Aman was very much tensed. He needs to arrange money, so that he can save his sister. The only person who could help him now was ASR, earlier, words failed to form in front of his Boss, but this can't end up like this, he have less time, he needs to be strong enough to ask the money, anyhow.

Aman went to Arnav, sweating like hell. Arnav was initially taken aback looking at his condition.

"Wo.. ASR I want 50 lacs urgently, please, I will work day and night in AR and return your money. Please ASR" Aman closed his eyes and finished the sentence in a single breath so that he doesn't fall weak later.

Arnav was startled. He knew why Aman was asking such huge amount. But he didn't want Aman to give into the words of Kidnappers. He wanted Aman to fight the situation, which was really useless to expect from him.

"But why do you want such a huge sum?"

"ASR I can' tell you that now" he looked away

"So you won't tell me that Your sister has been kidnapped?" Earlier, Arnav had planned to avoid Aman and save his sister without his knowledge, so that Aman doesn't needs to plead in front of him for money.  but after hearing the urgency in Aman's voice, he couldn't stop himself from revealing the truth.

Aman was literally shocked, his eyes popped out as he asked "How..?  how do you know that?"

Arnav told Aman about the phone tapping and how he heard their conversation. Aman looked bewildered​. "But my phone is already tapped by the goons"

"I know. But my men managed the recording. Let's not get into details, we have more important task at hand.. I heard them asking for money in return of your sister"

Later, As realization started dawning, Aman's eyes became moist.

"You heard it right, they .. they captivated my sister, Khushi. And they are demanding a huge sum. I'm​ waiting for the day they release my sister, I ... I want to save her ASR, I love my sister a lot.. I .. no more, can see her in pain. Please, help me ASR"

Arnav kept his hand on Aman's shoulder.

"Aman relax, stop crying." Arnav poured a glass of water and gave it to him.

"Aman, how can you be so sure that they will return Khushi after you pay the money?"

Aman was shocked and gave a worried look. Why this thought didn't occurred in his mind? Will they really leave his sister, this easily?

"Don't tell like that ASR. I don't want to lose my sister" Aman convinced himself

"I am telling the fact Aman. Think wisely. Are you sure that they will leave your sister after you give them the money?"

Aman didn't meet his eyes with Arnav.

"No, right? then what's the use of giving so much of money? Aman you should not get weak, you should face the situation. Don't lower your head to their every demand"

"How can I, ASR? They ... They have warned ME not to go to the police. They have kept an eye on me. Even, some men are outside this office ready to follow me every where. Then how can I fight the situation? "

"I am there right , i will help you. Khushi will be alright. Don't worry. We will get Khushi back" Aman looked at him with hope as Arnav nodded his head affirmatively.

They discussed a plan, when Arnav got a call from the detective.

"Sir, Khushi's location has been tracked"

"That's great" said Arnav.

Lucknow

Arnav and his detectives reached the place where Khushi was captivated. The detectives cleverly looked through the window. There were only 3 goons and here, they were 5 including Arnav. The first thing they needed to do was to make them drop the guns. In all these Aman's sister shouldn't be hurt. They need to take care of that.

Arnav had asked Aman to take a huge bag with him and exit the office. Faking his Lucknow trip purposely from a long route, so that the goons following him gets mislead. If necessary, Aman also would be faking his accident so that he gives ample of time for Arnav to save khushi.

One detective cleverly knocked down a goon, and held his kerchief over the goon's nose. The goon fainted. Arnav looked at the spy cameras. There were two spy cameras in the house. The goons had planned well. There were 2 more, one was near the door and other was near Khushi. Khushi was tied to chair. Her mouth was also tied.
One more detective shot the cameras, none of the goons could hear that because of the silencer. One of the goon became alert when he saw the screen go black.

"I guess somebody has broke in" said one of the goons.

"I will check" said the other goon.

As soon as he came out, he was hit by Arnav, and they made him unconscious with chloroform.

The men entered inside. The goon became alert. He tried to call his fellows but no one came. He pointed the gun on Khushi's head.

"If you come forward then I will shoot her"

Arnav and the 3 men became alert. Khushi should not be hurt. Arnav looked at another detective who was entering from the window. The window was behind so the goon couldn't see him. He entered from behind and took the gun from goon's hand. He and the rest of the detectives aimed their guns at the goon. Arnav went to help Khushi. He untied her.

"You are safe now, everything is alright" said Arnav

"Who are you? why did you come to save me?" She asked with a surprise.

