Mr. Nobi and his crime
In and out went the knife, floor was getting stained with fresh drops of blood. Piercing the organs, placing anger as pressure on the sharp edges of knife. The soul that was pleading for help, was now slowly getting silent with the increasing pain. Every single move demonstrated the liberty of frustrations caged together since year.
Night was dark so was the room. ‘Mehul’ an 18 years old boy, young and handsome was killed brutally last night. His mom, Nisa was the first one who witnessed the dead body dropped on the floor. Deep red liquid has clotted, body might also start rotting,it was looking worst than a graveyard.
Nisa found it difficult to stand on her feet after watching this heart breaking view. Mehul was her only son, sole source of support upon whom she completely relied. Five years ago she was divorced by her husband and both ended up separating. It was just a matter of few months that the news of him marrying to a young girl of the same city was out. Gathering all the courage she could, without letting herself down she played the role of lone parent.
The menial job both of them had (mother and son) wasn’t paying much. It was a tough task to make the ends meet. Mehul decided to give up on studies and devote himself as a full time worker. But, to this his mother never agreed at any cost. She was unable to digest that poverty will ruin his life.
‘we will move to a new place’, Mehul suggested.
Rent of their current house was too high. Electricity bills, food, fees, medicines were acting like demons. She nodded in agreement, after a week or so they shifted to a relatively backward locality.
This place was no where better in any terms especially when compared with the previous one. This incident happened exactly after 21 days of shifting.
Although they were new, still there was more than expected crowd at the last ride. People were shocked by this sudden death of the young boy.
A lady from neighbouring house tried to console Nisa. Don’t worry things will be fine.
Nisa got enraged —
The person to whom I was a staunch supporter for altogether 20 years left me alone. Battling against the misery I endeavoured for better days. Wasn’t that test enough that god snatched away my son. Why he is being so patient to let me taste death. I don’t have any will to live.Nisa wailed at her sorrowful life and wretched destiny.
Investigations started,
She drastically lost interest in all the belongings of the world. Her health also declined.
Kill him! She just desired to see the dead body of the culprit. Police advised her to stay behind the scene without interrupting in their work. Explanations, scoldings, warnings, nothing was able to keep her behind the closed doors.
Whenever at home, especially during night. She hears absurd weird voices, goosebumps over the entire body followed by severe headache. Nisa was deprived of peace lack of sleep caused further destruction to the already worse health.
Some of the results were —
- Crime happened at about 2-3am
- Finger prints matched with samples police already had.
- Culprit was a psycho serial killer.
Similar events were noted thrice till now, Mehul was the fourth one.
‘Nobi’ that’s what he was called.
He was about 32 years old, who used to live in the same locality. Later his happy life took an inappropriate turn, a tragic incident happened and Nobi went crazy since then.
If not thousands then at least a hundreds of stories were said regarding his misfortune.
The mental imbalance got attention when he started getting into unnecessary fights most of the time. It started with fight, robbery, destruction, finally achieved this stage without showing any signs of his existence.He isolated himself, disappeared somewhere in deep darkness. His absence frightened everyone. Feeling of fear became a new ingredient of the atmosphere.
Situation was like, if anything wrong occurs then Nobi was blamed for it irrespective of his presence. People had developed hatred for him. Every individual of the crowd wanted to see him behind the bars.
While Nobi rejoiced over his victory and was all set to hunt the next human.
Cheers! he said in a high tone, throwing glass of wine up in the air.
On the other hand people were losing their patience from listening frequent news of murder’s. Nisa got truly blood thirsty, she was keeping an owl’s eye on the entire scenario. Gathering information from whichever source she could. Her interest and burning desire to catch Nobi didn’t allowed the guts of CBI to keep her away.
It was mostly during night time his evil plans were executed. Dagger, venom or a single head shot.No two humans were killed using the same technique. Changing strategies worked in perfect harmony, the fine moves made minds go literally blank.He had an upper hand over everyone running behind him. People envied him but deep down were amazed by his mastermind.
Wisdom of the crowd is never wise -he smirked.
Cops were under pressure, a plan was laid down to get him trapped. Every individual of the team was entrusted with a role to play and assigned specific positions. Nisa also managed to get into it.
Strict warning said — No one will kill him whatsoever. If in case the situation reaches ultimate possible extreme then attack only on his hands or legs.
Things went as they were supposed to in the initial stages. Deep blue coloured sky, with few twinkling stars added more mystery to the hide and seek game. After hiding for more than an hour, slow noise of footsteps were heard. A man in black suit covering himself as much as he could was walking on the empty streets. His attire didn’t revealed his identity but it was absolutely guaranteed that he was Nobi. Jumping from the back a person tightly caught his throat. He tried to remove his mask and gave signal to others. Before anyone could arrive — Nobi delivered a strong push using his elbow, punched his face, smacked the jaws and knocked him down. Nobi was amused by the efforts cops were undertaking to lock him.
The race started..
Running with all the stamina they had. This was the first time Nobi was so close to the police. Losing him would clearly mean inviting more despair. Team mates took different directions including Nisa. Searching him here and there in the dark night.
Nisa, who was standing next to an old wall, holding the gun firmly which was given to her for the sake of safety was pushing herself out from the role of a sweet kind hearted lady. In short she was begging for courage.
Just as she turned her face she noticed someone.. Blurred as it appeared but the person was definitely trying to hide behind the huge tree.He is Nobi, her intuitions said. But she wasn’t sure about it, not at all. A couple of minutes later the same person moved towards the other side of the tree to avoid the arriving attacks.
Nobi.. He is Nobi.
Now it was clearly visible.
Without wasting a single moment she pulled out the gun and fired targeting at his legs. The bullet teared his skin, a hole was drilled in his left knee while he cried in critical pain. Nobi knew very well that survival will be difficult now. Mourning over the suffering will only increase the pace of the arrival of death. Thus, with the fresh wound he immediately started running to save his threatening life.
Once, twice, thrice she fired continuously in a row. Other’s halted upon listening to the noise. Nobi yelled as loud as he could then fell down straight on his face and died. Nisa sighed at his end.
‘Killing you was the last wish of my life. Now I don’t have any reason to live.’
she said and shot herself.
Cops upon arriving at the spot was shooked up from within. The two dead bodies were on the ground with blood spilled all over it. They was confused and wanted the answer to the question, who killed both of them?
Later, the entire story was understood taking aid of research.
It was a moment of joy for everyone since now there wasn’t any threat of Nobi. All would be able to live peacefully without any fear.
All the sadness that resided in her heart — the betrayal of husband, hardships brought by poverty, the death of son. All came to an end. She liberated the world (innocents) from Nobi and herself from the world.
