I really need to act fast on this kidnapping issue. First, I need to find who is the hidden mole among us. I look at each faces that were sitting here in the sitting room, they all didn't notice my gaze on them. Who could this betrayal be among them? Could it be hindatu? Cos I can't take all the hate look she kept shooting at me. Who knows,maybe she might be an accomplice of samira, no one can tell. Or maybe it's the driver man who saw when the kidnapping happened? No no no, I don't think he will do such thing. He value his work.

The police raid samira's house but she wasn't there.

But who could it be. I trust my family, no one would dare go against the family among us. I know Nasir(my brother) won't do something like that and I'm also sure that Sadiya isn't heartless to do something like that either, she is my baby sis after all and I trust her.

The police raid samira's house but she wasn't there. She escaped.

" son, what are you thinking about? " I was interrupted by my in law's voice,ameera's dad.

" I keep having this thought on who could do such thing as kidnapping Ameera. I still don't believe that their is a betrayal among us"

" you don't need to think to much son. We should keep praying to our Allah. He is the only one that can take us out of these situation, I have believe that your wife, my daughter would come home soon. So don't think too much and whosoever the mole might be , he or she is going to pay dearly for his or her actions "

I nodded and him. I'm so grateful for his kind words

" Thank you baba for your kind words. "

I'm such a fool. How can I tell him that his daughter and I are already divorced. But it wasn't my fault I thought she cheated on me and it hurt my feelings then.

Now that I already know that it was all samira's doing. But how did we allow the devil to come between us.

Trust

I didn't trust Ameera enough . What is a happy marriage when there is no trust, I should have trusted my wife. She repeatedly try to explain but I never gave her a chance, I promise to listen to her when I get her back. I want to know all that has happened.

Ameera's dad left to sit close to his wife. It's now three hours now since we received that call, the police left to do some investigation and my family and Ameera's family stayed behind. They all want to be there for me. I'm grateful for their kindness

I miss Ameera already.

please don't hurt me. "

I pleaded as I was being drag by Faisal to God knows where. One hour after samira and bashir left, Faisal just came into the room and order me to stand up coz we are going somewhere.

" just shut up already" I quickly clasp my mouth shut " turn around " he ordered

I did as I was told and the next thing ,I felt a fabric being tied round my face.

" what is happening, please where are you taking me to. Please don't hurt my baby, please " I struggled on his hold

" a baby? What do you mean a baby? . Are you pregnant Ameera? " Faisal asked with a surprised tone

No need for hiding it anymore, so I nod my head.

" ya Allah, why didn't you think of telling me since. I can't hurt a baby" he roared in anger

I began to quiver coz his tone scares me as I can't see his face coz it's already tied with a piece of cloth.

" please help me faisal"

" help you? How do you expect me to help you when I'm already deep into this shit. There is nothing else I can do about it" with that he pushed me to walk and I heard the opening of car. I was also pushed into the car.

Does that mean I'm about to meet the big boss?

I tried calling the number samira called me with but it was switched off. Ughhhh

" Calm down"

" I'm tired of everything. I don't know whether this is my punishment for what I had done to Ameera but she shouldn't have been the one kidnapped"

" what do you mean by punishment? Did you do something bad to Ameera? " asked Khalifa quizzically

" Ameera and I are divorced " I rush it out

" what do you mean" Khalifa's eyes almost bulged out

" I don't even know what to do. I'm confused right now "

" how did it happened? What could she have done that would make you take a rash decision as divorcing her, Amir" Khalifa bellowed out

I told him all that had happened and he listened attentively

" I didn't trust my wife enough to believe her, I'm was so stupid and now I'm regretting my actions . I should have at least given her a chance to defend herself but I didn't. I let this jealousy and hurt feelings I had overruled me"

" How can you do something like that. You should have talk to someone older than you for advice or you should have told your mum"

" Don't you think I wanted to? I wanted to, Khalifa. At that time my dad's birthday preparations was coming up and I just couldn't let my problems affect them. I was hurt"

