When The Devil Cried

~Far yet close~

The devil still had some untouched questions but he rather decided to let them be. He didn't wish to disturb the things... just let it go with the flow. That night he just listened to her voice the melody so stratifying that it made a space in the devil's heart. That night he wasn't even able to blink he just kept imaging his time with her.

Next day also he sat under the same tree hoping to see her. Just to get a glimpse of hers the devil waited. Patiently.
She came out of the hospital for a stroll, she saw him and sat next to him.... But didn't even utter a word, the devil who is the master manipulator of all can't seem to figure out what that little soul wished to say....he had a lot to ask and say but rather he decided to ask her about something that should't have bothered him...

"Has something happened? You look down today" he asked her
"No" she said
"Then wh-..." he was saying as she interrupted him. Such a tiny soul interrupting the devil! That's A SIN but again, she's the only one for whom he makes all the exceptions..

"My mom, she's ...selling my cat" she said while sobbing and that was when she robbed him of his own heart.
He stood up and started walking, he didn't even utter a word to her nor did he showed any sympathy, he just kept walking.... And she thought that maybe he saw his friend... uncertainly that became the truth. He walked till he met her mother who was selling her cat as they can't take care of it, he took it from her hand and paid double the amount to her mother. He took the cat in his arms and held it with immense care, it was the first time when the devil was sighted worrying for a soul.
"Pretty thing you are, huh! Guess will name you....Twila" he said while smiling an unusual expression from the devil

He returned to the same bench and sat there with the cat in his arm she also felt comfortable there. While he was purring the cat he waited patiently for her to return. But as it was already past evening he thought that she might not return. Yet he was happy, happy that tomorrow upon seeing the cat in his arms she'll smile at him again. He was satisfied the greedy the evil devil was satisfied. That may seem like a small deal but for someone so intriguing this was a big change. He had a change of heart but since when did the devil posses A HEART??" Was he Always this nice? Did he ever care about anyone? He asked himself but failed to answer any of the questions. He decided to let these thoughts sink. And think of just one thing precious to him.........her🖤
