Seeing the drama before him, Sid turns around with a smirk thinking "Hmm.... I guess she was simply enjoying the one moment being drunk.. Or she's planning to keep him away and safe.. Clever.. But my sweet honey, I think you forgot that Siddharth never takes any risk.. Surprise surprise darling.. Let's make it easier for you.. You're so going to enjoy this Piya"

He walks out the college gates with his same unwavering smirk on his thin face

Abhay was convinced that he need to make this right and find this Sid guy, if he ever want to see Piya's free nature..

He was done with afternoon classes so he decided to skip the remaining and started driving towards Piya's home..

He then thought better than invading Piya's privacy and turned to the other road and stopped to call someone...

Nearly evening

Piya was in class fidgeting, not paying attention to the lecture.. As soon as the bell rang, she dashed to their chemistry lab to take her mind off of Abhay-Sid by experimenting with herbs she freshly collected from the forest.. This optional course really gave her bits of peace, but only till her phone chimed at a message

She read her text "Hi sweetheart, I know you don't like surprises, but this one will be your favorite, I promise! Wanna meet your wannabe bf one last time? See you real soon at the dead bridge by the first crossroads.. Maybe in like.. 5 minutes?"

Ground ripped open beneath her feet...

Piya gasped : Abhayy!!! No....

Piya calmed herself from getting panic attack and tossed all the herbs into the bag and rushed out..

"Piya" She didn't even turn to Ruhi....

She forgot to take her car and just ran..

While running, she texted Taran "help" and sent along her live location...

And her phone rang, shocking her...

Abhay???

Breathing heavily, she picked up...

Piya : A.. Abhay!? Where are you and...

Abhay : Don't worry Piya, now you can smile without any restriction or fear..

Piya confused : What!?.. Listen Abhay..

Abhay : I know about Sid...

Piya shocked : What.. What are you..

Abhay : And today is the last time you'll see him, to wash away your fear forever

Piya more confused : Where are you..

Phone : (Abhay)Aah.. (phone clatters)

Piya's breath struck in her throat.... She ran faster and reached there in record time only to see....

..

Nothing.....

..

It was almost twilight, becoming dark..

Not a single life form seem to exist, not at crossroads, not on the bridge... She crossed the bridge.. And heard noises from deep inside the forest leading her..

And stumbled over something running towards it... Piya clasped her mouth to hold a scream... She just tripped over a dead body.. A guy in uniform.. Abhay's team member, one of her bodyguard..

She continued her steps following the line of bodies.. Some dead, some alive but unconscious.. And Abhay and two of his men were fighting with two other members, likely trained in martial arts to some extent.. Soon, everyone except Abhay and masked guy were knocked out.. Piya ran to Abhay as he subdued that person.. She stood few metres far..

Abhay : Hi.. How did you get here?... But you came at the right time... Now... (He twisted the guy's one arm as he yelled in pain).. This so-called villain... (He broke his arm making Piya flinch) will not be a part of your movie.. Cheers...

Piya : What are you talking about...

Abhay confused : Sid is now helpless Piya.. (he removed the mask).. See....

Piya looking at him confused : What nonsense.. He's not Sid!! And Sid's left arm is prosthetic.. He is a hunter....

Abhay stood up confused : What!? He's not Sid? And what's meant by "hunter"!?

Piya suddenly got alert and scared as that guy stood up behind Abhay..

Piya : Abhay.... Watch out!!!

Abhay turned around and dodged him, but the guy outbalanced Abhay and quickly struck a needle to his neck..

Piya horrified : No!!

She started to run towards him but was caught by someone midway.. And she heard the most unwanted whistle right near her ear, the music terrifying her...

Sid whispers : Helloooo... Lovvve!!.....

Piya gasped : No.. Leave me.. You *****

Sid : Not ever... Darling... Not for life...

Abhay shot the guy dead before he got dizzy and stumbled to the ground.. He wanted to aim at Sid but was losing it...

Sid : Hola amigo.. And adios.. Pasar un buen rato(Hi friend.. And good bye.. And have a nice time) Haha! See you.. Never

Piya shouts : Abhay..... The herbs will..

She throws her bag to him..

Sid clasped her mouth : That's enough good byes for a lifetime... Let him die in peace now, will you honey?

Teddy came running there fortunately..

He ran to free Piya.. Piya forced away Sid's hand to gain only enough time...

Piya : Teddy, save Abhay! My bag..Herbs

Teddy stood there tensed, not knowing what to do.. He ran towards Abhay..

Abhay at the last minute, saw Piya held by the laughing monster, being dragged away, before getting lost in darkness.....
