Chapter 43
Rehaan's P.O.V
She said yes! This is the best day of my life. I mean, I knew that she was going to marry me anyway but asking her and she saying yes on her will is just amazing. It feels great. After we ordered our food, I was going to ask her if she liked the ring but my phone started ringing. The caller ID showed Bethany. God. This woman. "Hello?" she said when I answered the call.
"What is it?" I asked coldly. "Rehaan, I know you don't want to talk to me but this is purely regarding work." She said. I rolled my eyes. "Do you not remember? The deal is canceled." I said. "Oh I know. But it's not entirely my company Rehaan. It's my father's. And he hasn't done anything to you. I have. Don't break the deal because of your personal life. And your father wants to talk to you. Maybe you should call him and then reply to me." She said.
What? Dad? I cut the call and told Ahana that it's work and I can't neglect it and came outside and called my dad.
"Hello? Papa? Bethany called and she spoke about the deal which I had canceled and she asked me to talk to you. What's going on?" I asked.
He told me that Mr Lloyd had contacted him and apologized about Bethany and had pleaded not to break the deal.
"Son, come home right now. This deal is important to us too." He said. "I can't dad. I'm with Ahana right now." I replied.
"I'm sorry son but you have to come. The Lloyds' are right here. Bring Ahana with you if you don't want to leave her alone." He said. I sighed, "Why can't we just let this deal go? We'll have better offers dad."
"Son, every deal is important. I know we aren't on the best terms with the Lloyds' but what they're offering is something we cannot look past." He advised.
I thought for a few seconds. "Don't let personal life affect your professional life." He said.
"Fine. I'll come. I'm bringing Ahana with me." I said. "Okay son. She can talk to Aisha while we're discussing." He said. I agreed and cut the call. I looked at my watch. Damn. I've been talking for half an hour. I screwed up. I hope Ahana isn't mad at me. I went in and saw that our table was empty. Where did Ahana go?
I went and asked the waiter who took our order if he had seen Ahana anywhere. "Yes sir. After you left, this man came to Madam and told her something. She got up and left with him. I didn't see her after that." He said.
What?! "Which man?!" I asked. I started panicking. This isn't settling well with me. Ahana isn't someone who'll just leave like that. She would've informed me.
"I don't know sir." The waiter said. I read his nametag, Gopal. I called Ahana but she never picked up. I tried four times but in vain.
I then called Mr Chauhan. "Hello? Rehaan beta?" he said. "Yes Uncle. It's me. I just wanted to know if uhm you picked up Ahana?" I asked nervously.
"Pick up Ahana? No I haven't. Rehaan, is everything okay?" he asked, concern evident in his voice.
"Ye-yes Uncle. Everything is fine. Uncle, Can I talk to you in a while?" I asked. "Okay son. Are you sure everything is fine Rehaan? Where is Ahana?" He asked. Oh god. I can't lie. But I can't tell him the truth either.
"Un-uncle, she's with Sanjog. He just texted me." I lied. I have to call Sanjog now. "Oh okay son." "I'll talk to you later uncle." I said and cut the call. It might to be rude but my main priority right now is Ahana.
I turned back to the waiter, "Gopal, I might need your help so when I ask you to tell whatever you've told me, you have to speak okay?" I said. He nodded and showed me where he had seen her last. It was right outside the café.
"Excuse me?" I heard a voice behind me. It was a man. "I couldn't help but listen to your conversation. I saw the girl, she left with a man and they went left in his car." He said.
I'm having a very bad feeling about this. Oh god. I took out my phone and showed him a picture of Ahana. "Is this the girl you saw?" I asked worriedly. He looked at the picture and nodded. "Yes, that's her. They went left." He said.
"Okay. Thank you sir. May I know your name?" I asked in a hurry. "You have better things to do son. Go find her." He said. My mind was stuck on where Ahana might be.
I ran towards my car and went left, like the man had said. I searched everywhere but I couldn't find her. I tried calling her again. More than six times but she didn't pick up. My phone started ringing and I immediately picked up hoping it would be Ahana.
"Rehaan! What is going on?! Ahana's father called me and asked me if Ahana was with me. I said no and that she was with you. You told him she was with me?!" Sanjog yelled.
Oh crap. I had forgotten to call Sanjog. "Sanjog. Ahana is missing. I'm not able to find her. I'll tell you the details in a while. But listen to me, I'm going to call the police and then talk to you. Don't tell anyone yet. Tell Mr Chauhan because I can't hide it anymore. But don't tell anyone else." I said.
"Oh god. Okay bhai (brother), dad tried calling you but it always said engaged. So I'll tell only Mr Chauhan the truth right? No one else. Also, please keep me updated. Mujhe thoda dar lag raha hai (I'm a little afraid). Aur han! (And yes!) I wanted to tell you that Lloyds' are here and bhai mujhe thoda gadbad lag raha hai (I feel something's up) Bethany kept smirking and looking at her phone." He said.
"...You're not joking right?" I asked. "No bhai. I wanted to call you and tell you to be a little careful because she looked a little scary." He said seriously.
Everything makes sense now. She calling, asking me to talk to dad. I was getting angrier and angrier by the second.
I fished out my phone and dialed Bethany's number. "Yes Rehaan?" she asked. I could hear the smugness in her voice. "Where is she?" I asked angrily. "Who?" She asked. "Don't play around with me Bethany. Where is Ahana?" I asked, more like yelled.
She chuckled. "Why are you asking me? Aren't you her fiancé?" She was deliberately getting on my nerves. "Where have you taken her?" I asked.
"I haven't even seen her yet." She said. "Yet." I whispered. "You said you haven't seen her yet. Which means you were going to see her. Tell me the truth Bethany. If you harm one hair on her head, I will kill you." I said. I couldn't control my anger. I wanted to punch somebody right now.
"Well, you know now so what's the point hiding eh?" she said. "Yea she's with me. And my partner. You want her Rehaan? Well, I'll ask you one thing and you give to me and I let her free." She said. Her audacity angered me even more.
"Are you blackmailing me? You do know what I can do to you right?" I said, rage running through my veins.
"Oh Rehaan, there are so many things that you can do to me. But right now, you just listen to me. And I know you will. Because you want that whore free" she said non chalantly.
"Don't talk about her." I said in a very cold tone. My whole demeanor had changed. I couldn't recognize myself right now.
"I won't just talk Rehaan. Did I mention my partner is a man? A man who's attracted to Ahana? Sexually, might I add." She said.
I took a deep breath to calm myself even though I knew it wouldn't work. "Where should I come?" I asked. She gave me the address and then said, "Oh and don't even think of calling the police. If you do, I'll go down but your little innocent fiancée won't really remain so innocent anymore. Neither will someone else." She said and cut the call.
Who else is she talking about!? I texted Sanjog and told him that I'll find Ahana and that he doesn't have to worry. I saw that Bethany had sent me a video. My fingers shook a little while I pressed the play button.
Ahana. My Ahana. I had tears in my eyes when I saw Ahana in the video. She was made to sit on a sofa but her hands were tied. So were her legs. I could see she was struggling. Suddenly a man appeared in front of her. I could hear her muffled screams when she saw him. I started panicking. I didn't want to see any more of the video. But I had to. He touched her. Her face, her arms, her waist. He kissed her cheek. Tears were rolling down her eyes. I couldn't bear it. But suddenly he turned around and smirked. He pulled the camera and went to the other side of the room. Another girl was tied there. Her back was facing the camera. He slowly moved closer to her. And my blood froze at the sight.
She has Aisha too.
