In London,

Manik was feeling uneasiness he don't know what exactly he was feeling but something bad is going to happen was the feeling. He did talked with Nandini in early afternoon but that feeling never left his mind . He was sitting in his hotel room preparing for next scheduled meeting but before that he thought of calling her so he tried zillion times but she didn't answered his call then he tried calling Neyonika because Nandini already told him that she will go out with Neyonika nd Naina. But Neyonika also didn't answered his calls now it was enough for him to panic because two important women in his life wasn't receiving his calls. So after thinking wisely , he called Naina.

"Hey ..... Listen.......Is Nandini there with u ? .......Is mom is there too?.......Are they fine ?......Where r u guys and how r u? And why they both r not receiving my calls? " he hurriedly bombarded her with questions when she picked up his call .

"Hey relax......And she is not with me ....... I mean I am also waiting for her almost from last one hour .......And about ur mom , Nandini said she will ask her ...... So may be they both are coming together that's why she is late " Naina told him calmly. Even she was bit worried for Nandini but she don't wanted him to stressed out.

"Sir it's time for ur meeting.......U need to be there in conference room in 5 mins" one of the staff member informed him about his meeting.

"Listen Manik...... Go nd attend ur meeting......I will call her or her parents ....... Don't worry..... Best luck for ur meeting" Naina tried to made him understand and even he thought that he is missing her that's why he is worried.

"Okay.......But ask her to call me ASAP when u will meet her......Keep me updated" reluctantly he agreed to attend meeting.

...............||

"Rohan .... Aayan .....Nan ... Nandini is missing" Naina cried over conference call when after Manik's call she couldn't find Nandini , even her parents don't know where is she . Her ph is on but no one is receiving calls . Being helpless she started crying and then called her friends for help.

"Hey Naina relax ....we will find her ...... U do one thing go to her home and inform her parents......I will trace her car and number......And ayaan u go to Neyonika Construction may be she is with Manik's mom " Rohan ordered everyone and they immediately followed his words.

Naina entered inside the Murthy mansion and told Nandini's parents about her being missing. Hearing about their little love being missing , in seconds their world crashed down and tears made their way in their eyes. Raman was going out of control due to vulnerability , Ishita was equally hurt but she knows in the matter of Nandini she needs to be strong and she needs to support him.

"Raman don't u love ur daughter? " she asked strictly.

"What the fuck are u asking Ishita?...... Don't u know me?" he cried out and she hugged him and kept caressing his hair.

"Shh..... Don't be cry dad and find ur princess Raman ....... Don't waste time in crying we don't know in what condition she is" she calmly made him understand and he instantly broke the hug and immediately called commissioner and asked his team to search for Nandini. off course he has power to do things and if it's about his daughter then he has power do anything and everything .

"I am going with commissioner , u stay here and do inform me if you found anything" saying this he left the house. Now he wasn't cry dad but raged father who can burn the world for his daughter .

................||

Tracing her car and ph Rohan reached at the place which was near Nandini's house.  He found glass window of her car broken and Ph stuck inside her car . The scene was cleared that someone hit her car and there wasn't any blood sign or something so it was obvious that she is kidnapped.

"Hello ..... Raman Uncle I found her car broken and her ph was there in car ......Yeah ..... I am sending location" he informed about this to Raman on pH call.

...................||

Aayan barged inside the Neyonika construction and without appointment or any formal gestures he just entered inside Neyonika's cabin and found it empty he was about to go out but saw her coming inside with secretary. Actually she was attending meeting so her pH was silent and she didn't checked her phone.

"Aayan why are u here?......And why r u so stressed out? ........R u fine ?" she asked suspiciously seeing him huffing.

"No ....... I mean....... Nandini is missing " he managed to drop bomb on her.

"Whattt?" she went numb .

"Possibility is that may be she is kidnapped " here he dropped another bomb.

"How ?" she was shocked and clueless. She started blaming herself in mind that she shouldn't have denied going out with Nandini specially when she had bad vibes , she shouldn't have ignored them.

She took her pH to call commissioner but she saw numerous missed calls from Manik and without wasting time she dialed his number.

...................||

"Hello Mom are u fine ?....... Why didn't u picked my calls?.......I was hell worried" he just reached near the door and in front of whole conference room he received his mother's call when meeting was about to start.

