Play In Darkness (Eng/END)

37. Come Back To Me

If two hearts unite in such a way, then how can they ever separate?

This is our story

Now I have nothing else to do

I simply have to live and die for you

Now this is my life

~Sunta Hai Mera Khuda — Pukar~

***

When Delisha's soft body settled in Devdas arms, her shawl floated and slowly fell to the floor, surrendered, like its owner who is also helpless in the possessive embrace of a man.

Someone who witnessed how Devdas Star Tailes could treat a woman so gently and lovingly was Maya. “What drama have I seen this time?” She murmured in amazement as she crawled across the corner of Devdas study ceiling watching the two. “Am I misjudging this girl? She looks innocent and innocent, but look, stone-hearted men are crushed in her arms. Ah, really ... maybe I should change my mode of operation in luring men, hmm ....” She snarled as she rubbed her chin.

On the long couch in the middle of the room, Devdas was kissing Delisha whose lying under him. The woman sobbed, did not fight back, even held Devdas tightly, letting Devdas crush her lips as if not wanting to let go, longing after so long apart. Delisha felt that she was dreaming of a sad story with herself as the main character. The fact that this man that holds her was a cold-blooded killer awakened her. Her consciousness took over. Suddenly, she pushed aside the man's confinement and immediately got up, stuttered off the couch, stepped back away from him. The man sat up and looked at her with a hurt expression as if he couldn't believe his girlfriend had dumped him.

“Mr. Devdas, what did you do to me? Was that some kind of hallucinogen that made me see images of the past? There was a king, and I was a slave and you ... an angel??” she said, wiping the remaining tears on her cheeks and glance disdainfully at Devdas.

Devdas's eyes lit up immediately. “You remember? Chandni, you recall everything??” He stood up to hug Delisha, but the woman was getting back away from him.

“Ahaha ....” Delisha laughed. “So I'm a reincarnated being now, and you ... what? Transmigrator?” said Delisha incredulously. She brushed her hair up and grumbled to herself. “Oh, my God, I think my life is quite chaotic with my vision and myself who is sent from the future, it turns out that I am also a reincarnation and face a transmigrator who was once an angel but now he is a human and a cold-blooded killer.”

The one rolling on the ceiling was the ghost of Maya. “No, I thought my death to be an apparition already does not make sense, it turns out that there is something more absurd than me, lol ....”

Delisha ignored Maya. She was deep in thought. If this is the situation, she should do what?

“Chandni, you were reborn this time to settle with me, not with Rajputana,” Devdas said pitifully. He took Delisha's hand, but the woman gave him a terrified look and threw his hand away.

“I am not Chandni, and I am not meant for anyone, I am free to choose who I live with!”

“Oh, yeah?” said Devdas doubtfully. “Can you live with a creature that looks strange to your eyes? Tell me, how many men can you hook up because of their looks?”

Delisha's mouth was wide open in disbelief that Devdas could expose her abnormality.

“Let's just say, it's only me and Rajputana or Imdad Hussain,” continued Devdas.

Delisha's tongue was stiffened. They stood facing each other in the middle of the room like a couple fighting after just making out intently. Delisha remembered something. “There is Fairouz Khan. He is very handsome, although I'm sure he is ancient, and I have no problem with my eyesight of him,” argued Delisha.

Devdas laughed. “Huh, if you're willing to be the blood bag, go ahead, but I don't recommend. Continuous blood loss not only causes anemia, but it will also increase the bone marrow's response to creating excess new blood cells. Your blood will be too thick so it's hard to flow and even damage vital organs in your body. Donating blood is good for your health, but not too often,” he explained.

“Huh? I didn't think you cared about such a thing. You're so fake! A myriad of charities and social organizations that you reserve, just to cover up your rottenness. You pretend to be an angel even though you are a murderer!! You disgust me!”

The man's eyes darkened and a grin on his lips. He spoke as he stepped closer to Delisha until the woman continued to back off and leaned back against the desk. “Don't insult me, Chandni, I am just like any other creature of God. He made me like this. After all, those people who came to me, those who begged me. So, I took their lives so they live in peace and free from all suffering. I just manifest what they crave. Eternal happiness. “

At that moment, Delisha's eyes widened to stare at something above Devdas head. The wings on Devdas' back spread and grew bigger and darker, like a black covering ready to engulf his surroundings. Devdas' hands blackened and raised to reach her. Delisha poked the vein in her neck and stood limply leaning to the table. Instantly, her spirit jumped out and Maya entered her body.

