Caught In A Cuff

At The Mall

Hasan's POV

We reached the mall in fifteen minutes. It was close to the venue so it does not take us much time to reach there. As told by Zara I looked around for the ethnic store and walked straight towards it. The store was full of designer ethnic outfits. The store boy led me to the men's section while my men kept following me as usual. I started searching around for something in yellow and green for me. There were so many different shades of green and yellow as well, making it more difficult for me to choose from. Why do these colors have to come in different shades of themselves? I mean why cant a yellow just be yellow? Why it has to be light yellow, dark yellow mustard yellow, and all that? And the same goes for green and other colors. It's so confusing. Now, who is gonna tell me that which yellow does Zara wants me to wear tomorrow. I was lost in my trail of thoughts getting frustrated when a sweet female voice interrupted my thoughts. I twirled around to look for her. My eyes just stayed on her. She was wearing a black and red salwar suit. It was her presence that left me dumbfounded. She looked like an angel that had fallen straight from heaven in front of me. I did not speak even a single word. Nothing was essentially more than her. Her long hair, pale skin, and brown kohled eyes complimented her so beautifully. Her face was a sculpture of adorableness and cuteness. I could easily say she was an innocent soul. Oh, Man! I wanted her so badly She belonged to me only me." Umm! actually I found this baby standing at the corner alone. Is she with you?" she again tried to reconnect. Whatever she said bounced over my head because my brain, heart, and soul were busy admiring her beauty and innocence. She looked at me confusingly waiting for me to  respond." Shanaya my baby." another male voice broke the silence. the man came closer to us with his wife and snatched the baby from her. His wife was continuously yelling at my girl while that angel kept trying to explain herself. And soon tears started rolling down her eyes. It felt like her tears were landing straight into my heart breaking the heart into pieces. Her face turned red and she was shivering with fear. I don't know why but her tears were hurting me more than anything. I really wanted to wipe off her tears and kiss her eyes. Suddenly the man grabbed her by her arms and tried to pull her along. It was when my hands squeezed into fists." How dare he touch my girl". A fresh swell of rage rose in me and I trembled with rage seeing him touching her. I promised myself that I would not do anything bad till I am here for Zara's wedding but I could not help it. I cannot stand by the fact that anyone other than me touched her, I will make him count his misstatements.Maybe the time has come to change the priorities. I could not resist and ended up landing a tight slap on that man's face. My guards also pulled out their guns and pointed straight towards him. "How dare you touch her? I can cut off your hands for doing that and trust me  nobody could save you. You have no idea who I am. I can make you vanish from this whole world forever, So just take your family and get out of my sight right now..I said clenching my teeth. As soon as the couple saw the guns they ran away with their daughter. My girl was still standing frozen looking at me with her shocking expressions. I moved slightly towards her." It's rare to find someone as innocent as you. Anyone can scare you very easily."I whispered into her ears leaning towards her.She slowly took a step back and ran straight out of the store. I tried following her but a call from amma stooped me from doing so. I picked up the call in a hurry," Yes  Amma what is it? I asked restlessly."Hasan where are you? I have been looking for you around. You are not in your room." Amma inquired." Amma I'll call you later I have some important work to do" I hung up the call and rushed towards the exit door. I looked around everywhere but could not spot her anywhere." Where could she be gone in a matter of seconds.?" My head swirled around in every direction. My body shook in fear as if I had lost her forever. I raked my fingers through my hair, feeling lost.Man, I don't even know her damn name. I manically ran around the place pushing and shoving people out of my way. I just wanted to seize a glimpse of that beauty. But she was gone. Gone somewhere I don't even know. " Find her for me" I ordered my men. I went inside the store again, took the first green and yellow kurtas that came to my sight, and came back to my room
