Mafia's Star

A man in his mid twenties with chocolate brown eyes, perfect yet messy hairs, perfect jawline, six feet height with a perfect body resembling greek god looking dashing as ever is looking out of the window of his private jet along with his friends who were unusually silent from yesterday's happenings.

After having enough silence, the Greek god himself asked his friends "what's wrong with you guys? Why are you all so silent?" to which they gave him a pointed look making him sigh.

"Aarav what's running in your mind? What are you thinking now? We are just concerned about you and you know that too" said Ishaan, Aarav's best friend.

"I know Ishaan you guys are concerned about me but what about the lives that were going to be ended yesterday if I didn't go there on time?" Aarav said frustratingly.

Charlie, his one of the best friends, kept her hand on his shoulder making him look up and asked "we understand that you went to save a lot of people but what about you Aarv? Didn't you think about yourself, us, uncle, aunty, anyone?"

"When we take an oath to protect everyone who is in trouble and is innocent, it's our responsibility to save them, Charlie," said Aarav face palming.

Charlie settled beside him and said calmly "if you wanted to save them, you have to be alive too" which confused him.

"What do you mean?" Aarav asked.

"See, you went to save them, it's okay, you went alone, that's fine too even though we are angry. But you went there without any protection. If you want to save other innocents, you have to be alive for tomorrow right?" Charle said to which he realised she was right.

"I'm sorry guys. I was just numb when I got to know that a bomb blast was going to happen there and I didn't think of anything else and just went there. I know I should have taken our men or strong guns but I thought it would be fine." Aarav said feeling guilty.

"Everything is fine now. So now explain what exactly happened yesterday?" asked Arjun, another friend of Aarav.

"Okay listen" Aarav started saying what happened yesterday after taking a deep breath.

FLASHBACK : [ in third person's pov]

After the most awaiting concert of the world famous band "five flamingos", Aarav, the lead singer and guitarist of the band came to the green room to change himself and get back home when his second mobile which he uses for his Mafia work pinged showing a message from his most trusted guard "Roy" and that blew his mind off.

The message read "A blast is going to happen in 2 hours at Phoenix mall and even the bomb planters are hiding there to blast it at the right time."

He just took his gun from his suitcase and loaded it with bullets before replying to Roy with an okay and wore a mask so that no one can recognise him. He changed his outfit fastly to escape from the guards.

He came out of the concert hall from the back of the green room carefully and took a random bike from the parking lot which had a key to it and started driving towards the mall. It takes one and half an hour to reach there.

Aarav took a bluetooth and fixed it in his ear and connected to Roy still driving towards the mall at jet speed.

"Roy, how many guards are with you?" Aarav asked the moment Roy picked up the call.

"I have two teams of twenty members with me sir." Roy replied.

"Okay ask them to dress in casuals and go inside the mall and inform customers carefully without letting the bomb planters know and ask them to get out of the mall" Aarav instructed.

"Okay sir." Roy nodded.

"And clear all the crowd around the mall slowly and if needed call a few more teams too. but make sure bomb planters won't get suspicious about anything" Aarav warned dangerously.

"Okay sir" Roy said confidently. If its been any other guard, they would have shivered at Aarav's cold tone but Roy knows everything about Aarav and he knows Aarav won't do anything wrong. He is the closest among all.

Aarav cut the call and continued driving. Here at the concert, Arjun, Ishaan, Charlie and Aadhya are getting tensed about sudden missing of Aarav and even the crowd is requesting for a group picture.

In one hour, Aarav reached the mall and parked a bit away from it so that no one would get in trouble. He connected the call to Roy again and said "I'm a few meters away from the mall." to which Roy replied with an okay.

Soon, Roy came and found Aarav who was in his casuals and wearing a mask.

"Yes sir" Roy said not loudly, taking care no one listens to them. "How many people are there, Roy?" Asked Aarav looking around to see the crowd slowly getting cleared.

He smiled at his Caring team. "We have seen ten guys sir. One with the turban is having the remote. We didn't do anything because we didn't inform you and also we don't know if someone pressed the button after seeing us" replied Roy to which Aarav nodded with a solemn face.

