31 – The torture, Pain…
"Oh the food is here? sooo quick?" Riddhima got up hearing the impatient knock on hotel room door, "commminnng!!" she shouted, and rushed towards door, opening it her smile flattered and she,"TUM? YAHAN?" she shouted, "Rohail?" she added as Rohail stepped a head with stern look and clasped her mouth with white napkin, she fought and pushed him away, instead of running outwards she ran inside the room, she mentally cursed her stupidity, and began to feel slightly dizzy – she knew there was something in that napkin, it hadn't affected her much though a little.
"Rohail? What are you doing here! Get out before I call security!" Riddhima took the side lamp in her hand, for self protection, "call whoever you want! But I will not leave you now!" he remarked, spitefully. "Why are you doing this…? Leave me alone!" she felt scared with rage of anger she witness in his eyes, "you will know it all! Just wait and watch, you bitch!" he spoke disrespectfully, as he took quick steps reaching up to her, he holds her hand and at that moment she quickly hit his face through lamp – he let her go and touched his forehead as it ached a bit, she ran to couch area and tried to call reception, when Rohail walks with a hand over his forehead as the lamp glass bulb cut throw his skin a bit, "you!" Rohail pushed the couch and lashed towards her, pushing her on ground, straight he sat over her and covered her face with the napkin, she withered under his hold, she hit him with her small fist, but soon her withering was gone as she fainted due to medicine effect!!!!
"Armaaan…" she whispered, before finally fainting. And next moment Rohail stood up rubbed his hand over his jeans and made a phone call to someone, and then approx. after 15 minutes – Rohail picked her up in his arms and ran out of the lobby towards the lift, seeing people staring at him, he spoke loudly, "my wife fainted, I called ambulance where are they?" he shouted as to sound worried, onlookers gave a sympathy look and then the lift opened up two nurse dress men came out, "we are from hospital – did you call sir?" the nurse asked, "yes yess… she fainted help me!" Rohail said and made her sit down on the wheel chair, and the nurse rushed the wheel chair in the lift and down the lobby – crossing the entrance, they got everyone's attention – though the hotel didn't interrogated as the ambulance was out at the entrance waiting for the patient, finally getting her in the ambulance bus, they closed the door and the bus was on the road.
Silent touched reception area, and then everyone shook their head and went back to their previous work.
An hour later the silent atmosphere turned out in to rumpus, the babble of crowd - the police siren could be heard – the waiters, lobby incharge, lift man were all gathered at a corner and was being warned by officers through a announcement speech…
The scattered room, of MR. and Mrs. Malik was sealed through yellow taps, pictures were being clicked, questions were being asked, and off course the media was telecasting the report.
But none's attention drew towards the incident of an unknown man taking a faint women in his arm from the centre of the reception; none told the police about this incident and neither their tiny brain could have a thought of that person being the culprit!

"uhmmm…." She tried to speak; the room was dark pitch black – and there was this voice only, her voice, once the night passed away, and sun walks in throw one of the window in the room, the view of room came in to picture. Riddhima was settled right below the window, her hands were tied in front – at her chest, her feet were tied too with a cloth over her mouth, almost splitting her mouth into two, as the cloth has parted her mouth open; her throat was dried. Her head kept falling down on floor as the medicine still left symptoms over here… "urrrmaaammm!" she tried to speak but the cloth was not helping at all…
Tears grew in her eyes and trickle down her cheek, the thought of Rohail made her jerk up, she looks around and tried to stand by pushing a pressure on her knee cap, she thought to do little crawl but fell down on the hard floor again, tears seep out of her eyes as she couldn't do much to help herself, she missed Armaan, she was terribly scared of Rohail's plan…
Seeing the door open, she dragged herself back on her hip to her originate place, she saw the black figure walking in and when the window light fell on the person, she saw Rohail smirking down at her, "finally you woke up… huh?" Rohail sat down on one knee and clasped her chin through his fingers, caressing her cheek with the thumb; to which she turned her face away, "still the same attitude! Still the same Riddhima! Almost 7 months and you haven't changed!" Rohail held her face roughly in his hand and pulled her face close to him, through his hold her cheeks felt pain, and tears stroke off her eyes, tears caressing her cheek, "you have destroyed me Riddhima, I will destroy you!" he moved forward and kiss her cheek, whispering in her ear, she backed her face away from him when he clasped her hair and yanked her closer to him, "never… never run away from me, ever!! Or you will tend to hurt yourself!" he said, kissing her other cheek, "uhhmmm… mmm" she tried to say something, wiggling in her place,
"You want to say something?" he opens her mouth and saw her taking sigh, he smiled and looks in her eyes, "Rohail let me go… please Rohail… don't do this… please leave me! I don't love you! This is wrong – you are wrong! Please let me Go…!" she pleaded with sincerity… she was scared of what a devil she has created in Rohail but was she at fault? Yes she was, at some extent she was – if she had cleared the things on first day – told him she was married none of this would have happened… she would not be here like this, where her safety was at question!
