Gorya, White, and Nai follow the location, they all are very quiet as if they are feeling something, something weird like bad news is on the way. Nai drove as fast as he could but the location was in another province which was very far.
At the same time, Tul was using all his power to transport him there, knowing that excessive use of his power may result in weakness in his body. He had already transferred his power to make the aura with Ajin, which was useless—it was wasted—that bastard Korn.
Ajin, Anya, and MJ were sitting there, restrained when MJ asked Anya and Ajin, "The main question is how the hell he knows where we are living"
"I am willing to answer that" Boss entered with a smirk.
Oh, wait! As you know, in his career, Ajin needs a pocket knife. And it's Time. He was trying to cut the rope when the boss was talking.
"What do you think, Ajin only you guys can attach that fucking location tracker in my car, no no no when you last met me in the cafe, I attached one to your coat as well," Korn said
"Bullshit! I didn't attach any location tracker in your car" Ajin said, sweat covering his face as he kept trying to cut the rope which was binding his hands on the back.
"That Bitch Gorya" Boss cursed
"You are a real Brat" Ajin said standing on his foot as he cut the rope and threw that knife secretly to MJ.
"You think you can keep me here for a long time, restrain" Ajin smirked, and took a step closer to Korn, "Let me remind you, I mean, by any chance you forget that I am trained by you only, coach"
"I kind of imagined this but yes I am your coach" Korn said as his smirk disappeared into a serious face, he threw the punch right across his stomach and then on his face making him fall.
MJ cut the rope and quickly proceeded to open Anya's hand and ran to help Ajin but Korn's man came to fight him first. Anya picked up the bat which was kept there but on that bat, Tul's name was written.
She knows this bat as she was Tul's childhood friend. Tul got this bat on his birthday. he was so excited because he loves Daniel Jacobs, a famous cricket player and Korn knows that so he bought this bat for him. She was surprised because she didn't expect Korn to keep this bat for so long even after Tul left him for years now.
As a man approached her, she kicked that man and started beating him with the bat. MJ noticed and he couldn't help but give her a proud smile.
Ajin throws a punch on Korn's back and kicks him onto the empty boxes. Korn is not old enough to fight back with much strength, so he decides to use his power. However, the moment he sends a lack sphere in the direction of Ajin, it is stopped by an invisible shield that Ajin did NOT create.
'who did this?' Ajin thought
When TUL CAME,
Ajin ran to hug him, Tul hugged him back and gave a reassuring look to MJ and Anya who were in that shield, and the men attacking them were all kicked out of the shield. Tul's anger grew longer as he saw Korn thrown there on the empty box.
Ajin was calming him. Anya rubbed his back to calm him down but nothing could stop him right now, His eyes were full of anger. His eyes turned black like full black and a black light traveled from his eyes in the direction of Korn.
Korn started to run as he knows that light can Kill anyone. He ran so fast out of the room but whenever he stepped outside he was thrown into those empty boxes again and again because Tul created a shield there too. Blacklight stops right in front of Korn's face as Korn cries,
"T-Tul, my ch-child" Korn said breathing heavily, "Don't do this, don't kill your father" Korn started acting out in front of Tul as he knew how soft-hearted he was.
"Tul, don't use your power too much, it might kill you," Anya said. Ajin and MJ's faces turn to Anya and then Tul.
"Tul stop what you are doing, right now," Ajin said worriedly.
"I can't, I hate that man" Tul's eyes tear up, "he has hurt my friends, my mom, and Ajin's dad" he added, "even if I die today, I will kill that man" Tul releases the black light from his eyes, straight towards Tul.
"AAAHHHHHH" Korn screamed and died.
On the other hand, Tul fainted. Korn's men ran away.
Ajin and MJ sat beside Tul to wake him up.
"Tul, wake up, you bastard, you can't just leave me like this" Ajin cried.
Anya steps backward looking miserable but she has to do something. She ran away from the room to Korn's room, she knew this house very well because it was Tul's house, when they were young she used to hang out there a lot.