"Manikkk......Nandini is missing may be someone had kidnapped her" being helpless Neyonika cried silently over ph and that was it for him . He knew his insticts were telling him that something bad is going to happen but he ignored.

" I am coming" saying this he left everything behind and ran as fast as he could from there . He can't wait even for a minute to see her safe and sound.

He instantly booked ticket for upnext flight for Mumbai which will take off from London in just one nd half hour . He packed his stuff hurriedly and drove off to the London airport.

He knew that no matter what he does but he can't reach there before at least 12-13 hrs. And he can't risk her life for so long . So firstly he called Naina because he knew everyone must be together and he asked her to put Ph on speaker.

"Listen the way u guys have described things......The way he left car and pH there.....So  It's pretty much cleared that kidnapper is not professional and he must have something to do with Nandini .......That person knows her and there wasn't any blood or things that means he or she is not trying to harm her......So we must be knowing that person" Manik stated his observation and everyone listened to him . Even commissioner too agreed to him .

"So what u think.....Who it could be? " Aayan directly asked because he had confidence on Manik's intelligence.

"I am sure he is that bastard Sid......He was always behind her ......So without wasting time u guys start searching for him......Rohan and Aayan u guys go behind the places where he stays or go .......Uncle and commissioner sir u go and trace him ...... And we can't take risks so mom u go with Naina and try to get information from the place she got missing.....Guys stay in touch with each other...... And Lastly aunty do pray for her to her Aayiaappa she is his fav child " he was clever , strong and authoritative with powers . He instructed things with proper logic .  But at the end he was just Manik, her Manik who wants only her and for that he is ready to trust her Aayiaappa too .

..................||

She opened her eyes to find herself sleeping on comfortable queen size bed properly. Her head was aching badly but still she managed to sat up on bed . First she checked her body is she fine or not . Off course being girl she was afraid of most common fear of getting raped . Roaming her eyes here and there she found room to be empty and filled with lavish expensive furniture and other accessories.

"Who the fuck braught me here and why ?"  she screamed at the top of her voice and broke the antique pieces from side table of bed.

A boy came inside the room with two, three maids with him . He smiled seeing her awake and moved closer to her and she was perplexed.

"You kidnapped me" it was more than question to herself than a statement.

"Yeah " shamelessly he accepted

"Why Sid?....... I thought we r good friends" she was hurt too because she never thought him yo behave like this.

"Even I thought u to be single and of my age , studying with me in same college but u see , u proved me wrong.......U know life is like this unpredictable, surprising nd filled with betrayals..... Even u must be surprised seeing me here , haina?" he cunningly asked her. Whatever he said it was partial truth but for him it was reality because from childhood he got betrayals from the people he loved the most. His mother left him nd his father , for other man when he was seven years old kid only . From that day he lived in this reality and his father tried to keep him happy by giving whatever he asks for, he never tried to teach him difference between right and wrong. And this ruined Sid he started believing that he can get anything he wants by hook or crook. But exception was there and it was his mother he never got her after that day . off course he hates her bit still he craved for her love and in last six months he got addicted to the drugs because of some friends. But when Nandini and group joined their clg he got attracted to her innocence and cuteness that's why he approached them , he started spending time with them and he literally forgot those nerves controlling drugs .  . But his happiness was short lived when Manik came and he held Manik responsible for his loss, her. He was happy around her and he thought she will keep him sane but alas she too betrayed him . But this time he won't let her go just like his mom so he caged her for him .

"I am sorry that we did mistake by hiding things from u ....... But we were supposed to keep that secret, it was our task ..... And I am really surprised why u kidnapped me like this? ..... What do you want?" she spoke everything calmly.

"You ...... I want you and I will keep you for myself " he too spoke calmly.

"But I don't want to stay here and I am not any property so u will keep me caged" this time she retorted with anger.

"So u think ur Manik's property, haina?" he got angry too.

"No...... No-one owns me ......I am not anyone's property neither his nor urs .......And let me go " she with patience told him .

" After hearing this I am happy that ur not his property.......U know , I never had problems with him , except him being with u .....Now I can happily keep you for me" suddenly he behaved like a happy child.

