Aryan (Sawan) crept out of his room. The house was silent, except for the faint sound of utensils from the kitchen. He stealthily made his way to the kitchen and saw his mother cooking. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. His mother wiped her hands and went to open the front door.
This was his chance. Aryan quickly slipped into the kitchen. His eyes fell on a bottle of rat poison near the refrigerator in the corner. The same voice echoed in his mind—"Before they kill you, you must eliminate them!
Without thinking, he poured all the poisonous liquid into the pot of vegetables. As he turned, he grabbed a sharp knife from the shelf. Just then, his mother returned to the kitchen. Seeing the gleaming knife in Aryan's hand, his mother was horrified.
Sawan! Son, what are you doing? Put the knife down!" His mother was terrified and moved forward to stop him.
But Aryan saw something else. He felt that his mother was going to catch him and force him to eat the poisoned vegetables. His mother's face looked like that of a predator. "Stay away from me!" Aryan screamed. He pushed his mother hard and, brandishing the knife, ran out of the house.
He ran wildly down the street. His lungs were burning, but he didn't want to stop. Running and running, he reached a deserted edge of the city. There, he sat on a stone and began to cry uncontrollably. He couldn't understand why his life had become like this.
Then, two figures emerged from the darkness. Before Aryan could understand anything, the two strangers grabbed him from behind. Aryan tried to break free, but their grip was too strong. They dragged Aryan and threw him into a black car.
Due to terror and exhaustion, darkness began to cloud Aryan's vision. He fainted in the back seat of the car. He didn't know who these people were—the police, or thugs sent by his father, or perhaps those "seven-faced" people the doctor had mentioned.
