Revelation Of Secrets
The Start Of Destruction
In the middle of the night, when the world covers it's self with blankets gently tucked away In the comfort of their sheets.
Some stay awake playing in the night because the night mask them covers them giving them freedom which the day never showed.
Just like many other players, a young man in his twenties worn out by the life and its struggles, hides himself In the night. The same night which Changed everything for him.
as he turn one page after another time passed until it was Sunday morning.
But the young man pay no heed to the buzz and colors of the world outside his window. Because all his attention captured by the book in his hands.
Until he paused ever so slightly tears welled up in his eyes and one by one they streamed down his face.
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
He cried and cried, he knew all to well tears doesn't answer questions they don't make you strong but in the loneliness of his house hidden away from the world.
He did not have a mother to whom he'll lie about a headache as she'll soothe him, worrying about him.
He didn't have a father who'll scolde him.
He didn't have older siblings whom he'll hate and love with a passion.
He no longer have a sister who he will fight to death. A brother who will play with him till end.
It wasn't only the book which was sad but a memory which spoke more than he allows his heart to speak.
The only relationship he had not by blood but by promise was ripped away from him by the universe. No one cared how much he bled in the process
It was 6 in the evening normally at this time you'll find me resting and playing with my sister but today was a special day.
Today I am finally going to propose my girlfriend. We have been dating for Eight years.

As I made my way towards the flower shop, I couldn't help but feel shy and nervous thinking about the upcoming event.
Thinking of the perfect proposal, I planned I can't help but wonder her reaction.
I made my way inside the shop.
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
"hello, Nat" says in happy mood
Natalie Evan(Flowerist)
"Hey Hayden. Good to see you here any special occasion or are you just buying for Ana's craft"

"Oh!! than I should do my best in the flower arrangement part. Best wishes"
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
"Thank you"
Natalie Evan(Flowerist)
"Give me a minute. I'll be back in a jiffy"
As I wait for Nat I took my phone to call the reservation place to check how are the arrangements going.
Natalie Evan(Flowerist)
"Here you go a beautiful bouquet for the beautiful lady"
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
"Thanks Nat it's beautiful, how much"
Natalie Evan(Flowerist)
"It's on the house but you have to give a engagement party soon" says in authoritative way.
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
Laugh a little "As you say bye take care"
As I took a cab I looked at the time it was 6:40. In about 10 minutes I reached the restaurant.
Liam Blake (Employee)
"Yes sir, how may I help you"
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
"I have made a reservation under Eloise & Hayden"
Liam Blake (Employee)
"Yes sir please this way I'll take you to your table"
Liam Blake (Employee)
"Your table, Would you like to order something or will you wait for your partner"
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
"I'll wait"
Liam Blake (Employee)
"OK thank you sir. Enjoy your evening."
As I sat their and waiting for her I felt my heart beat going out of control maybe from happiness, anticipation or something I didn't want to give a name yet.
As if already knowing about my internal turmoil Eloise Came towards our table guided by the restaurant employee.
Looking beautiful as always. Draped in grace and luxury.
Eloise Valen (Mc past girlfriend)
Eloise Valen (Mc past girlfriend)
Having a gentle smile on her face
I got up from my chair moved around the table pulling out her chair as it was the most natural thing to do.
She gave me a small smile as she sat down but her eyes, she didn't look at me.
Odd I thought, but I threw the thought at the back of my head as quickly as it came.
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
"You are looking so beautiful, lisa"
Eloise Valen (Mc past girlfriend)
"Thank you"
I felt the odd sensation once again but I crosses it again thinking maybe she is hungry.
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
"Shall we order lisa" I said with a cheerful smile
Eloise Valen (Mc past girlfriend)
"Sure" said in a small smile
As our food came we dine quietly I tired to make small talk but the short and distracted replies from Lisa made me shut up at the end.
After eating the waiter cleaned our table I was going to give the employee the single when Lisa broke the silence.
She looked me in the eyes for the first time today, I was happy but the conservation wasn't what I expected.
Eloise Valen (Mc past girlfriend)
"Hayden I hope you'll listen, and please don't interfere let me complete first, Ok?"
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
"Ok" says in a worried tone but didn't question.
Eloise Valen (Mc past girlfriend)
"I talked to my dad about us, Our Marriage. He said no".
