" W-what happen?" Noor asked with fear feeling the car was out of control.

Before Leo could answer her, a sudden push as if something behind them was deliberately colliding with their vehicle.

Noor jerked forward hurting her body due to the imapct but Leo caught her arms stabling her.

CRASH

Another loud crash against their car was heard and it was pushing the car towards the edge.

Noor's eyes widened seeing the edge of the road as their car was falling and soon darkness consumed her with a loud crash and soon the car blasted with a fire.

BOOM.

It was early in the morning at 3 'o'clock and the road Leonardo took was filled with police sirens and ambulance.

The night was cold but it did not affect anyone as the case was hot and sensitive.

" WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN YOU CAN'T FIND THEM! THEY ARE NOT DEAD!" Andrew screamed at the police officer who was trembling facing his wrath.

Andrew got a call that Leonardo's car got into an accident in the highway and they immediately went to the spot.

Fiona and Jack also arrived asking for the update but the police still could not find their body.

The car blasted in the forest and it was hard for the police searchers to search for Leonardo and Noor since it was still night and they believe both the victims are dead because no one could survive in such a blast.

" Andrew" Fiona glared at her son telling him to calm himself and Andrew walked away irritatedly .

" I am sorry about that officer. Please continue searching and report us" Fiona said as the officer in charge of the case nodded.

" How did the car fall off the edge" Maya asked with a frown the incident seemed strange for her.

The road was not narrow nor was it wide but it had fence bordering between the road and the dense forest .

" Why did Leo take this road? This is not the way to the hotel either" Michelle questioned when Andrew joined them looking frustrated.

" Some roads were blocked due to construction so Leo took this road. I don't think this shit is an accident" Andrew informed with rage burning in his eyes and his hand clenched into fists.

" It's a planned accident" Jack appeared holding a part of the car metal in his hand " I am going to fucking kill that fucker"

Andrew and the girls felt shiver ran down their back hearing his dangerous tone.

It's been a while they saw Jack this angry and the girls knew the reason why .

Noor.

Jack felt as if his world collapsed and felt a deep hollow in his body when he got to know Noor too was in the car with Leonardo.

As soon as he came to the scene, he joined the search party and was doing his work to find any clue and he noticed the break failure.

Rage would be an understatement describing him right now. He felt to kill that person who planned all this and if he has the power to revive he would revive him just to kill him again.

" He wanted war we will give him bloodshed."

A bright ray of sunlight warming the a sleeping face disturbed her sleep. She tried to move but a sudden ache visited her throughout and she burst open her eyes sensing the pain.

Noor looked at her wrapped hand and a frown appeared on her sleepy face "Why is my hand bandaged?"

Noor noticed she was sleeping outside on the ground surrounded by trees everywhere.

Noor tried to wake up as she hissed and she felt an intense pain from her abdomens than any other part.

The shirt she was wearing caught her attention. It was not the dress she wore to the function.

Remembering the function, the memory of the car accident flashed in her mind as she gasped
" the accident!"

Another strike of pain knocked in her body as she got excited and she groaned .

She slowly lifted the shirt a bit and saw that her body was also bandaged.

But who bandaged them?

She glanced at the shirt she was wearing. It was a black shirt and her dress was torn and used as the bandage on her but her scarf was still on her though it was a bit improper.

Before she could analyze what even is happening to her she heard footsteps and looked up to meet with a half naked man "AAAHHHH-!!!!"

Noor closed her eyes and threw whatever caught her hands at the person while the pain was also pressuring her.

" STOP IT!" The voice shouted startling her and the next second she felt a light grip on her bandaged hand.
" Stupid woman."

The bandage was soaked by her blood due to the excessive movements she just did and the pain was not helping her. Her eyes glistered due to the pain she was feeling.

Leonardo was gazing at the soaked bandage and he flicked his tongue in annoyance and worry " Tsk"

" Open the shirt" he ordered and Noor halted in her place hearing it. She took her hand back and felt a lingering sense of fear.

