MONDAY

4:40 P.M.

He was sitting and was engrossed in his work on his laptop, but all of a sudden he received a hard hit on the face with a tremendous punch. The punch hits his face so forcefully that he falls off the chair with a loud thud and lands on the ground face down.

Before he can regain his composure and turn to face the attacker, someone grabs his collar from behind, lifts him up, and punches him again.

"Why do you do this? What have I done wrong with you?

The man looks at the front while wiping blood pouring out of his nose. Yuvraj angrily grabs him again by the collar and rudely shouts in his face.

"Tell me, Ravish, what I had done with you. You know very well that I love her so much."

Ravish is well aware that Yuvraj's sex tapes have been leaked, but he does not understand why Yuvraj is coming here and beating him like this. Because he never thought something like this was going to happen.

"Yuvraj, what are you saying, bhai…?"

"Don't call me brother……"

Yuvraj showers several punches on his face one after the other. Just then Jagannath comes running inside with his bodyguards and gets upset seeing Yuvraj in this condition but orders his bodyguards immediately.

"Hold him quickly; he is in a state of shock."

Two bodyguards immediately hold Yuvraj tightly and separate him from Ravish. But Yuvraj is so angry that he has no sense at all of who's doing what; he immediately frees himself from them and starts beating Ravish again. Both the bodyguards hold Yuvraj well again. Jagannath immediately approaches Yuvraj, hugs him, caresses his back with great affection, and says,

"Son … Everything's going to be alright… I am with you…"

"What happened, Bade Papaaa …

Ravish asks him in fake sympathy. Jagannath turns his attention to Ravish, who is standing behind him. He is busy talking to his son when Ravish comes close to them. Yuvraj, who is very furious, looks into his eyes with his bloodshot

"I will kill you, bastard. You ruin everything…"

Jagannath cups his son's face very lovingly in his hands and looks into his eyes and says.

"Nothing is ruined; I will make everything right as before. Just trust in your father. I am here with you. Come, we will correct everything. Alakh is yours, only yours."

"Bade papa …. What happened??? I didn't do anything. First, tell me…"

Jagannath immediately turns around and slaps Ravish's face. Holding his collar and looking into his eyes, she says to him.

"I loved you like my own child, and you did all this with my son. The boy never listened to his parents as much as he paid attention to your words. Everything that has happened in your house has happened right under your nose. You know very well what he is doing or what you are providing him…… Now listen to me very well. I should never see you in my company and never in my house."

"Bade papa, listen…"

"You listen to me … All kinds of tapes and videos have disappeared from the media…… I have learned so much in politics, like, "When someone starts burning your house, then how to save your life." This is the nature of politics; it may not make much sense to you. If someone can give you money for your benefit, then, for the same money, he can also harm you. The leaders of the opposite party have told me very well all the harm was done by your maid, with whom you used to please yourself. She ran away with the money. Because of you, my son has lost everything, so don't show your face to me again."

Jagannath immediately walks out; the bodyguards also drag Yuvraj and take him out. Ravish immediately calls the person with whom he dealt; the person right away picks up the phone on the other side.

"What the hell is going on? We have already decided that we will ruin the reputation of Mr. Jagannath, and I will get the CEO position at his company."

"Leave all these things for a while. You will be the CEO of that company for sure. Thank God that the leader saved you and did not let your name come out in front of Mr. Jagannath. The girl has already been buried after her work was done. The truth will never come out…. Just think how to win Jagannath's trust again……"

"That's not a big deal ….. winning the trust of Yuvraj means winning the trust of Jagannath."

He disconnects the call and smiles.

"Your love for Alakh is your weakness, so Alakh is very useful in my game…. Baby girl, save yourself from me…."

6 JUNE

MONDAY

10:45 P.M.

Vishesh smiles, caresses her cheeks, places his lips on her forehead, and then says,

"Call me immediately after landing, and if you need anything, I'm just a call away from you. Fine…"

Aaradhya knows very well that her brother cares for her a lot. So she immediately looks into her brother's eyes and tells him with confidence.

