Sanyukta groans due to a throbbing pain in the back of her head, she tries to open her eyes but all she saw was darkness

Sanyu-hello!!!! Anyone there....why am I here?

But only the echo of her voice replied, she tries to touch the back of her head and that's when she realizes that both her hands and legs were tied. And she remembers everything.

She was holding the phone hearing rd calling the police but suddenly the door knob rattles and her breath quickens, her hold on the phone tightens, the rattling stops and she makes the mistake of breathing a sigh of relief and the door bursts open and a big, stout man with a long beard and a beanie on his head comes to her and grabs her by her wrist and sanyukta screams at the top of her voice which only resulted in getting hit by something hard and everything went black

A tear rolls down her eyes

Sanyu-r-randhir

-----------------------------@-------------------------------

Randhir reaches the sanyal mansion only to find the guards beaten up and lying unconscious near the gate, his heart was running a marathon, he reaches the door and runs out of his car

Rd-SANYUKTA!! SANYUKTA!!!!

He enters the living room which was perfectly fine, he rushes up the stairs and into his room and that's where the mess was, his table lamp was knocked out, his sheets were messed up and her phone lying near the end of the bed, clearly the signs of struggle, but suddenly his eyes fall on his dressing table mirror, on which was written

We don't need the girl.....give us the boy and take the girl back!!!!

A shiver runs down his spine due to the fact that it was written in red, and he doesn't want to believe that it was blood, more specifically sanyukta's blood

Rd-AAAAAA, RAJEEV I WILL KILL YOU

He shouts out of frustration.....

Soon after the police arrives and starts inspecting

SI-Mr.Shekhawat...do you have any idea what could that message mean?

Rd-its Rajeev Mehra, they want samar, sanyukta's brother because of whom their company might not remain theirs for long

SI-and where is mr. samar shekhawat

Rd-he is out with my uncle, doing paper work for his departure to New York, for studies

SI-did you inform them?

Rd nods and they hear a car stopping and enters Harsh Shekhawat and the SI stands up and gives a slight nod which harsh acknowledges with the same action

Rd looks up at his father and then turns away because something within him wanted to confine in his father

Harsh-gentlemen, if you could excuse me and my son for a minute

The officers nod and leave to question the guards who has gained consciousness and harsh sits next to rd

Harsh-I have appointed my personal team on this and we might have some clue on it

Hearing that rd turns to look at his father

Rd-H-how?

Harsh gives a faint smiles and caresses rd's hair

Harsh-you might have forgotten the promise that I made with you but I never forget the promises I make

Rd looks at his father confused and then he remembers the promise his father made to him in return for a hug, before he left for New York, with an intention of not coming back

Rd looks down

Rd-thank you, can I, may be,talk to your team

Harsh-so that you can run in search of your girlfriend without any guards, no I am sorry rd....let them do their work and find out

Rd-and what should I till then dad, sit here waiting for others to do something to find her, no I won't, if you cant help me then I will help myself

Saying that he was about to leave the room but harsh stops him

Harsh-rd, I know what you are feeling but let me tell you, here we cant just act on our insticts, we need to use our brain...

But before he could complete rd's phone rings and he frowns at the unknow number flahing on his screen

Rd-hello

Sanyu(crying)-rd...r-rd

He stands up from where he was sitting

Rd-sanyukta, sanyukta where are you

But before he could hear sanyukta say anything more, he hears someone laughing like a maniac

Rd-who is that....i swear to god, I will find you and tear you to shreds

Rajeev-awww.....such a nice husband you have my dear ex-wife

Rd hears sanyukta cry

Rd-RAJEEV!!!!! Don't you dare touch her

Now everyone was back to the hall, hearing all the screaming and police tells him to put it on speaker and rd was now fuming

Rajeev-listen here hero, I don't need this piece of trash, I only need that boy, bring him and take this thing with you

Rd hears sanyukta shout from the background

Sanyu-rd....no, don't....please keep samar safe

But then a sound of slap resounds, silencing her

Rajeev-shut the hell up, you bitch

Rd clenches his fist

Rajeev-the choice is yours, sanyukta or samar

With that the line went dead

In his frustration, rd knocks everything that was in front of him, he couldn't stand the fact that sanyukta was with someone who could harm her in any way

Rd-if you people are just going to stand here and do nothing, then I will find her myself

Rd runs out of the door and everyone was calling out to him, but when he was about to enter the car, a hand stops him, he turns to look at karan who was holding onto the car door to stop him from leaving and right behind him was their whole group

Karan-where are you going, rd

Rd runs his hand down his face and looks up at karan and finally lets himself cry for which karan decides to hide rd's head on his shoulder as if stopping others from seeing him like that

Karan-go inside guys, let me talk to rd

The rest of them who were shocked to see their strong rd sir break down like this just nod and walk inside the house

Rd-karan, sanyukta

Karan makes him look at him

Karan-I know......but what were you going to do rd, are you stupid enough to act on your impulse? By doing this you could put her life in danger

Rd-but she is already in danger karan.

Karan-no, nothing will happen to her as long as we have samar, they need him and they know, to get to samar they must protect sanyukta.

Rd-karan, I promised them that I would protect them but I failed, I failed them karan

Saying that he goes and sits on the doorway stairs and cups his face in his hands, karan sighs and sits next to him

Karan-rd you didn't fail anyone and can you stop being an emotional mess and try to think straight....we need your brain here....we need you to think logically here..please..sanyukta needs you.