What is he going to do?

Leonardo was looking at her with an aloof face while holding a hard shell of a coconut .

Even though his face has bruises of injuries and cuts, he still was attractive and dominating.

" N-no" Noor wanted to move away from him but her back was already against the rock.

Leonardo did not listen to her and just reached the shirt to open it but Noor clenched on it with her trembling hands.

He looked at her doe-moist eyes that were in verge of tears and understood what she was thinking as he sighed
" You are wounded and need to be treated"

He showed the nut shell that contained some kind of herbal paste he made from the wild plants.

Noor looked at him again " I-I will do it myself"

Leonardo was silent for a moment before he nodded and passed the nut shell to her.

He doesn't want to start an ugly argument with her right now because she was heavily wounded and he knows she won't do it properly if she saw the wound.

Stupid woman.

Leonardo stood and turned away waiting for something. What is he waiting for?

" P-please don't turn" Noor requested. Though he is dangerous and unpredictable but she knows he keeps his words.

When Noor was sure Leonardo was facing away from her, she looked around to see if anyone else is there but seeing they are in a forest she doubt anyone is there.

She turned around facing the rock and slowly unbuttoned the shirt halfway from the bottom.

As the clothed bandage came to sight, the burning sensation from the wound made her hesitant to unwrap the bandage.

Bismillah. 

Steadily she unrolled the cloth, barely letting her hands near her body. She thought the wound would not be that bad and probably just a bruise but the lesion proved her wrong.

Noor groaned looking at the sight of her injury. Blue-purple mark was seen on the abrasion with fresh blood wetting the surface. 

Her skin was torn and she could see her wet blooded flesh. Seeing the gruesome sight she can't help but shiver.

The view was itself painful enough to not dare touch it and she has to apply the herbal paste.

Noor knows she won't be able to do it , fearing the pain.

She doesn't want to touch the wound nor was there someone to do it for her. Leonardo was out of the question!

Noor was in a dispute unknown what to do. She wrapped back the cloths around her wound and buttoned the shirt before turning around " U-um I don't need this. Thank you"

Leonardo turned and saw Noor trying to give back the nut shell back and he knows she did not apply it on her wound. 

" Unbutton your shirt" He instructed but Noor is not going to listen to him
" N-no, I really don't need it"

Leonardo knew this would happen so he walked to her and she looked at his height feeling intimidated and perturbed.

He squatted down in front of her not breaking the eye contact but Noor looked away from his gaze .

Noor was baffled. He looked all intimidating and dominant but the gaze he looked at her just now was soft and full of concern.

Why was he concern? Was it concern? Or did she just imagine it?

" I will do it" he uttered with a trustful voice indicating her to trust him he won't do anything but apply the paste but Noor can't do that.

She can't trust him.

To her he was always unpredictable and has been.

She wasn't sure what was going on, how the accident happened and how they are in this woods.

Not sooner something crawled in her mind and it ticked her " W-who changed my clothes?"

Silence.

Noor had a hunch but she did not want to listen to her brain " I don't see anyone else other than us two"

" But trust me I d-"

SLAP!

Noor looked at him with anger and disappointment. Anger would be an understatement. She was outraged.

" You HAVE NO RIGHT TO TOUCH ME!" She shouted and pushed him with force she had as Leo landed on the ground off-guarded.

Noor stood up with the help of the rock as she groaned biting on her lips feeling a heavy knock from her wound.

Aggh-!

She felt her body cold as if someone threw an iced bucket on her.

She has never shown her hair to anyone let alone her body!

And Noor was in disbelief that Leonardo changed her dress and saw her everything.

For the first time she felt really insecure with him.

A girl must protect and hide their body from any hungry lustful eyes of human being. It's her most prideful asset.

She can't believe he touched her without permission while she was unconscious !.

He has already touched her countless time without her permission and even kissed her! but this one, this was different! 

She was unconscious!

He saw her.... naked body.

