Shivam's mind was a jumble of worst-case scenarios. He could imagine Niya's cruel smile, her eyes gleaming with malice as she tormented Vaani. He could picture Vaani's terrified face, her eyes pleading for help as Niya closed in for the kill.
Shivam's breath came in ragged gasps as he sped towards the mansion, his heart pounding in his chest. He was running out of time, and he knew it. He had to save Vaani, no matter what it took.
Shivam burst through the entrance of the mansion, all eyes turned to him, drawn by the commotion. He was a sight to behold, his face pale and sweaty, his eyes wild with worry.
"Where is vaani?" Shivam demanded, his voice echoing off the marble floors. "Where is Vaani?"
Dhruv, who had been standing by the bar, took a step forward, his expression concerned. "Shivam, what's wrong?" he asked, his voice low and soothing.
But Shivam was beyond consolation. He was frantic with worry, his mind racing with worst-case scenarios. He pushed past Dhruv, his eyes scanning the room for any sign of Vaani.
"She took vaani with her ," Shivam mummered, his voice was like an arrow to dhruv's heart"I need to find her, now."
Dhruv's eyes widened in alarm as he took in Shivam's frantic expression. He could sense the tension emanating from his brother.
Without a word, Dhruv turned and strode towards Vaani's room, Shivam close to his heels. The rest of the household followed, their faces etched with concern.
As they approached Vaani's room, the guests who had been lingering in the background were hastily ushered away by the staff. "Please, you all need to leave," one of the servants said, his voice firm but polite. "This is a family matter."
The guests, sensing the gravity of the situation, quickly dispersed, their faces filled with curiosity and concern. As the door closed behind them, the household was left to face the crisis that was unfolding before their eyes.
Dhruv reached the second floor, his heart heavy with foreboding. Dhruv reached the entrance of the floor, he felt like his life had come to an end. What he saw with his own eyes was too difficult for him to bear.
He saw Vaani's blood splattered all over the floor. The amount of blood was so immense that Dhruv felt like Vaani's life had slipped away. Dhruv's heart was shattered into a million pieces. What he had witnessed was too painful for him to endure.
Shivam caught hold of Dhruv, as he was about to collapse. "Bhai, are you okay?" Shivam asked, but Dhruv didn't respond. He was still staring at Vaani's blood, and it felt like his life had come to a standstill.
"Where's vaani", anant asked coming there as he didn't find her. His eyes held anger and frustration and his face tension.
"Find her!" Shivam yelled, his eyes wild with worry. "Search every room, every corner. We have to find her!"
With a sense of desperation, the group began to frantically search for Vaani. Shivam's voice was hoarse from shouting as he ordered the guards to scour every inch of the mansion.
The guards sprang into action, their faces grim with concern. They knew that Vaani's life was at stake, and they were determined to do everything in their power to save her.
As the search party combed through the mansion, their anxiety grew. He couldn't shake the feeling that they were running out of time. Vaani's blood on the floor was a grim reminder of the danger she was in.
"Please, God," nikhil whispered, his eyes closed in prayer. "Let us find her. Let her be okay."
Aarun called the commissioner directly and ordered him to block the city immediately and to start searching for vaani.
But amidst the chaos, Dhruv stood frozen in place, his eyes fixed on the spot where Vaani's blood had stained the floor. The sherwani he wore seemed to be suffocating him, the weight of his emotions crushing him.
As he gazed at the bloodstain, a storm raged within him, a tempest of emotions that threatened to consume him whole. His mind was a jumble of thoughts, each one more terrifying than the last.
The pain and anguish that Dhruv felt were indescribable. It was as if his very soul was being torn apart, leaving him a hollow shell of his former self.
No one could have predicted the turmoil that was brewing inside Dhruv. His eyes, once bright and full of life, had dulled, and his face had lost all its color. He stood there, a statue of grief, unable to move or speak.
The world around him had come to a standstill, and all that existed was the pain and the anguish that threatened to destroy him.
Without saying a word he went out of the mansion to find Vaani. His eyes were turning red. He was feeling both anger and sadness.
"why did I say yes to this wedding", he said,his voice was heavy and his vision blurred as his eyes flooded with tears.