Maya (in Delisha's body) stands up straight. Her eyes widened sharply and smiled at Devdas. “We meet again, Mr. Devdas ...,” she muttered. Devdas looked at her in surprise with his hand almost touches her neck. “Kill, kill, kill... Is that all you can do?” She said sarcastically. Devdas hand stops and shakes. His forehead creased deeply and sweat coldly in pain.

“I-I-I love you very much, Chandni, I can't possibly hurt you, let secluded kill you,” Devdas stammered and tried to grab Chandni's face. Seeing Chandni lying lifeless was his worst nightmare. He didn't let another angel take the woman's life, let alone himself. He couldn't do it.

Delisha's spirit, who was now standing in the middle of the room, stepped back with her head tilted towards the dark veil that continued to grow like a ceiling. That dark substance left Devdas body and came to her. There were no more black wings on the man's body. Only a tall, well-built body in a dark suit, a handsome face and facing a woman.

So this being could leave its host body, Delisha thought. It seemed that the creature was ignoring its body because it was filled with Maya's spirit. And now the dark creature was after her.

"I ... am not Chandni ...," Maya said, shaking off Devdas hand that was about to touch her face.

"Yes, you are Chandni, I sent you to be reincarnated," Devdas said sadly. "Therefore, stay with me, don't leave me!"

Delisha, who was now standing in the middle of the room, stepped back with her head tilted towards the black veil that continued to grow like a ceiling. The black substance left Devdas body and came to her. There were no more black wings on the man's body. Only a tall, well-built body in a dark suit, with a handsome face.

So, this being could leave its host body, Delisha thought. It seemed that the creature was ignoring her body because it was filled with Maya's spirit. And now the dark creature was after her spirit.

“I ... am not Chandni ...,” Maya declared, shaking off Devdas hand that was about to touch her face.

“Yes, you are Chandni, I sent you to be reincarnated,” Devdas replied sadly. “Therefore, stay with me, don't leave me!”

A knock on the door made Devdas and Maya turn towards the door. Devdas knew his men could not bother him unless there was something important. “Enter!” said Devdas loudly.

His personal assistant, Sanjay, a big, muscular man, opened the door and entered the room. Seeing that man, Maya shivered in horror and even hid behind Devdas. Delisha, who could only be seen by Maya, was shocked and also trembled in disgust because Sanjay in her vision was a large spider monster, over 2 meters tall, with a mouth fit to pounce featuring venomous spurs and pointed hands ready to stab. If Manager Aftab was like a spider monster the size of an adult, then this one man was bigger and scarier.

“What is wrong?” Devdas asked Sanjay.

Sanjay bowed slightly and replied, “Sir, there is Mr. Imdad Hussain downstairs. He stated he came here to pick up his personal assistant.”

Hearing that, Maya instantly ran out of the place. “Chandni, no!” exclaimed Devdas unwillingly. He rushed after the woman.

“Sir ....” Sanjay paused, then stepped out, following his master.

Imdad here? Delisha thought. She wanted to catch up with Maya immediately, but the black substance enveloped her astral body and engulfed her in the darkness.

***

Fate has granted you to me, so how can I release you?

I won't let go of these hands.

Our destinies are being fashioned anew.

Darling, I won't break the chains of desire.

How can I tell you that even the shadow of your hair feels like on my heart?

Kismat Se Tum - Pukar

***

Something in his chest ached to see Chandi's back running away from him. The woman didn't even look at him when she turned around and the elevator doors closed. Her beautiful face looks with disgust and fear. She didn't care about him anymore. Is that how much she wants to meet Imdad Hussain immediately?

"Chandni ...," sighed Devdas exasperatedly. Devdas rested his fists against the tightly closed elevator doors.

"Sir!" exclaimed Sanjay, "Shall I take that woman for you, sir?" he asked. Devdas turned quickly and growled angrily at him. "Don't you ever-touch-your-hand-to her body!" he said with his index finger pointed to Sanjay's face.

"Yes, sir! Sorry, sir!" Sanjay took a step back and bent over, worried that he would be the target of Devdas' anger.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Maya (in Delisha's body) was very relieved to see Imdad Hussain's figure standing in the front lobby of the elevator. A slender body clad in a gray suit, hands tucked in trousers pockets, and staring with eagle eyes. Maya immediately went to the security post, took her luggage, and rushed to take Imdad Hussain's hand. "Come on, let's get out of here!" exclaimed Maya in panic.

"Wait a minute!" Imdad argued and confronted the woman. He looked into Delisha's eyes.

"Is there anything you want to do here?" Delisha asked with an eyebrow raised. Imdad narrowed his eyes. "Where's your scarf?" he asked.

