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
Praveen was choked. The liquid that just came out of his mouth, almost entered again."You…you!" Praveen still couldn't believe his eyes. Something wrong with his eyes? Or was he hallucinating?He remembered the last time he was conscious. He was thrown into the river and struggled to free himself in the water, and then all was dark.But then why was he by the river and found his enemy again? Rajesh Kumar?Lord! Why were trials so insistent upon me? Why didn't I just die right away? Praveen was almost hysterical when he discovered the reality.Meeting Rajesh Kumar was like repeating all the torture from the beginning. No! No!He tried to fight again. But there was absolutely no power."Thank goodness! You're still alive!" said Rajesh Kumar. The man's clothes and hair were also soaked. There was water dripping from his hair."Why don't you just kill me? Aren't you satisfied with ordering people to torture me?" Praveen said."What are you talking about! I just saved your life!""Save me
After cleaning up, Rajesh treated Praveen's injuries. It looked like his nose was swollen, but there was no more blood dripping."Why are you doing this to me?" asked Praveen."Doing what?""You saved me!""I told you, I'm now by your side! What I did, just consider it as a form of apology from me!""Why Narendra fired you?"Rajesh Kumar removed the cotton in his hands."I was considered incompetent that caused his daughter to be kidnapped!""But earlier you accused me of hiding Zoya!""Yes at first! But not anymore!""So the men who tried to kill me earlier weren't your men?""I don't know them! But I suspect they are errands too!""Whose order?""That's what I'm going to investigate!"Praveen took a deep breath."How did you get there to save me?""I've been watching you since Narendra fired me a few days ago.""Watching me?""You just didn't know! I knew you were at the hotel doing fashion show. I was among the guests. When you came home I followed you all the way to Juhu. When y
"I don't have a suspicion on that direction!""Why?""You know who Sunil is, don't you? He's a police officer. His father is also the number one rank in city! It seems impossible for him to be behind this kidnapping!" said Rajesh Kumar."Nothing is impossible! He has resources. He has money, he has power, and he loves Ashita, uhm, I mean Zoya!""What made you think that way?""The people who kidnapped me look like trained people. Not like your men the other day. They are all well-built like police officers!"Rajesh seemed to be thinking about something. If Sunil was the mastermind, of course it would be even more exciting later if it was revealed. Did he sacrifice his own and his father's reputation for a girl named Zoya Bipasha Vijayalashmi?But what Praveen said makes sense too. Nothing was impossible. Someone when it comes to matters of romance then he could be reckless without thinking about common sense again.Wasn't Praveen the same way? For the love of Zoya, he dared to take r
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