"I will be fine….. Why are you behaving with me as if I am going to fight a war? ….. Bhai, please take care of Mumma; she is not happy with my decision.…"

Holding her by both shoulders, he gently places his hand on her head as he speaks to her.

"I know …. She wanted to be with you, but you suddenly made a plan to go back, so how can she like it? But don't panic; I will handle her."

She smiles and hugs him, but her head starts spinning. She composes herself, looks at her brother again, and smiles as she speaks.

"Ok, bhai, you go. It's time to go in anyway. I'm going inside in 5 to 10 minutes…"

But Vishesh's full attention is not in his sister's words. He is distracted by something on his phone and suddenly starts speaking.

"I will after you …. I do not understand why Vikram is not picking up his phone. In the evening his condition was not at all good; I had left him with a lot of difficulties just because Auntie called me…. I came home; otherwise, I won't leave him."

Aaradhya does not know what has happened to Vikram or the situation he is in, but upon hearing that he has gotten into some trouble, her heart races, and she quickly asks her brother.

"Vikram … What happened... to him?"

Vishesh is very worried about Vikram. So while checking his mobile, he starts telling everything to Aaradhya.

"Suddenly some videos of Yuvraj went viral in the media and have disappeared in the same way... of course, the power of his father... Due to this problem, there was a lot of fighting between Vikram and Yuvraj, and finally, Vikram left his house with his sister…. His condition was not good at all. He was injured, too. I do not know where he came from, but I do know that he was mentally very upset. They are at their apartment, but I felt that I should not have left him alone."

Vikram is injured. Apart from this, Aaradhya is unable to hear and gets very upset. Before he can complete it, Aaradhya holds her head tightly, then clutches his shirt for support, and Vishesh quickly holds her in his arms, very protectively.

"Aru … Aru … "

Aaradhya faints in his arms. Vishesh pats her cheeks, but to no avail; he quickly scoops her in his arms and runs outside.

6 JUNE

MONDAY

7:00 P.M.

Alakh's phone is ringing continuously, but she ignores it and looks outside the window.

Whenever the phone stops ringing, it immediately starts ringing again within a few seconds. This disturbs Alakh completely. She takes a glance at her phone and angrily picks it up.

"What is your problem? Can't you understand that when someone is not responding to your call, it means they don't want to talk to you?"

"Are you ok…?"

"Look, Mr. Whatever you are, I know very well that you keep an eye on me all the time; you know everything about me, but now I beg you with joined hands to stop all these things. You ruin my life…. You have an idea of how it feels when you feel like someone is following you all the time…… No, you can't. You are enjoying my situation. Then, listen to me very clearly... I have rescued you today, but it won't be the last time. You will definitely face me again, and I will catch you. Do you understand this?"

She is about to disconnect the phone, but his husky voice stops her.

"You didn't reply to me... Are you ok?"

"What will you do if I say that I am not ok? Will you kill Yuvraj, or will you kill that girl, or will you kill someone else?"

"I don't know if I will kill anyone, but I strongly believe that I will take you to a place where you won't have any problems... far away from all of this."

After listening to him, Alakh's breath gets stuck in her throat for once; she takes a deep breath and tells him while trying to be strong in front of him.

"I do not want to listen to any of your nonsense, and do not need you to call me like this again. From now on, I will never pick up your calls."

She immediately disconnects the phone, throws it on the bed, looks around, and then runs out of the room to search for her brother.

"Bhai …. Bhai …. Where did Bhai go? Just a while ago, he was here. Where did he suddenly go?"

At that moment, she notices a note stuck to the table and quickly picks it up to read.

"I have some urgent work. If I don't come back at night, don't worry. I have called Auntie, and Hayat is going to come here soon. Eat your food, and rest."

She smiles slightly, looks at her mother's photo, and says something reassuring.

"Everything is going to be perfect, Mamma."

7 JUNE

8:30 A.M.

TUESDAY

Alakh gets ready immediately, descends the stairs, hurriedly comes to the dining table, and starts looking for her brother. Hayat is checking the final preparations for her exam.

"Hey, sweetheart, where is Bhai …?"

"I don't know; maybe Vikram Bhaiya didn't come at night. I slept early as soon as I came here because today is my exam."