"YOU KNEW YOU WEREN'T ALLOWED TO TOUCH ME! WHY DID YOU TOUCH ME!" Her brown orbs became wet of tears that were threatening to fall but she was in a fury to cry.

Leonardo understood she seemed to be misunderstanding something. 

Before Leonardo could say anything Noor beats him to it " I know y-you hate me but the l-least you c-could do was respect my aspects!."

Noor felt she had done something big and terrible. She felt her worth was nothing infront of him.

For him, was she that worthless?

Did he have to stain the self-esteem she had for herself? What damage did she even do to him?.

Her brimming tears fall as she hiked, sniffling her cries. Leonardo felt a pang in his chest of the situation that was happening.

He stood and tried to talk to her when she gasped intensely as a sudden pain visited her in her lower abdomen as if someone has jabbed her .

" Are you ok???" Leo asked worriedly with a frown but Noor stayed still analyzing what was happening in her body when she felt something leaking from her.

???? N-no way.

Leonardo was frustrated and wants to check on her but Noor was stubborn to brush off his help.

If he didn't have any feelings for her, he would just forcefully do it his way applying the herbal paste on her.

But he didn't want her to hate him even more when she was already angry and detest him for what he did.

But he also didn't want anything to happen to her again. Those few hours were like torture for him.

The moment he saw the bleeding sight of Noor after the car crashed he felt as if someone had choked him from breathing.

He doesn't know how but thankfully they were out from the car before the blast .

He too was badly injured and the wound on his chest was back to its state of how it first was. But he didn't mind his injuries.

He was thinking only one thing. Noor.

Even with the pain pounding through out his body he ignored it. Even with the dizziness he was pushing himself hard.

Fuck no no no please be ok. Please be ok!

When he found Noor and she was barely breathing he felt the ground beneath him was snatched.

He felt his throat tightened. Colors drained from his face as he looked at Noor with agape eyes. 

He slowly with trembling hands reached to her cheeks and tried to wake her up " N-noor"

His body was as if it slowly was going to freeze if he doesn't move. 

He was in a dilemma and had to do something. Leonardo leaned down on her chest hearing her heartbeat.

Noor's breath were shallow and heartbeat was still present but it was slowing down. 

He steeply started doing chest pushes on her till she gasped heavily for air but was was still unconscious. 

Leonardo felt as if he was brought back to life hearing her breath.

He heedlessly pulled her towards his body hugging her tight as if she was going to leave him.

Thank God!

Leonardo knew he has to move themselves from the area because it was untidy and it may deteriorate their wound.

He carried Noor in a bridal style and held her close to him. He could finally breath knowing she was going to live but he has to tend to her wounds.

It was becoming dawn so the place was dim by the morning sky.

He found a place with a riverbank and placed Noor against a huge rock. 

He collected the water from the river by a coconut shell he found and started to clean her wounds.

" I am sorry" he whispered and tear opened her dress to clean her inner injuries.

He cleaned her wounds and applied the herbal paste quickly as he doesn't want her to get sick.

With her torn clothes he wrapped her wound and made her wore his shirt.

Leonardo didn't even check her body out , too busy in taking care of her wounds and health.

And he knows she will be in rage if she knows he changed her dress.

Though his shirt was too big for her but he was pleased seeing her in his clothes.

She looked alluring in black.

Leonardo sat against the rock and made Noor sleep on his lap while covering her body with his coat to not catch any cold.

He caressed her cold cheeks as he looked at her with a soft expression on his face.

" Ah- Shit I am doomed" he whispered to himself but it was more like making him realize it.

The thing he loath the most and avoids at the end has always been following him .

He can't ignore it any further now. 

No matter if he wants it to be vanished he can't, because he doesn't want to. 

He doesn't want to let her go. 

Observing her silent face, Leonardo felt to laugh at himself. He can't believe he fall in love with someone that was not even close to his type and someone that was religious . 

Destiny is really something .

His thumb caressed her plump lips. Oh how he wish to feel those forbidden petals again.

He missed it's feeling.

