Famished

chapter 4

"What the hell!" Abraham ran his hands in the hair. He couldn't believe the girl he fucked a month ago came out alive to extort his father showing her pregnancy test and video footage. He wondered how Ronaldo could be wrong. Among the four of his friends Ronaldo was alcohol intolerant. Even two shots of booze would cause him drowsiness, so he always stayed away from the intoxicants.

That night when Ronaldo told him that the girl was dead, Abraham believed him and did not shoot the girl but now he repents it every moment. He should have killed her for a safe side but it is too late now. The girl felt vulnerable from an ordinary middle class background. He still couldn't believe on the fact that she could all the way come to Walkhart Industries head office and blackmail his father.

What shocked Abraham the most is that his father decides to give away all his assts, the decades of hardwork, savings from his sweat and blood to an alien's baby. Was he in his right state of mind when he signed the will? Abraham pondered on the fact that how his father could be so foolish? The baby could be anyone's apart from him. Their family has no information about the girl or the family she belonged until she knocked at their door claiming the baby growing inside her is their heir. Abraham stews on the fact, there is no test to check the DNA of the baby growing in the a womb.

He could clearly detect something fishy inside the complete anecdote. Abraham wasn't in the best terms with his father because of his idiosyncrasies and his mother wouldn't let out anything to him in spite of his repeated urges. His parents were the perfect pair of compatability. As a result Abraham decides to pursue the case by himself. He was in no way going to part with his millions of property for a single time pleasure with an anonymous tramp.

The next day morning as usual Sania got up at five, did her routine and went for work followed by her college. It was her exams time. Every day as soon as she comes back home, she would prepare something for herself and sit to study. But today Sania braces the shock when she returned home.  Her whole flat was turned upside down. Some places were burnt. The little furniture she had was destroyed to trash. Her clothes and books were torn, scattered everywhere. Pieces of glass littered the floor. For a few minutes she couldn't understand anything. Her mind went blank and she was on the verge of landing into a trauma.

Going suddenly claustrophobic she opened one of the windows of the sitting room when a dart pierced inside through the casement. Sania was somehow lucky to avoid it pierce through her head and it stuck across one of the walls of the room with a note attached.

Do not try to mess with me. I'm the most dangerous man. Meet Mr Graham Walkhart and tell him you do not want any of the properties and before tomorrow morning I should see you not only out of this city but the country too. Else, the repercussions will be inestimable for you not only now but for the next thousand births to come.

By the time Sania read the note she was into a panic attack. Her face was red and covered in sweat. She went to rigid short breaths almost bringing herself to unconsciousness. But before she would cross out the only thought she had was the need to save her baby growing inside her. Holding her belly she took the phone with trembling hands and went to the window trying her best to even her breath.

"Hello" she called in her shivering tone. Sania did not know how long she stood at the window hearing the inducement of the speaker. But there was no doubt the innominate's words had a confounding effect on her. She took heavy breaths as instructed and wiped the sweat on her face. 

Five minutes later a blue Audi was parked across her apartment. Sania quickly got into the car without a second thought... so much was the power held by the saccharin stranger's words on her. She was carrying just her backpack that she took to her college and was penniless but she knew her saviour was going to help her by any means.

She did not know his name, what was his profession to earn a livelihood and not even his face. Sania knew nothing about him except that he was a male from the voice that spoke to her on phone. The greater was his involvement in her life the more was her curiosity in learning about him. Sania dwelled thinking about him would land her to more problems but  could she avoid him invading her hunches? Not anymore, he already rules her heart.

Half an hour later she was still travelling but the middle class habitat hither to stationed was slowly changing to posh and upscale domains. The environment around felt welcoming calming the chaos running inside her in a unique way. The place held beautiful green pastures with tall green trees on either side of the road. In short it felt like a paradise on earth. Everything around screamed power and money. Sania contemplated on the thought on where she was headed by going rooted in the words of candied deviant.

The car then turned left to a pathway which had beautiful garden on either sides with a display of colorful flowers. In front was proudly standing a trendy and voguish Gray and White aesthetic condo. "Is this the place I am going to stay?" Sania asked the driver in a whispered hesitation unable to still believe her eyes and to her surprise he nodded an affirmative. 

The driver slightly bowed to her in respect and gave Sania the keys of her new house before walking away from the entrance. Sania placed her phone on the table and looked around her magnificent new home in awe. Everything looked costly and distinctive starting from the crystal flower vases to the extortionate African Black wood furniture occupying the opulent mansion. 

Sania walked to kitchen that had a pearl white platform with excellent interiors and trendy cooking appliances. Walking beside it was a huge dining table covered in glass that could accommodate at least twenty people. Everything was spick and span with a classic and excellent finish. Sania marveled on who stayed in the house earlier to maintain it so immaculate. She was about to open the double door modish fridge when there was a ping of her phone indicating a message. "I hope you liked your new home. The fridge has eatables stored including the coming week. In case you need anything more just stick a label on the dining table. Have dinner and take rest. Good night."

Instantly Sania's lips stretched to a smile reading the message. She didn't have words to thank her rescuer. There is no doubt she was getting attracted to him? Was loving someone possible without even knowing his face? A few days ago she would have marked it irrelevant but now? One thing she noted about her stranger friend was that he had a very genial heart. Nobody does so much for a alien just for the sake of a once upon a time covenant.

Sania made a simple dinner of meat sandwich and glass of milk but her next concern was what was she going to put on for the night. She scolded herself for her absentmindedness. She should have at least asked the driver to drive her to Nina's house and borrow a pair of clothes for the night and tomorrow's college. What was she going to wear now? Should she sleep in the same clothes? Just then her phone pinged again.

"The closet on the right from where you are standing has complete ladies wear. You can choose an outfit of your choice." Sania felt astonished as she read the message. She opened the closet and was bolted out of blue to see a brand new wardrobe comprised of very elegant costly outfits with fancy tags starting from party wear, occasion costumes, sunny outfits and even night wear. Ooh lala...ooh lala climbing the bed and twirling her waist Sania began to dance in joy when she heard a chuckle. Was this some kind of magic land? Is there is some kind of wireless communication that passes to him from my mind? Sania knew her thoughts were ridiculous but nevertheless she decides to project her concerns to her saviour instead of beating around the bush.

Her hands went to her shirt to unbutton it and there was another message popping on her screen. "Please remove your garments  going inside the washroom." What the fuck! Sania looked around her room going dismayed and if somebody was watching her but there was none. 

Innocent Sania did not know the person by whom she is sheltered is much more distinguished than her rapist and now there is no way but to go more coalesced  into the oasis.
