Recap

"Zoe. How did you..... What the hell. You Fucking kidnapped my sister"

****************
"What the fuck do you mean?. She's your sister? ". Juan's eyes darted from me and Mufeedah.

"Yes of course". Mufeedah made her way between the huddled men. Now the situation has turned around. Just then the old man grabbed her hand.

"Who told you to leave?. How did you manage to escape". He hissed at her.

"You can't keep me locked up. Let me go".

So It happened that shot found out that Mufeedah wanted to run away with Juan. So he had trailed Juan to that abandoned house and that was when he tied Mufeedah up. He tied her at home after confronting her, she never denied it though. He was pissed and reinforced to kill Juan. Mufeedah managed to escape as she figured out what Shot was up to. Here they all are in one room, Mufeedah trying to save Juan. Juan wanting to kill Zoe and Aaryan, shot trying to kill Juan.

"You're so foolish to think I'll let you run away. After your plans to get rid of me". Shot's hand pierced deeper into her skin. All these while I stood watching them confused, they all know themselves and now my sister looks like a faraway stranger.

I have been thinking if, our father was different and had been a bit lenient with us, or if our mother was more caring, didn't care about what other people said, if only, if only. Would our lives had turned different?. Look at what has become of us.

"You're crazy". Spat Mufeedah. Her eyes burning with fury, fear and confusion. She looked so different.

"How dare you?. Slap. After everything slap. I've done for you. Slap. You......... ". Shot hit Mufeedah as he talked. She screamed and shielded her face from him. But the damage has been done already.

Juan stepped forward but was restricted by one of Shots men. I looked over at Aaryan wanting to say something but he clamped my mouth shut. Heart beats were heard loud and clear, eyes spoke more than our lips.

"Do you love him?". Shots words came more than a whisper. I don't understand what the hell was going on. My sister was in love with my crazy husband and then my crazy husband was to kill me before my sister's boyfriend or husband walked in, now my sister doesn't want my crazy husband dead. And then I'm just here playing the role of a kidnappee. If there's a word like that.

Mufeedah didn't talk for a while. We were a waiting for her answer. My ears were itching for her answer "Yes I do. I do more I have ever loved you". I should have been shocked but deep down I smiled, for one is that Juan will be taken away from my life and will do alot of good to me, but another voice told me it wasn't that easy.

"I should have known all along that you were like the rest pretty eyes. You'll regret the day you met Me". Shots words sounded like venom and with a swift action from his pocket, he brought out a small knife and stabbed Mufeedah in her head. I didn't know when my lips betrayed me.

"Nooooo". Came my voice mixed with another which was Juan's. I stepped forward to help Mufeedah but Aaryan held me in place, restricting my move.

"Who told you I'm done with you?". Shots face hardened as he stomped forward to Juan. Juan in anger marched to shot and they both stopped breathing with anger.

"You are going to pay for this". Juan was mad. His veins pumping but Shot was quiet and calm. I saw Aaryan make a quick move and grabbed Mufeedah's phone. It was an IPhone.

Now my attention was divided "shit. There's a password". He groaned quietly. But the men's attention was on something else. Then as If he realized, he pressed the power button five times. I looked in confusion but he grabbed my hand and started crawling quietly towards the door.

I looked back and saw Juan notice us. He stopped the argument with shot and looked at me angrily. We were close to the door but I stopped to take one look at Mufeedah, she looked alive but drained. A part of me was screaming to help her but Aaryan nudged me to move on.

"Who told you I'm done with you". That was Juan. He stepped bodly towards us and shot screamed at him. I increased my pace but his long strides caught up with me as he held my foot.

"Let me go". I shook my leg free but his grip was too strong. I don't know what object he used to cut me deep on my shoulder. I turned to look at him but I heard a gunshot. Juan slumped on me while shot's figure held a gun.

I screamed my lungs out. This day was scarred in my heart forever. I clutched my hand that was oozing with blood. Aaryan was trying to move me out but I still kept eye contact with Shot. He had a look in his eyes. It was guilt.

"Lets go". Aaryan tried to lift me up in pain but we couldn't get out of here. I needed rest.

"Wait my key" .I told Aaryan while searching fervently for it. Then I saw it lying on the floor admist all the drama. Aaryan crouched to get it while I sat in pain. I was loosing too much blood. Aaryan got it and also Mufeedah's phone. He was about to get back when Juan raised a gun.

I was too tired to scream. I wanted to warn Aaryan but he had already been shot. I screamed so hard that I was sure everyone could hear me. That was when Shot and his men left in a haste. Everything was happening too fast. I crawled to Aaryan lying in a pool of blood. He had the key in his hand and I sobbed. I was searching everywhere for a pulse but I couldn't find one. His breathing was faint.

"Noo. No. Noooo". This was too much. My heart was heavy, I can't bear to live if he dies. He coughs blood weakly.

"Aary. Aary don't die on me. Keep your eyes open. I'll find help". I was trying to speak well but I was dying too. I was dying.

"Do you seriously have to call me that now". He smirked. Even in death he was still handsome. Then I remembered everything, everytime I pushed him away. I wish I could recorrect our history, how we met and the times we have spent. I had stained him with blood but I couldn't care less.

"Don't say anything. Don't Talk". I placed my head in his head sobbing, our nose grazing against each other. He reached behind my back and pulled me close. The tears from my eyes fell on his face. He was crying too and our bitter sweet tears mixed.

"You don't know coughs how long coughs I yearned for this". He said breathlessly. At this point I wanted to change everything.

I was still sobbing. I didn't know how pained my heart felt. I was tired of this all. I reached for his hand and wrapped my hand on his hand that held my key.?I prayed silently. I prayed to God.

"I yearned for this too. I yearned for this". I replied to him.

I heard faint voices and sirens. Paramedics have come to our aid. Questions were asked and exchanged. Calls were made, I wanted to say something but the cruel hands of darkness snatched me away.
