You Belong to Me
The package was small.
But the risk wasn’t.
---
Nii walked fast, eyes alert, hands tucked into his hoodie.
Another delivery.
Another job.
---
“Just drop am near the junction,” Abu had said earlier.
“No delay.”
---
Nii didn’t ask questions.
He never did.
---
Minutes later—
It was done.
Clean.
Quick.
---
He turned to leave—
Then paused.
---
Voices.
Laughter.
---
Students.
---
He looked up.
Across the road—
The school.
---
And there—
He saw her.
---
Sakina.
---
Standing with a group of students.
Girls.
And—
A boy.
---
Nii’s eyes narrowed slightly.
---
The boy leaned closer.
Saying something.
---
Sakina laughed.
---
A small laugh.
But Nii noticed.
---
The boy touched her arm lightly.
---
That was enough.
---
Something in Nii shifted.
Cold.
Sharp.
---
His jaw tightened.
---
He watched for a few seconds longer.
Silent.
Still.
---
Then—
He pulled out his phone.
---
Nii: After school. Come and meet me.
---
He stared at the message for a second…
Then sent it.
---
---
Across the road—
Sakina’s phone buzzed.
---
She glanced at it.
---
And immediately smiled.
---
“I have to go,” she said quickly.
---
“Why?” the boy asked.
---
“Something came up.”
---
She didn’t wait for more questions.
---
Because nothing mattered once he called.
---
---
After school—
---
She didn’t even go home.
---
She went straight to him.
---
---
Nii stood where he always did.
---
Still.
Quiet.
But something about him felt… different.
---
Sakina approached, smiling softly.
“You wanted to see me?”
---
No response.
---
Her smile faded slightly.
---
“…Nii?”
---
He looked at her.
Slowly.
---
“Who was that?”
---
Her brows furrowed.
“Who?”
---
“The boy.”
---
Silence.
---
Sakina blinked.
“Oh… him? He’s just—”
---
“Just what?”
---
His tone was calm.
Too calm.
---
“Just a classmate,” she said quickly.
---
Nii stepped closer.
---
“You were laughing.”
---
Her heart skipped.
“I was just talking—”
---
“He touched you.”
---
That one hit harder.
---
Sakina’s voice softened.
“It didn’t mean anything.”
---
Silence.
---
Nii stared at her.
Long.
Intense.
---
Then—
“Don’t do that again.”
---
Sakina froze.
---
“…what?”
---
“Talking to him like that.”
---
Her chest tightened slightly.
---
“But he’s just—”
---
“I said don’t.”
---
Still calm.
But firm.
---
Silence fell.
---
Sakina looked at him.
Confused.
A little shaken.
---
“…why?” she asked quietly.
---
A pause.
---
Then—
“Because you belong to me.”
---
---
The words hung in the air.
Heavy.
---
Sakina’s heart raced.
Fast.
---
She didn’t fully understand it.
---
But it did something to her.
---
Something deep.
---
“…I do?” she asked softly.
---
Nii held her gaze.
---
“You got it?”
---
A beat.
---
Sakina nodded slowly.
---
“…yes.”
---
---
Her voice was small.
But certain.
---
“I’m sorry,” she added quickly.
---
Nii didn’t respond.
---
But he stepped back slightly.
---
Conversation over.
---
---
Sakina stood there.
Quiet.
Processing.
---
Part of her felt…
Strange.
---
But a bigger part—
Felt chosen.
---
Important.
---
Loved.
---
Even if it wasn’t.
---
---
As she walked away later—
Her thoughts were tangled.
---
He cares about me… that’s why he said that.
---
He doesn’t want to lose me.
---
She smiled faintly.
---
Completely missing the truth.
---
---
Because naive love—
---
It doesn’t see clearly.
---
It believes quickly.
---
And it holds on—
---
Even when it shouldn’t.
---
---
Across the street—
Abu stepped out slowly.
---
“I saw everything,” he said.
---
Nii didn’t respond.
---
Abu shook his head.
---
“You’re not just using her anymore.”
---
Silence.
---
“That one?” Abu continued,
“That was control.”
---
A pause.
---
Nii looked away.
---
“…same thing.”
---
But his voice—
Wasn’t as convincing as before.