"if anything happens to swan then I will torture you till your last breath",His eyes turned completely red while the engine of his car was making loud noise on that sensational road.
Shortly after, he received a call from Dhanush. He thought that maybe he knows something about Vaani so he picked up his call.
"dhanush where are you? Did you find Vaani", he asked,his voice choked out in emotion,
"s ...ir..rr", he heard dhanush's painful voice and his forehead furrowed and brows drew together.
"What happened", he asked while driving.
In mension, bhoomi's voice was laced with concern as she turned to Shivam, her eyes scanning his face for any sign of hope. "Shivam, what happened?" she asked, her voice trembling. "Where's Vaani?"
Shivam's expression was grim, his eyes filled with a deep sadness. He hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to break the news to bhoomi. But then, taking a deep breath, he spoke the words that would shatter bhoomi's world.
"We couldn't find her," Shivam said, his voice barely above a whisper. "niya kidnapped her and taken away."
All members faces went white, their eyes wide with horror. But Bhoomi's condition was different and felt like she had been punched in the gut, her breath knocked out of her. She stumbled backwards, her hand reaching out for support, as if she was about to collapse.
"Vaani?" she whispered, her voice trembling. "My Vaani?"
Anmol caught her and saved her from falling,"what are you saying, who is niya and why did she take Vaani and how is this possible with so much security", anmol Shout,He was losing his senses after not getting his sister, but he was able to control himself for his mother's sake.
The room fell silent, the only sound of the heavy breathing of the family members. They were all waiting for Shivam to respond, to provide some explanation for the inexplicable.
But Shivam's next words would shatter their world forever. His voice was low and steady, but it carried a weight that was crushing.
"Dad, priya is niya," Shivam said, his words dropping like a bombshell into the silence.
The room erupted into chaos, the family members staring at each other in shock and horror. Priya, the woman they had trusted, the woman they had welcomed into their home, was actually Niya, the monster who had kidnapped Vaani.
"what are you saying who is this niya and why are you bringing priya on all this", rudra Shout getting all attention. Shivam understood his condition that when he comes to know the real thing then he will be broken.
Then Shivam started telling the whole story, after hearing the whole truth Rudra strumble backward and tears started flowing from his eyes while Aarun and Nikhil had gone from there to search for Vaani.
"Did you know about the dangers lurking over Vani?" Isha asked, her voice laced with emotions, as she turned toward Anant.
Anant's expression was subber, his eyes clouding over with a mixture of worry and guilt. "Yes, I knew," he admitted, his voice low and hesitant.
Isha's eyes widened in surprise, her mind racing with questions. "Why didn't you tell me?" she asked, her voice tinged with accusations.
Anant sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I didn't want to worry about you, Isha. I thought I could handle it on my own."
Isha's voice trembled with urgency as she clutched Anant's arm. "We have to get Vaani back," she pleaded, her eyes brimming with tears.
Just as Anant opened his mouth to respond, Isha's face contorted in agony. She doubled over, clutching her abdomen as a searing pain ripped through her.
"Anant...!" she gasped, her voice barely audible.
Anant's face turned ashen as he rushed to her side. "Isha, what's wrong?" he cried, panic etched on his face.
Everyone also became alert after seeing her in sudden pain, alarm written across their faces. "Call the doctor!" Anmol shouted.
Isha's pain intensified, the mension descended into chaos. Anant cradled her in his arms, his eyes wild with worry. "Hang in there, Isha," he whispered, his voice shaking with fear. "We'll get through this together."
Anant's face set in a determined expression as he scooped Isha into his arms, her fragile form trembling with pain. "We need to get her to the hospital, now," he declared, his voice firm and urgent.
The family sprang into action, a flurry of activity as they rushed to accompany Anant and Isha to the hospital. The air was thick with worry and fear, each face etched with concern for Isha's well-being.
The family poured into the hospital's emergency room, a sea of anxious faces milling about as they waited for news of Isha's condition. Anant's eyes never left Isha's face, his grip on her hand tightening as he willed her to be okay.
