Together FOREVER: An AsYa FF - Page 5

CHAPTER6

Zoya opened her eyes, her vision was hazy and blurred, and probably from the overdose of sleeping pills she was being forced to take. She was pained, mentally, physically and emotionally.

She did not know how much time had passed, since the time she had been brought to this hell-hole. She had lost all hope that she would ever escape from the clutches of this monster. She did not have any idea what they were going to do with her. Surely they were not going to keep her under this roof for long, nor would they let her go. She pushed the other horrible thought from her mind.

Raghu was sleeping outside the door; it surprised her a bit since he was always on guard.

She got up and walked outside the door of the room, past raghu. She tried to open the lock of the door but it wouldn't budge. She then saw that raghu had worn a chain around his neck with the key hanging as a locket.

Shit.

Trying to get the key out of his neck would be like walking into a lion's den. She felt dejected; the only chance of escape was gone.

She was about to go back into the room when she saw something that gave her a ray of hope. Raghu's cell phone was lying beside him carelessly.

Zoya smiled smugly, probably after a very long time. A big mistake, she thought.

Holding her breath, she inched closely toward raghu. She bent down infinitesimally slowly and with trembling hands picked up Raghu's phone.

Victory. That dumbass was sleeping like a log.

She quickly retrieved and walked into the room. Moving to the corner that was farthest from the door, she punched in the only number that came to her mind.

After two rings, Asad picked up the phone.

"Hello?" he said inquiring.

Maybe it was the relief of hearing his voice, something that she had never anticipated after their previous conversation, or probably the pain in her heart, she cried.

"Zoya...Where are you? I know you have been kidnapped. Are you alright?"

"Speak up dammit!" Asad shouted through the phone. Her cries were killing him.

His emotions were shuffled. He went from relief, that he had heard from her, despair and impatience, to be with her, comfort her, anger and frustration for the person who had made her cry and love; love that burst through every vein in his body.

"Please don't cry Zoya. Are you listening to me? I'm here, alright? Zoya I'm with you."

After a pause Zoya spoke up.

"Save me Mr. Khan! They'll kill me… ", her voice screamed of desperation.

Her stifled sobs made Asad's blood boil with anger. Whoever had made her so miserable and anguished would die at his hands.

"I don't know where I'm …….they keep me drugged most of the time…"she continued in a muffled tone.

"I'll find you; I won't let them hurt you. Trust me."

"I do…"

Trust. Something that he had broken time and over, but this time he wouldn't break her trust. He loved her too much now.

"Zoya, listen to me, hold this line, I'll track you through GPS."

Zoya nodded. She was still holding onto the phone when she shrieked. She had been so lost in her thoughts that she had never realized raghu lurking cunningly.

"Zoya? ZOYA!!" Asad's anxious voice screamed.

"You will pay a huge price for this, you bloody bitch!"

Asad heard Zoya's scream and the phone was disconnected. His blood froze. What had happened to Zoya?

**

Zoya let out a bloodcurdling scream. Raghu pulled her ear from the receiver of the phone by her hair and pushed her towards a wall. The impact was immediate and excruciating.

She fell to the ground. The right side of her temple was burning hot and wet. She touched it and looked at her hands. Crimson stained.

Blood.

Her temple bleed profusely, so much so, that she feared she could die of blood loss almost immediately. She pressed her hand over it to stop the blood but it wasn't helping.

The world began to darken and Raghu's malicious face, full of mirth was her last sight before she lost her consciousness.
