I Got Breastfed Again

029 Kidnappers

Days passed one by one. Mom continued getting bigger and bigger. So dad arranged a maid.

The election was finally declared. Dad's boss, Johny Vargheese declared his candidacy. This created big news in our area. Because dad's work in the past five months had made him pretty famous. On top of that, dad used many other tricks to make it news to attract public interest. I will explain them later if anyone is interested in boring political tactics. Anyway, dad's actions added a bit of pressure on the other contestants.

As usual, dad had gone to work in the morning. Mom was in the kitchen doing something and the maid had left as her morning duty was over. I, Doodu and Anu were on the bed. Anu was playing a children's cartoon on mom's mobile phone and we were all watching it. Doodu was on her left shoulder and I was on her right. Doodu had grown up a lot in the last few months. He was already bigger than me. But he still acted like a puppy. Dad always blamed Anu for spoiling him.

The ghost girl, Priya wasn't with us. Today morning the clock stopped running. It was an old-style pendulum clock that needed key winding every few days. Dad forgot to key it and so it was dead. Every time the clock stopped, Priya would be locked inside. So we played inside the room so that she won't be lonely.

I heard someone ringing the doorbell and mom went to talk to the visitor.

At first, they were talking normally. But then suddenly their voice raised.

"Since you don't want to listen when I am asking politely, I will do it the hard way." I heard the stranger's voice from outside and I was alarmed.

"I am not lying. Just listen..." Mom was trying to explain something to the stranger.

"I have nothing more to talk to you. Where are your kids?"

"Why do you want to see my kids?"

"We are taking them away. You and your husband can think about it and contact us later." The stranger replied.

"Kidnappers!" Anu exclaimed.

I was also shocked. I wracked my brain. In my previous life, there were indeed some talks about a failed kidnap attempt. But I never knew the details.

Anu suddenly got out of bed. She forcefully dragged me out of the bed and pushed me under it. It took me a few seconds to understand what was happening. By the time I understood what she was doing, I was under the bed.

"There she is." The stranger came into the room. He was followed by a burly man. Mom was trying to stop them.

I was scared and didn't know what to do. My entire body felt limp.

"Stop there. Do you know the consequences of what you are doing? I am a pregnant woman and my children are preteens..."

"Ya ya ya... Don't worry. Nothing bad will happen as long as your husband agrees to give me what I want." The uninvited guest replied. He was a man in his twenties.

"There is nothing like that. You are wasting your time and risking your father's reputation." Mom tried to convince the man.

"We both know that's not true. Johny is nothing but a pawn in the hands of your husband. If the current situation continues, my dad will lose. So tell me what your husband is using to control Johny and no one will get hurt." The invader threatened.

I peeked from below the bed.

A young man was talking to mom. He had a gun in his hands. Anu was in his hands. A burly man was behind him. He had a long metal pipe in his hand. Mom was standing against the wall. She was truly scared.
