Untamed

Chapter 3

I can believe he is here, in my home, sitting comfortably. I wonder what it is he wants.

I went to buy some ingredients to try a new dish I saw on YouTube. I was a sucker for cooking and anything kitchen related. The funny part is I am not a glutton. I just love making new dishes and I enjoy watching people trying and enjoying my meals. It gives me immense joy. I finished picking what I needed and headed to the counter to pay. I paid and came out and was heading to the parking lot looking for the chauffeur. I brought out my phone to call him while walking when I heard noises from not so far from where I was. My curiosity got the better of me and I quickly texted the chauffeur to quickly come and get my things. I waited a little, when I saw him, I waved him over and quickly hurried towards the noise.

When I got close enough, I saw a richly dressed girl of not over 20 shouting and insulting another girl who was around 19 to 20 also dressed in  tattered clothes that were reduced to rags watching the lady with tears in her eyes.

The poor girl didn't look like a thief or a bad person to me. She looks like someone who was going through a very bad phase in her life. She was very beautiful and had flawless skin that was covered by dirt and hardships. The way she stood there looking at the rich lady with that look in her face moved something in me and I knew I couldn't take it anymore.

'Excuse me miss but may I please ask why you are humiliating this lady here? What happened?' The lady turned and gave me a look from head to toe taking in my appearance. She was starting to get on my nerves. ' what business do you have here? Why are you sticking your nose where its not needed' she shot back. I took a steady breath telling myself to calm down and not yell at her. I am a very nice person but I hate being looked down on or seeing other people being mistreated just because they are not well off. I calmly said in fact too calmly - the deadly type of calm - ' please whatever it is that the girl did to you can be settled by talking like normal people not shouting and yelling at a defenseless person don't you think?' ' How dare you insult me because of this useless thing? She wanted to steal my purse' She said to me. I couldn't hold back how I felt any longer "in case you are blind enough not to see the useless thing you see is also a human and better person than you will ever be. You know why? Well it's not like I expect you to know since I noticed you are very dumb and feeble minded. So I will tell you. Its because while you are there shouting your lungs out like mad stray  dog with rabies, she is calmly watching you not even trying to defend herself because she knows its useless. Its not like you will listen to her even if she tried. Well let me help enlighten you further, you are embarrassing yourself and making a fool out of yourself. Right now you acting like a brat or should I say bitch 🤔. Tell me how much your purse and the whole of you is worth and I will give it to you. Just don't ever do this to defenseless lady ever'. I didn't know I attracted such an audience but at this point I don't care what they all think of me because somebody had to put that girl in her right place. The brat was so embarrassed when I was done with her. It was written all over her face." What now? The cat got your tongue eh?' I asked her. "If you have even a pinch of humanity in you you will say sorry to her. But well that's too much to ask from someone like you right?". I turned to the girl who had tears in her eyes and a look of shook and surprise on her face,- she wasn't expecting anyone to defend her- and took her frail hands. "Can I ask what your name is?" She was surprised but she nod her head and uttered a little 'Aisha'. I said OK Aisha I don't mean to offend you but did you take anything from her? She shook her head and said 'I was passing by and I saw her drop her purse accidentally. She didn't realise that so I went there and took the purse. I followed her to her car and gave it to her then she started yelling at me and calling me a thief. I swear to you I've never stolen anything in my life. I may be poor but I have my dignity I turned to face bratty and said 'see? She was only trying to help but no because you lack humanity you pounced on the poor girl. Shame on you'.  Little bratty was so embarrassed she didn't say anything. She just jumped into her car and left.

I dragged Aisha and we left. Through out the drive she was thanking me. When we reached a certain street she told me to drop her here. That her house was not far from here. I offered to take her home but she refused so I let it go. Instead I got her number and told her I will call her soon. I gave her all the cash that I had left on my bag. At first she refused but after much persuasion, she reluctantly collected it and thanked.

We became close friends but she never told me anything about her life and u never pushed it until one day when we met and she was all bruised up. It looked as if she was beaten. I asked her but she shrugged it off like it was nothing. I knew if I continued she will close off to me again. So after we said our goodbyes an hour later, I pretended to leave but then I hid behind a car and waited for her to start going. I followed her and was shocked to see she lived in a freaking mansion. I didn't know I gasped loudly until I heard her voice asking what I was doing here. I apologized and left but I had so many questions.

That was when I started visiting her at home but she warned me to always call her before coming. I agreed to that.

On a faithful day, I wanted to see how she was doing. I called her several times but her phone was switched off. I just went in since I was already at the house.

I salamed but nobody answered then I heard screams from upstairs. Being the ever curious me, I went up to be welcomed by the site of a man whom I'm guessing is her so called husband beating her with a long thick cable. Without thinking I went to stand between them. She was crying and begging him to stop. That was when I licked his name, Amir. I was lucky he stopped but he was furious with me.

He lashed out on the both of us but I managed to get us both out of there before he resumed his beating.

That was when she told me everything.
She was from an average family. Her dad owned a textile industry until things started going wrong. He was going bankrupt. That was when Amir's dad came. He told her dad that he will help him but with the condition that his son Amir will marry Aisha. Aisha being the selfless person she is agreed without thinking twice.

Ever since the marriage, he has always mistreated her because he thinks she is cheap and too religious according to him. Recently it became worst because he started hitting her.

He turned her into a slave and did all sort of horrible things to her. I didn't know I was crying until she wiped my tears and we hugged each other.

So I took her home and told dad everything. He got a lawyer for her and he helped her dad....

This all happened two years ago.

Now back to the present, I didn't know what he was doing here. How dare he come into this house.

I was furious with him. "What the hell do you think you are doing in my home Amir?"