Eloise Valen (Mc past girlfriend)
"I tried to talk to him, but he is adamant on marrying me to the CEO of Tiffany Inc."
Eloise Valen (Mc past girlfriend)
'I tried to talk to him but at the end I gave in"
Eloise Valen (Mc past girlfriend)
"Because what he said is true"
Eloise Valen (Mc past girlfriend)
"Dating and marriage are two different things. I hope you don't mind but your job doesn't make much money you also have a adopted younger sister to take care of. I don’t think we'll work".
Eloise Valen (Mc past girlfriend)
"Hence I wanted to break up with you. And I am getting married next month so I hope there won't be any issues from your side. Try to understand you are a orphan, you don’t have enough money for your own self but on top of that you also adopted that orphan-
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
"Shut the fu*k up. You are my Ex girlfriend doesn't mean you can say anything about my sister"
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
"I don’t make enough money, where were these thoughts when you did shopping every month from my credit card"
Eloise Valen (Mc past girlfriend)
"H-hay-
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
"Shut it. You and your father can go to hell for all I care"
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
Angrily got up from the chair "Waiter"
A few seconds later the waiter came.
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
"Put all the bill on this lady's account, for this dinner and the proposal. Because I am getting a last minute refund"
Liam Blake (Employee)
"Ok, Sir"
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
"Oh! And Eloise Valen who are you to break up with I, Hayden Alan break up with you. Go to fu*king wherever you want with you bastard boyfriend. Poor him got a two face green tea bi*ch like you"
Left from there without even waiting for any reply.
Hayden was sitting on the swing in the park near his home.
It would be a lie if he said he's not hurt. He doesn't want his sister to see him like this because he knows one look at her face and he'll break.
And breaking apart, crying is one of the luxury Hayden Alan can't afford.
As he sat down under the sky eyes carrying weight of unshed tears. A sharp ringtone of his mobile phone brought him to reality.
He took his phone out of his pocket.
As he saw his sister's name. He tried to clam himself down. Pretending All was OK. If only he knew it was just the beginning.
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
"Hel-"
His words got cut, the person on the other line of the phone said something beyond believe. But his body acted faster than his brain running to get a cab but his brain it was as if it had been numbed no thought crossed his head nothing except the few words of the stranger echoing in his head like a movie.

"Hello, Sir I am taking from the H&k hospital. The owner of this mobile has been brought to the hospital and is in ICU could you please come here as fast as possible".
As Hayden reached the hospital he gave the cab driver money didn't even care to take the change back. He ran straight to reception.
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
"I am Hayden Alan. I got a call a few minutes ago about a patient in the ICU"
Su ling
"Thankfully you are here.Come with me."
says with a voice screaming urgency
Su ling
"Mr Hayden what's your relationship to the patient"
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
"I am her older brother and only guardian"
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
"Can you tell me what happened? Why-
Su ling
"Mr Hayden I can understand you but I myself am not aware of the situation you have to wait for the doctors operating on your sisters. If you want to know the details"
Su ling
"For now I'll advice you to try and be clam and cooperation as much as you can"

"We are going to the ER there you will have to sign some documents as the legal guardian. Then I'll take you to the ICU you'll have to wait outside. You have money on you right-
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
"I have money, my credit card" says with a heavy voice Barely holding himself together.
All the process went up my head. I couldn't stop the shivering of my body. My brain previously numb started asking so many questions and I couldn't answer even a single question.
As if on drugs it started creating fantasies of this being a lie but each time as I answer a question, fill a form.
Run with doctors from one end to the other paying for medicines I hardly know about.
Signing documents I know nothing about, even the explanation were going above my head.
I just wanted for this to be a lie. Please be a dream. Please be a dream. So I could call this a nightmare and move on.
I have long stopped praying, never asked for anything. The last time I prayed was on my 12ty birthday in the Orphanage, maybe that's why I am paying the price now. Because I stopped asking.
It's all my fault universe is taking revenge through Ana right because I only have her.
Another medicine, more blood and some new method, reassuring me after each slip she'll be OK, these minutes stretch into hours. I understood what it feel like when time goes slowly but you feel yourself aging, these few hours felt like days to me. Stretching and Stretching with no end.
