Part 69 Khushi is in danger

Arnav came to his recording studio, looking for Aman. Stopping the car, he got down. He ran his eyes, searching for Aman. There was no trace of him. He checked his mobile to know whether Aman sent any message but nope. He sighed. The very next minute, his head started spinning and he fainted.

When he got consciousness, he could not even move his hands and legs as they were tied up with a thick rope tightly. He found himself in his car's back seat, lying. Shyam was sitting in the front seat of his car, smirking at him. That was enough for Arnav to understand what would have happened. Shyam should have made him faint spraying some chemicals on him. He gritted his teeth and tried to bring his hand to his front side but his hands ached.

"So sad... You can't do anything because I tied your hands and legs so tight." Shyam mocked.

"You bloody b***" Arnav roared.

Shyam punched his face.

"You bloody coward... Untie my hands if you have guts" Arnav yelled.

"I am covered... I have no guts... Think whatever... it won't change my mind from what I have planned to do..."

Arnav didn't ask what he planned.

"Don't you want to know what I am going to do?" Shyam asked.

Arnav looks at him flaring his nose, and tightening his Jaws. Shyam showed Arnav's mobile.

"It's your phone. I took it from your pocket. I am going to go to your house now. I will show this phone to your beautiful wife and will say I kidnapped you. She will trust my words because your phone is with me. After that, without any choice, she has to obey my orders"

"What the f***..."

"That's what I am going to do..." Shyam laughed devilishly.

"I will kill you b***... "

"I know you will kill me... If I will be in India... But I am not a fool to stay in India after that..."

"Shyam I warn you..."

"It's your wish... You can freely warn me after I left this place. You will have enough time..." he laughed.

"Shyam, don't you dare... Khushi won't obey your orders... she will die rather than doing that..."

"Let her die... she doesn't need to be alive if I can't touch her..." He barked.

Arnav was tongue-tied. What could he talk to the creature who was in the disguise of a human?

"I could have left the place the very next minute after making you faint. Yet, I waited for you to get consciousness. Do you know why? I want you to know what I am going to do with your wife. I want you to die literally could do nothing and imagine the scene in your mind. This is time to pay back Arnav Singh Raizada... you should feel my pain... How dare you snatch Khushi from me...! Do you think I will become quiet if you marry her? The desire of touching her is running in my blood. It won't bate until I am alive... this night will be mine... your wife will be with me as mine..."

He got down from the car.

"Listen... your friend came searching for you... I made him faint, just like how I made you... I locked him in his car. He won't wake up soon... even though he wakes up he could not come out of his car..." Shyam showed NK's car key.

"Shyam... Don't do this to him. He will die... Shyaaaaaam" Arnav shouted.

"Feel glad, I'm not locking your car. In fact, I don't want you to die. You should live with the guilty of not saving your wife from me... You should regret your failure for your whole life..."

"Shyam... Stop... Shyam..." Arnav shouted.

Without giving heed to his shout, Shyam walked, closing the car door.

Arnav tried his best to get rid of the rope but it was next to impossible as it was tight like hell. Arnav's hands swelled with red patches but he didn't care about it. Without minding the pain, he tried to untie the knot.

.....

At the same time, Alex got a call from the control room. He attended it.

"Yeah tell me...have you traced the phone?"

"We could not reach the phone sir as it's switched off. The last signal range of the mobile was Moti Bagh, sir."

"Moti Bagh?"

"Yes sir..."

Alex frowned. It was Arnav's recording studio area. Did Aman go to Arnav's studio today? Why didn't Aman tell him about it when he inquired?

"At which time the signal was at Moti Bagh?"

"Around 12 am sir"

"12 am? You mean yesterday?"

"No sir... Today... I mean, one hour ago"

Alex was confused. Aman called him and said he lost his mobile last evening. Then, it got switched on at 12am... that too at Moti Bagh.

"Mr. Jairam..."

"Yes, sir?"

"Could you point out the exact location of the phone?"

"One minute sir..."

The control room policeman zoomed the place.

"Sir, it's AR recording studio, sir"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, sir"

"Thank you"

Alex disconnected the call. He called Arnav as he assumed he would not have slept yet. But, the call was not attended that confused Alex more. He was sure the recent happenings would not have let him sleep. Then why didn't Arnav pick up his call? An unknown restlessness occupied Alex's heart. He tapped his forehead with his phone. Why should not he ask NK about Aman's previous day's schedule? He would have definitely known if Aman had visited Arnav's studio.

In the meanwhile, NK opened his eyes, holding his head as he felt it heavy. He saw himself in his car and it was locked. He searched for the car key but it was not in the car. He sweated badly due to the heat inside the car. He felt a lack of breath. His mind worked fast. Without wasting time, he removed the head restraint from the car seat and hit the window with its iron rod. The glass got broken on the third attempt. NK came out of the car through the window. That was when his phone rang. He saw Alex calling him. He attended it immediately.

"Alex, I was supposed to call you"

"At this hour?"

"Someone locked me in my car..."

"In your car? Where are you now?"

"Outside Arnav's studio"

"Why did you go there at this time?"

"Khushi called me and said, Arnav went to his studio as Aman messaged him to come to his studio"

"Aman? When did he message Arnav?"

"Around 12am"

"Whaaaat? Aman called me in the evening and said he lost his phone"

"Whaaaat? Did Aman lose his phone? Then who messaged Arnav?"

"Do you see Arnav in his studio?"

"No, but, his car is here only" NK ran towards the car.

"Go and check it"

"Yeah, going"

NK came to the car and looked inside through the window.

"Nannavvv...." He shouted.

"What happened? Is Arnav alright?" Alex asked nervously.

"Alex, he is tied up in his car... Just like myself"

Alex sighed in relief.

"Something is terribly wrong... I'm going to RM... You take care of Arnav" Alex disconnected the call.

NK opened the car door and untied the rope from Arnav's hands. In no time, Arnav jumped into the driver's seat and started the car towards RM.

"How did you come here, NK?"

"Khushi called me and said about Aman's message"

"It could not be Aman's message"

"Yes, it's not. Aman lost his phone last evening"

"Is it?"

"Yes, just now Alex told me"

"Did Alex call you?"

"Yes, he should have traced Aman's phone, I suppose..."

"Call him and ask him to go to RM"

"He already went"

Arnav felt a little relieved but it didn't lessen the speed of his car. He was restless. He didn't know what was happening in RM.

"What's all this Nannav?"

"Khushi is in danger... She is standing on the fire" Arnav said gearing the car up.

In the meanwhile, RM,

Khushi was restlessly waiting for Arnav, checking her phone again and again. Why NK didn't call her? What happened to him? Why didn't he pick up her call? She held her head. That was when the calling bell rang. Khushi rushed to the door without thinking and was about to open it. She stopped. When Arnav had a spare key, why did he ring the bell? Didn't he ask her to sleep? then why was he ringing the bell now? She stepped back.
