Zoya studied the mid-thirty man with a slight frown. Mrs Fateema's man? She was at Doorna Kindergarten for two months but never once met this man."Sorry I don't know you! I don't think we've ever met either." Zoya said probingly."But you are Ashita Agrawal, right? You works at Doorna Kindergarten? You were fired by Mrs Fateema just now? That's why she sent me to meet you! She has something to discuss with you about this dismissal!" Alfonso tried to convince her.He said as if he knew everything, even though he only knew the information from Sunil, who also overheard when he saw Zoya talking to Praveen.Zoya frowned. Mrs Fateema wanted to talk to her? Why did she order someone? Didn't they meet at school earlier and she avoided her?If she had something to talk about, why not just get on with it?"Sorry, I have nothing to do with Mrs Fateema. I've quitted and no longer teaching at Doorna. Tell her there's nothing to talk about anymore!" Zoya said with the intensity of her voice risi
Alfonso was still busy driving. Zoya had no idea where the man would take her."Where are we going?" asked Zoya realizing she didn't know the road they passed trough anymore."We? You think I'm taking you out on a spree?" said Alfonso disliking Zoya's question."But you're taking me somewhere right?""Obviously not a place for fun! I'll hide you in a container and lock you from the outside, got it?""You're going to tie my hands and feet too?""You want me to do that?""But that's what I see in the movies. Hands and feet tied and mouth taped!""I will if you make things difficult for me and try to run. But as long as you're cooperative, I won't hurt you!""Thank you!" Zoya said slightly relieved."Now give me your phone!" said Alfonso suddenly.Zoya was indifferent."Give it to me!" Alfonso snapped while taking out his gun. Reluctantly Zoya took her phone from her bag and gave it to Alfonso.The chance to call is gone now. How will she contact someone especially Praveen and her family
Praveen had finished the training that afternoon. He looked cheerful because it was not as difficult as he had imagined. In the training session he was trained how to walk on the catwalk.At first he was a little stiff walking according to the coach's directions, but the second time he started to do it and it was not difficult at all. It just took a lot of confidence. And he already had the potency.Earlier he had also signed a contract agreement for a fashion show in the coming days. He would get paid quite well even if he was a newcomer. He is really going to be a model.And this is good news not only for himself, but also for Ashita. Praveen couldn't wait to tell Ashita.Not long after leaving the AMA Agency building, he immediately took out his cell phone and called the girl. He was just a little surprised why Ashita wasn't here to pick him up even though yesterday she had promised to come here and they would date again when training was over.Did she forget? Or busy packing to re
Narendra Prasadh almost slammed down his phone because annoyed that Zoya didn't pick up the phone that night. He had tried several times to call, but always failed."This is too much! She's already showing resistance!" he said. His wife, Mrs Pratyusha Beniwal, only watched her husband's behavior in silence. She knew that if she made a sound she would irritate him even more, even if it was just a word to calm him down."Where is she? Why doesn't she answer my calls? I'm sure she must be with that young man, that's why she didn't answer my phone!""No answer, or can't be contacted?" finally Mrs Pratyusha couldn't help but ask."She oould not be contacted!" replied Narendra curtly. "Looks like she deliberately turned off her phone!""Don't be suspicious! Who knows, her phone is down, so she can't calls. It's better if you send her a message. When she reads it, she'll definitely call back! Trust me!" said Mrs. Pratyusha again."I can't believe it! She must have deliberately turned off he
"Why are you here?" asked Praveen surprisingly. He glared at Rajesh and of course he was prepared for the unexpected. The other day he committed the persecution, perhaps now he will do it again. Praveen didn't want it to happen again."Where's Zoya?" Rajesh even asked. His gaze drifted inward as if Zoya was in the room."She's not here!""Don't lie! She's in there, right?"Praveen frowned. Then he opened the door widely and said,"Just check inside! See for yourself if you don't believe it!"Without permission, Rajesh immediately entered and checked all corners of the room. He even went to the bathroom. He couldn't find what he was looking for."You saw for yourself, she's not here?"Rajesh Kumar looked suspiciously at Praveen. The hatred was still visible in his eyes."Where did you hide her?""What are you talking about? What for am I hiding her?""Where is she?!" Rajesh started yelling. He seems sure, Praveen had hidden Zoya."Listen! I didn't hide her! I didn't see her all day bef
Without saying much more, Praveen just left. He was disappointed with Mrs. Fateema's attitude. How easy she accused people. He even more disappointed because he didn't get any info about Ashita.He walked hastily away from Doorna. At the side of the main road he stopped. He was confused about where to look for the girl. He'd looked at her rented house yesterday, and now at Doorna. No clue at all. All he knew were the two places where Ashita was while in Dharavi.Although not sure Praveen tried to call her again. A few seconds later it still didn't connect.He tried again and again. The result was still the same.He took a deep breath and then exhaled sharply. He suddenly felt empty. He felt lonely without Ashita in Dharavi.Where was she? Why hadn't she been contacted since yesterday? Her parents in Juhu also lost contact with her?Something must had happened to that girl! There's no way she'd just disappear. But what? Was she kidnapped or...If that's true, it's bound to be big news.
"What? Ashita is Miss Zoya Bipasha? Do not mess with me Anil!" Mrs. Fateema snapped."Why do I mess with you? If you don't believe me, see for yourself! Why do you think Mr. Rajesh is looking for her? Ashita has done good to you, even bought this building for Doorna! But what did you do to her? You fired her, even accused her has embezzled the donation. What you are accusing is outrageous. You have hurt her!"The principal was immediately stunned. Her mouth dropped open, as if she had been hit by a high-voltage electric shock.Is it true that Ashita is Miss Zoya?No! Don't lie to me, Anil! There's no way Ashita is Miss Zoya! Ashita is a fraud! The woman tried to dodge. But her face clearly showed fear.How come! If that's true, it could mess things up. What a big and unforgivable mistake she had made.But how was it possible for the daughter of the richest man in Mumbai to disguise herself as a commoner in Dharavi? What's the purpose of disguising everything? After all, if she wanted
Zoya was banging on the door of the room where she was locked up. She had been here all day without doing anything. She was bored and wanted out. But the man who had kidnapped her did not open the door for her."Open the door! I want to get out just a moment!" she shouted from inside. Even though she couldn't hear a sound, she was sure the man was outside. There was no way he could leave her alone in this secluded place. Besides Zoya didn't hear the sound of a car leaving the house."Come on, open the door! I want to get out! Just for a moment! I want to get some fresh air. I promise I won't run!" Zoya said sounding pleading.No matter how hard she tried to bang on the door and begging the man who had kidnapped her, she still didn't get a response."You're outside right? Come on, open the door!" said Zoya again and again.Still no response. It's like talking to the wind. Zoya was getting annoyed. Where's that guy? Why no response from him?Because she had tried many times but got no r
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
