EXTRA MILE FOR LOVE

17: In trouble

Najma's wailing made an unconscious Nabil conscious. He squinted looking around. "I'm going to make sure I empty all these bullets into your skull if you don't keep shut!" A huge dark man barked at Najma ,holding her at gunpoint. That was when Nabil accelerated that they are being held captive by these men. But how did they get here? He remembered conversing with Najma when Two huge men held them at gunpoint. From there he couldn't remember a thing.

"They're going to kill us!" Najma declared as she cried without a single drop of tears from her eyes. Nabil was amazed at how dramatic Najma could be , Who cries without tears?. One thing was for sure, She really looked terrified. "Who are you? What do you want from us? Where are we? Why did you bring us here? " Nabil asked looking around. Najma wished she could use a bandage or something to close Nabil's big rude mouth so that he doesn't get them killed.

"You don't have the right to ask us anything here. Wait for our boss to come. Don't even think of escaping, you're very far from home , There's no way you will be able to get out of here without our knowledge." The man barked harshly and stomped the wooden door.

Najma looked around observing the place, the looked more like an abandoned building and also more like a hut. She rolled her eyes at Nabil when her eyes fell on him and she noticed he has been staring at her. "What are you looking at? Look at what you've caused, I hope you're happy now?" Najma snapped as she wrapped her hands to her chest, "So I caused this? How?" Nabil seemed lost.

"They obviously wanted to kidnap you alone , but seeing us together made them carry me along too."

"How are you even sure this is a kidnap? And who told you they wanted to kidnap me alone?" He asked . "No they didn't kidnap us, They brought us here for us to have the best vacation ever. I never knew apart from being a flirt, you have a low IQ with all due respect though. Who's the rich guy here? You obviously! They saw us together and I became a victim. Poor me, what would Basma....." She let her words trailed off and she started wailing.

Nabil was now convinced God is finally punishing him for all his sins . What in the world was he thinking when he first approached this girl? Even if this is a real kidnap then he'd have preferred they kidnapped him alone. Being here with her is enough torture for him already. "Do you think this is a kidnap? Or they want to use as sacrifice for rituals? Or......" He didn't allow her to finish talking, he placed his index finger on her lips. "Shhhshh Just be quite, Okay?" She immediately froze, a body or eye contact with Nabil was the last thing she could handle. This made her to quickly look away.

Najma's Residence.

"Commissioner It's been over 24 hours and there's still no news about her, how do you expect me to calm down?" Najma's Dad was really exasperated as he was talking to the commissioner of police over the phone. "We are going to try our possible best to find her insha Allah. I'm going to send some police men to her school to start conducting their investigation there." The commissioner and Najma's Dad conversed for a little while before they got off the phone.

"Any news?" Mummy asked with tears in her eyes , As Basma's Mum gently patted her back. "It's all my fault, If I had gone to school with her all these wouldn't have happened." You needed not to be told that Basma had cried her eyes out, she had swollen eyes. "Don't say that Basma, this is how Allah planned everything. Let's all continue praying we find Najma very soon" Basma's mum declared.

Basma couldn't stop getting negative thoughts about Nabil, Could he be responsible for her disappearance? No, why would he do such a thing. She shrugged off such thoughts. She remembered how he kept spraying dollars on Najma and the video of him doing that went viral. Perhaps Kidnaps saw it and thought Najma is a rich kid? She just had a feeling that Najma's disappearance had to be linked with Nabil. With these thoughts, She decided to call Ameerah and asked if her husband was at home.