"But how?........ Because u can't take him out of me ........He owns my heart ......U can never separate him from me , part of him always will be with me no matter what.....Now also he is with me , his memories makes my heart smile , his touches are lingering all over me I can feel him , I can inhale him , u can find longing in my eyes to see him , quivering of my lips to pronounce his name and desperation of my hands to hold him" knowingly or unknowingly she said the things which made her realised that he is the one and she really loves him , she fuckingly loves him, she really chuckled and blushed at her own realisation . And she started remembering their moments.

Her words or actions should have made him angry but they triggered him in different way and unwantedly he thought about his mother and he too realised he can never separate her from him . She is in his blood too he can't forget that and sadly he don't want to remember that .

"Listen stop ur bullshit...... Everything is illusion there are no such things exists like love and all...... But Siddharth Roy do exist in real world and I will make sure u will stay here only...... So don't even think about running away" dangerously he warned her and little did she saw some kind of vulnerability in his eyes too . After ordering maids he left her room.

After he left the room she started crying not because she was kidnapped but she was missing Manik badly. She felt so unlucky to realise that she loves him when he wasn't near her. But weird she was happy being kidnapped because it was her first time to got kidnapped nd second thing she realised her love. But for telling him that in this birth only , she needs to escape from here but how was the big question.

Leaving everything aside she got ready in comfortable clothes . And she was hungry so she ate food , she roamed inside the mansion with maids and scanned the whole area with her eyes and fitted that in her brain. She made friendship with bodyguards and servents. Sid was vulnerable from the time he left her room but he saw her mingling with people so he thought she is ready and she will adjust.

..................||

Manik was getting restless with passing seconds and helpless he wasn't even able to contact anyone because of plane. He started thinking about her and eventually got lost in her thoughts.

Other people followed Manik's words and actions. He wasn't there but he was there only. And it was confirmed that Sid only kidnapped her but big question was where did he kept her. Everyone was trying their best .

Raman was determined to find his daughter anyhow so the Ishita was , but similarly she was missing Nandini and bad thoughts were troubling her mind . She prayed for her safety. Neyonika was silently upset because Nandini is the only friend she have after her childhood soul sister . Her friends were upset too and they were consoling elders .

....................||

After dinner Nandini was sitting in her room thinking about the incidents that happened in last few months. How her life changed completely with Manik . And now living without him is not possible she can't afford to lose him or her family or anyone. She wants her freedom she can't stay here being caged. And for that she needs to escape.

'Remember one thing u don't need anyone to protect you ....... Ur capable enough ' his words roamed in her mind. She knows she is capable enough but not physically. So she thought about something brilliant.

Faking enthusiasm in her she went inside the kitchen near the bar counter she ordered the different types of alcohol in one box . She also asked one maid to took some snacks and she herself picked up red Bull cans.

With all the male servants and few female servants she arranged small party in the backyard of mansion. Sid thought she is trying to accept things so he didn't interrupted her privacy. She danced with them , acted like a real funny nd heartbroken sharabi in front of them in short she entertained them and they enjoyed to the fullest. Stupid they didn't observed she was drinking only Red Bull . But they filled free alcohol in their system till their throats.

"Oyye  Babu bhaiya (in loud drunken voice) ..... Do u know the safest way to exist ( in soft baby voice) .......U don't know ( pointing finger at one person and nodding her neck frantically) " she asked cutely and how anyone can deny that package of drama .

"Come here......Come " two guys stood up and silently asked her to follow. With a smirking face she too followed them with one maid.

"Shh ...... Don't make noise " One of the security guard also behaved like a child with her and they showed her way to exist and also accompanied her to the main road in drunken state which was 10 mins away from mansion.

When they reached it was the time of dawn , she was guilty for deceiving them but she can't stay there locked up and also it's a best way to save them from her angry monster and possessive Papa. But she was genuinely thankful to them so she hugged everyone and ask them to return back. They were under the affect of alcohol nd Nandini so they followed her instructions.

The road wasn't completely silent but only few people were here and there. She don't know where exactly she was but she knew she will find the way. Because she don't need anyone to protect her. She roamed here and there and the people she saw was mostly the farmers and milkmen . Being tired she thought of stopping her search. She stood near one Hero Splendor plus. She was relaxing her arms and then only her eyes caught the key inserted inside the bike. Her eyes sprinkled with happiness .

