Chapter 17

I was playing with a little boy. The same boy the I had a flashback about. We were playing chase I guess. He was chasing me when he suddenly fell on the floor passed out. I ran back to him and started shaking him, hoping he would wake up.

Me: 3bdallah !! 3bdallah goom yala!!

He wasn't answering me. Tears were running down my eyes like a waterfall. I got up and ran to my mother's side.

Me: MAMA !! MOMMY !! WAAAAAH !!

Shmoo5: Shfeek 7beebtii?! Leeh t9e7een?!

Me: Ma-*hic* ma *sniff* 3bd- *hic* allah 6aa7 !! *hic*

Shmoo5: ESH?! Wen 6aa7?! wdeni lh bsr3a !!

A strange woman with golden eyes: Latifa! Golii esh feeh 3bdallah o wenh?!

Shmoo5: Latifa wdeena lh al-7een!

My mother held my hand and I started taking her there quickly. A few women walked behind her wanting to check if anything happened to the little boy. The woman with  golden eyes ran to him and hugged him to her body. My mother let go of my hand and ran to the woman and little boy and started trying to see whether the little boy was alive or not. After that, a lot of women gathered around them and I couldn't see what happened.

I opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was the ceiling of the room I slept in. There were tears in my eyes.

Was I shocked?

Was that a dream? Or a flashback?

Who was this little boy?

I wonder if he's okay?

I turned my head to look at the clock. It read 5:30 AM. 2 hours max and everyone will wake up. I got out of my bed and did my daily routine. I went to the kitchen to make some breakfast. I poured some cereal and hot milk on a bowl and started eating on the table. After I finished I put my bowl and spoon in the sink and started cleaning the. When I finished, I looked at the clock and it read 6:15 PM. I went to the living room and surfed the magazine to look for a few design companies for Joe.

....: Good morning.

I turned and saw Joe. 

Joe's POV: 

Latifa: Good morning Joe.

I smiled at her. I don't understand why Sir. Adam would kidnap Miss Latifa. I don't think he kidnapped her out of grudge or revenge. That way he would torture her or something similar. Not spoil her and let her live in luxury.  I wonder what his reasons are. 

Latifa: JOE!! 

I looked at her surprised. 

Joe: What's wrong?!

Latifa: I was talking and you didn't answer. 

Joe: Sorry. What is it you were saying?

Latifa: I said, I found a few design companies on a few magazines here. Would you like to read about them and check them out?

Joe: Sure. 

I looked through them and they were well-known companies. And also they welcome beginners. I looked at Latifa and she was looking at me smiling. 

Latifa: So, what do you think of them?

Really, she was too nice. We're her kidnappers and she gives us her cheerful smiles.

Latifa's POV: 

Joe: They're wonderful. Thank you<3!

And Joe smiled to me a big, wide and wholehearted  smile. 

Latifa: You're very much welcomed.

Sha4a's POV: 

Today, I get out of the hospital. I was on the wheelchair being pushed by the nurse. I was getting up to get in the car. An ambulance was behind us getting a female patient out. I could only see bits of her face and hair. She looked a lot like Latifa. Oh no.. She couldn't be her. I left the chair and could hear the nurse calling me. I started following them as tears were forming in my eyes. It was hard and I couldn't run. I fell on the floor in front of the entrance. The nurse came and started talking but I couldn't understand much. My mind was focused on the girl in the hospital bed. 

Sha4a: Take me to the patient that just got in!

Nurse: Okay okay!

As she helped me get in the wheelchair and got inside my mother was coming out. 

Njoud: Sha4a 7bb nseetii shii?

Sha4a: Mama mo al-7een! 

I  held the wheels of the wheelchair and started pushing them to the ER. The nurse and my mother were behind me trying to catch up with me. I passed by a room and saw the girl laying on the bed. A doctor came out and I held to his arm. He looked at me surprised by this gesture. 

Sha4a: Doctor! Is she okay?! 

Doctor: Yes she is. Do you happen to know her?

Sha4a: Yes! She's my best friend! Can I please see her?!

Doctor: I don't thin-

Sha4a: PLEASE DOCTOR!! I beg you .. please.

