"Shift her to the warehouse immediately.""She is still unconscious.""That is exactly what is required at this time."Anirudh remembers his last conversation with his men. Suhani was supposed to be in his mansion, but somehow his sixth sense asked him to take some necessary actions. He shifted her to one of his warehouses. Once Rajveer and his team left he stayed inside his mansion till dawn. He knew his movements could be tracked and his steps can be traced. He took some time and took out his car to reach his warehouse. His men were guarding the room where she was kept like some high-security zone. They didn't even move for a second. He walked inside the room and found a lying figure on the bed. Her face looked stressed out and her forehead got a small bandage due to the impact of falling. She didn't lose much blood but losing her senses she made his work smoother. He carried her outside on that day and called out for the doctor to run a check-up on her. Walking towards her bed he
24 Hours Later "What have you decided?""I need to get her back."Both the father and son sat across the office desk inside Rajveer's law firm. Twenty-four hours had passed since Suhani went missing. Even though they knew the culprits, they couldn't take a step against them. Mission report was being lodged by them. Sudhir went into a depression since Rajveer returned empty-handed from Madhban's house. Rohini had started calling Rajveer's number since she found her sister's cell phone out of reach. This sister had never spent time without fighting or communicating with each other. The sudden drop in their conversation made Rohini suspect something serious. She was about to fly back to India when Sudhir strictly told her to stay back in the US. Bringing his other daughter into this mess would increase the risk factor without any doubt. He won't be able to protect when the enemies are already well prepared while waiting for the next prey. This was the third time Rohini's caller ID
Rajveer was sitting in his dark bedroom. The starry sky through the window seemed nothing but some hollow to him. He stepped out of the room to place himself on the balcony. Clutching the fence he inhaled sharply to revive those memories he had with Suhani. He kissed her first in this balcony only under such moonlit night. She was standing close to him while counting those stars. "How many have you counted Veer?""Zero.""You lost the game. Huh." She put her tongue out and smiled like a child. "So what, I gained you." He pulled her in his embrace to hug her tightly, submerging her head in his chest."I am always yours." "I know." He replied massaging her scalp.Rajveer was standing on the same balcony but alone and lost. His grip touched those metal fencing once more to feel her touches. "Where are you Suhani?" A deep sigh left his mouth....................."How is she now?""Still in an unconscious state. But I think we should stop this now. Keeping a healthy person under such
Malhotra Mansion"How is she now?""She is fine. It was just because of some overdose of specific anesthesia.""F**king Asshole." Rajveer cursed under his breath once the doctor finished examining Suhani. Ragini and Sudhir both arrived at his house once they heard about Suhani. Rajveer almost lost his sanity when he found her unconscious with a high fever on the abandoned road. Only he knew how hard it was for him to drive back to the city after getting her back."I will never be able to pay you back Rajveer." Sudhir held his hand while speaking in his heavy voice. "I am sorry for entangling her safety due to my case." "It's fine Rajveer. We all know what sort of situation has arrived and under which circumstances we have lost her. We are glad that she is back. You both should get married now." Ragini wiped the last tear looking at her daughter's sleeping figure. Sudhir left Rajveer and took Ragini outside to discuss their marriage with Vinayak and his wife.Rajveer sat on the bed b
It took almost three days to stabilize Suhani's condition. Now and then she was waking up drenched in sweat and shouting Anirudh's name."What an irony." Rajveer let out a huge sigh while gulping down his morning coffee. He was all sitting beside her for the entire time, but her lips pronounced Anirudh's name instead of him. She was requesting Anirudh for not putting her to sleep. Every time her lips parted, he felt an urge to kill Anirudh with his bare hands. How dare he engrave such an amount of fear in her heart and mind. As Suhani's condition stabilized she started coming back to his law firm as usual. None of them talked about Banshali's case. Both of them signed an unknown deal of shutting themselves in that matter. Though Rajveer was unaware of one single point. Suhani hadn't stopped even after being kidnapped. She might have stopped bothering about the case but didn't restrain herself from digging up more about Anirudh. She kept on finding some strings that could lead her to
"That was............" Rajveer didn't finish his words when Suhani started with her own set of adjectives."Rude? Unexpected? Savage?""Don't know, but you shouldn't. The fight was in between us.""I have slapped him not because of you only. But also for kidnapping me."Both of them sat together in a coffee shop after two days of that incident. It was hard to bring Suhani out of her house since she was kidnapped. Apart from visiting his law firm, she didn't step out of her house. A lot of time she was surrounded by reporters to pass a statement over her missing incident. It was mental torture for her. She couldn't believe what sort of questions these people were having to ask a human being. One of them asked her if it was a group plan of Rajveer and her or not. As if they framed her kidnapping to let loose the case. Somehow Rajveer's reputation was clear to prove a point that he couldn't be bribed."How is the situation now?" Suhani asked Rajveer looking at his face while playing wit
