Devil

Finally, she is in my arms.

It's been a month since I escaped the country. I planned everything perfectly but I missed to notice Ashwika was with him in Coimbatore. Though she was saved, Siva escaped too. I planned to hide in my private island for a week and return to take Ashwika. But since he escaped and was alive, I had to hide for a week and wait for my time.

That's when I learned about the launch event and I returned to the city. I switched places with one of the housekeepers at the hotel to kidnap Ashwika. I was planning to go to the fourth floor and kidnap her either from her room or just outside her room when no one is around. But to my luck, she entered the same elevator as I was in. She laughed when the door slid closed as Siva tried to enter the lift but missed it.

She didn't realise what he missed and what I got.

I didn't waste time and sprayed the chloroform in the air. She felt dizzy and looked up at me. I lowered the mask and the terror in her eyes were so lovely. She collapsed and I held her in my arms, sitting on the floor, balancing her against me. I stopped the elevator and took her mobile from her handbag. I tried to unlock it with her fingerprint using trailing with all her fingers.

The first five attempts went waste as none of her right hand fingers were a match. I waited for another five minutes and tried with her left hand finger. The mobile unlocked at the third attempt with her middle finger. I opened the camera app and recorded a video.

"Hello Sivakumar, Eppadi iruka," I laugh at the camera. "Inaiku unnoda big day nu theriyum. Romba santhosama iruka pola. Iru unakku onnu kaaturen," I turn the camera angle and show Ashwika in my arms. "Ennoda Ashwika va naan Thookitu pooren unnala enna nerunga kooda mudiyathu. Bye. Siva ku bye sollu," I lift Ashwika's hand and wave bye at the camera. I inhale deeply from the crook of her neck and turn off the recording. (How are you? I know it's your big day. Seems like you are so happy. Let me show you something. I have taken my Ashwika and you won't be able to come near her. Bye. Say bye to Siva.)

I open her WhatsApp with her fingerprint and add the video as a disappearing media in Siva's chat conversation. I send the video and it takes time to upload as we are in the elevator. I opened the incognito browser app on my mobile and opened whatsapp web to link her whatsapp with mine.

It takes time to connect and meanwhile I put her mobile in silent and place it back in her handbag before leaving it on the elevator floor. I tied her hands and legs in a foetal position and tied the bedspread with her into a bundle and hid her in the lower berth of the trolley. I press the button to the basement where the laundry van is getting loaded. I load her with other bundles and get into the van, sit in the passenger seat next to the driver.
