1 Dusk of my life

My name is Edward Armstrong, I hail from a very reputed military family in India . You can say that my name does not looks to be indian.

Well my forefathers were from Britain . They decided to not leave when British Raj ended.

My family has served Indian Military for almost 3 Generations My Grandfather , Father , Older Brothers . They wanted me also to join military and keep the tradition alive .

But I was a bit different . I never liked the idea of joining military, My passion was cooking and I wanted to open a restaurant of my own .

which I did after a big fight with my father , I decided to leave with all what I have saved till now and set up a stall of my own . At this time I was 18 and had a lot of fire to burn .

Life was good and fulfilling.

But Life....is a bitch and it never goes the way you want .

After 15 years.....

We can see two men.... one standing ...one sitting on a rocking chair, In the balcony of a big mansion .

Complexion of the man who was sitting was pale , His head was shaved had a frail body. But his eyes had something different about them they had a look that only people who were at the apex had , look of a Predator .

(...):- Remo are all the preparation over.

Remo :- Yes Sir almost every thing is ready. We Just need your concent .

The man smiled .....

(...):- It is good . I hope I can see them suffer as the world makes them Guilty without a trial .

Remo:- I hope you will be satisfied sir .

Both of then became quite as they see the dusk before them. There was some thing that Remo wanted to ask the man . But he was hesitant but steeling his resolve he then said ,

Remo:- Edward you know i never doubted your decision. But as a friend i would like to know why are you doing all this .

Selling the company you created with so much passion and dedication .

You went missing for 3 years, We would all have thought that you died . If not for your random voice mails, We got rarely .

Collecting all the horrid information ! you gave me from god know where .

What happened to you . Are you still the Edward that we know .

Edward lookes in the distance and thinks it is time to reveal some things

Edward :- You know Remo reality is a very complex thing, Some times what everyone one sees and think is true is not true , and only you can see the truth . But you are powerless to do anything against the world.

As i once was .

Remo :- I don't think i can understand what you are saying .

Edward :- I never told you about my family right ?

Remo :- No you always diverted the topic whenever asked about your family so I stopped asking .

Edward :- I never told you about my family because I wanted to separate buisness from family as much as possible .

He stopped for a few seconds and then continued

Edward :- I had a happy family Father , Mother and Brother a small happy family .

Until........

My father and Big Brother were charged for the crimes against our country which they never committed . They were branded as traitors , Every one spat on their name . My mother was harassed every time when she left home .

But still they had faith in the judicial system .

He chuckled and then sighed...

Edward :- But they forgot one thing, That Law Is Blind . It can not see , It only makes descision on the basis of proofs and witnesses . We know proofs can be planted and witnesses bought if you are strong enough.

Remo :- So the people framing them were strong enough.....?

Edward:- Yesss...

Remo :- Then...what happened ?

Edward :- What do you think happened... My Father was not able to handle all dishonour he chose death over life . My brother became mentally unstable and was sent to a mental hospital .

Remo said with a shakey voice

Remo :- So that's why ! You asked me to donate so much to Saint Mary's Mental Hospital . What about your mother where is she. She is alright write ?

One Tear drop can be seen falling from Edwards eyes. There was an ocean of sorrow hidden deep in his eyes, Which he never showes to others. But sometimes he can not contain the sorrow and it comes out in the form of tears.

Edward :- She Died from a heart attack . Doctor said that, Her heart was not able to handle all the stress .

You know when she was admitted due to the heart attack . During her last moment she held my hand and asked me to live for her, live a long and fulfilling life .

He chuckled while tears were flowing down his cheeks ....

There were tears in Remos eyes as well

Remo :- That is why, Mother is placed above all even GOD is placed below her .

Edward :- It's true .

Remo :- Who was the one who frame your family and why ?

Edward :- It was not one person. It's a group,

They call themselves Deva Council ( Council Of Gods) . I have found that they have existed from around 1857 . They used Names of different Gods as their code names . The proofs that i have given you to make viral are against these so called Devas .

Remo :- WHAT Really ? Those bastards have done this . They are not even eligible to be called humans .

They are Devils in human skin . I have seen some of the video's that you have given me .

After first few i was not able to continue watching it .

Murders , Riots , Rapes , Human Trafficking

and many more such Horrid acts .

Edward :- They have been doing it for a long time . They have muted any voice that tries to go again them . Either by Bribing them or Threatening them or Fully Destroying them

Like they have done to my family.

As my father had started Investigating an Arms deal that was Done without first checking the goods .

They first wanted to bribe him which he rejected and put the person in jail who came to do that .

Then anonymous threats started coming which also he reported to police . But the Police was never able to trace them .

Then one day Police came to our house .

He thought they had cough the criminal .

But oposite to his expectations . They were here because my father was summoned to face charges for treason in the ARMY Court .

And what happened after that you already know .

Suddenly Remo hugged him and said while crying ...

Remo:- Edward i... always called you my friend, but today i am so angry at my self.

A person that I called my friend , was going through so much pain and I was not able to see it .

I AM SORRY EDWARD

I AM SO SORRY....

"sob" "sob" "sob"

Edward :- Now Now stop crying . It is not your fault that you were not able to do anything . It's my fault . As i was not strong enough to protect any one from them . So I never told anyone about this .

I knew that they will take me out, The moment i show any signs of investigation about the topic . So i sold my company , Gone underground, Changed my identity .

I literally became a ghost .

I was able to see them but they were not abel to see me .

I was abel to harm them but they were not able to do anything .

I did a lot of things that i never thought that i will do before Torture , Murders, Kidnap all fucking things that i can to get evidence against them .

It was not easy , But i had help and with that i was able to gather enough proof to further my plans .

Remo :- But if they are as strong as you say they are how are you going to take your revenge how much ever proof you obtain they can easily escape the judicial system with their connections .

Edward :- You will see how it plays out .

After saying this he closed his eyes and enjoyed the sun setting on the horizon .