And I started crying really hard. The nurse and my mother finally caught up and saw me crying, and came running faster. 

Njoud: Sha4a shfeek?! Fe shii y3wrk?!

Doctor:.... 

Sha4a: Please!

Doctor: Okay .. but only a glimpse and you have to get out quickly.

Sha4a: Okay. Thank you so much Doctor!

Doctor: You're welcome. 

Sha4a: Mama estnii hina shwii dgeeg o bjii!

The doctor held the handle of my wheel chair and pushed me inside the room. When I saw her.. I just got so disappointed. She wasn't Latifa... 

I turned to the Doctor and told him I was finished. He took me out the room and I thanked him one more time. My mother saw me and she hugged me. I felt better. After that we got out of the hospital to go back home. My mother asked a few times what happened but I didn't answer. It would've hurt much more if I said it out loud.

 I told 3omar what happened after nagging for a while to tell him what's wrong. I'm really hopeful to have him by my side.

I'm sorry but chapter 18 won't be posted until I get 3 comments at least on this chapter. Thank you.

Chapter 16

3bdAl3zeez's POV:

It's been a week since Latifa was kidnapped. The kidnapper didn't call after that one phone call. What is his motive? Money? A grudge? I can't remember hurting anyone. I have a headache from thinking so much. Shmoo5's also tired from crying. She hasn't been eating much either. I got up from my desk and went to the bedroom. I saw Shmoo5 laying on the bed with her eyes looking at the ceiling. I approached her and held her hand. She looked at me and gave a weak smile. I smiled back.

3bdal3zeez: Yalla gomii be76oon el-'3da al-7een

Shmoo5: Mo msht'hya ..

3bdal3zeez: E4a shftii el-akl btsht'heen o btakleen

Shmoo5: 6yb

Shmoo5's POV:

I didn't have the energy to fight back so I just agreed. We went down the stairs holding hands. I just love my husband. He's trying to make me smile while I cry on my bed like a little girl. I'll be strong. I won't cry like always. I'll try to smile. With that thought in mind I sat on the table beside my husband. Haifa and Sammar were sitting in front of me and beside each other.

Haifa: Baba abi aroo7 Dubai =( 6fsh hina =(

Samar: Eeh mn jd 5nroo7 Dubai =( Wla America a7sn

3bdal3zeez: Bil-9eef enshalla asfrkm. Hal-ejaza 4ii ma agdr abdn.

Haifa and Samar: Leeh? =(

3bdal3zeez: 3ndii sh'3l muhm. O '3eer k4a Latifa mahii m3km 3shan tro7oon l-7alkm.

Haifa and Samar continued their lunch with a frown on their faces.

Latifa's POV:

We arrived at a really huge mall.

Adam: Choose a shop

Latifa: Ummm, I really don't need any clothes.

Adam: You can't live on 3 pullovers and 2 leggings, you know

Latifa: But I-..

Adam: No buts just start shopping.

Latifa: Thank you.

I'm not the kind that likes to shop. I started walking with Adam beside me and Joe toddling behind me. I looked through the shops and nothing caught my eyes. I pouted and started looking harder. I don't have any particular style.

Adam: How about I choose a few clothes? as starters

He said while smirking. I kinda felt embarrassed. We went into a big shop.

Adam: What's your size?

Latifa: Depends on the clothing really =c.

Adam: You'll have to walk with me then.

Latifa: Sure

I started walking behind Adam. He took A LOT of clothes with him. Both his hands were full. He gave the clothes to Joe and pushed me into the dressing room and gave me an outfit. I tried out the first outfit.:

Adam: Hmmm, what do you think Joe?

Joe: I don't know. Something brighter perhaps?

Adam: I agree with you. This outfit is a no no.

Latifa: -________-

I went inside again and changed into this:



I opened the curtain and walked out a little shyly. Adam and Joe looked at me.

Adam: This looks really good. Joe?

Joe: I agree. It looks nice.

Adam: We'll take it.

I walked in again and wore this:


I opened the curtain and got out.

Joe: This one is nice. I like it.

Adam: Yeah. It's casual.

We continued shopping. I felt pampered by them. As we were walking, my stomach grumbled.

