"Rahina.."

"Hm..." I tried to speak in my over-excitedly shaky voice.

"Can you say it for me? Please, just once."

"Kya?" (What?)

"That you love me too."

That's it! My cheeks were about to explode....along with my thumping heart.

"Rahina..... please."

OMG! I couldn't.... I couldn't... I really couldn't....

"Rahina.... I'm waiting."

I was about to pass out.

"Goodnight." And I hung up quickly.

OMG! I wanted to scream. OMG! OMG! OMG!!! I was literally rolling on the bed. He said those 3 magical words eeeeeep! I can't keep him hanging like that, I have to respond too, but I didn't had the guts to say it. So I texted him with shaky fingers....

I love you too ❤️

He replied almost immediately making me jump.
"Thankyou. I'm soo lucky."

Oh God! I'm the lucky one to be honest and then of course I couldn't sleep all night as my heart and brain had gone haywire.

∆∆∆∆
I jumped off the bed to this crazy loud noise. Gunshots?!

"Turn down the stupid TV volume." I yelled. Closing my eyes, I hit my head back to my fluffy pillow but I heard a loud scream.
It was Mom!

What the.....

I hurried out of the bed, a bit still groggy, I grabbed my dupatta and rushed out to see what the commotion was all about.

"What's going...." I paused as I saw 4-5 thug like men in our living room. They even had guns in thier hands.
'Real guns?!!'

Mom pulled me towards her with shaky hands as dad and bhai were standing ahead defending us. Everyone looked soo scared. I was scared and confused too. One of those men seemed familiar and it didn't take me long to realise he was the same man who came to talk to Uzair that day and he told to leave. That man was smirking at me the same way he did that day. It made me shiver.

"Kon ho tum log? Kya chahiye? Dekho, hum acche ghar k log hai. Aasa koi ghusta hai kya kisi k ghar mei? Ye kya gunda gardi hai?!" Dad yelled.
(Who are you all? What do you want? Look, we are all from a good family. How can anyone just barge in like this in our home? What is this insolence?)

That man's eyes were just fixed on me moving up and down as if undressing me with his eyes. I felt disgusted and hid behind Mom even more.

2 of the men then came forward and pointed thier guns on Daddy and Bhai making Mom scream and both the men freez up in pure terror. I wanted to scream too but I had lost my voice mostly because of that man's eyes being dragged on my trembling figure.

"Kya chahiye aap logo ko. Khuda k liye chodo unhe. Jo chahiye wo lejao. Paisa, gehne....jo cheez chahiye tumhari hui. Bas....mere shohar r bete ko chod do..."
(what do you people want? Money, jewelry... take whatever, it's all yours. Just.... leave my husband and son...)
Mom cried. I didn't even had the strength to wipe ger tears or comfort her... I was soo terrified as if my blood was frozen in my veins.

"Kuch bhi? (Anything?)" The man finally spoke.

"Ha...ha...." Mom cried.

"Ok..." He pointed his gun towards me as I gaped at him
"Mujhe ye chahiye (I want this one)

Everyone looked at him equally horrified and Mom shielded me behind her ever more.

"Kya hua....mai kuch bhi le ja sakta hu na....toh mujhe teri beti chahiye"
(What's wrong.... I can take anything right? So now I want your daughter.)
He said grinning.

"Zain lashed at hearing his words but that man pointed his gun over his forehead. We were all scared of our mind. His eyes landed on me again making me squirm. His finger rested on the trigger as he gave me a malicious grin.

"Please.... don't...." I whimpered as my voice hardly came out.

"I'll shoot ~" he sang pulling some kinda leaver above the gun with his thumb.

"No!" I screamed at the top of my lungs shutting my eyes and covering my ears as my heart stopped at the loud noise that echoed throughout.
When I dared to open my eyes and look at my side saying a dozen prayers....
There was no blood, he was fine just sunk on the floor in fear. I was crying by now....Bhai was ok. The man shot the TV...and it didn't existed anymore as the screen shattered to pieces. Relief flooded over all of us.

"I can't guarantee about the next bullet. What's say baby girl? Will you protect yourself or your family?" He said cockily.

I looked around at everyone. I knew my family will do anything in thier power to protect me but if it costs thier lives then how can I live with that? I would rather die myself than to see them getting hurt because of me.

"I'm waiting baby girl~" he sang.

Tears blinded my vision and my family's faces clenched my heart. I had to make a decision to protect them.... even if....the worst happens to me.

"I'll go."
