Mafia's Dawn by Petillant Alba (red seas under red skies txt) 📕

FATIMA'S POV:

It was my third day here and it was a relief that I didn't have to face him after that last encounter.

I was busy with Amna helping her in the kitchen making dinner .

I was missing my family . I never lived without them . I didn't know how they were doing without me. 

We finished making curry rice for dinner and started preparing cupcakes on Amna's wish.

"Fatima . Fatima" I heard a familiar voice screaming my name .

It's my father's.

"I ran outside , to find him trying to get into the house but the guards weren't allowing him . 
I tried to reach him but the other guard caught me and didn't let me go out. I started wiggling in his arms .

"Baba!!" I screamed so he can  hear me.

" Fatima are you fine . Did they hurt you. I will save you from these monsters ,be brave ok." He screamed back from  across the  black metal rod gate. He became too weak in just three days,pale skin with dark black circles around his eyes.

"Really and how you will do this" I was about to answer back but stopped after hearing the voice, behind me.

I turned my head to look at him, coming towards us, in blue tuxedo one hand in the pocket of his pants and with the other hand typing something on the phone. He was indeed the most handsome man I had ever seen. He came towards us and stopped right beside, after looking at my father then at me he said ,
"Take her from me if you can" he said to him while looking at me with a smirk causing a slight dimple beside his left eye.

"That was an accidant , your sister came in front of my car I didn't hit her by purpose. You can take me if you want , she is innocent ." His tone was harsh at first but soften seeing me in the end.

"I am fine baba, you just go from here" I said still wriggling in that guard's arms.

He dragged me to him by grabbing me from my nape and made me stood in front of my father who was across the gate but due to the gap between the metal rods we could see each other clearly. That  stream was again started falling from my eyes.

"Like she is innocent,my sister was too ,but what did you do ,you hit her now she is in hospital fighting for her life, but I didn't do anything yet with your daughter ,let me do it" with that a hard slap hit my face. I wasn't expecting that, I saw him in disbelief, he was staring at me with guilt in his eyes but soon overcome it or may be I was hallucinating.

"I think now you realize, what it feels 
When your beloved one is in pain and about the fact taking you instead of her so it's her decision to choose herself over you. " He was talking to my father , my vision was blurry due to the tears immerging in my eyes.

He was about to go but halted in his steps and turned back  facing my father, remembering something .

"But if you want to suffer a little so I can fulfill your demand"

He dialed a number and called someone.
" Blast that man's store near victoria street who hit my sister with his car"he said with his  piercing grey eyes darted into my father's.

"NO" my father and me screamed in unison as that store was our only way of our survival, that's the only source of income.

"No, don't do this..." My father was pleading him but he ignored and moved towards his car and went away and the guard brought me inside the house despite mine and my father's screamings .

How can he be so cruel. Don't he have a heart. He kept me , now what he wants, why he did this .

I laid in my bed after coming in my room,and eventually drifted to sleep, knowing that the tears in my eyes were in my fate.

I was in deep slumber when I felt a hot sensation on my left cheek but again drifted to sleep because I have no energy to open my eyes .

                  ••••••••••••••••••••••••••
There were no improvement in Aima's condition .

I have to do something to help my parents they are alone and I don't even know how they are surviving without our store. That monster destroyed our store. It's almost one week here and I am not able to do anything for them. I should at least ask Sufyan to talk to him ,have some mercy on them .

I head to kitchen where Eliff and Amna were doing their daily chores. Amna came here by the evening ,after attending her classes , Eliff on the other hand lived here on the other side of  mansion . 
Amna was an abandoned  girl , her parents left her , Eliff found her in a park and brought her here giving her shelter.  About Eliff she was babysitter of that monster's father and after him, she took care of him and Aima then.

I saw Amna sitting on the slab with a pout on her face .

"What happened dear?" I sat with her on the slab.
" I have a test tomorrow and I haven't prepared for it. "
" But why didn't you prepare"
" O am uh ..I was busy watching new series." She smiled sheepishly, earning a glare from me.
" Come let me help you to prepare your test"
"Really you are the best ,fatima, I thought this world is so cruel , the end of humanity is near but you proved me wrong. I love you"she said exaggerating ,by removing her fake tears , drama queen.

We were exiting the kitchen  laughing ,but saw that monster sitting on the sofa in all his glory in the living room with Sufyan . I hadn't seen him after that incident. 
" Fatima will you please come here" Sufyan gestured me to sit on the couch .

He handed me some papers when I sat on the couch while he was on the single sofa and Sufyan was opposite to me.
"What is it?" I asked Sufyan eyeing the papers in my hand.

"A marriage contract"

WHAT!!!!!!.
