Chapter 84 Circles And Crosses
The boy sentenced to ten years of imprisonment. Needless to say, they did this while thinking about his sister.
Of course, she was young and could live with her uncle or aunt, but he had to play an essential role because he was the one that stole her parents from her.
He had to look after all her expenses after she was to turn twenty-seven, probably that was why he was allowed to go only after ten years.
It was pretty weird because no one to date was given such a less punishment. Of course, maybe this was possible because his father\'s friend had a high position and influenced the judgment.
He realized that this was not a dream only after spending two to three days in prison. Till then he was quite violent and even hit many prisoners who were present alongside him.
But oh well, after that, he became quiet as if he had not done anything.
All he did was weep because of the happenings.
What else could he possibly do? Of course, when he started to show this side of his, many prisoners who were beaten up by him, took revenge.
Needless to say, he made many friends however that kept spoiling him. He started to act like a thug while being around them because he couldn\'t chicken out in front of them since he would end up becoming their target!
He was given schooling too, of course, probably because of his father\'s friends. The authorities thought that he would fare well in exams and sine he was like a genius, he could be given the opportunity to study.
But he had already been spoiled, his attitude was completely different from before. He skipped from his studies and the kid\'s school where he was sent was also filled with many other prisoners.
Needless to say, they were from different prisons and picked a fight with him. Since he wasn\'t someone who ever got into fights, he never knew how to fight nor did he have any idea about self-defense.
Thus, he was bullied by them while he was away for studying. In any case, he was never like before but for sure, he had a grudge.
He wanted to kill his own sister who didn\'t even think twice before reporting him to the cops, well, who could remain calm while facing a psycho?
Therefore, he always thought about killing her too, but then again, he could never do that since he had never once killed even a fly out of his own will.
When he turned twenty, his school was stopped and he then started to get into fights. It was exactly at this time that his sister started to visit him.
However, he didn\'t wish to see her at all and no matter how many times she came, he would either reject seeing her or would just ignore her.
Not once did he see her even after so many years. Well, he did hear her voice while she asked for forgiveness each and every time she visited, but oh well, he didn\'t care.
Soon another five years passed by and he was released from prison. Needless to say, his sister was present at the time he was released, she was happy and sad at the same time.
Happy, cause he was released and sad before of her wrong thinking and wrongdoing. She constantly blamed him for killing his parents but it was later that she realized the truth behind the incident.
He finally saw her after so many years.
\'She has become quite pretty...\', he said to himself.
Of course, he was happy to see her healthy, but at the same time, he didn\'t and couldn\'t say anything to her.
He walked past her when she asked for a hug, which was weird.
\'Brother...?\', and she kept staring at his back as he walked.
Well, she too followed him and took him to a different house where she and her uncle and aunt lived.
He was treated quite badly, f course, that was probably because he was considered a murderer.
He walked into his own room which was present in the house and shut himself because he didn\'t want to hear anything from anyone. Needless to say, his neighbors were too loud after hearing the news and seeing him for themselves.
\'Tsk, I wish I could just quit this heartless world...\', was what he said to himself at the spun of the moment but he wasn\'t being serious.
He lived in the same house day after day without going outside. His uncle and aunt were too scared to remain at home alone due to which they leave the house early in the morning and would only come at late night.
They could hardly sleep because of his mere presence. He was basically isolated by them, he used to have breakfast, lunch, or dinner in his own room, not that anyone would be present when he used to have those.
\'Everything was going fine in my life...\'
\'Just what went wrong?\', when he asked himself that, all of a sudden he remembered the moment when he met the person with piercing and tattoos coming out of his house.
\'My life changed the day I met him...\'
"Haha, I guess mom was killed by him...", he laughed when he said that, but tears ran down his eyes.
Even to this date, he had sorrow locked inside his heart!
He got up and went to the washroom and while returning, he ended up entering his sister\'s room instead of his\'. It was a mistake of course.
Her room was just beside his, it was as if she wasn\'t scared or afraid of him, not anymore at least which was one thing he could be happy about.
"Uh, I should go back to my room!", he said this when he realized that he had entered the wrong room.
But then he stopped walking when he spotted something on the wall.
"That\'s..."
There was a calendar in which dates were marked with different colored pens.
Needless to say, five of them had red marks on them, crosses that is.
"What\'s with this calendar...?", he was confused because of that.
He walked closer to it and placed his index finger on each date while moving from one day to the other.
"This is..."
"3rd August...?"
"The day when I lost my parents..."
"9th of August..."
"The day I was released from the prison..."
"And today is 21st August, it has a circle on it done with a red marker..."
"What\'s special about it?", he wondered.
He was a genius for a reason, his mind was able to calculate many things at the same time. He was able to draw any and all conclusions at the same time.
"Wait, the other dates on which there are red circles...", he checked on them.
Out of five, three had crosses while two had circles. He had already checked one, then he took a look at the next.
"26th August?", that was the next one having a red circle.
Well, all five had circles, to begin with, but the dates 6th, 11th, and 15th had crosses on the circles that was why he left them alone, what he wanted to see were the circles that were yet to be crossed.
\'So, today is 21st August, let\'s see if she puts a cross mark on it today...\', while thinking this he left the room, however, everything about the calendar was still going on his head.
He closed the room exactly the same way it was in order to prevent his sister from knowing anything. Well, whatever, it\'s not as if he was concerned with what she was doing.
\'Are these the days on which she had planned to go on a date but failed?\', he asked to himself because he had seen her go out today early in the morning while being dressed elegantly.
"Whatever...", and after saying that he lied in his room.
Time passed by soon enough and it was the next day. His sister didn\'t find out that he had entered the room the day before, which was a good thing.
In any case, he couldn\'t contain his curiosity and entered the room right after she left the house, though, she wore a normal dress.
And when he entered her room, he found the mark which had been a circle till yesterday, having an \'X\' like similar cross mark as the others.
"What the-", and that was not all.
He found some texts written on the top of the calendar where there was white space, of course, with the same red marker.
\'It is improper to enter a woman\'s room without her permission, brother.\', and that was what written on it.
To be continued...