"Let you GO? Let YOU GO???" he stood up and punched the wall, "How can I? Damn it!! I LOVE YOU!!! And you SHALL REMAIN WITH ME FOR EVER!!! GET THAT STRAIGHT!! AND FORGET THAT ARMAAAN!" he spoke with obsession, madness in his voice; he held her hair and yanked her up on her foot. "I can never FORGET ARMAAN! He is IN ME! I belong to him…. I can never belong to any other man except him!" she cried in pain and told him, her legs shakes up due to unstable stand.
"YOU BELONG TO ME!! ONLY ME!! GET IT!" he slapped her right over her cheek, she fell down and cried.
"Is this your love? Is this how you should treat me!" she spitted out at him, he looks down at her – his eyes soften for a second, "you deserve this! You destroyed me Riddhima, look what have you made me? A devil? A wild animal! I sleep with girls every night – I was not like this, I was a good college going student, you came in my life and broke me – you are the sole reason, for all this! You have to pay for this…. all your life!" pause, "all your life!" he said. "I will kill myself but never be yours" she fought shouting her lungs out, "I will keep you alive! I won't let you die so easily Riddhima… not so easily!" Rohail told and walks out of the room. She cried – boring her eyes out with tears, and pain…

"Raj Malhotra office?" Billy said, "Yes sir, are you Billy Malik?" the reception girl asked, lowering her specs down on her nose, "yes… please could you hurry up!" Billy said, impatiently, "Come along with me Sir…" The reception woman told them to follow, "sir is waiting for you, please go ahead!" The woman opened the door and they all stepped in,
RAJ PICTURE!
"My son, Armaan and Rahul," both shook hands with Raj, "my wife…" Armaan stepped in, "I know, I know, son!" Raj said, "By professionally I am a business tycoon, not a big one like your dad Armaan, but a small one," Armaan frowned and looks at his dad confused, "don't worry – your dad has came to right person, I secretly work as a private detective too!" Raj spoke grave and Armaan nodded, "it's a long story son, I was 9 year old when I always dream……" Raj began to speak when Armaan interrupted impatiently, "can we do this fast – I have my whole life to hear your past story how you became a detective? Why you became a detective and all… please, I want Riddhima back as soon as possible!"
"Armaan!" Billy stopped him, "it's okay Billy, the lad is really worried, I will tell him about my story once we get Riddhima back!" Raj said, and Armaan rolled his eyes at this Raj fellow, "I have pulled out the information, that the officer guess to forget, my agent went to your hotel and he just called me a minute back and told me, a guy had a woman in his arm, in the lobby on the same floor where Armaan has a room, and the guy had shouted that his wife had fainted and took the lady out from the middle of the hotel, and none gave it a notice! That it was your wife!" Raj said, "Your wife was wearing a white cotton pajama suit… with" Raj was interrupted,
"With small mini mouse print over it!" Armaan said, settling down on a chair, "yes!" Raj said, "The kidnapers had managed a hospital bus and took her in it! So that none can question the person…" Raj added, "Do you doubt any one?" Raj asked Armaan, who shook his head in no,
"I do!" Rahul stepped in, getting Armaan's attention, "Who?" Armaan and Raj said it together, "Vivek!! Armaan's friend!" Rahul said,
"Shut up Rahul! No Raj! Vivek is a friend I don't doubt him!" Armaan interrupted,
"Excuse me," Billy went to a side and received Shahank's phone call, "If Rahul doubt this guy I will keep a doubt on this guy too!" Raj said, dialing a number, "No Raj – it's a waste of time!" Armaan frowned,
"oh really bhai, he was the one who took you out – while you left Riddhima behind, he was the only one who knew Riddhima is alone behind! None knew that except him, few hours back when Anjali directly accused him, he had blasted off on her! And had gone away, and if he is a friend either he should have being with you or should have helped you but he had just ran away!!! I sure he was afraid of being caught!!" Rahul told the different type of picture to Armaan. "Call him Armaan! Ask his location!" Raj said,
Armaan called him and the bell ring, after few bell Vivek received it, "where are you Vivek?" Armaan asked placing the phone on loud speaker, "at home! Why did you find Riddhima?" Vivek asked, confused,
"no Vivek, actually I am not aware of sans Francisco much – can you help around in finding Riddhima…." Armaan said, "uhhmmm Armaan the thing is I am going to Oakland for some business work, I can't help you much – don't worry police of sans Francisco is really fast – she will be back really soon, don't worry mate! And I am sorry I can't make it up, because your friends had really insulted me…" Vivek said, trying to put excuse after excuse.
