NOTHING TO FEED HER

Synthia’s P.O.V. It was being 6 long years since Anaira went missing. I had lost my all hopes of seeing her again. I made up my mind that somehow she was dead and I couldn’t see her for rest of my life. I was trembling badly. She was alive. Anaira…. My princess…. My soul…. She was alive…. Tears were floating down like a fall through my eyes. I was not able to utter a single word. “Mom… Mom??”, Alex worried voice pulled out me from my trance. “Huh??”, I just utter a single word as no word was passing through my tongue. “Mom.. what happened… are you okay?”, I heard his worried voice again. “I am okay… I am okay Alex… did you …did you see her”, I asked him in a choked voice.   He sighed. Why did he sad? Fear filled my heart…. What if she… No…. no.. it couldn’t be now… she must be alive… “She is alive… this is all I can say Mom”, He said in a broken voice. “What do you mean by this Alex… please tell me clearly”, I pleaded with him. I was desperate to hear that she was very must alive and okay. “Mom… listen to me carefully… I only can trust you… I found her in a very very bad state.”, He was going to say something more when I cut him off, “Then why didn’t you bring her here yet?”, I yelled in a desperate tone. He sighed heavily. There was a pin drop silent for few seconds. “Mom… for Anaira’s sake.. please listen to me once”, he requested me in a desperate tone. “Okay”, I just managed to say this word. “Anaira is unconscious and had so many injuries on her bodies.”, I shivered from the mere thought of my baby hurt. Tears started rolling down again. “Something is really wrong here Mom…. It seemed that someone kidnapped her and kept her captive all those years”, he paused and took a long breath. “We have a daughter Mom…”, he said and phone slipped from my hands to the bed. I quickly grabbed the phone again and held it against my ear too closely. “What did you say Alex?”, I asked in disbelief. “Yes mom… we have a daughter too…. I just rescued her … she is too struggling for her life mom”, he said and it seemed that he was on the verge of breaking down. I put the other hand on my mouth to sob aloud. It would worry him more. I tried to restrain my sobs but I failed. “Cry mom if you want. I won’t stop you today”, he said and I broke. For few good minutes I cried aloud for my princess and my precious gem who I haven’t met yet. Still she is my blood… my grand daughter. I was a doctor and my grand daughter is struggling for her life with no support .   “Mom… we don’t have much time. You need to get out from the home right now without anyone noticed.”, he said and I confused. “Bring you medical box with you. I am texting you a number. As soon as you come at a safe distance just call this number and you will get the address where to reach”, he said and I said ok. Then I received the message with a number but from an unknown number. There was no time to think about all possible scenarios, so I quickly changed my dress, picked out my medical box from the cupboard and then sneaked out from the house like a thief. My heart was pondering in my chest as if I was really a thief. As soon as I came out from a safe distance to be noticed by the Mansion’s security guards, I ran towards the opposite direction. I was in my mid fifties but as I was health conscious, I was in a good health and I used to run everyday. So, I ran like I was competing with some unknown racers. It was almost dawn and I got the cab easily on the street. I slid inside the cab and called to that number.   Alex’s P.O.V.   My daughter was lying unconscious in my embrace. Her body was now warm but my heart had become numb. My mind was blank. Since Anaira disappeared, I searched her every inch of world for her. Sometimes I blamed her for her betrayal and asked her why did she leave me? What went wrong in my love? But never did the thought of her being kidnapped occurred in my mind just because of that stupid letter in which she had written that she loved someone else and she wanted to spend rest of her life with her. I ran my fingers through my hairs. I was holding my daughter in my embrace all the time. Ryan brought some clothes for me to prevent to wear wet clothes all the time. The clothes were little bit loose but I thanked him. He kept all the things secret and thought about well wishes of family. Suddenly, I felt some movement in my daughter’s body. She was shivering. She was having nightmare again. “No Mom.. please don’t leave… Mom”, she was struggling for getting out of my hold. She was too weak to speak normally. All words were jumbled but still I could hear them. I gently held her firmly and started rubbing her back again. “Mummy is not going anywhere princess….. mummy is not going…”, I tried to comfort her and after few minutes of struggle she calmed down. She was exhausted. She was malnourished.  So many bruises and injuries marked were visible on her fragile body. My whole shuddered from rage at the mere thought of someone hurting her. “Sir…”, Ryan called me who was sitting at the passenger seat. “Yeah”, I asked. He handed me a milk bottle. I looked towards him in confusion. “Try to feed her Sir. I brought this for her in case if she is hungry”, he tried to explain himself. I was really grateful to him for being so thoughtful. “Thanks Ryan. You all are truly a good soul.”, I tried to show my gratitude towards them. He passed a small smile to me. I took the bottle but hesitated to bring towards her. I didn’t have any clue how to feed a child. James who was sitting at the back seat was looking towards me. “Sir”, he called me and I looked towards him. He showed me by action of his hand how to handle the bottle towards her mouth. I nodded and followed his lead. She didn’t open her mouth first. I looked towards him again. “Hold her head gently and then press the bottle tip gently on her lips”, he instructed me and I did what he said. This time it worked. She grabbed the bottle tip after few attempts and then started sucking in hurry while still in her sleep. My eyes got teary again. She was so hungry. Within a few minutes, she finished the whole bottle but didn’t left the tip as she was trying hard to get the another sip. Somehow I managed to remove the bottle from her mouth and she sobbed. My heart skipped a beat. She was very hungry. Her mouth was still in search of something to grab. I held her against my chest again. I had nothing to feet her now. “Sir”, after few minutes Ryan called me again. I looked towards him. “Ma’am has reached the home. She fainted when she the Anaira Ma’am. My wife is taking care of her”, he told me and I sighed. I assumed that it could be happened.
