Chapter 53 - Don't Go

She said "No.no, no granny. Don't go.D....don't leave me. Don't leave me alone. Granny....granny....."

James Thomson woke up to hear Nina Anderson's voice. He opened his eyes and looked at the woman sleeping in the bed. He got up and reached near her. Her body was drenched in sweat.

"Grandma, I ...I will take you to a good hospital. Pl.....please d...don't leave me."Nina Anderson uttered in a painful voice. James Thomson sat down near her and caressed her hairs. She looked as if she was in pain.

"Nina,...Nina.Wake up...Nina.."He shook gently to wake her. But Nina was uttering something non -stop. He tried to hear what she was speaking, but he could not understand anything.

"Nina. Can you hear me? Please wake up."James Thomson called her in a worried voice. She opened her eyes slowly and looked at James Thomson .

"How can she leave me behind?I....I    have no one accept her."She uttered with tearful eyes.

"I.....I should have died in her place. But she ...she left me here alone."She added.

James Thomson said nothing. He was looking at her with wide eyes.

"W...water.I ...I need water."She muttered and got up.

"You stay here. I am bringing water for you."James Thomson stopped her and said. He got up and pour a glass of water from the jug and handed her the glass. She accepted the glass and gulped down the water in one go.

"My Granny died. She left me alone in this world."Nina Anderson said in a low voice.

"So, at last, you remembered everything!"James Thomson said in a thoughtful tone. Nina Anderson looked at him in surprise. She did not realize that she was speaking about her grandma, who she forgot. She closed her eyes and tried to think. James Thomson was looking at her without uttering a word.

"Mr. Thomson, I ....I remembered everything."Nina Anderson announced. James Thomson felt like his heart missed a beat. He was feeling like he is going to lose something important. He looked at her worriedly.

"Yes ,I am Nian Anderson. I worked as a manager in the high cloud Enterprise. I...I lived in an apartment in the city R." She said in a thoughtful tone.

"How did you come here? Have you remembered?"

"Yes. I remembered."She uttered. Yes, she remembered everything that happened to her on the day of her kidnapping and also everything that happened to her all those years.

Nina Anderson was very happy that day, as she had a date with Harry Jian. She had to meet him near a river bridge.

"Yes, yes. I will be there in time. Don't worry. I am also waiting for this day for a long time. I can not be late."She said to Harry Jian, as she received his call in the morning.

"Ok.Darling.A big surprise is waiting for you here. So, don't dare to break the promise."Harry Jian said in a worried tone.

"I already told you that I would not dare. Now let me get ready, otherwise, I would be really late."Nina Anderson said and hung up the call. She left home at around ten am to meet Harry Jian. When she left the bylane and reached the main road, she saw a taxi was waiting there.

"Miss, do you need a taxi?"The taxi driver asked her with a smile.

"Yes."She replied and get in the taxi.

"Please go to the Berrik River bridge."She said the taxi driver and send a text to Harry Jian.

'I got a taxi. Will reach the bridge, after one and half an hour. Be ready with your surprise. I am looking forward to it.'She smiled to her herself as she read the reply she got.

'I can't wait for more. Please tell the taxi driver to attach wings to his taxi, so you would fly here swiftly.'

"Miss, are you going on a date? You seemed very happy."Nina Anderson came back to the present. She looked at the driver, who was looking at her through the rearview mirror. She smiled at the driver.

"Yes. I am. So, please reach me there as soon as possible."She replied.

"Of course Miss. I will reach you to your destination as soon as possible."The taxi driver replied.

Nina Anderson heard he mobile beep once for text notification. She opened the message. It was from her best friend Lucy Lim.

'All the best my friend. Hope you will enjoy the day.'She smiled and replied to the text.

'Thank you, dear.'

As she was busy with her mobile, she did not notice that the taxi driver was left the main road and entered a bylane. When she looked out through the car window, she shocked.

"Hello, sir, why are you taking this bylane, instead of the main road?"She asked in a confused tone.

"Miss, I am taking the shortcut. Did not you tell me that you want to reach there as soon as possible?"

"Yes. But I did not tell you to take shortcuts. This....this bylane seems a little bit strange. Please take a turn. It does not matter that I reach there a little bit late. I don't think it is the right way to reach there."The taxi driver smirked to hear her.

"Miss, you are too naive. What do you think? Are you thinking that I am taking you to your lover? No, Miss, my destination is different from you. That's why the route I am using is also different. Now sit down quietly. Otherwise, I will shoot you."The taxi driver said and pull out a gun from the box kept in the taxi. Nina Anderson shocked to hear him. She had heard a lot of kidnapping cases those days, but now she was experiencing that herself. She hurriedly opened her purse and pull out the mobile.

"Hand me the mobile. Don't dare to call or text anyone."The taxi driver said in a stern voice. He was looking at her through the rearview mirror. She nodded and handed her mobile to the man with her shaking hands.

"Why are you doing this to me? What have I done wrong to you? Please let me go."Nina Anderson said in a worried tone.

"You will know everything once we reach our destination. Now don't disturb me. I have not got much time."

Nina Anderson did not utter a word.She thought something and pull out the scarf she was wearing and as she about to attack the taxi driver, but he was quicker than her. He hit on her head and she fell down on the car seat. The man stopped the car engine and opened a door near her and tied her hands. He pulled out a syringe and pushed something into her body. After that Nian Anderson could not remember anything.

When she got back her senses, she found herself in a dark room. She was lying down on the cold floor of the room. She looked around, but could not see anything. Suddenly she felt someone's touch on her shoulder. She startled and about to cry out loud, but the person signaled her to keep quiet.

"Who are you."The person sitting next to her asked in a low voice.

"I am Nina Anderson. Who are you?"She asked.

"I am Fenny. Have they abducted you too? It must be. Otherwise, you would not be here. They kidnapped me three days ago."The girl said. Nina Anderson looked at the girl. The girl was about fifteen years old. Now she could adjust herself to the darkness. The girl was about fifteen years old.

"Oh, is it? Who are they? Why they abducted us?"

"They are from a human trafficking gang."The girl replied.

Nina Anderson shocked to hear her.

'A human trafficking gang!Oh My God! Why am I here ?'She thought.

"Are there any other people here they had kidnapped?"

"Yes. There are more than fifty girls they have kept here. I heard they supply the girls to the gangsters. I am here for three days already. So I think it will be my turn very soon.I....I am scared.I don't know what are they going to do with me.But......but I know they are not going to do anything good to me.I...I can not let them take my virginity.I ...I will kill myself if they would try to do something to me.I...I can not let this happen.I.....I am alone here. The people here are monsters.I......I saw how they raped a girl yesterday.My......my parents must be too worried for me.My....my sister .....I .....I can not think more."The girl said in a cry- like tone. Nina Anderson kept her hand on the girl's shoulder.

"Don't worry. We will find some way. Now you are not alone.I am here with you."She said in a bold tone.
