I am dedicating this chapter to all my readers who have supported my first story, "Hate or love but you are mine" Ridhima and Ronit. Due to them I am able to write HOL series and sharing it here.

▶
Rinky and her family reached home. They were worried about Ridhima who was not at her apartment and was not picking up her phone. They tried calling Ronit but in vain.

"I don't know why di is not picking up the phone" Rinky angrily sat on her bed. After having lunch with her family she came to her room. She is worried about her sister. Ridhima is not keeping well and that Karishma and Sanjana are still planning something. Due to all this Ronit had increased the security.

Rinky dailed Ronit but his phone was switched off. She closed her eyes and rested her head on the pillow, "What's happening in our family?" she mumbled.

Suddenly her phone rung, she smiled and took the call, "Karan" she said, "Rinky ummm...I reached Mumbai and I mean ..Rinky have you called Ridhi" he asked.

"Yes but she is not picking. We visited her home, guard said that she went to see doctor" Rinky informed.

"Rinky, I am with Ganesh and Ridhima is not in her apartment we called Prakash but he is out of the reach" Karan hesitantly said,then paused for few minutes, "I am still in airport. Ronit went to some meeting his plane had landed and we are waiting for him" Karan said looking towards the exit door, "He is here, I will talk to you later."

"Keep me informed" Rinky said looking at her mother who came to her room.

"Yes but don't tell anyone about this till we find out that what we are thinking is sadly true" he gulped hard.

"What do you mean Karan?"

"Ummm...Rinky sorry but I think Ridhima is kidnapped"

"No"

"Shhh...don't please" he said and hung up the phone.

Ronit reached Mumbai but still he was restless. Karan and Ganesh both hugs him, "She is not at home and your guard informed that she left with Prakash." Ganesh said in serious tone.

Ronit sat in back seat while Ganesh sat next to Karan in front. Karan looked back at Ronit who was fuming with anger, his eyes were red he must have cried Karan was sure. His eyes filled with tears thinking about his Rinky. Love has changed them, they never had cared for anyone but these girls have touched them so deeply and taught them meaning of love and family so beautifully.

They reached Ronit's apartment and Ronit directly went to his room.

Ganesh and Karan nodded at each other and left Ronit alone for sometime.

After few hours Abhay informed that Ridhima is kidnapped from the clinic where she went for check up. When Karan looked at Ronit, he mouthed "she is pregnant"  Ganesh and Karan blinked back their tears. They can't let anything happen to Ridhima and baby. And they will make sure Karishma will be given death sentence.

Karan took out his phone and dialed Rinky, "Karan where is di, she is back, she is not kidnapped naa" Rinky asked.

"Rinky....I... RinkyRidhimaiskidnapped" Karan said in one breath.

"Karan, I didn't get you" Rinky asked, she heard him, heard the last word kidnapped. Her mother looked at her, Rinky tried to blink back her tears but they started coming out once Karan clearly told her that her sister is kidnapped.

"No.....no" Rinky said throwing her mobile on her bed, "No mom... It can't be possible" Rinky cried.

No, it can't be possible" Rinky's mom shook her, "Say it Rinky, say that you are joking or something, my daughter is fine and with Ronit" she spoke again.

"Mom, please" Kajal hugs her mother in law, "Ridhima is kidnapped and I am sure Karishma must have done this" Rinky's father said who just spoke to Ronit about Ridhima.

Karan looked down at his mobile, he could still hear Rinky voice, her crying. Whole night they waited for the call. Call from Karishma, regarding Ridhima or asking for ransom but no call.

Next day Karan was making simple lunch in Ronit's kitchen when he heard the knock at the door. Ganesh shook his head, "Abhay" he said and walk towards the door.

"Hi Karan" Abhay shook his hand and told them that he has some news regarding Ridhima so he wants to meet Ronit.

Karan nodded and went to Ronit's room. His heart break seeing his friend crying,
Karan kept his hand on Ronit's shoulder "we will find her come out Abhay has some news regarding Ridhima" Karan said.

Ronit looked up at Karan with tears in his eyes and anger in his voice, "Now he has news when my wife is already missing" he angrily said.

Karan gulped hard trying to stop his own tears from coming out, "Please" Karan pleaded and then both friends walk out to the living room where Abhay told them what happened in doctor's clinic and the doctor who worked for kidnappers is also missing. But they are still not sure that Karishma is behind the kidnapping.

Leela spoke to Rinky about her sister. Even she was worried. What's happening in our family she thought and looked at her sister who was having lunch, "Lee come have lunch" Leena smiled.

