Chapter three

12pm in a rented apartment, Chandigarh.

"I don't want pizza for lunch, i want my Poppin", Riya was adamant . She was missing her uncle. 

"Eat beta, then u will fall sick, Riya's grandma persuaded her lovingly to which the little girl still refused for even a single bite. 

The oldie was the master mind behind the kidnapping as she was tired of playing the cat and mouse game to get her grandkid's custody. She was losing patience. 

12pm in a motel room, moga

His head spinned as he opened his eye and searched around the room. "When did i check into a motel?" He was puzzled and then recalled that he was working at the porch area at sandhus residence with some men fixing the canopies where lunch would be served to the guests after the marriage took place. He wanted the best for tejo and her family after all the humiliation that was thrown upon them where partly he was to be blamed apart from her own sister.

While working , he didn't realize when he was struck with three hard blows at the back of his head

"Jasmin , did she do this? She got me kidnapped?. I am sure she wants to destroy tejo's marriage". 

He was furious and stood up at once. To his horror, he was just in his shorts and his clothes were lying on the floor. 

" Who removed his clothes. What was going on? Was he raped??" 

He sank on the wooden floor, confused, annoyed and upset. He gathered some courage and put on his clothes rushing to open the door. It was locked from the outside. He was trapped. 

The drive from Moga to Chandigarh was 168km by road which was a three hour plus journey. There were two reasons , he couldn't book flight or train tickets at the last minute and he wanted to buy some time to trap the kidnappers. He wasn't gonna give them a single penny.. He had contacts in the crime branch department and had the authorities working with him in the nick of time for the rescue mission.

Angad mann was a shrewd business man. He knew riya was still in danger after the first kidnapping attempt in Shimla. So he fitted hidden cameras all over his Moga residence for her safety apart from the cctv cameras that were already present when he bought the property.  She was forbidden to go anywhere till the custody case was resolved after he married tejo 

Unfortunately she went missing on the marriage day. It seemed destiny didn't want him to be united with tejo. Perhaps there was something coming in his way. Only time will tell.  . He sighed to  his twisted fate as he drove towards Chandigarh. 

His phone rang and was relieved when the  officer in charge from the crime branch who was handling Riya's case spoke impatiently.

" Sir, we got the footage from the hidden cameras. The cctvs were not working. They were damaged. It was a job of a bunch of professional kidnappers where three of the them are on the wanted list. Their records are with the crime branch and soon the cops will be on their trail.  And there was a shot of riya's grandma sneaking at the backyard in conversation with one of the kidnappers"

 They had the full recordings as a proof.

" Yes, i knew it . It has to be her. I was prepared ( that explains why he fitted the hidden cameras) . She thinks she's smart. She doesn't know who i am ".
