Just Like Romeo

Nineteen

Habiba laid on the floor looking all drained out, she was bleeding on her lips which were bitten by Sadiq who had tried to kiss her. when she struggled, he bit her hard.

"Sadiq why are you doing this?. Please let me go to my family" She begged, her voice was slowly failing her and her hands and legs were tied behind her back.

"Shut up" He said. "Just shut..." He was immediately cut short by the ringing of her phone.

"What's that sound?" He asked her but she nodded in the negative due to the great fear that engulfed her mind.

"Where is it?" He asked while tracing where the sound was coming from with his ears. He squatted down slowly and found out that the sound was coming from under the bed. He pushed his hand down the under of the bed and pulled the phone out.

"Wow, wow, wow!. You are very smart" he threw the phone roughly at her face. Which made it begin to bleed terribly.

The phone shattered to the ground and he immediately stepped on it until it thoroughly smashed.

"Now how will they find you?" He began a thunderous laughter that made Habiba even more scared.

"But I'm not taking any chances, because I'm sure by now they would have traced you and are definitely on a search for you already. So let's do this" he walked towards a cabinet and picked up a matchstick and a bottle of kerosene.

"I'll set here on fire and you'll burn along with it" He said and Habiba began to cry, for she knew what she was in for.

"Sadiq don't do this, please" she begged. She was extremely scared of being burnt by fire.

"I'm sorry Habiba, you have to die" he poured the kerosene on the floor and walked towards the door which he pushed open. He walked out and poured kerosene at the door step and set it on fire.

"Ahhh" Habiba yelled from great fear, she knew she was going to lose her life today. There was no doubt about that and she can do is beg God for forgiveness.

"We lost the location. But we are here already, but where do we Begin to search" A police man said to Amar who was seated at the backseat along with them.

"We have to find her, you have all tried. Now it's my turn to find my wife" Amar said.

"Let's begin from the houses at the back, I'm sure he would hide her there" he said and a police man nodded in agreement.

They all came down from the car and headed in different directions to search for Habiba.

Amar walked towards the left side of the neighborhood and began searching each houses. "Habiba where are you?" He whispered. He felt extreamly scared, he could feel tears wail up in his eyes. He didn't want to lose her, not when he loved her so much. He even loved her more than he had ever loved Ameerah.

"Help!" He could hear the voice of a woman screaming so he turned arround and faced a place where smoke was in the air.

"Help me!" The lady screamed again. From the way she was screaming, he knew she trying very hard to be heard. He knew she was tired, he immediately ran towards the house which door was looked. It looked like a single room and he immediately pushed it with his leg, making the door shatter to the ground.

"Help me please" he couldn't tell who it was, he couldn't see Habiba's face. The smoke had covered the whole room.

He immediately took off his jacket and immediately tried quenching the fire, which was successful. He managed to quench the one which was by the door.

He ran into the room and saw a woman, whose face wasn't still clear enough for him to see. "Help" he voice faded away, She had fainted.

"Let me help you up" he picked her up slowly but noticed she was chained.

"What the fuck!" He exclaimed while trying his best to yank the chain out of the already broken wall. But while doing that, he hurt himself terribly.

He picked her up and managed to make his way out, but without getting burnt on the hand. He took her outside and laid her on the floor and to his greatest suprise as well relive, he got to see her face and discovered it was Habiba whom he had saved.

"Habiba" he said while hugging her calmly.

He picked her up and Immediately ran over to where the police car was parked. "Open the door" he yelled and they immediately did as told. He placed her at the backseat and they instantly ignited the car and began driving away.

They drove to the hospital in full speed and with no problem at all got her admitted. Amar felt happy as well as sad when he saw Habiba, her body was wounded. She looked very sick and tired. He couldn't help but Blame himself.

* * * *

Thirty minutes passed and the doctor came out of the room with a smile masking her face.

"Doctor how's she?" Amar got up on seeing the doctor and immediately asked.

The doctor Chuckled and said "They are both fine" The doctor said which made Amar pass her a Quizical look.

"They, you must be mistaken. I only brought a lady here and that's my wife" Amar said and she couldn't help but Chuckle once again.

"I'm not mistaken, She's pregnant" the doctor said and Amar placed his hand over his mouth.

"Oh my God" he uttered. "Can I go in and see her?" He questioned and the doctor nodded.

"She's even Awake" the doctor said. He smiled and made his way towards the room in which she was kept and pushed the door open and walked in.

"Habiba" he said, his words held so much emotion that didn't go unnoticed by Habiba who turned her head towards the door where he stood.

"Amar" she said with tears cascading down her eyes as she watched him make his way into the room.

"I'm so sorry" he said while hugging her. "I promise that bastard will pay when I get my hands on him" Amar said within sobs.

"It's Sadiq" she said and he raised his head up slowly.

"Sadiq. I'll kill that bastard" Amar said.

"Guess what the doctor told me?" She asked and he raised his head up slowly and said "That you are expecting my baby?" He asked and she nodded with tears cascading down her eyes.

"I love you" he kissed her wounded lips lightly.

"And I love you too" she said and he smiled while pecking her lips once again.

"Ouch" she said and he chuckled.

"He injured your lips?" He asked and she nodded.

"I'll kill him when I get my hands on him" Amar formed a fist.

"And risk you going to jail?, No way" she said and Amar chuckled loudly.

"I promise you today Habiba that I shall protect you no matter what. I will never leave you" he said and she nodded with a smile.

"And I promise to be your perfect wife" she said and he immediately Engulfed her in a hug.
