I reached home and took a bath. I got out of bathroom and headed straight to my room. My house was not big, it was a one storey building. It had five rooms and my room was next to kitchen.
I got in my room. I had a habit of keeping my things clean so my room was very clean. I got to my bed on sat on it. I started to remember what I did, just a while ago.
"I wonder what they will think about someone like me." Their son had become a murderer. Who would want their children to become a murderer. They will probably be disappointed on me.
It's a path I had chosen myself while being aware that this path would lead me to becoming a murderer. I don't regret the path I had chosen.
I'm finally able to move forward. My time had stopped the day my parents were murdered, I have not been able to sleep properly, always thinking what should I do. I wanted revenge, I stayed coped up in my own little world. Thinking of plans about how I should take my revenge. My thoughts of revenge have bounded me to the past. Now that I had started taking revenge my time have started to move. I can finally move on to the future.
Was it because I was tired? I felt sleepy, my eyelids kept closing themselves. Eventually I fell asleep.
I woke up early in the morning and went to wash up my face. Now it was time for me to carry out the plan for today. I picked up my smartphone and called Harold. He was one of my five classmates who were involved in the incident.
"What's it? It's really rare for you to call me."
"I'm also not interested in calling you. I just called you because none of those three responded to my call."
"I don't care about that. So why did you call me?"
"I'm going to the Capital today so I thought we should have a party together. Can you gather everyone at uncle Martin's shop?"
"If you are paying for it, why not? I will tell everyone to gather at uncle Martin's shop."
"Great, tell them to get there around 3 o'clock." And hung up the phone.
I have gotten them to gather at uncle Martin's shop. Now I had to begin my plan properly. I went to the farthest alcohol shop from my house to buy alcohol. I told them to gather at uncle Martin's shop so I can't buy alcohol from there. Otherwise it would raise suspicion. Besides, he would become my shield who will protect me later on.
I bought 20 bottles of cheap alcohol and this time all of them were of same brand because I didn't need to make them fight each other or something.
Nobody knew me here so it would be helpful for avoiding suspicion. I carried the alcohol bottles to the hideout out and left them there and returned home. I packed my bags for leaving the village and waited for it to be 3 o'clock.
It was around 3 o'clock so I headed to uncle Martin's shop. When I reached there everyone was already there. It seemed they had already started drinking.
"What's up everyone! I don't see the other three." I paused for a while and said "Harold, did you not call them?"
"Hmmm" he was already drunk.
"Of course I called them but it said there phones were switched off." He said while staggering.
"Who cares about those fuckers, let's start the party."
"Yeah."
"But you guys are already drunk."
"You don't have worry about us, we can keep drinking for the whole day."
"Leave them be, come here and help me." Uncle Martin who was sitting on the front of the shop called me.
"Okay."
I went to where uncle Martin was and said "what do you want me to do."
"I heard you are giving them a party again. Just serve them alcohol."
"Yeah."
"Why do you keep wasting your money on them like that, you don't even drink? These guys should be happy that they have a friend like you."
"We are friends so I should do at least this much for them. And... uncle Martin I have a favor to ask of you. Will you drop me to the train station at Gate city on your bike."
"Sure."
The shield preparations is complete. Now, I just have to act just like how I usually do and set the stage right.
I served them alcohol and got them drunk. About an hour later all of them were completely drunk and they couldn't even walk properly.
"Get up and get out of here if you are done drinking."
These guys who didn't even listened to their parents didn't say anything and started to get out of the shop. It's wasn't just today, they always listened to him. I couldn't understand it, these bastards didn't listen to anyone so why do they listen to him? Was it out of respect or for letting them drink without saying anything. I didn't know.
There are things which you can't understand unless you experience it yourself. Perhaps, it was also like that. But I have no need to understand it by falling to their level.
"Tch, these ungrateful bastards. You are going to the Capital and even gave them a party. Yet they didn't say anything to you and just went like you were an stranger."
"You don't have worry about that uncle. About the bill, how much is it."
"You don't have to pay for it. Consider it my treat. It's getting late, we should go or you might miss your train."
"Thank you uncle, I will never forget your kindness."
Yeah I will never forget this kindness of yours you fucking old man. Consider it your treat my ass, you haven't given me my wages for last two months now.
"Hurry up and get on the bike."
"Yes." I sat on the back of the bike and we reached to the train station.
"Thank you for helping me uncle Martin."
"No worries. Then I will get going." And started his bike. I kept looking towards him until he was gone out of my sight.
"Now, time for me to head back as well." On the way to the station I sent a message to Harold that I had left some alcohol at the hideout so they must be gathered there.
I haven't booked any tickets for train. It was just a way for me to remove suspicion of me. If those guys will be gone for two or three days, nobody will care. It was common for them to not go home for two or three days. But if they are gone for more than three days their parents will start to get worried. Eventually they will be found to be dead. When that happens I will become the major suspect. But now I have someone who saw me leaving the village. Even if it's only a little, I will be will be able to remove suspicion from me. Then I will just have to play my cards right to eliminate myself as a major suspect.
I rode on a taxi." To the Enrest village." And returned to the village.