Adam: I think we should go have some lunch

Me and Joe both nodded. We went to the dinning section.

Adam: Latifa, what do you want to eat from?

Latifa: Umm, it's ok anything is good.

Adam: Joe?

Joe: MacDonalds?

Adam: Ok so what do you want?

Joe: Mac chicken middle sized.

Latifa: Happy meal chicken nuggets

Adam: What are you? a kid? -.-

Latifa: Hey, it tastes better =(

Adam: lol ok =))

Adam went to order while Joe and me started looking for a table to sit on. Today I really felt like chatting. I started asking about various things.

Latifa: So, what did you want to study in college?

Joe: Guess =)) you'd be surprised.

Latifa: A cop?

Joe: No, a fashion designer.

Latifa: Really? ="O

Joe: Yeah.

Latifa: I bet you would've been a great one.

Joe: Thank you.

Latifa: If you don't mind me asking..

Joe: Sure.

Latifa: Why did you stop?

Joe:..

Adam came.

Adam: What were you talking about?

Joe: How I used to be a fashion designer =)) she was pretty shocked.

Latifa: Yeah lol. Why don't you get a course and start now?

Adam: I always told him to. He would always refuse =\

Joe: I don't have time an-..

Latifa: You can make time. If it's still your dream you can accomplish it.

Adam: I totally agree with you. And I know that at your free time you still sketch a few outfits and they're really nice.

Joe: How did you know?!

Adam: I just did now.

Latifa: I want to see them.

Joe: Sure, when we get home I will show you a few.

Latifa: And if they're good really go and be a fashion designer.

Joe: We'll see.

We continued eating our lunch and then went back home because Adam had some work to do. Joe showed me a few of his sketches. They were really good and nice. I started persuading him to get a course on it or go to a few companies until he agreed to at least think and talk with Adam about it. 

They day went by with me and Joe watching TV and doing a few chores. It was 11 PM already and I got a little tired. I wished Joe a good night and went to my room to get some sleep.

Chapter 15

Adam's POV:

So her best friend Sha4a had an accident. And only broke her right leg. I don't know if I should tell her. I should call the family doctor. I picked up the phone and dialed Dr. J3far's number.

Dr. J3fr: Hello?

Adam: Hello Dr J3fr

Dr. J3fr: Hello Sir. Adam. Did something happen to the Miss?

Adam: No. I called wondering if I could use this method to return Latifa's ability to talk

Dr. J3fr: What is it?

Adam: If I could give her a shock with the same strength as the one that made her lose her voice, would she be able to talk again?

Dr. J3fr: Well, there's a 50% possibility that it will. Considering these circumstances it can be cured using lots of ways. Or sometimes it can't be cured.

Adam: I see. Thank you Dr. J3fr

Dr. J3fr: You're welcome

I closed the phone. I could tell her that Sha4a had an accident. That would be a good shock. I went to the living room looking for Latifa. I saw her laying on the sofa. She didn't notice me until I called her name.

Adam: Latifa

Latifa looked up at me and sat down. I sat on the sofa. There was a little space between us.

Adam: Your friend, Sha4a ... had an accident yesterday

Latifa: WHAT?!

Latifa stood up quickly looking worried.

Adam: A car crashed into their ca-..

Latifa: Did something happen to her?!

Adam: She only broke her right leg.

Latifa: *Phew* el-7mdlilah

Adam: You got your voice back

Latifa: Huh? =|

Adam: You can talk again. Hahaha you didn't even realize it

Latifa: OMG I really did

Latifa's POV:

I got my voice back. I can't believe it. I'm so happy I can finally talk again. I'm also relieved that nothing serious happened to Sha4a. 

3omar's POV:

I was on my way to the hospital. I passed by a flower shop and got a small bouquet of yellow, white and pink flowers. I addressed it to her room from a "3noud". I continued my way to the hospital.  I parked at the parking lot and BBMed Sha4a telling her I was downstairs. She was telling me to go back but I insisted.

I was thinking of a way to get to her room without anyone noticing. I had one but it wasn't a very good one. I got out of the car and started walking inside the hospital. I went to the elevator and pressed the 3rd floor. I went to her room and took a big breath. I opened the door and got in quickly with a worried face.

