"Meeru..." Anika whispered to herself as she felt like something bad was happening. Looking around, she noticed that Meera wasnt there.

"Jiji...what happened?" Gauri asked.

"Nothing...ill just be back in a sec." Anika walked to where the youngsters were sitting. "Kabir...beta, Where is Meera?"

"She went upstairs aunty. To get Jai and Sona's  wedding gift." Kabir replied.

"But its been a few minutes na?" Dev asked. "Its shouldnt take this long."

"Arre...myabe she cant find the gift. Ill go and get her." Kabir got up.

"Haan ok." Anika replied forcing a smile but for some reason she was still very worried about Meera. Kabir walked out of the hall and started towards Meera's room. When he got to the stairs, he felt this unexplainable need to stop and turn around but he didnt see anything so he continued to Meera's room.

"The gift is right here, but...." Kabir noticed the wrapped gift on Meera's bed and then looked around, "Where is Meera?"

Kabir walked to Meera's washroom and opened it but it was empty, just as he was about to leave he stepped on something. Looking down, Kabir saw the necklace that he had given her on her birthday. He bent down and picked up the necklace remembering that Meera had it on.

*Flashback*

"Hey, Priyanka aunty wanted this thali....for Sona's griha pravesh." Kabir said as he handed Meera a pooja thali.

"Oh thanks, I was just coming to get this." Meera said. Kabir then noticed that she was wearing the butterfly necklace.

"You're wearing the necklace." Kabir stated with a smile.

"Of course...you're just now noticing? Its so pretty, I've had it on ever since you gave it to me, and Ill never take it off."

*Flashback End*

"Meera had this on....how is it on the floor?"

Ring! Ring!

Hearing a phone ring, Kabir looked around and followed the sound to the hall outside of Meera's room where he found a phone on the ground under the table.

"Her phone is here too...whats going on? I hope...Meera isnt in some type of trouble." Kabir started getting a sinking feeling in his heart and quickly went downstairs, looking in all the rooms along the way.

"Kabir..." Anika walked upto him, her smile dropping when she didnt see Meera, "Where is Meera?"

"Woh..." Kabir saw how concerned Anika was and just couldnt tell her, "Meera is just coming aunty."

"Oh ok." Anika smiled in relief. Kabir then went towards Shivaay who was talking to Omkara & Siddharth.

"Shivaay uncle..I need to talk to you." He said in a lowly.

"Haan...2 mins." Shivaay said and turned back to Om & Sid.

"I dont have 2 minutes!" Kabir said raising his voice. Everyone looked at him with a questioning look, "Im sorry...but Shivaay uncle, this is important Pls come."

"What happened Kabir?" Shivaay asked as Kabir pulled him to one side. He then told Shivaay everything and showed Meera's phone and necklace to him.

"How is that possible? Meera was just here a minute ago."

"I dont uncle but I looked everywhere & I cant find Meera." Kabir replied.

"What!" They turned around to see Anika standing there panic stricken, "Wh-what do y-you mean you cant find Meera? You said she was coming down."

"Aunty...I..." Kabir looked down.

" Meera went to her room right? How could she go missing from there? You didnt look properly...Ill go get her." Anika said and went upstairs.

"Anika wait..." Shivaay called after her.

"SSO? What happened to Di?" Sahil asked.

"Meera is missing."

"What?"

"Par Bade Papa, Meera just went upstairs...how can she be missing?" Dev asked, "She might be in the house....we'll go look for her."

Everyone spread out to look in the house while Priyanka, Bhavya & Neha stayed with the elders.

"CCTV....Ill go check the CCTV." Shivaay said.

"Ill come too." Ranveer replied. Shivaay, Ranveer & Om went to the CCTV room and opened the door.

"Oh god!" They looked on in shock as the two security guards who usually sit there were lying on the ground covered in blood. Ranveer approached them and check the pulse on both of them before shaking his head.

"Shivaay Bhaiyya....they're dead."

"Cameras are off too." Om started typing something on the computer, "YNothing was recorded the whole day...Shivaay?"

Om & Ranveer turned to see Shivaay stumble backwards against the hallway wall.

"Shivaay..." Om went to him.

"Who...who did this? Where is Meera?"

"Shivaay sir." Khanna said as he approached his boss.

"hmm."

"Sir woh...Harman and Param went somewhere-."

"Are you crazy?" Shivaay glared at Khanna, "Here my daughter is missing, two security guards are dead...and you are worried about servants...really?"

"Nahi sir...I just wanted to say...."

"KHANNA!" Shivaay yelled, scaring Khanna. "Just go."

"Shivaay..." Om held Shivaay's shoulder to control him, "Khanna, go for now.."

Meanwhile...

"Meera! Meeru?" Anika ran into Meera's room and looked around.

"Jiji..." Gauri & Mallika ran into the room behind her.

"Chutki....where is Meera? She should be here na? How can she go missing form inside the house? I-"

Ting! Ting!

Anika looked at her phone and saw that she got a msg from an unknown number.

"Whose number is this?" Anika opened the msg and saw that someone had sent a video so she started it.

