Recap - Engagement preparations , Nivi opening up with Aarohi

Aarohi paced in the living room. Restlessly. Trying to call Arjun over her phone. Since he had the meeting he put his phone on silent mode. On the other side Aarohi was much tensed. After what she'd heard from Nivi

"Pick up the call Arjun"she muttered under her breath.

"Aaru di. Please don't say this to nanna. He will get angry and i don't know what he will do" nivi said worrying. Almost crying

Aarohi sat on her knees and cupped Nivis cheeks.

"Nivi. If this is the truth. We need to bring this out. This a big crime baby. She'd snatched your mother from your nanna. She needs justice. We can't hide it from Arjun. He have all the rights to know. Thara is dangerous. She can do anything "

"Aaru di. But Nanna. He will scold me."

"No baby. He will not. I'm with you right. Trust me.We will go and meet your nanna after his meeting "

Nivi nodded. With a sigh.

By evening 6. Arjun finished with his meeting. He had a very hectic day. Settling down in his chair. He whipped out his phone and was startled seeing Aarohis calls and messages

He immediately dialled her back and she took it in the 2nd ring itself

"Thank God Arjun. Hello?"

" Aarohi. Is everything alright?"

" Are you done with your meetings?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"I want to discuss something very important. Where are you now?"she sounded worried.

"In Office. Aarohi. What's wrong ?"

"Be there Arjun. We are coming" she disconnected the call before he could say anything else.

He could sense that she is worried and something is seriously wrong

Aarohi grabbed Nivis wrist and rushed outside. Divya walked behind them

"Angel. Where are you going?"

"I'll come after dropping her Divya. Take care of the arrangements" Aarohi wore her helmet and drove outside the compound.

Nivi was tensed. Thinking about her father. Aarohi wanted Arjun to know the truth. She knew that Thara is dangerous. It took her back to vickys incident. She can go upto any extent to get Arjun.

She have to stop Thara. Before its too late.

Sun was setting down. They drove through the empty road until a van stopped in front of them. Making them halt. Aarohi looked up and saw few goons. Getting outside the car. She removed her helmet and kept it aside. Gripping nivi tightly with her arms.

The men. Smirked at them and got closer. Even before she could realise they grabbed nivi by her wrist

"Aaru di.."

"Nivi... Leave her. What are you doing?" Aarohi tried to stop them. One of them held her wrist and slapped her. She saw them pushing Nivi inside their vanity

"Nivi..." Aarohi shouted. Pushing the goon away.

"Who are you people?"

The goon held her hair in his fist and slapped her again. He grabbed her by her wrist and follwed by others. Aarohi tried to push them away. But in vain.

"Take her inside"

They pushed her inside the vanity

An hour passed by. Arjun continuously tried Aarohi over the phone. He was already hell worried about her. Restless as ever. He dialled Divyas number

"Hello? Good evening Annaya"Divya answered

"Good evening Divya. Can i speak to Aarohi? I've been trying to call her but she is not picking up my call."

"Angel left an hour ago along with Nivi"

"An hour ago? But..where to?"

"To drop Nivi back home"

"Home?"

"Is everything alright. Annaya?"

"Yeah divya..all fine. Let me go and check home. They'll be right there"

"Okay"

He disconnected the call and massaged his temple.

20 minutes later he parked his car and walked inside his house. Ramya was instructing seetha ma. Engagement preparations were going on. Raj was carelessly sitting in the hall. Busy with a phonecall

"Maaa?"

"Arjun you came?" Ramya walked to him

"Where's Aarohi?"he asked

"Aarohi..? I don't know Arjun. She didn't come here today. What happened?"

"Nothing. And where's Nivi?"

"Arjun. It was you who dropped Nivi with Aarohi right? They didn't come back yet"

Arjun felt his breath going unsteady for a moment. He panicked.

"What happened Arjun? Where are they?"

"Nothing maa..you take rest. I will bring them"he said walking away from her. Before she could say anything else

He tried her on phone again

"Damn..where are you Aarohi...? Please don't make me tensed"

"Arjun?" Raj intruppted his thoughts. He noticed Arjuns sullen face

"Yeah?"

"Everything okay? You look worried"

"Nothing ra. I'm alright"

"Where's Darling? She's missing from the morning"

Arjun looked at him for a moment and sighed.

"Raj. Just keep your phone. Active. I'll call you if something is wrong" he said

"Arjun. Whats wrong?"

"Raj.Aarohi and Nivi is.. missing"

"What?"

"She called me in the Evening. Asking me to meet her in the office. She sounded worried but she didn't turn up. Even Divya doesn't know where she is"

"Ring up her other friends Arjun"

"I'm trying. And don't say this to Maa. She be worried'

"I'm coming with you"

"You don't need to Raj. I'll call you. Be here"Arjun walked outside before Raj could protest.

Raj felt suspicious. About Thara. He'd been noticing her. From that day.

Arjun rang up Nandini and then Arun. Both didn't knew about Aarohi and Nivi. He was getting more tensed by each passing moment.

Running his hands through his hairs. He felt weak in knees. He was worried about both of them. A part of him knew Aarohi won't let anything bad happen with Nivi. Yet he was scared

He walked to his car. Mindlessly and opened the door. He was about to get inside until he felt a sharp hit in his head. He froze on the spot. And his vision blurred. Held his head on his palm. Blood oozed out. Like a shadow he saw few men. Gathered around him. Even before he could realise it. He was punched. Badly until he fell unconscious on the floor.