"I am sorry about my friends Vivek, I thought you could help me, but it's okay, I will leave everything on Police! Bye…" Armaan closed the phone!
"Wow! What a friend you have Armaan!" Raj teased only to get a glare from Armaan, "don't worry, I doubt this guy a lot, he unknowingly gave us his address!" Raj said,
"What if he isn't really going to Oakland?" Rahul asked, frowning, "he is going there! I am tracing his mobile and 1st, he is NOT at Home, he lied. And second he is on the bridge that connects Sans Francisco and Oakland, the bay bridge!" Raj pulls a bag over his shoulder and ran out,
"Rahul RAJ ! listen to me!" Billy stopped them all,
"I have to go back, Shahank has somehow manage the tickets through sources, he will land up soon, and keep connected to me, I will send the police behind you!" Billy hugged his son Armaan, "be careful I want her back alive along with you too! Don't take justice in your hand, just find her, and let the court decide Vivek's punishment!" Billy warned Armaan, who looks away and sat in the front seat of Raj's Mitsubishi pajero! "Bye Dad!" Rahul hugged and took a back seat, "don't worry Billy I am with them!" Raj hugged him and ran and took the seat of driver and ran across,
"Here open this device!" Raj gave a device to Armaan, "we are at south Park right now - And street 2 will bring us on the bay bridge!" Raj explained the map shown on the device "and the blinking Red spot is his (Vivek) car, as long his phone is alive, we can get him, once it's off…. We are stuck!" Raj ran across the small police office, at the south park,
"We can't inform Police to block the bay bridge, because in that way we would never know where Riddhima is!" Raj said, as Armaan was making a call, "and let me tell you – it's not a work of Vivek only, Vivek was with you in the party, someone else had kidnapped her! Either he is a partner of Vivek or worker, but we have to reach up to her first!" Raj said, soon the road that connected to bay bridge came to end and soon Raj drove the car over the bridge, over the water, Armaan looks around the sea and closes his eyes as her innocent face came in front,
The black sky had gone away and the light of new day seek over them, a tear cross his cheek, it had been almost 8 hours of him being away from her, his heart was racing, few hours of driving on the longest bridge! Armaan drew in the thoughts of Riddhima,
"I am telling you, I am not coming! I don't like the way he eyes me from down to up! You will never notice, because you are not girl! And he surely does not stare at you with those bad eyes! I am not going!" ……… "No…. I am not going anywhere with that Vivek's company! I don't like him…… you also don't go – if you love me!" her words stroked his mind, as hearing the device beep, he looks down,
There was a small island that connected Sans Francisco to Oakland via Treasury land. "He said Oakland going right, then why did he stop at this treasury land?" Raj frowned and "ahhhaa! That's his car that red Ferrari!" Raj added as the Vivek car came in view and soon Vivek came out halting his car under a hotel, "what is he hungry?" Rahul said, scowling "Maybe we are wrong in following Vivek!" Armaan said. As Raj Park the car far away from where they could make out Vivek, but Vivek couldn't
"No we are not, he has came here to collect take away!" pause "Riddhima likes Chinese! I hope so, as Vivek is buying food from Chinese Restaurant!" Raj added, teasingly, while Armaan glared at him, "Raj could you please keep up with your dirty jokes with yourself!" Armaan said.