Without much thought he cowers and gave a peck on her lips as he whispers something to her.

" Ahhn-!" Noor moaned in pain as she felt another rush of pain and clenched on her tummy to try easing from the pain.

Ya Allah-! Is it my period?!

She fall on her knees clenching her tummy feeling the vigorous pain from her mensuration and wound.

"What happen damn it!" Leonardo asked kneeling in front of her but Noor didn't want to talk because of the pain. 

" I-It's fine. I a- I am ok" Leonardo was confused on her words . Was she saying it to herself or him?

Noor took a couple of deep breath as if to control the pain, if it even was possible. 

He cupped her cheeks and made her look at his stern orbs. His frown indicating his worriedness for her .

" Don't test me and lay down" He said with his authoritative tone warning her to not deny him.

" P-please i-its wrong . I d-don't need it" She begged while struggling to be away from his touch.

Damn this woman is stubborn.

" I will do it without seeing your body" he sighed in defeat and Noor looked at him confused " I will do with my eyes closed"

Noor looked at him dumbfounded as if he said the dumbest thing in the whole world.

 Wai- It is the dumbest thing! But what can he do? now that he was trapped in the magic of Love.

It makes you say and do dumb things even when you know it.

" Wha- no no I s-said I do-" she did not complete her words seeing his warning gaze and feeling scared of the consequences. 

" Are you sure y-you can't see anything?" Noor asked for confirmation to Leo who was now blindfolded using her lehenga dupatta " Yes I can't"

She noticed that his bullet wound has started bleeding again; just when it was healing .

Noor unbuttoned her shirt full and unwrapped the bandage once again. 

Though she felt weird in front of someone even when they can't see her but she is outside for God's sake! 

She slowly laid down and held Leo's hand to guide him to her wound. 

He can't see and he doesn't know where the wound is so she has to guide him. But he knows how big the wound is.

Feeling the smooth surface he knew it was her bare skin he was touching. Noor felt tingles by his fingers.

Astagfirullah, he is just treating my wounds so its fine that he touched me right?

Leonardo slowly applied the herbal paste he was holding on her wound without much pressure and it ended as soon as it started.

He was sad because it ended as he wants to touch more of her but he was also glad or else he can't trust his body.

" It's done"

Noor got up slowly and wrapped the bandage completely secure so the paste does not spill and wore her shirt again. 

" You can unfold now" she informed and Leonardo obliged.

He can't believe a person has born to order him around and he doesnt a percentage was angry about it.

" Thank you" she said and Leo simply just nodded " Y-you should apply some again too."

Noor gestured at his bullet wound that was covered with dry herbal paste " Mm."

" We should start moving. There is no signal here" Leo informed but Noor doesn't want to move.

She was in her period for God's sake! And she isn't wearing any pads while the cramps are not helping in her sitiation either.

She felt sticky and uncomfortable with every rush of blood bleeding from her body " I c-can't".

"Why? Are you still hurt?" Leo asked scanning for any place she might be hurting but his shirt has covered her body well.

Noor felt shy and embarrassed to tell him she is on her period "N-no I- i-its-"

" I- I will stay and y-you can go " she assured but Leonardo was determined to not leave her for a second in this place that is unknown to her.

" Can you just say why aren't you coming? Is the wound burning?? Do you want to apply more paste??"

Leonardo was asking soo much question that it irritated her and he wanta to shout at him to make him shut up " I AM ON MY PERIOD!"

"........"

" Oh-"

A deep shade of red sprouted on both of their faces and Noor can't look at him in the eyes anymore while Leo caugh to avoid the awkwardness.

Kill me now oh God-! It's soo embarrassing >/~/<.

"Ok. You stay here. I will be back" He said before he left behind the blushing maiden.

But what did he meant he can't find signal??

Few minutes after walking far enough he thought while looking at his wrist that has a tracker " Will they get my location now?"

No one but Alec, Jack and Andrew knows there is a tracker inserted in Leo's body for situation like this.

