Surya's POV

"Surya, aa folder theesukuni station nunchi bayatiki ra. Station munde oka bandi untundi. Aa bandi theesukoni Inorbit mallki vellu." he says the second I lift the call.

"Surya, take that folder and come out of the station. In front of the station, there is a car. Take the car and go to Inorbit mall." he says the second I lift the call.

"Sare." I say.

"Ok." I say.

I turn my Bluetooth on and put it in my ear and my phone in my pocket. Walking out of my room, I motion for Dhruva with my head to follow me. He nods and comes behind me silently.

"Nuvvu okkadive ra!" Arun yells. "Leda nee pellanni kuthurni champesta."

"You come alone!" Arun yells. "Or else I will kill your wife and daughter."

"Vadhu! Vaaliddarini vadileyi." I say.

"No! Leave them alone." I say.

I turn and shake my head no to Dhruva. He nod, understandingly and walks back into the station.

I cross the street and get into the car. Driving to Inorbit mall, I park the car in the spot he says, and take another car that was parked close to the mall. Taking that to the place he said, I follow his instructions. In all, he tells me to park cars in places in Hitech City, Begumpet, Basheer Bagh, Hussain Sagar, Kachiguda, Banjara Hills, Gachibowli, and Charminar.

"Akkada nunchi, nee leftlo oka gully untundi. Dantloki vellu." he says in Charminar.

"From there, there is a ally. Go in there." he says in Charminar.

I do as he says. He gives me other directions, and I end up in a dark alley. Suddenly, I feel a cloth over my head. The people grab the folder from my hand and I start to fight against them when they try tying my hands.

"Rey! Vaallu naa manushulu." Arun says.

"Hey! They are my men." Arun says.

I stop fighting against them, and they hit me to tire me out. I feel my lip bleeding after someone punches me in the mouth. After they had enough, they tie my hands behind my back, drag me and take me somewhere in a car.

****

After a while, the car stops and they make me get out of the car. We walk down stairs and take turns for a while when we stop. I feel the rope around my hands loosen, but I don't make a move, since I have no clue where I am or what's around me. The cloth is taken off my head as well, and the sudden brightness burns my eyes. Once my eyes adjust to the light, I find myself in a room. There is a large, winding staircase in one corner, and a bar type set up along a wall. The other wall has a bathtub.

In the middle of the room, I see Indhu, tied up to a chair. She has a cloth in her mouth, and she looks tired. She looks like she was injected with something. Her head is loose, and she seemed to be fighting sleep.

"Indhu!" I shout, but I am unable to move, because people are still holding me. I throw them off, and rush to Indhu, hurrying to untie her.

In the mirror in front of me, I see a few guys running up behind me. Turning around, I kick the first one down. The others, I easily fight through, punching, kicking. I rush back to Indhu, whose eyes are closed. I tap her cheek.

"Indhu! Indhu!" I say, tapping her cheek. Her eyes open. She is still fighting sleep, and I quickly work on her ties. I finish untying her. Suddenly, someone hits me on the head with a rod. My head starts spinning. I hear Indhu scream my name. Someone grabs me and I feel many hands holding my arms, restricting me from moving.  I see doubles of everything.

"Surya Sivakumar! Abba. Ninnu choosinappude anukunna ra. Champalani." A man walks down a long, winding staircase.

"Surya Sivakumar. Wow. I knew the second I saw you, that I wanted to kill you." A man walks down a long, winding staircase.

I shake my head, trying to clear up my vision. I begin to see properly.

Arun Kumar.

He walks over to Indhu, who is now standing, and caresses her cheek. She cringes.

"Entha andam. Paapam. Champalsivasthundi." he says.

"What a beauty. So sad. I have to kill her." he says.

He grabs her by her hair. She cries out in pain.

"Rey!" I shout. "Vaddu. Vaddu. Please."

"Hey!" I shout. "No. No. Please."

I struggle against the guys holding me, but my energy is not enough. I am too tired.

I hear a baby crying. Looking up, I see a guy holding a bundle.

"Nivi!" I yell.

"Vaddu. Please. Vallidarini em cheyyaku. Neeku aa file kavali. Ichesanu." I beg him.

"No. Please. Don't do anything to them. You wanted the file. I gave it to you." I beg him.

"Nuvvu naa thammudini champavu!" he shouts.

"You killed my younger brother!" he shouts.

"Rey. Please. Em cheyyaddu." I say.

"Hey. Please. Don't do anything." I say.

The guy holding Nivi walks over to the tub. He sets her in the tub, and turns the water on.

"Ey!" I shout.

"Hey!" I shout.

I manage to get enough energy to throw the guys holding me off me. I run towards the tub. Quickly turning off the tap, I grab nivi. Taking off the jacket I am wearing, I wrap it around her. Suddenly, I hear a loud scream.

I turn around and see Indhu, holding her stomach, a growing red spot beneath her hands.

"Indhu!" I yell. She drops to the floor, sprawled out. Arun gives me an evil look. Turning the knife around, he drops it. The knife goes into Indhu's stomach once again, and she gasps.

He is about to pull out a gun when I grab a rod closest to me and throw it at him. The gun drops out of his hand and he hits the bar counter. I run up to Indhu, Nivi in my left hand. I grab the gun next to her and shoot Arun, loading the entire magazine into his body.

Throwing the gun aside, I put Indhu in a half-sitting position, supporting her with my hand. She rests her back in the crook of my elbow.

"Indhu. Kallu theruchu." I urge.

"Indhu. Open your eyes." I urge.

"Surya..." she whispers.

"Indhu. Sorry Indhu." I cry.

She shakes her head.

"Nivini baga choosuko." she says.

"Take good care of Nivi." she says.

"Neekemkadu Indhu. Dhruva vachesthadu."

"Nothing will happen to you Indhu. Dhruva will be here."

I had told Dhruva to track my number and stay close to the area. He probably heard the gun shots by know.

Indhu grabs my shirt.

"Surya. Surya vinu." she says between gasps for air.

"Surya. Surya listen." she says between gasps for air.

"Indhu nuvvu emi matladadu."

"Indhu don't talk."

She shakes her head no and closes her fist around my shirt.

"Nenu eppudu cheppaledu. Cheppakunda pothe thattukolenu."

"I never said this. If I don't say this before dying, I can't bear it."

"Neekem kadu." I say. "Em kadu."

"Nothing will happen to you." I say. "Nothing will happen.?

She shakes her head no again.

"Surya. I love you..."
