Hana got up at around ten next morning ..thankfully it was her off today.
As she tried to move, her painful private parts reminded her of the previous night.
A lone tear slid down her cheek, she gathered herself and limped into the washroom.
Other horrors were waiting for her when she saw her body in the mirror inside.
Her neck was bruised, and several bite marks were visible over it....how would she hide them at the job, was her first thought.
She further examined her body and noticed the red marks left by his belt on her skin. She hissed in pain when she tried to touch them, they were still raw and tender. She felt sorry for her state, how did she end up here?? Her eyes watered again.
Her eyes and lips were swollen and her lower lip had a small cut.
She switched on the hot water in the tub and took a long soaking bath. It relaxed her sore muscles and eased her mind a bit.
She needed a plan, she made a mental note to call her friend, to enquire if she had found a detective. They needed the best one, even if that meant all her savings. A lot depended on that.
When she came out of shower, she realised someone changed the bedsheet, and put her clothes in the cupboard. She was thankful that she didn't have to face anyone.
She noticed a plate of breakfast was left on the table for her.
She quickly changed her clothes and ate her breakfast, as she was starving. The last meal was about 24 hrs ago.
After finishing, she opened her door to put the empty plates in the kitchen and returned into her room. Suddenly she heard a knock on her door, her heart sank.
She didn't want to face him.
' Oh, God! Not him plz', She saw a young boy of around 4-5 years peeping inside her room.
He was a cute little chubby thing, a delight to the eyes.
' Hello !! ', she said, smiling at him.
Without replying, he ran away from her room.
Hana smiled after him.
The whole day passes on calls and the Internet. At the day's end, she managed to finalise the detective, Mr Chan.
She also contacted Yusuf and connected him with Chan.
They must start the investigations as soon as possible...If she wants to win this game from Dr Shehryar, she needed to be two steps ahead.
He was rich and influential, and they were not.
Tomorrow is a new day, and I have to go to the hospital.
'How would I face him daily at work?',She thought sadly.
Night came again, and she started pacing her room in fear and anticipation.
Will he come again? Should I lock the door.? No ..No...that would only piss him off, not stop him.
'If he finds me awake, he would try to have his way with me. I should go to sleep. Yes...I should sleep',
After contemplating for long...she decided to go to sleep and soon drifted into it.
On the other hand, Shehryar was working on his laptop. He was aware of her presence in the next room but he was aware that she would be sore from yesterday.
Shehryar didn't visit her that night. As, he wanted her to heal first before he can hurt her afresh!
