Truth untold
Sometimes it feels like i am high so high that I can't breath and you're the drug.

The car was silent and to be honest it was suffocating. I know the life would have been different if I haven't attended that interview. But i guess that fate had something pre planned which was not as good as I thought. People may think i got a jackpot by striking a marriage with the millionaire like him but none but me knows the truth that it is a contact signed with the devil.
The peaceful silence was broken by the song. A really familiar song. The song which i never thought would be played in a car of the devil. "Isn't it truth untold by bts!?" I asked to mr. silent sultan, something shined in his eyes. "You know bts?" He asked me as if i just gave him the hope to live. "Yes of course i am a proud army" i said with the at most pride i have ever owned. He gave a high squeal like a high school girl and said in his high pitch voice "me too". We both had that fan girl moment for about ten minutes in which nothing but we both were screaming the praises for our seven husbands. "I never thought that i will meet an Army here and specially you! This is something so unreal! But i am happy" i was genuinely happy. To which he replied with "i am not the only one here you met another one as well" he said with a smirk. I was confused the only person i met apart from the devil is aman! "Oh snap is it aman?!" I was happy finally some good fan boys. "Nope" he said it with popping the "p" in it. "Then whom are you talking about? I mean the devil surely can't be"...i trailed by the line when i saw his smile. "Oh snap! That devil? Are you sure?". "Yes" he's an Army and trust me he has whole album collection and he has a room even dedicated to bts in his penthouse. You'll see it after marriage as you going to live in that house" he said smiling. Shock, utter shock, "how the fuck? Ohk i meed to stop swearing but how?i mean that devil ? I am so done today. The events which are unfolding are too much to take in but i guess this is something which I can't take in". I plopped in the car seat still so confused.
"Do you know why i played truth untold just now?" Sultan asked me. "I don't know why?" I mean what he gonna expect me to be a future teller or whatever those cheapskates are called. "It's the favourite song of the master. He loves this song because of it's backstory. Do you know it's backstory as well?". "Yes i do". I replied. Everyone in Army knows this story. "La città di smeraldo" it's a story based on the italy where lived a man who believed he was ugly enough to be not to be seen by any humans. He locked himself in the castle where nobody used to come. But one fine day came a lady in search of the flowers which she could sell to make the living. As the man never saw anyone his yard for his whole life he thought he would help this lady by growing the more flowers without getting noticed by her. She came everyday to pick the flowers and he did everything to grow more of them. But one fine day she stopped coming and he came to know that she died. Leaving his little hope dying. And that's why there is a line in the song "but i still want you". This song makes everyone sad yet realise what true love is and how it feels to be longing to the one ray of that love. But this doesn't explain why that devil likes this song? Is he someone who is also longing for the love? the way sultan is looking at me and smiling through the front mirror he have already realised that i just solved my little own question. May be he wanted to show me something which the world doesn't know. May be I should just try a little to understand the devil. May be a bit? While thinking so hard I didn't realise that my eye lids were laying for some rest as I couldn't sleep a blink last night. "You should sleep a bit ayana if the master comes I'll wake you up" with that i let go of myself to a beautiful sleep.
