I was safe in this unknown man house. I had no other option than to trust him, he seemed to be a decent man. I asked his name, he told he is Kashif.

Kashif gave me food to eat, it was non-veg. I told him I am vegetarian. He apologized than cooked something vegetarian for me.

I ate the food, Kashif said "I will help you find your husband give me the details"

I sighed, I said "Can you give me your phone. I will tell my friend to send Aarav's picture"

He gave me his phone and I called Rishi. I told me to send me Aarav's picture by hacking Ahana's laptop as she attended our wedding and Aarav had shared pictures with her.

Within half an hour, Aarav's picture was on Kashif's phone. He looked at it and smiled "Your husband is handsome."

I smiled lightly, my Aarav was handsome and innocent who was killed for no reason.

Kashif left the house and started enquiring about Aarav. He saw Ahana, she was talking "We need to find Manvi.. that Amjad is not Aarav why can't she understand that"

"Ahana calm down, we will find her Kashmir is not big place it is not difficult to find her," Mayank said.

Kashif was left shocked hearing it, he came back and questioned me about all this. I sighed and had no option than to reveal the truth to him. I was trying hard not to cry and break down, I have to stay strong.

He said angrily "Are you mad?? he is a bloody terrorist"

"He killed my Aarav.. please help me" I requested him with pleading eyes and helpful look.

Kashif sighed, he keeps on staring at me and finally agreed to be part of my mission. He heard a sound and saw Ahana, Mayank along with few officers at the door.

He asked me to get up, we escaped from his house from behind the door along with his child. He dropped his kid at his relative and we hide somewhere.

"I am sorry. I am troubling you" I apologized.

"I must say you are a brave girl. You are here to take revenge of her lover death," Kashif said.

I smiled, three days passed by but we were unable to find out about Amjad. We had travelled to many villages in Kashmir.

Kashif said "I will get something to eat" I nodded and he left the hut.

I was left in thoughts, where Amjad is hidden? I can't lose hope, I won't return empty-handed.

There was a knock at the door, I assumed Kashif is back. I opened the door and saw Ahana and Mayank there. I panicked seeing them.

"Manvi.. finally we found you let's go.." Ahana said.

I denied "no I am not coming"

"Please come otherwise we will forcefully take you away" Mayank shouted at me aloud.

I stepped back, Kashif came from behind and tried to stop them but Mayank showed his gun. I won't go, till I kill Amjad.

"Manvi come" Ahana took steps towards me.

My mind stopped working, how should I escape from here? I kept my hand on my belly and screamed out loud "Aaah"

I shouted it is labour pain.

Kashif moved out and shouted for ladies outside "help, my wife is in labour pain"

The ladies who were living around entered in and took me inside the room.

Ahana and Mayank hide their guns seeing the civilians as they don't want to scare them. I smirked...

I made up a fake story to the ladies and they helped me jump off the window along with Kashif. There was a bike, Kashif got the bike and we escaped. Ahana and Mayank followed us.

Kashif brought me to his friend house. He assured me Ahana and Mayank can't reach here. I know, Ahana and Mayank want me safely but I want revenge for the memories which Amjad gave me after marriage.

I kept my hand on my belly and apologized "sorry baby. Mumma is putting your life in danger but it is for your good"

Another day passed, but there was no clue about Amjad Khan. Did he leave the Kashmir? I sighed, then I thought about the letter which arrived at Ahana's house.

I took it out of my bag and showed it to Kashif. I asked, "What does this mean?"

Kashif read it and replied "this means I am trapped"

I was shocked hearing it, why would someone send this to Ahana that to written with blood. Kashif was carefully checking the paper and spoke: "This is...."

I gave him a questionable look "What?"

He took the paper and put it under yellow light. He saw something and was left shocked.

I questioned me "What it is Kashif??"

"This letter had come from Pakistan" he informed and I was left stunned hearing it.

I asked curiously "how can you say that??"

"Manvi, there are both border prisoners in both side of the jail and they send secret messages to families.. this message belongs to some Vijay Sharma" he exclaimed.

This name Vijay Sharma, I had heard it somewhere. Then I remembered one day I was reading the newspaper one of the army officers who were in Pakistan jail for 16 years is brought back to India.

I was left stunned if he was back to India to his family then why in the blood it is written "I am trapped"

Wait? that does mean Aarav is still alive and is in Pakistan Jail? Yes, this can be a possibility because Ahana is Aarav's best friend and he might knew Ahana is RAW agent she can bring him back.

Did I do a mistake by hiding this letter from Ahana? God, I am just so confused. If Aarav is alive and in Pakistan jail, Amjad is in Kashmir than who was the person dead?

Kashif said "Manvi.. someone is asking help"

This mystery is getting more complicated. Kashif spoke "I know a military man he can help us answer some of our questions"

I requested "please take me to him"

We went out and I sat behind his bike. I am talking the path which had no end. Suddenly, I heard the firing sound.

I saw Ahana and Mayank behind us again, Ahana shouted: "Stop Manvi please.."

Kashif accelerated the speed, I held him tightly so that I don't fall. Kashif took a turn towards the village which was crowded.

He stopped his bike, he gave me a burkha and I wore it. We started walking in between the crowd like a husband-wife.

Ahana and Mayank can't fire, this was an opportunity for us. We got a chance we escaped, I had a sigh of relief.

Kashif brought me to the military man hidden place. The man looked at me, he scolded Kashif "I told you not to bring anyone.. we are at risk every time"

I lifted my veil and said, "I need help please.."

Kashif showed him the letter and also Aarav's picture. I folded my hands in front of him and requested "please"

He looked at me sympathetically, he agreed and contracted his agents in Pakistan to get the information.

By every passing minute, my heartbeat was rising. The military man said something to Kashif, Kashif looked at me.

"6 months ago an Indian was caught on the Pakistan border and was taken to jail he looks something like this" Kashif showed me on the computer screen.

I carefully looked, he had long hairs and braid. Tears slipped down my eyes seeing the stitch mark on his nose. I murmured "Aarav...."

"he is my Aarav.." I touched the screen. Suddenly, the screen went blank. I panicked.

The man said "for security reason image is deleted so that no one can track us down"

I was elated, my Aarav is alive. I was here to kill that Amjad but found my Aarav.

....................

Somewhere in Pakistan Jail, a man was chained. He had long hairs, braid. His scars were covered with dried blood. The door opened and a person in Pakistani uniform entered inside.

He lifted his face and demanded answers "tell me all the secrets why did you come here?"

He smirked and shook his head in no. The officer slapped him hard and began to torture him. He shouted aloud in pain.

He slowly started to lose his consciousness, a smiling face appeared in front of his eyes and he smiled "Man..vi" he murmured in a painful voice. 

To be continued...

I hope you are not shocked..

Aarav is trapped in Pakistan Jail! What will Manvi do now??