"Aayiaappa u see , Manik is idiot he thinks I am the only one who is careless on the earth..... But see this milkman ,he also forgot to remove his key ......Ohh god again Manik , I should think about my escape first " she kept blabbering and finally realising the gravity of situation she sat on bike.

"But yeah I should be thankful to that stubborn head ....... Because of him only I learnt bike " with this she started bike and like films that milkman also ran behind his bike but as usual he lost his bike. And she laughed at the scene while riding . Definitely her life turned eventful in these two days. She experienced every thing which used to facinate her and that too without getting that much hurt. She had only few bruises on her skin. But in all these she completely forgot her fear for bike.

..................||

Manik reached at Mumbai airport and the first thing he did was to ask about her. He got to know that he was right about Sid . His friends , Raman and commissioner told him he kidnapped her and just now they got to know about where he had kept her. All the night they were searching for her and Manik was restless.

Actually no one slept last night . Her family and friends were searching for her , Manik was worried and helpless all the way only he knew how he survived from various bad or sad thoughts in those 10 hrs , Sid also didn't slept whole night he remembered his mother who used to love him like anything. And Nandini kept all the guards and servents awake with her.

..............||

Manik , Rohan , Aayan , Raman and police force reached outside the Sid's mansion. Actually it was his farmhouse away from Mumbai. Instead of blood , anger was running through the veins of Manik and Raman. They almost felt like loosing their world when they heard Nandini being missing.

Both of them were fast and furious so before police could entered normally inside the mansion. Manik and Raman brought everyone out of the mansion because of the voice they created after breaking things and creating mess.

As soon as Sid came out Manik just pounced on him . He didn't even gave him time to react , he kept beating so harshly that police had to forced Manik to stop. Sid did tried to protect and defend himself but how he can win against monster. Only Raman was supportive towards Manik.

"Where is my princess?" Raman too was beating Sid's gaurds who were trying to save sid from Manik.

"Where is my Nandu ? ........Tell me , where is she? " He roared and beat the shit out of gaurd.

"She ran away" one servent said slowly.

"What ?" Sid asked who was holding his jaw under protection of police.

"Yes sir ...... Last night she played with our minds and escaped from here at the time of dawn" servents informed .

"You bastards do I pay for u to lost ur mind and senses with alcohol...... U couldn't handle one girl " Sid shouted on his people. While Manik nd Raman smiled proudly at her bravery and definitely she is not normal girl but Nandini Murthy.

"And do I raised u with love and freedom for this? " here came another strong voice from the entrance of mansion .

"Dad ..... You here?" Sid asked unbelievably . Yes Mr Roy too got information that police is behind his son . So he searched for Sid and finally reached here to see his son's wrong deeds. For which he is equally responsible.

......................||

Nandini without going at her own home she reached outside the Malhotra mansion. Because she thought what if Sid's people will be spying on her like that day . So she couldn't take risk of getting trapped again. She entered inside and found Malhotra's missing , she smiled thinking they must be searching for her. But does he know about her being missing? or he is still there in London? . So many questions were running inside her mind but she don't know answers. So she called Neyonika from landline and gave her good news of her arrival.

  ..................||

"Mr. Roy sorry but we can't help u..... Ur son did crime.......We have to arrest him ..... Only Mr Murthy can help you " police commissioner stated his helplessness in front of Mr Roy. It became really difficult for police to handle three equally powerful and rich parties. So they suggested settlement.

"Mr. Murthy please listen to me "

"No ...... He did crime.......How he can kidnapped my daughter, no way......I can't help u "

"Think calmly.....I am also a father like u......And at least u can feel me...... U know the pain of losing ..... Please give me chance to save my child at least for once" The best businessman of Mumbai was begging for his child and this side melted Raman little bit so before he could react his ph rang.

"Haa.......What......... okay........ I am coming" happy tears fell from Raman's eyes hearing return of his daughter. Now he just wanted to go to his house. He did informed others , but police asked one of them to stay there till the time matter settles down between them.

Manik wanted to engulfed her in his arms without wasting second. But he knew her father have right to see her first and also he couldn't meet her properly when everyone will be around. So he stayed there at Roy mansion and also he couldn't leave Sid easily and specially when he kidnapped her.