"Scarf?" Maya repeated in surprise then examined her hands and clothes. She wore a cream short-sleeved robe decorated with gold thread embroidery. Nice clothes and .... Maya gasped. She left her shawl in the Devdas Star Tailes room. Not only that, but she also left Delisha's spirit!

Imdad wanted to scold Delisha if Devdas Star Tailes had not appeared from the elevator and walked out with his men. Imdad's sharp brown eyes clashed with the cold gaze of Devdas' gray eyes. Delisha hid behind Imdad Hussain. Fierce conflict flared up between these two men.

"Mr. Hussain ...," said Devdas, "I never thought a CEO like you would be willing to pick up his assistant by himself, while at his business rival's place." He said intimidatingly. "I wonder where your dignity is as a boss."

Imdad smiled faintly and took a quick glance at the woman behind him, then looked back at Devdas. "For an ordinary assistant, of course, I wouldn't bother picking her up, Mr. Star," replied Imdad. He took his hand out of his pocket. The solid, muscular hands grabbed Delisha's waist and held her tightly. Maya's heart was pounding irregularly. In the man's arms, she became impatient, her hands touched Imdad's chest and pressed her protruding breasts against Imdad's ribs.

"This woman, not an ordinary assistant," said Imdad, lowering his gaze to look into the eyes of the woman in his arms. His finger touched the chin of that lovely face. "This woman, my lover ... and I know, she will always come back to me ...." Imdad cupped Delisha's lips with his. Kiss it deep and full of passion.

Delisha's astral body that was trapped in the darkness became radiant and shot out of the dark veil. Like two different magnetic poles, she was pulled back into her body. Delisha took a deep breath filling her lungs with blinking eyes in surprise to find herself in the arms and being kissed by Imdad Hussain. The man is like a solution to all her problems.

Devdas jaw immediately hardened and teeth clashed, making a grumpy sound. Is there still a piece of his heart that can be crushed? Devdas snorted with eyes dragging sharply at the two people in front of him. Initially, he was used to seeing couples in various comfortable positions. But that was hundreds of years ago, if now .... He yearns to strangle Imdad Hussain to death.

Delisha prompted Imdad to break the kiss. The man's eyes glanced intently at her. "Hmm, are you back, honey?" he muttered almost in a whisper. "Yes, I'm back," Delisha said and Imdad whispered in his ear. "Next time, don't plan on leaving your body without telling me."

Delisha agreed to Imdad's words, but her eyes fixed on Devdas. Not on the man's irritated face, but on the black wings that reappeared on his shoulders and this time seemed to be swirling with an aggressive tingle. "Yes, Raj, I was just thinking ... no matter what happens I'll come back to you for sure," she muttered.

Having confirmed that he got his woman back, Imdad did not waste any more time at the Golden Star Hotel. He gripped Delisha's hand tightly and the two of them walked out of the hotel followed by Devdas' cold gaze. "Sir ...." His assistant, Sanjay was about to speak close to Devdas ear, but seeing Devdas raise a hand to his face, he discouraged and escorted his boss back into the elevator to the study again.

While in the car, Imdad and Delisha sat side by side in the front seat. Imdad holds the wheel. Vijay and Sunil drive the car Delisha used to get to the Golden Star Hotel.

"You know, jaan, if you try to do something behind my back, you will be in grave danger and no one will save you. Luckily my instincts are strong, I know you are up to something and the ghost of that woman, Maya, what if she doesn't enter your body. "What if a male spirit or a madman who likes to run around naked," scolded Imdad.

"Sorry," Delisha sighed softly with her head lowered in guilt and her hands clenched in her lap. Seeing her like that, Imdad breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed the top of Delisha's head. Imdad is squeamish to see her. These women sometimes can be very cute and obedient like ... a pet. A pet that can serve at work and in bed. Is that why Devdas Star Tailes was attracted to her? Imdad cursed himself silently. He returned his hand to the steering wheel.

"So, what was the result of your meeting with that man?" Imdad asked later. He is lazy to mention the names of his business rivals. Filthy, according to him.

"Hmm, a little unexpected ...." Delisha replied. She reached into something in her bag and then pulled out a hand-held glass bottle with an airtight plug made of glass as well. She put her fist against the mouth of the bottle. The black smoke in Delisha's grip moved to fill the bottle.

"What is that?" asked Imdad with a deep frown and his attention divided between driving and the strange substance in a Delisha bottle.

Delisha closed the bottle tightly with the plug. "Do you know, Imdad? All diseases have an intermediary and causative agent, even diseases caused by black magic. People call them black forces."

She lifted the bottle before her eyes. "This is black power. The parasite in the body of Devdas Star Tailes."
