Chapter 26

Its...

Its Alex. How could he do this? Why would he? We trusted him.

I always felt something was weird about him, even though I never really did trust him I still gave him that chance. I always knew I wasn't comfortable around him, so this was his plan all along?

Still I don't think I should blame him. With what I have heard it doesn't sound like he had a choice, he isn't responsible so I can't blame him.

Hani saw a weakness in him and she exploited it, not caring what it would do to the poor boy, I don't understand what she wants with me and my family.

Why did she have to take me? What did I ever do to her?

All those thoughts wonder in my head to the extent I forgot myself and that my eye was still wide open until a voice broke me off it.

"She's finally awake, Hello Hatina," Hani speaks.

"Why, just why? What do you want? Why can't you just let us be?" I tell her straight forward.

"I want what you took from me, what you stole from me. I'll never let you be until I take what's rightfully mine," She says.

"My family is mine not yours, you can't... "

"That where you're wrong Hatina, it was mine way before it was yours,"

"You don't have to do this Hani, you can go out there and find your own happiness not by poking into others," I tell her with annoyance. And with that that I feel a sharp pain on my cheeks.

Ya Allah she slaps me.

"Hani stop you're going too far she..." Alex says.

"Shut up and get out of here before I begin with you also," Hani says giving him a death glare.

"I'll just say one thing, don't cross the line or there's no going back, because she's not the cause of your problems. You are, you caused yourself pain and you want to do that to someone else. That's selfish, I didn't sign up for this." Alex says before giving me a pity look and then leaving.

"You. You made him talk to me so rudely, just because of you, Annur left me, because of you again, Alex is saying rude things to me, I'll make you pay," She says before locking the door and coming closer to me.

What does she want to do? Ya Allah I hope it not what I...

"Ahh" I wince in pain as she presses my chin with her hand.

"You think you're so beautiful that you can get anyone you want or go Scot free with anything you do?" Hani says.

"No... I do..n't think that. Hani please stop you're hurting me," I say.

I mean what I said, I don't think am beautiful at all. Hani is pretty but she's got it all wrong, only if she knew what I've faced with my family.

"Yes, that's want I want, I want to hurt you till you die, I hate you so much, I just want to see you suffer" She says as she slaps me.

She then takes a rope that was on the floor and twisted it around her writs before lashing them on my body as I scream in pain.

Ya Allah let her stop please.

"Ha..ni plea...se I beg you. stop." I say while she continues to lash it on me, this time she hits it on my tummy making me scream harder, as I remember how I got kidnapped.

I got out from the hospital with good news that I'm pregnant, I was going to give my family the news when all these happened.

Ya Allah please save my child, she hitting the innocent being that doesn't know anything and hasn't even be born yet, but she does not know if not, I don't think she'll be this heartless to hit me there.

I never wanted this for my child, I always wanted that when I realized I was with child that it would be a very wonderful day of life, even the best day, but now I've put my innocent being in trouble that he/she wasn't even involved in.

No matter what she does I only have one prayer even if I don't make it I'll will try my very best, give in my every strength to save this innocent Child.

"Now how do you feel, do you feel my pain now, how it hurt me when he went away from me," Hani says as she continues to hit me.

"Hani please I be..g you wit..h Allah's name please stop." I say tears dropping out of my eye like a rushing tap. Hani can never feel the pain am feeling right now. This is a very bad pain I don't wish for anyone.

Watching your innocent child suffer not to talk of suffering with him is very painful, and I don't wish that for anyone even Hani.

"I won't stop, I enjoy seeing you cry." she laughs. "I don't like you at all Hatina. I wish to remove you from existence, that's how much my hatred for you is."

"is that really...what you.. Want?" I say surrendering and with that she stops.

"Hm what I want? I want Annur." she drops the rope. "Very good you just gave me an idea," She says as she takes her phone and dials a number.

Ya Allah save me, Ya Rabb, feel my pain, if I indeed did anything to deserve this, then let it continue, but if you know my heart and conscience is pure and that of my child, relieve me of this, the pain is too much. I can't feel my hands are bruised even without seeing them and my body hurts making me groan in pain.

"Hello, my love," Hani says as she puts it on speaker so I can hear also. Who is she talking to? I think its Annur.

"I'm here with your wifey and she's really in pain," Hani says.

"Hani don't you touch her, I swear if you do.." Annur says before Hani cuts him off.

Alhamdulilah he's fine it's so good to hear his voice even if I can't see him. I miss him a lot. I don't know how many hours I've been here or days but it feels like years not seeing Annur.

I miss the way he drags me closer to him, care for me, take me on romantic dates, sleeping on his chest.

Ya Allah save me from this so I can get back to my beloved Husband and so I can tell him about his child I'm carrying, he needs to know.

Ya Allah please.

"What will you do, huh? you can't do anything. Now she my prisoner and I can do what I want to her. In fact I have just dealt with her," She laughs hysterically. "In fact I slapped her, beat her, hanged her on., oh I did so many things to her,"

"Hani please it’s enough. Hatina, Hatina are you okay?" I hear Annur. "Annur I'm here, I..." I suddenly feel a pain on my cheek.

She slaps me (again).

"Don't talk to him. Did I say you can? " she says.

"Hani!" Annur yells her name as I close my eyes with fear and pain in them. "what do you want? I'll give you whatever you want just let her be." Tears drips from my eye when I hear Annur pleading on my behalf.

The most painful thing is that I didn't get the chance to tell him how I feel about him. I really love him but I didn't tell him. Even after all those times he told me, argued with me that I never said it back, but still he never left me. He kept on telling me every day and night and whenever we're together he makes me feel like I'm the only thing that matters.

I guess what they say is true 'you never know what you have until its gone'. But in this case Annur is not gone, he won't go away from me, I won't let him I'll fight for him with every strength remaining with me.

"Hatina be strong, I'll come for you insha Allah I haven't forgotten you. I want you to know I love you and I always will." I hear Annur say which make my lips bring a smile on them. Yes I'll be strong for him, I'll be InshaAllah and I'll be strong for our child.

"Shut up you fool, if you don't want her to suffer anymore, you wouldn't piss me off with your stupid I love you this and that. Give me what I want and I'll let her go." Hani says giving me a wicked smirk on her face.

What does she want? Oh...God, what is she scheming? "What do you want? "Annur asks.

"I want you to marry me and divorce Hatina." Hani says. Ya Allah.
