Roshni"Please let me go," I screamed for mercy from my kidnappers for the umpteenth time. My voice was now barely audible due to my throat hurting from too much screaming. "Keep quiet," Raghav came into the room with a plate of potato paratha and black lentils in another. He placed the dishes in front of me and ordered me to start eating. "I'm not eating these dishes," I protested, adamantly. O didn't need food from them, I needed my freedom. That was all I wanted from them, not some stupid food. "Then don't. I don't give a damn," he answered and left the room, slamming the door harder this time. I flinched slightly. I didn't like it here, I wanted to go back home. But why isn't Raj coming for me? Please come soon Raj, we need you. Suddenly, I felt my stomach contract violently. I cried out in pain and clutched my it. The pain I was feeling was indescribable. All I could do despite the pain was pray for my child's safety. I would die if anything happens to my baby and if I manage
RoshniI looked around for an escape route. I had to find one soon, but it was difficult for me, but Just when I was about to lose hope about finding a way out, I sighted a curtain over the wall in front of me. A window. My heart raced with excitement as I hurried towards the window. It was small, but it seemed big enough for me to squeeze through. I reached out and pulled the curtain aside. It was indeed an escape route. Without wasting a second, I pushed the window open, feeling a rush of fresh air on my face. I glanced back at the room I was trapped in, filled with darkness and uncertainty. It was finally time to take a leap of faith and escape this place.Just as I was about to climb the windowsill, the door burst "What are you doing over there?" Ajit asked. "I...it's none—" I stopped myself before I could talk rudely to him. If I wanted to get out of the hellhole soon, I would have to play nice and then distract them. "- I'm hungry.""So now you've decided to eat?" He asked.
RajveerIt had been days since Roshni had gone missing. I searched for her everywhere, but my efforts were futile. I couldn't find even a single clue as to where she had been taken. I didn't know what condition she was in. I didn't know if she was well fed there, if she was sleeping properly or even bathing. Of course she wasn't doing any of those, she was not there for vacation, she was kidnapped and that was the reality. She must be very miserable wherever she is, waiting for me to safe her and here I was clueless. Her parents and friends were also very worried about her and never failed to visit the house each day for new updates about her whereabout. Isha's boyfriend gave me his word that he would do everything in his power to save my wife, but up till date, no improvements yet. I couldn't rely on him anymore, his best was not enough. I needed to find my wife and quick. She was pregnant for God's sake! My anger and frustration were fully unleashed now. I couldn't keep them at bay
Rajveer"I will file a report against Sam for kidnap," I told my parents the decision I concluded. "We understand," mom said and dad nodded sadly in agreement. They must be very sad about my decision. I put myself in their shoes and frankly speaking, it would be nearly impossible for me to have my own daughter jailed, but I would do it for her to become a better person. I was doing this for Sam's good as well. "Let's go talk to Sam," dad said and left the room with mom. I trailed behind. Sam was seated in the living room with her head hung in between her hands, crying her eyes out. She looked like a mess and I was almost convinced she was innocent with the crocodile tears she was shedding. They seemed genuine to me, but I knew deep inside me that she was just faking them because she wanted sympathy from me, but she wasn't getting any. Roshni specifically told me it was Sam who had kidnapped and she would never lie about that. I trusted her fully and had zero trust for Sam. It all w
Roshni"you're pregnant?!" the three of them asked with bulging eyes. They looked surprised and it never occurred to them I was pregnant because they never noticed any pregnancy symptoms in me...well, apart from the throwing up - which they thought happened due to them forcing me to eat while I didn't have the appetite. I felt my voice disappear and I couldn't speak but nod instead. My hands were still wrapped around my abdomen protectively. I couldn't allow them harm my child in any way. "why didn't you tell us earlier?" Mr unknown asked exasperatedly. Ajit on the other hand was regretting hitting me, especially in the stomach - his expression told me so. I wondered why though - they kidnapped me! "why do we even care if she's pregnant?-" Raghav asked with a raised brow. "-our job here is to kidnap her and that's exactly what we are doing, all other things are secondary to us. Irrelevant," He enunciated the last word clearly before walking away. I glared at his retreating form
Roshni"leave us," he commanded the men. They were all leaving when he stopped Mr unknown."I left my bag in the other room, get it for me, " he ordered. "yes boss," he bowed slightly and was about to leave when Nick spoke again. "Be quick Samar," he added, earning a nod from mr- not Mr unknown again. He mentioned his name, Samar-Samar? Sam? Wait... Did he just say Sam? Mr unknown is Samar! They were referring to him and not Raj's sister. Oh no! What have I done! Sam must be in so much trouble now and it's all because of me. Knowing Sam didn't have a hand in my abduction made me remorseful for telling Raj all I did. I knew the pain of been accused of something when you are indeed innocent and even though I disliked Sam, I didn't want her to go through that. The feeling is just too painful."Did you miss me?" Nick asked, pulling me out of my trance. The nerve he had! After all he did and was still doing to me. I really thought he changed and foolishly, I trusted him again thin
Third personSam sat down on a roadside bench and sighed in exhaustion. She had been wandering around the city with no where in particular to go. Where was she supposed to go? She had no family left because they practically disowned her. Her friends were all busy with their own lives and didn't have time for her. She felt lost and alone.She was busy crying when suddenly, a thought surged into her. Arjun. Why didn't she think about him earlier? He would definitely be of help - she was sure. He loved her and they shared all of their secrets with one and other. She wiped her tears and recalled Arjun confiding in her how lonely his days of growing up as a kid was, how his parents were never around to take proper care of him, they were workaholics and he didn't have any siblings to keep company with either, he grew up in boredom. She quickly wiped the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes and made her way to her boyfriend's. He would surely help her because he was her last hope. A
Third person"let me go. WHY DID YOU STOP ME?? I want to do this," she broke down in tears and started struggling to get away from the tight grip of someone who was a total stranger to her. "Stop!" he yelled. "what's wrong with you and why do you think killing yourself is the solution to your problem?" Sam turned around and her gaze came in contact with a stranger, someone she had never seen in her entire life. "You know absolutely nothing about me, so don't you dare judge me!" Sam pointed a finger at him in accusation. She was furious at him. Who was he to first, stop her from committing suicide and second, judging her?! "No, no. You got that wrong, I'm not in any way judging you. I just... Forget it. Where do you stay?" he inquired. Sam threw daggers his way and replied. "it's none of your business.""I'm just trying to help you, I promise," he continued. "Well don't. It's not needed," Sam retorted. "I'm not leaving, young lady. Who knows what you will do it yourself after I