*Video*

A dark room with one small light hanging from above is seen. Meera ...still wearing the same clothes from the wedding is bound and tied to a chair with tape around her mouth.

"Mmm! MMmnn!" Meera tried screaming and struggled to get loose.

"SHUT UP!" A man (Whose back is to the camera) smacks Meera across the face making her fall over with the chair unconscious.

*Video Ends*

"Meera!" Anika screams as she sees her daughter being slapped. "Shi-shivaay! SHIVAAY!"

Anika yells out for Shivaay and runs out of the room with her phone. Gauri & Mallika close behind her.

"Shivaay!" Anika yells, in tears as she sees Shivaay standing with Om & Ranveer. "Shiv-"

"Anika!" Shivaay concerned grabs Anika by the shoulder, "What happened...why are you crying?"

"Bhabhi are you okay?" Om asks.

"Woh...Me-Meera...phone....vid-video." Anika manages to get out and hand the phone to him. Shivaay watched the video, his eyes widen and he starts panicking as he sees the state Meera is in.

"Who sent this? Anika..who sent this video to you?" Shivaay asks. Breaking down, Anika just shakes her head and sobs unable to respond.

"Bade...bade bhaiyya, its an unknown number." Gauri who is also crying answers.

"Haan Shivaay..just now, Anika got this msg on her phone." Mallika added.

"Shivaay bhaiyya, give me the phone...Ill try and get it traced." Ranveer spoke up. Shivaay handed the phone to Ranveer when he saw that Anika had stopped crying and was staring behind Shivaay in shock. Gauri & Mallika looked where Anika was looking and gasped.

"Th..th...th-these two.." Anika pointed to the two dead security guards with shaking hands. "The...person who has M-Meera...did..th..this?"

As Shivaay nodded, Anika started to hyperventilate and her eyes rolled back.

"Anika!" Shivaay caught her as she went unconscious.

"Jiji/ Bhabhi!" Gauri & Om yelled.

"Anika...Anika open your eyes. Shivaay tapped Anika's cheeks trying to wake her up."

"Bhaiyya, you take care of bhabhi....I'll get the whole police force to look for Meera." Ranveer said. After he left, Shivaay picked Anika up and went to his room.

"I'll go...tell everyone about the video." Mallika went downstairs as Gauri & Om followed Shivaay. Inside the room, Shivaay sat by an unconscious Anika with his head resting on his hands.

"Shivaay....control yourself." Om said as he saw tears in Shivaay's eyes.

"How...how do I control myself? Somebody came into Oberoi Mansion, killed two guards...and kidnapped Meera." Shivaay said, his voice breaking, "They killed two military trained security guards....and they have my daughter.....Ive never felt so helpless Om."

"Shivaay...I understand...I understand everything" Om comforted Shivaay, "but for the sake of the family...for bhabhi's sake...you need to be strong."

"Haan bade bhaiyya...if you breakdown like this then who will take care of Jiji?" Gauri cried.

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

Location: Unknown

A man comes toward Meera and lifts the chair up so she is sitting up, after ripping off the tape, he splashes Meera's face with cold water waking her up.

"Mmm." Meera blinked as her eyes slowly adjusted to her surroundings. When she finally saw the face of her kidnapper, she looked surprised, "Abdul!"

"Im here too." Another man said as he stepped out from the shadows.

"Faisal....you kidnapped me? But how?" The two brothers looked at each other and smirked.

"It was easy. Your father doesnt check servats backgrounds properly enough..." Abdul replied while Faisal picked up a fake beard and mustache and put it on.

"Those two new servants...you were them?"

"Bingo!" Faisal said.

"If you think, you can get away with this....big mistake....my Papa will not leave you! And forget Papa...just let me get loose and see what I do to you!" Meera yelled as she pulled against the ropes. Furious Abdul got up and grabbed Meera by her hair pulling. "Aah!"

"Hey....how dare you....you are gonna threaten me....Abdul bhai? Ill-"

"ENOUGH!" A woman's voice yelled. "Leave her."

Abdul let go of Meera with a shove and looked annoyed.

"Did you forget what Svetlana di said? Until Oberoi's property and business becomes ours, she should not be harmed at all." Another woman said. Meera looked at the two older women confused.

"Who are you guys?"

"Oho....Saumya we completely forgot. Meera Shivaay Singh Oberoi was raise by her mother....she doesnt know about the enemity between Oberois and Kapoors." Svetlana said, "Let me introduce us, I am Svetlana Kapoor and this is my sister Saumya Kapoor...Your family's biggest enemy."

"You are that person who tried to take over Oberoi Industries?"

"Haan...and you are the person who stopped me. That day, I didnt understand why a strange would help the Oberois then I found out that you are Shivaay and Anika's daughter." Svetlana replied as she sat down on a couch with her legs crossed.

"Thats when we made the plan to kidnap you. Making you our  leverage to take everything from your family." Saumya added. "After all the man who can do anything for his family can of course give us his property for his own daughter right?"

"You people are crazy!" Meera yelled, "Nothing like that will happen...I wont let it happen!"

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Svetlana got up and walked upto Meera, the sound of her heels loudly clacking against the wooden floor. Leaning down, Svetlana mockingly pet her head, "You poor thing....you have no idea who you are dealing with....(smirk).... first get out..then you can do something na?"