"Ok … "

At that moment, Hayat's mother arrives and serves breakfast to both of them. After they finish their breakfast, Alakh picks up her bag and says,

"Come, Haya darling, today I will drop you at your school."

"Seriously, first you learn to take care of yourself well, then you will drop me …."

"Don't you dare tease me, or I will cut your hair….."

She immediately changed her tone from a mocking one to a soft one.

"But I am very impressed. Mr. Chauhan is like, What the hell is going on here?'…

Alakh laughs out loud and pulls her cheeks lovingly and says.

"Such a drama queen... Come on fast, I'll go to college after dropping you off at your school."

Hayat's mother comes with a worried face and says in a concerned voice.

"According to me, you should not go to college today; such a big thing happened yesterday…. I do not feel good; please do not go to college. Vikram is not even here, and I am worried."

Alakh interrupts her in the middle and snakes her arms around her neck and says.

"Relax, aunty, nothing is going to happen…. And try to understand this… I can't stay locked in the house because of fear…. I'll come back soon."

"As per your wish, but I will have to go back to Chauhan Mansion. I left all the stuff there because last night Vikram called us early because you are all alone here."

"Ok … bye."

IN SCHOOL

"Jao Kanya Vijaya bhava…"

(Go girl, get the victory!)

Hayat looks at her mischievous grin, quickly joins her hand, bends to a 90-degree angle, and says,

"Jo adesh, mate …"

(As you order, Mother.)

Both of them laugh out loud seeing each other. Hayat immediately leaves after bidding her bye. While walking towards her car, Alakh takes out her mobile and tries to call Vikram. She quietly sits while calling him again and again. Everything has gone in vain because the phone always disconnects after a full ring.

The car is moving too fast. When she feels it, she looks outside the car and says.

"Where are we going, Ravi Bhaiya? This is not the way to my college at all."

She looks at the driving seat, glances at the person sitting there properly, and says loudly.

"YOU….."

****

7 JUNE

11:30 A.M.

TUESDAY

Alakh opens the door with slow, staggering steps; she enters and looks at the picture of her mother with tears in her already swollen eyes and starts moving towards her room with the same slow steps. Looking at her, it seems as if she has no life left at all.

She looks around the apartment as if searching for someone, but no one is present at that moment. She hugs herself while mumbling in a barely audible voice.

"Bhai …"

Tears are pouring continuously from her eyes, which are not stopping for a second. She comes to her room and immediately enters the bathroom. She turns on the shower and slides down from the wall, sitting on the cold floor with her knees drawn towards her chest, while her eyes remain fixed on the red water flowing over her body.

After seeing the red color, the sound of Alakh crying starts resonating even more loudly throughout the bathroom. Her eyes are not moving away at all from that red-colored water going into the drain, but seeing it, her cry is changing into screams.

7 JUNE

6:00 P.M.

TUESDAY

Alakh is looking outside the window with emptiness in her eyes. Her eyes are frozen at the road outside the window. She sits there as if she were a lifeless body.

There are no tears in her eyes now, as if her mind is completely paralyzed. She has been sitting like this for hours; there is no movement around her, nor are her fingers and toes moving. There is a strange silence around her, which is comforting to her.

Then there is a loud knock on the door of her room, breaking this silence. She jumps slightly at this as if she has come out of her deep thoughts.

"Alakh, please open the door. I want to talk to you. Please open the door. It is very urgent."

"Aunty …"

Alakh immediately opens the door, Aunty hugs her and starts crying loudly, she does not understand anything, yet she hugs her, and Alakh starts handling her because she looks so insane.

"Please save her … please …."

"Aunty, what happened …"

"He took my baby… my Hayat…"

"What … who …"

She gives her a paper, and Alakh starts reading it immediately without delay.

DRESS BEAUTIFULLY AND COME TO MARRIOTT HOTEL ROOM NUMBER 1105 AT SHARP AT 7:30 P.M.

Alakh immediately throws that paper there and looks around and starts throwing things around, but she can't find what she is looking for.

"What are you looking for …"

"My mobile, I should call Bhai. What is happening all of a sudden? I want him beside me …."