" Then you should have called me. "

" I also didn't want to bother you. I just don't know what to do. Especially now that everyone thought we are still happily married, how am I going to tell them the news "

" You deserve it Amir. That girl was a good girl, at first glance, one would know she isn't that kind of girl who whore herself around. You are so stupid for not seeing that. Let's not blame all on samira,part of it is also your fault "

." I know, I know"

" I don't even know what else to say to you. I'm going out for some air, you better find a way to tell her parents. Goodbye " he left

I blowout a frustrating breath. What am I going to do, how will I lay down the matter. Please help, ya Allah.

I think, it's best I don't tell them now with all that is happening. I will wait till we find Ameera. I walk out of the room to join the rest.

I jog down the stairs and walk toward the direction were everyone was sat only to be stopped by the hard glare hindatu shot at me.

I can't take this hate look anymore so I snapped

" what is your problem with me. I'm sick and tired of this new attitude of yours towards me"

Everyone's eyes was on me in surprise. They all were wondering why I was talking to hindatu like that all of a sudden

She too wasn't having it, she stood up to match my hard glare

" I'm also tired of you acting like a good person when you are not" she snapped back

" shut your mouth hindatu, you're talking to Amir. You might be cousins but he still is older than you" dad yelled angrily he then turn to me

" and you, what is wrong with you? You just came down the stairs and the next thing you started to shout at her what did she do to you?"

" Dad, ask her. Even I too don't know what I did do her that made her keep glaring at me"

" for God sake you too aren't small kids. You are adults why don't you behave like one. Now, hindatu what did Amir do to you that made you always glare at him all of a sudden "

She sighed " Dad, I'm sorry for my silly actions. It just that I couldn't hold what I found out about Amir. Anytime I remember, it keeps eating me up that I should snap"

" Now tell me what it is"

" Dad, I think Amir should say it himself at least he owe Ameera that"

Dad and I looked at her confused . What did I do to her, what does she mean I owe it to ameera

" I still don't get you, Hindatu. Karki raina mun hankali fa ( don't dare turn my brain around) . Tell me what you mean".

" OK, since he still don't want to admit what he did to Ameera, I will tell you all"

Everyone were all listening to her now. Even I too want to know what I did wrong and I'm sure it isn't about my divorce with Ameera.

" Amir divorced Ameera, he accused her of cheating. Let me rephrase that, he called her a whore" she said angrily

" what! "

" innalillahi"

" ya rasulu"

" waiyazubilla"

Different comment was passed at the same time. They all held a shock faces at the news.

" what have you done, Amir?" mom asked with eyes that says I was a shame to her

" please mom, I didn't mean to. It's the devils hand work " I tried defending myself

" see this stupid boy, he is even blaming it on the devil. When you're the devil yourself. How can you do such thing"

" what did my daughter do to you" Ameera Mom said as she kept crying

" mama, please I'm very sorry. I know I was stupid but please you all should give me a chance to mend all my mistakes "

" How will you mend your mistakes when one of your lovers already kidnapped her" hindatu gritted out

" what do you mean by lover. Are you trying to say that the kidnapper girl is Amir's girlfriend " mom asked in shock. She angrily march to my place and the next thing she slapped me hard on my face

" you're useless. I didn't bring you up to be an idiot and a fool"

" mom, please . Let me explain everything to you. I swear, I already ended things with samira, it isn't true" I tried begging mom but sh e just won't listen, mom felt betrayed

She look at me with a hurtful face " How can you do that to ameera, what has she done that made you make a rash decision?. TELL ME"

I tried moving forward to hold her hand, I want her to understand my situation. Mom hit my hand away

" mum please calm down" I said in a painful voice

Dad came forward to pet her, she was crying at my betrayal to Ameera. The others were also ashamed of me, Khalifa already know the story so he kept glaring at me. I know I deserve it all,i know.

