Samantha is awakened by the sound of the doorbell. She looks around dazed and remembers that she is in Malik's father's house. A blanket is placed over her. Malik probably did that, Samantha thinks. Samantha begins to sit up and wonders where Malik is. Could that be his father ringing the bell? Of course not, why would his father ring the doorbell in his own house? Then who is it? A few seconds later, Samantha's question is answered. Malik enters the living room with another man behind him. Samantha looks startled at Malik and pulls the blanket tight around her. Maybe she really pushed Malik to his limits and now she's probably being raped and abused. Like...... ''No, no Samantha don't think like that, you're not like her and it's a different situation with another person. Malik may be an asshole but probably not a rapist," she tells herself. Even though she tries to calm down, the fear remains with her.
Malik sees Samantha is giving him a frightened look. He remembers the words that Samantha said earlier. That she thought he would give her to an old dirty man who would rape her. "Samantha it's okay, I'll make sure nothing happens to you. This is Rayan, he's a doctor, he's here to check out your foot." Rayan is 1,75 tall with brown hair and is thin looking. He walks up to Samantha and shakes her hand 'hey Samantha, nice to meet you. What Malik says is true, I am a doctor. I'm here to help you. Tell me exactly what happened." Samantha tells about her fall. "And now I'm here, with 2 men I don't know. In a fairly remote area, with no neighbors around." Samantha says with a slightly irritated tone. Rayan smiles at Malik. "She didn't fall on her mouth, did she?" "No far from it, maybe you can put some tape on her mouth. ' Malik replied with a sigh. ''I have another idea, I'll slap you again but this time hard enough to knock you unconscious. Then I take a the stitch bag from Rayan and stitch that mouth of yours." Rayan looks shocked at Samantha, nobody talks to Malik like that and is unharmed. Rayan looks from Samantha to Malik and is noticing that Samantha and Malik in the same room is like fire and gasoline and he isn't fund of getting burned by it. "Malik may I ask you to step out of the living room." Rayan asks very politely. "No you can't. I'm stay right where I am." Malik announces in a bossy tone. Samantha takes a deep breath. She also realizes the faster Rayan finishes her foot the sooner she can go home. Rayan begins to touch Samantha's foot which stings slightly. It is tolerable but it is not a pleasant feeling. "Samantha can you move your toes for me?" Samantha moves her toes very slightly. It hurts but not very much. Rayan then asks if she can turn her foot. Samantha turns her foot a little bit and feels a enormous pain in the foot, she closes her eyes and bites her lip very hard. Malik sees that Samantha is in pain and walks over to her. He decides to sit next to her and hold her hand. Samantha feels that Malik is holding her hand, the pain slowly begins to appease. "I'm pretty sure it's not broken. My only concern is the size of the swelling and the fact that it turns blue so quickly. Do you take blood thinners or something like that?" Rayan asks. ''no, but I do have ITP, that's an'' Rayan interrupts her''' an autoimmune disease, it's a very unknown condition. I'm a little familiar with it. It certainly explains the size of your swelling. How are your platelets lately?" "Quite OK, I've outgrown it but my platelets remain on the lower side compared to a normal person." says Samantha. "Good to hear, I suggest that I wrap your foot with bandages to prevent further swelling." Malik is surprised by what he hears about Samantha having a condition but he stays still. "What happened to your hand? Your knuckles are red," asks Rayan. Samantha starts laughing. 'I told you before. I hit Malik in the face." "Don't you see that red spot on his jaw, I did that." Samantha says proudly. Rayan looks at Malik, but he doesn't say anything about it. He's surprised Malik didn't do anything to Samantha.
"I have to go to my car to get some pressure bandages. I'll be right back." Samantha nods and Rayan walks away. Samantha looks at her hand, which is still in Malik's hand. She wants to pull her hand away but she won't. Samantha looks at Malik. '''so Rayan is he a friend of yours?'' ''sort of, he works for me.'' Samantha looks at him with raised eyebrows. "Why are you looking at my like that?" "Ooohw nothing, I don't see you working in healthcare. You're too uuuuuuhm you for it.'' Malik laughs at her answer.'' No I have a. A company and he works for it.'' What company needs a doctor thinks Samantha. ''Do you develop medication in your company? Is that why you need Rayan?" Malik looks at Samantha. "Kind of, let's just say having a doctor is handy sometimes." Samantha finds his answers vague. She actually wants to keep asking but Rayan comes in with a number of things. "Shall we begin?" Samantha nods and Rayan gets to work putting on the bandage. Once he's done, he grabs a pack of painkillers. "These are heavier painkillers that you can take with your ITP. It helps with the pain'' 'No thanks, I don't need them'' Samantha answers. Malik looks at her with twinkling eyes. Of course she doesn't want painkillers, she's a little fighter. He expects nothing else from Samantha either. She probably also mistrusts the pills that Rayan gives her. "Then my work here is done, if you want I can take you home." Rayan offers. Before Samantha can answer Malik quickly says 'no, not necessary, I'll take her home. You can go Rayan." Rayan nods "I hope to see you again Samantha, it was nice to meet you." Rayan walks away but Samantha yells after him a " thanks!" . "why are you nice to him?" Malik asks. "Because he's kind and nice." "And I'm not?" "You're arrogant, narcissistic, over-confident, bossy. Do you want me to continue? I could go on for hours,'' Samantha says, rolling her eyes. "If I'm all those things. Then why are you still holding my hand?" Samantha tries to pull her hand out of his grip but Malik doesn't let go. "You had the chance to pull your hand out earlier. You looked before but you didn't pull away." Samantha doesn't know what to say and decides to keep quiet. Malik bows his head towards Samantha. "nothing to say habibty?" He bends his head closer to Samantha's and looks at her lips. Samantha starts to breathe heavily and the words are stick in her mouth but nothing comes out. Malik brings his other hand to Samantha's face, he sees that there is a lock of hair in front of her face and puts it behind her ear. Samantha finds her voice again and reluctantly says "I have to go home."
