Vikram arrived at the village in Andhra Pradesh with a location tracker. There may have been a total of fifteen cottages in that village. The area looked like a completely dry desert. The women ij the village looked thin and weak but the men nurtured their bodies like wrestlers.

The location tracker shows the signal infront of the cottage house, Vikram narrowed his eyes as if what Ahana was doing in this cottage and his legs automatically walked towards that house.

Meanwhile, Vikram saw Ahana coming out of the hut and she stopped for a moment. Their eyes shared the silent language and suddenly walked fast, lifting the jug from outside as if she didn't know anyone.

The moment he saw Ahana, his lips smiled and stared longingly at the silent language her eyes spoke. He didn't fail to notice the sudden tension on the face of Ahana as she tried to walk away from him. She dressed casual salwar suit.

Vikram was confused and he walked behind following her, thinking, "Ahana has the nature to say straight to the face if she doesn't like but she didn't even open her mouth. Her eyes communicated many feelings. I also thought that someone might have kidnapped her but here seems to have no chance of it! I don't understand anything? What is Ahana doing here? Where are Ahana's mother and sister?"
He didn't try to follow her due to the sudden confusion in his mind. He stood looking at her.

Ahana reached the big well and struggled to get the water through the pully. When she moved her eyes from time to time confirming no one noticed her, Vikram understood her silent language and stood there.

Ahana closed her eyes when she saw Vikram not following her and let out a sigh of relief. Then, without a moment delay, she carried the jug of water and walked briskly. Vikram was leaning against the dry tree. He remained blank looking at her. He was like a tiger lurking with a little patience in this matter. He kept his eyes on her until she entered the house.

The shirtless men crossed Vikram looked him like a model, a woman about sixty five years old came nearer to him. She started raising question looking at the ground.

"I didn't see you here at any time. What were you doing here? I noticed that you are staring at the woman in the house, what do you want her to do?" The old lady asked Vikram who wasn't expecting this question at all, thinking 'Grandma is okay! She guessed rightly'

"I'm out of town, Grandma. That woman is my my uncle's daughter. I'm going to marry her" he said with a casual smile on his face after identifying the old lady. The old lady looked into his eyes and he find out Ahana who was talking to him in this get him but poor Ahana failed to recognize it.

"She's beautiful in this disguise too. Are you trying to play with me?" Vikram thought in his mind. He hide his smile inside.

"Really? Did you come here to have love glance with your uncle's daughter? Brother... it's not okay to stand here and watch like this. So come with me I'll show you the right place" Vikram changed the tone of his voice slightly and could not suppress a laugh though he laughed to himself. Ahana simply believed that Vikram trust her disguise.

"No love glance, Grandma. Don't tell her, If she came to know then she would kill me. You don't know about her Do you know how perfect arrogant person she is?" He noticed the change in Ahana's face as he walked.

"Oh... but she seems to be good girl" said Ahana in cracked voice.

"Grandma, don't believe that all white liquid is milk" he said, slightly pursing his lips.

"Hmm ... that's right. You told that you were going to marry her, was that true?"

"Grandma, why did you care her so much? Marriage? No... No way! I just told you for fun, Grandma" he said. They reached the dilapidated hall, it was unused for many years so now it was the place of dust, debris and spider webs.

"Why Grandma you took me here?" he blinked and Ahana stared at him. Vikram hugged her the next moment.

"Ahana, What happened? Why this act? How are you?" Asked Vikram in concern.

"Did you find me already? If I came in front of you as Ahana, the problem would be exacerbated if we fell in eyes of someone so this disguise. Be careful, too" she said, holding his arms.

"What are you afraid of? I am there for you, right? Be brave. I will take care of whoever comes."

"I was brave enough to be in this hut in the hope that you would definitely come. Now, it's time for us to be polite" she said, releasing her arms that were hugging him. Both their eyes staring longingly at each other. She took the parcel that was folded in the edge of her saree. Then, she unwrapped the food parcel and stretched to Vikram.

"Satisfy your hunger first. I have prepared only this normal food. Have it" she became his mother, who knew hungry son and fed him. He also enjoyed and had the food.