"Clear the crowd in ten mins and ask the manager to push them soon saying the time's up for the day" said Aarav loading his gun and setting it in his back pocket and taking the spare gun from his shoe side. Roy nodded and was about to go when Aarav called again and said "get me some sharp nylon wires that are strong enough to slice their necks in ten minutes" said Aarav to which Roy nodded.

"Wait. I will myself talk with the manager you leave." Aarav said and started going after removing his mask and fixing the fake beard and moustache he ordered from Roy.

Aarav entered the mall and went to men's wear and acted as if taking something and asked a sales person the cabin of the manager and after knowing that he was there, he went inside the cabin.

Manager was talking to someone on mobile when Aarav entered startling him.

"Hello mister, who are you? How the hell did you enter inside without my permission? Don't you know the basic manners?" Manager started blabbering, making Aarav irritated who took his gun from his back pocket and aimed it on Manager's forehead making him stop his mouth.

"Yes sir, what can I do for you?" asked the manager politely, making Aarav chuckle. "All you have to do is to send your customers away and close the mall in..." Aarav continued and looked at his watch before saying "ten minutes."

Manager looked at him with wide eyes. "Just because you have a gun, don't think that I will play the way you want to. If I want, I can get more guns than you. And-" Manager was about to continue when his landline on the table rang and he looked at it.

"Pick up the call, you won't lose anything by picking it up" Aarav smirked and the manager got confused but picked it up anyway. Listening to the other side of the person, his face lost all of its colours and he almost resembles a scared chameleon with wide eyes.

"Yes sir" he said before cutting the call. "Any thing left to say manager sir?" asked Aarav sarcastically and manager nodded his head in no vigorously.

"So?" Aarav said and the manager continued "Ten mins and everything will be done sir. You please sit here, I will order a cool drink for you" said the manager, who is now scared to his wits.

Nodding his head, Aarav removed his gun from the manager and manager went out but instead of making everyone go away, he locked Aarav from outside and said through landline when Aarav picked it up "Sir this room is soundproof and you are locked. Now do whatever you want."

Manager went away smirking happily on his success and was going to meet the owner before handing Aarav to the police. Aarav inside was shocked. He didn't expect this from that cunning manager.

His eyes turned red in anger, rage and annoyance. He went to the door and banged it but the door was too hard. Here, three of the bomb planters were just in front of the Manager's room who dragged the manager after spraying chloroform.

They smirked after listening to the banging of the door and went out without giving two hoots to it. Aarav took his mobile to call Roy but then remembered he sent Roy to get Nylon threads and it takes twenty minutes minimum for him to buy them and come to the Manager's room.

He thought of calling Charlie or Aadhya and took his mobile out and switched it on only to find "NO SIGNAL" and cursed under his breath. He isn't scared for himself but for the people.

He knows only half an hour is left for the bomb blast and if he goes out before ten minutes, it's impossible to send everyone out or announce it now itself as they can blast it now too if they knew that their plan got leaked.

SHIT GOT JUST REAL......

He took the landline and called the M.D. but the call went dead. He broke the landline in anger, throwing it on the ground. Time is ticking faster but Roy isn't there.

"Shit. This asshole of a manager. Damn. He just showed his nature to me and I swear to god if I find him again, I'm going to kill him" Aarav said to himself trying to control the monster in him.

Now only twenty minutes left for the blast. And according to Roy, the bomb is in the parking lot hidingly. And the timer was already set and the blast may happen any moment. He didn't know why he played dumb this time. He could have dropped a message to his friends before coming here.

Many lives. Many families. Many hopes. The Mafia's king is helpless.

If the blast happens, he can't forgive himself forever. He wants his star now. Someone to get him out of darkness which he is living from forever.

MAFIA'S STAR IS NEEDED.

All he felt at that moment is the same feeling he felt when someone had taken his loved ones away from him forever. He felt his past coming back. He felt it's happening again in front of his eyes. His breaths started getting slower and shorter.

He started feeling suffocated in that cabin and wanted to get out of the cabin as soon as possible. Taking a deep breath, he stood up from his place and fisted his hands tightly and went to the door all ready to break it how much it may cost him.

