The two men came to the place where Zoya was kidnapped when it was dark and quiet. The house is quite remote, far from residential areas."So, this is where Ashita was being held?" Praveen asked as they entered easily. They entered using only a screwdriver and cellphone flashlight.Rajesh didn't answer, just put his index finger to his lips as a gesture to tell Praveen to be quiet.Praveen didn't ask any more questions.The situation in the dark house was dim because of the light from the cellphone. Nothing had changed since the arrest and also when Rajesh entered previously."Wait outside just in case! I'll check every room!" said Rajesh in a half whisper."No need! This house is quiet and secluded. No one will come here!""Just do what I say! Be careful outside!" Rajesh said, although slowly but in a commanding tone. Praveen was forced to follow Rajesh's orders. He turned around and stood in the doorway.For a moment he looked outside, taking in the atmosphere around him. Quiet and
Meanwhile in Juhu, at the Narendra Prasadh Mansion, the conglomerate and his wife, Pratyusha Beniwal, were still entertaining the Mumbai Police Chief, Amaneesh Chakraborty. They chatted casually.At the edge of the swimming pool, which was dimly lit by garden lights, two young people were seen talking."I'm so grateful you saved me, Sunil!" said Zoya looking at the pool water. She didn't even glance at Sunil, even though the man didn't take his eyes off Zoya. The gaze of a man who longs for the love of a girl."It's my responsibility as a police officer, Zoya. You don't need to thank me!" Sunil said, trying to relax. But actually his heart beat faster seeing the girl's appearance. His old love seemed to blossom again."The important thing is that you are safe and return to your home without missing anything," continued Sunil.Zoya was silent. She was willing to meet Sunil for nothing more than small talk. If it wasn't that man who saved her from being kidnapped, of course she wouldn't
"Let's talk about something else, Sunil! I don't like this conversation! I think our relationship is over. As for you becoming my saviour, that's another matter. As you said, isn't it your job to save people and eradicate evil?" Zoya said frankly.Sunil Chakraborty looked back at the girl without blinking."I gave up all my abilities to save you, Zoya! You mean a lot not only to your family, but also to me. Frankly, I did that as a turning point in our relationship!""I told you, our relationship ended years ago. Don't think that by saving me, I will turn on you.""I beg you, give me one more chance. I will make up for all the mistakes I made. You may not believe it, but you can ask people, especially Ramya. Am I the same as before? Do I still like playing with women's feelings? As long as you Abroad, I survived with Sharmila. From there I learned how to control myself. Not be selfish and play with people's feelings.""Then why did you guys break up?""Because she's not right for me.
After Amaneesh and his son left, Narendra Prasadh said nothing more. He was mostly quiet and seemed to be thinking in the living room.Zoya didn't say much either, and went straight back to her room.She suspected that Mr. Amaneesh must have been discussing her relationship with Sunil. She was worried that the conversation would influence her father's thoughts.What if her father was influenced and agreed to the match? Sunil is a typical dream son-in-law.If she is matched with Sunil, it will be beneficial for both parties. Wealth and power will work together to create a higher social status.And what worries Zoya is that the arranged marriage is taken to end her relationship with the man she loves.Her father really didn't like Praveen. In her father's eyes, Praveen was not worthy to be a son-in-law. Wasn't it clear all along that her father wanted to get rid of Praveen? Even telling Rajesh to eliminate him?What should she do if she was asked to marry Sunil?Reject it?No matter how
"No! You must begin to work tomorrow! I will introduce you at the management meeting! You will occupy a very important position, not just a trivial position! Finance director! You have to be professional.""No! I still need a rest! Next week I can start working!""A rest? You've rested for three days now! I think that's enough!""I'm not too healthy to work, Dad! My mind and emotions are not yet stable. I'm not ready!" Zoya said looking for an excuse.She was no longer enthusiastic about working at Vishaya even though it was a large company owned by her family. For the past few weeks she has been thinking about looking for a job at another company.Working at Vishaya, she will automatically be under her father's supervision. She will be trapped, unable to go anywhere.She couldn't meet Praveen.How long has it been since she saw her boyfriend in person? It feels like it's been a long time, months, even though in reality it's only been more than a week.She missed Praveen! Want to chat
Rajesh Kumar was much neater than usual that morning. He came in a car and immediately asked Praveen to leave."Where are we going? Why do you look so neat this morning?" asked Praveen."Did you just wake up?" Rajesh asked back. He was also surprised to see Praveen's appearance that morning."Yeah, I just woke up. I couldn't sleep last night.""Why?""I don't know! Feeling bad from last night.""What are you thinking of?""I thought about Ashita! I tried calling her many times but she didn't answer my call," said Praveen."Have you sent a message that you called from your new number? She often doesn't answer calls from unknown numbers," said Rajesh."Yes! But she didn't read it!""Maybe she didn't have her cellphone. Don't think too much about it!" Rajesh said again."I've been feeling bad since last night! I don't know, I'm just worried there's something wrong with her!""That's just your feeling! What's clear is that she's at home now. She's safe!" Rajesh replied lightly.Praveen wa
