Arnav glanced at his mobile phone as it vibrated with Khushi's bodygaurd's number. Frowning he excused from the meeting and came out of conference room to take the call.

He had not even had the chance to speak a word when his bodygaurd's anxious voice reached stopping him cold "Sir, Khushi mam is not here. We waited for her for few minutes but when she did not come out I went inside and looked for her. I even asked the student's around. No seems to know. I then checked with the staffs, one of her professors said she went out in the middle of the class excusing she was not feeling well. I cannot find her here."

Arnav could not breathe, Aman came out of the conference room to see what taking Arnav so long, seeing the state he was in he rushed to him concerned "Arnav, what is it?"

Seeing him shaken to the core, not able to reply to his question he looked at the phone in his hand, bodygaurd's voice from other side could be heard calling for Arnav. Taking the mobile from his hand he listened to what the BG is saying. Shaken himself he looked at Arnav standing like stone, ordering the BG to check the whole campus thoroughly once more he cut the call.

Holding Arnav's shoulder, he shakes him calling "Arnav, look at me"

Arnav gulping choked "Khushi...."

Aman "Nothing happened to her. They are checking again."

Arnav "But...."

Aman "Get yourself together. Did you forget, Khushi has tracking device on her?"

Arnav inhaled sharply forgetting about it. Yes he had gifted her a chain after coming to know about Jasmine. The pendant in the chain has tracking device he had put for her safety. Not wanting to take a chance. He had made her promise to never take it. Even a tracking device is put inside her bag. Is that not why two personal body guard was appointed for her. But the guard were allowed only in the campus ground and not inside the building. He should have forced the issue with the management. Now because of his carelessness his Khushi might be in danger.

Aman "Check it. I'll take care of the client's and meet you."

Arnav nodding his head ran to his cabin, a software is installed on his laptop so he could monitor the location and whereabouts of Khushi. In few second's he had knowledge of her.

Aman entered his cabin minutes later "I informed the client you got family emergency and needed to leave. They understood and agreed to re-schedule the meeting."

Taking deep breathe he asked "So did you get to know where is Khushi?"

Frowning Arnav said "she is moving, and traveling out of Delhi" at the same time he got a call from his bodygaurd who informed Khushi's phone and bag were lying on the back garden of the college. And also informed there was a message from Krishna from unknown number.

Arnav's temper started rising, he had the hunch Khushi's missing is related to Jasmine/Krishna. Arnav "She is being taken Aman. And we need to leave asap. Call commissioner."

Ten minute's later, Arnav's car drove away from the office, Aman kept his Arnav's mobile tracking Khushi's movement [afte installing the software in it]. Aman "I think they have stopped. From few minute's there is no movement." he said the location to Arnav, and the route. At the same time they informed to police too. His own bodygaurd's were following behind in another car.

[Note: I'm not aware much about how it works'. Any advice is appreciable.]

Outskirt's of Delhi,

Khushi is still cold due to the drug, Bhushan looked at her evilly "Jasmine was right when she said you are really beautiful. Tsk, your husband should never have touched Jasmine. Because of him my Jasmine is suffering inside the jail. If you are in pain, he will be in ten time worse."

He poured bucket of water on her, Khushi gasped as she came awake, sputtering the water, blinking her eyes, she tried to focus on her surrounding. Still being held in the affect of drugs she felt weak like baby.

Bhushan held her chin harshly making her cry out in pain as he shouted "Look at me Princess" Khushi looked at him, scared at the stranger before her.

She gulped, her throat going dry "who?...who are you?" she took in her surrounding, she is inside some dilapidated hut "where am I?"

Bhushan turned her to face him "Where are you? In your new palace. Who am I? you should not concern yourself with it. Bas just understand this, you are accounting for what your husband did?"

Khushi "Arnav ji." her eyes started filling, this man is really looking scary to her. And he is hurting her. Khushi "I want to go to my Arnav ji"

Bhushan "So soon? *he pouted faking sad* only now you have graced this humble abode. We will play for sometime then you can go to your Arnav ji" he drawled looking at her from head to toe, making her skin crawl in disgust.