"Relax bhai, raj is right! See Vivek collect more than one packet of food!" Rahul pointed at Vivek, who held a huge shopper with lots of food.
"Let's go Raj!" Armaan said, with a slight hope that he might be near Riddhima, as Vivek ran the car across the treasury land and again they were on the huge bay bridge that shall stop only at the Oakland.

She shuffled in her place as after few hours she heard someone walking in while whistling, "Riddhima…" Rohail called out, "I am sorry I hit you," he made her stand with a lot of her withering, still "but you were at faults too na, never mention his name in front of me, and then I shall take care of you forever! Hmmm" he kissed her cheek, where he had slapped her,
"Now come along with me!" he bend down and picked her up in his arms, "Please stop wiggling so much – I haven't even done anything…. Yet!" he said, "Rohail… let me go!" she cried, her feet and hands were still tied up – she felt so helpless and scared, "I will never let you go, Sweet heart!" he brought her to another room, and made her sit on the bed, "this is my room!" he announced opening the light, she looks up at him, and down at bed, she was shocked to notice red petals all over the bed with a jasmine smell in the room, she cried and tried to free herself from the rope, as the bad thoughts came to her imagination ,"no …Rohail… no! you can't do this! Nooo!" she kept on saying trying to open the threads
"I can do this Riddhima! Are you questioning my Manhood?" he spoke with a challenge, "no no… please let me go… Pleaseee no!" she cried on the bed, fighting till the last spirit in her soul, "tccch… now stop spoiling the atmosphere… see how beautiful I have created this room for us… and only for us! Just you and me!" Rohail tuck off his shirt, she closed her eyes and dragged her hips on bed to get off the bed, which eventually made her fell over her face on carpet, "tcch… why are you hurting yourself Sweetheart!" he spoke making her sit back on bed, as he began to open the buttons of her night suit top, "ahhh! ROHAIL !! NOOO!" she moved her hands and held the top collar of her shirt top with her fingers, crying and backing away, "I love Armaan… I belong… to ARMAAN!" she told him,
He grew immensely angry and pushed her down on bed, jumping over her, with his legs on other side of her, he claimed her waist under her top, digging his nails in bare waist, he heard her wail loudly, her throat pained due to constant shouts, but she had too – she thought may be a messiah shall hear her and save her!
"Armaaannn!" she shouted even more, when he tore her one sleeve and dip his head in her neck and kiss her, she screamed – shouted pleading God to send Armaan at once, but he wasn't here… not even near, she was getting scared even more, "chodddo dou mujha! I hate you!!!" she shouted hitting him with her joined, tied legs and hands, "Armaan Armaan Armaaan!" he shouted on her face, clutching her hair in his fist, "if he had loved you, he would have been with you – he would not have gone to Party with Vivek!" he told her on her face,
She looks at him shock, alarmed – a shudder pass through her vein when she thought that Rohail is not alone in this, "Vi…Vivek…?" she whispered, "yes… Sweetheart, you shall entertain two men all your life from today," he touched her chest, though he couldn't much as her hands were locked at that place, "Nooo." She cried and scratched her nails over his face, "ahhh!" Rohail cried and got away from her as she had dug her nails deep in his face.
"You will pay for this you bitch!" He walks up to her while she tried to sit up on bed, hearing a sudden knock – he glared at her and went out of the room, "I will be back Just wait! wh**e!" he said, and stepped out, and received the phone that worker was passing to him…
"hello Vivek? You will be reaching within an hour? Okay… I should send all the guards away? I mean the workers are asking leave and money for their part of work... Okay okay! Yes I will do that!" Rohail cuts the call, "gather everyone at lounge and I will be there!" Rohail told to one of his worker, who nodded and went away;
Rohail walks in the room, too see Riddhima settled on bed with a fainting look, Rohail picks his shirt, "I have work to look up… and your punishment for now is No food No water! Until you learn, to respect your master!" Rohail went up to her pushed her down on bed and went away,
Riddhima's head was spinning, due to 9 hours of constant tie, shouts, cry was bringing a severe trauma to her internal system, and once he had pushed her down on bed, she didn't tried to get up she didn't felt the energy to get up, "armaaan…." She mumbled and her eyes closed down…. She was afraid for how long will this go on… she needed her husband and some water for sure….