Aunty also starts looking for her phone with her, but even after a lot of effort, neither of them finds it; then Alakh remembers something and grabs her head.

"He threw the phone… Aunty, give me your phone…"

Taking Aunty's phone, she tries to call Vikram several times, but not even once does Vikram pick up her phone. Once again, tears are brimming in her eyes. Tears are pouring down from her eyes, and she is constantly trying to call her brother.

Finally, feeling exhausted from not having eaten anything since breakfast, she sits on her bed and tightly holds her hair.

"Why is everything happening here?"

She looks at the clock and presses her lips between her teeth, looks at her aunt, who is not in very good condition, and gets up from her place and moves towards the cupboard.

7 JUNE

10:30 A.M.

TUESDAY

He enters the room by running, but there is no one there. She is gone when he begins searching for her.

"Alakh …."

"Alakh….."

Hearing his voice, a woman comes into the room and, looking at him, lowers her eyes and tells him:

"She left a few minutes after your departure, and she was crying a lot. You did not do the right thing, sir."

"Shut up... go…"

Hearing his voice so loud, she immediately runs away in fear; he pulls his hair hard and starts screaming.

"Alakh …. Shit …."

He immediately takes out his phone and dials her number to call her, but the sound of her phone starts reverberating in the same room. He looks around the room and begins searching for her phone. After a while, he finds that phone under the bed.

"She... she will never forgive me."

He sees red spots on the bed and angrily hits his hand on the dressing table's glass nearby. He immediately calls his man to find out where she is at the moment. The man picked up the phone on the first ring.

"Pawan …. Where is she … Is she ok…? Is she with her driver …"

"Mam is a very strong girl, sir…. Yes, she is with her driver…. I think she is going back to her apartment…."

With this, Pavan disconnects the phone. He starts looking at his phone. Pawan is a man whom he trusts completely and considers very reliable. Today that man hung up his phone for the first time after completing his duty without getting any reply. He fell to the ground with a jolt, his eyes bowed down in shame but constantly looking at those red spots on the sheet.

In a moment, he shouted very loudly.

"Rehaan… Pradeep…"

He unbuttons his shirt and stands partially unclothed before they have the chance to retreat indoors. As soon as they enter, he speaks to them in a hushed tone.

"Unbuckle your belts and strike me…"

As soon as both of them come in, he tells them in a very muffled voice.

"Open your belt and hit me …"

"Sir … "

Without saying anything, he turns and kneels in front of them. Both of them know each other very well; now it is useless to say anything. If both of them do not listen to him, then he will definitely do something that will not be good for anyone at all, so both of them obey him and immediately open their belts and start whipping his back.

There is not a single sound coming from his mouth; his eyes are only on the red spots on the bed, and his eyes are completely red because of anger.

7 JUNE

7:30 P.M.

TUESDAY

MARRIOTT HOTEL

ROOM NO. 1105

She knocked on the door with her shivering hand, her feet trembling a lot. It was becoming very difficult for her to even stand properly there, so the door opened. Alakh saw a faint Hayat tied to the chair. She immediately comes in and tries to untie the rope, but the sound of someone laughing forces her to look back. She looked at him in panic.

Ravish holds a liquor bottle in one hand, and the other hand is in his pocket (injured hand). Alakh quickly maintains a beneficial distance from him but keeps Hayat on her backside. She knows very well that Hayat is unconscious at the moment, but even then she does not want to let any kind of harm come to the little girl. So she is just protecting herself from the nasty eyes that are on her at the moment. He laughs again and says.

"Don't worry, I am not interested in kids," he looks at her lustfully and says, "When I have a very delicious meal in front of me, then who looks at starters?" However, after observing her, I can confidently say that she will grow up to be very beautiful.

Alakh says very confidently while she is shivering from inside as she is in front of a man whose mind is full of garbage.

"Leave the girl, I am here …"

"Of course, why not? In a few minutes, Yuvraj will arrive, and you can leave with him and your sweet baby. I don't mind at all.…"

Alakh is very scared already, and on hearing the name of Yuvraj, her fear increases even more. She is trembling even more now. However, this time she must present herself with enormous strength. Yuvraj's name comes out of her mouth with great difficulty.