3omar: SHAHEEN !!

Sha4a's POV:

.....: SHAHEEN !!

,I looked up surprised by the scream that came from in front of me. OMG 3omar was in front of me. I turned to see my mother's reaction. She seemed surprised. I turned to 3omar and I saw his head down and embarrassed. 

3omar: Uuuh .. asf 3balii '3rft 9deegii 

He said in a low voice. 

Njoud: 79l 5eer

3omar: Asf mrra thanya

3omar then turned and left the room. My face was flushed red. My mom turned to me and started laughing.

Njoud: Hahahahahahahaha, wjhh kan y'97k =)) 

Me: Ahahahahahahahaha mn jd =)) 

I BBMed 3omar.

Me: 
THAT was your way of seeing me?

3omar's POV: 

Sha4a BBMed me.

Sha4a: 
THAT was your way of seeing me?

3omar: 
I didn't have any other way =( 
Plus I could hear your mothers laugh hahahaha =))

Sha4a: 
Hahahaha gamt tgool wjhk kan y'97k =)) 

3omar: 
Hahahahahaha =)) 

Sha4a:
3omar

3omar: 
Smii?

Sha4a: 
Sm allah 3dwk

3omar:

5la9 ra7 el-n9 bagi el-n9 
t7mlii esboo3 bs

Sha4a: 
Ehmm 6yb

3omar: 
Cheer up

Sha4a:
Ok 

Latifa, where are you? Can you really stay all that time without talking to me?

Latifa's POV: 

I was sitting in the living room watching TV. Adam came in. 

Adam: Get dressed. We're going out. 

Latifa: Where? =|

Adam: Shopping. 

And he went out the room to get ready. I raised my eyebrow from the weirdness of this. Is it really normal for a kidnapper to take his hostage out shopping?

I changed to a black leggings and a and a red pullover. I got out of the room and saw Adam and Joe sitting in the living room. Adam looked up at me. 

Adam: You're going with just that?

Latifa: Yeah =|

Adam: Wait a minute. 

He went to his room and got me a beej colored scarf. He handed it to me. 

Adam: Wear this. 

Latifa: .. Thank you

I took the scarf and tied it around me neck. We got out of the flatt and into the car. Joe was driving while me and Adam were sitting in the back seat. I took this time to sort out my thoughts. I am kidnapped yet, they treat me nice. And the thing that happened that made me lose my voice. I tried remembering it. My head hurts but I pressured myself more.

FlashBack

A 8-9 year old boy with shiny black hair that went to the end of his neck, was clutching his chest and had tears in his eyes. 

He was saying something. I can see his lips moving but I'm not understanding what he's saying 

Flashback end

I clutched my head. That was all I could take. The pain in my head started to go away. I looked through the window as we passed the shops and parks. 

Who was that boy?....

Chapter 14

A crash was heard from the other room. I woke up, surprised. What was that sound. I got up quickly and went to the bathroom. Washed my face and brushed my teeth. I got out of the room quickly to where the sound was. I saw Adam on the floor clutching his chest, with Joe trying to make him eat a pill. I was standing there shocked. Joe looked at me and glared.

Joe: Go to your room and don't get out!!

He screamed at me.

Me: ....

I couldn't understand what he said. It was as if my mind froze. I was standing there just staring at him. Then at that moment, something in my mind snapped. My head started hurting. I clutched it with one of my hands while the other one was holding me up using the wall.

Me: Ugggghhhhh !!

Joe looked at me. A minute ago nothing was wrong with me. He didn't know what to do. Either leave Adam and come to my care. Or leave me and help Adam.  By now, I was laying on the floor and clutching my head and screaming. Gradually, my screams got louder and louder. Adam opened his eyes a little and turned his head. He was bothered by my screams.

Adam: ..J.. oe..

Joe: Adam! Are you alright?

