Amar stood in front of the mirror wondering which color of tie would suit his milk colored suit. He decided to settle for a black tie which he immediately knotted and brushed his hair one last time. He looked dashing, that he was sure about.

"Daddy mummy isn't in her room" Amal said. "and I'm not ready for school yet" she made a pout.

"Where could she have gone to, maybe she's in the kitchen. Come let's go get you ready for school" he picked Amal up in his arm and began walking out of the room.

They arrived at Amal's room, where he immediately bathed her calmly and dressed her into her pair of neatly ironed uniforms.

"You look pretty" he said while pecking her nose. "Now come let's go find your mumy" he said to Amal who trailed behind him. They made their way into Habiba's room but as known, she wasn't there.

"Habiba!" He said out loud but it went unanswered.

"Did you check the kitchen?" He asked and Amal nodded. "come let's go downstairs" he said. They both went downstairs, the livingroom looked just like it had been left yesterday, which is so unlike Habiba.

"Habiba" he yelled loudly but got no response.

"Amal stay here, I'm coming" he ran in a quick pace towards her room and pushed it open, he opened her wardrobe but couldn't find her suitcase. His doubt were confirmed, habiba has left him.

"Oh no" he muttered with a little tear cascading down his eyes, he couldn't believe that Habiba had left him. He felt extreamly scared, he had lost her.

He immediately called her cellphone which was switched off. His heart skipped a beat, he was extremely scared.

Habiba on the other hand laid on the floor while clutching her tommy tightly, her wounded legs were chained to the wall in other for her not to escape. She was in deep trouble as Sadiq has injured her beyond words. Her face had swollen up due to the slaps she had received from him.

"Rise and shine my love, I brought you breakfast" he said, she got up slowly and sat on the floor with tears cascading her eyes.

"Sadiq why are you doing this?, What are you gaining from inflicting pain upon me?" She said in a whisper.

"Joy, satisfaction and vengeance. Yes I rejoice in your pain and agony. I hate you" he said and Habiba began to sob.

"But I don't hate you" she said while picking up the cup of water that laid before her. She took a great gulp that satisfied her thirst.

"What if I had poisoned the water?" He added calmly.

"I know you won't, you injured me but still cleaned my wound. I know you still love me" she said, she scooped a spoon of Indomie Noddles and immediately swallowed it.

"You are wrong, I hate you and love you at the same time. Crazy right?" He said and she nodded. Yes he is crazy, crazy enough to kill her. That she was sure off.

"And you know what?" He asked.

"No" she responded while sipping on the apple juice before her.

"If I can't have you, no man can Habiba. That's why I must kill you" she began chocking on the Indomie after his words.

"But don't worry, I give you a painful death. I'll make it easy for you" he said. Tears began to form in her eyes at his words. Yes, Sadiq had lost his sanity. She thought.

"It hasn't gotten to this Sadiq, please" she whispered.

"It has" he began talking but her eyes drifted slowly to her cellphone which was under the chair in the room.

"What are you staring at?" He asked, he turned arround but didn't see anything.

"Don't plan to escape, we're out of Abuja and no one will ever find you" he said. She swallowed a huge lump due to fear.

"I won't" she said and he smiled and patted her on the head.

"Good girl" he said. "Well I'll be going out now, but be rest assured that I'll be keeping an eye on you. So don't try anything funny Habi" he pecked her forehead and she nodded. Though she felt extremely disgusted by him.

"Alright bye, I'll see you in two hours" he said and she nodded with a fake smile.

"Good girl" he said once again before making his way out of the room. A room which only had a bed, a chair and an Air conditioner. Hell where was she, she thought.

After making sure he had left, her eyes drifted back to the cellphone which she struggled to pick up. It was a hard task because her legs were chained and the more she stretches the more her legs get torn by the sharp objects he had made the chains with.

"Ahhh" she yelped when she could feel how sore her legs felt. As if luck was on her side, she grabbed the phone and immediately searched for Amar's cellphone number.

"I have been kidnapped, I'm turning on my location so that you can find me. He will kill me" she texted Amar who immediately replied.

"i promise I'll find you" he responded. A smile washed over her face. She made sure to turn on her phones location as well as hide it under the bed. She began to recite prayers with the hope that he'll find her.

* * * *

Amar on the other hand Immediately ran to the police without informing anyone in the house, including Ameerah who had shown fake sympathy. He immediately a missing persons report and a search team who were on the case of tracking her cell phone using her phone number.

It wasn't an easy task but with God by their side they knew they would crack the location.

"Kaduna state ugwan rimi" the police read out what was written on the computer screen. "We know where she is" the police rejoiced.

"Thank you, let's go get her please. He says he'll kill her" Amar said and the police immediately gave their orders and they set of to find Habiba.
