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
Suddenly there was a knock on her room door."Sorry, Prav! Someone knocked on the door. We'll continue this conversation later..." Zoya hurriedly hung up the phone. Before she had put her phone away, Mrs. Pratyusha had already entered her room.“I heard you just called. Who?”"A friend of mine!" Zoya answered.“Your friend? As far as I know, none of your friends have been here to see you! Even your close friend Ramya didn't come here!” Mrs Pratyusha said again as she sat on the edge of the bed right next to Zoya.The girl was a little confused.“You didn't call that Dharavi guy again, did you?” asked her mother. There was a suspicious look in her eyes."Why do you say that, momr?""You'd better be honest!""Mom! I didn't receive a call from him! Our relationship was interrupted when I was kidnapped! He doesn't know my current phone number. I also don't know his number, because my old cellphone was taken by the kidnapper!" Zoya answered.“Oh, thank goodness! You'd better not have any m
"But take me somewhere before taking me to your destination!" Zoya suddenly put forward a condition."No problem! I'm ready to take you anywhere!" Sunil replied without the slightest expression of objection on his face. He was of course happy because it meant he could spend more time with Zoya.“Okay, I'll change clothes first! You just wait.” Zoya immediately stood up and walked towards her room.Behind Sunil she smiled. Maybe for Sunil this was an opportunity to hang out with Zoya again. And this is a good sign.He knew that his father had a serious conversation with Narendra Prasadh about their relationship. Mr. Narendra instead wanted to accelerate their relationship to the level of marriage.Which man is not happy, his true love back in his arms?Everything seemed so easy, and the universe was on his side. While waiting for Zoya to change clothes and make up, he whistled in the magnificent living room.Meanwhile Zoya's mind imagined the opposite. She only deceived people, especia
Zoya immediately approached the woman and nodded her head and said,“Good afternoon, Mrs. Fateema! How are you? Nice to meet you!" Zoya greeted in a friendly manner as if there had never been a problem with her.Seeing Zoya acting as usual, Mrs. Fateema immediately bowed and cupped her hands in salute and said in a trembling voice.“Miss Zoya! I-I'm really sorry for treating you badly. I didn't know that Ashita was you! I am sorry!" the woman's voice trembled. There was extreme embarrassment on her face that she tried to suppress. Zoya smiled and Mrs. Fateema became even more embarrassed.Mrs. Fateema's eyes looked red. Zoya spontaneously grabbed her hand.“For me there is no problem, ma'am. Just forget what happened. I'm not mad at you! After all, everyone makes mistakes, right?"“But I really went too far!” she started crying. “How evil of me to accuse you of nonsense! I'm sorry Miss Zoya!”Zoya immediately embraced Mrs. Fateema and calmed her down. Instead of being calm, she became
“You guys are getting married? That fast? Do you know each other yet? You just left Praveen like that?” Shanti asked, almost in disbelief.“Praveen is a nobody! "Zoya and I have known each other for a long time and have been dating for quite a long time," said Sunil.Shanti looked gaping. So all this time, Praveen and Ashita's relationship was fake? Just a gimmick?Harshida nudged her colleague's arm. She knew that Shanti has feelings for Praveen. All this time she kept it hidden in order to maintain her good relationship with Ashita. Now that opportunity is open again.“Praveen only knows Ashita, not Zoya!” Sunil said again. It was clear that he was not happy with Shanti's words, as if he had taken someone's lover.“So, Praveen doesn't know the real you?”Zoya didn't answer with words, just smiled as usual. But that smile was difficult for others to interpret."When you get married, don't forget to invite us, okay? We will definitely come!” Harshida said changing the conversation.Zo
Zoya was even more shocked by what Praveen said that he was also kidnapped and thrown into the river from the bridge by Sunil's men.Instantly, she saw that the man in front of her was no longer human. But a monster who can do anything to achieve his goals.“Why are you looking at me like that?” Sunil asked, surprised to see Zoya's face suddenly change.Zoya shook her head weakly. She wanted to just leave Sunil, hoping not to see him again for the rest of her life."I... I..." Zoya was speechless.She did her best to strengthen herself and act naturally so that the man wouldn't get suspicious.“I just don't want to get married yet, Sunil!”"Why? Everyone gets married eventually, right?”"But I..." Zoya stopped again.Sunil tried to take Zoya's hand, and caresses it gently. But that actually made Zoya shudder even more."What happened to you?"Zoya tried to make an excuse that Sunil can accept.“I am very grateful because you saved me. You are my savior. If it wasn’t because of you, I
“I want to talk to you, Dad!” Zoya said when Narendra Prasadh had just entered the house that night.She had been waiting for her father since this afternoon, but the man came home late at night.She didn't want to talk on the phone or ask him to come home quickly because she wanted to talk directly without disturbing Narendra's super busy schedule.“How about later? I just got home from work, I haven't showered or changed clothes yet!”“I don't want to wait any longer!”"Want to talk about what?" asked Narendra looking at his daughter sharply. He pretended to ask even though he already knew what Zoya wanted to talk about.“There's something important I want to ask.”"Why don't you just call if it's important?""No! I want to talk directly! I don't want to disturb your work time either!”"Just wait until your father finishes showering and changing clothes, Zoya!" said her mother who appeared from behind."No! I want it now!” Zoya said like a child who insisted on asking her parents to
That evening Praveen was at a cafe with Rajesh Kumar. They were planning what steps they would take to deal with Sunil and Amaneesh Chakraborty.It is clear that Sunil and Amaneesh are not just random people. If they reveal the truth, it will clearly be detrimental to themselves. Even though they have proof, it will be difficult to defeat them. Surely many people will not believe it.Amaneesh Chakraborty is the number one person in the Mumbai police. Sunil is also a policeman who has a brilliant career. They clearly have the resources deploying them to turn things around.What is clear is that it would be impossible for a father like Amaneesh to let his beloved son be behind bars."You should really go take Zoya out of this country, Praveen! You really love her, don't you?"“That's what I thought! But I don't know how. Since this incident, Ashita's protection and guard will be multi-layered. She already told me that she's not free to go anywhere now. If she goes out there will be som
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
