It was the time of evening, the police jeeps were passing by the forest road. In one jeep, Neil was sitting in the back seat and DD was sitting with the driver. A tracking device was in DD’s hands. Neil also looked at it and then Neil looked out from the window. Neil wants to reach Avni as soon as possible,

On the other side, Avni was tied to the chair and Jay was tied on the floor. Avni smirked to see the tension on Riya and Ketan’s faces.

Riya: means yeh sab tumhara plan tha?

Avni smirked.

Avni: to tumhe kya laga, Avni Mehta ko kidnap karna bachon ka khel hai.

Riya and Ketan were shocked.

Avni: Mujhe kidnap kiya gaya kyun ke maine unhe mujhe kidnap karne diya.

Another shock for father and daughter.

Avni: Waise bohat hi bachkana plan tha students ki fight karwane ka drama karna. By God, itni overacting… uff.

Riya and Ketan were shocked.

Avni: Mujhe to vomiting arahi thi un ki bakwas acting dekh kar. Mann to kar raha tha ek, ek panch laga dun sab ko… lekin kya karti, mujhe yahan jo aana tha.

Ketan chuckled.

Ketan: kya mila tumhe yahan aa kar, han? Kuch bhi nahi.

Avni smirked.

Avni: asa tumhe lagta hai.

Ketan and Riya were shocked.

Ketan: Kehna kya chahti ho tum?

Avni smiled and she looked away.

Riya: Dad kuch puch rahe hain tum se.

Avni got angry.

Avni: aur main tumhare dad ko jawab dene ki paband nahi hun.

Riya and Ketan were shocked.

Riya: Dad, humain isay marne main dair nahi karni chahiye.

Avni was shocked.

Riya: yeh humare liye khatra ban sakti hai.

Ketan nodded.

Ketan: hmm. Sahi kaha.

Ketan looked at Avni.

Ketan: tum ne yahan aa kar bohat bari galti kar di. Ab tumhe marna hoga.

Avni: yeh gidar bhapkiyan kisi aur ko sunana. Main tum jaise darpok insan se nahi darti. Mera Neil aye ga mujhe bachane. Woh zaror aayega.

Riya got angry.

Riya: Neil sirf mera hai.

Avni shouted: kabardar jo mere Neil ka naam bhi apni gandi zuban se liya to…

Riya got angry.

Ketan: Neil yahan kabhi pohanch nahi payega aur agar woh pohanch bhi gaya to yahan se zinda wapis nahi jayega.

Avni was shocked and Riya was also shocked.

Riya: Dad.

Ketan: shut up, Riya, Neil ko ab tak sab pata chal chukka hoga ke Avni ko kis ne aur kyun kidnap kiya hai. Humari bhalai isi main hai ke Avni aur Neil dono ko hi khatam kar diya jaye.

Avni was shocked. Riya thinks. Avni felt disgusting.

Avni: chiii, yeh hai tumhara pyaar? Aray log to apne pyaar ko bachane ke liye apni jaan tak de dete hain aur tum khud ko bachane ke liye apne hi pyaar ko marna chahti ho.

Riya got angry.

Avni: chii, shame on you,

Riya got angry and she came to Avni. Riya slapped Avni who glared at her. Jay was also shocked.

Riya: shut up.

Avni: kyun? Sach karwa laga?

Riya again slapped Avni who smiled.

Riya got angry. Riya was about to raise her hand.

Ketan: relax, Riya, relax. Itna ghussa nahi karte. Abhi to humare enjoy karne ka time hai. Avni ko ase thori marenge hum. Isay to tarpa, tarpa kar marenge.

Riya smirked but she got shocked to see fearless Avni. Avni smirked.

Ketan shouted: tank bharne ki tiyari karo.

Avni was shocked. Riya smirked. A tank was kept there. The men came there and they started pouring water in it with the buckets. Avni was shocked. Avni thinks. Riya was looking at Avni. She looked at the tank and then she looked at Avni.

On the other side, Neil was on the way with his team.

Neil: DD, aur kitna time lagega?

DD: 20 minutes.

Neil: Kishore, jaldi chalao.

The driver nodded and he speed up the jeep. Neil caught his head and then he kept his fist on his mouth. Neil sighed.

On the other side, Avni was tied on the chair and she looked around. Avni was trying to find a way of running away from there. She didn’t see anything. The men filled the tank with water and they went. Avni was shocked.

