Chapter 4

Finally...

The plane safely landed in Russia. Rooh breathed in relief because it was the first time of her travelling alone and above that an international flight. She was scared would be an understatement because she was terrified and all the bad possibilities keep coming in her mind. Like what if the plane crash down and she will never reach to Russia and what not.

She came down from the flight and walked out of the airport searching for a familiar face in the crowd waiting there for their loved ones and family. A smile crept on her lips when she found that familiar face of her friend, Sasha.

She ran towards her and engulfed into a bear hug, that's her way of showing love.

"Finally we both met." Rooh said excitedly to Sasha.

"Yes I was waiting to meet you for so long." Sasha exclaimed in excitement and happiness in her Russian accent.

Rooh chuckled at her excitement and nodded her head in a yes.

"Me too." she said to her and grabbed her bag which she dropped on the floor in the process of hugging Sasha.

"Did your parents seriously allowed you to come here or you lied to them to meet me?" Sasha asked playfully but there was a weird curiousness at her face.

"No, I took permission and my father himself dropped me to the airport." Rooh cleared her confusion making her nod her head in understanding.

"Let's go to my apartment then we will talk a lot. I've a lot to tell you." Sasha said impatiently making Rooh chuckle again.

"Okay, okay let's go." she said and started walking with her.

A cab stopped infront of them which obviously Sasha called. They both sat in it and the driver started driving to Sasha's apartment.

Rooh remembered something and took out her phone from her bag. She switched on her phone and opened the front camera of her phone.

"Let's click a selfie together of our first meet." Rooh said happily.

Sasha seemed a little hesitant but nonetheless agreed to click the selfie with Rooh.

"Don't post it anywhere." Sasha suddenly interrupted making Rooh's head to snap at her.

She found her behavior a little odd but didn't try to comment on it thinking that she can have her own personal matters.

"No I'm not posting it anywhere just to my mom telling her that I reached safely here." Rooh explained to her.

"O-okay." Sasha agreed to her.

Rooh send the selfie at her mother's number telling her that she safely reached and met her friend also. Her mother told her to take care of herself and be safe making her smile at her concern.

Rooh placed her phone back in the bag and turned towards Sasha starting conversation with her. After few minutes of ride they stopped in front of an apartment which was like a little abandoned and the building was too old.

They got down from the cab and it drove off. Rooh scanned the surroundings and saw some men smoking and drinking at the corner of the building. She scrunched her nose up in disgust.

Sasha smiled nervously and said "I'm sorry I'm broke and can afford only this type of apartment."

Rooh's eyes softened at her words. "It's okay I don't mind here, I just don't like the smell of smoke and alcohol." she said assuringly.

"Let's go to the apartment." Sasha said and started walking with Rooh after glaring at the men there which went unnoticed by Rooh.

They both entered inside the building and started climbing the stairs. Sasha's apartment was on the 5th floor of the building. They both huffed out due to exhaustion and laughed out after looking at her other.

Sasha unlocked the door and they both entered inside the apartment. The apartment was looking cosy and comfortable from inside in comparison to outside. Rooh settled herself of the couch and Sasha immediately bought water from the kitchen.

Rooh gulped it down her throat and smiled in appreciation.

"Do you want to eat something?" Sasha asked her.

"No I'm tired and want to rest first. I'm feeling dizzy due to jet lag I guess." Rooh said due to feeling dizziness.

"Okay let me show you your room." Sasha said and show her a room with a bed and some furniture in it.

After Sasha went out of her room Rooh dropped herself on the bed and immediately went into a deep slumber.

After few hours...

Rooh wake up from her deep slumber and found herself in an unfamiliar room then she remembered that she is is Russia and staying in Sasha's apartment. She sat up on her bed and immediately headache hit her hard.

Her head felt heavy and her surroundings circling around her. She was feeling so much dizzy like she had woken up after being unconscious.

She slowly stood up from the bed and got down on the floor with the support of headboard. She slowly walked towards the door and opened it. It was difficult for her to walk after feeling so weak and dizzy.

"Sasha." she whispered slowly but didn't saw her anywhere.

She came near the same couch in the living room and roamed her gaze here and there looking for her friend.

"Sasha!" she called out weakly again.

After getting no response she decided to look for her out of the apart and as soon as she reached the main door she heard some hushed voices from the other side of the window.

She halted at her place and decided to hear who's out of their apartment. She placed her ear on the door trying to eavesdrop the conversation going on out of the apartment.

"Why you all were standing there, you morons?!" suddenly Sasha's voice came and it was seeming like she was yelling at someone.

Rooh turned confused and bent down a little peeping through the key hole. She saw the same men who were drinking and smoking down when she came with Sasha and Sasha was also present there yelling at them.

"If she would have her scared from your ugly ads faces, she could have run back from here!" she seethed out.

The men were hearing her words silently like if she was their boss and they were her employees.

"Now listen! I have drugged her and the beauty is sleeping inside. But she can wake up anytime so I will give her the second dosage and you have to take her with you in the night." she ordered them mockingly.

Rooh stood frozen at her place. Did she heard right or her ears are ringing. She didn't believed what she just heard. Did she get trapped in the trap of some criminals? She started shaking with fear, now she knew why she is feeling so dizzy after having that water which Sasha offered her.

"Go find some rich men for her and ask them to keep a heavy amount ready for her. The beauty inside never get touched before and is single from the day she was born." Sasha commanded her men and they scurried away from there immediately.

Rooh panicked she can't let them know that they know about their plan. Sasha was ready to enter inside and twisted the doorknob making Rooh's mind go blank. She immediately latched on the couch and sat there at the next moment.

Sasha entered inside and got startled after finding Rooh sitting at the couch. Her face paled thinking what if Rooh saw him with those men? She cleared her throat and closed the, door behind her.

"You woke up!" Sasha exclaimed pretending to be two goody shoes girl.

"Yes just now." Rooh smiled at her slowly not wanting to make her suspicious.

"How are you feeling now?" Sasha asked faking her concern.

"I'm good now." Rooh told her making her nod at her.

"You slept almost the whole day and it's dinner time now. I have cooked food already let's have dinner." Sasha said happily.

Rooh panicked knowing why she want to have dinner because it's obvious she had already mixed something in it.
