Tina looked at her brother in confusion as he had never behaved with her so rudely that to in front of others.

Sanjay approached Hanisa and apologised to her. Hanisa nodded her head saddened. He told her to use the washroom to dry herself.

Sameer accompanied her till the washroom and waited for her outside as he didn't want any more mishaps.

Vinay came to him asking him the details about the scene that had happened in the balcony.

He just explained to him skipping certain details as he didn't want his bl**d to boil.

Hanisa came out of the washroom and she saw Vinay who hugged her immediately.

They decided to leave from the party as they didn't want any further drama.

So, they bid their goodbyes to Sanjay and left for their house.

When they left, Tina confronted her brother for his behaviour in the balcony to which he laughed and told her

"Tina, you were just as excuse for making me the good guy in front of my birdie! I want her to recognise me as the nice guy. A person whom she can trust."

Tina was getting confused at her brother's way of working. So, she asked further to clear her doubts.

"But, why her bro! you can have anyone you want! I don't understand what does that ugly duckling have that all the men drool over her! Humph!"

Sanjay went silent at her response. Seeing that she was not getting any answers she left her brother to day dream about his latest catch.

"You don't know what a cute little beautiful swan I have in my sight! I am just waiting for the right moment to capture her in my cage and devour her." Saying so he laughed evilly.

At Vinay and Hanisa's house

"V, I have to go to Mysore for the second stage of the inter-collegiate competition."

Hanisa just got a message from her dance teacher regarding the inter-collegiate competition results of the first round. She was selected as the final 10 participants to move to the next round.

"It's ok, Nisa, we can go together. I will just make arrangements for hotel in Mysore, so that you need not worry about comfort, ok?" Vinay assured her.

She was happy at his caring nature and went to their room to start her packing, as they had to leave day after tomorrow.

Vinay called his travel agent and told him the details of his stay and to make the necessary arrangements.

"Yes Sir, Mysore, right? For two days, ok Sir? It will be done. I will message you the details once the booking is done." Spoke the travel agent from the other side of the phone.

At the travel agent office.

The moment Vinay kept the phone, the travel agent booked their bus tickets and hotel room. He sent the message of the bookings to Vinay and to one more person who had specifically told him to inform about the love birds travel program.

The previous day of the competition

Vinay and Hanisa reached their hotel and got refreshed to check the venue where the competition would be held.

After reaching the venue, Hanisa went to the organisers asking for the details of her place number in performance.

After getting all the details, they went back to their room late in the evening.

Hanisa informed Vinay that she was supposed to call her parents regarding her competition.

She was planning to visit her parents' house which was near to Mysore. She was planning to formally introduce Vinay to her parents to get their approval for the future. As till now Vinay and her parents had only conversed with each other through phone calls.

As she was talking to her parents, she felt that someone was watching her from the adjacent balcony of their room. So, she tilted her head to check for any intrusion, but she found on one and continued to chat with her parents.

"Don't worry, pa. I will tell Vinay to stay with us for few days. That way you can know each other well. Bye then. I will call you after the competition." Saying so she kept the phone.

Vinay was sleeping on the bed as he was tired from the travelling and he was also practicing a lot from the last few days. Hanisa knew about it and was happy that he took so much interest in her little happiness.

She did her night routine and crawled beside him. She grabbed his waist from behind and slept in his embrace.

The day of the competition

Hanisa was waiting for her performance to start as she was the next participant.

Vinay jogged towards her with a water bottle, as he knew that she would get dehydrated due to her tension.

She drank a little water and smiled at him.

Her name was called and she went onto the stage to give her best performance.

The audience loved her performance as much as the judges.

She was satisfied at the response that she got. The other participants were also friendly with her.

When she was approaching Vinay climbing down the stage stairs, she saw Tina coming towards her.

She was aware of the fact that Tina had also been selected for the second round of the competition.

She wanted to ignore Tina and move past her. But as usual she halted her in between the stairs to mock her.

"Your performance was not that good, that you are so happy! It was just mediocre in my opinion."

Hanisa just shrugged at her remark and spoke

"Good way to calm yourself before the performance. But it doesn't work for me. I always love to encourage others. As I know how it feels to perform in front of professionals. It takes a lot of dedication and hard work. Not everyone is rich enough to bribe the judges like some people!"

