Aditya's P.O.V
"Okay so we can have their location anytime now" Sohail said as he tapped his fingers on the desk.
Yes we're trying to track the number and I don't know how but apparently he's doing something that can get their location right now. He's a great friend.
Right now all I want is naina. See her bunny teeth. I felt so helpless and the very hope that keeps coming and going in me itself felt hopeless. Nothing made sense and anger was everything that I felt.
I found those texts in her phone and a card and a crumpled rose. Somebody was stalking her and she didn't tell me. It hurt me so much. Does she not trust me enough to tell me. Relationships are build on trust and she's not even trusting me enough to tell me her problems. Her safety matters the most. What If something happened to her? I won't be able to take the guilt of not protecting her.
They were sending her creeping messages. The one that got every nerve in my body twitching was the one said about touching naina. I felt like burning the paper and the person who wrote it and then shove it in their mouth for even thinking anything like that. Forget writing.
Anger was not the solution. She had been getting them for a while and now it all made sense her weird behavior, her terrible breakdown that day. It got me crumbling.
I got numerous calls from mom and dad and I didn't pick them. I don't know myself what's going on. I fucking don't know. All I know is that if anything happens to naina I won't be able to forgive myself.
"Got it" he said and my eyes shined once again. This time the hope felt strong and I kept wishing my naina to be strong too. Please baby just hold on I'm coming.
I promise im gonna save you, I'm coming.
"It's a remote isolated place but not far away from here its 30 minutes away, its shows its more of kind a storehouse" he said and noted the address and gave it to me.
I hugged him "thanks man, thanks. It wasn't possible without you" I said hugging him tight.
"Hey its okay no problem anything for my bhabhi" he said and laughed and that got me to laugh too a little. People care about her.
"Now let's go and save and her and kick some bad asses" he said and I nodded.
I'm coming my love, just hold on. A little more.

Naina's P.O.V
"Look who we have here" alisha spoke standing infront of me. She had an evil glint in her eyes.
My own shitty family. I didn't know that they would go to this extent of kidnapping me. Thier hate for me made them do their worse.
"Slut, bitch, whore, tramp, etc etc" she said as she grabbed a long wooden stick.
Everyone was standing there, uncle aunty, samar, alisha.
A scream left my mouth as she hit me hard with stick. My arm stinged.
She bent down and grabbed my face hard
"You have no idea how bad I've waited for this moment" she said slapped me hard. In the process her nails scratched my cheeks which elicited another hiss and scream from me
I never wanted this to happen and I still had hope that it would all end and somehow it felt like forever. Adi where are you!?
She whipped me all red. My screams we unheard and priyansha was dragged out of the room. She hit me again and I fell to the floor. My cries were loosing their power and now I could just weep silently and wait for all this to end.
"Here you go mom she's all yours!" Alisha said throwing the stick away.
"The pain of all those years is finally soothed" my aunt said evilly. What pain!? What past?
"You're just like her" she said making a disgusted face. What is she talking about? "You should've died with her. I don't why your uncle took you in, he should've left you in that car to die" she spat.
Die!? Car?!?
"If it weren't for your uncle, we would've still be living in that hell, but alas your uncle lost his mind too a long time back" she said grabbing my face leaving her finger marks there "way too much brother love" she said shaking her head.
"Savitri got what she deserved and now so will you" she said and let out an evil chuckled. Savitri?!?!?.
She walked back to a box kept in corner and bent over and took out a gun. As if it was a shocker to the entire family, their eyes widen.
"MOM WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!" Alisha yelled.
"POONAM" came uncles powerful voice. "What are doing?! Are you crazy!?" Uncle said stepping forward.
"YES! YES I AM CRAZY!" Aunty yelled, madness reflecting in her eyes. "You made me crazy and she added it even more" she said pointing to uncle and then to alisha.
Alishas eyes widen and her mouth fell open. "M-me!?" She choked out.
"Yes! You. Another problem on my head. As if one wasn't enough. My bitch of a mother in law" she spat disgustingly.
"Don't bring my mother into this!" Uncle yelled.
"Why not? Why not!?" She yelled back. "Wasn't she the reason our problems increased even more?!"
"What problems?! Our daughter was never a problem!" Uncle fought back.
"SHE WAS NEVER OUR DAUGHTER!!!!!" aunty yelled on the top of her voice.
What!!!!!!! Alisha stumbled.
"Mom!" She stuttered. "Don't you mom me" aunty snapped. "You were never ours okay, never. Just a burden" she said cruelly.
She looked down for a minute a took a deep breath in.
"You were her daughter. Not ours. We never had any kids of our own. I always wanted a son and we never got any. And then you were given to us." She said calmly looking down as if the past flooded her.
Who is her?!! Savitri?!. And who is she??!! It was all too much to take in.
"Poonam I can't take any more guilt in than I already have and I cannot commit anymore sins than I already had. That was the biggest sin of my life." Uncle too said calmly.
What is going on?!!
The past flooded them both.
"We would not be here right now if you hadn't committed that sin!" She said evilly.
"But now it's all going to end. Exactly how I want" she said smugly.
My whole body was swollen and aching so bad. The stings drowning in my nerves and heating me up. I felt heavy. She wasn't stopping and the pain numbed me to even scream anymore. Adi. Please
"MOM!" Alisha said and stepped forward.
And the next minute a gunshot was heard!!! Noooo!!!
She shot alisha in the abdomen!!!! And she fell to the floor with a thump.
The Door burst open. "Mam the police are here" my eyes didn't widen and I wasn't shocked. Adi. I kept chanting in my head.
The guard who was with me was there. He's involved. I wailed silently and everything went numb. Numbness became my friend in this time. A coerced one and also a useful one. Numbed what I didn't want to face.
"Ugh you missed again" she said.