Hearing her trembling voice, Arnav looked at her keenly, she looked so different from how he had seen her years before which probably was just a faded memory now, her off white Saree was torn in places, it defined the poverty they suffered. The black marks on her face clearly indicated how the goons tortured her. Most probably Aman's whole salary was wasted on goons. That's why his sister was in such condition.

Can he just say that he wants to amend some past mistakes of his?

"I am Aman's friend, Arnav" said Arnav as soon as she got up from the chair.

"How am I supposed to believe you? You just might be another one of them" though her voice was trembling, her eyes held fire.

"Trust me, I have not come to kidnap you. Why would I ?"

"I can't trust you.. I just can't trust anyone"

"Khushi believe me, I'm your brother's friend. He works in my company. There your brother is hell worried about you, and here you don't want to trust me" Arnav was frustrated. Well it was obvious for her to behave like that. Why should she trust him so easily? After all she has suffered so much.

She looked at him suspiciously

"I and Aman studied in same school, we were classmates too" Arnav tried, hopefully that she will believe him now at least.

"I don't remember seeing you"she said.

"I give you five minutes, do you want to come with me or wait here for the kidnappers to kill..? Khushi you have no idea, about how Aman is suffering. Aman's life is also in danger, goons are tracking on him,  now you decide"
Arnav shouted.

Khushi thought for a while. She has to trust this man, there's no choice left anyways.

"I will come with you. How is Aman bhai?" She asked after a pause

"Your brother is absolutely alright" said Arnav

"its not safe to stay here, come with me" he added

Arnav felt extremely bad when he looked at her condition. This pretty face had to bear the slaps of the goons.

They sat in his car. Arnav was driving to Delhi. All this while he heard her soft sobs. Arnav gulped his throat, he didn't have the courage to look at her. She was in deep sorrow. He stopped the car once they reached Delhi. He offered his coat to her, her Saree was really not worth watch. The first thing he did was to call a doctor. Khushi got down the car wearing his coat. She saw a huge building, she looked at him.

"Is bhai here?" She asked with hope

"No, he isn't. This is my flat" he said

Her eyes were questioning him, "why have you brought me here?"

"Khushi you are not safe yet, the goons have an eye on Aman, they are keeping a track of him, so right now I can't let you meet him. Until then you stay in my flat"

Khushi was hesitant at first. Her smile vanished.

"How can I ?" She asked.

She was feeling uncomfortable. This man has saved her, but how can she accept his every help? She doesn't even know him. And how can she believe that she will be safe here?

"How shall I believe you?"

"Please Khushi, you don't know how much Aman is concerned about you. He wants your safety, and my flat is the best place right now." Arnav said, "And you won't be alone, I will send my maid and a few bodyguards".

"Did bhai really send you?"

Arnav sighed.

"No, I have no much work to do, so I have started social service, come on Khushi, why cant you believe me?" He was damn frustrated.

"How can you expect me to believe you?" Khushi spoke softly yet determinedly. There was silence for few minutes.

Maybe she was over thinking. Maybe Arnav had really come to help her. Maybe Aman bhai sent him. She has to trust him, after all he has put so much efforts to save her.

"Will bhai come here?" She asked hopefully.

"That would be the most dangerous thing for now" said Arnav.

Khushi nodded her head. She doesn't want to risk her brother's life. She has already lost her mother, she doesn't want to lose her Aman bhai. He is the only hope left with her. Arnav took her inside the flat. there weren't much people in the building since it was noon. She entered the huge flat, it was luxurious. Khushi had never seen luxury in her life.

The doctor arrived and checked on Khushi. There were many wounds on her body. She did her first aid.

"Wo.. There are few clothes in the wardrobe, wear it" he said after having a talk with the doctor

Khushi obeyed him. She opened the wardrobe to find some neatly arranged Saree and wondered whose it might be. Shrugging off her thoughts, she took a Simple Parrot green Saree and went to washroom. She badly, needed to freshen up.

She came out of the bathroom after 20 minutes and went towards the living room. She needed to talk with Aman bhai, and for that she has to ask his whereabouts from Arnav.

Arnav looked at Khushi. He couldn't believe that this was the same girl whom he saw a few minutes back. This Khushi looked no less than an angel. He stared at her angelic face, which now looked more fair and clean. The parrot green Saree made her look adorable. He came out of his stance when she handed him his coat.

"Arnavji can I please talk to bhai?" Arnav looked at her helplessly, "please, just once I want to see him"

Hearing Khushi's plead, Arnav tried to think of a plan for the siblings meet.
