The Demon Art

the new student

10years later.......

(side play unknown conversation.)

Somewhere in the big city a phone rings in the room that seems like an office full of CCTV displays monitors and a man watching them in the dark was calling someone. After some time of ringing finally someone picked up and the man told “your mission there is complete next is Chahara under 2 rulers, details, school transfer and residence is ready. You want me to send assistance or not.” That man had a bold sound. On the other side of the phone a voice answered “no need, but don’t forget there’s someone with me.”

“ok don’t worry, I know it. But this time the mission is going to take a long time, so be careful”.

“yeh, ok”. Person put down his telephone. The door of that room bangs open and someone enters with a quite scared and not satisfied expression.the person started to yell standing beside the man “boss! Boss! Are you sure to send him on this mission, you know the truth is dangerous and what happens if he chooses to betray?”

“assistant Leo, don’t worry he don’t look like but he’s more loyal than any other with us. You can send those document and expenses as fast as you can,”. “But sir…….everyone knows only two things about him one is his name and another is Chahara but no one knows what’s it's about him……..”as Leo tried to speak more of it “LEO, don’t worry too much. And you can leave I got a lot to do” boss person shouted out loud his name and spoke on irritated voice and send him away.

“grandma kio, I am closing this radio. How are you doing? I’ve bought some food for you. No more sweets, okay”. Enters the girl about 18 or 19, very beautiful with the cutest smile ever. “how is your training going?” Kio took the box in her hand and started to eat. ``and did you complete your debt’s.” grandma looks toward her with concerned eyes. She smiles and tells “don’t worry about me. I’m fine. And about debt it’s still remaining”. Both looked down abit sad. Then she stood up and said, “Grandma eat it. I am going to school”. She moved toward the door and turned with a smile and said “don’t tell your son that I visited. He’s really stubborn and got something against me.”

She smiled, took the bag from the door table and left for the school.

“Aldheran, take care.” Grandma came to the door pushing her wheelchair and shouted. She looked back and waved bye.

This girl is Aldheran, an orphan with parents. Her parents left her when she was 10. One day she returned from her hostel to home happily to meet her parents after so long to enjoy holiday together. She found that she is out casted from her family. They never missed them. Her step mother convinced her father with the word of her belated mother and on very first night of holiday she slept in her room heartbroken. Totally sad and lost.next morning when she woke up she found that her parents were gone. When she became 12, debtors finally came knocking door for money pay back. Then no one saw her for next two years. She was disappeared. Later she returned all ragged and hurt. That grandma found her and helped her. Grandma kio was her neighbor since her childhood, so she supported her. She started a part time job with school and continued her training session. Her debt is too much for normal people specially people of poverty like her. But not too much for those person with regular job.

Sat on the chairs of hers near the window and just a few times later the teacher enters in class. After the greeting for the teacher everyone sat down.

Teacher with a really happy face said that “from today a new student is going to join you temporarily so we can help each other. Okay!. Please step forward and introduce yourself”.

With that word a boy enters the classroom. A really cute boy, really wow one, enters having blue eyes and crazy black hair. Everyone in the class was amazed to see this boy in their class.

Boy stood in front the board abit slowly tells “I a…am Prieon..Nong Prieon….Nice to mt…..meet you a…all.

Teacher told him to sit on the empty sit near Aldheran’s. every student of the class were looking at him. Especially girls were staring at him. He was tall, smart looking, handsome complexion. He sat near the Aldheran and facing towards her “hi” with a smile of shyness. Teacher took everyone’s attention and the class began. They shared book and after sometime recess bell rang and teacher went out. As teacher left all girl surrounded him. Aldheran was still sitting there seeing all these. All of the sudden prieon looked toward Aldheran and told “Lis.tern, tak…e me to ca…canteen. I am… q.uite hugy…..hungry, co…come on let’s … go”. All girl were silence. He got up and pulled her by her hand and left the class. Aldheran was quite confused. After they reached hall way he said aloud “sry…soo..sorry, I didn…didn't mean to.. bt..but…….” he released her hand. “its okay, come I’ll take you to the canteen, but run they will see us”. She suddenly catches his hand and ran as she saw girls of class reached there searching for them.

“prian come here is the canteen. What will you eat”. She leave is hand and showed around. “a..no….my nme…name is Prieon, nt..not Prian”. “let's take the noodles” Aldheran totally ignored his words. Prieon also bought same. Moving toward to sit Aldheran told “come on adjust with it. Your name is quite outside the box to pronounce it. I’ll try but it’ll take time.” Prieon told nothing and they started to eat. “oh by the way I’m Aldheran Siri Aldheran”.