Avni: Tch.

Avni in mind: agar, Neil ko aane main dair ho gai to meri sari planning, sari mehnat zaya ho jayegi.

Avni looked at her shirt and she saw a camera in place of the button. Avni thinks.

Flashback:

Avni was sitting on the bed holding a shirt in her hand. She replaced a button with the camera and she thinks.

Flashback ends.

Avni was thinking.

Flashback:

Avni and Neil were standing in the room and they were smiling. Avni remembered something and she went to the door. Avni closed the door and windows and Neil frowned then he smiled. Avni was coming to him.

Neil: Kya baat hai, wifey, door, window sab band kar diye. Irade theek nahi lag rahe aap ke?

Avni frowned.

Neil: Kahinnn…

Avni narrowed her eyes and Neil raised his eyebrows and he clenched his shirt near his collar.

Neil: Niat to kharab nahi ho gai?

Neil closed the button of his shirt.

Avni widened her eyes in shock. Neil cleared his throat.

Avni slapped Neil’s arm.

Avni: Shut up.

Neil smiled. Avni huffed.

Avni: Mujhe tum se kuch baat karni hai.

Neil made a sad face.

Neil: haye meri kismat, kitni unromantic wifey mili hai mujhe.

Avni: Neil, be serious.

Neil smiled. Neil acted to wipe something.

Neil: ok, now, I am serious. Say, what you want to say.

Avni: I want to talk to you about Ketan Kaka.

Neil was shocked.

Neil: Ketan Kaka?

Avni nodded.

Avni: Mujhe doubt hai ke woh kisi planning ke tehat wapis aaye hain aur…

Neil: Aur?

Avni: aur unho ne meri mamma, papa ko mara hai.

Neil was shocked.

Neil: tumhe bhi asa lagta hai?

Avni was surprised.

Avni: tumhe bhi matlab? Tumhe bhi asa lagta hai.

Neil nodded.

Neil: Han, Avni, mujhe day one se us per shaq hai. Main day one se usay aur us ke acts ko notice kar raha hun woh girgit ki tarha apna rang badalta hai. Kabhi humare sath hai to kabhi humare khilaf. Abhi bhi dekha kaise behave kiya.

Avni nodded.

Neil: woh baton ko sugar-coat karta hai. Avni, woh…

Neil told Avni that he saw Ketan changing his color. Neil sighed.

Avni: aur yeh tum mujhe ab bata rahe ho mere kehne ke bad.

Neil: mere pass koi proof nahi tha us ke against. Main kaise…

Avni cuts him.

Avni: tum se proof manga kis ne tha, Neil.

Neil looked at Avni. Neil cupped Avni’s face.

Neil: I am sorry.

Avni: it’s ok. Lekin, ab pata kaise lagaya jaye ke hum sahi soch rahe hain yaa nahi…

They think.

Avni: ek idea hai.

Neil looked at Avni who also looked at him. Neil understood her plan.

Neil: Jay?

Avni was surprised. They looked at each other. Avni smiled and Neil stretched his neck.

Flashback ended.

Avni was lost in her thought. Avni heard the footsteps and she saw Ketan and Riya. They smirked to see Avni who got angry. Ketan went to sit on the chair and a table was kept in front of it and Riya sat on the edge of the table.

Ketan: kholo isay. Lekin, is ke hath bandhne ke bad is ko kholna.

Avni smirked.

AvniL kyun, itna dar lagta hai mujhse?

Ketan and Riya got angry and Avni chuckled.

Avni: aww, poor father, daughter, tch, tch, tch, tch , tch, tch, tch, tch.

Riya grinned her teeth.

The man opened Avni’s hand and two men held her arm tightly. Avni wiggled but no use and like this they held her second arm and they handcuffed her hands. They made Avni stand.

Avni hit her head on one man who stumbled back. Riya and Ketan were shocked and they got up. Avni hit her leg on one man who was standing to her left and then she hit her leg back to the man who was standing on her right side. A man came from the right side and Avni bent and moved to the side. The man fell on the chair and Avni hit her leg on his back. Avni looked at them.

Avni was about to turn to Ketan and Riya but before she turn, Riya held her neck and arm. Riya took her to the tank which was near them. Riya dipped Avni’s face in the water. Ketan smirked and he sat back by keeping his leg on the leg. Avni was rubbing her feet on the floor.

The police jeeps were on the way, and Neil felt restless.

