Illegal Temptation

Chapter 35

Ruhi was out for a walk after having dinner. Her kaki wanted to accompany her but her legs were aching. Her kaka had gone to purchase medicines for her. So she was walking alone. Few people's were still there talking a walk after dinner. She greeted them. 

Busy in her own thoughts she didn't realise when she went a little far. As soon she realised she started walking back gazing at the stars..the environment was so peaceful but there was uneasiness in her heart. She don't know why. She was feeling restless today. 

Unaware of the danger lurking towards her. She continued to walk. The bushes near her rambled as she walked a little. Her eyebrows furrowed. Thinking at must be an animal she tried to walk faster with her pregnant belly. 

The man smirked "got you" he whispered as he picked her up in his arms and started walking towards the car. 

Veer and his men arrived the location as told by Dr. Divya. They knocked the door in anticipation of finding her. But an old lady opened it. 

"Yes how can I help you?" She asked. 

"We are searching--" veer cut off his men. 

"Actually we were doing a survey about how many people live here. The government had handed over the construction contract to us. So we thought it would be good if we get to know about the number of people and their needs" Veer explained professionally. 

"Oh please come inside" she invited them in. His eyes roamed in the house in search of his wife. She asked them to sit. Veer sat there impatiently. 

"How many family members you are?" Veer asked. 

"We are three. Me, my husband and my son. But he lives away from us. We had a daughter but she is no more" she told him. Veer's heart skipped it's beat as he thought of rooh as her daughter. 

"She was 18 when she left us" the lady told him sadly. Veer sighed in relief. 

"You and your husband lives alone in such a big house" he asked casually. 

"Oh no. Ruhi lives here in rent. She is just like my daughter." The lady told him fondly. 

"Where is she" he asked impatiently. 

"She went out for a walk. She must be coming back it's late" she replied. 

After 10 minutes Veer's patience was running thin. 

"Where is she? Why is she not back yet" he asked getting angry. The lady was in verge of crying. 

"It's all my fault I shouldn't have let her go alone" she cried. Veer sighed in annoyance. Hamid understood the clue and assured her that they will find their daughter back. 

Veer immediately walked out of the house as his men followed. 

"Search each and every corner of the village. Alert all the men on the road if they see a vehicle ask them to stop it" he ordered his men. 

"Please be safe rooh" he whispered inwardly
