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
Rajesh quickly covered his face with the menu book that was on the table, he pretended to look at it."Damn it! Narendra is here too! Quickly cover your face, don't let him see you!" Rajesh ordered Praveen. His voice was barely suppressed.Praveen immediately did what Rajesh told him to do. But he didn't cover his face with the menu book because Rajesh had already used it. He only used his palms to cover his cheeks, mouth and nose. As a result he looked like someone is about to sneeze.But it's much better."Why is he here?" Praveen asked, also in a low voice, almost a whisper."How would I know!""We shouldn't have come here! Didn't you say he often comes here? How stupid we are!" The words just came out of his mouth."Calm down! Don't panic! Keep your face covered!" Rajesh ordered.They both tried to be as calm as possible so as not to look suspicious. Rajesh kept holding the menu book level with his face but his eyes occasionally glanced at the two people. Hopefully they don't take
Praveen hurriedly walked away. Rajesh was forced to end his conversation with Vikram."Praveen, Wait!" he said.Praveen didn't look back, just continued walking towards the parking lot."Are you offended by what my friend said earlier? Are you considered a lowly person?""Anyone would be offended to be thought of like that!""Don't worry! He just doesn't know you! It's natural for him to think that way!" Rajesh tried to calm Praveen.Praveen did not respond again. He tried to calm his feelings. Is that how he is in people's eyes? A nobody trying to get a rich girl? Maybe that's what was in Narendra Prasadh's head, so he didn't want to have an unknown future son-in-law.No! He can't be angry! Maybe right now he is considered a nobody, but he will prove that he is the one worthy of Zoya.Currently he was starting a career as a star. The road stretches out before his eyes. He just goes along with it. He also has self-respect and integrity.In fact, Sunil is a bad guy! The bad tactics he
He was stunned. It had been a long time since he had informed Mr. Manoj about his whereabouts. Too many problems, he forgot to contact the man. He didn't even attend the film's launching event.He'd better go to the production house. It was clear that he didn't want to lose the opportunity to become an actor even though there were other offers to become a photo model. That's a golden opportunity that not everyone can get. He could imagine how difficult it was for him to participate in various castings, competing with many people to get a role in a film.No! He couldn't waste that opportunity.He quickly turned around and left. He didn't buy lunch. His hunger disappeared somewhere, especially when he saw people still queuing to buy biryani.***Praveen ate up the remaining coffee and cake. He intended to go to the production house soon. But just as he was about to get up, his cell phone rang. From Ashita! How happy he was. It turned out the girl called back."Prav..." the girl's voice
Ten minutes later, Danishka was fast asleep. Zoya immediately got up from the bed and stared at her sister for a while to make sure the sleeping pill really worked.She looked like a sleeping beauty. So Beautiful.Zoya was stunned. Her guilt surfaced again. How cruel she was to do that for her own sister. But she had to do this.She patted Danishka’s shoulder. She was silent and unresponsive."I'm sorry, Danishka!" she said once again with regret.She got up from the bed to the balcony and opened the door. Outside she called Praveen."Prav, I'll be down in a minute, wait on the balcony!" she said in a trembling voice."Is your sister asleep? Is everything okay?""Of course! I've given her sleeping pills! Everything is according to the plan.""Okay, I'll wait for you! I'm ready too!" "I'll be down in five minutes!" Zoya turned off her phone. She then rushed into the closet and took the bag she had prepared. Before she carried the bag, she took out a roll of rope and when she was abou
It was almost midnight when Zoya was finally able to go to her room.“Aren’t you tired, Danishka?” Zoya asked her sister.Danishka shook her head. Her face looked cheerful.“I won’t just let this party pass me by! You’re so lucky, Sis! Dad threw a party this big for you!” said her sister.“What’s lucky? Being mated suddenly is lucky?”“Your mate is your ex, right? You’ve both dated before?”“Actually, I didn’t intend to get married! But never mind! After all, everyone gets married eventually, right?” said Zoya, not wanting to prolong her conversation with her sister.What is clear is that she is now in her room and carrying out her next plan.But no! She had to wait for Danishka to sleep first. If she didn’t sleep, Zoya had prepared an alternative scenario.But honestly, she didn’t have the heart to give Danishka sleeping pills.But what if there was no other way?Zoya went to the bathroom to freshen up and call Praveen.While in the bathroom, she immediately took out her phone and ty
