just keep an eye on him."
When i heard him say that, i felt relieved because i didn't want to commit this type of sin. Although me and my senior weren't that close, but still. Killing someone familiar would be kind of scary for me as all the 3 person i killed before were unknown to me.
"Your new journey. All the best. And yeah, one more thing. Be careful around him. He's no joke." Boss said and continued eating.
