MUNIRA'S POV

"I need to talk to you" I said as I barged in to Hisham's home office. I have not spoken to him since the incident last night.

"You are done avoiding me?" he answered. "I was never avoiding you I just needed some time and space to think" I argued, but it was the honest truth and I needed time to think about my current suspicion.

"Fine, what do you need to talk to me about?" he asked finally giving me his full attention.

"About last night" I paused thinking of how to put my words. "Yes, I am listening" he assured. "I have a suspect, two of them actually" I dropped the bomb.

"Well, I also have two suspects too" Hisham said. We both realized something by both our statement, which reminds me of the conversation we had on the day I told him I wanted to join a self defense class.

A FEW DAYS EARLIER

"Hisham, I do not think that those men raped me out of coincidence" I told Hisham. "But why do you think that?" he asked.

"I have been thinking and the way it happened does not add up, I think there is a traitor because when we went to the restaurant on the day it happened, my car was perfectly okay then it just stops close to that alley, it does not add up" I said.

"I get what you are saying and I think you are right, there IS an imposter, but now we just have to find out WHO it is. But we should keep this between do not tell anyone even if you trust them with your life" he said and I agreed we had to be really smart and cunning as the one.

PRESENT

After we told I told him my two suspects, he told me his and the two turned out to be the same two I was suspecting, so we made a plan.

"Hayati, get ready into sweats cause you are starting your training today and I am also getting my skills advanced" he said.

"But I am pregnant so how will I train, I was thinking till after I deliver" I said because I did not know how I will train with my pregnancy. I might as well just kill the child.

"Yeah I know that that is why you will not start with combat but with guns and knives" he said with a smirk. I could not tune down my excitement I always wanted to know how to shoot a gun and throw knives.

I rushed to my room and changed into black sweat pant and a matching black t-shirt and black sneakers, with my veil wrapped around my head. I went out of the house and met Hisham standing by the car, he wordlessly opened the door for me and I mumbled a thanks.

"So were is it located and how did you find the place?" I asked him. I was genuinely curious. "You wills see where it is located at and for the other question, that is where I learned" he answered with a look of pride on his face.

"So you know how to fight, like those in movies" I asked enthusiastically. Hisham chuckled "Yes I know how to fight like those in movies and soon you will also learn" he said smiling.

The conversation flowed and soon we arrived at a huge building with a huge board with the name " DEFENSE ACADEMY" boldly written on red.

Hisham opened the door for me and helped me out of the car then took my duffel bag and held my hand in his. "Lets go" he said.

Hisham seemed to be well known in the academy. Soon we arrived at an office and both a man and a woman came out. "I never thought I will see the day Hisham will come back here" the female said. "I know right since he left 2 years ago we never saw him again" that was the male.

The three had huge smiles on their faces "I am very sorry for not visiting but I hope I am forgiving" he apologized. "How can we not forgive the best student of DA" the man said.

"Nathan and Bella, this is my wife Munira, Munira these are my mentor and friend Bella and Nathan" he introduced. I waved at them both and they smiled at me. "You have a very beautiful wife" Nathan said.

"I know" Hisham said smugly looking at me with eyes filled with love and adoration and I almost melted there. God I love this man.

"So I guess she is the one who wants to learn right" Bella said, she looks like she is just a year younger than Hisham or are the same age, while Nathan looked to be in his fifties but with a damn fit body.

"Yes she is, but I would like for her to start with the guns and knives, seeing as she is pregnant" he said. "Congrats" Nathan and Bella said simultaneously with a smile.

"Lets get started then" Bella said as she motioned for me to follow her, I guessed she was going to be my trainer. We made our way to a place with a lot of shelves filled with different kinds of knives and guns. The center of the room was a court and darts and targets were at the far end, which was were I knew the practice was to take place.

"We are going to start with the knives if you are up for it" Bella said. "I am up for it of course, that is the reason why I am here" I replied sassily.

"Do not see this as an easy task, it is extremely hard as you have to hit your target from as far or close as you are and that too accurately, there could also be obstacles on the way" Bella advised. "I get it okay, I know what I signed up for and I know it will not be easy but I am very determined if you have not noticed" I said, already getting irritated.

She walked us to the multiple shelves that held different kind of knives and turned to me "First, you have to choose which knife you will use" she said. "Why do I have to choose aren't they all the same" I asked.

"No you have to choose and they are not the same. You see you have to choose a knife your body can easily control, like the weight of the knife, size, type and balance, so start choosing and weighing" Bella said as she gestured to the shelves.

I took a knife that was like that of the butchers but it felt too heavy and too big for me, I knew that it was not the one. For about 30 minutes, I was weighing knives but then my eyes caught on a medium sized dagger, that was shaped like a normal sized knife but much more sharper than any knife I have seen so far, it was also very shiny.


It had some kind of ancient like designs on it with its cover which also had that same kind of designs on it.

Immediately, I took it and weighed it and it was perfect, the sized, weight and balance was all perfect, it was like it was made just for me.

"I see you have found you knife" Bella smiled. "Yeah I have" I replied. "Now we will officially start the training" she said.

We moved to the court and she faced me after lying down multiple other daggers just like the one I chose on a table.

She took one of the knives and threw it and it hit the bullseye, I wont lie I was highly impressed. "You see what I just did? I want you to try it" she said. "I held the dagger in my right hand and then aimed it but before I could throw Bella told me to stop.

She fixed my stance and then told her to throw. I aimed and threw, i thought I was horrible but I was really surprised when I saw where the dagger was at.

Bullseye.