"Suhani, stop. Listen to me first. Let me come with you." Ragini was yelling at her daughter who lost her basic sensibility. She ran towards the mansion's garage like a scared woman running to save her life. Without wasting a single moment she rushed towards the car and climbed up in the driver's seat. Her retreating figure and disappearance of the car brought another dreadful fear in Ragini's conscious mind. "Amir, Gadi nikalo" (Amir, bring the car)She called for her driver who was standing at a distance looking at them. In the morning itself Sudhir left in a hurry and now his daughter Suhani almost ran away. Amir, being the driver for the past ten years, had never seen such a chaotic situation in his master's house. He looked stressed and brought the car out for Ragini. "Madam, Kaha?" (Madam, where?)"Drive to City Hospital. As fast as you can." Ragini dabbed a tissue on her forehead to wipe those sweats. Neither Sudhir had cleared the situation nor did she get a chance to clarif
Madhban Mansion"Bhai, it wasn't a full-proof plan. Vinayak is digging up the matter.""Let him.""We could be in a mess again. Until it is confirmed as suicide, we would be still dangling in between truth and dare game.""I don't think so." Anirudh kept on replying as a robot to his brother's questions."Are you even paying attention bhai?" Adarsh wanted to confirm the matter as he found Anirudh aloof."Of course." He lifted his hand in a gesture to show his way of paying attention.Even though his body was rooted in Madhban Mansion, a small part of his brain was denied to leave cabin number 124 of City Hospital. Suhani was lying there when he saw her for the last time. The handprint was visible on her flushed cheeks due to his slap. But he was left with no other choice. That was the only way of calming her down as she had lost her mental stability. She was speaking absurd words and behaving like a maniac. It was expected from her during the situation but what she needed at that mome
Three Months Later Mumbai High Court"Hi dad, yeah... I will be back soon. No... No... It's fine. I will manage." Suhani was rushing out of the courtroom to discuss a matter with her colleague."Hey, Srishti. Yeah, tell me." Her old pal Srishti was waiting for her to get some help on a matter before going for her next hearing."Yeah. Just go through it once. I am worried about this point only. I am sure the opposing lawyer would drag it." Srishti explained the matter."Oh, yeah. Do one thing. You can counter that with this. Anyhow your opponent is already accused of tax fraud. Bring that record out. It would make your point stronger." Suhani explained the rest of the matter. "You are seriously a gem Suhani. Rajveer has trained you well." Just after seeing the changing emotions of Suhani, Srishti regretted her own decision of blurting out her dead fiancé's name."Sorry. I didn't mean to drag it." Srishti added again with an apology."It's ok. I can't deny his contribution to my life.
Paris, France "What time zone is Di?" Rohini asked from the opposite side of the call."It should be CET (Central European Time) but Madrid, Paris, Brussels come under Romance Standard Time," Suhani explained. This was the second call of Rohini she was attending after her parents called twice and took a nice note of her well-being. None of them knew that Anirudh was present with her during the journey."Wow, Di. Romance. How are the boys in Paris.""Pretty nice." She spoke while looking at a crowd of boys standing a few meters away. "Send some to the US. I am bored of these American pies."They had a pretty nice conversation before dropping the call. Anirudh had followed her gaze. Once she dropped the call, he grabbed her attention by saying."Why were you gawking at the group of boys?" Suhani's mouth fell open hearing that. She couldn't control her laugh and burst into tears. Leaning on him she kept on laughing clutching her stomach."Are you jealous? Seriously? I was looking for
"I thought you would ditch that plan," Suhani spoke, astonished, after seeing Anirudh standing at her hotel lobby."Keep dreaming," Anirudh replied curtly. "I wonder why I even offered you to join." Suhani shook her head in annoyance while looking for some other stuff in her room. Anirudh was standing at the doorstep. He came to take her out to visit Suermondt-Ludwig-Museum which is one of the major tourist attractions in Aachen. Suhani was shuffling through her things when she noticed him standing away."I don't think I have a bomb planted in my hotel room. You may enter." She threw her words without raising her head in Anirudh's direction."Just wanted to confirm though." He gave a sarcastic smile while stepping into the room after closing the door. "What are you searching for by the way?" He asked, standing near the couch placed in the room."Your head.""Oh. But it's here. Look." Anirudh pointed at his head when Suhani finally raised her head and Anirudh got a proper glimpse of
