The Acceptance

Newz FLASH

Marco's pov

How could I bring the wrong girl?How was that possible?How could I be so careless?What would Aarhan think of me?I can't even kidnap someone properly!k********g is one of the most basic things and I can't even do that?

Thinking all these, I walked back and forth in my room.I went back home early from my office as I was feeling down.Feeling useless, I went out of my room to take a shower in the toilet which was next to the kitchen.A burnt smell was coming from the kitchen as I walked towards the toilet.I went in the kitchen.

BOOM

Something exploded.To my surprise or not, it is usual for our microwave oven or oven to explode.It might not be normal for girls who bake or cook-but it's normal if you are living with five guys and each one of them takes turn to cook every day and uses the microwave oven or the oven and finally and successfully exploding it!

"Which one exploded today?The oven or the microwave oven?"I questioned the guy in front of me. As a reply "Heyy yo!When did you come?"Alex said or asked."Didn't notice you in there bro!" Lucas voice from the back echoed through my ears. "Yea...course you all didn't see me who came into this house a few hours ago."I said with a disappointed voice.

"A few hours ago?Seriously?You want us to notice you coming in the house which was a few hours ago when nobody was home, Marco?"Joel said while eating McDonalds nuggets.I went to take one of them from his hands when Marco came into the kitchen.

Yes.I know that.Another Marco in the same house?The name Marco is already quite a rare name for a guy and there you go.Two Marcos in the same house.

Marco is/was the 398th most popular boys name. In 2021, there were 781 baby boys named Marco. 1 out of every 2,382 baby boys born in 2021 are named Marco.

Yes.That is a fact you didn't want to hear there. But that is a fact of 2021.You or me didn't know about the number nor that fact 25 years ago.And yet, you found us-Marco me and Marco him.



"Hey Marco!" said Marco. As a reply , what else could be replied?I said "Hey". "Look who's clashed into each other! It's the Marcos!"said or cheered Alex as if it was a soccer game.I know that living with these guys are so boring and lame...but do I have a choice , for now at least?

Highway to hell by AC/DC broke my thoughts.After a few verses,I realized it was my phone ringtone.I rushed to the dining table as it was the place I placed my phone before going to the kitchen.I was only able to hope that it was a call from my dearest mom who'ss daring or my precious sister who I really miss. Turns out it was Aarhan.

"Hey...I have got no time and this is very important, so listen carefully!"he went straight to the point as usual.He continued "It isn't like no one knows about 'The Cobra' gang. We have murdered and took whatever is rightfully ours, no matter what it takes.Everyone in the world knows 'bout 'The Cobra' , so international flash news tommorow:A teacher belonging to an American primary school has been took hostage! Lives of citizens who have settled in New York will be taken together with the life of the American teacher if Aniz Serkhan Shah isn't given exchange to 'The Cobra's' by tonight! If Aniz Serkhan Shah is not in the hands of Arhan,the leader of 'The Cobra',then America will be hit by bombs and it will expand to other American countries,Asian, Europe, Africa and Australian countries!That is flash news for tommorow and you shall report this now!Don't do any mistake in this job;this is the only way I can think of and if needed-no, tae a video of Qasifah pointed a gun on her head and announce the news officially in tv shows, news and all social medias and when I mean all, it's all.Got it? I know you did!Good luck anyway and good night!"And then ended that call.

Just so that i don't miss anything he says, I always record his calls.And just like any other calls,this was also recorded.

I took an immediate shower and left everyone at their places.I took my black Royal Enfield bullet motorbike and went back to my workplace.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just as I entered my workplace, I ordered my colleagues such what Aarhan told me. Bringing a photographer along with me , I dashed into the room where Qasifah is kept.I took out my gun and grabbed Qasifah towards me by her hand to my chest.I pointed the gun in my hands towards her head.I pressed the gun roughly on her head so that she will feel pain and scream.

"Let go of me.Fucking let me go!"She screamed. Right after I knew that the cameraman has started the video, I said;"Shut the f**k up! And listen everyone!Especially you Serkhan Shah!If your daughter, Aniz Serkhan Shah isn't in the hands of The Cobras, then you shall know that woman will die first, then we will bomb New York City and every American, Asian , African, European and Australian countries will be exploded one by one!Take this as a warning Serkhan Shah!If Aniz is not in or hands by tommorow night, then remember that when we catch you, you and your daughter will die in a very yet the most cruel way anyone could die!We will be waiting fro you Aniz Serkhan Shah, at your workplace."I dropped Qasiafh and left the room right away.

Behind me the photographer came along."Where should I report this to sir?" He asked." Every news channel in the world and all social medias!"I said in a deep voice yet in a rushing and angry way.He left and I walked towards the elevator to Aarhan's office. to inform him.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I felt real tiredness that I just wanted to sleep.I parked my bike and took the elevator to my floor.The house was dark when I entered the house.I right away collapsed on the couch after putting my helmet on the tea table in front of the couch.I switched on the TV and soccer game was on.I took trip to the kitchen to take a drink and went back to where I was.

I saw Alex coming out of his room."Yo!Where were you all day?" He questioned me." I had some important work to do"I said while groaning."Did you watch the vide on the Internet? Bro The Cobras are back!Damn they just ended a war 2 months ago and now this!"

"It's not in our hands brother!"

" We can only hope that this Aniz girl gives up to them and end this!The Cobras are man of their words.No one can be trusted." He said and left for the toilet.

While I was taking sips uif my drink and resting my back on the couch, everyone in the house dashed out of their room.Bullets were shot into the air.It went silent again.The bullets woke everyone up and left everyone in shock.
