15. Stuck or Moving on?

"Boss, I have checked all the records of airport. There has been no flight boarded by her. All the cash from her bank account has been withdrawn at 7pm that evening. She has most probably destroyed her sim card . The last location of her phone is their orphanage. She is gone with Sejal. The headmaster at the orphanage said that she gave them the keys as she was told that due to a medical emergency, they will arrive late. They also requested to sleep with children. The security cameras in that compartment were switched off at around 7:30 pm. Therefore we have no idea at which time they left. My men are trying to get records of all the trains that left Mumbai since last night upto today morning. "
Aangre gave a long sigh. "And boss Ahana fled. Apparently she sensed her impending death due to her attempt to kill bhabhi. Well, there is not much to worry, Mr. Karan Singh won't let his betrayers go away that easily. " Vansh's face was expressionless. He got up from his chair and faced the door size glass windows overlooking the entire city.

"I want every camera recordings nearby any bus station or railway station be checked . Get your men in action in every Inch of Mumbai. Maybe she is still in Mumbai and is trying to distract our focus so that she can escape later. Keep a track of taxis that have left or will leave Mumbai. I have another thing in my mind, I'm not sure though , I gave her a pendant and ring in Manali with a tracker on. The ring she threw at my face on that day but the pendant, she has not exactly smacked into me, maybe that is still with her, this is the password for my tab , try to find where it is and inform me unless it is in VR mansion." He shoved a chit in Aangre's hand.

"Ok boss." "Aangre , please tell my PA to not let anybody in." They were at VR group of architectures , chief building. Vansh was getting restless inside. His heart ached in pain . He is not being able to bear Riddhima's absence in his life. He thought it was easy when he was overpowered with his rage. He hated and loved her at the same time. It's too late he already had lost himself in her. Without realising, he had let Riddhima into deep depths of his existence. Nothing felt fake. Nothing feels fake. He wants to talk to her urgently. He wants to comfort her at the loss of their baby. His heart has started finding excuses, explanation and reasons for her betrayal. Maybe, she did this because he kind of forced her to marry him. Maybe, because she saw a glimpse of the monster inside him. Maybe, because she was manipulated so badly that she was afraid to back off or he was not enough for her to trust him completely. So what if she helped Kabir in killing Ragini and framed him for murder? He also wanted to kill her when he discovered that she was a greedy, selfish girl getting monetary gains from his mother's murderer. He let it go as she already suffered way too much in her comma of three years. He did things that makes him worthy of jail.
She ultimately regretted her mistakes. He saw that in her eyes , in her every action. That is why she trusted him blindly for the second time ignoring the obvious signs and his aloofness. He learnt in his life that a betrayer should never be forgiven. The moment you do that, you give them a knife to stab you again. But she, she took a bullet for him again , this time completely out of love.

She was like a honeyed confectionery to his empty heart, it acted as a corrosion to his heart that shed his walls down ,melting, mixing and moulding his heart with her texture. Maybe she is dangerous for him. But he can't stop loving her. It is out of control. She has to come back .
He needs her.
He loves her....

Sejal was in a deep slumber. Riddhima took out a thin cotton blanket from her travel bag and covered Sejal with it. She was tired as hell , last night they couldn't get much sleep. But Riddhima didn't feel sleepy. A new sense of relief and calm was overwhelming her nerves. She was beginning to feel free. She got a chance to rebuild herself. Whatever Sejal said was right. She wouldn't fight her past, her feelings. She would embrace them and smile again from her heart.
But the question was , will she be able to feel the joy of love again. For now it feels impossible. After Vansh ridiculously threw her out of his life, insulted her, she still pathetically missed his warm hugs while sleeping, in the deepest pit of her heart. He was mercilessly grilling her on the flames of his hate, jealousy and anger. He crucified her with his demand of killing Kabir. Finally, when she saw the look of pure hatred in his face, she knew they would never be the same again. The damage was done. She was tired of chasing down. Putting in all that she has ever got and in the process , loosing her own self. She braced herself with hope that maybe this is the last price, she has to pay. It felt worthy enough to fight for. The invasion of warmth in her veins, unearthing of the beauty of life as she lost herself in Vansh and the overflowing tranquility that engulfed her soul took her very existence away, it consumed her. She fell apart when her love went away. Her heart will learn from broken hope and empty promises of the past. She will grow out of this.

"Boss, the last location of that pendant was in a market at 9:30pm here in Mumbai. It's location is still there, I think it's tracker has got
disconnected. " " That means if she is out of Mumbai then that is after 9:30pm. What trains were available after that? Surely no buses at that time. Aangre work on that.
