Chapter 3
Rehaan's POV
I walked over to a nearby shop and asked the shopkeeper for a phone, "Could you please give me a phone, so I can make a call?"
"Sure." He replied while giving me the phone, I called my gang and asked them to send me a car. After some time, a man came with a car, taking the keys he returned in a taxi.
I looked at Shafaq to tell her to get into the car, but before I could she was already coming over. She was behaving strangely, she wasn't looking at me.
She came towards the car and opened the door to the back seat. "Sit on the passenger side." I ordered her.
"I'm okay with sitting in the back." She spoke while looking down.
"Look at me!" I ordered again.
"No, I can't." She murmured.
"Why? Look at me!" I said to her louder.
"Please don't ask this of me!"
I don't know why she was doing this, I pulled her by her arms and dragged her to the front. I started driving and I looked at her, but she was looking out of the window. She was quiet, and I missed her talking, I missed her smile.
I couldn't resist asking, "Shafaq?" I called her.
"Hmm?" She responded, still not looking at me.
"Look at me!" I ordered her. She didn't respond.
"What happened to you?" I asked in a mellow tone.
"Love." She mumbled. I didn't know how I should react or what to say.
"Don't you want to know who he is?" She asked while glaring at me.
"No!"
"Why?" I didn't take the bait.
"But you must be inquisitive about him!"
"Why would I want to know about the one you love?" I lost my temper and yelled at her.
"Because you're the one responsible for this!" She screamed.
She continued shrieking, "You! You made me fall in love with you. Your eyes made me fall in love with you. Your smile made me fall in love with you. You yourself made me fall in love with you! And you're asking me why you should know!"
There were tears falling from her eyes. Oh...I can't stand this!
Instantly I placed my lips on top of hers. I felt her arms encircle my neck, and I lost all my control. My tongue met hers as I kissed her deeper and her grasp on me grew tighter. There was absolute calmness as we locked gazes, we were lost in each other's eyes.
Suddenly, a heart-wrenching thought came to mind. I quickly dodged and started the car.

Shafaq's POV
I didn't get his reaction. I know he has the same feelings for me, he was quiet and so was I. There was nothing but complete silence.
All of a sudden, he turned the car. I needed to ask him. "Why did you turn back?" I questioned in a low voice.
"To leave you behind."
"But...why?" It was unexpected.
"I don't want to put your life in danger!" He said while looking at me, love in his eyes.
"But, I don't want to go back."
"Why?" He asked shocked.
"Because I want to be with you."
"That's not possible!" He said while sounding shattered.
"Why isn't it possible?"
"Because, I don't deserve you!"
"But I love you!"
"You will forget when you are back with your parents."
"Okay, but what about you?" I questioned.
"What of me?"
"Will you forget me too?" He gave no reaction.
"Look at me!" Again, there was no reaction.
"Why are you torturing yourself?" I asked him.
"It's none of your business."
"It's none of my business? Damn it! I love you!" I yelled at him. He gave not reaction.
"Is it really so easy for you?"
"I don't do things easily."
"Oh, so you don't do things easily, but what about me?" I asked him.
"You will forget soon." He was adamant.
"I will forget you! I can't live without you!" I shouted.
"You are not safe with me."
"I am only safe with you!"
"I am your kidnapper! Why are you not getting this? I don't deserve you!" He yelled so loud.
"You must have thought it before." I spoke softly.
"When...before? Did I ask you to love me? Or did my heart ask me to love you!" He shouted.
"But did I ask you to kidnap me!" I shouted back. He gave no reaction. We were silent for a while after that. I don't want to leave him. I want to be with him my entire life, I love him so much, I really can't live without him.
"Please...please! I'm asking you, don't take me back. Take me anywhere or kill me! I can't live without you please!" I was crying.
I could see the pain in his eyes, but he was paying me no attention. He stopped the car and we both got out. He had bought a phone from the shop.
"Call them."
"Who?" I asked.
"Your parents!"
"Please, don't do this! Please don't. I can't live without you, please keep me with you!" I was crying while punching his chest. There were tears falling from his eyes.
He suddenly pulled me into his chest and hugged me tightly.
"Please don't make it more difficult for me. You have to bear this pain for your betterment." He said into my ears while he cried.
I hugged him even tighter, I was feeling calm. I never wanted to leave him but he pushed me away.
