Chapter-112

Shiva's POV

By the time our jet took off, I figured out what could possibly be waiting for me in the forests of Salyava.

As strange as it seemed I think Manvi is the one who sent that text.

Aryan is still in a dilemma. I would have been the same or worse. We thought she was dead. We buried a body and now after three long years, a text appears.

What's concerning me is the number to which she texted.

It is Parul's.

Manvi and Parul never met before. Or that's what I know, at least. So, how did she get Parul's number?

And that makes me think that Parul is the one who gave her number. If Manvi wanted to send a message, she could have texted me or Aryan. She has called Aryan before but the call hasn't connected. He was losing his shit after seeing the message.

That raises another question, how did they meet? And then the trail of questions follows. Aryan said that Parul hadn't seen Manvi's pictures when she came to his home. So, how did she identify her?

And what was Manvi doing all these years?

Why didn't she contact us earlier?

Why now? The same time when my wife is missing?

It could be a trap. It sounds like a well-knitted plan but my gut feeling is that I'll find my happiness there.

I would be happy if I saw Manvi there. But then what about my Paaru? I hope—pray that I find both the girls there.

Somehow the stars linked them together and they figured out they were related. It sounds impossible but that's the only plausible explanation for the situation that we are in right now.

Vikram looked into the number and the SIM card belonged to the man called Achyuta Vedha. He is looking into this man.

It takes another ten minutes for the jet to land on Mitija, the village that leads us to the Salyava forests.

So from what I've learnt, Salyava is a tribal village and the tribals are called Salyavas.

The forest extends to Harbour which is a neighbouring state and it is possible to think that, Paaru might have slipped and put herself in this place.

It might be possible.

Aryan is in silent mode. He is gritting his teeth and tapping his feet. He seems nervous. I haven't seen him this nervous in a decade.

It seems tough. I don't know. May some miracle happen and let us find Manvi and Parul.

I hope that's what is waiting for us. For me.

I had no time to change so I hopped into the jet with the Dhotis. I hope the white remains white. There won't be any blood bath. I just hope.

But if I see a scratch on Parul or Manvi, then I will gladly be drenched in the blood.

Whoever is threatening or trying to harm my girls must pray to all the dear gods for their safety. Because Ratha is coming for their blood. One should know better than to touch Shiva's woman.

He would never live another day after hurting my Paaru. Never.

I'm pretty much sure that's what Aryan would do although he has promised Manvi that he would never use his fists again!

Author's POV

" Boss, he is an Ayurvedic doctor. He lives in the tribal village and he also owns several acres of orchids. It seems like he has a good reputation over there" Vikram narrated as they made their way to the black XUV.
