Mafia Love

15.

After that I went up to my room and lay on the bed thinking about everything that happened. Thinking about all this I didn't even realize when I fell asleep.

Days passed by, months as well. I learned alot about Adrian. As dangerous as he could be I learned that he is a nice person as well. We have gotten used to each other's presence in the house. He lets me talk to Sarah as well. In the beginning it was more of a reason to prevent suspion but now its more like 'if you wanna talk to her you can talk'

There have been these certain moments where I bet that if only he wasn't in the Mafia I would have fallen hard for him. I was always attracted to him because of his amazing physical personality. He is like a walking and living Greek god with well sculpted face and body. But as I got to know him and as I have studied his actions on daily basis, I've realised he is a normal person. He has his happy days where he talks a lot and is very kind and he has his sad days where even a tiny thing can set him off.

He's become more of the "adjustable" type.

Weird to hear it but yeah.

He allows me to do the shopping. He accompanies me at times when he is free. I learned that he hates shopping but he came along with Ky and me just not to disappoint me. We even cooked together and he learned that I was a bad good and I learned that he was good, a very good cook. By the end off the 'cooking together' it was more like I was messing the place and ourselves and he was cleaning the place patiently.

Sometimes he acts like a jerk but now it's only to annoy me because he knows I hate that.

We are sort of friends but not friends.

I sort of like him but I don't.

There have been certain moments where we got intimidated by each other's presence and almost kissed but it didn't happen. It would be really awkward after that and I would be really dissapointed.

Obviously!

When I woke up one morning  I found a note near my pillow. It was written untidily.

I got a very important work to do. It's really important. Just stay indoors and don't come out of the house. If you're lonely call ky over. Kurt is with me. This job is very risky.
                                         Adrian

I felt chills down my spine. I started to get worried about him. He said that this job is risky.

Now this is starting to creep me out.

Oh good god please be with him.

I couldn't stop thinking about it so to divert my mind from stupid thoughts I called ky over. Maybe we can hang out and I would be a little less worried about stuffs.
****************************
"I'm scared ky" I said.

I had planned on watching a movie with KY and diverting my mind but I just can't.

"Me too....You don't know how dangerous this job is. It's an encounter with the Owens....the biggest enemy of Adrian and Kurt and their Mafia group. It's more or less do or die. Either they succeed in killing the head of that Mafia who is Owen or else they will be killed. Only one group will return out alive. I cried whole night begging Kurt not to go but when I fell asleep he left." She said tears in her eyes.

Even she's shit scared.

"oh shit! It's that serious....God... That's why he freaked out when he saw I was not in the room." 

We just sat there quietly.

The whole house was silent.

But it was not an awkward silence.

We were comfortable with such kind of silence.

We sat there for hours doing nothing and talking nothing. For the first time I didn't feel like watching TV. I didn't want my mobile. I didn't feel like eating nor did I wanna talk.

All I wanted was Adrian to be safe.

I wanted Adrian to come back home even if it means having to bear his annoying behavior, it's fine I just wanted him back home safely.

"but why are they enemies of Owen. What has he done like that?" I asked finally breaking the silence between us.

"it's long story Ara." she said.

"and we are in no hurry for anything. You can tell me" I said.

"OK I don't know if I should be telling you this. I don't know exactly what happened but this is what Kurt told me.....when Adrian was celebrating his 12th birthday something great happened that day. It was his 12th birthday. His parents were more than happy about it and so they invited all the people Adrian loved to be with...Right from his friends to his favorite aunt and uncle. They got him the most expensive games and prepared all the food he loved. They did everything they could to make their son happy. Of course any teenager at that time would have been thrilled to get everything he liked without even asking for it All of them were having a jolly good time....Partying....dancing.... Eating....playing and lot more until firing started all of a sudden. It was the Owen's they had attacked them. Adrian's mom and dad carefully hid him inside a wardrobe and covered him up with blankets and clothes for them not to find out. They knew their time has come. Adrian's mom didn't get enough time to run away and so his mom and dad were murdered in front of him. At the tender age of 12 he lost everything....that night's darkness hasn't yet gone away from his life.....After the shooting and killing the Owens went away.....Little Adrian came out of his hiding place only to see all his loved one's dead....The children of his age who were running about just a while ago were lying on the ground motionless....His aunt who prepared the best cake in the world for him just a while ago was lying dead....And the cake was left uncut. He didn't know what was happening. He shook his parents but they didn't wake up. He was scared but no one comforted him. He cried but no one wiped his tears and hugged him. From that day Adrian distanced himself from material attachment. It's not that he doesn't believe in love it's just that he's afraid to love someone again.That day he swore to take revenge. That day he promised himself never to fall weak and not to show Mercy." After saying that she heaved a heavy sigh.

By now I had tears in my eyes.
Adrian had to go through so much at such a young age. He lost his family when he was that young.

"where was Kurt at that time. I heard they were childhood buddies. So when did Kurt meet Adrian?" I asked.

"fortunately Kurt couldn't make it to the party.. He was out of the country with his parents and they were about to land here late at night. When they reached here the attack was over and what they found was Adrian sleeping in between his parents' body. He must have cried himself to sleep because there were tear stains on his face. From that day Kurt's parents looked after him like his own child. He's forever greatful for that but it was to late he had already shut himself away from the world." she said.

"and that's the room his parents died in" she said pointing out towards a room.

Wait, hell no this can't be true.

Adrian is living in the same house his parents died!

Man it must be haunting him everyday.

I followed her fingers and noticed that it is the same room which Adrian told me to stay away from. So this is why that room was always locked and this is the reason why he doesn't like anyone going into that room.....I felt bad....really bad for him.... At such young age it was not fair enough for him to experience such misery.

I don't blame him for what he is today.

I didn't know he had such a horrible past. Just hearing about it brought tears into my eyes I can't imagine how it must feel to see his parents being murdered in front of him. I wanted to give him my sympathy. I knew giving my sympathy woykd able matters worse. But that was the least I could do. I wanted him to know that people are there for him in this world. But I didn't have the guts to do that. I don't even know if Adrian is gonna be fine with me knowing about his past. I mean it's a dark chapter in his life and I'm just a stranger to him so he may not like the idea of me knowing about him... His past and his life.

Well to save ky and myself from his confrontation I need to pretend that I don't know anything about it.