It feels like I have been running in these hallways all my life from ICU to ER to the laboratory services to the hospital pharmacy.
Not once have I been told what happened to my sister.
As I run and run and run, I understand how old I am, my body shiver and whimper as I push a thought as I coax myself she is my boss, she'll be alright.
She is my sister. She is the strongest.
I never felt more alone, miserable and pathetic in my life.
As I run and run in the hospital getting medicine after medicine to the doctors who take the medicine with nothing to say except a reassurance or just simple words like pray for her. I wish praying was easy.
I feel like screaming who should I pray to when I was never in the list of people who were listened.
I slump on the floor hard. The cold floor below anchors me. It is a miracle that my life is bleeding, in pain, yet I am breathing. A miracle indeed...
I pray, I pray for her life. I pray for forgiveness.
Anything but her. Anything but not her. Not my only family. Not my only light. Not my life.
I just started living. I'll die.
PleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleasePleaseplease
Anything take away whatever you want but not her.
As I wish, As I beg with every breath, the sentences in my head came to halt hearingthe thud the door of the ICU door which swing open with doctors coming out one by one.
I look at them, I dare to look at the world once again with hope, with prayers, with my everything.
But I was rejected once again. Every single word out of the doctors mouth were as if I was getting electrolated.
Osang Yu (head surgeon)
"I am sorry, For your loss. We tried our best, but the patient condition was very critical"
Osang Yu (head surgeon)
"She was abused very badly after she was raped multiple types because of her already present health issues the situation got more and more critical"
Osang Yu (head surgeon)
"We did everything, I am so sorry for your loss"

The police is already here, this is a police case. Samples have already been collected from the victims body and are sent to the forensic lab, so atleast we can assure that the perpetrator doesn't get away.
After saying those words the doctor walked away but Hayden his world was set ablaze.
He wanted to scream. There is no victim here, he didn't want a victim he wanted IIiana Alan back. His sister is a pure sweet 17 years old girl with dreams and life ahead. What do you mean raped? Abused?
This time he didn't slump down his body crashed with thud on the floor. As if his aging body couldn't hold the weight of the words.
Iliana Alan was going to an Amazing Artist. Iliana Alan is not a victim b-but the goosebumps in his body said otherwise the tears from his eyes weren't from his sister winning a trophy, they were telling another story.
A story Hayden Alan, saw on news and said a few words of condolences and moved on. Was now a book he'll never be able to close nor be able to read further... Because this time it was Hayden Alen & A Victims Story.
Because Iliana Alan was Hayden Alan last connection to humanity.
No one noticed how Hayden Alen went rouge, each breathe he took spoke more of rebellion than of acceptance. Because Hayden Alan didn't allow them to notice.
-Two weeks Later-Present Time-
Staying In a village and a Cheap apartment, his mind swirl with the events of the last two week.
After Iliana's death, The following events went in a blur. There was media, the police occasional visits and the people encouragement and pity.
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
The police found the gang as per them the kidnapped iliana while she was heading towards the party place. At that iliana was going to through a welcoming party to the fresher students with the other seniors. They kidnapped her abused her badly than the-they" takes a deep breath "raped her" After they threw her in that condition In alleyway."
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
"They said she was lucky that a passerby found her and send her to the hospital".
Lucky, they called her lucky.
The world rejoiced when the abusers were caught, they were sentence to life in prison. People did little protest and also did ceremony putting flowers after flowers on her grave.
All this happened in two weeks.
Two weeks which Changed Everything, I know about life.
Truth, Which shakes one to the core
With my incoherent thoughts, I am yet again caught by a memory so sweet that it bleeds.
Losing a loved one is like having a wound, which bleeds on its own without looking at the time or place.
Hayden Alan (16 years old)
Iliana Alan(13 years old)
"is this for me" says in a giggly voice.
Hayden Alan (16 years old)
"Yes, go on open it" says gently
After unpacking the gifts.
Iliana Alan(13 years old)
"Book and chocolates. Awesome" says while giggling loudly
Iliana Alan(13 years old)
Runs and give a hug to Hayden
Iliana Alan(13 years old)
Iliana Alan(13 years old)
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, I love you brother"
Hayden Alan (16 years old)
"OK, OK, leave me" says in a shy embarrassed tone
Holding the same diary in my hands, I felt a weight in my heart, pushing back in lump in my throat.