"Sorry, I'll just get straight to the point. I need your help, Mr. Zayn!" Rajesh took out Alfonso's passbook from his pocket. "I want to know the flow of funds into one of Vishaya's suspicious employee accounts! There was a flow of funds amounting to five hundred thousand Rupees some time ago."Rajesh said convincingly. The banker took the booklet from Rajesh's hand and looked at the name written on it."Alfonso Rodriguez? He's a Vishaya employee?""Yes, an employee who has just joined the security department, but has already caused problems by carrying out actions that are detrimental to the company. Now he is under company supervision. Our suspicions lie in the odd transactions on this account. There is a fairly large flow of funds for an employee of his size. Can you help, who sent the funds?" Rajesh asked."When's the transaction?""It's on the last page of this passbook. He said it was a transfer from his brother. We just want to match it with the information he gave!""So you ar
"What should we do, Rajesh?" Praveen asked when the car came out of the basement."Your question is very odd! I just said, we will follow the dance that Sunil plays. He thinks he is so great, no one will know what dance he will play, once it is finished, we will attack back. He will not get what he wants. Isn't the aim of doing this all to get Zoya? To get sympathy from Narendra and be seen as a hero?""I'm really worried, if this doesn't work. He will get Zoya. I will lose her!""Your worries are unfounded. We already have a trump card. We will reveal it at the right time!""So, for now we won't do anything? Just keep quiet?""Of course not! We will do what you plan to do.""I don't know what to do now. Initially, Ashita and I will start a new life. Ashita will give up all her rights in Vishaya. She will look for job in another company. Meanwhile, I will continue my career in the world of modeling and film. We're getting married!""Married? Are you guys really serious?""Of course we
Meanwhile, far away in Mumbai, Sunil Chakraborty still could not accept the reality of what had happened.He was angry, but did not know how to vent his anger. Why did all this come to light?This must be the result of Roohan's failure, the man he had assigned to eliminate Praveen. If only he had succeeded, it would have been a different story. That man would have rotted at the bottom of the river!He had paid Roohan. He had to take responsibility for this failure! He should not deny it like that day, at least he should get his reward!Sunil still felt his chest burning with emotion. He would teach Roohan a lesson!He immediately left the house. But his steps stopped when Amaneesh stopped him."Where are you going?""I have some business to finish!""No! You stay home for now! Let me take care of everything!""No, Dad!" said Sunil, ignoring his father's words. He continued walking towards his car and soon the car was out of the garage.Amaneesh was furious, but could not do anything.
The afternoon was approaching.The Balinese bridal make-up artist had finished dressing Zoya. She seemed satisfied with her work.“It’s done. You can look in the mirror now!” said her with a smile.Zoya turned her body slowly to face the large mirror not far from her and was immediately stunned.Is that really her?She looked very different wearing a typical Balinese bridal kebaya in maroon and decorated with gold thread embroidery. Her head was decorated with a majestic floral metal crown that was also gold in color. Both of her wrists wore gold color bracelets. Prada songket cloth with a color that matched the kebaya she was wearing further enhanced her appearance.The make-up on her face was not striking so that her beautiful face looked even more beautiful.She stared at her reflection in the mirror for a long time, not expecting it to be herself.However, she had a little difficulty moving her head because the crown was quite heavy, around three kg.She convinced herself that she
The Balinese woman looked so graceful in the traditional dress. She wore a short white kebaya with a silver Prada cloth with a floral motif.Her black hair was pulled up into a bun. She was around mid-thirties and spoke fluent English.“So you two will be married with Balinese customs and rituals?”“Yes, of course. I have longed to marry with Balinese rituals. It just so happens that India and Bali have similarities,” Zoya explained.She smiled and looked at the two of them alternately. There was a sense of amazement in her eyes. The girl looked beautiful and the man was so handsome. They both looked so harmonious, especially later when they wear Balinese traditional clothes. Of course it would be even more charming.She had served quite a lot of clients who were about to get married, and most of them were Westerners, but this time she met a unique client from India.Judging from their appearance, they were not from just anyone. If not the upper class, then they must be public figures
