It was the time of evening, and the police jeeps were passing by the forest road and were moving to their destination. In one jeep, Neil was sitting and he was worried for Avni. Neil wanted to reach Avni as soon as possible.

Suddenly, something stroke to his mind.

Neil: DD.

DD turned to Neil,

DD: yes, sir.

Neil: drone camera laya hai na?

DD: Yes, sir.

Neil: good. Location se thora pehle jeep rokna. Hum ase hi wahan nahi jaa sakte pehle humain yeh pata hona chahiye ke wahan kitne log hain aur situation kya hai wahan ki.

DD nodded.

DD: OK, Sir.

Neil nodded.

On the other side, four guards were walking to and fro outside the godown where Avni was tied in the vertical tank and the water was filling in it. Riya got up and went near the glass tank and she moved around it while keeping her hand on it. Ketan smiled and he kept his leg on the leg. Ketan sat with the attitude.

The police jeeps were standing at some distance from the godown. Neil and DD shifted to another jeep and they were sitting at the backside of it. A laptop was kept there. A drone was flying over the building. Neil and DD were watching the footage. DD was operating the drone.

DD: sir, yeh to koi godown lagta hai.

Neil: hmm.

They were watching the footage. They saw the guards walking there.

Neil: means char (04) guards godown ke bahar hain.

DD: Yes, sir.

Neil: DD, dihan se unhe shaq nahi hona chahiye.

DD nodded and said, ok, sir. They watched the footage and Neil rubbed his forehead and kept his hand on his lips.

Neil: DD, us side window lag rahi hai.

One guard saw the drone.

Man: yeh kya hai?

Man 2: drone hai. Yahan aas pass koi kaam chal raha hoga. Tu apna kaam kar.

The drone went to the window and Neil saw the drums of oil and boxes. They saw the guards. Ketan was sitting there. Neil got angry.

Neil: Ketan Mehta.

Neil looked for Avni,

Neil: Avni kahin dikh nahi rahi.

Neil held his lips and he spotted Riya near the tank. DD also saw her.

DD: Sir, Riya.

Neil nodded angrily.

Neil: means Riya bhi Ketan Mehta ke sath mili hoi hai… jaisa baap waisi beti.

Neil got angry.

Neil: Lekin, Avni kahan hai?

Neil tried to see and he felt something.

Neil: Riya, us tank ke pass kya kar rahi hai?

Neil was shocked.

Neil: Kahin Avni us main to nahi hai…

Neil was shocked. DD also got shocked.

Neil: DD, humain jaldi wahan jana hoga. Avni ki jaan khatre main hai.

DD nodded and DD took the drone back. He gave the remote to the man. They got down from the jeep and started the preparation. Neil loaded his gun and kept it in his belt. Neil kept another gun inside his shirt. Neil took another gun and loaded it.

On the other side, Riya was walking around the tank and she stopped. Riya smirked to see Avni whose head was only out of the water and her body was in the water. Riya knocked on the tank and Avni looked up. Riya smirked.

Riya waved her hand: Bye, bye.

Avni smiled and Riya’s smile faded.

Avni: main khud ko bohat lucky mehsos kar rahi hun kyun ke main suhagan is dunya se jaa rahi hun.

Riya was shocked.

Avni: Meri mang main Neil ke naam ka sindoor and gale main us ne naam ka magalsutra hai.

Riya was shocked.

Avni: tum jeet kar bhi haar gai aur main haar kar bhi jeet gai.

Riya got angry and Avni smiled. Riya hit her hand on the tank and Avni smiled. Riya turned and she went from there. Avni thinks.

On the other side, Neil came to the area and they got down from the jeeps. The guards were shocked to see them and the police force gathered them. They snatched the guns from them. Neil angrily looked at them. Some police officers stand there and some moved to the windows as per Neil’s order. Neil entered the godown with his team from the back door and some officers came from the front side. They were pointing the gun at them. Riya and Ketan were shocked and they got up from the chairs. They surrounded them. Neil was angrily looking at them. Neil turned his face and he was shocked to see Avni in the tank and she was completely in the water. Avni was struggling in the water.

Neil: Avni.

DD looked there and he was shocked. The policemen snatched the weapons from them. Neil ran to Avni and he touched the glass.

Neil: Avni. Avni.

Avni was struggling in the water.

Neil: Avni, tum fikar mat karo main agaya hun.

DD also came to Neil.

Neil: Tumhara Neil agaya hai main tumhe kuch nahi hone dunga. Hmm. Kuch nahi hone dunga tumhe. Kuch nahi hoga tumhe.

DD came forward and he stood near Neil.

Neil: DD. DD, kuch kar.