Neil: Avni.

DD turned to Neil who looked restless.

DD: Sir ji, kya howa?

Neil looked at DD and he thinks. Neil gulped.

Neil in mind: Avni zaror kisi mushkil main hai.

Neil was shocked. They heard the sound and they looked at the device. Neil frowned and DD was confused. DD tried to check the device.

Neil: Kya howa?

DD: Sir, connection break ho gaya hai. Location trace nahi ho rahi.

Neil was shocked.

Neil: What?

DD nodded.

Neil: Asa kaise ho sakta hai?

DD thinks and Neil was shocked.

Neil: Kahin unhe tracker ke bare main pata to nahi chal gaya.

DD turned his face to Neil who looked shocked and DD also got shocked. They looked at each other.

Neil: is ka matlab mera shaq sahi tha Avni kisi mushkil main hai… Ki, Kishore, jaldi chalao.

Kishore nodded and DD asked others to speed up the jeep.

In the godown, Avni’s face was dipped in the tank. Riya took Avni’s face up. Avni’s condition was bad and she was having a problem taking a breath. Avni choked.

Riya: kya howa? Sari garmi nikal gai.

Avni looked at Riya angrily. Riya again dipped Avni’s face in the water and Avni was wiggling. Riya took Avni’s face up who coughed badly. Riya caught Avni’s hair who squeezed her eyes and winced.

Riya: yeh tha mujhse meri khushiyan chinane ke liye.

Avni winced and she coughed. Avni gulped and coughed. Riya again dipped Avni’s face by catching Avni’s hair.

On the other side, the police jeeps were moving to the destination. Neil was worried for Avni and he was looking out from the side window. The jeep stopped and Neil looked straight.

Neil: kya howa?

DD: Sir, agay ek pedh (tree) gira howa hai.

Neil was shocked and he hit his hand on the door.

Neil: shit.

Neil came out and he moved. Neil saw the tree and he kept his hands on his waist. Neil thinks.

On the other side, Riya took Avni’s face up whose condition was bad.

Riya: aur yeh mujhse mere Neil ko cheenane ke liye.

Avni was coughing and panting.

Avni said while panting: Neil tumhara kabhi, kabhi nahi tha aur, aur na kab. hi hoga.

Riya got angry and she again dipped Avni’s face in the water.

Riya: Neil mera tha tum ne usay mujhse chin liya. Tum ne usay mujhse cheen liya.

Avni was struggling.

On the other side, in the forest area, Neil was looking at the fallen tree.

Neil: uthao isay. Yeh itna heavy nahi hoga. Hum sab mil kar isay utha sakte hain, itna mota nahi hai yeh.

The men nodded. They tried to pick it up.

In the godown, Riya took Avni’s face up whose condition got worse. Avni was having a problem in breathing.

Ketan: Riya, stop now.

Riya looked at her father.

Ketan: yeh to ase hi mar jaye gi phir hum ne is ki maut ka jo tamasha set kiya hai woh kaise dekh paenge.

Riya smirked while looking at Avni who was not able to open her eyes. Riya pushed Avni who fell down and coughed. Avni closed her eyes.

On the road, Neil and his team were trying to pick up the tree and Neil was continuously feeling restless. They kept the tree there at the side. There was a place to pass the police jeep from there. Neil cleaned his hands and sighed.

Neil: jaldi se betho sab.

The men nodded and they got in the jeeps. The jeeps went from there.

On the other side, Ketan and Kareena were sitting in the godown and Avni was standing in the vertical tank and her one hand was handcuffed to the tank. Avni was standing lifelessly. Ketan signed the man who nodded. The man pulled on the tape and the water started filling the tank. Avni saw that.

Avni said slowly: Neil.

Avni saw the flashes of her and Neil’s moment. Their first meeting, Neil saved her from buffaloes and she was in his arms, their engagement, Neil proposed to her, their wedding on Valentine’s Day and their kiss. She saw flashes of many other moments.

On the other side, Neil was on the way and he was hell worried now.

Neil: kya kar rahe ho tum? Jaldi nahi chala sakte.

Kishore: sir, high speed hi hai is se zyada aur kya taiz chalaon.

Neil looked out the window.

Neil in mind: God, please save my Avni. please.

In the godown, Ketana and Riya were looking at Avni and they were sitting on the chairs. The half tank was filled with water and Avni was tied in the tank. On the other side, Neil was on the way.
