Aditi sat watching the policemen idly chatting about trivial matters.

Frustrated, she stood up and exclaimed, "Sir, my mother is missing. Please, you must do something!" The policemen glanced at her with indifference and replied, "Listen, girl, we can only take action once the rain ceases. What can we possibly do in such a downpour?"

Aditi clenched her fists and yelled, "What do you think your duty is? To sit and gossip like idle folks? My mother is missing, and despite my five reminders, you've done nothing!"

The policeman stood up angrily, about to speak, when a loud voice interrupted him. "What is going on?" At this, all the policemen in the station stood up and saluted. He appeared quite young compared to them, yet he exuded smartness and confidence.

Aditi approached him and said, "Sir, I have been trying to convince these officers. My mother has been missing for three hours now. Please help."

The man stood still, listening to her attentively. He observed her bleeding head and drenched clothes.

Realizing she was in deep trouble, he reprimanded his policemen for their negligence.

He gathered all the information and ordered the tracking of her mother's number. An officer revealed he was IAS officer Arjun Rathore, and it was unusual for him to visit the police station at such an odd hour.

Aditi was fortunate that he arrived and took charge of the situation. Within half an hour, he had located her mother.

His car sped in that direction and eventually halted at a completely abandoned factory. The darkness of the night rendered the place even more eerie.

Arjun raised his torch and motioned for Aditi to follow. As Aditi entered, the sound of gunfire startled her. In a panic, she dashed further inside, leaving Arjun behind.

Arjun's flashlight flickered out, and he lost his way. Feeling along the walls, he cautiously proceeded forward.

Simultaneously, Aditi froze in place, statue-like. Yug confronted her, brandishing a gun at her severely wounded mother. She was bound to a chair, which had toppled over, indicating the extent of her torture. Puddles of blood encircled her.

"MAAAA!!!!!!" Aditi screamed, dashing towards her. She knelt down swiftly and began untying her mother's bonds.

Tears streamed down her face as she beheld her mother's frail form. "Maa, please open your eyes... Look, I'm here, and I won't let anything happen to you," she pleaded.

Yug's father approached from behind and declared, "I am proud of you, my son. At last, our family saga concludes. You have always chosen your family. Henceforth, you are the president of our empire, the Pratap empire. Ensure this area is secured. This woman shall draw her final breath in this very factory."

Yug stood motionless, his gaze fixed on Aditi and Siya. The gun in his hand dropped with a thud to the ground. Aditi was completely entwined in the predicament, her mind ceasing to function.

She rose and seized Yug's collar, hurling him to the ground. Clutching his collar, she leaned over him. "How dare you, Yug Pratap Singh? Why the fuck did you do all this? Just to become the president of your empire. If you had just told me that you valued your position more than our relationship, I would have walked away. So why, WHY DID YOU HARM MY MOTHER?"

Suddenly, Arjun barged into the factory, his gaze quickly shifting from Aditi and Yug to Yug's father, causing him to recoil in shock. His eyes then landed on the lifeless body sprawled on the floor, encircled by blood.

Arjun took out his gun and pointed towards Yug's father. "Leave them right now. Or else I won't hesitate to kill you this time." 

How does arjun know Yug's dad? Will Aditi and arjun save Siya ?
