I was caught between a rock and a hard place, Ayan slapped my hand away and ran out to meet the man.

"Grandpa" he screamed.

I got to know his identity all thanks to him.

He raised Ayan from the ground and walked in, he finds me and his goon who informed him, I had come to take the boy home.

"Seriously?" He exclaimed.

He dropped Ayan on the ground and asked him to go out and seat inside the car, he leaves following his grandfather's order and I'm sure, being alone with him isn't going to be a jolly LLB ride.

"You must be Samantha, the lady Kabir sent to have me those documents, He recalls.

I nodded swiftly taking my feet back, I wondered why Mr. David hasn't come with the police.

"That's nice," he added, pulling out a gun behind.

I had a shock, is he going to kill me, or I'm I hallucinating.

"Sir, is that a gun? I investigated.

"Sure, haven't you seen one before?" He asked loading bullets in it.

My heart started to whip-fast, I'm going to get murdered by Ayan's grandfather.

My eyes looked away for a minute, and I could have sworn I saw Kabir outside.

Mr. Abdul takes a look back to see what grabbed my attention, I saw his attendance was broken in two and so I grabbed a bottle on a wooden table and broke it on his head.

He falls unconscious.

I ran out so fast and sighted Kabir taking care of the goon kept to keep a watch on Ayan.

"Don't just stand there, so get my son,"

Kabir yelled.

Immediately I went to the car and carried Ayan to safety.

Kabir eventually knocked the goon unconscious and joins us to flee.

We were just about crossing the street to get to Kabir's car when a gun fired on the air, froze our feet.

We all turn and Ayan's grandfather staggered his way near us.

"Wow, the almighty Kabir is finally here?" He disparaged.

Kabir puts his hand up and blocked the gun from pointing at Ayan and me.

"Hello Abdul sir, don't you think it's quite shameful to kidnap your grandson,"

Kabir told.

"Really," he exclaimed, "don't you feel shamed, kicking your son's grandfather on the streets," he added.

Kabri laughed.

He takes out his phone and showed him a picture, I poked my head a little further and saw it was the same woman on the picture frame back at home.

"Do you see this woman, sir, your daughter abandoned me and my son, yet you feel I should be nice to her family," he spat on the ground, "oh hell no,"

Mr. Abdul gets infuriated by that, he reloads the gun, facing it directly to Kabir.

Ayan looked afraid, I saw the panic in his eyes seeing his dad in danger.

I couldn't possibly let anything happen to Kabir, even though he has been a jerk to me, and so without reasoning, I blocked the bullet from touching Kabir with my body.

I spat out blood gazing at Kabir's eyes.

I could hear him screaming my name, Mr. David finally comes with the police, and right there, my eyes falls asleep.

( Inaudible conversation)

I wakened in the hospital after falling unconscious, the last thing I remember is trying to flee with Kabir and his son when Mr. Abdul comes out with a gun.

Holy shit! Did I just take a bullet for Mr aggressive?.

Speak of the devil, he walks in with the doctor, Ayan ran out from behind and hopped on my bed.

"Miss Samantha, you're finally awake, how are you feeling?" He examined.

Kabir listened standing with the doctor, I'm sure he's getting set to scream my ear off, for actually snatching a bullet for him.

Kabir interrupts just in time before I could speak, he brings Ayan down from my body and asked the doctor if there was anything to worry about since the surgery went successful.

The doctor smiled and informed, I had nothing to worry about, Kabir thanks him and he smiles ridding out of the ward.

Ayan runs out as well, the minute he spotted Mr. David seated outside.

I almost felt like jumping out of bed because I'm certain Kabir is going to shout at me.

He grabs a chair and sits on it.

I hid and looked away, however, he brings out his chair and met face to face.

He is trying to get me upset?.

"Sir, what's up with you, "

I put forward a little from the bed.

He chuckled and gets up from the chair.

Kabir snatched my hands and pulled me closer to his face.

Our lips were just an inch close and for some strange reason, I had this urge to kiss him

Eww! No way.

Kabir started again looking at me, with so much intense gaze.

