"Chodo mujhe.. Tina kaha hai?" Anika was shouting in the van. Her hands were tied with rope. The goons covered their face with black mask.

"Tina hogi apne ghar me" they laughed

"Kaun ho tumlog? Maine kya bigara hai? Kisiko bhi nahi chodungi" Anika screamed.

"Iske muh me patti dal, bohut chilla rahi hai" one of them uttered.

On the other hand, Shivaay had not seen Anika since morning but asking OmRu will only lead to their teasing. Finally, he thought that Dadi might know because Anika never goes anywhere without informing anyone.

"Dadi, aapne Anika ko dekha?" Shivaay asked

"Nahi puttar. Mujhe bhi usse kaam tha" dadi answered. This made him worried for her even more. He called Rudra to know about her whereabouts.

"Rudy, Anika kaha gayi hai?" Shivaay asked.

"Mujhe nahi pata Bhaiya. Maine subah se nahi dekha" Rudy replied.

All the members gathered in the hall, "Kya koi janta hai Anika kaha hai?" Shivaay questioned.

Nobody had the answer. This was eating Shivaay from inside. What might have happened with her?

"Chinta mat karo Shivaay, wo shayad kisi kaam se gayi hai. Aa jayegi" Jhanvi said

"Haan Shivaay, no worries. Use kuch kaam ho sakta hai" Pinky added.

"Bhaiya.. Anika didi ke room se ye letter mila hai" Soumya gave it to him.

Subah mere friend ka call aaya ki use kuch problem huyi hai. Maine kisiko nahi jagaya. Aap log chinta mat kijiye, mai theek hun apne friend ke ghar. Shayad kuch din rahungi yaha

Anika

Everyone got satisfied with the letter except for Shivaay. He felt that something was fishy. She has only one special friend, that is Tina. He should go to her house and confirm.

"Maine kaha tha na, ab tu kaam pe jaa Shivaay." Pinky said. Shivaay drove his car to Tina's house with full speed.

Knock knock....

"Tina, kya Anika yaha aayi hai?" Shivaay asked.

"Dekho mujhe Anika ne sab bata diya hai ki tum kaun ho.. etc etc.. Apna natak band karo. Anika to tumhare ghar me hi rehti hai na, Oberoi Mansion" she said.

"I am serious Tina. Kya Anika yaha aayi hai?" Shivaay said

"Nahi, yaha kyun aayegi?" Tina said.

"Wo subah se ghar me nahi hai, aur phir uska ek letter mila jisme usne kaha ki wo kisi friend ke ghar gayi hai. Kya koi aur friend hai?" Shivaay asked

"Not exactly. Kahi phir se tumne to kuch nahi kia?" she enquired

"No Tina. Mai aisa kyun karunga. I lo.... Matlab she is my employee" he said. He was so tensed that he didn't realize what he was going to say.

"Uske bare me kuch bhi pata chale to batana" Tina said. He left her house with anger. Where she might be? Different situations flashed in his mind.

"Kaha ho Anika?" he roared.

Dialing Khanna's no, he ordered "Khanna, Anika ka no. trace karo. I need her location urgently"

Hearing Shivaay's rage in phone, he got busy in his works.

In the meantime, Shivaay searched in every possible place where she could be but there was no trace of her. Unknowingly, his eyes welcomed fresh tears.

He was driving aimlessly but then Khanna's msg beeped in his phone. He checked it and Anika's location has been tracked.

"Anika, outskirts me kya kar rahi hai?" Shivaay thought after making an idea of her location. It was an old clubhouse in the outskirts of the city. He drove his car to the place.

"Mai tumhe kuch nahi hone dunga Anika.." he promised to himself

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Tum logo ne kyu pakra hai mujhe? Ho kaun?" Anika was shouting her lungs out but the goons were least interested.

"Iske muh se patti kisne nikali?" On of them asked inserting a handkerchief in her mouth.

"Dekh, jyada bak bak mat kar, subah se kuch khaya nahi hai, khane de na.." he told her.

"mmmm...mmm" she could not speak and tears drop started forming in her eyes

'Shivaay, aap kaha hai? Mujhe pata hai ki aap zarur bachayenge mujhe. Ek baar agar mere haath khul jaate to mujhe kisiki bhi zarurat nahi hai.. Akele hi sabka kachumbar bana deti mai' she thought.
