You Belong To Me

We Met Again!

Author's POV
The same day. Everything is same. School is same. Same class. Same work. Same pressure. Except one thing. Now she have something to look forward to at school. A reason to make school a nice place for once. Today is the day that for once maybe they will have a normal conversation. For once, she doesn't have to think about how she would act like or how should she start the conversation. She had a reason to talk to him now or even wave at him in the hallways.

Safia's POV
I woke up at 6 today for the fajjar prayers and didn't went to sleep as I saw a notification on my phone of someone following me. My heart started to beat really fast just by reading  "@chase.andereson requested to follow you". I accepted his request and weirdly as soon as I did I received a text from him.

*TEXT*

"Hey. Good Morning I guess" - 6:18
"Hi. Yeah it is I mean I received a text from someone lol. It was morning before but now it's good" - 6:18
"Well.....I am flattered and I am glad that I made your morning" - 6:18
"You did lol. Sorry gotta go. I need to prepare for my test today" - 6:19
"Yeah no worries. See you at school" - 6:19
"See you there. Bye....for now" - 6:19
"Bye" - 6:20

I started studying for my test with a smile on my face. After sometime, I got up to get ready for school.
"Come downstairs! Breakfast is ready"
"What's for breakfast today?"
"Pancakes and you better finish your breakfast before you leave"
"Yes I will. Jazakallah"
My brother dropped me at school soon after we finished our breakfast. We always eat food together as a family. It's like a tradition. I went to first class which was quite boring as usual because I have no friends in that class but the period after that class is my favourite because it's kinda spare. First class ended and I started walking towards the library where I usually spend or more like waste my time. I was signing myself in library....
"Safiaaaaa" he called so excitedly
"Hi. How are you?" I asked nervously because I didn't know we got this close for him to call me like this
"I am good. What about you?"
"I am well. Thanks"
"Do you wanna study together? Like let me know if there is anything I can help you with right now"
"I don't think I have any questions right now but sure I will let you know when I do" I said nervously
He left.
I looked at Kayla who was standing behind me more like she was staring at me and I knew what kind of questions are revolving in her mind. "It's just he asked if I need any math help. I should just ask him right away and that he would help me" I answered her questions without even listening to them. We sat at our usual spot and Kayla started doing her work. I started scrolling through my Instagram when I noticed that someone send me a follow request. I stalked their account as usual before accepting their request. The account seemed really new like there was no post or either they were following anyone. I didn't accepted the request because it could be anyone like even a creepy old man. That's when I received a text from an unknown number.
*Text*
"Assalam o Alaikum"
"Walaikum Slaam"
"How are you dear?"
"I am good but thanks. May I know who you are? Like do I know you? Because I think you got the wrong number"
"No it's not wrong number at all. Sweetheart"
When I read the word "sweetheart" a memory clicked. Memory of that strange looking man from that day.
"Can you please stop texting me? I don't know you and  I am not interested in knowing you..please leave me alone"
It took 2 minutes to reply for him
"Don't you think it's unfair on my side. After 2 years of keeping my distance from you now you want me to leave you alone just like that"
"Who are you? What 2 years? I don't think I even know you"
"I know you don't know me but we will soon know each other pretty well. No need to worry about"
I was about to block him when I received another text from him
"Don't even try to block me. I can find you easily. No matter what you do or even if you change your number so don't even think of blocking this number or there would be consequences you are not ready to face"
- BLOCKED -
I don't care who he is. He is a creepy man who is trying to kidnap me most probably because what gibberish is he taking about 2 years and whatsoever. I don't care what consequences. Then it clicked me that even though my heart was telling me that he can't do anything but my mind was telling me that last time I saw him.......he looked like he hold much power than I can even imagine. The aura around him as so scary and yet delicate. He was strong enough to kill a person easily. But the way he talked to me was so soft that he actually cared for me. When I told him that I am scared.....they way he let go the next second without any second thought. Does he actually know me? Who is he? Why did it seemed like he cares for me? But why does he sound so scary at the same time? Why is he keep trying to contact me? The thought of him was killing me from inside as I wanted to know more about him. Like who or what does does he want? After 10 minutes fire alarm rang out of no where so everybody started walking outside the building. Me and Kayla started walking towards the side door where no one stands as we didn't wanted to be in a crowd. We were standing on the sidewalk I didn't noticed much about the car that just passed by. The car stopped a little further from us 'He' came out of the driving seat so I assumed he was alone. As soon as I saw him I got scared and his words of facing the consequences started going through my mind again. "Kayla run on 3" I said
"What?" she replied
"Just run. 1.....2......3"
We were about to run he held my hand and pushed me toward him from the back. As I was about to scream he covered my mouth of with his hands making me unable to utter a word. Kayla saw me and started running backwards but I told her to run with signs as I didn't wanted her to be kidnapped or get in dangerous situation because of me.
"I told you but yet you still had the nerve to block me" he whispered in my ear which gave me goosebumps. His cold and angry voice was giving me chills as I was trembling. Tears were flowing from my eyes as I was imagining the worst scenarios. "Now say that you're sorry and it will never happen again. Do what I am saying when I am being nice because I don't think you wanna get on my bad side". There was a 1 minute silence when he spoke again. "I am will take my hand away now and you better say you're sorry and this will never again because you see your friend right there" he pointed at Kayla who was in a distance but scared as well. "She won't see the sunshine tomorrow and I don't you want that. Sweetheart" I hated that word especially coming from his mouth. I was so scared for Kayla that something might happen to her. "I won't please let me go. I won't block your number ever again. Please let me go" I begged him when tears were flowing down my eyes. He forced turned me around himself so now I was facing him. He observed my reaction carefully and I kinda felt like he was regretting it "It's ok babe. It's just I got a little mad for you not listening to me but I am genuinely sorry. I apologize for my behaviour. I shouldn't have sacred. Man shit I scared you again. Why are you crying don't worry I won't do anything to you" while caressing my face. At that moment I don't know why but I felt safe and protected even though 2 seconds ago he was the man that I was scared for my life from and now suddenly by his few words I feel comforted. I noticed that how I was in my own thoughts and even stopped crying. He hugged me slowly and then tightly making me feel like he wanted to hug me for years. When I was suppose to feel scared and disgusted by that hug. For some reason I felt like I wanted to hug him back and I wanted him to embrace me. "I am sorry again. I would never do this again but can you not block my number and just disobey me like that. I am not use to this feeling and being ignored but I know it's hard for you as well so I will work in it but please don't ignore me" as he was hugging me more tightly.
