*LIKE A MOTH DRAWN TO FLAME*
((flashback))
Shots of gun ranged on my ears as I dashed upstairs and burst in my room and hid beneath the bed trembling with fear. I could hear the laugh and footsteps approaching my room as I sank deeper under my bed h...
after for more than a 30 minutes of drive i now stood before a gigantic withered house..Adrenaline floods my system, It pumps and beats like it's trying to escape.My body wants to either run fast for the safety of the hills or to the crate of weaponry, but instead I remain where I am. lets face it, whoever that man had become..he is still my father.
My body feels hot and sweat starts trickling down my neck.i know i was anxious and afraid..but i need to calm down..i need to be brave and pull this off...my hands tremble as i reach my hands towards the door bell. steadily i pressed it once. no response. twice and the door began to open involuntarily..
two heavily build men with disgusting face stood above me..one man smirked at me while the other one grabbed my forearm and dragged my across the the large sitting room..
"hey! fuck stop i can walk!" i screamed. as i gathered my surrounding i saw more and more scary looking man rambling in the mansion. where the hell are they taking me!? one of the man that held me produced a black blindfold from his pocket
"woah! stop " i yelled and without my protests they put it on.
"WHAT THE HELL?" my breathing got labored and fear gripped my heart. without the men noticing i turned on the microphone underneath my jacket."pls tell me where are you taking me?"
ASHER POV
The most beautiful of memories are the worst, cutting my insides as if they were shards of glass. These painful memories, they're just the same as nightmares. They vanish when I'm awake, when I'm really right here in the present moment with you. Once I really open my eyes, let in daylight, they have no choice but to leave and I can let in all the wonderful things around me.
The yelling voices echoed down the hallway into my bedroom, waking me from my sleep. The thud-thud-thud of running feet, then heavier footfalls falling them. I could hear them sprinting down the stairs then a large crash. Do I go see what has happened? Someone is weeping softly, moaning in pain. I quietly crawl across the floor into my bedroom closet being careful to be as stealthy as possible. Curling up with my pillow and blanket in the dark, cozy cave of my own making, I drift off to sleep, the noises in the hall fading away as I fall back into my dream where everything is peaceful and happy.
my eyes started to water as i sat alone in my roll Royce parked outside of the house hidden from plain sight.the laptop in front of me showed the tracker we hid without her acknowledgement... i felt utter regret and guilt for doing this to nur but she was the only one who could have helped me.
the walls of love died long time ago..the people in this mortal world are incapable of loving..you may fell euphoria at the beginning which is always followed by an intense pain.
"pls tell me where are you taking me" i heard muffled anxious voice of nur coming from the laptop..coming back to reality i switched on the lens camera and saw nothing them assholes must have blind flooded her..i quickly became attentive and patiently waited.
NUR POV
as they took off the blindfold and steadily i took hold of my surrounding It looked like a prison room. A bare bulb hangs from the ceiling and the plastic chair underneath could have been stolen from an inner-city pre-school. and an old man sat in afar from me in a rickety wooden chair.
His eyes; a familiar well of jet black ink, held a gaze more fearsome than a tiger. A thin paper cigarette hung from his bottom lip, a small trail of smoke escaping from the corner of his mouth danced its way to the ceiling above us. In one hand a gun lay loosely, his finger gently pressed against the trigger sending a bullet millimeters away from my face and onto the wall behind me with a bang that echoed throughout the room. His eyebrow raised in amusement at my reaction; nothing, not a flinch, not a single damn thing.
"libiwat shujae mithlak 'am" (my lioness brave like your mother) the man said in a deep voice
"baba" i whispered as my eyes started to water.
"abnataya malaki" (my daughter my angel) the man said in a husky voice.
"ana aerid limadha ant huna"(i know why you came here) he said in a serious expressionless voice "iirsal asher ant" (asher send you)
i nodded my head.."ikn ana huna min ajlk" (but im really here for you) "aishtaqat lak baba kathiranaan ( i miss you so much baba). my tears flowed freely now and baba's eyes seemed to soften.
"la tubki habibati" ( dont cry sweetheart) he said as he embraced me.

"sh..sh now habibat" he held my face in his hands and stared at me intently..
"eaynayk ladayk euyun mama alkhasi bik" ( your eyes you have your mama eyes) he whimpered.
''inna asif jiddan'' (im so sorry). he kissed my forehead and hugged me again.
''ana ahabik kathirana''(i love you so much)"rijayaan aetanium..(please forgive me) rijayaan aetanium" he weeped.
"min fadilk la tubki baba" (pls dont cry baba). he took out his handkerchief and wiped away the tears. "come with me my child..lets talk in my office" he said and kissed my hand.
