The delivery date for Aishu was nearing and all the people were on utmost alert, one for Aishu and another for Shadow.

Ani was torn between the high emotional roller coaster of Aishu and the work assigned to him which was now mostly done by Aarav.

It was one of warm night when Aishu's went to her labour making all scared. All rushed her to the hospital.

Ani roamed here and there making the pack laugh while Ahaana was praying to almighty with Aminesh giving her small smile and encouraging her, Ani's parents were in dismal as they saw their son being hysteric.

"Enna evlo neram aachi innum anda Doctor varale", Ani said for nth time making Aarav groan while Mira squeeze his shoulders and asked him to relax.

Nitya was in complex situation as she didn't had that much interaction with Aishu but prayed best for.

"Deyh konja neram silent aa irru, kaadhu valikudu please", Ani's father said and slapped his shoulder lightly.

"Paa, ava anga ipdi azhara epdi naa gamunu irrukaruthu", Ani shouted at his father making the old man shook his head and gave a resigned smile to Aminesh and others.

"Deyh, ava unaku pondati ku munadhi she is my Sister, she will easily come back with our champ or princess very soon, neriya yosikade, just calm a little bit you idiot", Aarav gave a piece of advice and went back to sit.

Mira came towards Ani and whispered," mama naa onnu solren, it's secret okay".

Ani nodded and all looked at her with curiosity filled in their eyes. Mira then continued," Aishu akka baby shower ceremony appove sonnanga, neenga ipdi labour room le panna ungla papa kita oru 2 years vara vidamatangala and also neenga permanent aa room vita veliya irruka sofa le shift aaga solitanga, and also most importantly Papa ku naan daan peru vepen nu sonnanga".

Ani gaped at her and she gave the most innocent puppy look making everyone believe her but only few know her mischievous grin shee was giving.

"Adu epdi enoda papa ku naa daan per vepen, nee epdi vekalam Kutty Pattas, mudiyadhu mudiyadu", Ani ranted.

"Naa daan vepen, akka enna daan sonnanga", Mira argued.

Both of them argued making the nurses in the corridor smile while the people felt relieved knowing Ani was not stressing like he did few minutes back.

Their bickering stopped when doctor came out, all rushed towards her." Aishu and papa okay va doctor", Ahaana asked with concern lacing in her voice.

"Guys chill,. Everything is under control, innum dilation aagala to give birth so, she is taking small exercises with our staffs alongside, just want to say that she is little weak so after the birth she might need blood, inga avangaloda blood group yaarna irrukingala", doctor said seeing the larger group.

Parth along with Nivas came forward from boys side as girls were asked not to donate blood by all the elders. Once both of them went Mira was feeling something bile up in her but kept quiet. By time clicking, it became more evident and she started feeling light headed.

She saw everyone was already looking at Aishu's ward so without disturbing then she went to the small praying area,"Kadavule edo onu tappa nadaka pogudu tonudu adu oru bramai aa mattum irrukanum,ennoda family ku enda problem vara kuda Kadavule".

Her mind was still in chaos, she didn't whats that unsettling feeling inside, taking deep sigh she turned to see her worst nightmare standing infront with a devilish smirk adoring in his face.

"Hello Kitty missed me", Shadow said giving another smirk to her while she trembled and started going back which gave immense satisfaction to him.

" My my, eduku ippo bayapudre Kitty, see even after years I am still having the same adoration and love for you", he came dangerously close  making her shiver. While enjoying her stance, he pulled out the injection from his pocket and shot on her neck within no time making her gasp. Mira looked at him with full scared face, by the time she felt her eyesight becoming black and slowly her consciousness fade away.

Shadow chuckled and took her in his arms, turning to Mark he said," Secret path way ready daane, we will take her from there, also make sure CCTV is jammed and also no one is present from this room till the exit way, go fast".

Mark nodded and went to do his work as said by his boss. Once clearing everything he came back and gesture Shadow. The gaurds outside gave a node and covered them and started moving to the exit.

Outside the labour room everyone was so busy to notice Mira missing. They all preoccupied with the screams of Aishu and Ani's rambling, suddenly something clicked on Rohan mins and he checked at everyone.

"Mira enga", Rohan asked loudly getting all the attention.

Aarav frantically looked at side and found her missing, whereas all got fear. On the side Aishu scream also increasing second by second. Torn between what to do Aarav just slumped down while all shocked to see him like this.

Everyone knew who is behind it and the girls started tearing while the boys were having a urge to get that b*****d and kill him who took away their precious sister.

Nitya who saw all accommodation for the first time said," calm down, ellarum konjam silent aa irrunga,this is not the situation to bicker, ippo yosichi react pananum".

Aarav who heard her closed his eyes and took a deep breath then stood up with a aura so foreign to everyone out there, the cold and stoic expression in his eyes made everyone scare of him even his parents.

He pulled out his phone and called," Where the f**k is Mira".

"What do you mean you couldn't find her... ungla eduku na velai ku vechi irruku....I don't care about your bloody execuse....just get me where was she last seen in 10 min.... Dare you mess up this and trust me you fill feel sorry for every execuse", Aarav growled at his phone.

Nitya and Ani gave a knowing smirk while all trembled in fear. Nivas amd Parth who came after donating blood got confused with all giving feared expression and noticed Mira was not here and suddenly their mind kicked, Rohan pulled them aside explaining the situation making both roar in annoyance.

Nitya and Ani came forward, Ani asked," what next AK".

Aarav turned to see Ani and Nitya giving him a curious look while everyone trembling in fear,he exhaled and said," ellame terinjodum konja enna trust panunga...ippoduku naa edavumm solla mudiyadha nelamai le irruke but just some more time you all will get your answer... you guys take care of Aishu naa Mira ve badrama kutitu vare...I promise".

The elder couple gave a encouraging smile while all gave a small tight smile. Aarav turned to Ani and said," Deyh nee ingaye irru Aishu kuda, naa pathukre Mira ve epdi kutitu varadhu, also keep me updated I don't want to face wrath of Mira...ava kandipa kepa epdi enoda Chellakutty irruka la so be careful here...and Aishu ku ippo edavum solladinga".

Ani frowned upon him and said,"adu epdi daa, unna thaniya vitutu naa Inga".

Nitya came and cleared her voice," Ani naa irruke Aarav kuda you take care of Aishu, shee will need you the most".

Reluctantly Ani agreed, while Parth and Nivas came forward and said," nangalum varom".

Parth continued," Papa enga irruka nu teriyame Ennale Inga irruka mudiyadhu so naa varen, Rohan Inga irrundu ellariyum pathupa along with The Pack".

Rohan also gave an understanding nod to Aarav to which he sighed and gave a return of aand turned to Nivas whose eyes was already fixed on Nitya. Aarav didn't want to get into that now so he gave everyone a curt nod and started moving out of hospital along with Nitya, Nivas and Parth.

While making their way Aarav thought,'Shadow, you messed with a wrong person, you gonna repent it and I will make sure of it... ellarum soft and humble Aarav daan paathu irrukanga now they gonna see The AK... Just pray you won't get caught this time otherwise you are gone'.

The greater the storm
is
the brighter is the rainbow
