Gun... Fire.... Bullet...marriage.. Violet...

"No no no no" I woke up screaming.

"Hey hey relax. You had a bad dream" a lady of around 30 came and consoled me by tapping my shoulder.

I looked at her trying to recall her but I couldn't. Then I tried to recall the place where I was, but again I failed.

"You take your pills here. I will just be back" and she left.

I looked around to the room and I found it very small and black and white. The bed was large enough to cover the whole bedroom. Beside the bed there was a small dressing table with some makeup and perfumes. As I stepped more closer to the dressing table the reflection of the window was visible through the mirror. I instantly move closer to the window to look to the outer world. As I tried to open the window I found that it was locked. I tried to unlock the window with all the energy I possess but I was unable to. I realized that I was now caged in this bedroom.

I realized that I have no where to go. This room has all the luxuries, the bed, the dresser, umakeup, bathroom, wardrobe but yet it felt empty.

The sunshine was reaching through the window to my face yet it didn't bring any colors to my life. After a while, I moved towards the bathroom to wash my pale face. When I entered in the bathroom, the white tiles were not white anymore. They were brown instead. I cleaned myself somehow and I opened up the wardrobe to see my clothes messed up. My heart was sinking, I was shattered. I wanted to run away but I am an animal who will be tamed only by the owner of this pathetic small room.

"Hey you're awake" said a lady who was in her mid 50s as there were fine lines near her eyes and lips and have dark grey hairs. She had different outfit from the lady that was here.

I looked at her, puzzled. I don't know how to respond her.

"I believe you are Sia. Right?" She asked

She knows my name. That means she definitely know about me and why I am bought here.

But what if she doesn't.

"You know me?"

"Everyone here knows you. Mr. Nicholson had told so much about you"

That was a reality check for me that I was indeed in the house of my kidnapper.

I smiled towards her.

"How are you feeling now?" She threw another question.

Shattered, broken, miserable and dirty

"I am fine. Thanks "

"Great. Doctor had advised rest for you. I will send your breakfast in your room." She smiled and left.

The word breakfast made me hungry..

She bought scrambled eggs with coffee which I ate delightfully.

Just then Mr. Ashar came in to the room.

He was wearing black pant and dull blue shirt with silk tie.

"Please leave us alone for a moment Samantha" he said to that 50 year old lady whose name I know now.

She left and closed the door behind.

It was really awkward to be in the same house and same room with him.

I just looked downward, not letting my eyes meeting his.

"How are you ?" He asked.

I raised my eyes towards his face slowly. I saw that he didn't had his wedding ring in his finger.

Neither I expect it would be.

"It doesn't matter " I turned around and crossed my arms and then I felt wedding ring on my finger.

"Ya. It doesn't matter and I really don't care. I wanted to make sure that you are stable enough to understand what I am going to talk"

"Just get over with it and get lost"

He came towards me and griped my elbows making me turn me towards him.

"Look! Keep your ego in your pockets. Dont show them to me" He came incredibly closer to me now. I was leaning to increase some distance as he had still have my elbow gripped in his strong hands.

He came superbly close to my lips and said in husky voice "you have no idea what I can do to you". He then let go his hand that was over my elbow making me fall on bed.

I didn't say anything. But I looked at him in anger, but he stays unaffected

" First thing first. You will not go to office anymore "

What the f***

Really??

"W-what Why?" I snapped.

"Because I said so. I can't tolerate you everywhere. So you'll be staying at home."

It wasn't a good time to argue. Because he will not understand talks, he'll understand kicks.

And I am going to kick him harder.

"This is your new phone with new number and I had already saved my, Samantha's and Eddy's numbers in it. Don't call me unless the house is on fire. Ask Samantha for your petty issues."

I dont know whether he was playing good or bad.

"And needless to say,you are not going out of this house. Is it clear?"

"Yes Mr. Ashar" - I said with a sigh.

"Good" and he was leaving when I stopped him.

"Mr. Ashar, there is one thing I need to do please" my words grabbed his attention.

"What?" He look pissed off.

"I need to buy some personal stuff today as it is important"- I said.

" Ask Eddy. He will bring those for you" He said and again turned to leave

"I can't ask a man to buy some bras, panties and sanitary items for me".

I was super awkward now. But I had to do this.These are important for any female.

"Did you check your wardrobe" He asked and looked confused

"Ya. But they are not my type and I won't be comfortable. Plus the quality you know can give me rashes. I have a personal choice in those items"

Come on give up now Ashar

"Tell Samantha then" he came up with another option

"Mr. Ashar I already told you that I have certain choice in it. I have to check material, size, quality, etc."

He was in deep thoughts and put his hands in his pockets.

"See I didnt argue when you said that I cant go to office. Atleast you can give me this much freedom. Its really urgent as I'll be needing them anytime soon" I made innocent face.

"Ok. But my two men will go with you." I nodded.

"Here take this credit card for your stuff" he handed over his credit card

Just perfect.

He left and I started to get ready. I wore a black shirt with black trouser. Also I took a scarf which luckily I found in wardrobe and some makeup and adjusted them in my pockets and at other places.

I went out and there were two men were standing,probably waiting for me.

I came down and looked at them. They both had guns that is visible pretty much.

I sat with them and they took me to a shopping mart which was hardly 30 minutes of drive.

I was recalling everything that I had to do. I had mixed feelings of anger and fear.

But anger was much more than fear.

I know I can die. But I want to leave a mark on him so bad that he couldn't forget.

We went in the store and looked for ladies section.

There was a door and it was only for females to enter.

I turned to both of them and said " Do you guys have some cash?"

One of them who was taller then the other asked "why?"

"Because this credit card doesn't have my name on it and their machines are sometimes out of order."

They both looked each other and the other guy gave me some bucks.

I fakely counted them.

"Make it quick" the taller guy said.

Now time for execution

I went in silently hoping the girl on counter doesn't see me. I opened the door and realize it was one way and I can see outside. Then I made my way to changing room quickly and covered myself with scarf, wore glasses and applied makeup to change my look.

I wanted to become unrecognizable.

I added some black spots around my checks and lips.

Then I started to look for someone.

I took few things and went to the lady on counter who had phone.

I whispered "Excuse me. I need your help please"

She was old woman around 60 years.

"What happen?" She asked.

I put forward Mr. Ashar's credit card.

"I along with those guys works for this man whose name is on credit card" and also pointed to those 2 men standing outside

"We had kidnapped a lady and my boss will be killing her today" I started to weep.

She gasped "oh my Jesus"

"I want to save her but I can't. Can you please inform police about this man? He had hidden her in one of his places. She have a mother just like you who is waiting for her daughter to return"

Emotional blackmailing along with acting.

I gave her items and paid by cash.

"Please do tell police soon. She doesn't have much time"

The lady noted the credit card number and name and returned it back to me.

I took the scarf out and went to those two men.

"Why are you hiding your face?" One of them asked.

I didn't want them to see me in makeup so I covered it before they saw me.

I started sneezing and coughing fakely

"Its an allergic reaction. I have to use the restroom please"

They both took me to restroom

"Dont try to run" one of man said.

"Where I can run with this allergy" I said while coughing harder and when inside.

I locked the door and took deep breaths.

I was shivering and I was cold.

What of the lady didn't call police?

What if Mr. Ashar came to know that I was behind all of this? he'll be very bad.

He made me do this. I dont mind dying. There is actually nothing left in my life worth to live.

I will die peacefully because I gave him a hard time.

I washed my face and removed makeup.

I feel like you're going to have a damn hard time Mr. Ashar.. I smirked to myself in mirror and left.