I thought maybe he wanted to tell something important, however, he dares to speak such rubbish to my ears.

.

He was like how dare you, take a bullet for me, do you not think beforehand, there's something called consequences you know.

I should have known doing something good for him won't be of any effort, Kabir is and will always be a heartless monster.

I nudged him away and got down from the bed, he takes a startling look at me as I staggered my way out of the ward.

"Samantha, you're not supposed to leave without the doctor's permission," he yelled.

I ignored and went out to the lobby, Ayan and Mr. David rushed to meet me.

Ayan thought I was ready to go back home with them but I had so much on my mind that I couldn't think of speaking.

I pulled him back and went out of the hospital, I called for a cab but he gets someone else instead.

Kabir runs out of the hospital and kept all calls, I had nothing to say to him, after all, what good did my sacrifice do for him.

I should have let him take the bullet.

"Taxi,"

I stopped by another taxi.

I got close and just when I was about to go in, Kabir slammed the door and dragged me back to him...

"Have you gone mad?"

He screamed to my face.

I plucked him off and called for another taxi, I got in and Kabir gets in with me.

I strived to leave, he hauled me down and ordered the cab driver to go.

Kabir brings me to a place that looked like a garden, he yanked me down from the car and asked the driver to leave.

He flees and right on time, Mr. David and Ayan come to the same place.

Ayan came to join me, we both locked eyes and smiled.

However, Kabir's voice interrupted.

"Listen to me Samantha, can I at least explain," he tells.

"Explain what sir," I pulled Ayan to Mr. David, "there's nothing to explain, you've said it all, back at the hospital," I amplified.

Kabir gets worried, he promised that whatever happened at the hospital wasn't supposed to sound in such a manner and that he was making an effort to be concerned about me.

On a ranking of 1/10, if that's Kabir's way be being concerned, I wonder what more odd things he knows how to do.

I chuckled and sat on the grass.

He seats next to me and Ayan at the other end.

"Samantha, I apologize if I sounded foolish at the hospital, I wasn't expecting you to jump out of nowhere and take a bullet for me," he takes his hand out, " I thanked you and I am sorry for being such a heartless monster, and will try to be less obnoxious, rude and arrogant to you,"

He added.

I looked at him and spotted his hand waving out to me, I don't know if I should trust Kabir, although he seems serious but what In the odd after today, he's going straight to his rude, obnoxious and arrogant attitude.

Regardless, of my thoughts, Ayan pulled my hand up and placed it on to his dad's.

Kabir locked hands with me and I could have sworn he laughed a little.

Kabir has never laughed before, well, since we crossed paths.

Afterward, we came back home, Kabir asked Mr. David to take me to my room while he gets Ayan ready for bedtime.

.

Ayan held his hand and they both disappeared into his bedroom.

I took a stroll with Mr. David and on our way to my room, we stopped at a huge frame of Kabir and his son hung on the wall.

Both father and son looked so happy.

"This is nice," I said.

"Sure, it was nice," Mr. David acknowledged.

" How do you mean," I turned over meeting him.

Mr. David gets to expose the fact that Kabir wasn't this ridged, he was calm, lovable, and understanding to his workers.

However, his wife's infidelity made him change into the Kabir we see today.

Rude, obnoxious, and arrogant.

"Do me a favor, Miss Samantha?"

Mr. David cried out while I passed the frame.

"Help sir, he needs someone to give him life again, " he added.

I met face to face, "what exactly do you mean?".

I inquired.

"Please, I don't know if it's possible, but I am begging you miss Samantha, bring back the old Kabir again, today he admitted guilt to you and it's been ages since I heard my boss say sorry,"

He walked closer to me, "sir Kabir needs you and Ayan needs his father,"

He added.

What on earth does he want me to do for Kabir, how can I help?.

....

Question of the day

1) Samantha's sacrifice may seem effective on Kabir, will this make him change his ill behavior towards her?

2) Mr. David wants Samantha's help, but what exactly does he want her to do?

3) Kabir apologized to Samantha, are we supposed to say, it's a start of a beautiful friendship, that turns to love and love into an unbreakable bond?
