Meeting him? No

Tayiba woke up with a massive head and felt like someone left her after beating continuously for 2 hours. She felt like she was in a sitting position and tried to move only to find she was bonded with ropes. Her head was blank as she opened her eyes only to see darkness and a small ray light coming from a small bulb above her head.

She tried to move to free herself, but she was bound to the chair, and it looked like the rope which held her wrists was burnt in such a way that it felt like a scale. After a couple of attempts, they dug into her skin, causing fresh blood to drip down her hands. It seemed that by the way the rope was designed, they were made in a way that inflicted damage on those who tried to escape by injuring their hands. An exact situation Tayiba was now facing.

She tried to yell, but her words didn't make it past the cloth tied around her mouth by her captor. The muffled, gagging like voices she made proved useless so she gave up after a few quiet screams. She sifted through her memory, trying to find a clue as to how she ended up there, and although it was foggy, everything came rushing back to her.

Like always, she went to pick up Aahil from school and, after picking him up, was settling down in her car when she got a call from Selena informing her that Aleena got discharged and went home. So she decided to go back too. On the way home, a man suddenly jumped in front of her car, forcing her to slam down on the brakes of her car, but it still collided with the man. She looked at the back seat to see if Aahil was okay, letting out a sigh of relief when he was.

"Munchkin, aunt is going to check on the man. You stay here," she instructed with a stressed face.

"Yes, aunt," Aahil smiled encouragingly.

She exited the car and went to the man to see him lying upside down and sat down beside him, shaking him nervously. 

"Sir, are you okay?!" she asked with concern.

She got no reply, so she shook him violently, hoping for a reaction when Aahil shouted, "LOOKOUT!!" 

She looked back, and something hit her head, then she fell to the ground, unconscious.

'That reminds me, where is Aahil?' Tayiba pondered, looking around the dim room, 'I hope whoever kidnapped us didn't hurt him and sent him back to Aleena. I don't know what they did, but I need to free myself.' as she was struggling, the soft footsteps of a man echoed into the room, a loud greeting accompanying them.

"Tch, look how my dove is struggling," said a manly voice.

'Why is that voice.. so familiar...?' Tayiba wondered, her eyes widening when a clue of his identity hit her, 'no... it can't be..' 

She jerked her head up to see who it was, flinching when a male with blond hair and brown eyes flashed in front of her eyes. 

She whispered with a sour face, "sherry."

"yes, dove, you are right," he said with a smile while tayiba was in shock on how and why he kidnapped me.his face reminded tayiba of all the thing that's she was trying to forget.then somehow tayiba managed to ask

"Why am I here?" Tayiba asked in confusion

"you are kidnapped," he said with a smirk

"I can guess that genius," tayiba said with a matter of fact face

"Why am I here sherry, or should I say Akhil?" Tayiba mocked him

"you are here on orders," he said with a proud face

"yeah and you're still a puppet of prince zain," tayiba said with a smile

"I am not," he said with an angry face

"you are the same as always. doing as ordered, you kidnapped me let me guess it is because of that zain"  tayiba said with a bitter smile

"behave," he said with a stern face

"or what killed me? you can't kill me, and you got no guts " tayiba said with a smile

"it doesn't matter to me your betrayal already killed me this won't even hurt" tayiba  continued with a bitter smile

"oh really," he said and pulled my hair

"what about now," he asked with  a smirk

"where is aahil," tayiba asked with a stressed face

"oh the kid sleeping in dungeons," he said with a smile

"dungeons he is a kid" tayiba  shouted

"you are acting as he is yours," he said with a hard smile

"oh does it hurts you to know that I moved on, oh poor you, I pity you,"  tayiba said with mocking smile

"what if I say yes will you come back?" he said  with love in his eyes

"to fraud, a liar  like you never in my life" tayiba spatted to earn a slap and she started laughing

"you still can't handle criticism, or does it hurt?" Tayiba said laughing

"yeah and you still love me," he said with mocking smile

"your wish, I better die than have you in my life," tayiba said with a smile

"fine I kill the kid " he threatened me

"no you can't, don't do anything to him," tayiba said afraid

"you seem to care about the kids and I can kill him, " he said challenging me

"what do you want?" Tayiba asked tired and lost

"address of Aleena and you," he said in commanding vice

"fine," tayiba said

"tell me," he asked or commanded me

"street 18 hut number 80," I told him with a sad voice

"ok"

He let go of my hair and called someone and strolled out of the room, leaving me in thoughts and memories, yes people tayiba  knew akhil before, and this is not the first time tayiba met him when tayiba first met him it was nine years back, thinking back at that time he was quite handsome with blond hair and a cute handsome face. Their first meeting was also weird
