Chapter 15: Abduction

Tum? HOW DARE YOU"

Her anger rose up high in the sky as soon as Asr came face to face to khushi.

He looks at the dead body of Lavanya and then back at the revolver in her hand with a unique surprise.

"I like your courage my darling." With a brief pause, he gaze at her from top to toe and then back at her face evilly. His shameful and dirty glance upon her made her feel disgusted.

All his deeds rolled back before her eyes. She breathes harshly trying hard to control herself. At present all she needs to do is find the man who killed Lavanya. Ignoring him and his presence, she ran toward the entrance. But she felt her dupatta being held from behind.

All her patience and sanity get drained. This man left no chance to show how inhuman he is. She raised her hand to punch the man the moment she turned back and caught him red handed. In her anger, she didn't realize he didn't catch her dupatta; he was stuck somewhere.

With quick reflex action, he grabbed her wrist and twisted it behind her back.

"I have no time to waste on middle class people. You have to come with me"

"So that you again rape me"

"Shut up you mad woman. I have no such intention."

"Then why are you here. Leave my hand you bastard. How dare you touch me" She began to punch him trying to free herself from his clutches.

"WILL YOU CARE TO LISTEN TO ME OR NOT. IT'S ABOUT MY SISTER DAMMIT"

"Do hell with her" He is losing his tolerance.

"Dare you speak a shit about her. She is my life"

"And what about my life which you spoiled for your so-called lust " He drew a sharp breath to control himself, but this girl understood only one language.

"I am asking you one last time patiently. Are you going to come with me or not?"

"Never"

"As you wish"

Next moment, she found ground slipping under her feet and he began walking, taking her out of the house leaving the dead body of Lavanya behind.

"Where are you taking me? Leave me. Leave me"

"SHUT UP!" In a firm tone, he ordered and threw her on the back seat of his car. She got up to open the glass window but he immediately locked all the way to get her out.

"You bloody monster what do you want? Aren't you satisfied causing me enough pain? OPEN THE DAMN DOOR ELSE I WILL BREAK IT" He smiles sheepishly seeing her fighting spirit and continues driving.

"ANSWER ME" She screamed on top of her lungs and her voice vibrated in the car breaking his eardrum.

He turned the accelerator and parked it on the roadside and turned toward her. Her eyes were red as lava.

"Your screaming would only drain your energy, Miss Gupta. Conserve it to fight with me because for the next few days you are going to stay with me in my Raizada mansion"

WHAT? NO! She shakes her head and looks around hoping someone would hear her voice.

~~

"How long would you run? Once again that Asr saved you. Again that bastard came to rescue you like that night. Very soon you will be under me. That's my promise" The boss exclaimed, sitting in a dark place, blowing the cigar and staring at her photo maniacally.

Someone knocked on the door. He signed and his secret agent came inside. He bowed his head in front of his boss before giving the news about Asr.

"So that man took my chick to his den for his sister treatment"

"Yes boss" He began to think for a while. After thinking for sometime, he got one amazing solution.

"Until her sister stays alive, he won't free my chick. Do one thing, kill that Nisha and put the entire blame on Khushi. Then Asr would have no reason to keep my beautiful chick with him"

"But boss, there is heavy security in his mansion. It is impossible to enter without permission. Every worker enters with a security code. No new person have access to it"

"That's not my problem. Do what I say. I want that chick under my feet as early as possible"

~~~

The door flew open and the short man was surprised to see Asr with a new girl. She is shouting and screaming while he is carrying her.

"What are you staring at me at? Get off my way."

"Who is she?" Kaka, his old servant asks, seeing a cloth wrapped over her mouth and her both hands and legs are tied. While there are tears in her eyes. She is fighting hard to struggle.

"That's none of your business"

All the servants left their work and came to the hall and looked at Asr with open mouth.

"Is any kitty party going on? Get back to work now" Everyone dismissed and rushed to their respective works except Kaka. He is more than a father figure for Arnav.

To the outside world, he is Asr but for him, he is Arnav- his chotte whom he carried and nurtured when he was 5 years old. Arnav lost his mother at a very early age. He lifted all the responsibility on his shoulder and carried forward his mother's business on it's own as the entire business and property belongs to his mother. His greedy father trapped his mother for property and married her. Later, when his mother died, his father didn't wait for one month and got married for the second time bringing a vile lady at home. She used to beat little Arnav every single day. It was Kaka who saved him from his greedy father and his step mother. His life was drastic. Then little angel Nisha came to his life who became his everything. She gives him strength to fight for all the injustice that happened with him when he was small. Yes, Nisha is his step sister. But she is unaware about it. His childhood memories still haunt him. It gives him chills whenever he recalls how his step mother used to whip him. He recovered from those dark memories and became stronger and powerful now. But what about Nisha? He cannot lose her. His entire world revolves around her. There are many grave truths that are yet hidden from his fragile sister. If it gets exposed, she would be shattered.

Basically Kaka is also a servant but Arnav gave him equal importance that he gives to any family member. But today for the first time Arnav has talked to him rudely. What might be the reason? Who is this girl? What relation does she share with Chotte? Never did Arnav bring any girl to home? Many questions are arising in Kaka's mind.

"What are you doing, Arnav?" Kaka asks, he follows him behind when Arnav ignores him.

"You cannot abduct any girl. I won't allow you to hurt any innocent" Arnav stopped midway but didn't turn back. When Kaka tried to free her hand from his clutches, he lifted his fury-filled gaze. Kaka stopped on his spot and Arnav continued dragging her upstairs.

"She is Khushi Gupta- Nisha's caretaker" Khushi glared at him angrily hearing the word 'Care-taker'. She wanted to tell the old man the truth. For that, she turns her head to speak although her mouth is covered with a cloth, but Arnav pulls her head back facing him and smile.

"Right Miss Gupta. Don't you need this job? Since your step brother is trying to manhandle you, you only told me to save you. Like a good and responsible person, I came to rescue you. Yes, don't be formal. I know you wanted to say thank you for saving your life. That's okay I understand you well"

"Ohh. That's the reason you are carrying her"

"Ji Kaka" His Kaka heaved, he knew Arnav never broke his trust or put his head down. Never in his life did his chotte do anything wrong, so why would he treat any innocent girl badly? How would he question his intention?

But another question clicked him. He can't stop himself asking. "Why did you tie her hands and legs and look at her state? She is crying. I felt she wanted to say something. Beta, are you okay?"

"Not at all. She is absolutely fine. Actually she is missing her parents and about tying her hands and legs, she only told me. According to one ritual, if a girl keeps fasting and does tough austerity like tying hands and legs all day, she gets a lovable husband."

What nonsense this man is speaking! Khushi is craving to tell the truth to this old man but he is not letting her move a bit.

"Really? That's a weird ritual. I have never heard of this kind of fasting."

"Yeah I know. This girl is quite gone-case and crazy." Getting convinced by Arnav's make up story, he took the leave leaving behind smiling Kaka.