My body gave up and I blacked out and the whips and slashes and her evil laughter and their ruthless faces was all I last remembered.
And hoped it to be the last in my life too.

Naina's P.O.V
The beeping is back. But it isn't inside my ear. It's from somewhere else. This time my vision opened and my I regained my senses fast.
My body felt a bit stronger. I had some power in me.
Moving my head from left to right I opened my eyes and my senses helped me recognize the people in the room.
Mom dad and my adi. I moved my hand and then a warm hand grabbed mine. Adi. He's everywhere in me. He's my home and my nerves just came back home. They're telling me that as his warmth began filling me up. My adi. He came. He came. My adi came. They felt alive again.
The murmurs in the room filled me up as the warmth of the people I love came to me and made me alive again. It's shocking how all the pain inflicted by them is now nowhere in my body in front of their love. True love always wins.
"Naina oh baby!" Moms voice boomed and I smiled at her. She kissed my forehead and I smiled closing my eyes.
"You're okay, everything okay now" she said and kept her hand on my hair. Dad came forward and gave me forehead kiss and muttered sweet words to me.
"Beta we are so sorry" mom teary voice made me frown.
I opened my parched mouth "no mom, don't say that you all are the reason I am alive" I said slowly. They are the reason I felt life is not always pain and hatred and sufferings. The balance of love makes life beautiful.
She cried and dad coaxed her. My eyes went to adi whose eyes literally spoke love. I can read them now. They're beautiful. I smiled at him and signalled him to come closer with my hands.
He came forward and I kissed his forehead. He hugged me tight and I did with my partially strong hands.
"I'm sorry my love please forgive me" he said. Why are they apologizing? They shouldn't. No adi.
"Adi no, don't say that you-" he cut me off.
"No I should, it was my responsibility, my duty, to protect you. To keep you safe. But I'm sorry baby I'm sorry" he said and broke down.
Oh adi. You did everything I every asked God for and hoped.
I wiped his tears and made him look at me. The tears were stubborn and they came out anyways.
"No, now you listen to me, I'm sorry, I'm the one who didn't tell you what was going on and that's why all that happened. You didn't know. Don't blame yourself for my mistake adi, it's not fair" I said sternly but my voice broke in the end.
And hello tears!
"Why?" He said crying. No one in the room said anything but their eyes were glossy and mom was still crying.
"I don't know adi, I'm sorry I really am. Will you forgive me?" I aksed and the next minute he smashed his lips on mine. My eyes widen.
Infront of everyone. I heard small gasps. Shit! I bet mom's eyes would have blown out.
He pulled back and smiled at me. Hello?! Is this room not visible to him? My cheeks turned red with each passing minute. Even in serious situations he's shameless.
My eyes went to a red Mark on his cheek!
Who hit him?! My possessive side came out. It's not just the guy who gets possessive when something happens to the girl.
"Adi what's this?" I asked touching the red mark.
He chuckled "your mom's love for you" he said.
I looked over at mom who was sniffling.
"Mom, why did you hit adi?" I aksed her.
"Saas bahu ka serial shuru ho gaya hai" abhi said. Everyone wiped their tears and chuckled.
"To tu is serial mai bin baat ka devar kyun ban rha hai?" A voice came from behind.
Vidhi who was standing there too all this time came to me and hugged me. "Bhabhi we missed you so much " I hugged her back.
Seriously guys I'm okay now! An emotional Indian family. And a newly formed ocean here. Everyone's gonna get dehydrated.
"I was angry at that time and I slapped adi for not keeping you safe" mom said as sorry did reflect in her voice.
She came over to adi and hugged him "Oh my baby I'm sorry." She said and began crying again. Ughh not again.
I looked at dad and he too had tears in their eyes. Oh god. I looked at abhi and he was now walking towards adi and hugged him.
"I'm sorry bhai I didn't mean what I said earlier about you being a shitty husband" he wailed. What the hell is happening!?
"Um guys" I said and they all looked at me and came to me.
"Naina!" They said in unison and hugged me and cried again. I huffed and sat there patiently for their little session to end.
Yeah great I'm drowning! Woo!.
What would happen if someone died. They would literally cry themselves to death then. Yup my family cries a lot.
The word family snatched the smile away from my face. I don't wanna look back now. Now that things are finally over for good. It did leave a terrible imprint on my mind.
It all came back though. The revelation was too much. Still it was a mystery to me
"Adi! Ma! And priyansha!" I said. I just remembered. How are they? And alisha too.! I'm not cruel like them.
"Hey hey no need to worry, they're okay, they're in the rooms next to you" he said smiling. I sighed in relief.
"And alisha?!" I aksed hesitantly and his eyes darkened.
"She's fine, the bullets out and didn't do any severe damage except for keeping her on bed rest for a month" he said coldly. He dosent know the truth yet! But he deserves to know.
"Don't worry everything's okay now. You won't have to see them or anyone ever again" he said sensing my concern. And my worries went out the window as soon as he said that.
"When can I meet them?" I asked tracing his hand. He chuckled. "When you yourself are fine" he said and kissed my cheek.
No no PDA not in front of the family. I looked around and they were all busy in themselves now. Huff.
The doctor came and checked me and everyone then went away after hearing the doctor say that I need to be here for one more day. Adi stayed back.
He came over to me when everyone left "promise me that from how you you'll tell me everything. No matter come what may. When I'm not available, which I would always be for you but if I'm not, ring me msg me constantly, send me letters through pigeons I don't care, you're gonna tell me. Look what keeping secrets led us to. I don't want a repeat of anything unless it's our lovemaking and kisses" he said and winked.
I laughed at first and then smacked his chest for being so shameless. And ladies and gentlemen that's how things for starting went back to normal.
Okay my love" I said and my kissed him.