The hospital's antiseptic smell and the muted beeps of machinery created a sense of detachment, a feeling that they were all just pawns in a much larger game. But Anant's love for Isha was a constant, a beacon of hope in the midst of uncertainty.
Dipti's voice trembled as she sobbed uncontrollably, her words tumbling out in a desperate bid for answers. "What's happening to my family?" she wailed, her eyes red-rimmed from crying. "First Vani gets kidnapped, Dhruv's not answering his phone and now this...... it's like we're cursed!"
Her body shook with sobs, her shoulders heaving as she struggled to catch her breath. The others gathered around her, their faces etched with concern and worry.
Shivam's expression turned grim, his jaw clenched in determination. "We'll get through this, mom," he promised, his voice firm and reassuring. "We'll find Vaani, and bhai must be looking for vaani."
But despite Shivam's words of comfort, the sense of unease lingered, a palpable presence that hung in the air like a challenge. It was as if fate itself was testing their strength, pushing them to the limits of their endurance.
****
Two days had passed since Vani's kidnapping, and the Rajvansh family had left no stone unturned in their search for her.
Dhruv, fueled by desperation and anguish, had spearheaded the search efforts, scouring every possible location where Niya might have taken Vani.
Every airport, every railway station, every bus terminal, and every highway had been combed through, but there was no sign of Vani.
The family had even contacted their business associates and acquaintances, hoping that someone might have information about Vani's whereabouts.
Despite their tireless efforts, the Rajvansh family had come up empty-handed. The silence was deafening, and the uncertainty was suffocating.
Anant who was close to Isha could not leave her alone even if he wanted to, but both of them were focused on Vani. As per the doctor's advice, she will have to stay in the hospital until her delivery takes place.
Anmol, Shivam, Rudra, whenever those three disappear, there will be a time when those thin ones will take a breath of relieve.
Anmol was angry at everyone that if they knew how they had put her at risk.
shivam who had forgotten himself in the pursuit of searching for vaani,Even here he was not able to see his own scattered marriage.
Rudra was burdened with the burden of his own mistake. He felt that it was all his mistake, it all happened because of him and his hatred for people was increasing.
Dhruv's hope was dwindling, replaced by a creeping sense of despair.Where was Vani? Was she even alive? The questions swirled in Dhruv's mind, taunting him with their silence.
He felt helpless, powerless to save the person he loved most.
Here,Dhruv's slumped form, sprawled on the ground like a broken mirror, seemed to bear the weight of a thousand regrets.
Dhruv's eyes told the tale of sleepless nights, his beard now scruffy and overgrown.
His eyes, once bright and full of life, now seemed dull and lifeless, red-rimmed from crying. They dimly stared at the dusty earth, as if searching for answers that refused to come.
The pain and anguish etched on his face was a testament to the turmoil that ravaged his soul.
His eyes, once windows to his soul, now seemed like two empty wells, drained of all hope and joy.
The weight of his grief was crushing him, threatening to consume him whole.
Dhruvan's body seemed to be weakening, his spirit slowly breaking under the strain of his loss.
He sat there, surrounded by the echoes of memories, Dhruvan felt like he was drowning in a sea of despair.
His heart, once full of love and laughter, now felt like a heavy burden, weighed down by the sorrows that had beset him.
The burden of Vani's kidnapping weighed heavily on his conscience, crushing him beneath its oppressive yoke.
He couldn't shake the feeling that he was responsible for her disappearance, that his own carelessness had led to her vanishing.
Self-reproach seared his mind, a relentless drumbeat that echoed through his thoughts. "If only I had been more vigilant...if only I had protected her better..." The what-ifs swirled in his head, a maddening vortex that threatened to consume him whole.
As the darkness closed in around him, Dhruv's body seemed to shrink, his shoulders curling inward as if to shield himself from the pain that ravaged his soul.
The world around him receded, leaving only the haunting memory of Vani's smile, and the crushing weight of his own guilt.
Dhruv's mind reeled as the memories came flooding back. He recalled the fateful day when, Dhanush, had made the ultimate sacrifice to save her.
The phone call still echoed in his mind, Dhanush's voice laced with regret and apology as he revealed his failure to protect Vani.
