"You fired me?" Rajesh still couldn't believe what he heard. Was it easy to be dismissed after serving so long in the Narendra Prasadh family?"Yes, I fire you! Now go away! I don't need you anymore!" said Narendra lightly.Rajesh was really offended. He wanted to confront Narendra but he didn't. If he did, he would damage his own reputation, Lowering his self esteem.He paused, took a deep breath and then said,"Okay, if that's what you want, Mr. Narendra! I accept your decision. But for you to know, twelve years I served, I never let you down once. All your orders I carried out well! And Miss Zoya's kidnapping, not necessarily my fault! It was she who disobeyed your orders!" Rajesh immediately got up from his seat.On the outside he looked calm, but not on the inside. He was offended and angry. In his mind appeared the intention to avenge Narendra's arbitrary decision.He would make reckoning with him!It's fine to fire him! As if his dedication so far means nothing at all. He felt
That morning Praveen got down from the taxi in front of a prominent hotel in Mumbai. He glanced at the watch on his wrist. Ten minutes less than the schedule requested by the AMA management.Actually the fashion show is still a few hours away. But there will be a briefing first. And as a model, of course, a lot of preparation is done before walking on the catwalk.But he still felt uneasy after knowing that Zoya was kidnapped. If only he could leave this job, of course he would leave and try to find Zoya now.But no! This is his first day working under the agreement contract with AMA. And he must be professional.The agency had provided him with many conveniences, both from the director and from the talent scout.He had to get rid of his personal problems first. After the show is over, he will find Zoya in his own way.He felt that the girl would not mind. Besides, the case was already in the hands of the police.Praveen stepped inside the five star hotel. Just when he headed to the f
Even though he was tired, Praveen was very happy to live one of the best days of his life. He never expected to get this priceless opportunity. The sensation he felt was the same as when he played a movie the other day.His life has now gone up, dashed away from a dark past. He is now on the right track. This is the starting point of his new world as an actor as well as a photo model.The memories in the past flashed through his mind. Starting from the street life of Chandrapur teenagers, becoming potters, and even Idli seller in Dharavi.Now he has become a photo model. Earlier he was watched by hundreds of upper-class citizens of Mumbai and he was wearing clothes designed by leading designers. And maybe soon his first movie will be shown on television.He could become a famous person soon. He was sure of it. His life would change drastically over time. And as a complement to his life is a woman named Zoya Bipasha Vijayalakshmi.But that thought crashed again into a low point realiz
Praveen immediately remembered that this was the man they had met at Infinity Mall the other day. He is none other than Zoya's ex.What is he doing here? Does he want to know Zoya's whereabouts too? Praveen wondered.Sunil also knew that the man standing at the gate was none other than Zoya's newest boyfriend. He had met him several times.Sunil immediately felt uneasy. He was unhappy seeing Praveen's presence at Zoya's residence. But he quickly took a stand, his expression immediately changed like looking at someone he didn't know and nodded slowly. Then he drove his car slowly into the road.Praveen was still stunned at the gate. The brief encounter made him also felt uncomfortable. Why was Zoya's ex-boyfriend here? Does he want to help find the girl?He suddenly remembered that Sunil is a police officer. Perhaps he was here to offer assistance? It means…Not finished thinking about it, Praveen was startled by the sound of the intercom."Come in! Meet me at the security post!" the v
When outside the luxurious mansion, Praveen exhaled harshly. He tried to calm his feelings, tried to remind himself, wasn't he ready before with all possibilities, including being kicked out by Narendra?He understood why he was kicked out. Since the first time they met, he really didn't like Praveen. Especially with this incident. Of course he dislike him more. Maybe he thought Praveen should be responsible for this kidnapping.Praveen headed to the security post and told him to open the gate."Have you met Miss Zoya's family already?"Praveen just nodded."Why only a moment?""My business is finished!""Okay! I'll open the gate for you!" He pressed the button and the gate slowly open.Praveen immediately stepped out. He vowed never to set foot in this house again. He determined to find Zoya himself.He Thought about the plans they had made before. Zoya would back off from Vishaya and they would start a new life. They both are ready to accept all risks from Narendra Prasadh.Pravee
A well-built man greeted their arrival."Is everything going well?""Everything is going according to plan!""Good! Take him to the living room and tie him up there!"The four men led Praveen to the living room and immediately tied him up to a wooden chair.He showed resistance again. He struggled by kicking the man who tried to tie him up. That was all he could do because his hands were tied behind his back.But it was useless, the four people managed to subdue him and tied him to a chair. The chair shook violently and almost fell backwards.Angry. The struggling was useless. The four men were much stronger and trained.The men looked satisfied. Managed to tie Praveen. Surprisingly, they didn't say a word. Their faces were so cold.Praveen was like a hunted animal that they have caught. So easy.Who were they? Why did they arrest him?Praveen wanted to make a sound, but couldn't. His mouth was gagged with duct tape covering almost a third of his face. Luckily his nose could still cat
"What do you want from me?" Praveen glared at the man.The man raised his eyebrows with wide eyes,"Where did you hide Zoya?""What do you mean?""You kidnapped her, right?"I didn't kidnap her!""Liar! You're the mastermind behind this kidnapping!" "What are you talking about? Why would I kidnap my girl! Are you crazy?""Don't make me angry!""I'm the one who should be mad because you scooped me up and tied me up like this!" Praveen answered without any fear.Suddenly and unexpectedly, the cricket bat flew towards Praveen's face. So loud that he screamed in pain."Ooowghhhh!"He felt poignant on his left ear and face. His ears immediately started ringing."Confess! You kidnapped her, didn't you?!"Praveen didn't answer. He tried to endure the pain. His chest rumbled. He felt the rush of adrenaline all over his body. He wanted to fight. But his hands and feet were tightly bound to the chair."Confess so I won't hit you again!"Praveen could only glare at the man.Who is this man? Wh
"So you've made the choice not to confess?""Why do I have to confess?""Okay then! I also don't want to have anything to do with you! Don't blame me if your fate ends tragically!" Rohan said again. He then gestured to his three colleagues to do something for Praveen."What are you going to do with me?""We'll see later!"Rohan immediately took the duct tape. Deftly he gagged Praveen's mouth with it.He struggled again, but the four men were too tough and he couldn't put up a fight because his hands and feet were still tied.It was easy for them to pick up Praveen's body and carried him outside.Praveen kept trying to squirm but in vain. In a moment he was already in the minivan. The car immediately moved away from the house.His chest was pounding again. He had a feeling the worst was about to happen. He felt his life would soon end.What could he do to defend himself?Nothing! All he could do was pray for a miracle. But could the miracle come right away?Even though he looked resign
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
