Entangled {With Slaves Of Persia} (Book 2)

~ 50 ~

Author's P.O.V. Continues.....

'Alex I just received a call from London Police saying that they received a phone call from this number' said head of the Police Department showing him the number 'I need you to trace it. Since it was a call for ransom to Mister Rahul's father. Those people have demanded fifty million Pounds'

'What the heck? I will trace them sir' said Alex taking away the paper on which the phone number was written.

'Meera...Meera...wake up dear' Rahul continuously said in a low voice. He wanted to find out if she was okay. Calling her name for over twenty times, Meera fluttered her eye lids.  Seeing her, Rahul took a deep breath in relief 'Meera come on get up' he again said while his wrists and shoulders were aching more. He saw the dusk approaching with the sky turning pinkish orange.

Meera slowly opened her eyes and as she got back her consciousness, she started experiencing severe pain in her abdomine and chest too while she was breathing heavily.

'Sir...I'll untie you' she said getting up and with a great difficulty, she untied those knots of that rope. The moment Rahul was freed, he immediate hugged Meera and then kissed her lips saying, 'thank goodness you are alright Meera. I am so happy to see you alright. Come on Meera let's not waste anymore time. Let's go from here' whispered Rahul near Meera's ear.

'No sir...I am not in a position to walk at all. And also I know that I'll die, some day someone will rape and kill me' she too whispered resting her head on his chest with her arms wrapped around his neck.

'What nonsense are you talking Meera? You must have heard those men threaten me and you are assuming all that to be true' said Rahul pushing few strands off her face to look at her clearly.

'No sir, you are not understanding. My life is cursed and I am bound to die this way some day. I am glad to have lived till now, met you all' she tried to convince him.

'Okay fine then let's sit here and you explain to me what all you want me to understand. If I get convinced then I'll leave you here and go or else I too will sit here. Let those kidnappers come and kill me too' said Rahul still standing in that same position. He was confident that she would agree to go with him.

Meera then understood that Rahul would not leave her there and she has to somehow gather all her strength and go with him.
'Okay sir I will go with you now'

I knew you'll agree my love... He thought and said 'That's like a good girl' planting one more kiss on her dehydrated lips, cupping her face.

He then slowly pushed opened the glass window and jumped out first and then helped Meera to jump out. The weather outside was pretty cold. With no proper clothing Rahul shivered initially but walking helped him warm up while Meera shivered even while walking in that dense forest.

With just moon light to their aid, they both walked continuously with Rahul wrapping one arm around Meera's waist to give her support to walk, he literally kept dragging her. With the onset of darkness brought out many night crawlers, making different noises that which scared Meera.

What if some animal comes and kills us? She thought walking slowly in that muddy ground. With just moon's meagre light they could hardly see ahead of them.

'Shit..they escaped' said one of the kidnappers when he entered the room where Rahul and Meera were.

'Come on don't waste time. They must not have gone too far. Let's go and search. Take the flash lights' he said to his other associates. They began searching the flashlights so they can soon begin their search to find those missing captives.