I opened the diary with all the courage I had.
Iliana Alan(13 years old)
"Dear diary, I am iliana Alan and you are my diary of secrets. Shush don't tell anyone´･ᴗ･`"
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
Smiles a little.
The diary was filled with memories and whispers with each flip of the page, the courage I had started slipping, slowly and slowly I reached memories to thoughts to her dreams of becoming an artist. To cute little wishes of taking me out on family dinners with her money.
To buying me a gift. Each written word spoke more and more to me and at the last page was written something which made me cry, the resolve I had shattered to pieces and I cried like a child with no warmth engulfing me. I was reminded once again how alone I am.
Iliana Alan (Mc adopted sis)
"Today brother is going to propose, I wish he gets his happily ever after. Instead, the universe can have anything of mine. Just give my brother a life of laughter and happy endings"
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
Crying heavily, hiccuping and continuously crying.
Days and time moved in a usual pace, more like I stopped caring about its pace until a knock at the door brought me to reality.
I opened the door to see iliana's best friend,
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
*What's she doing here*
Sena Sen(Illana best friend)
"Can I come in brother" says in a anxious voice
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
without saying anything made way for her.
A few seconds pass as sena sat down on the floor in the small apartment.
p.s its just a room with a bathroom and nothing else.
After looking at her for some more time talking a sign that she isn't talking I was about to ask her when-
Sena Sen(Illana best friend)
"Brother Hayden" her voice trembled with tears and fear
I looked at her, puzzled my brain running a marathon on what to do.
but what she said next made my blood turned cold.
She spoke in a scared and trembling voice, each sentence ended with a sorry. Spoke with fear evident. The tremor in her body never subsidising.
After saying all that she said more sorrys but this time I felt nothing at her state. No sympathy, No pity. After a few more minutes she gathered herself and left on her own, not over-welcoming her stay. Not knowing she was already a unwelcome guest.
As she reached the door. I spoke in a cold voice devoid of emotions.
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
"Thank you for telling me the truth, but I don't want to see your face again"
Sena Sen(Illana best friend)
"Of course" says in a little voice coated with guilt.
I no longer allowed myself to wail, when the true murders of my sister are awake.
Living their life in luxury while my sister lost her's to misery.
An hour pass by, in that hour many thoughts and emotions pass through my head and body but the conclusion was evident, Revenge.
As I hold on my resolve to live and to make everyone regret who dared to harm my sister.
Another knock on the door brought me out of my dreamland.
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
I went towards the door. And asked "Who, Is it?"
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
only to be met with silence. I waited for a few seconds before swinging the door open but there was no one outside.
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
*Odd* I thought. I walked out to see left and right but there was no one.
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
Thinking it was a Childish prank I turned around and started walking towards my door.
Hayden Alan(Mc-Past life)
When i felt a sharp pain in the back, before a yelp left my mouth. It was covered by a hand and everything turned dark.
I opened my eyes, only for them to droop ever so slightly. My vision blurry, I looked around with the blurry vision, I was in my room.
Than I felt something on my neck as I slowly looked with my foggy vision, A Rope. When I looked down I was standing on a stool.
My body turned cold than I heard incoherent whispers. Than a guy came in view. From the dim light in the room and my blurry vision. I could make out he was wearing complete black suite and face and hair completely covered with a black sack.
He walked slowly as if he had all the time in the world. looked at me like I was a thing, not a human but an art and he was a creator.
Then I felt the metallic taste on my tongue, I was drugged. My blurry vision, my numb body and mouth and my screaming brain made sense. I felt trapped in my body.
The man comes forward, wearing gloves on his hands, he holds my hands and guide them to the rope. The air felt heavy as I understood what they were doing.
He moved back, like a writer re-reading arranging his story.

After saying those words he single a guy who pushed the chair.
My legs dangled in air. The pressure around my neck increasing, my mind screaming but my body as if it was a foreign object showed no sign of resistance.
The story ended. With another name was linked to the word victim.
The world cried, felt pity and sadness for the victim's brother.
Protest started and ended just like any other Protest. The world moved on. Forgetting as if it was the most natural thing.
The world slept silently until another victim was shown in the light. To the repeat the cycle.