Meera shrugged Svetlana's hand off of her head and glared at her.

"You are the one who has no idea who they are dealing with....just ask these two." Meera said nodding towards Abdul & Faisal.

"We dont need to know." Svetlana replied with a chuckle, "We just care about the Oberoi's property...once that is ours, we will leave these two brothers to deal with you."

Terror washed over Meera as she looked at Abdul and Faisal who were giving her a sinister look.

"What happened?" Svetlana asked, "Scared?"

"Oof ho Di, why wouldnt she be scared? She isnt an idiot, she must have realized, these two wont leave her alive." Saumya laughed. Composing her self, Meera looked them in the eyes defiantly.

"Laugh all you want right now....because my Papa will find me and you all will go to jail."

"Will you shut u-" Faisal stepped forward to hit Meera but Svetlana held him back.

"Faisal...let it go. Her saying it wont make it the truth. Let alone finding her, Shivaay will never see her face again....and we wont be going to jail...so just let her say whatever she wants." Svetlana said, "Lets go."

After they all left the room, Meera looked around for something..anything she could use to get free but found nothing.

"Aah!" Meera screamed as she tried to get loose, red marks forming where the rope rubbed against her skin. As tears formed in her eyes, she blinked them away. "No...dont Meera...dont. You are not this weak. You cant cry, you cant give them that satisfaction. Papa will come...nothing will happen to you."

Meera looked around again, while still struggling against the ropes, "But there isnt even a window here...I dont know wher I am, how will Papa find me? And what iff Papa gives everything to these people? No no no...I cant let that happen... Pls bhagwanji...help me...PLS."

"..once that is ours, we will leave these two brothers to deal with you."

"Let alone finding her, Shivaay will never see her face again."

 "..she must have realized, these two wont leave her alive."

"Save me please..." Meera whispered, tears running down her face, "Mumma."

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

Location: Oberoi Mansion

"Meera!" Anika woke up calling for her daughter.

"Anika! You're awake." Shivaay, who was sitting right beside her said.

"Shivaay...did you find out anything?" Anika asked hopefully.

"Not yet. We didnt even get a ransom call yet."

"W..wh..what...if..they do som..something to Me-" Anika looked at Shivaay terrified.

"No...no Anika." Shivaay held Anika's face, "Dont think like that. Nothing will happen to Meera."

"Shivaay...I want my daughter back. Pls bring her back...pls.." Anika buried her face in Shivaay's chest sobbing, "Please Shivaay....find her."

"I will...I will." Shivaay wrapped his arms around Anika and rested his chin on her head, "I wont let anything happen to her...You remember what I am right? The Great Wall of Shivaay. I will find Meera and bring her back home safe & sound. This is Shivaay Singh Oberoi's promise."

********

"Mumma.." Pihu cried as she clutched onto Gauri, "Nothing will happen to Di na?"

"Nahi..nothing will happen. Bade bhaiyya is there right? Your Bade Papa...will find your Di." Gauri replied to which Kabir scoffed. "What Kabir?"

"Shivaay uncle will find her? When exactly? Because for the past 3 hours, he has been upstairs."

"What the hell Kabir....what are you saying?" Dev protested while everyone looks at Kabir in shock.

"Leave Shivaay uncle...why is no one else doing anything?" Kabir asked, ignoring Dev. "Gauri aunty you have a double relation with Meera right? You are her Maasi & her Chachi...you are also just sitting around."

"Kabir...its not like that..we all-"

"You all what? You are doing nothing... you know what? Forget it. I will find Meera by myself." Kabir got up from the couch and left the room with Dev following him.

"Kabir!"

"Ill go talk to him too." Jai tells everyone and follows behind. Outside, Dev catches up to Kabir and turns him around by his arm.

"What was that? How can you talk to my Mom like that?" Dev asked angrily.

"Guys...dont fight. This isnt the right time." Jai said.

"Tell him that! As if we dont care about Meera at all...You really think we like sitting at home? Who kidnapped Meera, why, where is she...we dont know anything! Ranveer uncle has his entire plice force looking for her, Bhavya Chachi is talking to her old sources....Its not like we arent doing anything dammit!" Dev yelled."You are acting like you are the only one who cares about her, like you know her for so many years."

"Well you dont know her for that many years either. You just recently found out she is your sister." Kabir replied.

"Guys!" Jai tried to intervene.

"Yeah, we dont know her for many years...but at the end of the day, she is our sister...whats your relation to her?"

"I love her okay! I love her alot!"As Kabir shouted, Dev & Jai just froze and stared at him. Sighing, Kabir closed his eyes, "Im sorry....I know I shouldnt have talked to aunty like that. Honestly, Im more angry at my self then anyone else. Ive never felt this way about anyone...and when she need me the most, Im completely useless. I dont know where she is...if she is okay or not...I hate this feeling...I just hate it! She was upstairs...just upstairs. Someone kidnapped her from inside the house and I didnt even know."

"Its not your fault Kabir..." Dev put his hand on Kabir's shoulder to comfort him, "None of us realized when Meera got kidnapped."
