ACCUSATION
[ In the market of Memphis. ]
"It's feels so hot."
"We can't do anything about that. Hey, have you ever been to Memphis before?"
"I never came before."
"So that means, it's your first time here. Let's celebrate than."
" No, we can't waste money much."
"Hey, don't talk like an adult. we are still kids, you know."
"No means, no. If we celebrate we will not going to buy anything."
"Okay, okay. You win."
"Why are we at the mall????"
"You know, we can get everything from here, which we needed."
[ Entered in the mall, and stop by a clothe store. ]
"Welcome kids. How can I help you?" [ Saying politely]
"We need some clothes. Can you please shows us clothes in his size!???"
"Yes, yes, ofcourse."
"How much this clothes cost?"
"Well only 10 Debens[*] ."
"What it's too high price. We will pay 7, okay."
"It's seems, You kids are not able to understand the quality of those clothes, they are long lasting with a good cotton quality."
"No, no, we will only pay 7."
Dex perspective :-
[ Dex and his some friends, following them from the very beginning]
It's great. Now is the time.
"Hey, everyone of you, listen carefully. " I told my friends what to do.
[ In the mall, Bright and Bond were buying clothes from a shop owner. Suddenly, Dex appeared. ]
"Hey, you two! I finally caught you. Return my money."
"Money? What money are you talking about?"
[ Bright asked Dex]
"Don't play dumb, you cursed."
"What are you taking about, kid ?" The shop owner asking me.
" Cruse stole my money."
"What curse are you talking about????"
The shopkeeper asked me again and I reply -
"He is the curse of Joyful. "
"What!!?? that cursed kid." [ Shocking react]
"How dare you enter my shop??? You bane."
"Hey, don't make a false accusation."
You are trying to protect him, but nobody will going to believe you.
"If you think I am lying, than ask my friends."
"Yeah, we saw him when he was stealing Dex's moneybag and ran away before we caught him."
What, will you do now Bright??? You are in bad position now.
"He always threatened Dex, saying that if he didn't give him the money, he would curse him."
"And, even after Dex doesn't agree, so he stole his money."
"You are all lying, Bright was with me, all the time."
That underdog, trying so hard to protect him, but it's no use.
"So you are telling that, we all are lying, and only two of you are saying the truth."
[ The situation is going out of hand .]
[ People gathered the shop hearing the arguments and shouting caused by Dex]
[* Debens :- Currency used in Land of aaru. ]
PART 11 :-
ARRIVAL
[ At the clothes shop in the mall. ]
Bond perspective:-
We are bargaining with the shopkeeper, for a clothe. At that time, Dex appear.
"Hey, you two! I finally caught you. Return my money."
What is he talking about now!????
"Cruse, stole my money." So he is trying to blame him, with a false accusation.
" Hey, don't make a false accusation." I object but looks like that no use right now.
"Hey, looks that the curse kid. What will we do now??? I already cross path with him, what if I also become a cursed human."
"What a devil, stealing your classmate's money at this age. He will surely become a criminal in the future."
"Why the ruler doesn't kill him???? Than the problem will no longer exists."
[ People started bad mouthing, about Bright.]
What's with that look on their faces!!???
"So you are telling that, we all are lying, and only two of you are saying the truth."
So, they are playing number game with us.
"Yeah, you little rubbish! Give that kid his money back."
"But that's my money. The Lord gave me some."
"You devil! Still lying? Are you saying everyone else is lying and only you two are telling the truth?"
"Just because they are more in number doesn't mean they are telling the truth. Hundreds of people can also tells a bunch of lies, just so they can bury a truth."
"I know you defend him, because you are his slave after all, but trying to protect a thief is not a good thing."
"I am his friend, not his slave, and don't call him thief, when he didn't even do anything."
"What!!!! a slave?" [ Surprising] why is he suprised that much!!????
"He is not a slave, he just don't remember his clan." Bright protest Dex's words.
"Don't lie again, he never told his past, because he came from a slave clan."
Shopkeeper grab my collar and said -
"How dare you enter my shop!???"
He started hitting me with punches, and some people also began hitting both of us.
"Hey Dex, I know you have a problem with me, but that doesn't mean you can hurt Bond, he doesn't even know you properly."
Bright trying to protect me again. But it's not use , nobody willing to listen us.
"Ara…. Ara .."
