Rubab's eyes frantically moved here and there but except for darkness, there was nothing. She had no idea where she was standing. The ground under her feet was cold like ice. She heard the wind whispering around her. What was this place?

After leaving the room Rubab found herself in a puzzle. There was a hallway with no lights. The more she approached the more she lost herself in darkness. She tried to search for a way out but there wasn't even a door. The place was eerie enough to scare the shit out of her.

" Where am I?" a terrified whisper left her mouth.

Rubab stiffed in her place. Her eyes swirled. Her hands were already wet when she sensed someone's presence. His/her shoes continued hitting the ground making a lousy sound.

" Who........who.....is there?" Rubab questioned. Her voice shook. Automatically her legs moved backwards.

The next moment Rubab was in the arms of someone. It was that vile man. She recognized him by his strong fragrance. She twisted her body to free herself from his grasp but the man didn't even move a bit.

" Leave me, Bastard! Let me go! What do you want?" she hissed.

The man did not respond like he was mute. He tightened his hold around her delicate body.

Hearing the sound of the belt unbuckling she cried out desperately. Her hands were twisted backwards tieing them with the belt. Her stole was snatched away the very next moment. The man blindfolded her with her stole.

The man picked her up on his shoulder like she was a sack of potatoes. Rubab's protests were ignored by him as usual. Getting irritated by her continuous wailing he slapped her buttocks.

" Don't touch me, pig," She shouted.

She was brought back into the same room where she has been held captive. Throwing her on the bed, the man untied Rahella bi. He signalled Rahella bi to leave. Giving a disgusted glare at Rubab, the woman left holding her throbbing forehead that was still bleeding.

" You will rot in hell. I curse. I curse you that Allah will throw you to the lowest part of hell. You will burn. You.........." She was quitted by a finger on her lips.

Shhhhh...........

Rubab's whole body got paralyzed. Only her lips quivered. His sound was intimidating enough to make her heart hammer inside her chest.

Just in a few seconds, Rubab was alone in the room again. But, this time with tape on her mouth to prevent her from screaming or making any kind of sound.

A few hours later the man was standing on the balcony and observing a bird that was captive inside a cage. The bird was flapping inside the cage desperately. He was so lost in his own thoughts that he did not notice Rahella entering the balcony.

" Why don't you punish her? She almost killed me," Rahella bi questioned sharply.

The man asked back," What do you want me to do?"

" Punish her just like you punish other people. Beat the hell out of her. Torture her until she apologizes," Rahella bi spitted venom gritting her teeth.

The man just smiled at Rahella bi's words. Turning behind he found Rahella bi looking at him with irritated eyes.

" Look at that bird," He pointed at the caged bird.

He asked smiling," Are you seeing any difference between that bird and her?"

" I don't understand your puzzling words," Rahella sounded irked.

Letting out a smile the man started explaining," The bird is desperate for freedom. It is frustrating. Out of frustration, it attacked me multiple times when I was providing food for it. She is just like this bird. Don't blame her. She is just frustrated."
