Sheph♧rd Daughter (Hausa Love Story)

love tangled (6)

looking around hydar. couldn't make sense of where he was... for a second he thought maybe he had died

"my prince! you've awoken at last!" a skinny man said approaching hydar in great delight. "the king and queen will be most-"

hydar wanted to ask the man what the heck he was going on about and where everybody else was but he felt a sudden and quick headache when he tried to speak and placed a hand on his forehead.

"you look pale sir..." the skinny man said worriedly and he called the doctors on the sevice radio.

they arrived in only a few seconds as if they had been preparedand ready for a long time. hydar didn't like the idea of being tested by strangers so he started to struggle in order to prop himself up but the skinny man stopped him.

"please sir... let them take a look at you" he implored. hydar glared at the man and forced out hoarsely "who.... who are you people??"

the doctors halted and exchanged looks before one of them... the head doctor, it was easy to tell from the way the others respected him finally spoke "we're not going to hurt you... in fact we want to help you"

even if hydar wanted to speak he couldn't. his body was too weak on top of the throbbing headache so he laid back... reluctantly and allowed them to take their test.

there were two things on his mind...
where this was and how is komal doing at that moment...

probably scared... if she is also trapped here like i am...

he thought as a doctor examined his eyes with some sort of torch.

so what happened?

the night of the midsummer's after komal handed hydar the necklace... somthing strange happened.

all the distant noise and music stopped and even the fireworks seize... komal felt somthing wrong and started running back to the village without thinking.

hydar dashed after her but he was still pretty slow due to his lack of training... not only that but the girl was almost supernaturally fast.

komal entered the village only to find nobody. she kept running until she reached the place the dance was being held.

what she found would stay imprinted to the back of her mind forever. all the villagers dead... killed and being thrown into a newly digged pit by soldiers.

she saw familiar faces amongst the pile of corpses. her father... sister and mother

"no... no..." she muttered absent mindedly taking a step back. she unknowingly staggered and fell.

unfortunately one of the soldiers heard her and alerted the rest. in no time at all they had circled her.

komal was still repeating the same words like a broken doll... her eyes dimmed...

"just kill her and lets get on with it" one of the men said. but just before the other could raise his gun she heard a voice call.

"komal run!" hydar yelled punching the armed soldier hard. the light in her eyes finally returned and she bolted to her feet.

she tried to run but kept staggering somehow she managed to reach the woods.

her legs gave and she collapsed.

it has to be a dream...

"sis? what are you doing here?" she heard yasars voice and quickly sat up wondering if she was hearing things.

yasar walked out from behind a tree "aren't you at the part-" he couldn't finish his sentence as she pulled him into a big hug and started to cry.
