AJIN had some time because of the parties and had time to relax a bit. But now he should refocus on the mission.
About the mission... about ANYA... about TUL and SARSWAT...!!!
But his mind just keeps rewinding back to when TUL came between ANYA and him. How his pink plump heart shaped lips touched his, all those shivers . The way he swayed along. It felt awesome.
But Now he needs to focus on solving the case and find out the truth about TUL. What or who he really is? A cursed spirit? Or is he really the so-called 'Enigma'.
If he is Enigma...he's ought to be really powerful. But the man who made him sandwiches and the man who was so soft with ANYA when she was drunk cannot be... AJIN cannot accept it.
All those thousand questions running in his mind about TUL were driving him crazy.
The urge to know all the answers ,and he knew only one man can answer all of these. KORN/his boss.
So after some thoughts, he left for GORYA'S cafe.
He pulled up in the drive way and went inside. The cafe was fairly empty both GORYA and FA were not in the counter too...
He rung the counter bell thrice when FA and GORYA came from the bathroom. Both of their lips were swollen and FA'S clothes were rather a mess like someone was trying to tear them off.
AJIN gave them both side eyes. GORYA'S eyes told him not to ask so he directly came to the point
"Is boss here.. right now?"
"Well, yea and he also has a visitor." GORYA opened the counter door for AJIN to get inside the kitchen.
He frowned at her. His boss never had visitors. But she just shrugged.
AJIN approached the secret door but didn't open it. He could hear a faint voices talking but not clearly...
He stayed outside and signed for GORYA and FA to stay quite behind him. He revealed his right arm's tattoo and muttered a mantra and then suddenly the faint voices became clear.
"But does he know?" said his boss.
"I don't think so.." said the another voice. AJIN froze as soon as he heard that voice, he could feel the pupils of his eyes mis-shaping.
It's his father's voice!?? here? How does he know his boss?
"Last night was amazing wasn't it." Said TONY, AJIN'S father
"You said you knew where TUL is! NOW TELL ME." KORN sounded furious.
"Ask me nicely"
"Aghh! What do you want from me!!?"
"Like you don't know"
"WHAT!"
"Love"
His boss didn't reply.
"Don't you remember how much I loved you, I sacrificed my wife for you so that your dream can come true and because of you My wife left me! She ran away, I had to lie to my son that she is dead ...and what I get in return is loneliness, you left me too, you never loved me. You were with me because of your fucking benefits, you used me ASSHOLE!"
"I never thought it was love, I always thought that you were obsessed with me>"
"Maybe I was-"
"You. Told. Me. You. Know. Where. My. Son. Is." KORN sounded full of rage.
"I know but-" TONY continued.
"I DONT HAVE TIME FOR YOUR EMOTIONAL SHIT! TELL ME WHERE MY SON IS AND FUCK OFF!!" KORN busted and AJIN felt that his father's life was at verge, cause KORN was spitting murder.
"He has been spotted lately" TONY said coldly.
"Where?" KORN sounded a bit desperate but equally cold.
"Do you know that girl ANYA? She is quite famous nowadays." He said casually.
"Yes. I know her, in fact your SON'S current job is to take information out of her." KORN deadpans.
"I knew she was somehow related cause TUL and her were very close back then. I'll have to kidnap her now. Great."
AJIN'S eye widened. He must leave at once and alarm ANYA about this but if he does that he could lose important information that is FREAKING FATHER AND HIS BOSS might talk about.
"It's not that easy, she is very famous and there are tons of bodyguard around her." TONY says.
"It's a piece of work for me, did you firget how powerful I am?" KORN said confidently.
"No, but their will be many consequences for your action, I'm warning you." His father said cautiously.
His boss didn't seem to take him seriously and casually says, "Tonight, she will be under our care , I don't think AJIN can handle a kidnapping alone, so I'll send some men to get her to our warehouse and then I'll ask Ajin to get information out of her, even torture if she is stubborn."
AJIN got Goosebumps at the mere thought of him torturing ANYA.
"I just need TUL to gain the power of enigma out of him, the NO ONE can stop me." KORN sounded excited.
"I know my love, but be careful." TONY said softly.