She reached Korn's room which was full of black magic things and also a whole damn setup of Enigma's power he created ages ago when they were young.
She found a piece of black huge rock by which, black smoke was coming out. She picked it up carefully and ran back towards the main hall where Tul was still fainting, slowly dying.
She stumbled into the hall and she hit the middle of the ground with the rock, hard enough to break it, the smoke filled the room, Ajin and MJ choked on it and started coughing hysterically but Tul.. he wasn't moving one bit.
She knew all about it, she started studying Tul's condition ever since he came to live with her. Enigma was a part of him, Tul couldn't live without it and vice-versa, if enigma, the dark power inside him was dying then Tul was gonna be dead soon. She had to do it, however Tul was going to hate it, she had to do it. She can't let her friend die after he is finally reunited with his lover.
She deeply inhaled the spirit of the enigma inside her, hoping, begging it would work.
---
When the air finally cleaned up, the scene in front of him was unpredictable, their eyes widened and MJ shouted.
"ANYA" he ran to catch her as her body was falling, the light slowly leaving her eyes.
"Anya?" White came up from behind, followed by Gorya and Nai, who ran towards the scene.
Ajin couldn't comprehend what was happening, everything around him was blurry and his headache was going to kill him any second now but then he heard movement beside him, Tul, his Sarawat was getting up. Ajin desperately clung to him as he was trying to get his balance.
"What? You okay?" He was okay, he was okay. He kept chanting but Tul wasn't looking at him.
"Anya…" Tul knows what Anya did. She fucking killed herself. How dare she?
NO! WAIT WHAT? THIS IS NOT TRUE! IT CAN'T BE! They just started being truly happy…
"she killed herself…" Tul muttered, don't know to whom, tears welling up in his eyes threatening to flood down.
Tul desperately got up, trying to reach her, but every muscle in his body protested, Ajin helped him get to his feet and towards Anya… Tul was heaving by the time, choking on his tears and saliva, while kept on saying Anya's name in despair.
Anya wasn't dead but dying, she was breathing shallowly taking her last breaths. MJ cuddled her to his chest, tapping gently on her face while trying to keep her awake. It was of no use.
"Anya why do you have to act like a hero all the time?" there was so much pain in his voice, it broke Tul's heart a bit more.
"Care to be my heroin?" Anya managed to smile before finally closing her eyes.
Have you ever heard about "the last 7 minutes"? It says that before you die, you see your whole life in just seven minutes.
Because when we die, we are in pain, and while growing up, our brain trains itself on our past experiences with accidents, but when you are dying your brain feels very helpless and tries to go through every memory to get a solution and that's how your life flashed before your eyes.
Isn't it weird, your whole life in just 7 minutes?
Anya got those 7 minutes too, Anya closed her eyes, but she could still see the vision of when she was a child, as a third person. She and Tul were playing together, her mom and dad always pampered her. She was always rich but she loved to play in the mud with Tul and then fast forward to the night when Tul ran from home and came to her.
It was heavily raining that night, he was standing, dripping wet on her grandmother's doorstep, shaking like a leaf, she hushed him inside and took care of him, from then, till now.
He avoided eating for a few days, just only taking some bites of food at Anya's demand. It took her a whole week to get the reason why he ran from home out of him. When he used to cry in the middle of the night, she was the one who gave him her shoulder.
As they grew up together, enigma's powers increased, she got hurt many times and all those times Tul would withdraw from her, locking himself away from her. But every time she used to break the lock of his room and march inside and tell him, it's not his fault, it seriously wasn't his fault.
She spent most of her life with Tul, and then Ajin came.
She shipped Ajin and Tul from the start and they finally met while she was drunk. The next morning, she woke up to them bickering, she couldn't be more happy.
And then MJ came into her life as a hurricane and made her feel such emotions that she had not experienced before. She got a person to rely on, as she was the one Tul always relied on. However, she had other people she cared about and people who cared about her, her fans, Tul, Jeff, and many other friends, but to be honest, she didn't like all that attention.