"You! How dare you! Don't forget, I can rip that smile off you face, Vinay's puppy doll!" Tina marched at her.

"Back off!"

Vinay barked at her. Tina was at a loss of words and turned giving her best smile at him.

"Vinay, so nice to see you. I was just praising how wonderful your Nisa's performance was! She is really wonderful!" She seductively moved towards him, to which Hanisa scowled at her attempts.

She knew Vinay doesn't like sl**s like her, who changes her boyfriends like clothes.

Vinay avoided her touches with a scowl and moved towards Hanisa. He grabbed her in a protective manner.

They both walked from there and moved towards the hall exit.

At the hotel room

Hanisa would get the result announcement in her mail, so she packed her and Vinay's bag to leave to her parents' house.

Vinay was talking to his brother through video call.

"So, Vinay, I hope you will come for the wedding. It is next month."

"Yes, bro. I will come with Nisa. She wanted to meet the family. Especially Chech. She loved her pic that you sent the other day." Vinay told him.

Just then Hanisa reached him to see him talking to his brother.

"Hi, Anna, Congrats on the wedding! I am looking forward to meet everyone there for the wedding!" she waved her hands at the video to earn a hearty laugh from Vinod.

He liked Hanisa as he knew how much she loved his baby bro and cared for him.

He had already given his approval of her to Vinay who just took it as a friendly humor.

"Ok, Bye both of you. Take care of each other. Nisa, give my regards to your parents. Ok."

Both of them bid their byes to Vinod and proceeded to leave for Hanisa's parents' hometown. Their bus would leave by early evening and reach late at night to Hanisa's parents' hometown.

At the bus stop

Hanisa settled down in her seat and was waiting for Vinay to bring the water bottle for the travel.

Vinay was approaching the bus when he noticed some figures afar standing near a jeep. He ignored it and went to his bus and settled beside Hanisa.

After an hour, the bus had parked near a restaurant to allow the passengers to have refreshments and to refresh themselves. As they had to travel for another 3 hours more to reach their destination.

Hanisa called out Vinay who was in deep sleep. She thought that it was no use, so she strode towards the restaurant to refresh herself.

After doing her routine, she went to approach their bus.

She saw some men approaching towards her. Thinking that they were planning to use the restroom, she gave them the way. But they seem to follow her movements and stopped her.

She got confused and tried to move out of their way, but to her horror they surrounded her. Before she could scream, one of them grabbed her from behind and put a cloth over her nose making her doze off at the effect of the chloroform

She was silently taken over the jeep parked near to the restaurant and they drove off with her.

When the bus horned for the passengers to return to the bus, Vinay opened his eyes with a jolt to find his adjacent seat empty.

He thought maybe, Hanisa would have gone to the restroom. So, he got down the bus and went towards the restroom.

He waited for almost 5 minutes, but he couldn't find her coming out of the restroom.

He got suspicious and went to ask her whereabouts from the bus driver. The bus driver informed that she had went to the restroom for almost 15 minutes back.

Vinay's eye widened in shock. He ran back to the restroom and tried to open each and every one of the restroom doors. To his shock, all of them were empty. He started panicking and went inside the restaurant to atleast find her there. To his horror, she was not in the restaurant.

He clutched his hair in frustration and started getting tensed.

He then started enquiring about her from the people around the restaurant and its premises by showing her pics to them.

Then an elderly man said to him that he saw some men carry an unconscious girl towards their jeep and left with her.

Vinay's eye widened in shock and he stumbled back. He couldn't bring his senses together. His eyes started watering badly with continuous tears. He wiped them and quickly dialled Sameer's number.

He didn't care of his comfort and clutched his phone tightly in his hands.

"Hello, what is it, man! I am trying to sleep here! call me in the morning." Sameer spoke in a groggy manner.

"Sam, Nisa is missing!" Vinay tried to tell him while crying badly.

Sameer jolted from his bed and asked him again.

"I am not kidding, Sam! We were travelling to her hometown in bus. And now she is missing. I am really worried, Sam. Please help me!" Vinay started crying badly in between his words.

Sameer assured him that he was on his way to meet him. He grabbed his car keys while telling him to send his current location.
