The atmosphere was thick with fear and tension, but also with a steely determination to end the revenge saga once and for all. As the family gathered in the palace, Ruhanika spoke, her voice steady despite the gravity of the situation.
"Amit has given me instructions to meet him at the family park at 2 a.m. I need to go alone, but I need all of you to be ready for anything."
Abhinav stepped forward, his face pale but resolute. "Ruhi, we can't let you go alone. It's too dangerous."
"I know, Abhinav," Ruhanika replied, locking eyes with him. "But we have no choice. If too many people are involved, Shristi's life could be at risk. We need a plan."
Abhishek, who had been silent until now, spoke up with authority. "We will follow you at a distance. We can't let you face this alone. We'll be there, watching and ready to step in if needed."
Ruhanika nodded, feeling a swell of gratitude for her family's support. "Thank you, bhai. I need all of you to stay strong. We will get through this together."
The family huddled together, sharing words of comfort and support. Ruhanika felt a renewed sense of purpose. "Now, follow me. The elders will stay at home. Bade Papa, be ready with your team; we'll need your support. Abhinav, Ruhi, Sanyu, Vinay, you're with me. Abhimaan, call Kumar and inform him of the situation. Tell him to get his team ready. Vivaan and Abhinandan, you stay here and try to locate Shristi using the GPS tracker in her bracelet. Also, check the security footage and hack her mobile phone to find out who lured her out of the house."
Abhishek assigned tasks with precision, and the group moved toward a hidden basement in the palace, known only to a select few. "Ruhi, Sanyu, I know you both are determined to help, but promise me you won't take unnecessary risks," Abhinav urged, his eyes pleading.
They nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. "Okay, now grab whatever you need. Wear the bulletproof vests. I don't want anyone getting hurt," Abhishek instructed.
Vinay handed Ruhi and Sanyukta small daggers for emergencies. They discreetly hid the daggers in their boots. Ruhanika took a deep breath, knowing she had to face Amit alone initially. "Bhaiya, you all stay back until I give you a signal. This is about Shristi. We can't afford to make any mistakes. If there's trouble, I'll signal you, but until then, stay back."
"Fine, but Ruhi, please be safe. I'm already worried about Shristi; I can't lose you too," Abhinav whispered, cupping her face.
Sanyukta added, "Ruhi, we'll be waiting nearby. Come back soon."