But again it's a question of many lives. All he could do now is just pray for the guard and break the door. Only twenty minutes left. He closed his eyes and banged the door loudly. He did it a few times. Now only fifteen minutes left.

His knuckles started bleeding as he didn't wear any gloves and the door was solid one.

The door slowly started cracking due to the pushes and bangs of the muscular man. A few more bangs and the door will burst out. He was about to punch one more time, The door opened itself revealing a cute girl in her mid twenties.

She was wearing a mask and a pure black dress looking so hot but only her eyes could be seen. The innocence in her eyes can even melt stones.

Her thick black long hair falling on her back making her look more beautiful were disturbing the view to him. The one who was suffocated seconds before was lost in her. His breaths became normal looking at her.

She lifted her eyes up to him and held his hand in hers and dragged her along with him. The sudden pull brought him out of his trance and he looked around to find half of the mall already empty and some teens were talking to people and making them get out of the mall. He got confused.

She left his hand and said "See, go away from here fastly. A bomb is going to blast in minutes and you will be dead if you don't run" she said and showed him her hand to go but he said "no I'm not going anywhere I came here to save people" to which she chuckled.

"See, this ain't any game to play. It's really serious and it's better if you leave" she said calmly but he just pulled his gun from his back pocket and showed it to her.

" Even I'm no less! baby girl, I won't die without a fight" Aarav said and thought of going to the top floor to see whether everyone are out from this premises. He was about to step forward when something struck in his mind.

"Wait! How do you know that there is going to be a bomb blast?" He asked, purely confused and shocked. It was meant to be confidential. She chuckled before saying "just the way you know'' and took a step forward to go away from there.

She walked a few steps when a hand clasped around her wrist and pulled her back making her purely startled and her back hit his torso.

He wrapped his hands around her waist making her breath hitch.

"Tell me who told you that a bomb is planted here?" He asked in his husky voice, making her go crazy.

But her first priority is to make the people safe. Coming out of the trance, she immediately removed his hands from her and looked directly into his eyes before speaking "that doesn't matter. Now the most important thing is to make the people safe and find those who fixed the bomb. I'm going to check the CCTV footage or something that may be helpful to find them."

"What's your name?" He asked curiously.

"Devil" she said and winked at him before leaving.

All he saw about her is her eyes, hair and a rose tattoo on her wrist.

"I have to know everything about her" he murmured to himself when Roy came to him and said "sir, we sent everyone out of this place. No people around until two kilometers other than this mall" making Aarav nod his head.

"I want the details of that girl" Aarav said pointing at the same girl and Roy nodded and handed him the nylon wires.

"Okay, now get the others down and now I'm going to announce the bomb matter in the announcement room to the whole mall and get the cars ready outside. Whoever will come out, send them away from here and call a few choppers too" said Aarav.

"And yes don't follow her nearly and make sure she won't get suspicious. She has eagle eyes" Aarav warned to which Roy nodded.

"Okay sir. Anything else?" To which Aarav nodded in no and Roy nodded before calling others on walkie-talkie and informed them about it. Roy walked away after giving a spare gun to Aarav who took it secretly.

Aarav saw the teens are doing everything correctly but the weird thing was how many people know this and why aren't the bomb planters making any attack when suddenly all the people are leaving this place.

Aarav went to the announcement room to find it empty. Weird. Sighing, he went to the mike and switched it on after locking the door behind him.

"Alert everybody. There is a bomb planted in this mall and no one knows where it is. So I would request everyone either to go to the terrace or the entrance and you would safely reach your places. Thank you" Aarav immediately switched the mike off.

Taking a gun from his pocket, he slowly opened the door cautious if anyone would come to kill him. He went out but found none. He was really confused thinking why aren't any bomb planters getting alert or attacking someone when their plan is leaked out.

He was about to move forward when he felt someone's presence behind him. "Hands up" A strong cold male voice was heard. Aarav smirked to himself and slowly turned around but even before he turns the voice spoke again.

