Chapter 11b:
Ayesha was sitting next to Aditiya and reading some case file. She was so involved in it that she didn't realise him waking up.
"Ayesha mami." he asked. "Where's dad?"
"He got some clue about Sakshi, so he went to investigate." Ayesha told him putting the file down.
"Will he find her?" Aditiya asked his voice trembling.
"Yes. He will. Even if he has to dig till the core of this earth." Ayesha comforted him. Aditiya weakly smiled and started praying.
"God, please bring back mom. I promise I wont annoy anyone. I promise I would be a good boy. Please bring mom back. I cant stay a day without her. God please." Aditiya prayed.
Ayesha hugged him to comfort him. Ayesha wiped her own tears at the statement of this kid.

"Sir, Sakshi can phone yahin kahi tha. I lost her signal." Shree said dissappointedly.
The whole team was looking for Sakshi all over the place. This was there biggest clue.
"Sir!" Chotu yelled. He had found Sakshi's phone but no Sakshi. The thing that shook them was that it had some blood on it but whose? Arjun just prayed to God that it wasn't Sakshi.
"I send the blood to the forensic lab." Shree said going.
"Chotu, make sure, if anyone sees this Kala Don's car, we should be informed." Rathore ordered Chotu.
"Yes sir." Chotu replied.

Sakshi was running in some jungle. She kept on running and running until her feet gave away. She was tired and exhausted. She hid behind two big bushes after she head someone coming.
"Kahan gayi?" Kala Don screamed in anger. "Ek ladki ko tum log sambhal nahi saktey!!"
"Boss, woh ek ACP ki biwi hai. Usney hamarey bndon ko zakhmi kiya." his man replied.
"Kaise?!?" Kala Don roared.
"Boss, usney ne hamarey ek admi ka bzaun mor diya aur us ne dard mein gun chalai jo dusrey ko lagi jo upper se nazar rakh raha tha. Woh neeche kadrey admi par gira jis ki gun chali aur chothey admi ko lagi." the man explained.
"UGGHH!" The Don groaned. "Hum kal aake ke dhoondey gein. 1 baj gaya hai. Itni raat ko woh jane aur janwr. CHALO!"
After a while all of them left. Sakshi wasn't scared of them or anyone the thing that bugged her was that she hadn't had her dose of the medicine. She couldn't risk an ulcer attack.
When she knew the coast was clear she came out. She grabbed a stick for protection and started walking.

"SIR, Kala Don ki ghadi jungle ke pass dekhi gayi hai." Chotu exclaimed.
"I'll go alone." Arjun said.
"lekin-" Rathore began.
"Shree chotu go home. You need rest. Sam, I want you to take Ayesha and Aditiya home. Please." Arjun said.
Rathore just nodded and left with Shree and Chotu. Arjun on the other hand rushed towards the jungle. He reached there and nearly jumped out of the car. He went running inside. He had kept the her medicine with her He didn't scream her name, knowing it would be only trouble for her.
Sakshi on the other hand, had grown tired. She felt she was going in circles. That's when the attack hit her.
"AAAHHH!" Sakshi screamed. She clutched her stomach. She started getting dizzy and she fell. She fell but two hands caught her and helped her stand. It was Arjun. He gave her medicine and waited for the pain to subside.
When the pain had subsided Sakshi realising her surrounding jumped from Arjun's hands. Arjun stared at her. She relaxed after seeing Arjun and ran into his arms.
'Arjun!" she said tears falling from her eyes.
"Shhh."Arjun patted her back. 'I'm here."
"Take me home." Sakshi said crying. Arjun scooped her up and took her to the car.