“Is it fn…fine if i.. call y..you Siri.”

“Yeh, I don’t mind it at all. Though no one calls me that at all” They enjoyed the canteen noodles and left the canteen. Aldheran took him to show school around.

“So Prian…:Prien….no..pr…..whatever… Tell me your plan after graduation .” she asked, jumping with a smile around the ground facing towards him.

“Maybe I will travel a long tour around the world after….”he stopped without the completion of the sentence and asked back “and what's your plan after this”.

“Me I’ll earn money if I stay alive that is”. She ran toward the big hall of musical instruments with a smile and after that all the clubs in school were visited by them. “so, you are not local. Maybe from abroad. Tell me where from. You really sucks at speaking fluently and your assets are not proper. So where from”.

Prieon just looked densely and tried to change topic “yeh! Nt..…not frm..from here. So wy..why earn ..many money.”

Aldheran was paused and she slowly told with smile

“Since childhood I have tried to change myself a lot, but the person doesn't change, just the path is changed. So to change neither I got to earn money. Right?” Listening Aldheran prieon was suddenly gazed and strangely looked, nodded head and smiled a bit as if he remembered something.

“anything wrong” Aldheran shaked him. He raised head with smile and told “I’m fne…fine”. They both heard the bell and headed toward the classroom. All the girls were looking at Aldheran very furiously. Prieon looked toward her and told “it’s so good to meet childhood friend after such a long time” so that everyone could hear clearly but pretending to be normal conversation. Aldheran understood and replied with only a big smile of satisfaction. Everyone's face changed drastically. Teacher entered and started class.

“I’m really happy to meet you Pri….anyway. Thank you for today. Bye!”. She waved hands toward him.

“yes. Mee..tooo.” he waved back at her and they separated their ways to home.

As he was moving through the park he saw his class boys surrounding him. Not to mention they were clearly the bullies. Prieon just stayed quiet and listened to them. After a long babbling to get him down seeing not afraid Prieon one of them tried to hit.

He flew a distance away and everyone shouted “oh….monster is here. Run.. runn..”every one escaped away. Prieon checked his whole body and face and told to himself ‘not …m.me’ and turned to another side Aldheran wan was standing. “did they hit you. Are you fine. Are you hurt.”. Aldheran was looking carefully. “no..no.. you sed..saved. me..” Prieons tried her to avoid looking like that.

“hw..how com..you ar…are hre…here”. He asked with a bit of a strange expression with a calm voice.

“oh! I just happened to notice they were following you so, I just couldn’t ignore”. She with proud and happy face. Happy enough to bring a smile on his face.

“thks…thanks aklt..a lot". he showed the respect and again went on their separate ways.

Aldheran reached home and found many people waiting in room for her. Her smiley face till now the dancing spirit is all gone.

“time limits already exceed for debt so we are taking this house as payment”. A gross sound which was bold and full of greed passed through Aldheran’s ear.

“Any objection” was the voice she heard and could not speak a word. She tried a lot pleaded and even so she was chunked out of her own house.

She could do nothing and went to her training center. That day the trainer was absent so she had no other choice but to go to her part time job with the belongings of her which was in the training center. She was now all sad and angry. As she reached her job place it started raining.

She ran inside and stood near a lady of nearly middle aged and told “Sister Beliza, I am quitting my job today”. Beliza turned toward her and asked if something was wrong.

Aldheran has been working in this convenience store together with sister Beliza who was the owner of this store and likes Aldheran very much.

“Thanks for your concerns till today. Nothing’s wrong. I am fine. I just want to quit” Aldheran Forced out some words and tried to leave.

“wait! This is your payment for work till half of this month. Don’t forget to ask me for help if needed. I'm here. Okay!”Beliza placed her hand with money towards her and gave a gentle smile of love.

“Thank you Sister Beliza. I’m off!” Aldheran went away with some hundreds on her hand and a long bag on back that she collected from the training center. No one can clearly be sure what bag it is but it was a bag of swords. She trains sword fighting in her training center.

She was walking all soaked in water and wet walking through her own memories of past and childhood. After long surf through memories and road she arrived the Chahara bridge. She can't even turn to grandma Koi. She had already helped her alot so aldheran didn't wanted to ask for anything more.

She climbed up to it and facing toward river she tried to kill herself. But she suddenly heard words “do..don’t die I w…..” she looked around and realize the words were from her heart and memories left. She changed her mind from killing herself and tried to walk away.

But her bad luck kicked her and she got unconscious and fell on the river side.
