After 2 weeks

Such a tiring day it was today. The experiment is almost at its finalisation and soon we will file its patent. This experiment can be of a great help in pharmaceutical products. We just hope government approves this. But the real stressing work for me is about to come. The research and experiment that took us a whole year dedication and hardwork has to be written down what we call as research paper.

It was late night when I left the laboratory. Mostly everyone left an hour ago, it was just me and a few members of my team.

"Bye mam" They bid me by and I returned with a smiling gesture.

I moved towards my car, today the lights outside the laboratory were off, silence covered every inch of the area. I could only hear the sound of crickets and vehicles from the highway which was half km away. There was a weird and scary silence, my heart was thumping loud. It was not the first time I was leaving at this hour or was not witnessing this silence but today it was abnormal.

Ignoring my instincts, I walked towards my car when I felt someone following me. I turned around but couldn't see anything due to darkness. Then I saw a ball coming from the darkness. This scared me more. The ball stopped near me. I picked it up with courage. It had a cut which had a paper in it. Glancing at the darkness for once, I opened the paper.

"I'll do things, you'll never forget" I read the words out aloud.

"Very good , Darling" I heard a rough voice, a man coming towards me from the darkness and I guessed it right.

Naman

The same dirty smirk and the quirky eyes. I gulped looking at him, it would be a lie if I said I was not scared. I was scared and I knew that he knew this too. I wanted to be strong but my memories of the deadly past repeated. My breathing raced as he took steps further towards me.

"Hello Darling, Heyy" He said waving his hand.

I took steps back in reflex, words were struck in my throat.

"Don't run baby, you know I will catch you. I told you I will be back, here I am" He said darkly.

Gathering courage I ran towards my car turning around. But I felt a jerk in my body and soon my back hit the wall. I whined in pain, my eyes closed.

I opened my eyes only to see him standing in front of me so close to me.

"HELP!!!!" I shouted but my voice was suppressed by his hand on my mouth.

"Don't shout, bitch, it won't take me a minute to kill you right here" I tried to shook my head but his grip was strong.

He took out a knife from his back pocket and placing it below my jaw he spoke "You know, everyday in that jail I used to plan every possible way to destroy you and here I am, right in front you" He started piercing my skin with that knife below my jaw. I hissed in pain, but he didn't let my voice come out.

I wiggled in his hold trying to get out but he pushed me hard against the wall grabbing my neck "Don't worry Darling, I am not going to kill you right now. I just wanted to meet you, talk to you and prepare you" My eyes watered due to his grab and my breath became slower "I would ruin you pieces by pieces and get what I wanted back then. You will regret messing with me"
