Thanks for all your wishes in the last part.
I don’t know if you all will like this part since there are no Shivika scene and I realised it’s lot easier to write Shivika scenes than when they are apart!! This part has been really difficult to write but I assure you all to come up with better parts further!! Thanks for bearing with me… 🙂
Recap- Anika leaves the Oberoi mansion stating that it was all a plan. Shivaye later finds a letter by Anika in his room in which he realised what Anika meant and that she did not want to but had to leave the mansion.
“Wow!Anika I hate to admit it but you were awesome…
I can’t believe Shivay still felt you were lying”
“…because I WAS lying”
Anika snapped back at Daksh.
“Trust me Anika, soon Shivay will accept it. He’ll start believing this lie…”
“…but he’ll never stop believing the truth in our bond” Daksh started raging.
He brought the car to a sudden stop.
“What are doing Daksh? Have you lost it?”
He pulled her hair bringing his lips close to her ears…
“You are the one who’s lost it.I think you do remember that I almost killed you once?I don’t mind doing it again.Don’t forget that you are sitting right next to me in my car.So stop worshipping Shivay. One more word and I’ll make sure that it becomes your last word.”
Saying that he left her hair with a jerk.She gave a cry of pain.She had many answers but she knew she had to stay alive for Shivay, for herself,for their newly accepted relation.She sat quitely for the rest of the journey and rather focused on the road and tried to guess where he’s taking her.
They finally reached.
She was expecting any old mill or closed factory suitable to keep hostages, but what her eyes witnessed was not even the last thing she would have thought of…she turned towards Daksh who was already smiling at Anika,seeing her surprise.
“Exactly the reason. Nobody will expect.” Daksh felt proud saying that.
Anika turned back to the place and immediately knew he was right. Nobody will be expecting Daksh to keep me in a 5-star hotel. Still she knew it’s a foolish decision. After Shivay’s decleration to the media people will know who I am. It’s too risky for Daksh.
“Do not try to act smart once we go inside or else…”
“Or else you’ll kill me infront of so many people?” Anika found too much confidence in her voice, more than she was actually feeling inside.
Daksh gave her a bitter smile at that “No. I’ll do something which you don’t want me to do. The reason for which you left Oberoi mansion and are here with me today.”
No matter how hard she tried to keep herself calm, Daksh’s words were too provocative,”Once you do it I’ll have nothing to be scared of you. Once the secret is out nothing can keep me away from him. How long do you think you can blackmail me with this?”
Daksh laughed at her and Anika immediately realised her mistake. She should have kept her calm it’s useless to argue with him. The more challenging words she’ll say the more he’ll be instigated.
“How long do you think you’ll be alive Anika? After all that you’ve done you really think I’ll let you live long?” He stopped laughing and got serious again
“Now. You’ll be a good girl and won’t say a word once we are inside until and unless I ask you to… be careful. No tricks.”
—————————
Shivaye dialed a no. and a man’s voice came up from the other side of the phone.
“Come to my house. Right now. I need to talk to you.”
He hung up the phone and walked out of the room.
Priyanka was combing her hair when Shivaye stormed into her room along with Om and Rudra.
“Bade bhaiyya? Any news about bhabhi?”
“Prinku I need to talk to you… I’ll be lodging a complain against Daksh, I’ve called Ranveer too.”
He paused to frame his words. “I need Ranveer for a reason…”
ShivOmRu explained exactly why and what they’ll want Ranveer to do. Prinku nodded in acceptance.
“But bhaiyya why are you saying this to me? Do you want me to talk to him? I don’t think he’ll….”
“No. I’ll talk to him. I wanted to ask you something Prinku. I know this marriage is important to you, but is it equally important to him? He’ll need a strong reason to go against his own mamu and work for us.If I threaten him that I’ll call off this marriageb if he doesn’t do what I say, will it work?”
He walked towards Priyanka and kept his hand on her shoulder to continue “… because if it doesn’t work Prinku then…” finishing the sentence was not needed. Prianka knew exactly what Shivaye meant. The marriage will break, and if it breaks her pregnancy will become an issue. She felt guilty, she badly wanted to tell Shivaye that she’s not pregnant and that he can take the risk without any fear. But then, she kept aside her feelings and thought about the matter in hand. The marriage was important for Ranveer.
“Yes bhaiyya. It’s very important for him. It’ll work”
She did not allow herself to think much for she was afraid of having second thoughts…
“Prinku there’s no force. The decision is yours.Are you sure? I know other ways to create pressure on him.I can call up his superiors and… but it’ll take some time.” His voice dimmed. “And we don’t have time bhaiyya. I’m sure. Don’t worry and go for it.” Priyanka’s assurance lightened Shivay’s mood.
