One Last Kiss Chapter 18

Julia opened the eyes and saw nothing but darkness. Her eyes were covered with something and she couldn't move as he legs and hands were tied to something. She wanted to shout although she couldn't as she was too afraid to. When she listened very closely she could hear two men's talking to each other in some other language. She didn't exactly remembered how she ended up kidnapped. She felt the fear inside her body and didn't know whether she should move or stay still. She had no idea where she was and who kidnapped her.

She remembered when she was walking around her house and talking with her sister when someone grabbed her from behind and placed their hand over her mouth. She was pretty sure it was two men therefore she didn't have a chance to see their face.

"Who are you?" She finally got herself to ask. "What do you want?" Her hands started to shake as she thought they might want to hurt her. She felt uncomfortable. "Please untie at least my eyes so I can see" She was begging and waiting for some response but there was nothing. She still could hear them talking in some other language. She knew she could feel a little bit more relieved if she had her eyes untie. She was scared and panicked of not knowing whats going to happen. "Where am I?" She asked. Receiving no answer she started to cry. "Please"She continued to beg. She had no idea where she was and how she have gotten here.

"Ok" She`ve heard one of them saying with a broken accent. "But only eyes" He said and she felt him untying her eyes. After he took the material off her face she looked around the room. At first she was dazzled by the light but then she looked around to pick up something that might be familiar. But there was nothing. She began to stared at the kidnappers.

"I think I saw you before" She said unsurely looking at Zakir. She knew he looked familiar although he couldn't guess where she met him before. Two of them were wearing a black jacket and were quite tall.

"I think you did" He said with a scary smile.

"What do you want from me?" She asked. The tears were strimming down her face.

"About two years ago. You got pregnant with Amar didn't you?" Zakir asked and pointing the gun continued "Tell the truth or you are going to die" He said . Julia felt so scared.

"Yes I did" She began telling the truth as she believed that only truth can save her.

"And you never got married after that with Amar didn't you?"

"I haven't. He moved back to Pakistan. I've lost him. I haven't seen him since then."

"Where's the child?" He asked and demanded for answer

"I had an accident. I never gave a birth to it. I've lost it while I was pregnant" Julia started to cry. All the memories she was trying to hide from herself for so long start to recall again. It was too painful for her. She couldn't stand this feeling.

"Right. But it doesn't justify the whole situation" He said.

"What situation?" Julia felt lost. She didn't know what he was trying to say.

"How much do you know about Islam?" He asked. "I guess not much"

"I know nearly nothing." She replied

"Exactly. Look getting pregnant or even having sex before marriage is one of the worst sins in Islam. If it happens to anyone they should repent and ask for forgiveness to Allah and most importantly face the punishment " He said and finished .

"Punishment?" She asked with confusement. "What are you trying to do ?"

"Apparently he went to your house after we kidnapped you and Hussain should take care of him in the name of Allah."

"Are you going to kill him?" She asked and start crying. There was no reply. "Are you going to kill him?" She repeated but they ignored her "I don't fucking understand this. So you are saying that getting pregnant or sex before marriage is deadly sinful but killing another human being isn't?" She cried out loud "Just tell me - why? He is innocent. You don't have nay rights to kill him "She tried to move but she was tied so heavily that she could feel the pain in tied bits. "You are all going to hell ! You are!" She was in agony. She started to yell .

"Oh shut up!" Zakir picked up the gun from anger. Julia stopped shouting and cried inside. She was trying to keep all the emotions for herself. It was hard but possible. They sat and started to continue the conversation in their language. Julia couldn't understand anything from what they were saying. She had no idea what they were talking about.

Trying to focus her eyes her mind felt strange. She was going back with a thoughts about Amar. Is he still alive? The days turned into years. The minutes turned into hours. She felt like all the bad dreams came true. She was sitting tied up to chair waiting for release when she've heard someone entering the room. It was Hussain. He came back. He had a massive bruise on his head.

"Is it done?" Zakir asked. "Can we take care of her now ?" He pointed at Julia who's eyes were wide opened.

"No" Hussain said "I had a difficulties. Someone have called the police. I had to sneaked out of here."

Listening to this Julia felt relieved. So Amar is still alive. Maybe he will come and release her from this hell she was experiencing here.