"No I don't feel like having lunch"

"Why? "

"Ridhima bhabhi got kidnapped" Leela said.

"What?" Leena asked in shock.

"Yes"

"I am sure Karishma is behind this" Leena sadly looked at Leela who was staring at her without blinking.

"Leena may I ask you something?" Leela asked.

"Yes"

"Do you really want to get married, I mean we are so young we can go for further studies and join bhai and enjoy independent life before getting married " Leela said.

"What happened to you?" Leena took her hand and gestured her to sit but Leela shook her head.

"I think I understood the meaning of real love and family"  Leela said in serious tone.

"Really, so you are in love" Leena asked.

"Yes, I am in love with myself and my family. I'm in love with my future and my dreams," she said but then she slightly turned , "Leena think about your future before giving Dev, your pride,your property and your love" Leela said and walked away.

She promised herself that she will only give her heart to the one who deserves. One day she will find real love just like her Ronit bhai, Karan and Ganesh bhai who love their partners and can do anything for them.

Karan and Ganesh forced Ronit to have some lunch, "Eat Ronit, you need to be strong for Ridhima we need to find her" Ronit nodded and started eating when his phone buzzed, it was some private number and to their surprise that call was of Ridhima. Finally Ridhima called and told them that Karishma had kidnapped her and gave them idea about location. Ronit and friends made plan with the help of Abhay.

Rinky was not able to think anything. Even Karan was not telling her anything so she thought of visiting her jeju. She called for taxi, "I am going to Jeju's place" she said and ran down the stairs.

Rinky was about to sit inside the waiting taxi when her phone buzzed, "I am coming Karan" she said.

"No you are not coming, we are going to find Ridhima soon"  he said in serious tone.

"I am coming,  I need to know what's going on?"  she saud in irritated tone.

"Why don't you understand Rinky, they are keeping an eye on us."

"What? "

"Yea. "

"I don't care  Karan I am coming I will change my costume and come."

"No it's dangerous."

"I don't care, I am helping you in saving your sister life then how come you kept me out of this plan Karan Ridhima is my sister ...my di"she angrily said and hung up the phone.

Karan opened his message window," Don't come to Ronit's place we are on the way to Nashik. Call Abhay."

After few hours,
Karan,Ganesh and Ronit made plan and then they dressed up as sadar and reached lonavala on bikes.

Suddenly Karan's phone buzzed when Ronit was about to knock the bungalow where Ridhima is kept after kidnapping.

"Take the call" Ganesh said looking down at his mobile.

Karan took the call, "We are at location will talk to you later" he said.

"I am in Nashik with Abhay"  Rinky said.

"Rinky."

"Yes Karan."

"Its dangerous."

"The plan which you made for Dev is also dangerous." She said "Save my sister" she said and hung up the phone.

Karan, Ganesh and Ronit knocked at the door, and behaved as a traveler who were lost and asked the head goon Raghu to let them in for just a night but he didn't allowed and pulled out his gun due to Raghu's behavior all the three friends pulled their gun and fought with  the goons.

Raghu later found that these sardar are non other than Ronit, Ganesh and Karan.

Abhay and Rinky came with police, the local police. Police went inside and arrested Raghu and his group. And they also arrested Karishma and her father.

Ridhima was  inside the room waiting for her husband to come. Ronit ran inside while Karan angrily looked at Rinky but from inside he was feeling proud of his little tigress.

"Your arm is bleeding" Rinky lightly rubbed Karan's arms and said. Karan looked down at her and brushed his lips lightly on her but Rinky moved back. At same moment Ronit and Ridhima came out,
Ridhima smiled at them "you guys look cool in turban" she said and laughed.

"hmm" Ronit looked down at her with tear In his eyes.
"I was scared and here you are laughing" he said in serious tone.

" Ronit don't cry, we are fine,I was sure that you will come hate or love I am yours." she said in serious tone.

"No hate only love," Ronit kissed her lips "Love you are mine" he again brushed his lips on her. "And if you want I can wear this turban for whole life just for you Love" he winked.

"Guys lets go home I am missing my Naina and her kisses " Ganesh said and laughed.

"Hate or love but you are mine" Karan scooped Rinky and ran towards the waiting car, hope everything goes well with Leena also, he thought looking at his little tigress.

"I have good news for you"  Karan said.

"What?"

"Your di is pregnant"  he said looking back at Ronit and Ridhima who were walking towards the car.

"When are we getting married Karan?"  she asked.

"Within two days"  he said kissing her forehead.
