" What happened Manik? Why so tensed?"

" I don't know Shona. Its just that, I feel something bad is gonna happen. Tommorrow is Vivek Murthy's first hearing in court. I...I am not getting any good vibes. "

" Manik. Whatever will happen, we will face it together. Hai na?"

" Hmm. But I don't wanna loose you. He is dangerous. He can do anything Shona. I don't want him to harm you again."

" Baby, you'll be there na to save me? I trust you. "

" What if I can't find you?"

" Whenever I get lost, look for the first memory of our love. You will find me for sure."

" First memory of our love? What is it?"

" Thats for you to find."

" I think I know where she is. ", Manik suddenly stood up leaving everyone surprised.

" What do you mean?", Arnav asked being unsure of what he heard.

" The first memory of our love. Yes...yes thats it. I know what she meant. Yes!", Manik was continuously blabbering to himself making others confused. Cabir and Abhi went to him and held his shoulders.

" Tell us clearly Manik. What do you mean by you know where she is.", Cabir asked and Manik told them about the conversation which they had they had, just the day before Vivek's first hearing. Everyone were confused with all this but Manik's face had lit. He was frantically searching in his pockets for something.

" Got it. Yes. This is it. ", he said, showing them something in his hand.

Manik was smiling seeing the thing while others were confused.

" But Manik, this looks like a keyring. ", Yug said and Manik nodded.

" Its a keyring cum micro usb. It was the first gift she gave me and with this, she had confessed that she trusts me. That was our first step towards love. Our first memory of love.
And now, this will take me to her. ", Manik said with determination and everyone looked amused.

Arnav came forward and asked Manik to put the pin in his phone. He did, and Boom! There showed a tag of 'Nandini Location Tracking'

" Damn! She's a genius! She actually kept a tracker with herself and put the tracking machine in this. Its actually working like a GPS now. ", Arnav said looking at the phone screen which was now trying to find Nandini's current location.

" Yes. And I was coming to tell you the same thing. I'm so sorry I got late.", said Kunal, entering the cabin.

" You knew about this?", Manik asked and he nodded.

" When I had asked Nandini about her safety, she had mentioned about a tracker that she had placed inside the infinity bracelet you gifted her. And she said that the tracking system was with you. Well, I didn't know where.", he said and everyone nodded.

They immediately connected the GPS to the large screen in the commissioner's office and it was centering around on a location. They were all waiting eagerly to see the location.

****************************************

Nandini and Vivek were sitting silently. They were still tied and completely drained out without water. Vivek's bruises had turned bluish and it pained him a lot.

Nandini was getting pain in her heart seeing his condition, but she didn't utter a single word. She was highly confused of how to behave with him now.

She didn't want to be harsh on him ;  now after knowing what he had done for her and then his present condition was heartwrenching.

She couldn't even be all loving with him. Hell! She has hated him all her life. She can't change her feelings in a moment now.

" Nandini.", her trance was broken.

" Yes?", she said, trying hard not to sound rude.

" I...I wanted to tell you something.", he said, hesitantly.

" Hmm.", she said softly seeing his hesitation. She gestured him to continue.

" Do you know what SN stands for?", he asked and Nandini nodded in no. Well, to be honest, she had always thought it to be on the name of his first wife and daughter. But now, she can't dare to assume anything based on her previous knowledge. So many shocks in a day had taught her this.

" I satrted it after your birth. It is named after my two daughters.", Vivek said and she looked at him with a shocked face. Ughhhh! Another shock! Why is God giving her so many blows today?

" I had never said this to anyone. But now I think you should know about this. The company SN, is on the name of you and Soha. No one other than me knows about this. And offcourse, now you know. ", he said and she sat there speechless.

After few moments of silence, she asked, " Why are you telling this to me now? I mean....", she stammered and Vivek smiled.

" I don't want this secret of mine to die with me today. You should know about this. Its your right. ", he said and Nandini looked at him with furrowed eyebrows. She didn't really like it when he talked about death.

" Why are you speaking like this? I told you na? Trust me. We'll get out of here. Naveen Aggarwal will end today. You'll get your punishment for sure. But before that, you'll get outta here. ", she said in a nonchalant way, but Vivek could sense the anger in her voice.

He smiled fondly at her. " I know what punishment I'll get. ", he thought in his mind, looking at Nandini, who was thinking hard for plans to end the devil.

****************************************

" SN Industries?", Manik wishpered, confused at what the tracker showed them. How can that be possible? Police had already searched SN industries for any traces of Nandini or Vivek, but couldn't get any.

" Refresh it.", Arnav said and Manik nodded before refreshing it again. The curser circled around finally centering again on SN industries making them shocked.

" But how can this be possible? We've already searched there na?", said Maddy holding his head.

" Yes. And the police is also there outside SN. If they had taken the ambulance there, they would have been caught na.", said Abhi and everyone nodded. But Manik and Arnav were thinking something very hard. They were trying to get the link between all this.

Finally Arnav said,
"Okay. Recall all the events from the morning itself.

1: Vivek Murthy gets bankrupt.

2: The news is out in the media and all the media houses rush to SN to get Vivek's interview.

3: His investors and clients file cases against him and police reaches SN to find him.
But...."

Maddy cuts him off,
" But they can't find him. He vanished. No one could trace him anywhere. The question is, ' How could he go out when the media and police was covering him from all sides?' "

There is silence for a few seconds which is suddenly broken by Manik.

