Safeena

a queen?

" Safeena give the keys! " Aseem shouted.
" Aseem, I will take you out."
" Safeena you don't understand! Give it to them!"
" No "
" Get the keys ."
One of the guards started to snatch the keys from her hand.
" Get away, I am not giving you the keys."
" Get away from her ! " Aseem was yelling from Inside.
They tried to grab her wrist , they jerked her back and forth to get her to open her fist. She pushed them as much as she could. The guard tried to push her against the wall, to grab her hand.
" Safeena give them the keys! Please! Safeena give them the keys!" He was yelling on the top of his lungs.
" No , I said no "
He started to twist her hand but she didn't give up.
" You can't get a key from a woman 's hand ?! What a useless man."
Both of them now came on to her.
She went down on the floor and covered her hand under her stomach. One guard was on her back trying to get the key and the other was trying to get it from the front.
" Safeena give them the keys, please, safeena give them keys." He kept shouting and yelling . He was banging the door continuously.
" Get off her , get away from her ." He was filled with rage.
" Safeena! Please! I can get out of here! But for now please give them the keys ! Safeena listen to me."
She wasn't in a situation to listen to him. She was fighting two men on her.
" Ahh! " She yelled .
" What happened! Safeena! Give them the keys please! Safeena! Get off her! GET OFF HER OR ELSE I WILL KILL YOU I SWEAR!"
She tried to get away. She tried to stand up, but they got hold of her. They pinned her hands to wall.
" Open your fist."
" No. "
" I said open!" He yelled at her face.
" I said no." After listening to this , he hit her.
" Stop! Don't! " Aseem yelled.
He started banging her hand on her wall to get her to open it. She still held firm. She shouted with pain but didn't give them the keys.
" Safeena ! God! Give the keys!"
" Stay away from her! You rascals. Get away from her. Once I come out it's over for you both."
" Get the sword." The guard instructed the other one.
" I think now I have to get it done myself." The guard said.
" Safeena! Please I beg you to give them the keys." Aseem was feeling so helpless. He was banging, trying to open the locked door, break whatever he could.

" Listen to him. Give me the keys."
She kicked him into his stomach so hard and pushed him behind on the wall. He hit his head and fell down.
She immediately got to Aseem's door and started opening it. Just then the guard arrived with the sword. She opened the door and just then the guard pulled her by her hair. She was dragged behind. Aseem went towards him and banged his head to the wall. He sat on him chocking his neck.
" How dare you! I warned you. This is not the way you behave with a woman. Not with mine."
" Aseem!" She tried to touch his shoulder and he shoved her hand.
" You will remember this!" And then, he killed him.
" Aseem my god."
The went to the other one, taking his sword. He was already in pain on the ground.
" Aseem! Don't let's get out of here."
" Don't talk to me."
He took the sword and pushed inside his stomach.
" Aseem!"
He got up stained with blood. He looked at her once from top to bottom checking her injuries.
" Did you just kill them?!"
He didn't answer her. He kept checking. He came towards her. He saw her knuckles bloody with a lot of nail marks. He saw finger marks on her wrist.
" Aseem, you-" he himself was quite hurt. His face was bloody and swollen.
He softly held her hand and dragged her with him.
" I am going to end this for once and for all "
" Aseem, where?!"
He didn't respond.
" Aseem! What? Where? Don't do anything else, we will go back , Aseem. "
" Aseem! Talk to me."
He didn't reply once.
" Aseem stop!" She pulled her hand out.
" Aseem! What are you doing? Talk to me "
" Aseem! Turn around."
" Aseem!" She made him turn around.
" Now you want to hear Aseem talk?! Now!" He questioned her pissed.
" What?"
" You always do what you want! What about others?"
" Aseem--"
" What?! What do you want now?! You did whatever you wanted now I will do whatever I want."
" Listen--"
" I don't want to talk to you."
" I did what I had to save you! To get you out of there."
" But I didn't wanted that! How many times had I shouted to tell you?! I could have brought myself out. I got Alfez out, I would have done it for myself too! But no , you had to put yourself in danger."
" My grandfather would have killed you, do you understand that?!"
" Then I would have died! Safeena, but I can't watch you get hurt like that with me doing nothing! Those men were literally on you! "
" But--"
" Did you listen to me ?! Did you?! No ! Then now I don't want to listen to you nor talk to you. "
" Aseem! Do you understand what are you saying! You could have died, and you think I would have kept watching that! You would have done the same thing for me?! Won't you?"
" Now speechless?"
" You shouldn't have done that." He sighed.
" Let's get out of here." She said.
" As I said, I am going to end this."
" Aseem--"
" I am still not talking with you. So just stop trying."
He took her hand again.