"Please mujhe jaane do" she begged him, crying profusely. She did not understand why she is brought here? But could understand whatever it is not good for her. Arnav ji where are you? I'm scared. Please come and take me away from here.....from him.

He caressed her cheek, she pushed his hand away and scooted backward painfully. Her back hit the wall, she tried to stand, but her limps felt heavy. Taking support of the wall she rised to her feet and stood weakly looking at him terrified.

He gave a sinister smile and walked towards her "Don't be scared Princess. We will have fun."

Khushi "Dur....dur raho." she started inching sideway, he stopped smiling and looked at her coldly, reaching forward he pulled her harshly towards him "there is no way out Princess."

"Nahiin" she sobbed.

Pulling her close to him, she started struggling fiercely, he chuckled and ran his tongue on her cheek scaring her to death, she shreiked beating him to let her go. Becoming wild in panic. She started kicking him too, trying to pull his hair, scracthing his face.

He roared in anger, he did not expect the timid girl to fight back like this. He slapped her hard. Khushi fell, he pulled her hair harshly. She cried in pain.

"Is it paining?" he bit out, she tried freeing her hair from his hand but she was no match to his strength.

Khushi "Chodo mujhe"

Bhushan "the play has started just now. And already you want me to leave. Too bad I have no such intention"

Khushi "Please....Why are you doing this? Humein jaane do"

He looked at her smiling, then suddenly left her "Jana hai?" Khushi nodded her head, sweeping his hand "Go....run....one chance to run from here." she looked at him doubtfully, he stood aside showing the entrance of hut "go...run Khushi....see the door is open."

Khushi stood, staring at him warily she started walking to the door, he called out "Save yourself Khushi........if I catch you no one will be able to save you." she trembled hearing the warning.

Running out of the door blindly in a direction, she prayed Devi Maya please save me.......Arnav ji please save me......I'm scared....he is very bad man.....please save me.

She felt like hours running but it is only few minutes, she looked around the area, to the miles nothing could be seen except tall tress. Hearing foot falls behind her, she started running again sobbing. Bhushan laughed saying "there is nowhere to run Khushi. No one can save you. Before anyone can find you. I'll finish you."

Arnav looked at his mobile, checking the location again "She is moving". with Arnav, Aman and their security gaurd, and police too had arrived, now all were searching for Khushi.

Nodding at Aman and others with them he started running in the direction Khushi is moving toward's.

She felt dizzy, her eyes are heavy, her limbs aching, taking breathe seems too painful. She did not notice fallen branch on her way and tripped over it. Screaming in agony she fell taking Arnav's name.

Bhushan stopped few steps from her "Caught you."

She gulped, tried to stand but her limbs deserted her, and she fell sobbing. Bhushan tsked. He started walking towards her, she started scooting back. Not minding the hurt the stones causing her palm and body.

"Paas math aana"

He only chuckled at her futile attempt.

"Humne tumhara kya bigada tha. Leave me alone."

He gave her cold look "time is up Princess. Now enough of the catch and catch game." bringing his hand forward to haul her up, but Khushi held his hand biting. He cried in pain, pulling his hand away, while his other hand backhanding her.

He raised his hand to hit her again when a Roar stopped him.

Looking ahead he met with his death standing before him. Too stunned to see Arnav before him. Arnav raced howling in rage like demon raised in hell and hurled himself at Bhushan. Both went spiralling away.

Aman rushed forward to Khushi's side. Kneeling by her, he turned her to face him. She is so still. Scared he patted her cheek "Khushi....see we are here. Your Arnav ji is here" but she had fainted not able to withstant the emotional and physical assualt.

He looked up to see Arnav punching Bhushan shouting "Tumhari himmath kaisi hui meri Khushi ko hath laganeki. How dare you hurt her? I'll kill you." he started choking life out of him.

Police officers rushed to him, trying to pull him away from Bhushan "Mr. Raizada leave him. We will take care of him from here" but Arnav was like a demon left loose could hear nothing, see nothing but his wife getting assuaged by the scum.

Bhushan gulped in air, as the officer's pulled Arnav away from him.

Arnav shouted "Leave me. That bast***....I'll kill him."