AJIN is purely disgusted by his father calling his boss 'My love'. He doesn't recognises him. He barely met him in these past years and for the years they have been together he never mentioned about her mother. Only talked about her when Ajin used to ask something but rather then giving a proper answer he tried to introduce new topic in their conversation..But here he said that he sacrificed her.
He disabled his hearing aid and turned to GORYA and FA, who were looking at him curiously.
"Don't tell him, I was here, Okay? Too much has happened, I'll explain everything to you later." He said urgently, mostly to GORYA.
"Okay, I'll take care of the CCTV and delete it, you go." GORYA said, her voice dead serious.
"Thank you" was all he could say and he darted towards the front door and hoped into his car. He set the destination towards penthouse.
OKAY! So he knows 3 things
1. His father and his boss are engaged in some relationship and his father knew about his job and even that TUL is in contact with ANYA.
2. TUL is enigma. It's conformed.
3. His mother did not die. She was sacrificed for the sake of his boss.
Now... how fucked up is that.
He needs to hurry. He parked his car a few blocks away from her penthouse to avoid suspsion. He checked that their were no security camera their and then turned himself INVISIBLE.
One of his favourite activities
He walked to the penthouse, carefully to not touch anyone or to make sound. Cause he doesn't want to make a scene.
He didn't went inside but instead he went to the backside of the penthouse and he found where all the circuits were placed, he carefully slashed the main circuit.
So, only an electrician will have to come to get the electricity back on. He will have enough time till then.
He didn't take the elevator but took the stairs to ANYA'S floor. He went to her door and SHIT. The door has password that he doesn't know and there is no electricity so he cannot unlock it. It has to be opened from the inside.
He waited for 5 min when the door opened and a servant came outside. Perhaps going to check the matter about electricity.
Fortunately, the door wasn't locked, he reckoned the servant was gonna come back soon, so he didn't bother locking it.
*He swung the door open and went inside. It was pich dark inside . Just a few dim lamps which were running on battery were on, even the curtains were drawn.
But he could make it out till ANYA'S room, he carefully opened the door and crept inside.
ANYA looked up from her phone, she was sitting on her bed, looking at the door as if waiting for someone to come in.
"TUL? Are you there?" she called out.
"It's me AJIN" he said, ANYA jumped up on her bed and looked terrified and shouted on top of her lungs, ( She was scared to hear this ..
She was able to hear the voice but wasn't able to see..
terrible!!!!)
After a moment TUL scrambled in, looking worried. The sight of him made AJIN'S heart to soft. BUT NOT THE TIME.
He cleared her throat and TUL'S eyes travelled around the room looking confused.
AJIN turned off his invisibility, so that both of them could see him.
Both of them jumped and screamed at the sight of him, fortunately God gave him two hands. He cupped each of them on ANYA'S and TUL'S mouth, so that they won't attract anyone.
"It's me AJIN" he said reassuringly, looking at both of them.
"WTH AJIN! I almost got a heart attack" ANYA said signing.
"WHAT THE FUCK "tul's eyes wide.
"Umm" AJIN didn't know where to start.
"Oh, TUL! I've known you for most of my life and this is the moment to choose to swear out loud for the first time, YOU NEVER SWEAR!" Anya somehow looking more shocked from TUL, then AJIN.
"Wait you have never- Not important right now! I need you both to listen to me very carefully. I'm going take you somewhere for a while, it's not safe for you here."
"What?? AJIN I don't understand, what's up with you?"
"I will explain, everything on the way. All I can say right now is that both of your life is in danger and ANYA someone is sending people to kidnap you right now."
ANYA'S wide eyes, somehow widened even more and TUL'S gaze turned to the floor.
" I think i know who it is." TUL muttered. He lifted his head and looked at ANYA, they shared a look and ANYA nodded her head.
She looked at AJIN, "we'll come with you AJIN." She said seriously.
AJIN smiled softly, then said "ANYA is their ant CCTV inside your room?"aß
"No, their only in the main rooms"
"Okay great! Listen now I'm going to turn both of you invisible like I was, I'll explain everything later I swear and we'll walk back to my car and then I'll decide where were going."
They both sincerely nodded their head.
"Hold my hand." AJIN said holding out both of his hands, they both held his hand quickly and AJIN closed his eyes and repeated the mantra two times.
