Her aura disappeared, and I was a little sad about it for a variety of reasons. After leaving that place, I headed straight to the apartment.
Ting, the elevator came to a stop on the floor where her apartment was located. Since it was the middle of the night and there was silence throughout the floor, the elevator doors opened. I moved toward the apartment and entered through the open door, going straight to the bed.
*Knock* *Knock*
Early in the morning, while I was by myself, I heard a knock on the door and went to answer it. The aura made it clear who was behind the door.
While opening the door, my mind was thinking about how I could get out of this situation.
"Hey, are you okay?"
"Yes"
"Thank God," he said with satisfaction on his face.
Oh, did I miss something? I was prepared for a fight at this point.
"Don't stand on the door; come inside."
I invited him in because Ruhi told me it is a human courtesy to invite someone you know into your home. I would have avoided this man on any other day, but today was different.
"No, it's okay. You see, Ruhi had an accident yesterday, and since you live here with her, the higher ups would like you to ask some questIons."
"Accident? Yesterday, all she said was that she had something to do and left late. Is she alright?"
"No, she didn't make it. I am here to accompany you to the organization so they can question you. It's fine they don't suspect you."
It appears that I am still safe, so if I do nothing suspicious, I may be able to get away.
"Ok"
After escorting me to his car, we headed in the direction of our destination. I recalled asking Ruhi a lot of questions about these strange carriages when she once drove me somewhere. I miss her cooking so much
"I miss her cooking so much."
Did I really say that aloud?
"Um?"
"Nothing, I was just chatting to myself."
Once we arrived at our destination, I attempted to exit the vehicle, but I could not remember how to release the seat belts.
"See this is how it's done "
Upon observing my difficulty in opening the seat belt, he proceeded to demonstrate how to do so.
We entered the enormous building we were visiting, and he showed me to a room that was completely white.
"Just wait here. One of the guys will come over and question you about Ruhi."
The room contained a table and two chairs. After grabbing a chair, I waited for the interrogator. For some reason, I felt like there were some objects on one of the corners, watching me. My curiosity was aroused, and I wanted to see it up close.
"No, I must control myself." I muttered
I then remembered one of Ruhi's ways for controlling the excitement. She used to inhale deeply whenever she felt excited.
"Let's give it a shot."
Inhale...hold...exhales
"Haah"
Inhale...hold...exhales
"Haah"
Inhale...hold...exhales
"Haah"
I feel better already. I had no idea that human had a way could control their excitement.
"..."
"But, since no one is present, taking a quick look will not cause any issues."
Unable to contain my extreme excitement, I leaped directly for the object in the corner. The object that was fastened to the ceiling was in my grasp.
"It looks very similar to what Ruhi had in her drawer," I said in demon language.
But, there are some differences. This object has a square form, and something that looks like glass sits in the middle, giving the impression that it's staring.
"I still don't understand why, whenever she used that object, she used to shout this human's name."
I studied this object for a while after that.
After a while, I noticed humans with a powerful aura surrounding me.
Did they hear me? was the first thought that entered my mind. However, I looked around me carefully and everything seemed safe.
I suddenly felt as though something was approaching, so I stepped back from it. The wall collapsed, revealing four humans—including that one—who were possessed by angels on the opposite side of the wall.
Seeing them around me gave me chills. The surrounding air felt so dense that it began to interfere with my breathing. This feeling that I thought was gone started to resurface.
"You are making a scary-looking face there."
"Well, Nehal has always been scary."
"We are not talking about Nehal here."
"I know, I know, I was simply expressing my thoughts."
"Those two are annoying; listening to their screams would compensate," I said in demonic language.
My demonic nature was taking over and I considered releasing my full aura.
I suddenly remembered the human's expression from the last time I did not conceal my aura. A few old memories came back to me.
"The Contract."
"If you feel like a demon, you will not kill anyone."
I remembered the contract I made to this human.
"What do you mean by 'feeling like a demon'? You're a demon"
"After she dumped me, I made a self-promise to never go near her again."
"What? You asked her out?"
"We are facing a demon, so keep quiet unless you want me to forget that you are my coworker."
"Hey, Rohit seems really angry."
"Did you not know Nehal and him were in a relationship?"
"What!"
