Amukta closed her eyes and prayed to god . She asked for strength and courage . Jara ordered his men to lock her up in a bunker like thing which is very small. It could barely fit two people. Her surroundings are stinky. She remembered how her house used to be. She recalled how dev used to clean the house multiple times when she was pregnant and recently when she was injured. She saw insects that are crawling around her. It kind of grosses her. Her neck pain is making it worst. Jara made a cut on her injured nape with a pocket knife. It wasn't deep but hurtful enough to make her cry on the top of her lungs. She felt death would be easier than this. She recalled how they kidnapped her.

After taking rest for 1 month amukta started working. She loved her working experience in that hospital. Her co-doctors are very friendly and her juniors are extremely supportive and knowledge seeking. That was a new experience to her because there are some people who are learning something from her. She loved that feeling. As usual she got ready for going to hospital and waited for dev to come back home. She heard a knock on the door and thought that it was dev. She opened the door eagerly and to her surprise she saw no one outside. 

Suddenly a person with mask covering his face came forward and closed her mouth and nose with a kerchief. She very well know that a sedative is sprayed on it. She tried to protest but he gripped her tightly. She felt like jumping into a pool of acid because a stranger is holding her tightly . When she opened her eyes she was unable to see anything. Her eyes are covered. She felt a cloth being stuffed inti her mouth . Her hands and legs are tied up. She tried to scream but her screams are muffled by that cloth. She tried to move but it only caused pain to her. 

She heard someone's footsteps . She turned her towards that direction and the sound of footsteps increased indicating that the person is getting closer to her. He removed the rope tied to her legs roughly. He gripped her by hair and pulled her up. He pulled the cloth out from her mouth.

Amukta : who the hell are you ? Why did you kidnap me ?

Jara : huh ? Ravanasura

He whispered in her ear. 

Amukta : jara ? 

Jara : smart ! Where is your Sri Rama ? Is he busy with shopping ? 

Amukta didn't say anything.

Jara : you know something ? I love your husband more than you love him. I am missing him badly. I'll send a video to him.

Jara started recording a video and told his henchman to send it to dev . He sent it to dev and destroyed the phone .

..........

Jara : did he release the trucks ? 

Henchman 1 : yes sir ! 

Jara : ok ! Ask him to clear all the cases booked on me saying that i was innocent and it was a misunderstanding. Tell him that he can search for her if he wants. Because he can never reach this place. Also tell him that we will send his wife or her dead body back after 1 week based on his decisions on our demands.

Henchman 2 : ok sir ! 

He sent the email to dev and showed it to jara. He nodded. Jara walked towards the dungeon in which he imprisoned amukta. 

Jara : namasthey madam ! I hope you are loving the accommodation provided by us. 

Amukta scoffed by listening to his words. He bent a little and looked at her face. He found her extremely beautiful. Her perfect face with big doe eyes. Perfect nose and chubby face. But he is not someone who would touch a woman with without her permission. He would never think about a married woman. He went away without saying anything more. 

..........

Dev went into the forest along with his battalion. He divided them into groups and assigned  various places to them. He very well know that this is not going to work. He decided to make jara taste his own medicine. He ordered few lady constables to bring kalavathi. But they returned without her saying that she wasn't there in the village and she went to her friend's wedding. He groaned with frustration and decided to close all cases booked on jara. He kept on searching for her but he didn't find her. He very well know that she is much more smarter than him. He have a strong gut feeling that she will somehow give him a hint. He walked forward in the forest. Suddenly his eyes caught the attention of a tyre prints. So,it means that a vehicle passed by this route. He ran forward only to see muddy road. He informed one of the group about this called them there. They crossed that muddy road and found the tyre marks again. After 1 km they saw 4 different paths with tyre marks . Dev cursed under his breath.

Rajat : sir ! We can't further now. Tigers will roam in this area. Let's get back to the base. We can't even go home. 

Dev : no ! We are not going home at any cost. We are going home only after saving amukta and killing that bastard. Vasudev sir appealed for an on face encounter order. We will definitely get permission. Everyone wants him dead including ramaswamy.

Rajat : ramaswamy ? Why he wants him to be dead ? 

Dev : to get rid of burden. Now his concentration is on politics. He earned enough money by all means of illegal works by using  Jara as his pawn. He is planning for something big which got delayed because of us. After this deal ends he won't step into the forest. By that time he will destroy half of the exotic flora present in it.

Rajat : I have an idea sir ! 

Dev : what's that ? 

Rajat : I grew up in this area. I am familiar with this forest from 30 years. I'll try to find ma'am. I will give a gun to her and ask her to shoot him down.

Dev : I don't think it will work. I can't risk your life.

Rajat : I am promising you that i will return safely. I can climb trees in a swift . Tomorrow morning i will start searching  for her by following every single path. 

Dev nodded and patted his hand. He went into his base and took out his mobile. He smiled by looking at amukta's happy face. She was hugging him and smiling whereas he is kissing her forehead. It was her phone. He unlocked it and opened the gallery. He smiled sadly by looking at her photos.

Dev : I'll get you back ammu. That monster can't do anything. I will show his place to him. People should get scared for even thinking about doing something like him.