Then Vikram said, "Ahana, are you afraid that I am being the businessman who doesn't have the strength to take you from the bodybuilders belongs to this village?" asked him.

"I have no doubt of your heroism. I said this to protect my sister." Vikram, who did not understand anything, asked, "Where is your sister and mother?"

Going to the peak of tension again, Ahana said, "My mother is safe at Akshadh brother's house. My sister is in danger. We have to hurry and protect her. If the kidnappers knew you were here, they would probably do something to my sister so we have to be patient until she is released."

"Okay Ahana, now is not the time to speak clearly. Who imprisoned both of you like this? Who is that culprit? Do you know the details of where your sister is?" He queried her aggressively.

"I don't know who they are as we both of us were blindfolded. I'm going to tell you what happened a bit later. I only know that my sister is only ten minutes away from here with the help of this location tracker" she said.

"You did a good thing" Vikram said and with the help of Google Map they found the town. Those who went there wondered where Kavita was hidden. The two wandered here and there and could not find the place as the buildings were tall and looked alike.

After a while, Vikram said to Ahana, who looked nervous. "Ahana, be patient. We're here to see your sister for sure. I need your help to find her quickly. If you can tell me what happened, it's a chance to find that place with a little clue."

"My sister and I went to the grocery store that evening when you went to London. Shiva, who saw us there forced us both to take home. I said no at first but had to go with him because of his compulsion. Shiva got a call while the car was going smoothly on the road. Shiva didn't accept the call at first but later he attended. He turned the car around as if talking to someone and went through a different road" said Ahana.

I asked "Shiva, why are you going back?" the car went towards your company. He replied "Ahana, now we have to go to Vikram Adithya company immediately."

On the way there, he said, "Ahana, suddenly the company shareholders are about to buy back shares from Vikram Adithya company so we have to stop it. Some of the founders have visited there."

"Why are they trying to get the shares back so suddenly? Shouldn't we inform to Vikram sir?" I asked.

"No Ahana we can take care of it. Sir, would be busy in the trip and we don't need to disturb him" he said, closing my mouth.

We didn't find anyone there. Shiva went inside the company and was doing something on the laptop though. My sister and I were standing outside your room where two business people I had never met before came in saying "Vikram is guilty in the murder case of Dhruv. Vikram might have killed him with no doubts. It will come out in the press tomorrow so we need to get our shares back today and invest the shares in another investor"

I do not know what they were talking about when they entered in. After a while they left and Shiva said, "Ahana, why are you standing outside? Come inside."

"My sister is there that's why I'm standing outside"

I only went inside when my sister refused to come inside. We were discussing about the shares and once the shares were somewhat uniform, we came out. My sister was missing when we both came out and contacted her number. She said she was standing outside. I went outside and failed to notice the tension on her face. Then, we reached home with Shiva.

Unusually that night Kavita was lying in the room saying nothing. I thought she might be tired. I left telling her to sleep well that she would be fine if she rested. She got out of bed at eleven o'clock that night and cried. I was mentally disturbed and she said, "When she was standing outside in your office ............" Ahana said something secretly to Vikram.

I guess the next morning a gang kidnapped her on her way to college as usual. I only knew this information that evening. A call from that unknown number that came to my number made me shaken in a moment. The kidnapper said, "They would destroy my sister if I didn't do as he said. In an attempt to save my sister's honor, I wrote a resignation letter and gave it to the manager as he said. I kept a location tracker secretly that no one knew just in the hope that you would definitely find me. My hope is not in vain" said her in tears.

"You shouldn't cry anymore Ahana. I am there for you" he wiped away her tears.

Ahana continued, "Then, my cell phone number was disconnected from Vidharth sir company itself. They blindfolded me and picked me up somewhere. I think they may have loaded my sister half way. Then released my eyes once to see my sister and only then did I know its location through the location tracker. Then, they picked me up and left me in that village. Who is the spy? Who is bad? Who is watching me? I spent days as a refugee in the village without knowing that."

"I'm not going to let those responsible for your situation go unnoticed, Ahana. We'll find your sister first," he said, leaving Ahana safely in a safe place with no clue to look around and searched Kavita throughout. Will Vikram find Kavita? What will happen when the kidnapper came to know that Ahana accompany Vikram?
