Hey everyone! Thanks for your lovely comments and pms!
Only two more parts after this one. I have exams and papers to work on for the next couple of weeks. This already my longest story or fic so far.
Part Twenty- Nine
They chatted for hours with Dai Mom. The next day Divya had to go to some business meetings.
" Amar tum Dai Mom ka khayal rakna. I'll be back later tonight," she promised.
Amar smiled.
" Dai Mom and me will have a blast. She is going to show me you childhood videos," he quipped.
Her eyes widened and she began to chase him around the room.
She started to throw pillows and scarves at him.
Gaytari came in and Divya stopped short.
" Sorry Dai Mom," she said sheephisly.
" Divya tumhe dere hori hai. Come down soon. Roger is waiting with the car," she stated.
Divya nodded. She stepped down from the bed and straightened her clothes and hair before walking out.
" Buaji, who bachpan ke photos aur movies…," he trailed off.
" Of course beta. Let's go down to the home theater. Divya's father had it built years ago," she stated.
They headed down to look at Divya's childhood memories.
Meanwhile Divya was annoyed with each of the buyers she met with. After a grueling four hours she finally found someone who could really take care of the business. She arranged for the funds to be transferred to two different accounts, one in Beneras and one in Delhi. She did not want to live in London anymore.
The clients took her out for a meal. However unknown to her one of the rejected candidates had slipped something into her soft drink.
Divya didn't feel right and excused herself from the dinner. Her head ached.
She called Roger to send the car,
" Roger I am not feeling well. Can you just come here and pick me up?,"
" Sure Madam. Do you need any assistance?," he inquired.
Divya felt like she would faint any second and she felt really scared all of a sudden.
" I think I need Amar..," she trailed off.
Meanwhile, Amar and Gaytari were cooking dinner.
" Divya probably won't eat much with the clients. She really likes it when we sit together and eat proper food," she stated.
Amar smiled as he recalled the kitchen scene in Beneras. Divya had tried to be wonder woman and do all the work herself.
" Divya can be very stubborn sometimes," he quipped.
" Abhi bhi bachi hai," Gaytari said.
Amar nodded but stopped short to see Roger motioning to him with a worried expression.
Amar told Gaytari he would be back later. She looked after his retreating figure with concern.
" Divya theek toh hai?," she wondered.
Divya walked out of the rest room, some goons grabbed her and put a gag on her.
She struggled to get free. She slipped out and started to run.
Meanwhile Amar felt his uneasiness grow.
" Shamunath, meri Divya ke raksha karma," he prayed.
Meanwhile Divya was running from the goons. Suddenly someone grabbed her and pulled her behind a wall.
She was about to scream, but then she realized these hands was familiar.
" Amar," she whimpered.
" You are safe now, Don't worry I got you," he whispered.
She embraced him and suddenly blacked out.
He quickly carried her to the car.
As they headed back, Amar tried to shake her awake.
" Divya hosh mein aao!"
She was breathing but did not gain consciousness.
Gaytari was astonished to see Divya' state when Amar and Roger brought her in.
" Kya hua meri Divya ko?," she inquired.
" Some goons were chasing her. I think she also ate something that didn't suit her," Amar said.
" Ok taker her to the room, we have to wake her up somehow," Gayatri said.
The doctor could not come in until morning at the earliest but gave instructions to monitor Divya for the night. She had a heavy fever.
Gaytari handed Amar some cloths and demonstrated how to wet them and place them on Divya's forehead.
" The doctor said that once she awakens, try to keep her up for a bit. If she has been drugged we need to know how it is affecting her," she stated.
Gaytari said she would be in her room down the hall and to call her in case he needed any help.
Amar assured her that he could take care of Divya.
As he applied the cloths on her forehead. Shayad Yeh Toh Pyaar hai playing in the background.
Amar recalled when Vidya had gotten burned and how Sagar took care of her. She was shy and was shy to let him left the end of her sari. Now here she lay not opening her eyes. He stopped applying the cloths and kissed her forehead.
He noticed now in the bright light how her dress was stained with dirt and grass stains from when she was running, maybe she had fallen. He gazed down to see a bit of dried blood around her knee. He lifted the cloth and rolled it up to above her knees..
He went to get the first aid kit.
Divya awakened and gazed around the room.
" Kahaan hoon main?," she wondered.
She looked to see her dress had rolled up. She looked around scared. Did someone..?
Then she noticed one of Amar's scarves hanging hook and one of his shirts. She smiled slightly.
