Scared

Natalia's POV :

One hour later, the door bell rang that made me flinch in fear. I slowly walked to the door and heard mom's voice. I sighed in relief and opened the door.

"Mom, where is granny?" I asked when my mother entered in alone.

"Her sugar level is very low. And she's not in a good condition so the doctor had suggested to admit her in the hospital tonight."

"But she looked fine. How did it happened?" I gasped.

"She hid her problems from us so that we don't worry about her." Mom sighed.

"Don't worry. She can come back home one day later. She just needs the medications. She will be fine." Mom smiled sadly.

"Yes, everything will be fine." I nodded.

I was shocked and sad hearing that. I loved her so much though we used to engage in a lot of arguments everyday. That was fun actually.

"Natalia, why are you wearing a scarf?" Mom suddenly asked.

"It's nothing, mom. I'm just having a throat ache." I uttered awkwardly.

"I'm taking Ellerie with me after dinner. You have to stay home alone, honey." I looked at mom in horror.

He was coming to get me tonight and now mom was telling me this! There was no way that I was staying here alone!

"Alone? Why? Dad isn't coming tonight?"

"No. He's stuck with some important work so he has to stay there tonight."

"Can I come with you? I mean I want to see granny."

"Sorry, honey. I'll take you tomorrow evening." Mom smiled.

"Okay, but can I stay at Marjan's house tonight?"

"Of course. You can."

After dinner, mom dropped me at Marjan's house and went to the hospital along with Ellerie. I messaged Reema to come to Marjan's place in the evening so she was also there.

"What?!!" Marjan and Reema shouted.

"Yeah, look at my neck." I pushed the scarf aside and showed them the mark.

"OH MY GOD! I can't believe any of this sh*t!" Reema put her hands on her forehead.

I told everything to my friends. I can't hid this from them. I needed help but I couldn't tell my parents about it. If they found out we went to a club and that was the main cause of this awful mess then it would be another mess.

"He was in my bedroom that night. It wasn't a dream!" I cried out.

"What the actual freak! He's been stalking you! He even broke into your room!" Reema gasped.

"Natalia, don't cry. We'll find a way." Marjan hugged me.

"How? I have only two hours. Then he'll come and take me away." I cried hard thinking about that sh*t.

"It's not that easy. Who the hell does he think himself? Let's go to uncle Jacob." Reema uttered.

"NO! He warned me! He'll sl*t my every family member's throat one by one in front of me and Ell will be the first one." I sniffed.

"I think I got a way." Reema and I quickly turned to Marjan.

"Which way? Don't ask me to go to the police station." I shook my head.

"Fardinn." Marjan muttered.

"What? How can he help us?" Reema frowned.

"I don't need his help." I scoffed.

"God, girls we can't sit here like this. I've heard he has many criminal friends. As Talia said, I think those people are also criminals. So only Fardinn can help us in this situation." Marjan muttered and shook her head.

"Yes, you have a logic. But I don't think he'll help us." I wiped my tears.

"But we can try at least." Marjan looked at us hopefully.

"Okay" I huffed.

I grabbed my phone and dialled Fardinn's number. After a few seconds of ringing, he received the call.

"Natalia?"

"Hey, Fardinn." I sniffed.

"Are you okay? You suddenly called me after a long time?"

"Can you meet me at Marjan's place."

"Is everything alright? Okay, I'm coming in a few minutes."

"Okay."

With that I cut the call and looked at my friends. They were also so sad and terrified. I hugged them tightly as they hugged me back.

Ten minutes later, Fardinn's car seemed to stop in front of Marjan's house. He got out of the car and entered in the house. Luckily Marjan's parents were at work. Otherwise they would want to know what was happening.

"Were you crying, Natalia?" Fardinn looked at me with concern and asked.

"She's in a big problem. We need your help." Reema muttered.