Tul was already stressed about his life and she couldn't possibly blame him, the both of them lead a very different life, her friends were also busy with their careers, her parents passed away when she was young and her grandmother was old, but at least she was there, But MJ, he gave all his attention to Anya.
Living with MJ was full of chaos, no matter what the scenario, he never once failed to bring a laugh out of her. She was very angry when he rejected her kiss at Wednesday club, cause hello?? You don't get to kiss a gorgeous actress on a random Wednesday, but when he kissed her for real at that party, she knew, she was head over heels for him, tho MJ was the one who fell first Anya was the one who fell harder, harder than anyone.
Anya might not have many regrets in her life, but what she regrets the most in the afterlife is that she never once said "I love you" to him. She should have when she had the chance, but now it's too late.
___
Anya's head rested on MJ's lap, he was sobbing his throat out, everyone was weeping silently, but only Tul was the loudest, his hysteric sobs were so loud and so full of agony, that they were as painful to hear as Anya's death.
He kept blaming himself, screaming broken words in between heavy sobs "Why was I so stubborn?" why didn't I listen to her?" "She doesn't deserve it, I DO, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED" and started crying so loud, that he should be worried about his vocal cord. But Ajin was beside him all through that, silently rubbing his back, while Tul broke apart.
-next morning-
They had a silent funeral for her, but nobody informed the media, that the actress Anya was found dead, it's always 'actress Anya' for them, never just a person who had feelings or emotions. They had a small ceremony for Korn too, Korn did them bad but she was still Tul's father, Gorya's guardian, and Ajin's mentor.
"Ajin, I want to visit my house" Tul held Ajin's hand while everyone was turning to leave.
Ajin's eyes softened, "I will give you a ride"
"No, MJ needs you"
"but you"
"I am fine, I'll be okay" Tul let out a sob, "I am a normal human now and my dad is dead nothing to worry about" Tul patted Ajin's shoulder and booked a taxi to take him to his home.
Ajin took MJ and Gorya to his car, "I will drop Gorya first" Ajin said. After a dead silence, Gorya said, "Ajin; first let's go to my cafe. I want to show you something"
"Okay"
After a while, they all reached Gorya's cafe when Gorya went into the cafe for a bit to grab some papers and get back to her seat.
"I don't know if this is the right time to tell you this but I have to" Gorya handed Ajin the paper where Ajin's photo was stuck and it was written DEAD.
"Korn killed Tine when he was young and it's your photo" Gorya said
Ajin looked at the papers and MJ snatched them away.
"That little bastard Korn" MJ's anger reached its limit, "At first he killed you in that past, and now in this life because of him Anya killed herself, And now he died, and that too so easily, he was supposed to be torture more"
"MJ calm down" Gorya patted her shoulder.
"But from my vision, there were two people in the truck" Ajin stated
"2 people?" Gorya asked, her face tensed
"I feel like this is not the end" Ajin said
"what do you mean?" MJ asked
"Enigma is dead but it can be created again by someone.....but not Korn... then who?" Ajin said solving the puzzle
"The second person you saw in your vision" Gorya and MJ said in unison, Ajin looked at both of them with a serious face.
"Dang it" MJ said
Ajin knew who that person is, HIS FATHER cause he loves Korn so damn much that he even sacrificed his family for Korn, Ajin's face contorts in anger. He didn't want any other person's life in danger.
"MJ take my car, drop Gorya home, and go to your home okay"
"But-" Before MJ could say anything Ajin was already gone.
Ajin booked a taxi and followed Tul
----Tul's POV----
Tul was standing right in front of his house remembering his happy memories with this house. He used to play with Anya right where he is standing right now, his mother and Anya's mother were friends.
When they played, their moms came to feed them food cause they both liked to play more than eating, Kids they were.
Tul went into the house where a huge garden with a fountain was there well before when he was young it used to be a very beautiful garden but now the whole house looked more like a haunted house, water from the fountain has stopped. The chain has a lot of dust and the walls of the house are full of spider's web.