Aachen, Germany Suhani was standing near the Aachen Cathedral admiring its architecture. Due to its position near Dutch and Belgium Border, it has a different charisma to attract tourists. Those beautiful gothic sculptures and mesmerizing creations were enough to catch her eyes. It was mid-January and many people didn't intend to visit Aachen during this period of time. It is known as the chilly month where the amount of snow or rain remains 59mm almost. Rubbing her palm even after wearing thick gloves Suhani tried to generate some external heat. The white layer of snow around the church area was giving her a vibe of a snow-white movie. As the little amount of snowfall started she wrapped the big fur jacket more tightly around her body. Walking through the medium layer of snow she stood in front of the cathedral to capture a few more glimpses of what she was viewing.It was a weird decision to come alone on her pre-booked honeymoon. These moments were supposed to be cherished with Ve
"Di, did you go to meet him?""No, just met him before his departure." "And then?"Nothing. I gave him a bouquet and told him not to return to India." Suhani wanted to avoid this conversation from the beginning. She remembered the expression on Anirudh's face when he mentioned his departure with an expectation from her side. She kept her face straight and replied with a single word. "Oh. Great. What took you so long to stay back." She knew it was the most pathetic and harsh statement that she had ever passed to someone. He didn't retort, rather have a weak smile to reply."Vista Project. I had to settle the matter as Adarsh was still naive in that matter. And the other reason is that I need an explanation longer, I bet." "Good to see you Anirudh." That was Suhani's last reply before they drove out of the place. Stopping at a nearby flower shop, she gave him a bouquet of beautiful flowers along with a small expensive pen."I hope you know a pen is mightier than the sword." She menti
2 Weeks Later "Anirudh Madhban made his way to the top list of World's young billionaire list after his remarkable job in grabbing the Vista Project." ~ India Today and Tomorrow"Anirudh Madhban, a German-based business tycoon, got his name engraved in the list of top 10 richest men of the world." ~ Times Now Suhani kept those newspapers aside while concentrating on her breakfast. "Huh. There should be a name for Rohini too. The youngest devil made her name by hacking into Madhban's system and also helping them to hammer out the deal." Suhani mumbled under her breath while chewing the hard toast thinking it was Anirudh's ego and attitude. "Are you angry over Anirudh's success?" Sudhir removed his reading glass and kept the newspaper aside while asking her daughter."No.""You shouldn't be. For the past one month, you both were..." Her mother was trying to say something when she cleared her throat."Excuse me. It was purely business. I wanted to put Rishi behind the bar and he want
Mumbai High Court "Mr. Rishi, Do you have anything to say on your behalf?" The judge asked him for one last time while looking at the rest of the documents. The courtroom fell silent. It was the second hearing for Banshali's. Suhani was standing a bit away from the witness box where Rishi was standing. She was the person who made sure of bringing him to his knees. Every single question, every single point took a turn to hang Rishi from every angle.Sudhir and Ragini were sitting with blank expressions on their faces. From Banshali's side, Dhiraj was sweating like a pig. The calmest person was none but Anirudh. The whole courtroom was shocked when Anirudh was called into the witness box by Suhani for some question-answer rounds. Every single time she threw a question, their eyes met and at least one of them stumbled to carry forward their duty. She had no plan to bash on him. She took only that much of what was required to make the case strong. Neela's family members were also present
"Unfortunately I can't believe that you hid another major fact from Rajveer too. Your secret interaction with his father, Vinayak. I bet Rajveer knew nothing of it."Suhani froze at her place when Anirudh perfectly wrapped his words around her disheveled state. It took months to gather up such information. Even though he wasn't sure of everything, he knew Vinayak and Suhani had something going on between them. He didn't know what but his guess wasn't wrong in all aspects. Sudhir backed off from helping Vinayak in Vista Project the moment he got to know about the black money that would be involved in that matter. Syndicate already had sweet and sour terms with Rane Enterprise due to Sudhir's way of handling business with too much pure ideology. Now the only person who could dare to ask Sudhir to help Vinayak out or to support was none but Suhani. If Sudhir had ever listened to someone then it was Suhani. Anirudh wasn't sure he just tried to beat around the bushes but immediately calcul
"Correct. And Adarsh was not the murderer. At least not in the case of Aryaan Mathoor." Anirudh spoke, making Suhani's eyebrows knitted with confusion. As much she remembered Aryaan Mathoor was murdered by Adarsh though he was not proven guilty. She arched her brows and kept a minimal distance in between them to avoid engaging in any unlawful activity. "I don't believe it." "I can't help it. The murder weapon was not found and he died because of one-shot not because of stabbing.""What do you mean by that?" Suhani started getting a grip on that matter. Aryaan Mathoor had two injuries even though the forensic report declared the cause of death as a gunshot. That bullet was fired from a distance of a few meters approximately. But it was mentioned whoever had fired he was not standing close to Aryaan but whoever had stabbed him, he was standing close. "Wait. Someone stabbed him and someone shot him dead. Do you mean to say....." Suhani stopped in between her words."Of course Adarsh h