Adam: Chest.. hur ..ts .. can.. 't .. bre..ath

Joe didn't know what do do. Either leave me and help Adam. Or come to my aid. He was looking forth and back between me and Adam. In the end he picked Adam up and took him quickly to the room. He ran out of the room to the kitchen. And back to the room with a pill and a cup of water. He gave it to Adam and he felt a little relieved. After that, Joe came running to me. By the time he was there. I have stopped screaming. I was laying sideways. With 2 streaks of tears from my eyes to the ground. My breaths were deep and slow. My face pale and blank. Joe looked at me with pity. He picked me up slowly and started going to my room. He lied me on the bed. And took a strand of hair out of my face and tucked it behind my ear. His eyes had so much sadness in them. He got up and went to the door. He turned back to me and said in a warm ans caring voice.

Joe: If you need anything just call me. I'll leave the door open.

I didn't react to what he said. It was as if I couldn't hear him. As if I was in another world. A world that was so far, far away. I don't know how much I stayed that way. Until I drifted into a deep long slumber.

My eyes fluttered open feeling a hand smoothly stroking my cheek. My eyesight was blurry, but I recognized the golden eyes that were looking at me.

Adam: .. are you okay?

He said. A tiny hint of concern was evidence in his voice. I couldn't answer. My throat feels dry and weird. So I replied with a nod. Adam smiled a smile of relief.

Adam: Great. Get up and I'll let Joe cook you some breakfast.

Me: .....

I opened my mouth trying to speak. But I couldn't. Adam looked at me weirdly.

Adam: Could it be.. you can't talk?

I nodded viciously.

Adam: Ok listen, first get up and get washed and stuff then come and eat some breakfast. I'll call a doctor for you.

I nodded and Adam got out of the room. I held my necklace, the one Sha4a gave me. I felt a little safer . I got up and went to the bathroom and took a shower, brushed my teeth and blow dried my hair. I wore some clothes and went downstairs. Joe was getting the table ready. He looked up at me and smiled.

Joe: Good morning

I opened my mouth to answer, but couldn't. So I settled with a nod and smile on his direction. I sat on the table and looked at the table to see what I wanted.

Joe: What do you want to eat?

I pointed at the box of corn flakes. He passed it to me with the milk. I poured some cereal in my bowl, then poured the milk. I took my spoon and started eating. Joe and Adam started eating as well. It was weird thinking this, but we look like a family. I actually thought it wouldn't be bad to live like this.

3bdAl3zeez's POV:

Shmoo5: 3zeez ! 5la9 ana ma agdr at7ml abii bntiii !!!

She said as she cried at my shoulder. I hugged her tight and stroked her hair.

Me: 7beebtii ha4anii jals a7awl enshalla bjeebha b-agrb wgt.

Shmoo5: Abeeha tjenii al-7een !! Ma 3ad agdr 5la9 !! 3zeez ha4ii bntii !! 7shaasht jofii ! g63a mnii !

I got a little irritated. It was as if she was saying that I don't care that much.

Me: Shmoo5 ! Tra zy ma Latifa bntk trahii bntii ! O ana abeeha tji al-yom gbl bukra !

I said that and let go of her. I went to the bathroom and took a long cold shower.

Shmoo5's POV:

I just said something I shouldn't. I hurt 3zeez's feelings. I lowered my head on the pillow and started cying all over again. Latifa, my daughter, when will you come back?

Sha4a's POV:

I miss Latifa. It's been 4 days already and I didn't hear a word from her. Right now I'm on my way to her house. I need to talk with Uncle 3bdal3zeez or Aunt Shmoo5. The driver was going ahead when a car on my right was speeding really fast. It hit our car really strong.

Sha4a and her driver (Noor): AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!

Latifa's POV:

I was sitting on the sofa alone watching TV. When suddenly my necklace broke and fell to the ground. My heart skipped a beat. Even though I don't believe in those stuff that when someone gives you something and it breaks that means they're in danger. But at that moment I thought maybe did. I ran to Adam. He looked up and I started doing signs with my hand trying to make him understand. He came up to me and held my shoulders.

Adam: Does anything hurt you?

I mouthed a "No".

Adam: Wait wait

He went to his desk and took out a notebook and a pencil. He came back and gave them to me. 

Adam: Write what you want to say.

I started scribbling really quickly. Adam started reading.

Adam: Please, check on my family and friends. I feel like something happened. 
 
He looked up at me. Feeling a bit relieved that nothing was wrong with me. 

Adam: I'll make my calls. Don't worry and rest, ok?