" Safeena!" Someone called her as they entered the palace.
She turned around to see her sister.
" Shaheen !"
She ran towards her and hugged her.
" Where were you?! Sister , I missed you so much."
" Shaheen how are you? Did he troubled you? "
" No , safeena please help me!"
" What happened?"
" Father is sick , and he won't be able to run the kingdom, he wants to give the throne to the next generation. And our grandfather is forcing me to get the throne."
" What?!"
" I don't want to , Safeena, I don't , I am still young, I don't know anything, I can't be the queen , please tell him that. I can't , he forcing me to take lessons, I don't want to. It's you who should be the queen, you know everything, you are good, you are old enough to get on the throne."
" Shaheen, wait, I will talk to our father okay?!"
" But will you become the queen?"
" I can't, no one would accept me as a queen. Our kingdom would collapse."
" Safeena --"
" I will talk to him. Okay?"
" Okay."
" Aseem?" She diverted her attention towards Aseem.
" Hey little princess!"
" Please convince her " she insisted.
He didn't answer her.
" He is not speaking to me ."
" What happened?" She asked Aseem.
" Ask your sister."
" Why do you look all hurt?"
" I will tell you later."
" Go see our father."
" Are you sure that I should go?"
" Ofcourse"
" He won't like it."
" But --"

Aseem held her hand to took her with him.
" Aseem we shouldn't go there "
" Aseem! Man! Hear me out "
" Aseem! Please, come on."
As he walked towards her father's room, she was trying to stop him.
" Listen, Aseem! Don't go there. Aseem, please, no , I am sorry okay? I apologise. But please stop "
He didn't even look at her.
" Aseem my grandfather is standing right there. Don't please."
She held his hand to stop him.
" Don't please, he can do anything. Please."
" Shut up and go meet your father." He said.
" I can't he is standing right there."
" Fine."
He dragged her to her father's room.
" Aseem!! No ! Aseem"
" Oh, I see familiar faces." Her grandfather continued,
" I was supposed to come to kill you but you just made it easier for me that you walked right in front of me."
" Grandfather --"
" Who are you ?"
She was so heartbroken to hear it.
" Go see your father " Aseem said .
" I want to see--"
" Don't ask , just go "
She controlled herself and took a step.
" Stop, I don't let strangers meet the king."
" Grandfather, please let me see my father, please."
" No one sees the king except family."
Safeena couldn't speak anything anymore. She was controlling her tears.
" She is his daughter and she will see him right now!" Aseem said.
" My son only has one daughter, and that's Shaheen."
" Don't do this, please, let me see him." She requested.
" I won't repeat. Strangers and threats to the king are not permitted."
" Safeena go see your father." Aseem said.
" I said no!"
" He is sick! Let me see him, just once and I will go back. I promise."
Just then someone whispered in her grandfather 's ears.
" So I see now you have turned into a savage killer off to kill their own men."
He walked towards her with rage.
" How dare you kill my men!" Grandfather yelled.
As he came near her , Aseem stood between him and her strongly knowing that he will never stand a chance against her grandfather.
" I killed them." Aseem said.
" Oh you again."
" Safeena go see your father, let me see who stops you."