The senior officer signaled one of the officer to arrest Bhushan and he stepped before Arnav saying firmly "You don't need to do it. Don't take law in your hand. He will be punished severely. We will see to that. See to your wife Mr. Raizada. She needs you."

It was like water poured on him at the mention of Khushi, all the fight went out of his body, the officer loosened their hold on him. Arnav shrugged of them and ran to Khushi, taking her in his arms "Khushi....jaan" he choked looking at her bruised state. He cried holding her. Why her always?

Jeevan Hospital,

Khushi was rushed to nearby hospital. Doctor is checking her inside the emergency room. Arnav paced outside worried and tensed. He looked at Aman "What is taking so long?"

Aman had no words to console him. He is too worried himself and could only wait for the doctor or nurse to come out of the room. He shaked his head helplessly at Arnav. His phone vibrated in his pocket. Taking it out he noticed yet another missed from Tanya.

"Arnav, we have not informed anyone at home. They will be worried. Not even Tanya is aware of what happened."

"I can't" he whispered, choking he continued "Aman please you inform them. I don't know what to say. This is all my fault. I should have protected her better."

Aman held Arnav's shoulder looking in his eyes said sternly "it is not your fault, if anyone is at fault then it is that bas****" shaking him he demanded "do you understand?"

Taking shuddering breathe he nodded. Aman led him to chair and made him sit "I'll back in few minutes." saying he rushed out to call their family.

Doctor came out of the room with the nurse, Arnav "How is she?"

Doctor "She is fine Mr. Raizada. Nothing to worry about. She is given drip to counter the effect of the drug in her system. There were few scratches and bruises on her face and body. We had treated them. Physically she is fine. Only when she wakes up we could say anything about how she is taking all that happened to her."

"Can I see her?"

Doctor "But don't disturb her." patting on Arnav's shoulder he left with the nurse. Arnav walked inside the room, and gulped looking at Khushi's pale form. Dragging himself to her, he sat on the stool beside Khushi defeated. Taking her hand in his, he blinked unsuccessfully to retain his tears but they stubbornly fell unchecked. Kissing her hand "I'm sorry Khushi. So sorry. I failed you jaan. Very sorry." cried trying hard to not make sound.

That was how Aman found him, crying and apologizing to Khushi. Walking towards them, he kept his hand on Arnav's shoulder squeezing "Arnav control yourself. Get up." he pulled him to stand saying "Go wash your face. Khushi will not like to see you like this. She will be upset."

Rubbing his face Arnav nodded at Aman "Be here"

Patting his back Aman pushed him toward's washroom saying "Of course I'll stay by my sister's side. Go on."

Dadi and Nani were furious with him and Aman when they came to know about Krishna, Anjali was horrified at what she heard.

Dadi "How could you hide such a thing from us?"

Anjali "Our Khushi was surrounded by danger. Chotte what if we had never come to know about Krishna." he shuddered at that, not wanting to think on it. Anjali continued "and today her boyfriend got to her."

Nani "Did you came to know who hired that woman?"

Arnav shaking his head said helplessly "Police are still trying to find."

Dadi snorted "They will take years but will never be able to find it. Did you really leave it to them?"

Arnav "No, we have also hired detective. I and Aman think this must be related to Raghu and Raghav. He is keeping an eye on Sheethal." Nani cursed them for even after being dead they are still haunting Khushi.

Dadi "did he got anything?"

Arnav "No, he could not get much. All he could find is Sheethal after her brother's death moved in with Akshay Sisodia within few months. She is always seen in his company. He also checked Jasmine's call record; we did not get anything there. He is trying to find details of the account from where the money was transferred."

Aman walked inside the waiting room "Arnav inspector called just now. Bhushan is dead. On the way to police station he tried to escape and they shot him."

Anjali "May he rot in hell."

But Arnav was more worried for Khushi, he looked at him enquiringly "Khushi?"

Aman shaking his head "Not yet. Tanya is sitting with her." nodding he got up saying "I'll go and be with her. Why don't you all leave for home? I'll inform you guys once Khushi wakes" everyone vehemently denied leaving. Arnav not pressuring them and asking Aman to be with them left to Khushi's room.

Sweety, wake up soon. I'm dying every minute.