" Don't tell me to calm down. If you don't tell us what had happened between Ameera and you, sai na wanka maka Mari ( I will slap you )"

" please mama, don't let us do this here. At least not in the front of my in laws"

Mom scoffed " in-laws you don't even respect, what am I even saying self, you don't respect us your parent too. If you had a single respect for us all, you would have converse your problem with us your parent or even Ameera's parent before making a rash decision as grave as divorce " she angrily said with a look of pity. That pity look meant I pity your life.

" please mom, i-

" shut up Amir, don't say anymore word if you are not going to tell us what had happened "

" mom pleas-

" I said shut up" she shouted.

She walk to hindatu " hindatu ,tell us what you know and how did you know about all this"

" OK mom, it was the night Ameera was kidnapped. She told me about it all, well she never wanted to tell me but I use my psychology intelligent to make her talk and she talked. She said she was accused wrongly by her husband here, he accused her of cheating . I just cou--

" Shut up hindatu. This isn't your fight

" No, you shut up. You should have man up enough to stop yourself from doing something as insulting your wife" yell dad

" OK fine, I know I have betrayed all your trust. I to never wished for something like that to happen, I was in a hard time then. Too much of things were happening in the office and I felt so overloaded with problems. I didn't know what to do at that time ,I just let all the anger I had from work and the hurt feeling I had when I thought Ameera was cheating on me over ruled me. Please forgive me, I swear I wasn't thinking straight. "

Still they didn't want to listen to me

" what do you mean by there was a problem at the office ?" dad asked

" There is this man who think he can take the CEO position from me. He owns almost up-to the share I have. I don't know where he came up from, all I know is that the old shareholders sold there shares to this man . He just popped up from no where and he has been making my life miserable at the office. The remaining shareholders don't even consider me there boss and I don't even know what lie he might have told them all"

" and you didn't say this all these time? Why didn't you tell me Amir? "

" please dad, I want to but I just couldn't let my problems stop you from enjoying your birthday, I just couldn't. I didn't want you all to get worried "

" worried you say? You don't tell me to not get worried when you were at a rough phase at that time, you should have told me or your mother. Things wouldn't have gotten worse "

" I'm sorry"

" sorry for yourself not me. Tell me what you found out on this so called man you're talking about ,he might be working for the enemies. I want to meet him tomorrow "

" OK dad. I did some investigation on him but I haven't yet found something worthy to destroy him yet"

walk fast" after we reach our destination, Faisal loose the piece of cloth wrapped around my face and I was met with a beautiful house . Where is this place? It look like we are in a restricted area.

My legs and hand is tied up but still Faisal kept insisting that I should walk fast to the house. I mean, how will I walk fast when I'm finding it hard to walk with a tied leg.

" Ameera I will push you if you don't walk"

"how will I walk when my leg is tied up. It's either you untie it or I don't walk at all"

Before I know it I was carried by faisal

" put me down, put me down. What gave you the right to touch me, put me down" I kept shouting

" shut up" that's the only thing he said and he walk with me around his left shoulder to the house. He knocked and the door was immediately opened.

He went inside still with me on his shoulder.

" you're here at last" a deep voice said. Faisal dropped me down and went forward to greet the man. The man's back was facing me so I wasn't able to see his face. Two bodyguards drag me to where Faisal and the man were seated. They pushed me to the floor

The old man met my eyes " you are the popular Ameera who married the bastard that broke my daughter's heart"

Which daughter his he talking about. Could it be that he is samira's dad?

" I can see that you're wondering who I might be. Anyways I'm samira's dad"

" please sir, I'm begging you with Allah let me go. I did nothing wrong to you or your daughter"

He tsked" My dear since you're married to that family, you've done something to us"

"please sir, don't hurt me or my child "

" This is really getting interesting, I'm going to do more than hurting you dear. No one dares cross the line with my family and go scout free"

I was seriously shaking from were I was sitting on the floor. I'm scared of what is to happen.

" Faisal take her to the lock room far away from the house, make sure she doesn't escape. Tomorrow we have a call to make to my long lost best friend "
