Sunil took an unannounced two-day leave, with some made-up excuse. In this year he had taken more leave than he should have. But who could protest and take issue with the son of the most influential person in Mumbai?Of course, no one dared to speak out except to bear the risk of stepping down. Or transferred in the most difficult place.As long as it didn't harm anyone, of course the others just stayed silent.Yes, Sunil took day off for love affairs. He would investigate for himself what really happened to Zoya, especially his ex's relationship with her new lover.He wanted to know how far they are involved in an affair. Who is that man? He felt two days is enough time to investigate everything. As a police officer, of course he knew how to spy and investigate unnoticed. If those two days are not enough, he would ask for additional leave.He had decided that he did not need third party assistance because this is a love affair, a matter of the most private thing. And if later someth
"I know I was wrong. I apologize for that. But earlier I had a problem to solve. If I don't finish it, I can't teach today," Zoya said regretfully.In her heart she was surprised, so surprised. In the nearly two months she had been here, only a few times had she been late, but why was Mrs. Fateema so angry as if her tardiness was a fatal mistake she had made?Her two colleagues, Harshida and Shanti had also been late, but Mrs. Fateema was not as angry as this, instead she looked normal. But why this time she was so wrath?She had noticed that in the past week, Mrs. Fateema had not seemed very friendly with her. Exactly when she received Anil. Since then Mrs. Fateema began to change.Yesterday was the same,Mrs. Fateema got mad because she didn't greet the officials. In fact, she forbade Praveen not to come here often anymore.What's wrong with her?Why did she start to change and show her displeasure? Was there a wrong attitude Zoya made? But what?"Even though this is only a kindergar
"I can't accept this accusation! I didn't commit any wrongdoing at all. I'll explain later. Give me a week to finish this. If I stop now, I won't be able to witness the school's renovation. Then what about my responsibility to Anil? I promised to pay his wages until it's finished.""That's an easy matter! I'll tell him to join Rajat. It doesn't matter if he becomes Rajat's man. If he doesn't want to, he can leave this project and find another job!" Mrs Fateema said easily."If you can't explain right away where you got the money from, I can't grant your wish, Ashita! That makes me even more suspicious of you. You're just looking for a loophole to cover up fraud!" said Mrs. Fateema feeling the upper hand.Zoya was speechless. She remembered when she applied for work here. The woman accepted her easily. Now she also easily fired her.Zoya was silent for a long time. Her breath was getting tighter holding back the annoyance."Fine, if that's the decision. I'm quit. You're the principal h
Who is that man? What made Zoya fall in love with him? Wasn't he the one who he saw walking with Zoya in the mall that time? Why did he call her name with Ashita? Didn't he know the girl's true identity?Various questions filled Sunil's head.He had heard the words that came out of Zoya's mouth. She got fired for misappropriating donation money?Hey, wasn't that the stupid Principal said that Zoya donated the school building? But why she dismissed her? Sunil made sense now. He was right when he thought Zoya was in disguise.But he didn't care what happens to Zoya, he only cared about the man who win Zoya's heart.By the corner of his eye Sunil kept watching them hugging each other. It was seen that Praveen was trying to calm Zoya down and Zoya calming in his arms."Let's get out of here," Praveen took the girl's hand and led her away. Zoya obliged, not caring where Praveen taking her. They stopped a Bajaj rickshaw that happened to be passing by. Both immediately got in, and the auto
The 35-year-old man name is Alfoso Rodriguez. He is not of Portuguese or Spanish descent. He is originally from Goa, India.People from this region often have Hispanic names due to the strong Portuguese influence in the past, so many names of people and places have Portuguese elements in them. Alfonso is no exception.Even though he had a European name, he looked like an Indian from the south. His skin is dark with black and slightly curly hair. His physique is not stocky, in fact a little thin with a gaunt face. At first glance, he is not a dangerous person because of his ordinary appearance. But his criminal record in the police is countless because he is often in and out of jail.Name it a form of crime, he must have done it at least he was involved in it. Killing, robbing, extortion, even the distribution of illicit goods. Finally he got out of prison after serving 5 years out of a 7-year sentence for being involved in an attempted murder. He got a time off for behaving well whil
Sunil was sure that Alfonso would call back. He knew the man would be interested in the opportunity he offered. A person like Alfonso could never turn down a tempting offer.Sure enough not even an hour, the man called back. And Sunil hastily picked it up."As I thought you must have called me again!""Don't get excited. I'm just wondering someone like you contacted me to commit a kidnapping. Why didn't you just do it? Of course you can get as much money as you want? Why me?" asked Alfonso."Because I don't need money! I already have. I'm letting this secret out just to help you. You've been to prison many times. Every time you get out you can't survive out there because you're not like most people who settle for menial jobs with low income. I am pity of you."" I don't need a pity.""Don't be arrogant!""Who are you?""I told you, you don't need to know!""What is benefit for you if I kidnap Narendra's daughter?""We both are lucky. You get the ransom, and my resentment is avenged to
They split up in the alley towards Zoya's rented house. Praveen only got there to accompany her, because Zoya only wanted to get there.The Dusk had already passed and turned into night. It's 9:15 when Zoya glanced at her watch."Are you sure, just up here?" asked Praveen reluctantly letting Zoya into the narrow alley and the light was dim. The only lighting came from the front of the semi-permanent tenement houses that lined up on either side of the alley which had lights installed on purpose."Yes! I know you must be tired after a long day of training. Besides, I'm used to going this way!""All right then. Be careful, okay?""It's okay. It's safe! You see there are still people sitting in front of the house, right? So, don't worry." Zoya said."What are you going to do tomorrow?" asked Praveen before they parted ways."I don't know! What's clear is that I'll be free tomorrow. Maybe I'm enjoying my last moments here!""I can't accompany you, Ashita. Tomorrow I will be training all da
"How much donation money did she misappropriate?" he asked.Miss Fateema shrugged."I haven't checked yet, there could be large number!" said the woman again."Are you sure she misappropriated the money?""Of course I am sure!" Then Mrs. Fateema explained her suspicions.Rajesh fell silent. He didn't say a word. It's really didn't make sense! The Principal had made a fatal decision based solely on assumptions without proof!But it's also interesting. He would see what Zoya doing after getting fired."She didn't say anything?" "No, she just accepted the decision and left."Rajesh nodded. He refrained from telling who Ashita Agrawal really was.But he got confused. Why had no reports come in on him about this? Not even from Anil the spy?His eyes reflected regret."Okay! I'll go then. Sorry I'm only here for a while because I have other things to do!" said Rajesh leaving immediately."Why didn't have a seat first?""No need!" Rajesh kept walking. He stepped quickly. There were several
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