~~~

After leading her in the room, Arnav pushed her inside the room, untied her hands and legs and then opened her mouth but before giving her warning to keep her mouth shut. Khushi looked around to the unknown deserted room that is far away from the main hall where servants are working. His mansion is huge and ravishing. More than 100 people can live here. She thought.

She has no idea what he is going to do. All she needs to do is shout. But who would help her? Nisha! Only she would save me. I need to tell her everything. But how? She is not well.

"If you are done overloading your brain cell, let me tell you there is no way to escape from my den so stop thinking you have a chance to run away. This is my castle. Every single person follows the rules set by me. Only I decide who will come and go. Understood?"

"I am not a robot who would run on your finger tips. Because of your unwanted entry, that killer escapes. Lavanya was going to give me information about my sister when you-."

"Cut your crap. I am not interested in your typical tragic stories. You are hired as a caretaker for my sister's treatment because she only recognizes you." He brings out a red knee length skirt and throws it on her face, commanding her to go and change. "This is your room assigned for you where you are going to stay till my sister's treatment. Change yourself into this within 5 minutes. This is a dress that every servant wore. I will be waiting outside. You should be in Nisha's room which is exactly next to your room. Did you get it?"

"Do hell with you and your so-called dress." Furiously, she tore the skirt into two pieces and threw it back on his face exactly in the same way he did. "I am not garbage whom you grab and throw it off like a useless stuff. I am a human. Never have I seen a selfish and mean-minded person like you. I reject accepting your order. Do whatever you want." She paused briefly and then continued "Seeing Nisha's state in hospital, I thought of helping her. But after knowing that my biggest enemy is her brother, I won't help her. NEVER EVER IN ANY WILDEST DREAM"

Saying this, she showed her back and turned to walk away. But doing this she only put herself into trouble.

Using an automatic remote control, the door gets auto-locked on her face. She got perplexed and continued trying to open the door and then look back at him angrily.

"How it gets locked. Let me go"

"Didn't I instruct only I rule in my castle. Your extra smartness only backfires on you" He stared cold and devoid of any emotion. She gulped as she saw him intimidating her. She began moving backward while he stepped forward. This continues till she collides the wall.

"No..Don't be near me. I will shout. Don't." She was pinned against the glass door and he pressed himself against her.

"You bastard. What kind of man are you? I will call the police if you force me."

"Oh really? Who will save you? Your ex husband, Manav or your dearest best friend, Nikhil" She punched his chest and at the same time kicked him, trying to inflict as much as harm as possible. Her retaliation failed when he placed a gun on her head.

"If you want to go, there is only one way and that is death. If you want to live, follow me quietly without showing attitude."

"Then kill me. Death is a blessing for me rather than breathing in a roof with a rapist"

"As you wish" With that, he unlocked the gun and placed the finger on the gunpoint.

Clutching her eyes tight, she mumbled devi maiya name.

"Good bye, Miss gupta" His gaze fixed upon her. In no time, he fired the gun, not on her head but in air and she fainted due to sudden shock. His lips curved into a smile seeing her new found courage.

He tightened his hold around her waist before she lost her balance. For a moment, he continued to gaze at her with his finger automatically trace the hair strands that fell on her face.

The ringtone in his mobile broke his trace and he came back to his present. Placing her on the bed, he removed his cell from his pocket and began to leave her room. The moment, the caller id displaced on the screen, his face expression turned serious.

"How many times have I told you not to call me at this number. Why don't you understand? Khushi is with me in Raizada mansion. If she gets a slight idea about you, her life will be at risk."

After speaking for a moment to the unknown person, Arnav shut the call and deleted the number from his mobile.
