72 Hours✓

(Bada's POV)

The clock ticked and ticked and ticked, my heart rate increasing with each passing minute.

I am strong but just from outside. As much as Appa's heart craves for me, mine does too.

I am sassy, I am moody
I am savage, I am smart
But after all of that,
I'm weak,
I am mentally weak.

I have nothing to do if Amir attacks me. I can't fight him, I'm not strong. I don't have weapons to fight him even without might.

I was sure they were here because the excessive firing and gunshots could only be heard if they were here and they are.

But Appa has to reach me in time.

I was getting insecure of the fact that the places I left the notes will be visited by Appa...

I woke up in the middle of the night to plan the whole building and the hideouts where they can come.

The clock ticked to 30 minutes.

Appa, if even you reach me before time, you might find me dead with a cardiac arrest. The amount of anxiety you're giving me. If that was ever done by me to you..

Amir entered the room using the other door which I never knew even existed.

"Hmmm... Umm.... Ah... Hmm....",Amir hummed the same song again. He's been humming this song for the whole day. The man's voice is too disgusting...

"Baby..... Why don't you come to me...?",he said with a fake pout..

I didn't answer. I was already pretty scared and now he's back eating my head. Is he still going through puberty?

"Baby... Listen to me...!",he again said.

Bruh!

"Listen to me..",said Amir, his voice changing to the hoarse one from the one he was just using.
"For listening to a person your ears need to work. Eyes don't need to look in that direction. My brain works well enough to recognise the sound and position...!",I shouted under my breath.
"Ummhuh?"
"Fuck off!"
"Huh! Oh My Goodness! You sweared..."
"Who wouldn't swear at an asshole like you...?!"
"Another curse...",he said as if it shocked him.

I remained quiet. I was not interested in wasting my whole time....

"Tick-Tock,Tick-Tock,Tick-Tock",Amir imitated the clock.

He again started humming his song, that one which bothers me like hell. He walked to his chair and sat down on it.

"Child......"
"What?"
"Accept it...."
"Accept what? That you're an idiot? I have accepted that long back..."
"Accept that your father is a coward and hasn't yet arrived to take you back...."
"So? He hasn't arrived? Then who are your men firing at? Themselves? Oh yeah, my bad, my bad. If the leader himself is an idiot then the members will also be idiots right? My bad, my bad. They're indeed firing at themselves.."
"Shut up you girl!"
"Why the fuck?!"
"Because I'm your master..."
"I still have 15 minutes!",I thundered when something banged the door from outside.

An unintentional smile formed on my lips. Appa...

I could smell his cologne.

"And you think you'll win?",I said, my smile changing into a smirk...

Now I need to buy time for Appa..

And I know how to do it. I had prepared that.

Amir got up from his chair..

"And you think you can get away...!"
"Catch me if you can!"

Amir started running behind me. At school I have the record of the fastest runner.
