Ruzhaan was blazing with fury and fear at the same time as he threw his phone hard crashing it pieces on the floor.

"Yeh wahi Delhi wala hai na jisse tu milne gaya tha? Kya bola wo?"
(He's that Delhi guy that you went to meet? What did he say?)

"He has my Rahina. And he's threatening me that he'll...." Ruzhaan shut his eyes banging his fist on the table.

"Don't worry. He won't lay finger on our bhabhi if I cut of his hands and cascatrate him. Let's go. I'll ready the boys."
Saying that Taha turned to leave.

"No need. He has called me alone."

"So what? You'll really go alone? Have you lost it already? That man us a beast. Don't you remember what happened last time? He managed to stab you even though we were there. His gang in huge....and he'll make sure you both don't get out alive." Taha warned.

"That beast has my Rahina. And do you really think I won't be able to handle such a small thug? I'll take him down and bring my wife back."

"She's not just your wife, but also my sister! And I'm not going there because I don't believe in you... I'm going for her. So shut your lecture and tell me where my sister is!"
Taha said firmly.

Ruzhaan smirked at his response.
"What magic had that little kitten casted on us? The people who didn't even cared about themselves are soo worked up for her."

"Guess we need to ask her ourselves when we bring her back."

Ruzhaan nodded.

"You're not going only by yourselves. I'm not coming too."

Both the men turned to the door and thier eyes widened, more with anger than shock to see Uzair!

"YOU?!" Ruzhaan growled.

"You finally decided to show up after almost killing me." Taha snapped.

"And I will admit that I'm slightly disappointed to see you standing alive right now." Uzair retorted callously.

"Why are you here?" Ruzhaan tried to stay calm.

"Rahina is in danger and I'm going to help save her."

"No one needs you. Get lost again before I kill you for real this time." Ruzhaan warned.

"She's my..."

"SHE'S MY WIFE!" Ruzhaan's voice echoed throughout the villa.
"... she's no one to you anymore. So leave." Ruzhaan cut him off.

"Well then... we'll have to ask her that ourselves." Uzair said.

####
My eyes flickered open to this throbbing pain in my head.

Where was I?
Why is there a white ceiling over my head?
Wasn't I going to the xerox shop?

I tried to move my limb but.... I couldn't?! I panicked. I was restrained. Spread out like a starfish in an unfamiliar room, onto someone else's bed.

What's going on!

Fragments of memories began forming a clear picture in my vision.

Leaving the college campus I went around searching for a Xerox shop. Then I entered an ally, someone was following me. Suddenly someone jumped in front of me and....

Then what?
Did they bring me here?

Panic and anxiety were overloading my brain. My heart was pounding and I was sweating badly. I was terrified now thrashing at my restraints but it was no use. All it did was scratch and burn through my skin.

"Help! Help! Someone help me please....help!!!!" I kept screaming pointlessly. Tears streaming down my face.

"Oh, so you're finally awake bhabhi."

I turned my head to find the source of the voice. A tall tanned man entered the room.
Who is this?!

"Wow! You really look soo irresistible squirming like that. I wonder how long I can resist till your husband comes here." He said in a filthy manner.

"Wha....who...who are you? Why have you tied me up like this? Let me go!" I screamed trashing more at the restraints almost about to break down. I was in such a vulnerable position and on top of that, his eyes were soo....dirty.

"Me? I'm just a well wisher of your dear husband and I just have a simple enough wish for him.....To kill him!"
He grinned in a sinister way.

My heart almost stopped.

He wants to kill Ruzhaan?!

Suddenly he walked towards me as I tried to squirm away from him but it was no use. He got on the bed scaring me even more and my fears reached its peak as he hovered over me and brought his hand forward to touch my face but I moved it away immediately shutting my eyes.

"Are you rejecting me?" He asked sounding amused.

"K...keep your filthy hands off me you dirty scum!" I tried to keep my voice as stern as I could.

He laughed loudly
"You really are a Mafia boss' wife huh? Trying to be brave are we? Do you have any idea what I can do to you in seconds? How I can rip off your clothes and fuck you till you pass out?"

I froze at his horrifying words.

He grabbed my chin harshly making me look up at him
"You see darling... he's not as easy as I thought. That man's got fire....but even that kindling fire has a weak spot. And that's you! That's why you're here. My initial plan was to dispose you off too after I killed him but now that I have a good look on you...." He said moving his eyes on my body licking his lip as shivers of disgust ran down my spine.
".... I'll just keep you as my play thing. Not bad eh?"

