The doorbell rings, Manvi opened the door. She saw an unknown girl and questioned "kaun hai aap?"

"Mera naam Ahana hai actually main yahan apne husband ko dhundhne aayi thi par mera saman sab kuch chori ho gaya.. Kya kuch dino ke liye mujhe yahan rehene ki jagah mil sakti hai?" she asked.

Manvi eyed her from head to toe, she was all wet. Her dress was torn and some bruises marks were on her arm. It was raining heavily outside.

She then thought about Aarav, what if she flirts with him. She denied "no.. you can't stay here"

She closes the door but Ahana said "Dekhiye please.. Yeh shahar anjan hai mere liye.. Please meri help kijiye"

Manvi sighed and went inside ignoring her pleadings.

After an hours, Manvi glanced outside through the window. The girl was sitting on the stairs getting wet in the rain. The whole night passed, Ahana was aware Manvi won't trust her so easily.

The next morning, Manvi opened the door and saw Ahana sleeping at the door. She said "Tum gayi nahi ab tak.."

"Wo yahan maine khudko save mehsus kiya.. Bahar wo kuch log mere saath badtameezi kar rahe they na" she made up the story.

Manvi sighed and went inside the house. She finally opened the door and let her inside.

Ahana looked at the house, her eyes searched for Aarav but she could not find him anywhere.

Manvi eyed her suspiciously "kya dekh rahi ho?"

Ahana looked at her and replied "kuch nahi.. Aap akeli rehti hai?"

"That is none of your business got that.. Saamne waala room hai and I don't want any interference" she warned her.

Ahana nodded and headed inside the room. She messaged Vineet, that she had entered inside the house.

Manvi came into the room and gave her cloth "change karlo.."

Ahana thanked her and Manvi left. Ahana came out of the room and tried to locate Aarav but she was unable to find him in any room. She came to the hall and saw Manvi arranging food on the dining table.

"Aap nahi khayengi?" Ahana asked as she had kept only one plate.

"Tum khao.. Main baad mein kha lungi" Manvi replied with a smile on her face.

Ahana ate the food and went inside the room, she had started feeling dizzy. "Oh god.. She mixed sleeping medicine in my food....." Ahana dropped on bed fainting.

The next morning, Ahana opened her eyes. She moved to the washroom and cleaned her face.

She stepped out of the room, and saw a rope lying at the corner with some blood traces on it. That means something is definitely wrong.

She hide and saw Manvi climbing the stairs. Ahana heard some moaning sounds. She assumed Aarav is upstairs. Manvi came down and saw Ahana.

She asked "kuch chahiye tumhe?"

"Nahi.. main bahar jaati hun mujhe apne husband ko dhundhne jaana hai aa jaungi sham tak.." Ahana said.

Manvi nodded and Ahana left the house. She went straight to Vineet's home.

Vineet opened the door and Ahana said in panic tone "Vineet you are right.. Kuch toh gadbad hai waha.. Mujhe Aarav nahi dikha but maine rassi dekhi khoon waali and upar se awaaz bhi aayi koi"

Vineet looked at her and said, "That means Aarav is in danger.. Please Ahana kaise bhi karke mere dost ko uss ladki se bachao.."

Ahana assured him "I will try my best.."

She went back home, at night she ate the food and went to her room. She immediately took the medicine so that sleepings pills don't affect her. She lays down on the bed and pretended to sleep. After some time, Manvi gets in to check her when she is satisfied Ahana had slept she goes upstairs.

Ahana follows Manvi with silent steps, the door was closed. She could hear the sound.

"Jabtak wo ladki yahan hai tab tak tumhe yahi rehna hoga.. I can't take a risk kahi wo tumhe mujhse chura ke le gayi toh?" Manvi asked.

Ahana heard footsteps approaching the door, she ran downstairs and went to her room. Ahana thought "ye toh confirm hai Aarav upar room mein hai... mujhe usse baat karni hogi uske liye Manvi ko ghar se bahar bhejna hoga"

The next day, Manvi heard some noise from Ahana's room. She went to check and saw water leakage in the bathroom.

She asked "ye kaise hua?"

Ahana replied "pata nahi subah tap khola toh ab band nahi ho raha hai.."

"Arghh.. I will go and call the plumber.." Manvi informed and went out of the house.

Ahana immediately ran upstairs and tried to unlock the door but failed. She searched for the key and managed to find it hidden inside the flower pot. She opened the door and went inside. She was shocked seeing the scenario.

The room looked like a horror film set. The metal locks, chains, hammer, the rope everything was present inside the room. How can anyone stay in the room? A torturing place it was. She was shocked seeing the rats caged. Her eyes were searching for Aarav but she could not find him anywhere inside the room.

"Aarav.." she called his name.

She heard some moan sound, she looked at the direction and saw a closet. She opened it and was shocked seeing Aarav inside. His hands were tied and duct tape was on his mouth. She was left astonished seeing his condition.

"Aarav.. Aarav.." she lightly tapped his cheek.

He lightly opened his eyes, his vision was completely blur.

"Ghabrao nahi main doctor Ahana hun.. I am here to help you.. Please why are you tolerating all this?? Batao mujhe" she questioned him.

"Pani.. pani.." he said in broken words.

Ahana looked around and saw a water jug, she quickly poured the water inside the glass and made him drink the water.

"I won't run.. Please orphanage mei kuch mat karna.." he said assuming her to be Manvi and shut his eyes again.

Ahana was bewildered hearing this. She shut the closet and moved out of the room locking it. She came downstairs, and decided to inform Vineet about it.

She thought "nahi.. Agar use Aarav ki halat ke baare mein bataya toh wo gusse mein kuch galat na karde... indirectly usko orphanage waali baat batati hun"

She messaged Vineet "maine raat Aarav ki awaaz suni... wo kisi orphanage ka naam le raha tha.."

Vineet was working at the office, his phone beeped. He checked the message and was stunned reading it "orphanage.."

"Video... jisko dekhne ke baad Aarav wapas MAnvi ke saath laut gaya kahi wo orphanage ka toh nahi tha.." he assumed..

He thought "lekin Manvi ko kaise pata uske baare mein wo toh sirf main jaanta hun.. I have to find out"

To be continued..

Will ahana be able to save Aarav?

Stay tuned..
