Coerced To Be His by Yarmia Tariq (room on the broom read aloud .TXT) 📕

His secretary, Betty arrived in one hour bringing along all his important files. Anna led her the way to the living room where she could make herself comfortable. 
While she went to inform Umer about her arrival.

He was still in his bedroom, immersed in her thoughts when Anna knocked on the door.

"Come in" he replied.

And she stepped in to tell him that Betty was already waiting in the living room. 
He stood up and immediately went downstairs to see her.

As she saw him approaching, she stood up in respect. 
As he came near she realized his stressed face, dark circles and swollen eyes. He looked extremely tensed, tired and emotionally exhausted. Not to stare continuously in disrespect she averted her gaze immediately.

He settled on the couch beside her.

"Any updates about her?" He asked desperately.

"Sorry sir but we got checked all the motels and hotels again, no one has registered a name like this. Except VIP hotels because we couldn't access their data. We might need to use connections for them. In my perspective, she must have used a fake name to book a room or maybe stayed at someone's house. We even checked up on the regular taxi drivers at airport, and no one has booked a ride with a woman we described" she explained everything in one go.

"Then where did she disappeared Betty?" He tried to control his rage.

She remained silent at his question.

"She must be somewhere in Islamabad, I'm sure of it. She knows that if she went to karachi, to her family I will find her. She is not that naive so she is hiding far away from them. I want you to leave some men randomly, to find her. And keep a sharp eye on that bastard, Yahya. She might get in contact with him. Find her as soon as possible" he said giving instructions to her.

"Right sir I'll do it right away. But if you could explain what important things she took with herself will help alot sir" she asked cautiously.

"She only took some cash, her jewelry, laptop, phone and a pair of dresses. But her phone is powered off and I think she has discarded the sim cards. And I don't have access to her laptop." He replied.

"Then I think there's no way to even hack her phone or laptop. According to my information, she don't use social media anymore. She has hidden herself really well. But I'll keep an eye on Islamabad's airport in case she tries to escape somewhere else" she tried to made him sure.

But he knew it better, he might will have to go to Pakistan to search her himself.

Further she discussed the office ongoing affairs with him and he signed all the important documents which were needed.

He told her that he will work from home for few days so she'll have to come to home in morning to run both affairs.

With every passing second he was losing hope to find her and at the same time becoming more desperate to be with her.

The alarm made a loud noise and she woke up at 07:00 o' clock in the morning. She hurriedly got up, took a bath and dressed herself into the clothes she decided. Then she made a omelette hurriedly and ate it with raw, cold bread. With a cup of instant hot coffee, she felt herself energetic to start the new day. She wore her shoes and gown and then left the apartment, taking along some important documents including her passport to prove her identity to them, in case.

She took the first bus and in one hour she was standing in front of the store. She saw the time and it was 08:30, which meant she was on time. Because the store used to open at 09:00 for the customers.

She went inside and greeted the manger. After going through formalities of signing papers, he finally handed her the uniform which she needed to wear during her working hours.

The uniform was not appropriate from her perspective, but she had to bear with it.

She wore it immediately, placing her belongings in her locker. Then her colleague explained everything to her regarding her job. She listened carefully and when the customers started to arrive, she also tried to pay attention to her job.

Her shift use to end at 02:00 o' clock which meant half day.

She was glad that in her remaining half day she could do something else productive to fulfill her expenses.

After a long tiring day, she came home and decided to sleep first. She was too tired to even eat lunch.

In evening she got up and made herself dinner. She looked for suitable jobs and applied to them while she ate her food along.

It was so tiring to apply for hundreds of jobs and then barely get a reply from few of them.

She worked in that super store for a month until her bump started to appear and she had to quit the job before they fire him. 
In that while, she was now becoming more brave and confident with every passing day. All the while nothing unusual happened to scare her.

She even started to go to doctor regularly to get her regular checkup. The ultrasounds reports showed her little baby which started to grow prominent now. She was so happy with her life, her only worry was her job and expenses.

And one evening it got solved too.

Umer lost hope of finding her after a month. There was no sign of her. Each passing day seemed more long to him than usual. He gradually started to lose his interest in everything. His company was now being run by his employees and secretary. He only used to attend important meetings and just sign the documents. His company didn't made any progress since the past month and it was getting on his nerves. He couldn't pay attention to it because of her.

Everything was going against him all at once. He was losing his nerves when he finally made a decision to calm himself.

Betty handed him the phone which was from his father. He knew it what he would say and he didn't wanted to hear it but now it was a long time since they talked so he took it with annoyed face.
