Anika along with rudy moved to bustop straight opposite to ice-cream parlour. Rudy messaged shivaay about the place they were waiting, anika sat on waiting chair with leg over leg scrolling through her Instagram.

"do you want a jacket di" , Rudy noticed her rubbing hands occasionally on her exposed arms, she nodded no lightly assured "I am fine rudy"

"not anymore" a Base voice caught their attention, rudy alerted when the man advanced to anika "excuse me!"

"you excuse me man, I need to settle scores with this lady" the unknown man much to rudy annoyance pointed his finger at anika. Rudy instantly stood between them, "who the hell are you man?"

He choosed to not answer instead held anika hand impressing hand marks, "ouch" he stammered back as his cheekbone got a wound with harsh punch of rudy. "stay away" rudy warned in dangerous voice soothing the pain in nuckles  massaging it with other hand.

"you stay away, she is mine tonight"

"How dare you" anika tried hard to hold a fuming rudy. "rudy chodo"

"nhi , didn't you listen what he said. I will kill him" rudy came out of anika hold punched the man till he took few steps back with broken jaw, "Is he your second man?"

"you know him?" rudy turned to anika listening to the question of that bastard. "he tried to misbehave with me in pub" that's it, the man face was followed by few good punches. He tried to defend himself but seems like rudy had a good boxing practice.

At a second the man succeeded in pushing rudy few steps backward, "get ready to face consequences" the man shouted a hey, being empty road the gang on other side few meters could listen to the shout. They reached near them in few seconds. Anika gripped rudy hand, "rudy ---" "ssh... Di you will be fine" he assured her when himself had a fear engulfing heart looking at the gang before with professional rowdy vibes.

A tall man among them with a cut eyebrow held anika hand, rudy tried his best to face them. A car zoomed in pushing a half relief to rudy, om was aghasted at the scene before him. Next second he found himself, hitting the gang blue and black.

"rudy.. Where is anika? " Rudy turned around was shocked to see anika nowhere. For once he forgot how to breathe. "she--was--She was here only om . I don't know where she went" his voice broke fear gripping heart.

Getting down car shivaay saw omru standing on road. Both were sweating, few boys were on road with injuries. He ran towards them asking whether they were hurt by the condition he could say they had fight.

Om Assured they are fine, "where is -- where is anika?" shivaay knitted eyebrows, without answering om ran through road

Bad thoughts started clouding his mind, "where is anika rudy?" shivaay roared, rudy was weeping. This is getting on his nerves.

"rudy this is not time for crying-- You are scaring me. Where is anika?" he asked controlling  anger. Rudy managed to explain what happened with occasional sobs. "rudy don't worry. She will be fine. Get to other direction" shivaay and rudy ran in opposite the directions screaming her name.

Shivaay noticed two men moving into park nearby, his anika sensometer hit hard indicating her presence. He shouted om name as soon as om turned back he signalled park.

Shivaay moved to the other side of park which was isolated,heard someone whipping behind me the tree. His hands turned into fist as his lens captured the scene projected before him. A man in medium height was trying to kiss anika while she tired to get rid of his hold. He held her from back tightly she is finding difficult to self defence. "I will make you mine. I swear you can't walk for week. I will f..."