"Don't turn and drop your gun down" to which Aarav slowly lifted his hands and slowly bent to keep the gun down and the midway itself, then turned around and shot the man on his knees.

The man screamed loudly in pain when Aarav shot him again on his other knee making him fall on the ground and the gun slipped out of his hands.

Aarav smiled evilly and said "What did you think? You will kill me and I will let you do that?"

The man was wincing in pain and soon, listening to the scream, all his team came there and Aarav was shocked to see more than forty men were there.

No it isn't hard for him to tackle these gorillas but thinking where these many men were hiding. He knows Roy and the team would be making the people safe so he has to fight this alone.

As he had already kept the nylon wires in the announcement room, all he had to do was to make these men weak and get them inside. But suddenly something struck in his mind again.

Why are these men here when they planted the bomb here only? Even these will die if they are here.

And it's just three minutes left for the bomb blast means even Aarav is going to die too?

Is the bomb actually planted in the mall or is this just for some diversion?

"Is the bomb planted here?" Aarav voiced out his thoughts to which they started laughing evilly. Sinister laugh. But the man Aarav saw first who has a remote with a turban is nowhere to be seen.

Is the girl who brought him out in this plan too?

If she is innocent is she safe?

If this is a drama where is the actual bomb fixed?

SHIT.

___________

Author's note- Hola fellas. Hope this is enough to make everyone curious about this story and don't forget to drop your precious reviews if this story is good.

He looked around but didn't find that specific person he had been looking for. The men were still laughing and were a bit inattentive towards Aarav.

"I guess I didn't crack a joke so would you do the honours of saying what's making you laugh?" Aarav is annoyed by their so-called beautiful laughter that is damaging his eardrums.

"Even if the bomb is here, we are not scared of death. We are happy that these people are dying at least and if the bomb isn't here, then many people would die as this is mostly empty" said one of the men.

Aarav, taking this as a chance, thought of shooting them when all of a sudden, there started a rain of bullets on those men who were dressed up in black suits and laughing startling Aarav.

He turned around to find a few white suited men and women shooting those black suited men continuously and eighty percent of them were already dead and wounded.

"Missed me?" a voice that was already locked up in his heart when he heard it for the first time repeated again and he looked at the same girl with long hair asked with a charming smile.

"Of Course not," Aarav replied with a sigh and a small smile. He now understood that she is there and she isn't one of those black suited men.

"Did you find where the bomb is?" The girl asked. "No, but I don't think it is here" Aarav replied to which she raised her eyebrow.

"How are you so sure that it isn't here?" She asked to which he chuckled before replying.

"If it is here, we wouldn't be alive I guess," Aarav said, smirking.

The black suited men are completely dead and the girl is still wearing the mask.

"What if I say I have called people and made the bomb defuse?" the girl asked, smirking back, making Aarav utterly surprised.

"What?" He asked with wide eyes. "yes. The bomb is here itself. In the parking lot beside the fire extinguisher. Bomb squad came to defuse it." She replied.

"How come you know-" Aarav was about to complete when they heard many gun shots making them close their eyes and ears for a moment and slowly opened their eyes to find more and more black suited men nearly hundred were coming and killed the maximum white suited men.

Both looked at eachother and swore together "Shit" and took their guns out and started shooting the black suited men.

Aarav's bullets came to an end and he took out the second and started shooting the men and white suited people, the mystery girl is also shooting.

The mall is turning into war ground. Blood is seen everywhere.

______________________

I was shooting continuously and the mystery girl is still a mystery to me. She looks like a skilled person with the way she is handling the guns and men.

Her eyes are enough to drown anyone in them so deep that they would wish to drown forever and never get up.

She is having all my attention and I'm not able to shoot concentratedly.

Urgh Aarav what's wrong with you when you are getting distracted. You have to save yourself and others.

I was thinking about and I don't know when a black suited man came behind me and was about to shoot me when a bullet passed through just an inch away from my eyes and entered in his head.

DAMN. JUST MISS. ORELSE MY HEAD WOULD HAVE BEEN SERVED TO VULTURES.

I was shocked to be honest. I found the girl who just saved me from my death is still shooting. I found someone standing just behind her. Damn.