---
"Raj, where is he going, it been hours we following him – I hope he is the right culprit!" Armaan angrily said, "What do you want me to do? Stop following him? Will that work for you?" Raj scolded Armaan, this was limit for him – he had been hearing Armaan's constant blabber, and he hated his lack of suspicion on this Vivek guy! "I am worried about her! What if… what if…. My heart is on its rush – you are doing nothing bass running after a man! What if he is NOT the one who kidnapped her?" Armaan blasted off at Raj, "fine… what if HE IS the one who is kidnapped her!" Raj blasted back,
"Shut up yrr! He stopped the car, at Camp bell village area; see its displaying in the device!" Rahul interrupted the two, "good! Let go after Him!" Armaan started to go out,
"Not like this…! Wait up! For a while," pause, "what if he has people inside, we are not enough to fight a dozen people!" Raj added, stopping them as they saw Vivek rushing in the building….
"Rohail buddy!!! Great Job!!!" Vivek ran into a building located in Campbell Village area. "thankx vivek, I am giving them 100$ each okay!" Rohail quickly handed over money to each, and soon they went out of the building……..
"See Look how many people came out of the building I guess – we should call police now!" Raj said, "But what if she is not inside?" Armaan said, frowning as they all got out of the car,
"That's the other thing, I am making a call, and we will go inside after five minutes!" Raj said, making a call to Police, "Hello Police station, 880, street 7 Campbell village area, building 4a – I have traced a fellow and he had kidnapped one of my family member in that building – I want your help, to confirm if he is really the culprit!" pause, "kidnap that was done last night at sans Francisco, you must have heard – yes yes… please hurry up! Thank you!" Raj said,
"this 880 station is of this area," Raj point at the device where the station is located, "they will be here with in 10 mins, we will go after 5 minutes, so that Police can give us back up!" Raj declared and zoom his bioscope towards that building…………..
"Shall we go?" Vivek said, smirking devilishly, "yes …. I can't wait, anymore" Rohail and they both began to walk up to the room, where Riddhima was kept, "what happened to your face! She hit you?" Vivek asked, "Yes, that wh**e knows nothing except the word Armaan!" Rohail said, "She shall forget to say Armaan after few moments!" Vivek added and opened the door to see her curled on bed, "yummmy!" Vivek commented making Rohail laugh,
Riddhima woke up with a jerk and stared at the two guys, she felt helpless, and "……*silence*…………Vivek how could you! Armaan trusted you as a friend!" she commented thought to get him some sense, "and I back stabbed him, I don't care – he would never know it was me and he would never get you back, so that you could tell him about me!" Vivek commented and held her curled foot in his hand and yanked her on bed straight.
"Nooo!" she shouted, and tried to hit his face with her joint legs, but he held both her legs down, together while Rohail jumped over the bed beside her, she pushed her body up to fight back, she was feeling really weak but she had promised herself she won't let herself down so easily – she will fight for herself…… soon both turned her around on bed and made her lie down on her stomach, her least movement also stopped and her back faced them – Vivek still held her legs straight while Rohail shameless cut her Top shirt through a scissor, she shouted screamed – all mighty she could do, she cried as she felt her top getting away from her skin and she just remained in her pajama, they turned her around again and laid her straight on bed, now her face was straight looking up at ceiling, Vivek held on to her feet while Rohail removed the rest of the tore pieces of her shirt, she cried, pleading them to let her go… but none heard her, Rohail bend down and kissed her navel, and that is when her movement came to a halt and she felt dizzy helpless – scared of getting raped at any moment, with all courage, she shouted last time, "Armaaan!" with all her might, and that was it, she shuddered…thinking that was it, end of her….. As his touch on her skin became violent, he came upto her neck kissed her while she remains in some sort of shock, tremor, her soul jolted. Though her hands tied up together hid her chest perfectly…… and Vivek held her feet down straight while the next moment Rohail jumped over her and kissed her face, neck where ever he got place to do so…