Neil looked around and DD also saw there. Neil held the glass tank’s upper side and he tried to climb it. DD helped him and Neil sat on the edge of the tank. He was not comfortable but he tried to balance himself. Neil tried to hold Avni and pulled her up. Neil was holding the tank with one hand and Avni with the second hand. Neil grinned his teeth while trying to take Avni up. Neil took Avni up who choked.

Neil: Avni, is tank ko pakro.

Avni saw there and she tried to hold the tank but her hand slipped. Avni again fell into the water but Neil was holding her and he took her up. This time, Avni held the tank with her left hand because her right hand was locked. Avni was panting. Neil frowned that why Avni is not keeping her second hand and then he saw her hand is handcuffed to the tank. Neil glared at Riya and Ketan.

Neil: Keys kahan hain?

Ketan: keys itni asani se nahi milengi. Pehle humain jane do.

Neil: Mere sabr ka imtihan mat lo. Key do.

Ketan: Kabhi nahi.

Neil took out his gun and shot Ketan’s leg. Ketan fell and Riya was shocked. DD was also shocked.

Neil: Key warna…

Neil was pointing the gun at Ketan.

Ketan: deta hun. Deta hun.

Ketan took out a key from his pocket and showed it to Neil.

Neil: DD, Key le kar aa.

DD nodded and he went to take the key. DD hurriedly came to Neil and gave key to Neil who tried to open the lock but he found difficulty. Neil grinned his teeth and he opened the lock. Neil kept Avni’s arm on the tank. Neil tried to take Avni out. Neil took Avni out with much difficulty. DD helped Neil. Neil jumped and stood up. Neil took Avni in his arms. Neil sat on the floor and Avni was in his arms who was unconscious. Neil tapped Avni’s face.

Neil: Avni, Avni open your eyes. Avni, Avni, utho. Avni, ankhain kholo. Avni. Avni.

Neil checked Avni’s pulse and he was shocked.

Something stroke in his mind. Neil lays Avni there and he started pressing her stomach. Avni spilled some water but she was still unconscious.

Neil again tapped Avni’s face.

Neil: Avni, Avni, akhain kholo yaar. Avni, utho, please.

Neil said while rubbing Avni’s hand: please, utho, Avni.

Neil again starts pressing Avni’s stomach. Avni spilled the water and she choked.

Neil: Avni.

Avni was coughing and Neil rubbed Avni’s back. Riya got angry. Avni stopped coughing and Neil was shocked to see Avni who was laying on her stomach. DD was also shocked.

Neil: Avni.

Neil held Avni’s arm, he turned Avni to him and took her in his arms. Neil tapped Avni’s face. Neil’s eyes got moist.

Neil: Avni, Avni, Avni, utho. Avni, open your eyes.

Neil got angry.

Neil: Avni, I am talking to you. Open your eyes. Avni, tum sun rahi ho. Utho.

Neil cried.

Neil: Avni, utho na yaar, akhain kholo. I am sorry, Avni.

Neil hugged Avni.

Neil: phir kabhi tumhe akala chor kar nahi jaonga ek akhri baar mujhe mauf kar do, Avni, pleeeease…

Neil cried. DD sat beside Neil and his eyes were teary. Neil was crying and Avni raised her hand. Dd got surprised and he smiled. Avni cupped Neil’s face. Neil opened his eyes and he saw Avni’s hand. Neil looked at Avni. Riya got angry.

Avni: Neil.

Neil broke the hug and he looked at Avni. Neil cupped Avni’s face.

Neil: han, han, Avni.

Avni cried.

Avni: Neil, Kaka.

Neil nodded.

Neil: Avni, han mujhe pata hai. Don’t worry, Ketan Mehta aur Riya dono humari grift main hain.

Avni cried and Neil hugged her.

Neil: don’t cry, Avni.

Neil broke the hug.

Neil wiped Avni’s face while saying: In ghatiya logon ke liye apne in motiyon ko waste mat karo.

Riya got angry and she looked here and there. She saw the gun in one police officer’s hand and she snatched it from him. Avni closed her eyes because she was weak. Neil was shocked to see Riya.

Riya: is Avni ne mera sab kuch barbad kar diya. Jail to main jaungi hi na to kyun na isay khatam kar ke hi jaun. Kam se kam tasali to hogi ke maine meri sab se bari dushman ko khatam kar diya.

Neil got angry. Riya was trying to press the trigger. Neil was shocked.

Neil: Riya, nahi.

Riya’s hands were shaking because she had never used a gun. The trigger was pressed and Neil caught Avni in his arms. Neil opened his eyes and looked at Avni. Neil checked Avni and she was all fine. Neil looked at Riya who was covered in blood. Neil was shocked and Avni opened her eyes. Avni was shocked to see Riya who fell on the floor and died. Avni was shocked. Neil caught Avni in his arms and hid her face in his chest. Neil saw a lady police officer who shoot Riya. Neil nodded.