I aimed my gun at him and shot but the bullets were completed.

SHIT.

I took my gun and was about to hit him with it when he himself fell on the ground, blood oozing from his head.

I looked up to find that girl pointing the gun at him and her eyes blazing with fire. Man. She has eyes on the back of her head too.

"Quit staring at me" she said even without looking at me and looks like even her bullets are completed. She took the gun and hit on the head of the guy and made him unconscious.

Now only twenty of them are left and even her men are dead. We both are left.

I thought of getting the nylon wires which may help now. I went inside and was taking them when I felt someone's presence just behind me.

Leaving all wires except one, I turned around in a split second and wrapped the wire around his neck and pulled the wire tightly and his neck turned red due to the tightness and also blood was oozing.

Taking it as a chance, I kicked him on his stomach by my knee and twisted his neck and he growled in pain and now died.

Huff. Done. Next I don't know how many deaths are going to be here. I took the knife from the side of my shoe and the nylon wire and went out but till the time I reached, the girl alone was fighting and I went to help her but before I did something someone hit me on my head and I fell unconscious.

Oh god that girl. Damn god be with her.

FLASHBACK ENDS ::

"And when I woke up, I found myself in my room with a note in my shirt pocket and you guys know what happened next." I ended the mysterious girl's story.

I was really surprised by what I saw there. I didn't expect myself to be safe this morning. I looked around only to find all pairs of eyes glaring at me.

Yeah I know I deserve this. Why not when I scared them to shit almost made them cry.

"I'm really sorry guys but I myself didn't know what happened to me" I said, holding my ears.

The attack happened in New York and now I'm returning to my country India. I miss mom and dad.

It's been a week since I met them or talked to them.

I was brought out of trance by Ishaan who asked a smiling mischievously "anyway who Is the girl that made you lost in her just by her eyes that too in first meet?"

Damn now this guy will start his *anything might happen but I will cook Aarav Malhotra program*

"Yeah, I even wanted to ask. Anything about that girl?" Charlie asked seriously.

"Why so serious?" I asked, understanding the sudden change in her tone scrolling through my mobile.

"Come on Aarav, are you really whipped?" She asked me and I was hell shocked and turned my head in a whiplash that I doubt why my head didn't break yet.

"What the hell Charlie?" I whispered to her and looked at my fellow bestfriends who were trying hard to control their teasing smiles.

Douches.

"That's what I'm asking. I'm asking you did you got any information about that girl as she knows the message as the time you know and she even fought and saved you. Don't you think we need to know her details?" She said and I sighed in relief and nodded.

"By the way what did you think when I said that?" Charlie asked again, showing her dimples smiling mischievously. Oh god I need new friends.

I had a few pillows around me and I threw one at each person annoyingly directly on their face making them laugh more.

I would do anything for these smiles whatever may happen. I wish my baby was here too. I miss her. God why didn't I raise my voice that day? I shouldn't have left her. She was our heart and I let that go. I can never forgive myself for that.

A ping from my mobile brought me out of trance. These idiots are still laughing. I wish I could throw them in a pool of piranhas.

I checked my mobile and it's my second mobile which I use for mafia work and the message was shocking. It pinged again and It's more shocking. Oh god. Fucking shit.

Arjun called my name and I looked at him. Seeing my change in expression, everyone became serious and looked at me to say something.

I don't know what to say. So I just showed both the messages to them.

The first message made them smile a little but the second one made them angry. All looked like they were ready to snap your head at any moment.

Let's just hope everything goes well.

I sighed and closed my eyes. This time I won't make any mistakes and make sure everything goes ok.

________________

A girl in her mid twenties with a cute pout and tiptoeing silently from outside the house and made sure she sneaks in carefully at morning 4 o'clock. She slowly opened the door.

She knows she will be in danger if anyone catches her. She closed the door slowly facing the main door making sure it wouldn't make any sound and took a few steps backward but suddenly felt something hard behind her.

Who kept the wall in the middle of the hall? She turned around slowly, closing her eyes tightly praying to God to save her and slowly opened her one eye. The person is the one whom she didn't want to meet at that time.