[ sound, that stop everyone and, a man appear from the shadow of that crowd. ]
PART 12 :-
A HELPER
MC perspective :-
What is Dex thinking??? Why he drag Bond, in that mess. He hates me, but he doesn't even know Bond well. So why!?????
[ People from the crowd, started hitting Bond.]
"Don't hit him, he didn't even do anything."
I trying to protect Bond, but it's no use.
"Ara…. Ara..."
A strange sound come from the crowd, and a man appear with a dark, long-sleeved shirt with a high collar.
I fell a strong and strange aura around the shop, everybody stop moving, it's feels like they all paralyze.
"What a strange word, a group of scum hitting two helpless kids."
"I can't move my body… It felt pain inside." [ Some people giggling with painful voice]
"I frize your all movements."
What is this kind of power!??? I never saw or felt anything like that before.
"Release."
One word from him, and we all are free.
"Why is he hear???"
Some people are wondering, He come in front of me and set some kind of box in my hand and started talking.
"I am a former Faris and a owner of a shop in this mall. I was used for interrogation. When we lie our nuro cells realised special kind of single and this box detect it. If you are going to lie, it detects in seconds and your hand will burn in ass immediately. So only option for your survive, is telling me the truth."
"I am not a thief. It was my savings and some money was given by Lord, the owner of Joyful. And if any one of you trying to hit my friend again, I will surely burn them."
[ His eyes turning into a fire . And every one of them started panicking.]
"Look at his eyes, he is cursed for sure. He openly threatening us and, you still think about protecting him!????"
Some one from the crowd said that to the guy.
"A group of adult, showing their power to the kids and you are telling me, that they are threats."
Every one of them are speechless now.
"If he is lying, than his hand will burn for sure, thats means, he is honest about his statement."
"So you are telling me that, we are lying." Dex go against that judgement.
"Is that so!!??" [ With a deep voice.]
"Than how about, you all do the same test as well."
That strange man gives his suggestion.
"You and your friends, give me your hands. But remember, if any of you tells me a bit of lie, your hand will going to destroy for sure."
"Umm…. We don't do anything, and also this is none of our business."
"Doesn't you all accusing him just a moment ago. Those who pass the aligation, need to prove them or it will be reconsider as a much higher crime in this society. It's the common rule of society, where you live kids."
"He is cursed. " [ Dex yelled]
"That's again, curse or not, that doesn't make any point for him to steal your money."
That man put the box on Dex's hand, and instruct him to give his statement. But Dex is completely silent.
"After that it will be your turn."
[ He indicate his finger towards a friend of Dex. ]
"We don't know anything." They said that things and ran away with fear.
"They ran away and your silence prove that, who is guilty here. Now tell me you accept that what you said before was all a false accusations."
"Y… ee….. Yes. "
Dex answer with a trembling voice.
"Look into my eyes kid, and listen."
"Form the starting, I already know, that you are all lying. That box on your hand is just a useless tool. Knowing about the consequences, that kid able to give me a brave and satisfying answer, because he is telling the truth."
"You trick me!!" Dex shouting with anger. That man grab is hand, and give him a mark.
"If you ever do anything like this again your hand will going to cut in half because of that mark. And this time I am not lying . Now get lost from this mall. " [ With a dark voice]
"Thank you Mr, for saving us."
We thank him for what he did for us.
"You two also disappear from my shop, I am not going to sell you any clothes."
I understand that a long time ago.
"Come to my shop, I will give you everything which you needs."
That man offer us.
"Don't You have any problem??? I am cursed."
"You are a coustomer, and I am the seller. I want to sell my products and you willing to buy that. Is there any other more reason needed."
[ They go to that man's store, and buy everything which they needed.]
"What!!!?? 40 Debens [ Surprise] . That's way too expensive." Bond reacts loudly.
"30 Debens for my help."
We have to agree with him, because we don't have any option.
[ While walking toward their destination, home. ]
"He is a good man." I told that to Bond,
"What Good!???? He is also same as everyone. When he saw our money, he decided to help, so he can get that money. And thanks to that man, we don't have any Debens right now. "
"But still, he is good man, nobody never sell me anything after knowing my truth."
"I am relieved that, their is no problem for now."
"Yeah, that's true."
[ From far behind, some people in darkness]
"We finally found you, 3k34 ."
"Shall we proceed now, boss?"
"No it's dangerous now, because of that guy."
"So we have to wait… ha."
[ Bright and Bond are relax now but, they don't understand that a much bigger storm, coming in future. ]