When both of them were not visible he let go of their hands "you should pack your necessary things and in the smallest bag please so I won't have problems turning them invisible.
ANYA looked at him with a pleading smile and he knew, he would have some problem dealing with a celebs bag. He sighed
When he had done everything like checking for servants or making sure to leave no clue behind and turned the bags invisible. They left the penthouse.
They went to AJIN'S car from behind the building, there were only a few street cats and one passed out drunkard.
The 3 of them stepped inside his car in the parking lot silently.
"But AJIN, won't people think it's weird that a car is driving by itself? Cause you are invisible you know" ANYA asked him
"Don't worry, it's not my first time doing it and this has such mirrors that you can't see from outside and I'm going to take the most deserted route"
"But where are we going?" TUL asked.
"Umm.. wait i have to conform that" AJIN dialled MJ's number in his car's screen. It ringer and MJ started with ah "Yelloo!!"
"hey listen, are you at your home right now?"
"Yes, why? What's up"
"Umm... you're having guests, I'll be there in 15-20 minutes"
"ohh!! I love surprises, come soon."
"Okay, thanks bye"
"Wait!! Where is my goodbye kiss?? I'm sad-"
AJIN cut off his call and ANYA in the backseat chuckled.
"You two are very close" she said smiling.
"Yea, he is my best friend. The only one I have." He said smiling absent-minded himself.
"I'll explain everything to you two when we're in MJ's house. I don't think it's safe to speak outside."
He looked at them, he could only see them faintly himself, but at least both of them were cooperative.
He took the final turn to MJ's house. It was nice that his house was in the middle of nowhere. In the middle of woods cause MJ's parents who no longer were living there solely choose that particular house to raise MJ. They moved to city side after MJ went abroad.
MJ was like his parent's prayers, after not having a baby after many tries and many miscarriages, he was a gift in his parent's life. He was very spoiled while growing up, Childhood full of love, having everything by his side before even asking.
He particularly saved AJIN when he thought he was losing his mind because of his visions. And when he left even without saying goodbye. It hurt, hurt like hell, he locked himself in his room and cried and cried and cried.
WHITE was by his said that time. He is very grateful to her more than she knows.
The car ride was fairly quite and he didn't disturb it.
MJ's house was not a normal house but more like a banglow. Too big for one person. There was a pathway to his house from the main gate. He took his car and parked in front of the dry fountain. Maybe the fountain was not renovated yet.
MJ was standing on the front stairs scrolling through his phone and when he saw AJIN's car, he came down smiling. Until
AJIN opened the door and stepped outside. But MJ was still looking at the car as if he was waiting for someone, anyone to come outside.
"AJIN?" he called out. Oh right, he was invisible
Both ANYA and TUL came out too and shut the car door behind them.
MJ's facial expressions changed many times before he screamed and turned to run inside the house.
AJIN held his arm, preventing him from running. MJ's scream doubled at the interaction. AJIN couldn't help but laugh.
"PLEASE, LET ME GO!! MUM! DAD! SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE ME!!"
"I'M STILL A VIRGIN! I SWEAR TO GOD I HAVEN'T TOUCHED ANYONE!! PLEASEI HAVEN'T MADE A MOVE ON ANYA!!."
Anya laughed behind him then. MJ's expression flicked "ANYA??" he called out.
"it's me AJIN." AJIN said and turned himself visible again, ANYA and TUL behind him too.
"Oh" MJ finally calmed a bit .
He cleared his throat and straightened his shirt at the sight of ANYA.
"Suprise!" ANYA said widening her eyes and opening her palms on either side of her face, smiling brightly at MJ . enough to melt him on spot.
He leaned on AJIN'S shoulder, trying to look casual.
"Oh, hey ANAY" he said, flashing his charming smile at her "And TUL! You're here too."
"Yea and there staying" AJIN looked at him.
MJ's head snaped in his direction "Seriously?" he looked at AJIN in pure excitement.
"Hope you don't mind." TUL smiled.
"pfft" MJ waved his hand in the air to show his carelessness.
"Okay, let's go inside then."
Chapter -24
AJIN had some time because of the parties and had time to relax a bit. But now he should refocus on the mission.