Soon Ranveer showed up and all the three brothers ganged up to talk to him. He understood from there faces that the matter,whatever it is,is deadly serious.”ACP, I want you to help us with something and let me tell you,if you don’t… your marriage is in danger”
Ranveer could not make head or tail of Shivay’s words but all he knew was they were not joking.They seriously needed help with something. Something that is big enough to make them stake their sister’s marriage.
Seeing his puzzled look Omkara exclaimed with an absolute poker face “Anika bhabi has been kidnapped.”
“What? How? When”
“We’ll tell you everything” said Rudra.Shivay continued “only if you help us with the case or else…”
“Keep your threatenings with you sir.”
Damn.It did not work!! Priyanka’s thoughts immediately started seeking Shivay until Ranveer spoke again “I don’t need any threatenings to take over this case. I’ll do it anyway. I’m first a police officer and then anything else. Give me all the details. Fast.”
“It’s not that simple ACP”
——————————————
“How can I help you sir?
Daksh smiled at the receptionist “Mr. and Mrs. Thakkar. Room 407?”
She went through her records…”Yes sir. Your room is ready. Here are your keys. Please sign over here” Daksh kept his smile throughtout and signed the records,took the keys and pulled Anika to leave but the receptionist stopped them “Excuse me ma’am?”
Both of there heartbeats rose. Anika’s chain of thoughts started… has she recognised me or Is she doubting us?
They both turned together.
“You need to sign too ma’am”
Daksh seemed to have held his breath till then “Why? I’m paying the bill. Why do you need her signature?”
“Sorry sir but this is the rule. If a problem rises and you are not available ma’am will be responsible to handle and face the matter. So we need her signature too.”
“Sweetheart do as she says”
Anika took the cue. Her hopes had already crushed down of being recongnised!
She signed and returned the register.
The receptionist checked their signs.She looked up and nodded with a smile to Anika.
The first thing Daksh did while entering the room was, put up the DO NOT DISTURB mark in the door handle. He did not want anybody to come there.
Anika was trying hard to hide the fact how scared she was.She was there in the same room with Daksh and had no idea what he’s gonna do next.
She watched Daksh walking past the room to open the window.He looked down the window and nodded in approval.He turned towards Anika and signed her to come there.
—————————————
ACP frowned and said “The sad part is we have no idea where she is being kept.” OmRu nodded to that.
Shivaye’s phone rang. He picked it up “Yes speaking.” His features stiffened which was followed by a glow in his eyes… when he hung up, three pairs of eyes were fixed on him.
“I think we do have an idea about where she is.
Hotel Gulmohar”
“Hotel??” Three of them asked in unison out of shock.
————————————-
Standing beside Daksh,while looking down the window, Anika realised that since there room is in the ground floor the land is only a few feet from there window. The hotel and the outer world was separeted by a wired wall which created a narrow lane out of there window. She looked at Daksh not knowing what else she was supposed to do.He held her hand and within minutes…
They were out of there room.
Staying in the same room with him was disturbing but now creeping out of the window and to be out of the populated enviroment of the hotel,disturbed Anika more.Walking down the narrow lane she realised Daksh was taking her to the backside of the hotel.
Soon they were standing in the remote backside of the hotel. She could see cars at a distance and she half expected Daksh to ask her to turn that way, but something else happened. She felt an acute pain at the back of her head. Something had hit her. The last thing she saw was Daksh smiling.
After that everything turned to blackness…
——————————————
ShivOmRu along with ACP and a few police officers reached ‘Hotel Gulmohar’.
As soon as they entered the lobby the receptionist called out “Mr. Oberoi?”
Shivay ran to her “Are you sure it was Anika?”
She pull out her register to show the records “Sir, a man and a lady arrived while signing in the register this is what she wrote…”
Shivay read it ‘Help.In Danger.Call Shivay Singh Oberoi.’
“… sir the man along with her looked already fishy. He became very defensive when I asked the lady to sign. So I checked with the manager. He recognised your wife and asked me to calll you so…”
“Room no.?”
Shivay did not have time for explanations…
“407. I’ve put a guard outside their room so that they can’t leave the hotel but they have not even been out of their room.”
They were already stroding down the corridor… Shivay was about to call out for “Anika” when ACP stopped him “Don’t alert him” … They broke the room’s door not expecting Daksh to open it if they knock anyway.
The room was empty!!!
Precap- Coming to conciousness, Anika finds herself tied up and hears a female voice.