"Yu… v… raj…"

Ravish smirks at the shivering figure in front of him. He likes her fear, but he is also frustrated at how strongly she is standing in front of him. Before she could continue, Ravish grabbed her jaw, drained a full bottle of liquor, and burst into a fit of laughter.

"If I give you Yuvraj today, he will be happy and will forget everything….. Seeing you here, wet in alcohol, his intoxication will increase for you, and he will not be able to stop himself…. Be ready… for… a… pleasurable… torture… baby… and after that…."

Before he can say anything else, Alakh slaps him hard on his cheek. He immediately turns, clenching her hair in his fist, and spontaneously places a bottle of liquor in her mouth. She struggles a lot, but everything is in vain. Alakh swallows a lot of alcohol even without wanting to. She is unable to free herself from Ravish's grip, and the bottle is firmly lodged in her mouth.

Before he can make Alakh drink more alcohol, a strong punch hits him in the face. Alakh started coughing very badly. That person immediately embraced her and started rubbing her back in a soothing way. Ravish lay flat on his stomach on the floor; he turned towards them. She was able to look at him properly because she was not currently affected by alcohol. But suddenly there are tears in her eyes because of so much alcohol going into her respiratory tract too. She speaks in a very low voice.

"Yuvraj…"

He holds Alakh's face lovingly with both hands, gives her a peck on the forehead, and, looking into her eyes, tells her.

"Tomorrow is a very important day…. Go back to Chauhan mansion."

Just then some men come and take Hayat away from there with good care. She has started getting intoxicated now; she now looks at Yuvraj with half-open eyes and speaks to him.

"I don't…."

But Yuvraj does not allow her to complete her word at all and puts his finger on her lips and tells her something by bringing his mouth near her ear.

Alakh is completely shocked to hear Yuvraj's words; she clutches his shirt tightly in her fist. He can easily feel her shiver, but he looks into her eyes and speaks to her.

"I'm sorry, but I am forced because you are not ready, so I have to force you …. This is the last thing I am doing with you sinfully…. I love you. If I had to force you to keep you with me, then I don't mind doing it. Just sit. I will drop you later… but first I have to deal with him."

Yuvraj turns to face Ravish, who is grinning foolishly. Ravish immediately extends his arms so that he can hug Yuvraj. Yuvraj also puts both his hands in his pockets and moves slowly towards him.

"Yuvraj saw my gift; she is completely ready for you now. Take her now as much as you want… Enjoy her…. Make her scream your name loudly…."

Yuvraj steps directly in front of Ravish and, while making eye contact, speaks to him in a low but very dangerous voice.

"How many times have I told you that I love her? How dare you touch her in this way? Didn't I tell you never to try to look at her? Then how dare you? ....."

Ravish knows very well that Yuvraj is madly in love with Alakh. But this time he has to increase his closeness with Yuvraj again, so he tells him.

"Yuvraj … Listen, bro… She is all yours for tonight…."

But as Ravish's words do not affect Yuvraj, he looks at him even more angrily and tells him, almost screaming at him,

"She is already mine... but how... dare you... touch... her?"

Speaking in a loud voice is a significant step; Yuvraj has never said anything to Ravish that could even slightly hurt him. Today in anger, Yuvraj's eyes are getting darker. Seeing that Ravish is now frightened, he is stammering.

"Yuv…..raj…."

Even before Ravish can say anything, Yuvraj starts attacking him; Ravish does not get a chance to understand. Yuvraj is being beaten continuously without stopping; his men are standing around him.

At this moment, Yuvraj appears to be in a manic state, while Ravish lies beneath him, looking half-dead and at his mercy. Yuvraj kneels beside him, grips his hair tightly in one hand, leans in close to his face, and speaks to him.

"She is my love….. I don't want to hear any disrespectful words about my love."

"Yuvraj… Bro… I didn't…."

"Oh, come on, Mr. Ravish Sharma…… You are busy settling everything with my father, and my men have thoroughly checked your mansion, and we have come to know where you put cameras to record."

"No……"

"Shut up …. Tomorrow is a big day for me. I am going to get my love completely… So I don't want to dirty my hands with your dirty blood.…"