He remembers whenever he sulked back then Korn always came to make up for him, Tul was very stubborn, partly because he was rich so he always got what he wanted and when Korn said no, he would sulk Korn would make it up for him so that Tul could smile.
Tul went inside entering the living room where his toys were still kept in their place. He used to play with car toys and bike toys. He always teases Korn putting that car and bike toy on Korn's head while he is working, Yes before he worked in an IT company but he was greedy.
His house was like a palace. He went to the room....where Anya and Korn died. He can't control it anymore he drops to his knees where Korn died and cried as if he had been holding it for a long time.
"Papa..." his crying voice filled up the room, "why did you do this? Why did you hurt my friends? Why did you hurt my mom? And why did you..." he pauses, looking miserable, "Why did you turn me into an Enigma?" He was so hurt. He feels like dying but Anya sacrificed herself for him, he can't just die now.
"You love me right?" Tul burst into tears
After a few minutes, he went to Korn's room where the Enigma setup was broken.
He sat on the bed, near a table on which his family photo was kept, Tul was a 2-year-old baby and his mom looked very beautiful and sweet. Korn was smiling too. They were a very happy family.
Tul grab the photo frame but it was somewhat weird to hold it. Tul checked the photo frame and he found a pen drive inside the frame. He ran to a TV in the living room and inserted that pen drive and a video started.
Where Korn and Ajin's father, Amin was lying on Korn's lap.
"Hey, I am so bored with this job now, The IT company is good but I want to do something interesting" Korn said
"What do you like, I mean what are you interested in?" Amin asked
"You" Korn looked at Amin with heart eyes.
Amin blushed slightly, "I am asking seriously"
"I am serious"
"Okay okay how about magic, dark magic" Korn said
Amin laughed it off "you're kidding?"
"i'm dead serious"
"Are you sure cause it's definitely dangerous"
"It won't be if you will learn with me"
"I heard it takes over 7-8 years to learn"
"It's good then, Let's do it"
The video ended, Tul eyes got teary, and he played the next video.
"Korn, you just hit a car," Amin said panicking as they ran to Korn's home after hitting the car.
"I know stop telling me" Korn said aggressively.
"But you didn't even help the kids, they must be dead"
"Can you stop talking for a minute?" Korn said and dial a number, He was an asshole and everyone knows his power too
"Everything is settled, so don't ever talk about these things again" Korn said pushing Amin and going to his room leaving Amin alone there.
Tul's eyes widen in shock, that night when Tine died, He was screaming for help but the truck driver didn't help because of them Tine died and now Korn has cleared everything so they don't go to jail. How selfish of him.
Tul plays the next video, the last one.
"Enigma is just halfway to complete fully and then we will use this power and stay together, forever"
"Let's break up" Korn said
"Huh!"
"Let's break up, I am marrying someone else" Korn said without any expression.
"W-What but you said you would marry me"
"I don't you stupid, I was just with you because of your brain. You are intelligent and smart, a good student so I use you to make a powerful Enigma, Though you are smart but in the end, you are just a loser" Korn said
"Don't leave me please, I love you" Amin said hugging Korn from the back but Korn pushed him out of the house in the heavy rain.
The video ends.
But another video automatically played out of nowhere.
"It's you, Tul, right" It was Amin, He laughed sarcastically.
"I assume you will beat Korn so I already made this video for you in advance, congratulations on your freedom but your father did me bad, HE.FUCKING.USE.ME and then threw me away like I was trash. Someone has to take responsibility, right?" He laughs again
"I will come back and ruin everything you have though it's not your mistake but you have to take responsibility, I will ruin your life. I will come back" His tone became serious and he made a serious face as if he would come out of the video and kill him right there, Tul was horrified and the TV broke on its own. The pieces of TV fell everywhere.
Tul ran out of the house where he found Ajin standing right at the entrance. It started raining
"My father", "Your father" Ajin and Tul said altogether.
They both look at each other.
Damn it.
