C17 Run for Life

He wishes he could do more than talk. He wants Anne. He never felt this after so long. He never finds someone special after his ex cheated on him with his ex-best friend not until Anne appeared in his life. He thought she would like him even a bit. But yeah, maybe one day. The approachable was made because of that day when Khairi told him she made a confession that she like him so Khairi immediately told him to tell her what he felt. He thought it was the right time for Ariif to confess and let him reply in lieu. Khairi should reply back and told her the truth but his judgemental trait made him think that Anne was not his type because she was cold and cocky. He then told him to use his account to reply as he did not have his own Instagram. But the latter rejected him at first. Yet do it nonetheless.

He felt bad as she thought he was Khairi. It made him nervous thus he postpone the confession. He had to stop replying to her direct message to make her forget about it. And did that for months. He bet she already has moved on after months he did not reply also does not want her to hate him more than she already did though he did not know why it was fun teasing her just now. His face actually was kind of innocent although he has the bad boy vibe at times.

He likes her since he saw her on Instagram which was 8 years ago when his friend was scrolling in the explore. He never got a chance to meet her till he coincidentally saw her location on her latest post early this year. He studied Chemical Engineering in the same university as her but rarely saw her. Their faculty were a tad far yet since that day as well he would go to her faculty nearly every week to see her in many glances but she was oblivious. But one day, he sensed a sixth sense thing was around her faculty at 7 o’clock(He knew she went to the class early so he decided to catch a glimpse of her). The thing was far but he did not feel good about it as something terrible will happen.

He was intrigued with it and tried finding any clue or hint as to where it was located yet he lost. He almost tripped as he paced without knowing where he went though it was close. He could feel it. He looked at his left and right but found no one. Why does Anne always come to the class early? He thought as it was odd. Too early though. He glanced above on the fourth floor and saw a man and a woman were talking. His heart started beating faster. He did not know why. He carried on searching one more time but found nothing. The sixth sense feeling was gone when he looked at the two people. "Are they jinn? Or maybe one of them? But why suddenly it's gone?" He queried himself. The woman actually was Anne but he did not see her face as she showed her back. He could only see the man and somehow he looked like him. Are we twins? He thought. Weird. He then regarded it, looking at his watch and it showed fifteen past seven. He raced to his car as soon as possible as it took 20 minutes far to his faculty. Don't wanna be late for the class.

Later in the evening, he was free and did not have class so he went to the cafeteria near Anne’s faculty. As he was sitting, he saw her walking to the cafe alone as well in another direction. He took the chance to stare at her in secret but after she reached, he unbelievably saw an entity behind her as it followed her. It was shocking. He wondered why and his speciality too did not work like usual. He could not get the goosebumps(sixth sense) he felt earlier in the morning. He knew she was nice to everyone but what the entity wants with her?

The next week, he heard her talk about going to Japan but he did not know why it made him feel uneasy. He had to follow her friends and her to the cinema and everywhere they went then the seven eleven incident where he wants to tell her something but she did not want to as well as at her house where he warned her. He wants to tell her the reason but heard a car sound in front of her house and could not tell her yet as he does not want to scare her. He just got a bad feeling about the trip. The strange encounter ever but he had to divulge himself because of the entity and the Japan trip.

Back to the present, he felt comfortable when she was near him and somewhat amused when she fight back and stomped his feet. He likes feisty women like her albeit she is a tomboy, charming and intimidating. Everything about her is intriguing. He is quite a hot temper but did not how she could win against it plus his birthday is near with her’s just 3 days early. He blinks thrice shaking the thoughts off his psyche. “What the??? Why do I waste my time thinking about that?” He asks himself while shaking his head. "Where is she? I can't let her alone when they are still looking for her. Where is she?" He questions as he worried about her. He begins racing while calling and eyeing his surroundings but did not find her. Please, please. Felt breathless yet he was already halfway to where she was heading.

He halts after seeing a familiar woman running to the parking lot. "Wait, Anne! Wait!" He calls and waves his hand but the latter ignores him. Her pace becomes faster. Oh, please not this. Not now. God. He sighs. “Argh! Why sh- oh, you think you can leave me easily? No way when people like them are still alive” He races to her getting at the same speed virtually reaching her car. She grunts as she had enough of his teasing. Howbeit, he abruptly pulls her shirt to get her alongside him. "What do you want??!” She spits as he irritates her. Everything he does makes her annoyed. Always. Even when he is not in front of her. Just. Every. Single. Time. What a nuisance.

“Gimme your key,” He said and raise his hand making a 'Your key woman. Quick' gesture.

“Why would I??!” She barks not knowing he was serious too.

“Die or live? Now!” He warns her but she is sceptical. He needs to tell her a reason. A valid one. She has trust issues though spesh with him. This is not going anywhere if he did not tell her what he knew as she could sense he knew something she does not. He instantly moves towards her scaring the h*ell out of her. The move was as fast as lightning and she did not know this was coming.

“Wh-what are you doing? He-” He caught her off guard and yet made her stutter as he closed the space between them till her back touched the door. "S-stop! What are you doing??! Ariif!" Her peepers are broad as he continues hovering and traping her between his arms. It is difficult for her to huff and puff as well as swallow the saliva.

“Say anything you want, exquisite. I don't care. If you didn’t give me then we’ll die together with those morons. Also, I can join them though. I know what they want from you” He winks and smirks as he needs the key albeit he knew she will not back off easily. ‘I have to get the key in her bag real fast. Sorry, Anne. What I'm gonna do after this will trigger you still more. I had and I have to’ He thought. He has to do something as they would appear anytime.

“This is haram! Ariif! Let me go! N-” He forcibly hugs her with his left hand and the right hand silently do the sneaky job to get the key. Meanwhile, his eyes attentively stare at her in an intoxicating way. Everything on her mug is wonderful and pleasant. He can not move his eyes somewhere else. This is so good. She's irresistible. No words could describe what he feels now. She hit his chest and pushes him several times but the more she did them, the tighter the hug will be.

“I’ll grant your wish. You want a kiss, right? Pick one. Cheek, forehead or...” He playfully teases while raking inside her bag as she remains unaware. She attempts to stomp on his shoe but seems like he knew what is on her mind. He travels his peepers to her lips as he almost gets the key. The latter averts her peepers grimacing and hardly gulping the lump on her throat.

“Yes! I got it!” He whispers. Immediately he breaks the hug and looks at the car while pushing the unlock button. On the other hand, Anne is surprised and gaping a little as she sees the three perverts being upright on the corner of the parking lot as they appear out of nowhere. She is inarticulate. He feels bizarre as she did not move an inch and thought that she might change her psyche. 'She doesn't wanna leave now? What the? She scolded me earlier and now what? I don't understand you, woman'

“What now, exquisite?” He asks but she did not answer. "Don't you hear me?" He finally spins to get the answer and looks at where her eyes show. He sees it as well. “Sh*t! Now, Anne! Go! Go!” He yelps. Promptly he hops in and locks the door after she enters then starts the engine. “C’mon! C’mon!” He says while praying they could escape.

“Ya Allah! They’re near! Please, my sayang(love). I need you” She anxiously supplicates while stroking the dashboard as the engine did not move. The pervert morons reach the car and straightly bang the door and windows in madness. “Open the door you son of a b*tch!” “Open it before I smash your car! If you don’t want us to r*pe you, open the d*mn door sl*t!” “Yes! Hahaha! I could open the back door! Go! Get her!”
