Nethra's POV

Flashback

"A sad truth is there for you, Nethra!" He stopped seeing me.

"What?" I asked in shivering voice.

"Your dad, Gautham and his dad planned together and they make others believe that you eloped with your lover. Even in court, your dad proved that you have eloped. When you are in semi conscious, they recorded your tone and makes everyone to believe," It really breaks my broken pieces of my heart. How did my dad can do such sin to me? How can he tell that his own daughter was eloped? I never ever forgive him in my life time. I don't want to see him in my life again.

"Like everyone, I have marriage dreams etc but my dad breaks it. In my side I have only my dad. I lost my mother. If my mother was alive, she will never let my life to get worse. She will kill my dad for his actions," I cried remembering my mother.

"Don't cry Nethra. I can understand your painful life. Don't worry that you has none in your side. I am there for you as your brother for life time. I will make arrangements to reunite in the bonding of marriage with Rahul," Happy tears occupied my eyes. I smiled at him. I held his hand at once in happiness.

"Anna (elder brother)!!!!" I said slowly. It was like I found my missed brother after 20 years. Happiness occupied in me as I can't define. I accepted him as my own brother and his daughter as my own. I took care of them both.

Days passed, He took every possible steps to return back to India. Due to money background, the case moved dead slowly. Gautham's dad was very strong to imprison me for years. He searched me many places but he couldn't find me, I came to know it through my anna. We shifted to many places. He dealt the case brilliantly and it was about 25 days more to return to India.

"Come with me to India, anna. I want you and baby to be with me," I said lovingly.

"I have no idea to return back to India but for sure I will come there to arrange your wedding," he said caring mixed with love.

"Ok! Baby will be with me,"

He smiled.

"Nethra, talk to Rahul that you are safe here. I will see your dad,"

"Nope,"

"Why?"

"I want to stand in front of him surprisingly after twenty five days. I want to see his happiness in front of my eyes. It will be very nice and memorable one,"

"So cute! As you wish. Did you scare of your dad?"

"Nope"

He smiled

"You are with me right? My Anna is US police. My dad will get scared of you, if he came to know,"

He smiled again.

"Be happy ever! Nethra,"

"Sure anna,"

Days passed slowly. Count down started and only five days more. I was excited and at the same time I was scared too.

On that day, I and my anna went to police station regarding the closing of file. He closed the file by safeguarding me and now I can leave U.S at anytime. We returned to our apartment happily. My happiness didn't stand for a long time. My fate started chasing me again. We entered the home and shocked to see that incident. The maid laid in the floor with blood in her forehead. She was unconscious. The baby was found nowhere.

For the first time, I saw tears in his eyes. He reported immediately to his higher officials and took the maid to the hospital.

"Anna! Baby will be safe. Don't worry," I said cryingly.

"What happened to my child? My haters kidnapped my wife and killed her and now my child was missing?" He said painfully.

Two days passed by but no information about the baby.

"Where is the baby? Is the baby kidnapped? If kidnapped, who kidnapped her? The baby kidnapped for punishing the police or for child abuse?" Cases were filed and investigated in different angles but it of no use. No clues were identified. The only way to find the child was only if the maid opened her mouth. Day by day her health was deteriorating.

Since anna had many enemies officially he couldn't trace the culprit. One thing anna was sure about that the baby was not kidnapped for Money because none of the calls demands for Money or anything. Often, he shifted the place to provide safety to the child still he was traced by someone. The case went strangely. Day by day the fear overtook us.

The day arrived which I have waited so far.

"Nethra! I will drop you at airport. Get ready. Secretly I have planned a surprise for you but I can't execute now. I will come to India with baby within a week. Don't worry for anything," he said compromising me.

"No anna! I can't leave you alone here in such situation. We should find the baby first after that we together can go to India. I can't be happy even I return now. The baby's smile is flashing in front of my eyes. Please, don't compel me, anna," I requested him.

"No Nethra! You should go today. Baby is safe! Trust me. Please Nethra, don't trouble me?" He said shocking me.

"What trouble? Am I burden for you anna?" I asked tears in my eyes.

He didn't reply. He never ever behaved like this before. To make me return to India, he was behaving like this. I knew it for sure.

"Anna! Did you accept me as your own sister? How will a sister leave her brother in such situation? My happiness is not more important than yours. I will be with you until you find the baby. The next second we can return back to India. Please, Anna,"

He stretched the news paper towards me. I was nervous at the moment I found tears in his eyes. I got the news paper and read the news, "The most prominent IPS officer Vidharth is live in relationship with the accused Nethra (Gautham's case). They found the baby was burden for them so they killed the baby and played the drama : A shocking report,"

"Nethra! Don't worry for this news. These people don't know the value of relationship. Please go from here. Don't get hurted again," he said hiding his tears. I knew he was deeply hurted by this news but still he gave me enough strength.

"I don't need any certificate from others anna. I am stronger with my decision, I will return to India only after finding the baby. The same news reporters will feel guilty soon for the fake news." I said.

"After my wife's death, I found this world as meaningless. My wish is to bring up my baby in good environment. I am happy to get a good relation like you, Nethra. I am proud to have you as my sister. She has none except us. I will break his hand when I found the person who is responsible for this news," he said emotion mixed with anger.

He investigated the case in different angles. Finally, he get clues through the maid. After a month, she came to normal. She confronted that the baby was kidnapped by Jayanth. He beaten me in forehead. I fell unconscious.

"Jayanth? Who is that?" May be Anna's enemy..

Anna came to know that he was connected with Gautham's dad and he kidnapped the child. He trapped and arrested Jayanth. Then, he traced and found out the baby after a week in orphanage. We were very happy at the time. The baby brought happiness again. Anna tried a lot to imprison Gautham's dad. Again, Gautham's dad escaped from law through money background.

Anna worked for hours to trap Gautham's dad but everything went in vain. After a month, we together decided to come to India. He agreed only for me. At that time, he was appointed as senior police officer to deal an important scam case. The situation didn't allow him to accompany together with me. He requested me a lot.

"I will be with you always my sweet sister. Sorry, I can't postpone my work but I will be present in your marriage without any delay," he said and finally I accepted to come to India.

"What happened next?" Rahul asked me brought me back to present. I hugged him due to fear. He cupped my face and held me tightly. "I am there for you Nethra. I am one of the reasons for your troubles too. After the court's judgement, I didn't take any steps to find you though my heart knows that you are innocent. I was selfish and I concerned only about my family. I didn't expect this worst part in your life. I am sorry Nethra. Will you forgive me ever?"
