On My Way: The Demon King Made Me His

A month passed by on earth, and Milan lost track of time, blending in perfectly. She learned what it is like to a sales executive. Something she had never known before living thousands of years. She was making it a mess at office but loving the work. She felt excited to make money on her own. She was the happy go lucky in the office literally cheering up everyone except meeting her targets but the management still liked her for boosting up others.

"Fariya let's go," she said one evening as they got out of work. Aizen had to work overtime hence Fariya was let out free. Milan took her to a mall she wanted to visit and played some arcade game she found very interesting for sometime. Then she asked Fariya what she wanted to have for dinner. But Fariya was open to anything. Milan took her to a traditional restaurant that served authentic Asian cuisine.  They ordered some good green dishes and health drink. Fariya also asked for some fish and they waited for the food. Milan had bought a phone and was exploiting it. 

To Fariya living with her new housemate unexpectedly turned out to be fun. Every minute was filled with happiness and roaring laughter. Also seeing how stupid Milan can be sometimes made Fariya enjoy stuff even more. "Are you even from earth? How can you not know this?" Fariya would ask her everytime Milan would end up doing something wrong especially when asked to cook something.  But she really was great in one matter; cleaning. Fariya get often mesmerized at her skill unaware how Milan used her power to clean everything spotless. Hence Fariya divided chores easily, kitchen herself and cleaning for Milan, laundry and shopping both and for bills, split them. But Fariya asked her to not pay her rent. Fariya felt glad to have someone around and did not want money for that. She wished she had met Milan earlier and never got physically involved with Aizen. She was afraid of what might happen between them if the feelings are not mutual and she still had to develop them even she did fall for him. She wanted to feel the same thing he has for her and she was trying really hard.  More importantly she did not wish to hurt him at any cost. 

The food orders arrived and was served properly by the waitress. Milan kept keeping things on Fariya's plate, asking her to eat healthily since she often skipped breakfast before work. 

The bittergourd was the only plate left to be completed and Milan looked at Fariya, raising her brows. "Flip a coin?" Fariya asked her. 

"Tails," Milan called it. And sadly, it was heads and Milan had to eat what she ordered for Fariya to stay healthy. "Noooooooooooo...." she said and Fariya rolled on the floor laughing.  She helped Milan two three pieces but not more. The bittergourd didn't taste that bitter since the spices,grated coconut, green chilly and sspring onions were sauted along. Milan turned run and got a running nose since it was too spicy, eating the chillies along to not get the bitter taste. She had tears streaming down her face. 

Fariya ordered her a full jar of falooda and ordered a mango double scoop for her. She suddenly wanted to meet Aizen. Ice cream reminded her of him and their good old days. 

"Let's drop at Aizen's workplace for couple of minutes before we return alright?" She asked Milan and she agreed with the idea. It was almost 8. PM and Fariya bought dinner for him, ordering his favourite szechuan fried rice set with beef dry fry.

He looked stressed and hurting his head working in front of the computer all the time. Being a Software developer is never easy and demands so much of your time and health. 

"You love cooking, why don't you become a chef," Fariya asked him.

"I love programming too, it's fine, It will be fine," he assured his love. She smiled at him as he had his dinner.

Milan sat waiting in a cafe looking at phone for Fariya outside the building in a small cafe that sold only donuts. She wondered about what would be happening back at home. She wondered whether they really conducted her sister's funeral while she is developing inside a human womb. "It can't happen," she said inside her head. She developed an urge to quickly pay her parents a visit but she did her best controlling herself,  finding it necessary to keep an eye on Fariya waiting for the symptoms of pregnancy to show and make her give birth to the child afraid thinking what if Fariya would choose to abort instead. Hence Milan had to stay here and make sure she keeps Fariya company and convince her

to be a mother. Since this is the final chance Aqua could have to come back to life, though it is going to be very few years. 

Milan changed her mind and sat there with a straight mind. "Wait patiently  they show up here," she told herself. "You have already been visited by Aiden and he defends would have informed about the situation, just don't commit anything stupid here and stay alert," she warned herself. Suddenly someone started playing a guitar inside the cafe, shocking her. She then listened to it carefully and started enjoying it. The weather slowly began to change again.  The wind blew strongly and caused several damages destroying many billboards. Milan quickly stepped out of the cafe and looked around at the sky. The news began to report about a cyclone hitting the shores soon from the ocean. 

"Not again," Milan murdered and walked to Aizen's office to pick Fariya and go back home quickly before they get caught in the middle. People hurried home and rushed into the transports to reach home soon. She called Fariya but she did not pick up the call. Milan then took the lift and went upstairs. Aizen was not seen in his desk. She then took the stair and saw Fariya and Aizen sitting on the stair, smooching. "Ahem," Milan cleared her thought and stopped the couple. She informed them about the cyclone about to hit the city and too Fariya with her at once. Aizen rejected the offer to take him home and stayed back at the office with his other colleagues saying it would be fine to stay at workplace than be home alone. 

Milan hurried to make Fariya safe managed to get a cab. The driver drove pretty quickly since people kept booking him through the app and dropped them off in front of their door. Faroya paid and hurried inside the flat. 

"Ok we are safe now, don't panic, what happened? It's just another weather condition," Fariya calmed Milan down. "Why are you nervous?" She asked her. 

"I don't know, probably because later time I was stuck on the streets alone, it ffrightens me," Milan lied. 

"Relax," Fariya said and quickly changed her clothes into comfy pyjamas. She made Milan change and they decided to watch a movie. But Milan was occupied. She took the chance to go to washroom and quickly apparated to the terrace counting the time. She only had maximum of ten minutes and have to return back home. Milan observed the sky did a quick mediation to search the skies. It was not a human's magic, but the magic of a weapon. She felt a soul getting stronger. And blending with something she didn't know about.  The lightening hit the ground and thunder shook the world with its loudness. People began to shut down everything and hurry up and stay safe at home. Everyone began to put down their blinds and curtains and tried their best to make the house sound proof stuffing things in the ventilation to not let anything happen to the elder listening to such strong thunder striking for every ten minutes. 

"Ok what phenomena is it this time? Why is a soul coming back to power, whose soul?" She wondered and searched hard. Then Milan felt something familiar travelling in the atmosphere.  A crystal surrounded by the dark fumes. Milan quickly identified them. The crystals have entered into the soul for support, to develop a life. "Huo'er's soul," she gasped. "And it has worked out in the end, you chose him, until the end," she said looking at the sky. She could hear Fariya calling for her with her sensitive hearing power and apparated back to the washroom and flushed the water. Then she washed her hands and stepped out. "I had constipation, " she lied to not get questioned and walked back into the living room to watch the movie. 

Milan's heart felt heavy. But she was glad thinking of her return. She looked at Fariya's belly for a moment and looked away. She couldn't help but wonder what would happen soon. 

Fariya was laughing and crying altogether watch the movie they had put on and kept messaging Aizen. On the meanwhile Milan kept checking the weather and did not want to control them afraid it might affect the formation happening. She decided to watch and wait for the entry. She started counting.