Rd looks at karan and realizes that his best friend was right, he should keep his calm if he needs his sanyukta unharmed, Rd wipes his tears

Rd-you are right karan, I am being foolish right now

Karan-thank god, now will you please drop this devdas act and start being the james bond

Rd gives a soft smile and both of them enter the house once again and rd was swarmed by his former students

Parth-sir are you ok

Vids-bhai we will bring sanyu back

Jiggy-yes sir, parth bhai can fight anyone

Parth-yes sir, I will break everyone's bone you want

To the outsides it looked like a bunch of children trying to impress their homeroom teacher on their first day

Rd(smile)-thank you so much guy...sanyukta will be very happy to know how much her friends love her, but for now lets wait for their next call

SI-yes Mr.Rd, we are tapping all your phones now and one of my teams is now at Mehra Industries, they will be questioning Mr and Mrs Mehra but we might not be able to do much since we don't have much evidence against

That's when samar and vd enter the house and samar,without any ado runs to rd and hugs him, his red eyes stating that he was crying

Rd-I am so sorry samar, I couldn't protect your sister

Samar-just find my di, sir please...don't let anything happen to her, I know you will find her

Rd-I will samar, I promise and I will not break this promise at any cost, pls don't cry

Rd wipes samar's tears

Vd-officer, here in this file we have all the proof that we need against the Mehra's, I have spent all my time off in collecting evidence against them but we'll have to wait a day more to use it against them

SI-why?

Rd-samar will turn 18 tomorrow which means aggarwal industries, now Mehra industries will be legally his

Natasha-and me and dev can be witnesses for what they did to sanyukta, we are her childhood friends and we know what they did to her

Vd-and this pen drive has a cctv footage of them planning the Aggarwal couple's murder, I got my hands on this yesterday, this is what I have been waiting for, to complete my findings and this file has all the illegal things that Rajeev Mehra have been doing under the name of Mehra industries

SI-these are more than enough to put them behind bar, now we need to get Ms. Sanyukta safe and arrest them, Mr. Shekhawat, next time when he calls, accept all his demands

And as if on cue, rd's phone rings, rd looks at the police office who gives him a thumbs up sign and rd

Rd-hello

Rajeev-so whats your decision

Rd-fine, you can have samar, I just want my sanyukta back

Rajeev-good good, that's a very wise decision, now....you alone will bring the boy to me near that old sugar factory and don't try to fool me with that little police friends of yours

Rd-no, only me and samar will be there and you will bring sanykta

Rajeev-good, come exactly at 2:30 am, not before not after...exactly at 2:30

Rd-we'll be there

With that Rajeev cuts the call and rd looks at everyone

Karan-did we track it?

SI who was talking on the phone shakes his head

SI-as expected, he is using a satellite phone or something, my team wasn't successfu

Parth- so now what?

SI-we wait

Rd-actually no, sir, may I listen to this conversation once

SI-sure

Rd wears the headphones and replays the conversation, he replays it again and again and after 10 minutes he jumps up from his seat and everyone looks at him

Rd-if we listen carefully, we can hear a faint sound of some music but I cant really understand what music it is

The SI listens to the conversation again

SI-you are right, but it could be anywhere, what can we do with just that

Natasha-let me hear it, once

She goes and listens to the recording twice and then her eyes shine

Natasha-I know this music, it's the music of a water park

Vids-but what kind of water park will be open at this time

Karan-there is only one water park which is open 24x7 and closes for a week every month for maintainance

Rd-that's perfect, now we only have to search the area around that theme for any abandoned building or something like that

SI-I'll send a team to go and search around those places

Parth-we can help too...we can split up and search to cover more grounds

SI-I don't think that's a good idea, let police do their work, I request you to stay put (turning to harsh) sir we will take your leave now and if we get any lead, we will let you know

Hasrh-thank you inspector

As soon as the inspector leaves they all start teaming up but harsh interrupts

Harsh-you heard the inspector

And that's when most of them feel the presence of the great businessman Harsh Singh Shekhawat and they all go silent

Rd-we cant just stand here waiting for them to get a lead, if any, atleast I cant

Harsh-its dangerous for you kids to go there into that environment

Rd-do you think that I care

The rest of them start feeling the awkwardness while karan just sighs

Karan-harsh uncle, I'll go with him and I promise that I will look after him

Harsh-and why do you think that I will let you go karan

Rd-I am leaving

Rd goes out while harsh just stands there looking at rd's retreating back without any expression on his face

Harsh-karan, take care of him and yourself

Karan-yes uncle

With that they all leave in search of sanyukta

-----------------------------@------------------------------

Sanyukta wakes up by a splash of ice cold water on her face, she slowly opens her eyes to come face to face with her worst nightmare

Rajeev-good news ex-wifey.......your husband agreed to trade your brother for you

He gives his ugly ass smile and sanyu looks at him shocked

Sanyu-no, rd will never do that

Rajeev(pouts)-awww.....looks like he is not getting the husband of the year award this time, coz he just agreed and once I get my hands on that little meat, I will cut him and you into pieces and may be that husband of yours as well

He laughs maniacally while leaving that room and sanyukta closes her eyes

Sanyu-rd, you better have a plan....dont give samar to him, pls

There you go guys
