The Beast

8

Ebek sighed for the hundredth time, he felt like a bad guy who was kidnapping a sweet little girl but that's what he was right?
He just wanted to show her their future house, how lavish that house was..but a girl like Gulaab?
She wasn't interested in his money.
Ebek scratched the back of his neck and loosened his tie.
She knows how to work me up

"Stop crying already! I promise I'll drop you safely to your house"
She didn't paid any heed to him and kept shedding tears.
She looked so melancholic, at this moment.
Ebek wondered if he can make her smile? He probably can't.
She despised him but Ebek won't be letting her go ever.
He was a selfish man.
He didn't took rejection well and Gulaab's constant rejection was making her more appealing to him.
At first Ebek thought of her as a gullible little girl who can be easily persuaded but he was wrong.
Her morals were deeply rooted inside of her and he wouldn't be able to seduce her.
Ebek got out of his dark thoughts when another sob echoed in the car.

"Will you stop crying flower?"
Ebek inched closer to her, taking her smooth delicate hand in his.

"N-No, don't touch me, you disgusting man"
Gulaab snatched her hand away from his, irking him to show his dark side.

"I have thousand different ways to shut this little mouth of yours and I'm eager to exercise all of them but flower...I don't think you will like it"
His thick finger reached out to touch her plum lips, how he wanted to relish these....

"D-Don't..."

"Sshhh.. I'm not doing anything"
Ebek silenced her with his hand.

The long car ride finally came to it's end when the car stopped in front of a Italian style lavish house...no it wasn't a house it was a mini mansion.
Gulaab couldn't help but admire the exterior.
But the house reminded her that she doesn't belong here.
This wasn't her world.
Gulaab feared this man; his saturnine face; and dark watchful eyes.
She was alone in his house, he could do anything he wanted and she won't be able to save herself.

"This one is our room"
After taking a flight of stairs, Ebek lead her to a master bedroom that was painted a dark maroon shade, the curtains, the duvet on bed, even the plush rugs on the wooden surface were dark.
This room matched Ebek's persona.
Gulaab gasped when she saw her own portrait hanging on the wall in front of the bed.
It was from the day when they first met.
It was a painting but looked too realistic; gulaab couldn't help but wonder who drew her with such passion.

"You like that baby?"
Ebek whispered in her ear, getting amused by her awe.
He got a hint of her flowery scent and immediately back tracked.
He didn't wanted to do something and regret it later on.

"Y-Yes.."
Gulaab mumbled, still staring at the painting.

"I can't wait to paint you while you sit in front of me, it's going to be even better than this baby"
Ebek fantasized of painting her precious smile.

"Will you paint me too? I would love to be your art model...we can even do a naked portrait..I don't mind.."
Ebek teased, hovering over her.
Gulaab blushed a deep pink, this man had no sense of shame.

"N-No I don't want too"
Gulaab brushed past him to make some distance between them.
Ebek narrowed his dark eyes at the distance she just created.

"Don't"
He growled and snatched her wrist, hauling her against his hard chest.

"-Don't ever try to get away from me sweet"
Gulaab shuddered when his hot breath touched her face.
Why this man won't leave her alone?
She felt her eyes moisten again.

"Sshhh Sshhh don't cry baby, I'll drop you home now but you will come back here soon..."
Ebek wiped a lone tear from her cheeks and leaned in to plant a soft kiss on her forehead.

"It has been 3 hours Azar beta, she's not home..."
Azar stood up from his rolling chair.

"What? What are you saying Maa?"
Azar snatched his keys from his office table.
He was already walking out of his office.

"Beta..she had extra classes but it was getting late so I called hania and she...she said there were no extra classes today"
His mom was sobbing on the other side.

"Maa.. I'm coming home alright? We will find her. She will be back.."
Azar cut the call and dialed Murtaza's number, briefing him about the whole situation.
Azar was now driving towards her University.
He was driving way past the speed limit but he didn't cared at the moment.
His sister ...

After a short drive, he finally reached her now closed University but the security guard was still there.
The security guard rehman knew Azar because Azar was the one who offered his brother a job at his company.

"Azar sahib aap..?"
Rehman walked towards him, noticing how tensed he looked with his clenched jaw and frowned brows.

"Rehman, did you saw Gulaab today? When did she leave the university?"
Ebek asked sternly.
He was losing his marbles slowly.

"Azar sahib, Gulaab bibi left the university at around 12:30, there was a black car...I don't know who..."
Ebek frowned, none of his cousins picked her up, so, who was this person?

"Who was in the car? Did you saw that person?"
Azar asked anxiously, running a hand through his already messed up hairs.

"Yes..he had dark brown hairs and matching eyes. He was very handsome..."
Azar glared at him, now what he will do with this useless information?

Back at home, they all were gathered around the living room.

"Did you called all of her friends?"
Hamid asked. Azar nodded.
He had already done all of that.

"Let's go to the police station"
Murtaza suggested, even though he knew that the police won't file a report this early.

"Yes.. let's go"
Just as they were about to go, the living room door opened and there stood
Gulaab.