I nodded slowly. Adam went and sat on his desk. He took out his phone and started calling. I waited until he finished his call. He looked at me and smiled. 

Adam: Don't worry. In an hour someone will call and inform me. 

I nodded and mouthed a thank you. I got out of the Adam's room to the living room. 

Sha4a's POV: 

I woke up in a hospital bed. My head hurts so much. I looked at my right and mo myther was reading Quran in a low voice. 

Me: ..Mama

I said in a low whisper. My mother looked up quickly and put her hand on mine. 

Njoud(My Mother):  3yoon Mama? keefk 7beebtii? fe shii y3wrk?

Me: No, bs rjlii shwii. Esh 9ar?

Njoud: 9arlkm 7adth. O enti enksrt rjlk

Chapter 13

I stomped my foot as I went out. Seriously what the hell was that?! Why do we need to go to America?!

I was going up the stairs. I took left to go to my room. I stopped mid-track, and half-turned. I saw the room that was locked with chains. I'm going to take a look. First, I went to the room. I searched for anything sharp. I found a clip, so I took it and went out the room. I got to the room and took the clip, I got it inside the lock, and tried turning it left and right. With no use of it opening. I got back to my room, defeated. I started packing. It's no use going without clothes. I'm being forced anyways.
I finished packing. I lied on the bed. And went into a blissful sleep. 


...: .. fa!! tifa!! LATIFA!!!
Me: Huh?! What?! Who died?! 

I got up from my bed, terrified. 

Adam: About time you woke up!

My hair was in a mess. My shirt was a mess. My face was a mess. I was in a mess. Adam gave me his back. 

Adam: Get ready we will be going in 3 hours.
 Me: Go where?

I fogot.

Adam: To America.
Me: Oh! Ok .. 

I got up, took a shower, prayed and wore my clothes. I dried my hair and wore a leggings and a pullover. 2 hours later I was ready. So I went downstairs started looking for anyone. Joe came out of the kitchen with french fries in his hand. He looked funny. I called for him.

Me: Joe  

Joe turned around and looked at me. 

Me: Where's Adam?

Joe just raised his shoulder in a "I don't know" matter. 

Me: Oh ok, thanks. 

Joe just nodded and continued his way. I started wondering where Adam went. I walked up the stairs and went to my room. I found Adam sitting on the sofa. Dozing off. I sat on the chair in front of him. I looked at his face, starting with his eyes. Even though they're closed I could still remember them when they were open. His eyes really are beautiful. My eyes went down to his nose. His nose was slender and long. Next, was his lips. He had a between small and middle sized pink lips. He was a little tanned colour. His hair was black, with really dark grey highlights. He really is beautiful, no matter what he's doing. 

Adam slowly opened his eyes. He looked at me, his eyes were blank. My mind was somewhere else. It was as if I was on a plane going with the wind. We were staring at each other with eyes that had secrets. He then got up and passed through me to the door. Not a word was said. I felt hurt. I wonder why though. 

A knock on the door was heard. 

Me: Who is it?

Joe: Joe

Me: Come in

Joe: Is your bag ready?

Me: Yes

Joe took my bag and turned to me. 

Joe: It's time to go

Me: Ok

I wore my 3abaya and went downstairs. The entrance door was open and Joe was outside putting the bags in the car. Adam was standing next to the car fiddling with his phone. I walked up to him and greeted him. He nodded and continued fiddling with his phone. Joe opened the door and gestured me to go in. I did and Adam came beside me. Joe sat in the front next to the driver. We didn't get out of the palace. We just went to the garden in the back. The car stopped and I looked at Adam questionably. 

Adam: My back garden is my airport 

He said with a smirk. I just looked at him seriously. A little not believing what he said. 

Joe opened the door. And I got out. I saw the plane come out of the garage. When it stopped Adam carried a bag and Joe carried two bags. They put then in the trunk of the plane(that if it a plane had a trunk). After that we boarded the plane and sat on our seats. It was a really small plane with only 12 seats. Me and Adam sat beside each other. Joe went into the front.

Me: Why is Joe sitting in the front? isn't it only for the pilots?

Adam: Joe studied piloting. And he's the pilot assistant. 