Ketan was shocked.

Ketan: Riya.

Ketan pulled himself to Riya.

Ketan: Riya, Riya, utho, utho, mera bacha, utho.

Ketan cried.

Avni looked at Riya and she cried.

Neil: jo log dusron ke liye gada khodate hain woh aksar khud hi us main gir jate hain.

Neil looked at Avni who was crying, Neil turned Avni’s face to him and shook his head. Neil kissed Avni’s forehead and then he touched his forehead to Avni’s forehead. Neil looked at DD.

Neil: DD, main Avni ko le kar jaa raha hun she needs rest and treatment.

DD nodded.

Neil: tum yahan handle kar lena.

DD nodded and he said, yes.

Neil picked up Avni in a bridal style because Avni was not in a position to walk. Neil got up and took Avni from there.

It was the time of night, the roads were flowing with the vehicles. In the corridor of the hospital, Neil was sitting on the bench. The Khanna family came there with Dayawanti Mehta. They came to Neil who saw them and got up.

DM: Avni?

Neil signed at the room.

Neil: Andar hai, doctor check-up kar rahe hain.

Dayawanti Mehta saw there.

Neil: ab, Riya ki maut ho gai hai.

Prakash and Shweta nodded.

Prakash: DD se baat hoi thi humari us ne bataya.

Neil was looking at him.

Prakash: Lekin, DD ne kaha ke jab tum log wahan se nikle the tab Avni theek thi to phir Avni…

Neil was about to answer but he heard the sound of opening the door so, Neil turned his face and he turned when he saw the doctor who was coming out. The doctor came to Neil.

Neil: Doctor, Avni?

The doctor nodded.

Doctor: She is fine now, don’t worry.

Neil and others took a breath of relief.

Neil: thank God. Thank you, doctor. Thank you so much.

Doctor: it was my duty.

Neil smiled and he remembered something.

Neil: Lekin, doctor, Avni baar, baar faint kyun ho rahi hai.

Doctor: weakness ki waja se. Aap ne sahi time per un ke lungs se pani nikal diya agar time per treatment nahi hota to patient ko bachna mushkil ho sakta tha but you did the right job at the right time.

Neil smiled.

Neil in mind: I can do anything for my Avni. Avni hi to mere jeene ki waja hai us ke liye main kuch bhi kar sakta hun.

Neil looked at the doctor.

Neil: doctor, kya main Avni se mil sakta hun.

Doctor: yes, you can. Is time woh medicine ke effect ke under hain so please patient ke samne baat kar ke usay disturb mat kijiye ga.

Neil and the others nodded.

Neil: ok, doctor.

Doctor: and please, one by one jaiye ga.

Neil: Sure, doctor. Doctor, Avni ko discharge kab milega?

Doctor: yeh to un ki condition per depend karta hai. Aaj ka din humain unhe under observation rakhna parega phir dekhte hain un ki kya condition theharti hai.

Neil: ok. Thank you, doctor.

Doctor smiled and said, you're welcome. The docor went from there. Neil looked at the door of the room.

Neil came into the room and he looked up at Avni who was laying on the bed of the hospital. An oxygen mask was kept on her mouth and she was under the effect of the medicine. She got relief. Neil closed the door at his back while looking at Avni. Neil slowly came to Avni. Neil caressed Avni’s hair and he kissed her forehead.

Neil: Main tumhe theek se time nahi de paa raha tha isi liye kar rahi ho na tum yeh. Hmm? Maine tumhe bohat pareshan kiya, hurt kiya ab tum ek, ek kar ke un sab ka hisab le rahi ho. Hain na. Bohat maza araha hoga na tumhe mujhe ase pareshan kar ke. Hmm?

Neil was looking at Avni. Neil squeezed his nose.

Neil: Almost jaan nikal di thi tum ne meri aaj… ab bus jaldi se theek ho jao. Tum mujhe ase bilkul bhi achi nahi lag rahi.

Neil caressed Avni’s hair and kissed Avni’s forehead.

Neil: Get well soon, love. Get well soon, please.

Neil was looking at Avni.

Later, Avni was laying on the bed of the hospital. Neil was standing beside her. Avni opened her narrowed eyes and a frown was on her head. Avni saw the roof. Neil smiled to see Avni and he got happy.

Neil: Avni.

Avni looked at Neil who leaned toward Avni and caressed her hair. Neil kissed Avni's forehead.

Neil: Kaisa feel kar rahi ho ab?

Avni nodded.

Avni: better.

Neil kissed Avni's whole face. Avni smiled.

Neil: Jaan nikal di thi tum ne meri aaj.

Avni smiled and Neil sighed happily but his eyes were teary. Avni remembered something and tears formed in her eyes. Avni looked at Neil.

Avni: Neil, Kaka...

Neil cupped Avni's face with one hand.