"Shut up!" I yelled angrily. But I knew I was in no situation to be fiesty or agressive. Maybe I could talk to him.
" Listen," I began calmly.
"...please just let me go.... Ruzhaan won't come here anyway. He....hates me." I said the last part swallowing the lump in my throat remembering how he...set me free.

"Really? It didn't sound like that when I talked to him before."

I watched him stupified.

A man came from behind.
"Boss, that Ruzhaan is here."

A gasp escaped my lips and that man smirked at me.
"Your dear hubby is here. Don't worry, I'll bring his deadbody in to lay beside you right before I lay you beneath me." He winked and getting off me turned to his heels. Letting me take a short breath of relief.

His words scared me.

Ruzhaan isn't stupid enough to come alone right? Well, Taha wouldn't ever let him.

I was praying for him in tears.

∆∆∆∆

Third person POV,
Ruzhaan in his rage walked in to the hall where there were already 30 or maybe even 50 gangsters ready with chains, bats and other weapons for his welcome and between them was thier leader. Rajveer!

"Wow! You really did came alone huh. Seems like you really do love your wife a lot." He mocked.

"Is that why you arranged soo many dogs to welcome me? Or were you afraid to meet me alone that's why you're hiding like a little puppy between your men." Ruzhaan retorted.

"Is that you being nonchalant?"

"No, but maybe you're trying to be but are failing at it miserably." Ruzhaan smirked.

Rajveer laughed.
"You're soo funny, but I'm bored now. Boys....give our special guest a royal welcome now." He snapped his fingers and one by one the men lunged at Ruzhaan. But he wasn't called the Lion of the Jungle for no reason. They could hardly even touch him.

While Ruzhaan was busy here, Taha and his men were taking care of the men outside.

#####
There were voices coming from outside of people fighting and screaming. I was really scared now. Just then the door slammed open making my heart jump to my throat.

Uzair?!

I looked ahead to find Uzair running in hurriedly. Relief flooded over me seeing him.

"God! Rahina! Are you ok?"

I shook my head crying.

He hurriedly freed my wrist and feet and slowly removed the tape from my mouth.

"I'm soo sorry I'm late." He said gently carrasing my face but I couldn't pay attention to it.
"Do you know how worried I w...."

"Where's Ruzhaan?!" I questioned him desperately

He just stared at me without an answer with a shocked expression.

"Where is HE!!!"

My eyes went to the door at the person running in and forgetting everything I ran onto him throwing my arms around him and jumping on him, holding him so tight as if holding on to dear life.

"Ruzhaan.... you're here!" I was wailing. All my fears draining out with my tears on his torn black shirt.

"Rahina!" He breathed on my neck holding me tighter.

It was as if nothing could touch me anymore. I was in his arms and nothing else mattered anymore now. Not even death.

He grabbed my shoulders and held me at a distance examining me from head to toe.
"You're ok right? Are you hurt anywhere? Did he do anything to you?" His eyes roamed over me conforming as he carassed my face.

I held his hand shaking my head as me breathed relived but when I saw his condition my heart clenched.
He was all bruised up, his lip bleeding and bleeding cuts on his arms and thighs.

"Ru... Ruzhaan....they...what did they do to you?"

He wiped my tears pulling me closer.

"I'm ok... it's nothing don't cry." He said in his soothing voice.

"But... you're soo hurt..."

He raised my chin and planted a soft kiss on my forehead calming my cries.  I looked up in his dark eyes as he smiled at me pushing my messed up hair back.
"I'm fine. I promise. It doesn't even hurt. Get out of this place ok. I want you safe Rahina."
He looked past me...at Uzair.

Oh, I had completely forgotten about him.

"Take her." Ruzhaan said letting go of me and stepped back.

I shook my head and grabbed on to his torn sleeves desperately.
"No no NO! I'm not leaving. Come with us!!!" I begged him.

"I'm not alone Rahina. The guys are with me and they need me. Go with Uzair. He will take care of you and take you home safely."
He said and turned to leave but I grabbed his arm.

"No please Ruzhaan!"

He didn't turn at first and threw his head back looking up as if frustrated, then suddenly turned to me and grabbed me by my waist and another hand cradling my neck and brought his lips closer to mine but he froze midway. His heavy breaths hitting my parted lips.

I opened my eyes sadly and noticed him looking at Uzair with a guilty express as he stepped back from me.

"All I care about is you being safe that's all. So promise me.... you'll go back home safely with Uzair. Trust me Rahina, me and the guys will come back soon enough. I promise." He whispered.

I gulped nodding reluctantly. He nodded too and looked at Uzair.
"Take her. Now!"

Uzair grabbed my hand.
"Let's go."

I didn't take my eyes off Ruzhaan as I watched him disappearing from my sight.....