Zoya and Praveen had landed in Bali three hours ago and now they had checked in at a resort in the Seminyak region. Zoya had made a reservation before so they didn't have to bother booking a hotel.Praveen didn't expect to go this far. This was the first time in his life he saw the outside world directly. It never even crossed his mind to be on this island of the gods. Not for leisure pursuit but to get married!No! He didn't feel tired after a long journey, in fact when he set foot in Ngurah Rai Airport his chest was still beating fast. Since leaving India, he felt like he entered a new world.Uncertain? Alienated? No! He didn't feel lost as long as Zoya was by his side. She gave him energy and determination so strong that he was a man who could overcome all obstacles.He had passed the biggest obstacle perfectly, taking away the lover he loved so much to escape from the one-sided match made by her parents.Coming out of the airport he was already fascinated by the pleasant atmospher
“What’s wrong? What are you guys talking about in there?” Sunil asked curiously.Stupid kid!If there were no other people around, Amaneesh would have slapped him. But he held back his anger so as not to raise further suspicion.“Come on, go home! I want to talk to you at home!”“Just tell me here now. I want to know!” Sunil said curiously.Amaneesh shook his head. He saw several of his subordinates standing looking at him in surprise.“You guys go back to the office now! We’ll talk later!”His subordinates took a respectful position,“Yes, sir!” said them.Sunil couldn’t accept it, he just walked briskly into Narendra’s room and opened the door,“What are you talking about with my father, Mr. Narendra?!” he asked loudly.Narendra was sitting on the sofa realizing the mistake he had made. Seeing Sunil act like that, his disgust surfaced again, he really didn’t want to see the young man’s face again.“Just ask your father! From now on I don’t want to see anymore! Get out of my room now
Rajesh Kumar was cheered. He quickly got up and half ran out to his car. In less than half an hour he was at the cafe that Narendra usually visited.Apparently Rajesh had arrived first. Narendra was not there yet. He immediately took a seat in the corner of the cafe and ordered a drink.Not long, finally Narendra appeared alone. He entered with brisk steps and sat across from Rajesh.“How are you, sir! Long time no see!” he said, starting the conversation.Narendra ignored him and went straight to the point.“Why did you tell me this now? Why?”“Because this is the best time to reveal everything!”“No! It’s too late!”“Not for me!”“Where did you get that evidence?” asked Narendra.Rajesh then explained in as much detail as possible.Narendra Prasadh listened with an angry expression. How could a police officer do something bad to get his personal desires and the police officer was… his future son-in-law? Truly, he had been deceived!“Your daughter has found a suitable man as her life
Two investigators came to see Mr. Amaneesh that night. They brought very important news.“We have checked the immigration data at the airport and got the names we are looking for, Sir! It turns out that Miss Zoya and Praveen Jayachandran took a flight abroad. They managed to escape to Singapore!” said a police officer named Sukhdev excitedly. His other colleague nodded in agreement.“That’s right! They left at 4:10 in the morning, and this data has been matched with the airline passenger manifest!”“They fled abroad?” said Amaneesh as if in disbelief. He did not know whether this was good or bad news because if this was true, their pursuit would be more difficult unless they asked for help from Interpol.But was it possible, considering that they were not criminals or perpetrators of crimes that harmed the country?Nothing is impossible. He could have used his authority as the Mumbai police chief.“What else did you get?”“That’s it. I think this is a very important clue, so I reporte
There were no significant results of the investigation even though Amaneesh had ordered many of his personnel. Some were ordered to Dharavi, some to modeling agencies, and advertising agencies and more to guard the borders.But none of them yielded results.Towards evening, Mrs. Fateema was even more shocked to see Sunil and his men arrive at her house. They interrogated her again, even though previously in Doorna she had been visited by the police asking about Praveen's whereabouts. Of course she did not know where he was. Since Zoya's identity was revealed, he had never been there again. What shocked her the most how Sunil knew where she lives?"Don't try to hide something from me, Mrs. Fateema!" said Sunil intimidatingly."Why would I hide him whereabouts, Sir! I have no idea at all. Since Ashita, I mean... Miss Zoya is no longer in Doorna, he has also never come again! Especially since he started to become famous!"“You don’t know where he lives?”“I don’t know exactly! But he sa
The wedding ceremony that was planned to take place this morning really ended in a mess, even though the hotel had made good preparations. The hall had been neatly arranged, both the stage and the arrangement of chairs and tables for the guests. Decorations full of flowers were already available. So was the catering.But all that was in vain because the bride ran away.Approaching 10 o'clock, the hall was actually quiet. Guests who did not know and had already come were not allowed to enter the building. The hotel was closed to guests.Of course, many guests were shocked, not expecting the party to be canceled. Not a few were disappointed because they had already come.In connection with being closed, Narendra's family could not hide their shame.This was the first time in his life he felt humiliated, not by someone else, but by his own child.Was there a wrong decision that made his daughter choose to run away rather than follow his wishes?But what was wrong? Isn't it his duty as a