“They’re coming! You should stay in your room! Don’t go anywhere!” Rajesh said over the phone.Rajesh was still in the cafe across from the hotel monitoring the situation.As he watched Narendra’s family group enter the hotel, he swallowed his saliva and felt a bitter sensation in his throat.He cursed his fate for no longer being a part of Narendra’s family. Ten years of devoting himself to Narendra and being his confidant, did not end his life well. Instead he ended up as a loser.It was so easy for Narendra to dump him.Just because of Sunil Chakraborty.But he did not regret it because now he had the chance to get back at him.He would embarrass Narendra and Sunil. He swore that the wedding party would end in vain.He would help the bride run away with another man. A man Narendra hated.He never imagined that he would end up in a reverse position like this. He still remembered how Narendra ordered him to get rid of Praveen. With the power he had, he beat the young man until he alm

Praveen was back in the hotel room when Narendra Prasadh's family troupe arrived. Two luxury cars entered the hotel grounds in a convoy and stopped in front of the entrance. Not far behind were five more SUVs carrying employees and servants.Narendra Prasadh was in the first car. He got out of the car after the hotel staff opened the car door for him.He appeared to be wearing traditional clothing instead of a suit, and that did not diminish his authority as a wealthy businessman.His wife, Pratyusha Beniwal followed after him. She also appeared to be wearing a saree with gold ornaments. Precious stone jewelry in the form of a necklace and bracelet added to the luxury of her appearance. Truly extraordinary. Then followed by her youngest son Rahul.Before entering, the graceful woman stood for a moment waiting for the next car. The sedan carrying Zoya and her sister Danishka.The hotel staff also swiftly opened the car door for Zoya. She got out of the car carefully while fixing her sa
That morning at Amaneesh Chakraborty's residence, there was also a lot of activity.They would perform Ganesh puja, a ritual to ask the god for blessings.The procession will be held this afternoon. Many of Mr. Amaneesh's extended family had also attended.The joy radiated from the face of the Mumbai Police Chief. Of course, this was a happy day because his proud son, Sunil Chakraborty, was getting married.As a father, he could imagine how lucky Sunil was. Having a good career in the police force and also having a beautiful wife who was the daughter of a rich man in Mumbai.It felt like a dream.All preparations had been done well by a third party. They just went through it. Everything went smoothly according to expectations.Sunil should have also been very happy that day. But it was as if something was bothering him, and it was visible on his face. He was not completely happy because of one problem that had not been resolved until now.He should have been able to overcome Praveen a
Praveen was still lying in bed that morning. Even though the hotel room was so comfortable, he had not been able to sleep at all since last night.This was a very decisive moment in his life, preparing himself to carry out the plan he had made as best he could.He had thought about it down to the smallest detail so that this plan would succeed. There should be no gaps or opportunities for him to fail.If he failed, he could end up in prison.Taking away the prospective bride who is none other than the daughter of a prominent conglomerate and the prospective daughter-in-law of the number one person in the Mumbai police?It would definitely create a scene and become national news. More sensational than the kidnapping that Zoya experienced before!If he failed, his face would adorn the front pages of newspapers and even television, not as an actor or model, but as a criminal. The career he had built with great difficulty would end tragically.No, that couldn't happen!He immediately got
It was late afternoon when they returned from Dharavi, but nothing happened. Praveen's room was empty just like when Sunil visited earlier. There was no sign of him coming here. Nothing had changed at all.It was just that Zoya felt a different atmosphere when she saw the room. There was a longing that enveloped her, imagining when she and Praveen were alone in the room.She remembered the time she slept over during the heavy rain that caused flooding due to the moonson. Even though the lights were out and it was raining outside, she felt at peace in Praveen's arms all night. The man really took good care of her.There were indeed many memories in Dharavi. If not with Sunil, she would have gone to school to meet the teachers there, Mrs. Fateema and her two other friends, Harshida and Shanti. Or if necessary she would go to her rented house.Had everything remained the same or changed? She really didn't know."Where have you been? Why are you home at this hour?" Mrs. Pratyusha asked wh
A surprise for Zoya, but not for Sunil as they headed to the AMA office. A large billboard on the side of the road caught the attention of passersby.An advertising billboard starring Praveen. Apparently the advertisement had spread to several strategic places.Zoya was happy to see the billboard. She wanted to take out her cellphone and take a picture of it as memorials. But she didn't because didn't want to offend the man beside her. She didn't say a word, even trying to divert attention by pretending not to see it."Damn it! I don't want to see that billboard!" said Sunil."Isn't he the person you want to meet now?""Right, but not with his poster!""Okay! Just look away!" said Zoya indifferently. She tried not to look at the billboard as if it wasn't important.Sunil's gut feeling told him that she deliberately pretended unwilling to see the billboard. He was sure, deep down in her heart, she was happy to see it. It made Sunil even more annoyed.If only he could find him, he woul
