HIS AMORE

Chapter 2

This chapter is Solely dedicated to loveisasweetpoison thank you for always supporting me. ❤️

Oh the gloom surrounding her,
Taking over her thoughts.
Sitting in the fields, thinking of,
how hard she fought.

All of it went down the drain,
Heart stinging full of pain.
Her vibrant world turned dark and plain.

Oh her eyes, once full of bliss,
Were now crying, and quivering lips.
Storm that didn't want to calm,
Shade under a tree, which was palm.

Oh how unfortunate was she,
Not being able to feel chrysalism.
Rather, being stuck in the storm itself.
Finding her way to realism.

Oh the pool, Poseidon didn't witness,
Held a waterfall of bitterness.
Oh how desperate was she,
To gather her scattered mess.

Inaya sat under the tree with her hands folded over her knees, rocking back and forth lightly as tears flowed freely down her cheeks. Almost angrily, she swiped at her cheeks.

No, I won't marry him. She thought to herself, shaking her head from side to side almost subconsciously.

Her step uncle had been forcing her to marry Iqbal, the son of the leader of their Gang. He is a creep. He always stares at her awkwardly which makes her feel utterly uncomfortable... she always avoids him.... She doesn't likes him at all.... And marrying him would be the last thing she will do.

But what choice do I really have? She thought to herself bitterly. Her uncle was the one who provided for her and she was in no position to defy him. She could run away, sure, but where would she go? She had no one she could turn to, no one who would help her. And how can she leave her sick bedridden Father?? She can't leave him alone with her step mother and step sister. He will die if she doesn't stay and take care of him...

The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became and all that frustration leaked out in the form of tears which streaked down her cheeks in an almost continuous stream.

Somewhere in the back of her mind she'd refused to believe her uncle would do something like that and thought that maybe he wasn't going to go through with it. But this morning, he'd had told her that they were going to get her married at the end of the week and Iqbal has asked her to meet him this evening.

That was when she realised that her step uncle truly had been serious and she'd ran out of the house. And ran some more until she found herself in an orchard, surrounded by huge mango trees on all sides. And it was only when she felt too tired to go any further had she broken down into reckless, gut wrenching sobs that came from a place deep within her.

When the sun became too much to handle, she'd taken reprieve under the shade of a nearby mango tree. How much time had lapsed since she'd ran out, she had no idea.

But judging by the position of the sun in the sky, it was going to be evening soon. Swiping at her snot filled nose with the side of the scarf she'd been wearing, she hiccuped. Her throat felt dry, her eyes swollen and were probably red, and her head throbbed almost as if someone was hitting on it with a jack hammer probably because she'd cried so much. Sighing pathetically to herself, she swiped at her cheeks, salvaging what she could of her appearance, trying to gather her wits about her. She knew crying wasn't going to help but she'd needed to vent and now that she had, she got up, ready to back and face her problems.

She was walking reluctantly towards the mansion when suddenly she heard horrifying sounds.... She could hear loud sounds of gun shots and scary shouts of people. It doesn't took her much time to understand that they were attacked. Living in a Mafia base since ten years made her see many things, which she didn't wish for. She remembers the time when she came here with her father and her mum... she was eight years old then.....

Quickly covering her face with her scarf she ran as fast as possible.... Her heart thumping loudly against her chest.... She just wants to make sure that her father is safe.... She will have to get him out of the mansion.... The fact that her father was completely alone there is enough to make her scared as hell....

The view infront of her was terrifying... Men in black suit's were everywhere. They were having advanced weapons which she has never seen... She have seen various types of weapon's and armaments but the ones they were using were completely different and more dangerous.... She was watching the frightening scene's, hiding behind a bush.....

By now one thing was crystal clear to her that, she can never meet her father alive if she uses this way.... She Will have to use the hidden way which is only known to her..... In these ten years she has discovered many things about the mansion and that secret way is one of those.... Whenever she feels to visit Sana, one of her friends from the village, she uses that way... It saves her from the beatings of her step mom, who wants to cage her in that Mansion.

Immediately turning back she hurried towards the way and after nearly fifteen minutes she was inside the mansion, her eye's widened looking at the deserted state.... everything in the corridors were broken.... She rushed towards her father's room.... In the mansion, the people who work for the gang lives there in the mansion itself. They are given separate rooms. In her father's room, her father along with her step mom lives. She shares her room with her step sister. Actually that room does not Belongs to her anymore. It belongs to her step sister. Inaya only has a corner for her where she sleeps at night and where few of her dresses are kept with some essential things.

Getting inside the room the first thing she saw was her father laying on the bed with his oxygen mask as always... Her Eyes darted towards the right hand corner of the room and she saw her step mother and her sister hurriedly emptying the closet.

They are packing the stuffs for leaving, I should help them. She thought.... she rushed towards them...

" I think we should take Abbu out of here at first, then we can come and take all these!" She said as she reached there...

Her step mother and sister looked at her face and started laughing, mocking at her.

All of a sudden Her step sister came forward and punched her hard which resulted her in falling down on the rock hard floor. She kicked Inaya on her stomach making her screame in pain....

"You crap, why do you think we'll take you with us?" She said while glaring at her....

" please! Atleast take Abbu with you! Please Ammi! He is your husband!'' she pleded while looking at her step mom.

Her step mom came and knelt down, she slapped her and held her jaw tightly.

"Just because I'm married to your father, doesn't mean I'm bound to take care of you and that oldie in bed! I...." She was continuing when her step sister pulled her up....

"Leave this piece of shit! Uncle must be waiting for us outside! Let's leave!" She said while taking out some of the remainings from the almirah and then both of them hurried out of the room leaving a Crying and helpless Inaya....
