Chapter 5

"No!" Rooh denied to have dinner because she knew if she had it what can be happen to her.

Sasha frowned at her sudden denial. She got suspicious of Rooh and Rooh also understand that her reply came so straightforward.

"I-I mean I'm not hungry." Rooh tried to manipulate her words.

"But why?" Sasha asked her.

"I think I'm still feeling dizzy and not feeling like to eat." Rooh replied.

"No Rooh you have to eat, if not you will be weak and feel more nauseous." Sasha tried to sound reasonable.

"But---" before Rooh can protest Sasha cutted her off.

"No buts and ifs you are eating whether you like it or not." Sasha said and smiled at her.

Rooh didn't have any other option other than to agree with Sasha but inside she was panicking, she can't eat that food. She started thinking of some way to dodge the upcoming problem for her.

"Uh-uh Sasha!" Rooh called her out.

Sasha peeked from the kitchen questionably.

"Can I have shower first?" Rooh tried to sound composed.

Sasha nodded her head monotonously. At this point she has started to get suspicious of Rooh. Rooh immediately skipped to her room and locked the door from inside.

She started pacing back and forth in the room thinking of ways to escape from here. She don't even know how and when she will escape but she had to, she can't be sent in wrong hands.

She immediately went near her bag and took out her phone deciding to message her parents about the situation and her whereabouts.

But to her unfortunate there were no signals in her phone. She started jumping on her bed and put the phone at high place but nothing work there was no connections in her phone or the people working for Sasha stopped the internet connections intentionally.

She don't want to make Sasha suspicious of her so she went to the attached bathroom in the room and took a quick shower not wanting to take enough time. She came out of the bathroom and wore an Indian outfit which was a baby pink and white coloured kurti with some designing in the front and a baby pink dupatta(scarf) with it.

She exhaled a sharp breath and came out of her room. She saw Sasha on the couch waiting for her with the plates of food. Sasha felt her presence and turned towards her.

"Come Rooh see I prepared something healthy and tasty for you and it's all vegan food." Sasha said to her knowing Rooh don't eat non-veg and eggs.

Rooh's heart clenched at her sweet gesture knowing it is all a facade to trap her. She considered Sasha as her best friend and told her everything about her. Sharing her days and nights with her and what she did? She betrayed her.

Rooh came and sat beside her. Sasha handed the plate to Rooh making her grimace but she immediately hid it. Sasha was watching Rooh only so she didn't had any other option but to eat the food in her hands.

Rooh started eating her food slowly making Sasha sigh in relief. There was a comfortable silence between both of them until they eat their food but inside Rooh was turmoil of emotions and fear. She was thinking every possible way to escape from here.

After few minutes, when Rooh and Sasha had their food and dumped the plates in sink. Rooh started to feel dizzy.

"Uh Sasha I'm feeling dizzy. I'm going to sleep." Rooh rasped in weak voice.

Sasha immediately knew that the drugs started kicking in her so she nodded at her.

"Okay you go I'm also sleepy goodnight." Sasha said and entered the room beside Rooh's room.

Rooh immediately ran inside in her room before she could get unconscious. She ran in the bathroom and stood in front of the toilet seat.

She thrust two of her fingers in her mouth and down her throat gagging and chocking herself. The cause of her actions made a bile to come up here throat and she let out all the contents she ate just a while ago insides the commode.

After she let out all the things she started feeling better and after rinsing her mouth she came out of her room. She dark water from the bottle she bought with her because now she can't trust Sasha even a bit.

She didn't knew that at what time Sasha and her men will come to take her and she was panicking. She has no way of escape but she can't let them do any wrong thing to her. She has to fight for herself for her life.

She started searching for something helpful in the whole room but there was not much things which can be useful for her until she came across a paperweight. For now this is the only thing she can use to save herself.

She immediately ran and sat beside the room with a shivering body waiting for anyone who will come to take her. Her mind was blank at this point she didn't knew what will she do now.

If she will be saved or not. If she will be successful in escaping and if yes where will she go in this unknown country where she knows no one. How come she got in this critical situation. She would have listened to her parents and shouldn't act stubbornly in front of them.

If she would have heard their decision she would have been with them at her home safe and sound. But here she is, far away from them not knowing what will happen the next second with her.

Will she be able to save herself or get sold by these criminals to some rich men and worse. What those rich men will do to her. Her whole body shuddered in fear and disgust just at thought of something appropriate happening to her. She prayed all the gods above her and her mahadev.

Suddenly after few hours of waiting she heard some hushed footsteps coming towards her room and now she knew it is do or die.

The doorknob of her room twisted making her heart drum in her ears. She has locked the room from inside. Sweat was trickling down her face. She prayed that all this is a nightmare of her and she will wake up from her sleep but nothing like that happened and it was the cruel reality.

After few minutes of shuffling the door got unlocked. What did she expect of course Sasha has a spare key to excess the room. The door of the room creaked open and the person entered inside.

Rooh was hidden behind the door. The person walked in the dark towards her bed but before they can reach and prayed all the gods and mahadev to forgive her for what she is going to do now.

With that she closed her eyes and hit the paperweight on that person's head with full force knocking them out. She opened her eyes after the thud sound and saw Sasha laying there groaning and hissing.

Rooh muttered a sorry and without wasting any time ran out of her room nog forgetting to lock Sasha in the room. She opened the main door and, started descending down the stairs of the building with all the might left in her.

She didn't even care to were any slipper or footwear and decided to run barefoot on the road. As soon as the men standing beside the building saw running her away they ran behind her.

Rooh saw behind her and saw the men running behind her. A whimper escaped her lips when she saw the dangerous men running behind her. She was running on the road, barefoot and above that in midnight.

No entity was even there to save her but she didn't dare to stop and keep running. She was tired of all the things happened in a single day to her but right now she didn't have a choice of thinking something.

She was aimlessly running on the middle of the road in midnight not finding any way of escape from those men.

Her feet started hurting and her body started trembling because of the cold weather. Her thin scarf was not doing any justice of hiding and securing her from the cold weather. Tears started streaming down her face and the exhaustion started taking over her.

Suddenly she fell backwards on the road. She moved her teary gaze and saw one of the men holding her scarf in his hand smirking at her.

"Пытаешься сбежать, сука?" the man said something to her but a frown etched upon her face when she didn't understood what that man said to her in a foreign language.

(Translation: Trying to run away, bitch?)

Rooh whimpered and joined her hands in front of the men who also joined that man.

"P-please let me go." she pleaded to them but in return all of them laughed at her mocking.

The same man held her arm roughly and yanked her off from the floor. But before he could do anything Rooh bite at his hand hard making him to leave her immediately. She pushed him hard away from her.

She yelled a sorry to him and started running away from them as fast as possible. She decided to run away and hide from them so she could run far away after they will not be able to find her.

She ran some more steps and suddenly got thrown away on the hard concrete road. A yelp escaped her mouth and bright light hitting her face making it impossible for her to see anything.
