I'll Be There For You (Abhira fic)

Chapter - 4

"Abhi?" said Akshara confusingly. He should be on a flight right now on his way to Delhi. She looked at the phone screen and saw Harsh's number. What is happening here? But before she could ask him anything, their car stopped with a jerk. 

Akshara almost fell from the seat. But Manjari saved her in the nick of time. Akshara screamed. She instantly put her hands on the belly, protecting her kids. The phone fell from her hand on the seat.

Before they could scold the driver for his carelessness, a stone came from the front breaking the glass. Shyam got hit with the stone. He instantly lost his consciousness. Akshara and Manjari shouted loudly. Someone started throwing stones at them. Both of them duck down to protect themselves from this attack. Akshu's hand is not leaving her belly. Tears were flowing from their eyes. They were scared as hell. Scared for their lives, scared for the lives of her unborn kids.

"Maa", whispered Akshara. Manjari just held her arm, didn't know what to say or do. Suddenly, a stone came from the back breaking the glass of the car. If Akshara and Manjari had not ducked down it would have surely hit one of them. They shouted. The phone fell down and got broken. The call got cut.

Some people with masks on their faces yanked the door open. "Bahar aao", a loud voice came behind the mask.

Akshu is shivering with fear. She didn't know what to do. They didn't react to the voice.

"Maine kha bahar aao. Jaldi aao warna yhi khatam kr doonga tum dono ko", said the mask man. He put the gun on Manjari's head. The women shout.

"Chillao mat, warna yhi sab khatam kr doonga", said the man. He held Manjari's arm and yanked her out of the car. Another guy opened the side door and pulled Akshara out of the car. 

"Akshu", shouted Manjari. "Maa", said Akshara. She tried to remove her arm from the hold of the guy but it was no use.

"Dekhiye, aap logo kaun hai aur kya chahte hai humse", asked Manjari. 

Meanwhile, Abhi calls Shyam again and again but every time he gets the same response. "This call is not reachable right now".

"Abhi, call lga kya", asked Harsh worriedly. Abhi shook his head.

"Abhi humari sab gadiyon mai tracker lga hua hai. Check kr jaldi se Shyam ke pass jo gadi hai woh is time pr kha hai", said Harsh.

Abhi nodded and instantly opened the GPS to track the car. He found that the car had been standing at the same place for the past 10 minutes. It cemented his belief that something is wrong, very wrong with her mother and wife. 

He showed the location to his father. "Shit, yeh kya kr rha hai. Iss area mai kitne gundey hote hai", said Harsh angrily. 

"Yeh log yha kya kr rhe hai itni der se", mumbled Abhi. He is scared as hell.

"Abhi, jaldi chal hume wha chalna chahiye. Ho sakta unki gaadi kharab ho gyi ho", said Harsh. He also had a feeling that something was terribly wrong but he didn't want to scare Abhi. The boy is already looking so pale like he has seen a ghost.

Abhi nodded his head and both of them ran to Harsh's car. Abhi took the keys from his father and started driving at a really fast speed.

Akshara and Manjari were held hostage by the masked men. 

"Jaldi se apne sare gehne uttaro", said the masked man and held Manjari's hair tightly.

"Ahhhh!" exclaimed Manjari.

"Maa", shouted Akshu. "Apko jo chahiye aap woh le lejiye. Bas hume jane dijiye", pleaded Akshara. 

"Toh time kyu khoti kr rhi hai, jaldi nikal sab kuch" said the man, holding Akshara's arm tightly. Both Manjari and Akshara started removing their pieces of jewellery. They aren't wearing many, but still, they are giving them whatever they have. Akshara removed her ring and tears silently flowed from her eyes. She remembered the day of their engagement when Abhi gave her the ring.