But the tracker only works when there is a network signal or else it won't show his location.

He waited a few minutes and collected some wild fruits that are edible.

Leonardo has experience living in the wild with barely anything but nature.

He was trained to be able to survive in places that has no necessities whatsoever.

Being a Mafia is no easy job and you must be ready in any kind of situation and place. Be it desert or Ice land.

Once he found some fruits Noor could eat he returned back and found her waiting " W-where did you go?"

" Hungry?" He asked and gave her a bowel of wild fruits " It's edible"

Noor took the fruit and hesitantly ate it. To her surprise it was sweet.

"It's sweet."

Both sat down in silence and Noor bets her underwear is full of her period blood and the cramps were not leaving her.

Agh- it's uncomfortable-

" I am sorry to change your dress without your permission" Noor choked on the food hearing what Leonardo just said.

" Wh- *cough* what?" Noor coughed as if she heard wrong even Leo was also surprise hearing himself " I apologize for undressing you without your permission"

That was something Noor never expect to happen. She thought a person full of himself like Leonardo is so damn hard to make them apologize but he just did.

Noor looked at him observing his calm yet unreadable expression. Does he meant what he said?

" But I had to because you were bleeding" he added and Noor figured he was sincerely apologizing " It's ok."

They both sat in comfortable silence talking about the littlest thing that came to mind. 

It reminded Noor of the talk they had in the car before the accident.

" No way you did that!" she exclaimed with a chuckle after hearing what Leonardo has done to Fiona.

" Well she wasn't listening to me" he shrugged.

"Still! She is your elder !!" Noor complained in disbelief that Leonardo pranked Fiona by adding colors in every product of her skin care.

" She was blue for the whole week!" he said remembering the day he pranked her and he won't lie he got severely punished by standing upside down for the whole day.

Noor chuckled imagining what the outcome was while Leonardo looked at her laughing smile. 

It's the first time she was laughing with him. It's the first time she was showing him his smile.

She looked gorgeous and melodious.

 Leonardo was so lost admiring her merry expression that he did not notice the close proximity they have.

Noor became nervous noticing the close proximity and she looked away fidgeting brittlely.

Leonardo caressed her cheeks and sensing his touch Noor jerked away surprised as they are now looking into each other's eyes.

Brown against Black.

Light against Dark.

Warm against Cold.

Leonardo's gaze trailed from her warm orbs down to her tempting luscious lips while unknowingly leaning to her.

Noor was lost in his eyes that held so many mystery and puzzle no one has ever discovered to realize what was going on.

But before anything could happen they heard a sound of vehicles and honking of car.

Seeing the vehicle and their position, Noor pushed Leonardo from her and looked away as if nothing happened.

Astagfirullah! What were we doing!

The vehicle stopped and from it came out Michelle, Andrew, Jack and Maya.

" NOOR!!" Michelle called her out while running to her feeling so much relief that they were safe and alive.

" Thank God you are alive!" Michelle was going to hug her but Leonardo stopped his cousin
" she is injured still"

"Oh- okay" she mumbled and Noor pulled her close as she whispered something to her " Oh umm.... I don't think Maya has it"

" Fuck I knew you guys were alive! Those police shit were useless!" Andrew complained as he hugged his cousin and was happy to see him again.

Jack went straight to Noor and bend to her height while cupping her cheeks " Are you okay princess?"

" I-I am ok" she replied meekly feeling shy by his touching care and words.

Michelle wants to tease her but she dropped the idea seeing her condition. 

Jack without any further thought just hugged her but not tight enough just enough to assure him that she was really fine " God- I was so worried"

Michelle was looking at the couple infront with awe and prayed for their happiness together.

Future is something unpredictable no one has control over it except God.

Just like Love.

It happens unexpectedly to someone you never thought will be.

Michelle left to give some space for the couple because she knows how shy Noor is at PDA.

Her merry expression slowly changed into a confusion with a frown seeing her cousin near her blubbering brother .

Why is he glaring ..... angrily?
