Married to Mr. Mafia by Nusrat Jahan (books for 10th graders TXT) 📗

" Thank you, " he mumbled .

" What ??" 

" I said thank you, " he mumbled .

" I think there is water in my ear . But I don't even know how to swim " 

'' You are such an annoying girl, " he said, getting up from the ground .

" Not more than you " I said watching him drag himself to the tent.

Even though I tried to lighten the mood my heart clenched everytime he winced in pain . I wanted to know who those people were , why they were behind him but by watching him, already well prepared for the attack, I realised it's part of his life . I followed him inside the tent , he was wincing in pain . He sat down in a sleeping bag, closing his eyes .

I opened the bag which he brought while escaping from that basement , searching for what I expected to be there. I took out a first aid kit .

Tearing the side of my stole , I sat down beside him . He opened his eyes and stared at me with narrowed eyes .

" I need to clean your cuts " he raised his one eyebrow questioning " please" 

His broken lip twitched up in a small smile and that was a signal for me to start my treatment .

I dried his wet face with a towel and cleaned his cut with alcohol pads making him hiss in pain .

" Stop, " I said, making him scowl at me .

Cautiously , I applied an ointment on his lower lip and couldn't stop staring into his eyes .

His eyes flickered to my lips , I retracted my hand back . I applied ointment on other small scratches on his face .

" Where did you learn these things? " I looked confused .

" Did you work as a nurse before ?" He joked .

I shook my head with a sad smile , I couldn't tell him that I started patching my cuts at a very young age and learning to heal them but the bruises are still on my mind whenever I remember those moments it's always fresh as new .

" What are you doing? " my eyes widened in panic .

He gave me ridiculous look " removing my shirt Sherlock " 

" But why? " I made some distance . Though we shared a room for one night, that doesn't mean he will be shirtless in front of me .

I turned to find him struggling to remove his shirt , his shirt was wet and almost dirty . If he fell asleep then he might get sick . 

I got closer with my heart beating wildly . I grab the hem of his shirt , his body becomes stiff . I pulled his shirt off , he dragged the bag and pulled out another clean shirt . I helped him put his shirt on .

We didn't say anything to each other , the atmosphere around us was unusually tense .

We both laid down  " who are they Khalid? " I turned around to face him .

'' enemy " he said just one word , I rolled my eyes. Does he think I don't know that?

" Why are they behind you? " I ask again .

" Get some sleep , we will leave this place soon " he turned around . I swear if he wasn't my husband or I wasn't a practicing muslim , I would have kick in his I , me , myself head .

After a while , I turned silent , he was knocked out . I also fell asleep after a few minutes.

Flash back 

"  Assalam-Alaikum " a woman came looking really worried .

" Wa-Alaikum-Assalam " a police officer replied, finishing his tea.

" I want to register a complaint about my daughter Bushra. She went to her college with her friends this morning but she has not arrived till this time and time is 12 o'clock now " her tone was desperate for her daughter .

Police Officer eyes narrowed a little " Have you asked your neighbours and Bushra  friend about her? " 

 " Yes, No one has seen her. " Her eyes got teary .

" Then give me some details about her " the officer opened his register .

Police Officer: "How old is your daughter Bushra?"

Mrs. Aslam: " 21 " 

Police Officer:" In which class does she read?"

Mrs. Aslam: "She reads in second year "

The police officer continued to ask some more questions after that the women took leave feeling helpless .

" What happen to her " Humza took of his cap while staring at the women who walk away .

" This is the 5th missing girl in this month " Sultan, one of the cops, sighs .

" Things are getting serious .." Humza started a picture of the innocent girl .

" Yeah … we need to find the culprit soon," Sultan shook his head .

" It's not just one culprit , it's a whole damn gang …." Humza said after a while .

" Big and dangerous gang, " he added .

After a month of investigation Humza saved almost 4 girls from human trafficking .

He was the bravest police officer , people cheered for his bravery .

" Assalamualaikum " Humza took his call .

" Okay I am coming " Humza wore his cap .

" Investigate the whole , I will go and talk to sir in this matter "  with which Humza went outside the police station . He was about to sit on his bike when all of a sudden a black cloth wrapped around his head , something sharp slightly dug behind his back .

" Come with me or else I will blow your head " a deep raspy voice said .

Humza surrendered raising his hand , slowly the man behind started taking  him. I don't know where .

Door clicked and the black cloth took off .

SURPRISE……. 

Hamza's eyes fluttered as he adjusted his eyes… only to see his wife  , kid and his parents in law clapping happily .

" How was the surprise jij ( brother in law ) " Khalid peed from behind .

" Well ladies and gentlemen , here I kidnapped your so called IG officer " Khalid bowed proudly only to flip by Hamza on the floor .

" Owe …" Khalid groans ..

" Nice try brother in law but I knew it was you , the front mirror of my bike said it long back " Humza shook his head then offered his hand to Khalid who was just in his 20s shielded by the cruelty of the world .
