Chapter 4
Shafaq's POV -
"I am going into that shop, I will be watching until your father comes."
I could see how his eyes were sobbing. I could feel how his heart was screeching. But the only thing I wanted was to hear him say "Don't go!"
But my desire wasn't going to be fulfilled, he turned away and began moving towards the shop. My eyes were drowning with tears, I was crying badly, as I sat down on the side of the road totally broken.
"Don't leave me!" I screamed. He turned to look at me, but he was in worse condition than me. He couldn't scream, he couldn't cry out. He was looking at me with apologetic eyes when suddenly it started raining heavily, and he turned moving into the shop.
I was yelling while sitting on the side of the road, I wasn't in control, I wasn't conscious of my movements. He was watching me though the glass of the shop. After some time two cars stopped near me, the doors opened, and my mom and dad got out of the car.
I ran towards them and hugged them tightly. "Shafaq, beta are you alright?" Mom asked me while kissing my forehead.
"Yes." I replied in a dim voice. Suddenly my eyes moved over to the other car, it was a police car.
"Dad they...?" I tried to ask my dad, but he interrupted me.
"Don't worry beta, the police are checking all of the shops that are near. They received news that the kidnapper is in the area, soon that bastard will be in prison."
I got worried, "No!" I whispered.
"Dad, please as the police officers to go back! There is no kidnapper, they are wasting their time!" I tried to convince him.
I looked into the shop, he was still standing there and staring at me. I tried to tell him to run with my hands, but he was lost in his thoughts, he took no notice of me.
I was so tense, I tried my best to convince my dad, but he paid me no heed. When I turned back to see him, the police team was standing with him, handcuffs on his wrists. I was totally blank, I didn't know how I would save him.
There were just tears falling from my eyes, he wasn't saying or doing anything. He was just looking at me, he looked intoxicated.
"He is the most wanted criminal, he has kidnapped so many in the last three years, and not a single girl was found. You are lucky that you got your daughter back." The police officer told my dad.
"No! Don't say that about him!" I shouted at the police officer.
"Shafaq, beta?" Dad tried to say something, but I interrupted him.
"No Dad! Ask them to leave him, I won't let them punish him!" I was yelling.
But my dad did nothing, they were still taking him. They were about to open the door of their car, but I jumped in front of them.
"No! I won't let you take him!" I screamed at them. My dad dragged me away, "No! Dad, they can't take him please! Please stop them! Please, Dad!" I was crying loudly but he still didn't stop them.
