Chapter 2
Shafaq's POV
He was dragging me behind him.
"Okay, now I'm getting curious. Please, tell me what they will do to me!" I asked desperately.
"Maybe they'll kill you."
"What! You are taking me to them to be killed, and you saved me because you want me to die by their hands, seriously!" I shouted at him.
"I'll fulfill your dream of dying soon, but first let us get out of this jungle."
"But you said that they will kill me."
"I said maybe!" He yelled back at me.
It was getting dark, and I was tired and hungry. "We have been walking for at least six hours, please let me sit and take a break." I tried to convince him.
"Oh, so you want to sit out so wild animals can come and eat you?"
"So, if we walk they won't eat us?" I retorted.
"I have a solution. I must give you over to the wild animals, your dream will be fulfilled!"
"Hahaha! Was I supposed to laugh." I condescend.
"No! You're supposed to shut your mouth."
"Okay, if that's what you want. I won't speak another word even if you tell me to."
"Thank you so much!"
We were walking so for long, I got tired of not speaking. I wanted to talk, he is so boring and what type of job did he do? To transfer human parcels without knowing what they do to them at the end! Real kidnappers are better than him, at least they know what they are going to do.
Suddenly there was a roar, it sounded like a lion.
"Please save me! I don't want to die, I'm only seventeen!" I begged him.
"You just kept quiet for ten minutes."
"Okay, I lost! It's really hard for me to keep quiet, but please get me out of this jungle! I will go with you, whatever you say...please just save my life!" I cried to him.
"Whatever I say?" He asked with an evil smile on his face.
"Yes! I am not afraid of you." I said loudly to make myself clear.
After walking for two more hours, he began to look tired as well. But if I say anything about him looking tired, he definitely won't let us sit down, so I got an idea.
"Ouch! My feet are hurting! Ahh...ahhh!" I began to cry and after a second, I pretended to fall unconscious. I was about to fall down but he caught me in his arms.
I know he was looking at my face because I could feel his warm breath. I felt some liquid drip on my face. It was his sweat, I scrunched my face in disgust.
"Ahh! What the...!" I shouted after he threw me down. I stood up and said, "You're not as dumb as I thought."
"Actually, you're dumb, and your idea was dumb." He laughed at me. He was laughing at my stupid act and I was looking at him. Oh my god, he looks damn cute. His laugh and smile are just breathtaking.
I swear if he was not my kidnapper, then I would be his, he's an interesting person.

Rehaan's POV
Why doesn't she hate me? I must show her my hard side, I've been doing this business for three years and I've never experienced this kind of parcel. She has something in her that makes her different, and I am trying to be hard with her, but she always makes my heart soft with her cute acts. But I won't let it happen, I won't let it change me, I am a bad person and that can't be changed.
I dragged her behind me and I was pressing her arms with tremendous force. I'm sure it was hurting her, but I didn't want to care.
I was moving forward but she stopped, turning around she fell down. "Do you really think you will fool me again?" She gave no reaction.
"Oh please! Enough with the drama, we have to get out of this jungle!" She didn't move.
"Okay, enjoy your charade. I'm leaving!" I left her, thinking that she would follow behind herself. After putting a large amount of distance between us I heard the roar of wild animals. I turned back, and she wasn't there.
"Oh my god! She was really unconscious; how could I have been so careless!" I shouted in anger as I hit my hand on the tree.
I started running back to save her, I hope she wasn't in any trouble.
"Shafaq! Shafaq! Don't worry I'm coming!" I shouted into the jungle.
There was a strange feeling in my heart, I feared to lose her. I was feeling an unfamiliar pain inside of me, and I didn't know why. I felt like some part of me was missing, I couldn't survive.
I rushed over and saw her lying there, breathing a sigh of relief. Picking her up in my arms I looked at her. She looked damn innocent, long lashes, pink lips, everything about her is perfect. She's so beautiful.
I carried her out of the jungle and moved to fins a safe space. Yeah! I finally found the way! Lightening noises were coming from a populated area, I took her over and on the side of road, away from the jungle. I brought water from a nearby dhaba and tried to wake her up by showering it over her face.
She suddenly opened her eyes, "You saved me! You got me out of jungle!" She murmured. She stood up and hugged me, I was shocked, and my eyes were wide.
"Thank you for getting me out, you knew I was afraid. I tried my best to keep myself busy, but you don't know how scared I was." Her face was resting on my chest, she was crying like a baby.
I wanted to make her relax, I wanted to wipe her tears. I wanted to tell her that she was safe while I am with her, I wanted to make her smile.
But I couldn't, so I pushed her away. Doing this to her was hurting me, for the first time I was feeling bad for myself. I don't really know when she became so important to me, or when she became my life.
It was hurting me inside. I want to heal her pain, but it can only be cured if I make her mine.
Turning away from her, I began to move slowly. "Let's go." I ordered her.
"Where?" Her voice was dim.
"You said you would go anywhere with me if I saved you." I quickly reminded her.
"Yes. I will go anywhere with you." This time her tone was different, the way she spoke the words. Her eyes were showing me that the words came directly from her heart.
I can read her eyes, her mind, and her heart. I can read her!
I knew she was feeling something for me, I knew her heart was feeling the same emotions mine was. But I have to stop!
I have to do something worse to keep her away from me, I have to make her hate me.
