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

It was raining heavily making the sky look more dark than usual evenings. Her shift was over and she wanted to leave the hospital but her van got late. She called the driver multiple times but she faced a big problem of signals. 

Dr. Sannan was at his night shift so he couldn't drop her to home either. After trying again and again, she finally received a voice message from driver that he has got stuck in heavy traffic and might take two hours minimum to reach the hospital. 

She had no other option so she decided to go on her own. It was already getting late. Dr. Sannan tried to stop her as he did not considered it safe for her to go alone in heavy rain and even that in night. 

But she didn't stopped as there was no other choice left. She wanted to get home and make Yousef warm as he was feeling cold. She took the umbrella from  Dr. Sannan and started walking on the barren road which led out of the village. It was difficult for her to walk on the rocky pathway while carrying her child and holding a umbrella with the other hand, her bag dangling on her shoulder. 

As she felt difficult to breath under veil, she took it off. Her baby cheered watching her mother's face and she smiled to him. He was the greatest motivation for her to go through every hurdle. 

She took heavy steps and finally reached the bus stand. She looked here and there but didn't even found a cab or any other vehicle. It was lonely road on which not many people used to travel. 

It was so cold and her white coat from above didn't helped much. She regretted that she didn't brought her black coat, although it was old now but still it was warm. 

Yousef was not sleeping quietly in his baby blanket. After waiting for twenty minutes she finally decided to walk herself on the road, if she'll see any vehicle on her way then she'll stop it. 

The white smoke blew from her mouth as she gasped, breathing heavily while walking. Thank god she was wearing comfortable shoes, she thought. As she walked alone on the road, no passing car stopped to help her. And she didn't even see a cab or bus. She didn't knew how she'll reach but she kept walking. It was a long way. 

As she continuously walked for half an hour, she slowed down. Suddenly a man on bike passed her with full speed, splashing the water on her coat. 

But she couldn't react at all after she saw the gun in his hand. He passed her with a flick but scared her along. He was all dressed in black. 

And that was when she heard loud gunshots all of sudden. A man was running after him firing the gunshots in his direction but then he stopped as the biker flew away and disappeared from his sight. 

She froze in her place as she witnessed the scene. The man went back to the black car, which was also parked in some distance. The headlights were on and she could see everything clearly. 

She tried to walk pass them quickly. 

Umer and his both men were on their way from their late meeting when it started to rain heavily. And due to that they got stuck in traffic. To take a short cut, his driver changed the route. The road was desolate and quiet. None of them recognized the new track as they kept going. 

When they reached the middle of the road, his driver realized that a man on bike was continuously following them since they stepped inside the car. 

As he informed the men, the biker increased his speed and got beside their car while pointing his pistol towards the car. 

Umer was sitting at the window seat when he saw the pointed gun towards him. 

Before they could take out their own guns, he shooted first at Umer. Umer in time leaned down and the shot hit his driver's head. The car due to full speed lost the control and they hit the large tree at the side of the road. The biker didn't stopped and shooted endless shots at them. One shot hit his right hand man's chest and one hit Umer in his left arm. 

They man screamed in pain while his assistant took out his gun and fired at him. Umer was used to such attacks so despite being shot he didn't sit back and with one hand he fired at the biker. The man started his bike and tried to run away but a shot hit his leg. 

The man still managed to escape while his assistant followed him on foot. But he couldn't reach and the biker disappeared. 

Umer's right hand was in so much pain and he was barely keeping it up. His driver died instantly. Umer asked his assistant to call someone for help. His assistant got out again and searched desperately on the empty road for somebody. His eyes caught a woman who was trying to run, obviously scared by the gunshots. 

He wanted to ignore her but his eyes scanned her white coat which she wore, which meant she was a doctor. He immediately shouted to her to make her stop. But she didn't stopped. 

"Stop or I'll shoot you!" He warned her. 

She immediately stopped and didn't dare to turn around. 

He ran to her and made her face him. 

Due to dark, he didn't recognized her face. 

"We have some injured people and we need instant help or he will die. If you're a doctor, please help him" he said quickly, trying to remain polite. 

"Please just let me go, I have a baby and you people have guns" she pleaded and cried. 

"We won't hurt you I promise. Just save that man please or he will die. We got an accident and our driver is already dead. Just treat them until the ambulance arrives. We will let you go then" he tried to convince her again. 

"He don't have much time" he said again and she agreed to help. 

She followed him to the car. Umer was sitting in the back seat while trying to make his man awake. 

"Sir please get aside, she is a doctor she will treat him for now until the ambulance arrives" he said and caught Umer's attention towards him. 

Umer looked at the woman who was holding a baby in her hand but couldn't see her face as the umbrella covered most of it.
