It's Just You And Me

Chapter 74

Sidharth was on his way when he received a call from Vidur who informed him about Shehnaaz being at some hospital. "Vo hospital kyu gai hai!?" he almost yelled out of shock.

"Acha make sure she is safe mai bhi wahi aata hu..... Please just make sure she is safe" he said and ended the call.

On his way he was wondering that why she would every need to go to the hospital and that too without letting him know.

"Sana ko ghar ja kar dekhta hu.... yeh ladki bhi na, bilkul dhyan ny hai khud ka and why the hell she needed to go to the hospital? She looked all fine.... just a bit tired I noticed.....kuch hua hai toh mujhe batana chahiye tha na usko...... urgh!!" he groaned inwardly getting impatient to see her safe with his own eyes.

Half way through his distination somewhere at some unfrequented spot his car came to an abrupt halt jerking him out of his thoughts.

He saw a Black Creta blocking his way and before he could even realise what was happening, two sturdy guys got out of the car and rushed towards them. One guy broke the windshield with the base of the gun and shot the driver to death instantly while the other guy  stood to Sidharth's side pointing a gun at him.

............

"Oh my God Shehnaaz!! Mujhe abhi bhi believe ny ho raha ki you guys are going to be parents.... like for real" Zoe squeaked in happiness while driving.

Gaurav had left hurriedly from the hospital when he had received an important call from someone. Zoya and Shehnaaz were now heading home and Zoe couldn't stop but gush over this wonderful news and how happy everyone else would be to hear this.

Sana was sitting beside her quietly, feeling this moment and internally getting excited to break the news to her dear husband. She was imagining the different possible reactions she might get from Sidharth.

"Abhi kisi ko yeh baat mat batana sabse pehle Sid ko batana ok? aur mai bhi chup rahu ge I promise..... yaar but mujhe na excitement ho rahi hai tu please usko jaldi batana phir baki sabko batana taki mai sabke reactions dekh saku" Zoe's non-stop talk when all the way until they reached back home. She left due to her work.

Sana entered her house to witness both the ladies worriedly sitting on the couch in the living room.

"Maa kya hua?" Shehnaaz asked. She felt the vibes and utterly hated this feeling she was getting inside of her right now.

"Beta dekh na Sidharth zid karke kahi bahar chala gaya hai..... uska pair bhi abhi recover ny hua ache se phir bhi humare mana karne par bhi vo chala gaya..... humare call bhi ny utha raha vo" she scoffed.

"Shehnaaz mai bata rahi hu tera pati jab wapes  aaye ga na toh uske dono pair aur hath mai todne wali hu" Neetu spoke from behind.

"Areee ny please aisa mat karna mai abhi usko call karti hu shayad mera utha le" she said and dialled his number. With the increasing number of rings her heart had also started racing. He wasn't lifting up his calls, what the hell is worng with him? She thought.

"Mai..... mai vo Vidur ko call karti hu" she got nervous by now. Vidur lifted up the call in the second ring.

"Hello? Vidur? Sidharth kidhar hai?" she asked rushing with her words, worried about him.

"where are you? Sir ne mujhe apka dhyan rakhne ko bola tha and after you left the  hospital I couldn't find you at all"

"Mai ghar par aa gai but Sidharth kaha hai?" her question alerted Vidur right away. Sidharth had absolutely no one to guard him since all of them were busy assuring Shehnaaz's safety.

"Ma'am please don't panic, let me figure out" She guessed the tension in his voice and her heart dropped thinking about anything bad happening to her husband.  Without realising she had started crying now.

Maa and Neetu saw her reaction and understood right away that things were not good. But both decided to be her strength and encourage her to stay strong. By the time maa was consoling her, Neetu made a few calls. Two of which was to Yuvi and Madhav.

..............

Sidharth tried to open his eyes properly to look around at his surroundings. With great pain and difficulty he opened his left one as the right one seemed unresponsive. It seemed like a dusty old Wearhouse stacked with walls of wooden boxs. For a better vision he tried opening his both the eyes properly but instead every features of his face ached. He could even taste something irony which soon he realised was his own blood.

He remembered being beaten up by six men a few hours ago. His athletic and well built body could have handled those shit heads but he had failed due to his sprained ankle.

He tried moving his body a bit when another realisation hit him. He was tied up with the chair he was sitting on. He applied his force groaning in pain until it was unbearable and he gave up.

He started shouting, calling out for help, his throat had dried up instantly after he opened his mouth. His clothes were wet drenched in his blood and sweat as it was extremely hot in there. He had understood this one thing for sure, his is abductor whoever it might be, was not fool enough to keep in the middle of the civilization. He was probably far away somewhere aloof in a remote area.

His head started to hurt with constantly thought of who it could be behind all this.

After a few minutes of hurting his lungs a little more by shouting he understood there was no one around and gave up. Willing to wait and see who it is, not soon enough he again passed out due to pain and exhaustion.

...........

"Shehnaaz?" Gaurav entered worriedly looking for her friend. He knew she must be bawling her eyes out, he had left the hospital worriedly because he had already got the news about Sidharth missing and his driver who was shot dead.

There entered Madhav Yuvi and Vidur. In no time they had attacked on Gaurav, they had already landed 2 punchs each on him by the time Neetu stopped them.

"Are you guys mad or what?" she bellowed. Everyone were stunned looking at her except Shehnaaz, wondering why she was defending him.

"He's a freakin Cop helping us to find Sidharth and also to find the one who is behind this mess" she revealed.

Seeing the confused faces of all who also had a lot in their mind to ask, she told them everything. Even Neetu had no idea until yesterday when Gaurav told her that he was actually been called by Shehnaaz to find the person causing trouble in their life.

The time when they were on their vacation in Dubai, though Sidharth tried his best but couldn't hide the tension he had, she had seen it in his eyes how disturbed he was. She finally decided to ring up her friend Gaurav and ask him to secretly investigate on the matter.

"Ooohh! toh yeh scene tha...... we are so sorry yaar!" Madhav apologized on behalf of the boys.

"it's alright!"

Gaurav adjusted his clothes and went towards the pensive seated Shehnaaz.

"Sana try to guess aisa kon kar sakta hai?"

she tried but couldn't get anything inside her head, her mind and heart was all stuck at Sidharth and his safety.

"Sana ab please thoda soch and yaad kar aisa kuch bhi incident jisse koi trigger ho kar Sidharth ke sath ya tum dono ke sath aisa kare ya phir koi aisa insaan who has a certain dislike towards you both?"

This time when he mentioned about the incident that's when it clicked her.

"Yes!! I know yeh kon ho sakta hai!" she spoke suddenly where everyone was looking at her with their curious eyes.

...........

Sidharth didn't had to wait longer. After what felt like an hour or two, he heard the heavy door of warehouse lift up. The faint sound of footsteps were getting closer as the people whoever they were approached him. All his senses were alerted, he avidly wanted to see who it was. Opening his one eye with sheer difficulty and pain he saw familiar faces smiling viciously at him. He was staring back at the shocking vision in front of him, he was 10 times more mad after seeing who it was. It wasn't any business rival or mafia, his kidnapper was non other than Abhay Ahuja. And the other one which was quite unexpected was Sana's dear cousin Mayera.