Neil: Avni, woh humari custody main hai. Don't worry, usay apne kiye ki saza zaror milegi.

Avni: Meri shirt main ek camera laga tha.

Neil was shocked and he frowned. Neil wiped his tears and he was listening to Avni.

Avni: Sab kuch us main record howa hoga lekin pani ki waja se woh kisi kaam ka hi nahi raha. Us main Ketan Mehta ke against proof tha.

Neil: camera?

Avni nodded.

Avni: main janti thi ke jo koi bhi hai woh shaks woh mujh per attack zaror karega isi liye maine meri shirt main camera laga diya tha button ki jaga.

Neil was shocked.

Avni: Lekin sab garbar ho gai. Ketan Mehta ko saza to milegi na.

Neil nodded but he was shocked.

Neil: Woh humari custody main hai. Hum ne usay range hathon pakra hai woh bach nahi sakta. Usay saza milegi lekin tum ne camera kab lagaya aur mujhe bataya kyun nahi?

Avni was about to answer but they heard a knock on the door so they looked there. DD came with a constable and a police officer. Avni wiped her eyes.

DD: Sir, Bhabhi ka bayan lena hai.

Neil wiped his tears with his sleeves and he stood.

Neil: Han ajao.

Neil talked to the police officer and then they looked at Avni. Avni tried to sit and Neil helped her. Neil set the pillows at Avni's back and he made her lay in the fowler's position.

Avni: Main Neil ka wait kar rahi thi ke achanak college main kuch students ki apas main larai ho gai aur...

Avni narrated everything. They record the statement. Neil thinks something and he looked at Avni.

DD: thank you, Bhabhi.

DD nodded to see Neil who also nodded. They went. Neil looked at Avni.

Neil: Avni?

Avni: hmm.

Neil: Tum to fighter ho phir un logon ne tumhe kidnap kaise kiya?

Avni: Kyun ke maine unhe karne diya.

Neil was shocked. Avni was looking at him.

Neil: What?

Avni nodded.

Avni: Maine un mere aas pass ghumte dekha tha.

Neil was shocked.

Neil: What?

Avni was looking at him.

Neil: Avni, tum janti bhi ho, tum kya keh rahi ho?

Avni nodded. Neil got angry at Avni.

Neil: Tum ne unhe apne aas pass notice kiya aur tum ne mujhe batana bhi zarori nahi samjha.

Avni was just looking at him.

Neil: How could you, Avni? How could you? Main kitna dar gaya tha aaj tumhe andaza bhi nahi hai is baat ka? Jaan nikal gai thi meri aur tum keh rahi ho ke tum ne khud se unhe tumhe kidnap karne diya. Like seriously.

Avni remained silent.

Neil: Kyun kiya tum ne ase? Kyun tum ne apni jaan khatre main dali, hmm? Kyun? Bharosa nahi tha mujh per.

Avni shook her head.

Avni: Nahi, Neil, asi baat nahi hai.

Neil: to phir kaisi baat hai?

Avni: main to bus proof dhondhne main tumhari help karna chahti thi.

Neil: Ase? Ase help karna chahti thi. Khud ko hospital ke bed per pohancha ke. Han?

Avni looked down.

Neil: tumhe andaza bhi nahi hai, Avni, ke un chand ghanton main mujh per kya beeti hai. Har pal mar raha tha main yeh soch, soch kar ke meri Avni kaisi hogi, woh kis haal main hogi. Woh theek to hogi na. God, please save my Avni.

Avni felt bad.

Neil: Aur tum... Tumhare liya mazak hai yeh sab.

Avni: Neil, baat itni barh jayegi mujhe andaza nahi tha.

Neil: jhot.

Avni: sach.

Neil: to phir tum ne apni shirt main camera kyun lagaya tha.

Avni: proofs hasil karne ke liye.

Neil: Means bharosa nahi tha na mujh per.

Avni: Asa kuch nahi hai, Neil, main to bus...

They heard the knock on the door and they looked there. They saw the family coming there. Avneil looked at each other. Neil looked away in anger and Avni felt bad.

The family came to Avni and they met Avni. First, Dayawanti Mehta came and she caressed Avni's hair and face. Dayawanti Mehta sat on the bed and hugged Avni. Dayawanti Mehta cried and Avni too cried. Dayawanti Mehta kissed Avni's forehead and Avni wiped Dayawanti Mehta's tears. Avni signed her to not cry. The Khanna family was standing on the other side of the bed and they met Avni. Avni smiled slightly.

Avni looked at Neil who was looking at her but when Avni looked at him then Neil looked away. Avni felt bad.

It was the time of the night, Avni was sitting on the bed in a fowler position and she was lost in her thoughts. The guards were standing outside the room. The door opened and Avni looked at the door. Avni frowned to see there.