" He never went out. He was there inside. ", he said and everyone looks up in realisation.

" That means, SN has and underground secret area from where, the illegal bussinesses of Naveen Aggarwal are operated. And Naveen has taken Vivek underground. ", Arnav said and everyone nodded.

" And now, they have taken Shona there only. ", Manik said and they looked at each other.

**************************************

Baam!!

The door opened suddenly, startling Nandini and Vivek, who were sitting silently, lost in their own thoughts. Four men clad in black jackets entered. They held both of them from either sides, and hoisted them up on their feets, dragging them out.

Vivek was silent as he knew how it works here. If they protest, then it would be more dangerous. He was silently praying to God, to keep Nandini safe.

Nandini on the otherhand was observing her surroundings keenly. She was trying hard to get some clue of where she was and how many men were there to tackle in case of a fight.

Seeing the dark vaults and no windows there, she assumed finally, that this place was somewhere underground. Men in the same black jackets were guarding each vault, heavily loaded guns in there hands. Some were roaming around here and there with their guns held in position, guarding the whole area. In short, the area was strictly protected from any outsiders. No outsider can enter inside without being noticed by them. 

She was making a mental note of passageways, when the guards dragged her through a low door, to a big hall, which was dimly lit. A table was placed in the centre with a few chairs surrounding it. Several guards stood at the corners with guns in position. A head chair was placed at one end of the table where a man was seated with his back towards them. From the view, Nandini could understand that it was there meeting hall and the man on the head chair was none other than the Devil himself.

A man seated to the right of the devil looked up at them and smiled evilly. He first looked at her and then averted his gaze to Vivek who clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. Seeing this, Nandini concluded that it was Vikran Khanna who had lured Vivek into this mess. Sudden wave of anger rushed in her and she clenched her fists tightly.

" Welcome Babygirl. Hope you had a great time with your father.", Naveen said, turning his chair around to face them. Nandini made a stern face and looked straight in his eyes. Her expressions clearly showed how much strength and courage she possessed.

The look on her face and her eyes that bored into Naveen's, made him slightly shudder for a moment. But he was also The Devil. Composing himself, he gave a smirk to Nandini, who smirked back at him, confusing him again.

Why was this girl not scared of him?

" So, I hope you have got all your answers from your beloved father. So sad....right? Pity on you Nandini.", Naveen said and gave a sinister laugh followed by Vikram and the others.

" You are really so backward Naveen Aggarwal. I mean, you should always walk with time na. Tch..tch..tch... the time to pity on me, has already passed. Now, its time for you, to pity yourself. Coz, your time, is soon gonna end.", Nandini said with a snigger making Vikram clench his fists and Vivek smirk. But Naveen smiled.

" Impressed! I'm really impressed! You really are Sunaina Murthy's daughter. She was the same. Always overconfident. But if you have forgotten Babygirl, that overconfidence of hers, took her life. ", he said with a smirk, but this didn't budge Nandini Murthy. She was still standing their with a devilish smirk on her face.

" You have messed with the wrong person this time Naveen. Neither am I Sunaina Murthy who always walked on the path of non-violence, nor I am the teen Nandini, whom you could torture in that dark room. I am The Nandini Murthy, and you seriously don't know me.", she said and this mere statement of hers, wiped the smirk off Naveen and Vikram's faces.

" Put the two on their knees and hand me over the gun. I'll shoot them right now. ", Naveen shouted making the guards who were holding them, push them down on their knees. A guard standing near to Naveen, handed him a gun.

Fear gripped Vivek's heart. What to do now? Naveen will surely finish them off now. How will he save Nandini now? But he was unaware of the fact it was The Nandini Murthy this time. And how much ever Naveen tries, he can never match up to Nandini's intelligence.

Naveen held the gun in position and removed the safety lock. He placed his finger on the trigger and smiled devilishly at the father-daughter duo.

" Whom should I kill first? The father?", he said mockingly, pointing the gun at Vivek who closed his eyes, waiting for the bullet to pierce his forehead. But nothing came. He opened his eyes to look at Naveen, who was smirking.

" Anhan! Not you Vivek. You've been such a loyal servant of mine. Haina? I mean you kept on betraying me, just to save this filthy daughter of yours.", Naveen said but was cut off by Vivek, who shouted at him angrily for calling his daughter with that name. " Dare you use such words for her Naveen. You have enmity with me right? Kill me. Finish me off. But she has nothing do with you. Leave her. Just...just let her go.", Vivek was screaming, pleading at him, making him laugh sinisterly.

But Nandini was looking at him with different emotions in her eyes seeing him pleading for her life. Suddenly her trance was broken by Naveen who sniggered, " No no Vivek. No. You went through all the sufferings whole of your life, just to save this daughter of yours na. Today I'll give you a reward. I'll kill your princess, here, in front of your eyes." He pointed his gun at Nandini who looked into his eyes, unnerved. She didn't want him to see her weakness.

" Nooo! Please Naveen! Take my life! Kill me! But please let her go! Don't do this Naveen!"

But among these shouts and pleadings, the trigger was pressed!

" Princess!!!", Vivek's scream echoed the dungeons.

Shit!

What the hell just happened?

Naveen pressed the trigger and fired at.......Nandini!

Cliffhanger!!

Don't kill me for this.

The next update on the way.

Coming back soonish!

Till then, keep thinking what happened.

Stay safe

Stay healthy