"Sir, I'm sorry...I couldn't save her," Dhanush's voice had cracked over the phone, the weight of his failure palpable even through the distance.His voice was full of pain, as if he was thrashing.
Dhruv's eyes had filled in horror as he listened to Dhanush's words, his mind racing with the implications.
He remembered the feeling of helplessness that had washed over him, the crushing sense of responsibility that had settled on his shoulders.
Now, as he sat amidst the darkness, Dhruv's thoughts swirled around Dhanush's sacrifice. He couldn't shake the feeling that he had let Dhanush down, that he had failed to protect Vani, just as Dhanush had.
The guilt gnawed at his soul, a relentless reminder of his own inadequacy.
Varun, who's standing his side, tried to reassure him, but even he couldn't hide the worry etched on his face. "We'll find her, sir," he said, his voice firm but laced with uncertainty. "We just need to keep searching."
But Dhruv knew it wasn't that simple. Niya had planned this meticulously, leaving no trail, no clue, no hint. It was as if Vani had vanished into thin air.
Just then, Dhruv's phone buzzed, shrill in the silence. He snatched it up, his heart racing with hope. But it was just a text from an unknown number: "You'll never find her."
Dhruv's eyes locked onto the words, his mind reeling with anger and fear. Who was this? Was it Niya? And what did they mean?
Dhruv's eyes were fixed on the screen, his mind racing with the ominous message. Suddenly, his phone beeped again, and a video call popped up. That number was the same one from which he had just received the message
Dhruv's heart sank, and his fingers trembled as he hesitated for a moment before answering the call.
The screen flickered to life, and Niya's face appeared, her eyes glinting with malice. "Hello, Dhruv," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
niya where is vaani?what did you do with her",As soon as Dhruv heard Niya's voice he started asking all these questions
"why couldn't you find her, I thought Dhruv Singh Rajvansh would protect his love",niya said mocking at him
Dhruv's eyes blazed with determination as he glared at Niya's image on the screen. "Listen to me, Niya," he growled, his voice low and menacing. "Let Vani go. Release her unharmed, and I'll make sure you're spared." his voice came like he was bagging her for his life.
Niya's expression didn't change, her eyes glinting with amusement as she watched Dhruv's desperate plea. She seemed to be savoring the moment, enjoying the power she welded over him.
Niya's smile grew wider as she began to taunt Dhruv, her words cutting deep into his soul. "You'll never find her, Dhruv," she repeated, her voice dripping with venom. "now I don't want you, now I only want your destruction, and I'll make sure she pays for your mistakes."
Undeterred, Dhruv continued to beg, his pride forgotten in his desperation to save Vani. He fell to his knees, his hands clasped together in supplication. "Please, Niya," he implored, his voice cracking with emotion. "Have mercy."
Niya's smile grew wider, her eyes sparkling with sadistic pleasure. She was enjoying this, reveling in Dhruv's humiliation.
And with a sudden, chilling laugh, the screen went black, leaving Dhruv staring at the darkness, his heart heavy with despair.
The video call ended abruptly, leaving Dhruv staring at the blank screen, his mind reeling with horror and despair.
Dhruv's reverie was shattered by the shrill ring of his phone. He hesitated for a moment before answering, his heart heavy with the weight of his thoughts.
"Hello?" he said, his voice barely above a whisper.his mind was with niya's words.
"Dhruv, where are you?" his father's voice boomed through the phone, laced with a mix of concern and urgency.
Dhruv's instincts kicked in, and he sat up straight, his mind racing with possibilities. " finding her?" he said his voice was broken and cried.
"We've received some information about isha," his father replied, his voice measured. "Come home immediately."
Dhruv's heart skipped a beat as he processed his father's words. Could it be? Could they finally have a lead on Vani's disappearance? He felt a surge of hope mixed with trepidation as he scrambled to his feet.
"I'm on my way, Papa," he said, already moving towards his car.
As they speed towards the mansion, Dhruv's mind was a whirlwind of emotions, his heart racing with anticipation. What could this new information mean? Was Vani safe? He couldn't shake the feeling that his life was about to change forever.