Me: Oh ok. 

This Joe was full of wonders. He was like WonderMan.          

After a few hours. We arrived at Chicago. We arrived at the normal airport for private planes. We got in the car that was waiting for us and Joe drove us to his flat. (By the way a flat is like an apartment but has 2 stores I think) When we got there Adam showed me to my room and told me to rest up and feel like home. Is it normal for kidnapped people to feel at home with their kidnappers? Of course not. Anyway I nodded and wished him a goodnight. I took off my pullover and leggings, and just slept shirt. Before I slept I wondered. Why does it feel safe and dangerous at the same time when I'm with Adam? I slept with that thought in my mind.

Chapter 12

Adam: .... And if I don't want to?

I turned and looked at him. My expression was terrified, tears were in my eyes, threatening to slide down my cheek. His eyes widened ever so slightly. His hand let go of my hand, and the other went to my shoulder. He squeezed then took my bag. He went and put in the dressing room. He came back, I was still frozen in my place, looking at the black floor. He came beside me and was on his knees. He moved a strand of my hair out of my face, as he did so his hand touched my red cheek. I flinched, I took a step back and turned, giving him my back. I could hear him get up and feel his eyes on my back. 

Me: .. Where's the bathroom?

I said, with a crack evidence in my voice. 

Adam: Inside the dressing room

He said in a low voice. 

Me: Thank you.

I went to the dressing room, and into the bathroom. I stood in front of the mirror looking at myself. My eyes were kinda red, my cheeks had lines of tears, my eyelashes were wet. 

Why was I scared?

Why did I cry?

I don't cry for something like what just happened. I miss Baba, Mama, Hayfa, Samar and Adam too. Ugh! I just want to go home.

I washed my face and got out of the bathroom. When I got out There was no one in the room. I went back to the dressing room and wore a boxer with a T-shirt. I lied on my bed and covered myself with the blanket. I started thinking, does everyone who get kidnapped get treated this way? 
I wasn't harmed or anything. And they even gave a room, clothes and food. I kept on thinking until my eyelids closed and I went into a blissful sleep. 

Sha4a's POV:

Finally, it was winter break. After I came back from school I slept. I woke up at around 11 PM. I BBMed Latifa but she didn't answer. I am worried sick about her. She's not the kind that would sleep for a long time, or be away from her phone either. I was talking with 3omar BBM. 

Me: I'm worried =c
3omar: About what?
Me: Latifa, a5r mra shft'ha fe el-mdrsa o mn b3dha malha 7s abdnn 
3omar: Ymkn nayma? or she's busy?
Me: She still checks her phone though =c
3omar: La twswseen hdii enshalla mafii ella el-5eer  
 Me: Enshalla 

I continued chatting with 3omar. But my mind was busy thinking of Latifa. I'm really worried and I've got a bad feeling.

I called her house, her sister Hayfa answered me.

Me: Ahln
Hayfa: Hla 
Me: Wen Latifa?
Hayfa: Ma tdreen? =|
Me: Ma adrii wsho?
Hayfa: Latifa jt'ha dwra fe America, o ra7t hnak. 
Me: Amma =| 
Hayfa: Wallah 
Me: 6yb mta ra7t o leeh ma trd 3la el-jawal? o mta btrj3?
Hayfa: Ra7t 3la 6ool b3d ma rj3t mn el-mdrsa, ma adrii ymkn mo fa'9ytlh, o 3la mta btrj3 ma adrii ma 7ddt mta btrj3. 
Me: Uha, 6yb y36eek el-3afya, bye
Hayfa: Bye

It's weird that I didn't know about this. She'd always console me about everything and anything. This is just too weird. 

3omar's POV:

For Latifa to make Sha4a worry like. That just had bad timing. I was going to confess my feeling to Sha4a today. At first it began as an interest. Then it evolved into a crush, then love. I just hope this goes well. My phone rang with Taio Cruz - Crank It Up. 

