Bound by Threat!

Monster

"So you sell ice-cream huh?" I asked Ayaan while licking my ice-cream, hmm it was yum... Ayaan ruffled his hair at the back and scrunched his face up, he looked cute. I had the urge to pull his cheeks but I stopped myself.

"It's my friends actually... He isn't well so I thought of helping out," Ayaan said. Wow! So sweet he his, I'm impressed. I smiled at him and said, "You sweet" and he laughed and said, "When did you taste me?" We both laughed and I smacked his arm.

"What you doing here?" Ayaan asked. "I came to visit my sister and family but she came over to her in-laws to help out and I was getting bored and tired of doing work so I ran off here haha". "Where do they live and who are they?" Ayaan asked me. So I pointed at the house, it wasn't that far and I said, "It's the Patel's".

I threw my ice-cream wrapper in the bin and washed my hands. I turned around to Ayaan who was looking at me and saw him bringing his hands closer to my face and rubbed under my lips with his fingers. My cheeks felt warm and I knew I was blushing. -I'm an easy blusher and often get teased about it- .

I tucked my hair behind my ear and just smiled at him. Ayaan took my hands in his and pulled me to walk along with him, it felt nice. "Oh Patel's I know them quite well", Ayaan said.

"Really? How?" I asked Ayaan. He said that they good family friends and he asked if I was Zahra's sister. I nodded and he was saying we look alike. Ayaan is studying medicine and is 24. "What are you studying Aanah?" I stopped walking and looked at him and said, "Aanah? This is the first time someone called me by this nickname...Ayaan where's  beautiful?" I joked. "Oh love, beautiful is just another adjective to describe you, you just too beautiful for words even".

I laughed at him and said, "Your soooo cheesy" and I couldn't stop myself this time from pulling his cheeks. "Oow! " Ayaan exclaimed while rubbing his cheeks. "Girl did you have to?" He asked and I said, "Of course I just had too! Anyways I'm studying teaching and I'm 20". "Ooh teacher... Would you teach me to fall in love with you everyday?" I broke up and just shook my head. Ayaan's the type of guy you could easily be around and be comfortable.

I saw swings and turned to Ayaan. He just looked at me and shook his head. "Aaah please, please Ayaan". He just looked at me amused and than I dragged him towards the swing and sat. He started pushing me. I was already enjoying myself. "Higher Ayaan! Higher!" I giggled. "Will do beautiful", Ayaan said. While swinging and laughing I saw someone staring at us and than saw it to be Hanzala. He caught my eyes and narrowed his own and came marching towards us, I gulped and than tried ignoring him.

He came closer and yelled at me, "What the hell? You are swinging carefree with someone random while everyone's panicking at home for you. You are really inconsiderate and selfish! Get off that swing this very second!"

Boy was everyone staring... I turned my head around and said, "Ayaan did you hear something? It sounded like some kid crying for their candy, you continue don't stop". Hanzala came right forward and pulled me off the swing like midair. I scream as I fell. Ouch my legs! I looked up with tears that we were going to spill any minute.

I tried standing up and wobbled a bit but Ayaan came quickly and held me and steadied me. I shot him a thankful smile and turned to Hanzala with a murderous glare. "You monster! How could you just pull me off the swing! I got hurt" and I started crying. I'm like a baby and cry for small things but when I get hurt even if it's a small cut I go ballistic. Blood just freaks me out especially my own.

Ayaan tried calming me down and rubbed my head and than turned to Hanzala and said, "What the fu** Hanzala? She got hurt. How can you be so merciless?" Hanzala gave a deadly stare which would have made anyone squirm but Ayaan wasn't bothered.

"Just shut up and mind your own business Ayaan!" "This is my business" Ayaan muttered and than turned to me with concern. He asked where it was hurting and I showed him. My jeans were torn by the knees and few other places. I was bleeding on my knees and elbows. Ayaan said, "It's okay, don't worry beautiful. Let's go home and get your wounds cleaned up".

Hanzala snapped at us and said, "If you two lovebirds are finished than lets go home people are worried, unlike some".

"It's okay Ayaan, I will manage. You stay here." I sniffled. "But..." Ayaan started and I cut him off by saying it's okay and I started limping my way back as my leg hurt. Hanzala just grunted and walked away fast. Wow, what a gentleman I thought sarcastically.

After a few minutes I reached and saw Zahra outside. When she saw me, she looked shocked. "What happened to you Leeh? How you got hurt?" I looked at Zahra and said, "Relax Zaa, I just fell" I grumbled out while Hanzala just scoffed.

Zaa pulled me into house and went to go fetch the medical aid box, when she came back she said, "You fell Leeh! You and your clumsiness! Why don't you pay attention to your surroundings? Okay now lift your leg up". I did as told and lifted my jean.

Zahra gasped and looked at Hanzala and asked, "Did she cry? Knowing her she wouldn't have been able to keep this in? She's too soft". Hanzala looked up and curtly said, "What do you expect from a baby? Of course she did cry". I rolled my eyes at him and hissed quickly. Zahra blowed on my wound and said it would be okay.

After I was done Zaa said that we were leaving. I got up and was following them all out but than when I saw Hanzala I went up to him.

"Who do you think of yourself?" I seethed out to him. He turned to look at me and he just stared. "Hel-loo I'm talking to you", I said while waving my hands in front of his face. Hanzala grabbed my hand and held it tight. Ouch this hurt! I struggled to break free but no use, he was just so strong.

"Hey! Leave my hand you monster! Oi! Leave it!" But he just looked at me with no emotion. Was his face carved liked this always? I mused but I was snapped out of it quickly when Hanzala tightened his grip on me, I yelped.

Eish another bruise, this isn't fair. I looked at him with blurry eyes as my eyes had water already. "Aww is poor baby Leeanah crying? Did I hurt her?" He taunted me. "Just stay away from me! I told you I don't like you so leave!" I raised my eyebrows in shock and than I felt my hand falling back to my sides saw Hanzala storming off somewhere. I just stood there for some time and than felt someone tugging my pants.

I looked down Mohammed and he said, "Come, come". I wiped my tears and carried Mohammed to the front and just sat in the car without saying a word to anyone. His behavior was unbelievable.

It was quite late when we got home and Zaa asked me if I was alright and I just said I was tired but that didn't stop her from forcing me to drink a glass of milk. After I got into bed I messaged my friend and spoke a bit after which I fell asleep.
