The Saint




Crrrrsh! With a single hammer blow, he crushed his opponent’s head. In the middle of the night, at a remote corner of a sugarcane field, he completed the violent act without a third-mind knowing about it. There is no sound around; complete silence! The victim did not even cried like hell when he was hit by the hammer on his head; fell with a thud sound on the ground. Slowly, he removed the old cloth pieces out of the victim’s mouth and closed his eyes looking into his face with love. ‘Old friend… Bye for now!’ Let us meet in next life. Don’t worry! I won’t let you forget the heat and the chase that you gave me in this life. Then he had that naughty smirk on his face which he displays only when he is satisfied with his work. He pulled the body in to the sugarcane field for a few meters and dumped it in a pre-digged grave filled with rock salt. ‘Perfect combination bro; you won’t even smell bad. Look! How I am taking care of you… even after your death. This is what is called responsibility, for which I am known for.’ Again, he smirked with self-satisfaction and looked around to confirm that he is the only one left on that spot.
He is wearing a matching cotton trouser and shirt. His unshaved beard look is adding some roughness to his face; otherwise, he is cute like a button. He put his shirt in and is wearing black formal shoes. One can look at his hands and can estimate what sort of sculpted body is there behind those cotton garments. His looks are sharp as his mind which acts fast. He learned most of the survival skills very quickly that his contemporaries took years to learn. He is not handsome but he never leaves those who mess with him. For outside society, he is an IT employee working in a small company. But his interests are elsewhere. 

Most of the people who know him don’t know that he leads a double-life. Survival is the name of his game. And for that, he will do anything. You may question what in the world is forcing him to lead a life like this. Yes! The answer is his political background. He is not a people savior. But, he dedicates his skills for those activities which he thinks are in alignment with his political backers’. 

Since his childhood he is trained for this kind of activities by his benefactors. He is loyal to them since then. He knows what is right and wrong. But, he never lets his emotion chose what is right for him every time. Whatever he benefactor choses, he follows that without asking questions. He puts himself in different kind of dangerous situations to achieve the goals of his benefactor. With his skills, he can earn a good amount and can lead a happy life. No! He won’t do that for himself to further his selfish goals! But he does it for his benefactor.

Like, lust, and love are trivial for him. Revenge, vengeance, and violence are not his friendly thoughts. He won’t live for himself but for his benefactor; but you cannot call him a slave. It is because he does what he is told for his own survival. 

Wiping out someone from this planet is not his pastime. But he does it when is forced to do that. He is quick and fast. He is capable of bringing war to his opponent’s doorstep within a few seconds. Yet, in most of the situations, he restrains himself. ‘Balance’ is what he knows how to maintain well. And he helps society through his benefactor to maintain that ‘balance’. 

Would you like to know who his benefactor is? God! He does everything [bring balance in society] for HIM and for his own survival [further his own survival prospects].

And he is identified and called by this society as SAINT.
