Chapter-80

The door bell rang while Priya was descending the stairs. The maids hurried to the door and Priya looked at a very tired Jhanvi entering inside with sleeping Sanya and Vansh.

Priya frowned. It was very unlikely for the kids to sleep at this odd hour. It just seven and they are already asleep?

She rushed to them and picked one from Jhanvi who seemed like she was weighing some dumbbells.

"They are asleep?" She asked to which Jhanvi nodded.

She first met Jhanvi at Vanya's place when the latter came for some business purpose.

She like Jhanvi but she is so timid that Priya never got chance to get close to her.

"They kind off had a tired day." Jhanvi said with a small smile.

"And looks like you had too." Priya said looking at Jhanvi's tired face to which she just shrugged and smiled.

"Office work."

"Actually, I was coming to get you three. Abhay called Surya and he said that we can. So I was coming to get you. Go wash your hands, I will take them to Diya's room. I cooked Aalo Paratha."

"Actually, I have some work-"

"What? Who are they?" they both heard Abhay's voice along with his foot steps and he glanced at Priya first and then at Jhanvi.

"Dont allow them. "

"Ms. Arora are you expecting any visitors?" Abhay's question caught her off gaurd.

"Yes." She said blankly and Priya watched. She immediately exchanged a glance with her husband.

"Oh, they are making a fuss outside the community. Please have a check and tell them that this private community and outsiders are not allowed." Abhay said in a polite voice.

"Sure Mr. Rathod. Sorry for inconvenience. Please allow them." saying so she placed Vansh on the couch and kissed his forehead. She smiled at Priya and kissed Sanya's head who further snuggled into her neighbour's arms. Abhay in the mean time tried contacting the security outside.

"Please take care of them. And don't tell anyone that they are here. If anyone comes and asks you about them, tell them that they went to Hyderabad this evening to their grandparents."

" Jhanvi by any chance are you in come trouble?" Priya asked and Jhanvi looked at her for a moment before giving her a full blown smile.

"Not at all. Just take care. I have to go."

Saying so she left the Rathod couple making them wonder.

"Dont you think something is off?"

"Yeah."

"Mumma Kabir is not eating capsicum"

Priya sighed and looked at Abhay with her nose scrunching.

" Why is he so you?"

"What do you want me to do if he is not doing good?"

"This is waste of discussion. Let's make them sleep in Diya's room. Kabir will cry if he sees Sanya in his room"

"So true, I am proud of this girl that she knows how to shut his mouth exactly!"

On the other hand Jhanvi hurried to Vanya's place and asked the servants to leave early. Since the security is a little far in the mean time she can get things done.

She hurried to her handbag and took off her jwellery except for her watch.

"Woah, we are met with quite a sight." Jhanvi turned to see a man and her breath hitched..

And even before she can think anything...

"Where are the kids?" that was the first question.

"They were sent to their grandparents."

A slap echoed in the room. She clenched her hands tight.

"We had information that they were here. With you!"

"The neighbours were cleaning their place and asked me to baby sit their kids."

Another slap.

"Will you tell me or not!"

"Lakshman! We have all the time in world with that girl. So drag her out and let's leave before the neighbours come here."

"Who the fuck are these neighbours now?" that man hissed.

"Abhay Rathod. He is a very famous business man, don't touch him! He have connections that can destroy our entire clan. He have links with both Mafia and Police so beware. It won't take him a snap to kill us and expose us! Don't touch him. We will get that kids either by hook or crook. Let's leave before Surya comes.

Wait! Something is off, why there is no securit-"

Even before he can complete his sentence his mobile rang.

"We are wasting time. Let's leave first."

"But she is not the one we need!"

"It is always good to have a back up."

Saying so they dragged Jhanvi to the car.

Jhanvi glanced back at the place and silently followed them.

Once seaten in the car, she only hope one thing... Only one thing.

Soon she found herself in place where they binded her eyes and tied her hands.

They took her to some place and some other men dragged her to a jeep.

A day passed and nothing changed except for them constantly giving her water. The car is always on motion and they didn't even stop anywhere. Her throat is dry and hands are aching. Head is heavy and stomach is rumbling with hunger. She don't know where they are heading to since no one spoke much.

Suddenly the car stopped. After dragging her somewhere, her blinds were taken off but they still tied her hands.

"Look who we have here!"

"Your daughter-in-law is beautiful!"

"Must say my son got some taste."

Jhanvi had hard time adjusting her eyes.

Once opened she looked at one man and instantly recognised him as Surya's uncle and the other... He kinda looked familiar but she doesn't know who he is.

"Dhruv didn't tell you did he?" he laughed hard at her more puzzled face.

"Iam Dhruv's father."

"Hello father."

Jhanvi turned her back to look at the source but the men holding her didn't let her and pushed her forward.

It just took them couple of minutes before the whole place was stopped with police sirens and everyone there looked petrified?

Surya soon came inside with a police officer trailing.

Surya looked at his uncle who still haven't gotten out of shock.

"I won't ask you the reason. But I will personally make sure you will pay for your sins and I don't care what your intentions are even!"

Those were the words Surya uttered before police dragged his uncle away.

Jhanvi leaned against the wall and looked at Dhruv who is talking to that police and Surya.

And as if sensing her eyes he looked up at her and she grinned to which he didn't say anything. .

Excusing himself from the two he walked towards her and in a swift motion before grabbing her by neck and pushing her into the wall. His grip firm yet not enough to hurt her.

"Hello to you too Mr. Shergill."

He increased the grip and joined his forehead to her's. "You are such an asshole." he mumbled.

"Have to train myself so since I get to live with all my life."

Their cheeky talk got interrupted when a they heard a throat clearing sound and looked at the police man.

"All thanks to you Ms. It was such a brilliant idea to connect your location with my mobile. That having your watch location connected is really..!! Fantastic. If it weren't for you then these criminals would have never been caught!"

" Thank you Mr. Sinha. Without your help. This wouldn't had been happened."

"Yeah right, it would had been great if you informed me Prior Arjun. We were scared to shits!" Dhruv said making him chuckle.

"Well we didn't know whether whatever Adwait said was true so as soon as he talked to Jhanvi she reached out to me. After discussing everything, we all were kind of not confirmed that whatever he said was true. But as soon as you guys left they tried to enter in your home. So Jhanvi said that she will connect her watch's location with my mobile so we can track her wherever she go. And I suspected without the kids they might use her as a back up and we both were right. They are caught! " Arjun said with a small smile.

"How do you know eachother though?"

That was genuine question for Surya.

" His wife Aranya Sinha is our legal advisor." Jhanvi said and the others nodded.

Just as they were about to talk, Arjun got a phone call from his wife and he left to attend it. Surya watched the man go.

Totally three members are involved and Arjun promised them a personal revenge. Though he could not directly do anything to them, going legally is fine too.

One is his uncle, two is Dhruv's dad and the third is Adwait. Adwait is dead and his body is taken care off.

Everything is clear now. He can hope just for one thing. That to heal all of them from this trauma and for his wife who is admitted in hospital to wake up so that they can celebrate the win of theirs.

Her smiling face imprinted in his mind. A call took his attention and looking at his father's number he lifted it immediately.

"Hello Dad."

"Vanya went missing."

When everything ends something new starts.

Only less than five updates left for the book to get completed.

In next Chapters we will get to know about who actually killed Adwait's family.

I know this book has so many answers to get like how, why and when but I leave for you guys to conclude that. Any questions? Then comment or dm me. I will try to clear that.

Double update!!!

Love-Anya ❤️