"But don't worry. Hopefully he will come back." He said looking at Julia "Do you think he will leave her like that? He's obviously still in love with her and when he will get back - we'll finished them off at the same time"

Julia seemed so calm and her hands were shaking. She was totally into control that she almost frozen. Her feet were bare, her hair was loosen and she seemed to have a panicked look on the face of someone who doesn't exactly know what was going on. It was the end -wasn't? Amar will come back for her and they will kill them both.
...
When the police arrived in the house Hussain escaped from the garden side. Amar tried to stand up .... but he was constantly falling down while trying it. His arm was bleeding but at least he was still alive. When he finally got himself to stand up the police entered the house. He nodded, made the notes relevant to the investigation and the others called for some more police. But so far there was nothing. Julia disappeared and no one had any clues where she might be. The sergeant Stannard questioned him and Julia's sister who still was in big shock. Amar have told them everything he knew. It was easy for him as the kidnappers were the part of his family. He knew they didn't trusted him and was suspecting that there's even bigger possibility that they were hating him. It was a difficult to believe but anything but possible to do. He gave them every single detail he could possibly find. He wished Julia is safe.

"The quicker we will find her the better it will be. We don't know who we have to deal with." The sergeant said. When they were collecting the evidences and details the police detectives arrived wanting to be in charge of the investigation. There was so many people in one place.

"So we have to deal with religious fellas do we?" Sergeant Stannard asked.

"Yes" Amar answered. It was like a nightmare or a very bad movie they had to experienced in real life. The police was running around the house collecting the samples but it was quite pointless. The kidnappers have thought everything through. There was nothing they could find. Amar was told to stay calm and with a pain and fear he was trying to be polite and deliberate although inside his mind he thought that he will snap and go crazy.

"Listen. Think carefully. This woman life may depend on the information you giving me." He said to Amar "Think twice before you say anything out loud." Amar was trying not to miss and information out. He knew everything was relevant to this investigation.

"So do you know the place where they might kidnapped her? "Sergeant asked. Amar shook his head saying that he doesn't.

"Knowing Hussain and Zakir - she might be dead by now" He said panicked. It wasn't easy thing to say. The police was threatening him like one of the murders. It really was making him feel mad.

The police detectives stood in doors looking at Amar.

"Why am I not surprised? They are Muslims. They push they luck in our country and the worst thing is that the government is letting that happen. Personally I think they should go back where they came from. England is for English people only." One of the detectives said. Amar was sitting near so he have heard what they were talking about. To their surprise he just looked at them and ignore everything. He had a lot of different things on his mind and it wasn't the first time when someone said something like this behind his back.

"So are you related to the girl that has been kidnapped? "They finally asked.

"No. We were going out around two and a half years ago. Then we broke up and haven't seen each other for more than two years. "He said

"When was the last time you saw her?" One of the detective asked.

"3 days ago." He said recalling everything.

"What have you been doing?" One of the detective asked. He pretended to be friendly to him.

"We spent the night together." Amar said and took a deep breath.
...
Hussain and Zakir received a short phone call and began to move towards Julia. She felt a fear and panic. Are they going to kill her now? She looked worryingly.

"It's time" Hussain said and told her to stand up. She tried but then she fell on the floor crying. They picked her up.

"What are you doing?" She cried, not knowing what to do. Besides there was not much she could of possibly do right now. Her hands and legs were tied. She barely could move. "Don't touch me!" She yelled with panic.

Don't let them frighten you. Something have told her. But she was holding fairly well considering that she was kidnapped and scared to think whats going to happen next.

"What does it have to do with me?" She asked when they were trying to move her.

"It's character stuff." Zakir said "You are the only person that Amar can possibly come back to. Its like a fish in a tank" They both laughed. Julia didn't found this funny. She was scared and freezed. "Where are you taking me?" She asked. She knew she shouldn't be saying much right now.

"Could you just shut up for a second." Hussain gone mad and throw the blanket over her to make sure she wont see anything. They took her to the car. For another hour Julia was blindfolded taken out the car and thrown into room. She could see nothing. Again she didn't know where she was or why she has been seized. She lied on a cold floor. For a moment she tried untie herself but she couldn't possibly do it. In the morning the kidnappers removed the blanket, gave her a food which included a piece of cheese toast. Later they asked if she wanted some water. Instead Julia asked if she could sit up. She wasn't feeling comfortable. It was a third day she was kidnapped. They covered her mouth with a blanket so she couldn't say anything. She sat alone in a dark room, crying.
...
Adrian was trying to hold to Julia in a day she've been kidnapped. He had no idea what has happened. He remained hopeful but after one day not answering the calls he decided to visit her place to see if she was ok. When he arrived there was no one in a house. The place was clear. He thought that it was unusual for Julia to completely ignore him. He decided to come visit her parents that day but they were out of town. He was confused for a while and realized that it has been one week left to their wedding and they suppose to leave in four days time but no one was bothered to get in touch with him. He spend the third night alone wondering where she might be.
