''Oh ya Allah, this kids are going to be the death of me, they were supposed to be here by 5 and it's to 8'' sarah said frustrated and tensed, something was telling her something was wrong but she couldn't figure anything out.
''My darling wife, just calm down, you know your son and daughter they are always late, don't worry they'll be here'' Adal's dad said patting his wife's shoulder, she was getting too worried over something little and it might affect her health.
''I'll deal with them myself when they get here, they should know that keeping a pregnant woman waiting isn't just okay'' Roka spoke out and everyone turned to stare at her.
''A pregnant what? Who is pregnant? Wait you are pregnant? '' Sarah asked, and Roka bit her tongue for letting it slip, then she covered her face in her hands blushing.
''Yes, uhmm i am pregnant, i, uhmm I wanted to share with you all today, but i guess i let it spill'' she said and everyone laughed.
''Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, mabrook Mabrook '' they all cheered and congratulated her.
''Yes! I'm going to be a grandma again, Alhamdulillah I can't wait'' sarah cheered pecking her daughter on her cheeks.
''Yes yes! You all should cheer, I'll be the one to be tortured for 9 months, I'll have to eat more than I should, the gym is definitely going to be my friend, I can't loose weight, let me call Reen and make her my gym partner '' Roka said and they all laughed.
She picked up her phone and dialled Afreen's number, but there was no reply, she tried again and again still no reply.
''What's up? Have you spoken to her?'' Hala said and Roka shook her head.
''Don't worry, try calling Adal, they are definitely together '' Afreen's mum said and Roka nodded her head and began dialling her brother's number.
After dialling five times, no reply she began getting worried, this was weird, both of them aren't picking up.
''I don't know why both of them aren't picking up the phone '' she told the family.
''Ya Allah, i hope the kids are okay'' Afreen's mother began worrying.
'' I told you something was not okay, please find out where my children are, please '' sarah held her husband's hand pleading.
''Yes, please Habibi find out if they are okay'' Afreen's mother pleaded with her husband.
''Okay, I'll just call Jamal, he should know if they are okay '' Adal's dad said.
Picking up his phone he called Jamal up and after three rings he picked up.
''Salam dad? Is everything okay?'' Jamal asked.
''Wa Alaykum salam son, yes and no, we've been trying to call up Adal and Afreen but to no avail, I don't know what is going on'' Adal's dad said.
''Ohh! Okay don't worry, I'm out, I'll just check the office for them and be at home ASAP'' he said and after their salams they hung up.
''I just spoke to Jamal, he'll check them up and come here to tell us, don't worry In Sha Allah they are okay''he said calming them down, but he was already not having a good feeling good.
After thirty minutes of sitting and worrying, no message from them or sight if Jamal, they decided to inform the police but before they did someone had knocked on the door.
Hearing the knock, both mothers rushed to the door expecting to see their children, but an unknown man was standing at the door.
''Hy please is this Mr Adal Ahmad Omar's family house?'' The man asked and they both looked at each other before turning back to him then nodded.
''Yes, it is, who are you?'' Adal's mum asked.
''I'm Justin, I'm Rachel's husband, she works with Mrs Afreen ''he said and they nodded, they both knew who Rachel was.
''Okay, come in''the invited him in.
''Who's there?'' Roka asked.
''He is Rachel's husband, you know Afreen's friend?'' Adal's mum replied.
''Oh yeah! I do know her, hyy''she replied then greeted him.
''Any problem?''Afreen mum asked.
''Yes ma'am, actually my wife left for work today, she was meant to be back three hours ago, but there was no sign of her, she normally calls to inform me if she was staying late but there was no call from her, i was getting worried so I decided to go to her work place to enquire ''he said and they already had a feeling they didn't like where this was heading.
He continued ''on getting there, she wasn't also there, but I found one of her friends and i asked about her, she told me that she and Mrs Afreen had left the office in a hurry, they left at the same time with Mr Adal who also left looking quite worried, that they had been out for five hours and no sign of them, so I decided to come over here after checking their place to ask if she was here'' he finished.
Afreen's mum immediately lost balance''ya Allah, where are they? Where is my daughter? I just hope they are okay, please someone bring them back, please ''she said crying.
''Calm down, don't cry, they are okay In sha Allah, just have faith in Allah '' Adal's mum went on to console her although she was also in tears.
''I'm sorry, but your wife isn't here too, actually before you came here we were going to inform the police that Adal and Reen had been missing, we'll just tell them your wife is with them too'' Afreen's dad said and Justin nodded his head, he felt bad seeing the family's condition, he just hoped wherever they were they were okay.
Jamal had reached the door that was left open and the sight of the family in pain brought him joy, he couldn't wait until they knew actually where their children where, he smirked then immediately cleared it and put on a sad face.
''Assalamu Alaykum ''he said and they all turned to him answering his salam.
''Jamal? Any news ?'' They asked and he nodded.
''I'm sorry no, I think we should inform the police ''he suggested and they nodded.
Adal's dad brought out his phone to call the police and there was another knock at the door.
Opening the door, no one was there, weird, he turned to go back inside when he noticed a package by the door. Picking it up, he closed the door and went back in.
''Who was it?''Jamal asked.
''No one, but I found this package, I wonder what it in''he said and began opening it.
Inside was a CD plate, this wasn't good, but without saying a word he put it in the CD player and turned on the TV.
They all gathered to see what was playing and to their greatest horror, was Afreen, Adal and Rachel tied up and in a bad shape.
''My child!!!'' Afreen's mother cried out holding onto her husband, she couldn't see her daughter in the condition she was, her face looked like she had been hit.
''Hello, the Abduljabbar's and Omar's, it's been so long i tell you, how I'd love to introduce myself but it's too early for that''the voice spoke .
The family members couldn't recognise the voice, they had no idea who it was and were not even intending on concentrating on that, they just wanted them to return safe and sound.
''Anyways, see the condition of your kids? If you intend on having them back you have to do as I say and mind you no police should be involved''she said and immediately the screen went off.
''Nooooo!'' Adal's mum cried out, immediately she passed out, they all rushed to her, Her husband picked her up and took her upstairs.
''Now this is going to fun''Jamal smirked.
