.

................

What he saw next surprised him a lot! He was shocked and scared to the core of his being. He could not help the tears that were beginning to come in his eyes. A loud sob left his lips and then another. His sobs were so loud that Ibrahim also started to stir. He also looked around him and he was shocked to see Zamid crying and then he looked in the direction where he was looking. He was as shocked and sad as Zamid.  But, his eyes were red with anger instead of tears.

It was hana lying on the ground in a very bad shape. Her shirt from right shoulder was torn and her White bra was seen till the top of right cup. Her light blue tights were also torn from knees and her knees were scraped and bleeding. He neck and right arm (Since the cloth was torn from that area) had angry red hand prints and her face was also having bruises. Her light brown mid length hair were spread on the floor around her in a hollow. She was unconscious but was breathing softly through her bleeding nose. Her lower lip was also bleeding.

By her condition, everyone can see that she was forced into something that was a worst nightmare for any girl. After sobbing a little, Zamid came to his senses as he thought of a way to get out of here. He can’t bare to waste more time this or he knows that something more worse is coming there way.

“Ibrahim, what is going on? Who were they?” Zamid asked in a hoarse voice due to crying.

“I am not sure but maybe they are from Dubai!” Ibrahim replied in a confused manner as he was not sure who they were.

“Okay but we need to get out of here! I will come towards you and will try to open the ropes with my hands. I know we are both tied but I will turn with my back to your back and will try to open the knot!” Zamid nodded and then explained his plan of escape. Ibrahim nodded but he was still looking at Hana’s unconscious body that was on the other corner from them. He was seething in anger.

Zamid crawled towards Ibrahim and tried to open his ropes. After trying for a little while, he got frustrated and tired but he still did not give up as his motivation was in this room and unconscious in a very bad shape. After trying a little bit more, he was able to free Ibrahim’s hands. Ibrahim hurriedly opened Zamid’s hands and both of them started to free their legs too from the ropes.

Zamid was the first one to get free from the ropes and he stood up and hurriedly walked towards hana. Before he could reach her, Ibrahim and he heard shouting and gun shots. The metal door to the dim cellar in which they were kept was banged opened and before they could interpret what was going on, a person stood in the threshold with gun pointed towards Zamid. The person looked here and there and when his eyes fell on hana, he pointed the gun at her and shot. Zamid shouted and ran towards her as he was closer to her. One shot hit her in the right shoulder, just about her breast. She screamed in pain and awake from her unconscious state. Before the second bullet could pierce her, Zamid covered her body with his own body and got shot on the backside of his left shoulder. He groaned in pain but did not get up from his place. Ibrahim had reached that person before he could shoot more and he kicked that person’s hand and the gun fell to the ground. Ibrahim kicked the gun and without looking at where it went, he started to punch the person in his face. He was punching with so much anger and red eyes that the person lost consciousness within some punches but he still had not left the person.

He was tugged from that person away before he could kill him with his bare hands. He finally started to see what was around him now. He saw that the police was here and they were tugging him away from the shooter’s bloodied face.

“Honey, baby uth na yar! Uth ja please! (Honey, baby please get up! Get up na!) Nothing is going to happen! I am here! Just don’t close your eyes! Stay with me! Please!” hanan’s pleading voice reached ibrahim’s ears and he looked in the corner where hanan and Zamid were leaning over her body. Hanan was trying to keep her awake till the ambulance arrives while Zamid was stroking her face gently and looking at her with pain on his face. His shoulder was bleeding profusely but he was ignoring it. Ibrahim knew that he will only feel pain after the adrenaline had stopped the rush that was why Zamid was not feeling his own wound right now.
