Her breath stuck in her throat, one exhale and she's sliced across the throat.

"You are taking me to zareefah,and if you lie to me ,once I capture her, you are going to watch her slowly die, knowing its your FAULT!!" Her voice making cold shivers run down her spine. She couldn't move nor speak, knowing that with a word, she could end a life.

"So where is she" kauthar asked through gritted teeth.

Silence.

"Where is she!"

Suddenly she felt the gripping her let go, she was shocked she couldn't move, the figure stood before error holding a metal rod.

"Let's go"

She nodded due to not being able to talk, she ran faster than she ever did in her life.

"How did you... you know, know I was there ?"

"Well first of all trashing a cup doesn't take five minutes, and secondly, I just wanted to check if you were okay, until I saw the maniac trying to kill you" he said his eyes fixed on the road, not sparing a glance at anything.

"So, where are we going "imaan asked

"Somewhere safe"

I was about to protest but I knew better, so I decided to trust him. Even though at a time like this, it's not the best decision....but when you're helpless, you're helpless.

********
Khaleefah's pov

Upon reaching home, I washed up and went to bed, but I felt twisting and turning from the other side of the bed,so I left the room.

Grabbed a bucket of icecream, a blanket and some lights, I took from the supply room.

"zareefah" I said tapping her

"hmm?"

"lets go outside"I said in hushed tone

"but its one am" she protested.

"well it doesnt seem like you're sleeping so..." I said,

"sure" she said removing the sheets and standing up, and going to the closet.

**********

"he will be okay, insha'Allah." I said caressing her back with my thumb

"but promise me YOU will be okay"

"insha'Allah" she said looking at the almost clear sky,resting her head on my arm, I leaned in and pecked her forehead, and then i realised how fragile of a person she is,knowing with one wrong move she could break, but still... she has to know, because mariage is based on trust.

"We should do this more often" she said burying her face in my chest

"of course" I said pulling her closer to me, feeling the cold breeze brushing my skin, and me drifting into the beautiful night.
