Chapter 9: Flashback

Tarika:

Tarika woke up in the middle of the night with a massive headache and looked around. She remembered how Ajay had carried her over to the bed. She got up quietly and looked beside her. She saw Ajay beside her on a chair with his head on the side of the bed fast asleep.

She gets up slowly and pokes her head out the door. She looks around and sees that all the guards are fast asleep. She comes outside, her head spinning, and looks for a way out. She finds the main door of the place in the old fort and opens it. The door creaks loudly and she looks around again. Then she slowly slips out and notices the guard sitting in the entrance. The guard turns his head and sees Tarika standing in the doorway. He quickly gets up and blows his whistle to warn the other guards. Tarika runs towards the back or the fort.

Ajay wakes up hearing loud noises. He looks around and sees that Tarika is missing.

Ajay: OH CRAP! Where did see go?

He ran outside and asked his guard who was standing outside the door.

Ajay: Where did see go?

Guard: I… I don't know boss.

Ajay (Screaming): Why do you think I pay you for? To sit here doing nothing? Huh?

He got out his gun and shot him and then ran outside.

He went to the guard standing outside the main gate.

Ajay: Where did the girl go?

Guard: Boss she went that way. (He pointed towards the back of the fort.) The other guards are looking for her in other places just in case.

Ajay: Ok good.

He went off in the direction the guard pointed to. The gun was still in his hand.

He came around the back and got a glimpse of Tarika because it was dark and she was wearing black jeans and a black tank top.

Ajay (scary and seductive voice): Hey honey where you going?

Tarika spun around real quick and almost missed Ajay since he was also wearing all black. Her heart started beating fast and she saw Ajay walking towards her with the gun in his hand. He walked closer to her and when he was 1 cm away from her she walked backwards and he followed her until she bumped into the back wall of the fort. Ajay the lifted his hand with the gun in it and Tarika watched his hand. He put his hand right beside her head on the wall.

Tarika looked him in the eye with no fear showing although are heart was beating so fast.

Ajay (Confused): What are you looking at?

Tarika just nodded her head no. Then she pushed him with all her strength and he tripped back and fell. Tarika took this chance and started to climb the wall she was almost at the top when Ajay got up and grabbed her around the waist with one hand and pulled her down.

Tarika (Yelling): ouch! Let go!

Ajay (Seductive voice): Oh ho so someone wants to play games.

Tarika got scared at the tone of his voice and was worried he might do something so she quieted down.

Ajay: Now that's a good girl.

His hand was still around her waist. He had a tight grip on her and he dragged her back to the room they were in before. He threw her on the bed and looked at her. Tarika looked back showing no fear in her eyes. He walked close to her and looked in her eyes.

Ajay: Aren't you scared?

Tarika: No.

Then he grabbed her and dragged her to the chair and tied her up again and then left the room.

Tarika sat there and let the tears come out that she was stopping since the beginning of that day. She drifted off in the memories of her and Abhijeet.

Flashback:

Abhijeet and Tarika were sitting in the living room of Abhijeet's house just relaxing waiting for Daya, Muskaan, Tasha, and Vivek to come pick them up so they could go to the movies and then to dinner, but they still had a couple hours before they came.

Abhijeet was sitting reading a magazine and Tarika was watching TV. Every once in a while Abhijeet would sneak a peek at Tarika since she looked stunning all dressed up. Tarika noticed him and looked at him, he looked back down quickly and started looking at his magazine.

Tarika: Abhi?

Abhi: Hmm?

Tarika: What are you looking at?

She meant about herself but he showed her the magazine instead. On it was a hot girl and Tarika spazed at him.

Tarika: haw! YOU…

She got up to whack him but instead he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him and kissed her cheek. She instantly became quiet. He then kissed her neck and her arm failed from below her and she fell on him.

Abhi (smiling): hmm this is better than that picture.

Tarika's eyes widened but he couldn't see her face.

Tarika (mischievously): accha? (She moved her head back to look at his face.)

Abhijeet (smiling): Hmm…

He wrapped his hands around her tightly and then got up.

Tarika: ahh waa Abhijeet put me down.

Abhi: No thanks.

Tarika: ABHI…

He put her down and grabbed her waist. He leaned in to give her a kiss but she ran away from him. She ran to his room and shut the door put didn't lock it. She went on his bed and stood on it. Abhijeet came running in and saw her on the bed and she was looking hot.

He went over to the bed and grabbed her leg and pulled it. She fell on her stomach. Her feet were towards him. He crawled on top of her and kissed her neck. She shivered and turned around to face him.

They looked in each other's eyes and Abhijeet leaned in to give her another kiss but she put her hand on his lips and he groaned and pouted.

Tarika laughed at his childish behavior and he got off her and walked away.

Tarika got up from the bed and sat on the edge.

Tarika (Thinking): Let's see how long he can stay away from me. (She smirked.)

Then she got up and went back downstairs and started to read the magazine Abhijeet was reading. Abhijeet walked and looked at her calm and not trying to convince him. He pouted and sat on the couch with a thud. Tarika pretended not to notice and continued reading the magazine. Abhijeet got up and went behind the couch and peeped over her shoulder. He saw her looking at pictures of hot guys and got envious. Tarika noticed him over her shoulder and turned a bit. He walked away and Tarika smiled. All of a sudden the car honked.

Tarika (teasing tone): Abhi shall we go? They are here.

Abhi: haan whatever.

They went to the door and Abhijeet grabbed Tarika's hand and turned her to face him. She looked in his eyes and saw pure love and affection. Then she felt bad for what see had done and was about to kiss him on the lips… then the doorbell rang.

Abhi (Yelling): AWWW MAN!

Tarika smiled and opened the door and walked past Daya who was standing at the door with a confused expression.

Abhijeet glared at Daya.

Daya: What happened yaar why were you yelling?

Abhi (frustrated): Couldn't you wait a bit?

Daya catching on: oh ho sorry yaar.

He laughed and ran out of the house.

Abhi (angry): Arrey Daya ka bachhe!

He ran after him and grabbed him and punched him.

Daya laughing: ok ok sorry yaar don't kill me.

Abhijeet grinned and went back to lock the door and then came back and sat beside Tarika in the car.

Abhi (whispering so only Tarika can hear.): Wait till we get back. I'm getting your kiss today.

She smiled sweetly.

Tarika (joking): I can't wait.

End of Flashback.

Tarika smiled in her sleep and she felt safe with those memories.