Me: Ya hla walla 
....: Hla feek, sh5bark?
Me: Tmam walla, o ent?
....: El-7mdlilah. esm3 abii aklmk b-shii.
Me: Amr 
....: Ana brslk mlf o abeek t7f'6h 3ndk o ma tft7h abdn leen ma allah ya54 amant'h
3omar: N3m?! 3bdallah ya5oii sh9ayr?! 6ay7 b-mushkla? 
3bdallah: La la mo 6ay7 b-shii! bs y3nii k4a e7tya6 ! 
3omar: .. Walla enni shaak 
3bdallah: La yaboi mafii shi bs hd ent
3omar: Enshalla ella 3la 6arii mta nawii trj3? el-mama mshtaga =)) 
3bdalllah: Ya 7yatii <3!! Enshalla b7awl!
3omar:Enshalla
3bdallah:Ella oboy wenh?
3omar: Bil-sh'3l 
3bdallah: Allah y7f'6h <3
3omar: Ameen <3
3bdallah: Yalla ashoofk 3la 5eer 

That was weird. Why would he have something important, and doesn't want it to be opened until he dies. I'm worried about him. 

3bdul3zeez's POV:

The house feels empty without Latifa, less lively to be exact. I hope she's safe wherever she is. I hired a few people to investigate her kidnapping. I hope they find her real soon. 

Latifa's POV: 

I woke up sometime in the morning, I think maybe 10 AM or something close. I got up and did my daily routine. I then went to the dressing room and changed my clothes. I then went to my school bag and took my sketchbook, pencil and an eraser. I started scribbling. I had too much emotions and feelings bottled up. I drew about 5 drawings. The door knocked.

Me: Meen?
....: It's me Adam
Me: Oh! Come in

I suddenly felt self conscious. Adam came in and left the door open. 

Adam: Good morning 
Me: Good morning
Adam: Breakfast is ready, come with me
Me: Umm ok 

He got out of the room and I followed him. I was looking at the hall. It was so long. and the design, decoration and also the furniture was high class. I was looking at awe. We got to the stairs. I looked at the side and in the far away, I could see a door. Closed with many chains and locks. What could be so important in that room that you would lock it that way?

Adam: Are you just going to stand there?

I turned at him and opened my mouth to speak.

Me: Wh-
Adam: Don't even ask. 

He said as he was going down the stairs. I stood there for a moment and then followed him back. Ugh! Curiosity is killing me. I want to know what's in the room. We went to the dinning room and it was enormous. Adam turned and told me sit down. I did I was told and sat down. Adam sat in front of me and we both started eating. After we finished, he started saying 

Adam: You can get out of the room and around the palace, you can even go out to the garden. Joe is going to keep watch on you. 
Me: Umm, why did you kidnap me? what do you want me for?
Adam: You're too young to know. 

I didn't reply.  I felt that this was one big mess. And I don't have the courage to get involved. I thanked him for the food. I got up and started roaming the house, Joe was always near me to see what I was doing. I remembered the room I saw that was locked with chains. I started going up the stairs and told Joe that I was going to take shower and that he could go do anything in the mean while. Even though Joe was muscular, he wasn't exactly the type to catch on. 

After Joe went away I started tip toeing to the room. When I got there I started counting how many locks were in there. 7 locks. That is definitely weird. I tried looking from under he door, but it was too dark. I thought it was no use so I went back to my room. I took a long, hot shower. After I got dressed, I heard a knock on the door. And Joe's voice telling me that Adam wanted me downstairs. 

I dried my hair with the towel, then went downstairs. Joe showed me the way. I got there and Adam was reading a book. 

Me: Did you want me?

Adam looked from his book and answered with a nod. He closed his book and put it on the table next to him. 

Adam: We're going tomorrow to America. Get ready. 
Me: WHAT?! are you crazy?! I don't want to go!

Adam raised an eyebrow.

Adam: You don't exactly have a choice. 
Me: Isn't it the opposite?
Adam: Why so?
Me: I can't seriously travel without my passport!

Adam with a smirk raised my passport with the approval paper that I would travel with anyone. I was shocked. How could he get mu passport!

Me: How did you get this?!
Adam: I can get anything
Me: ... Anyway I won't go. plus I'm going to make a scene in the airport. 
Adam: We're going with my private plane. 
Me: ... UGH!!

I stomped my foot as I went out. Seriously what the hell was that?! Why do we need to go to America?
