Part 30
"bas***d" and kicked him in barbarous manner. Prithvi brutally beat him almost to death. Abhishek was lying on the floor.
Prithvi hold his hair "i won't kill you easily" lifted him with one strong hand griped around his neck and threw him on the floor again. "your death has to be something fun for me, isn't it"
Abhishek could hardly speak "i...i...am sorry Prithvi...Please leave me"
Prithvi while putting his right foot on his chest "leave you?..." with another blowing kick on Abhishek's face "hmmm ok"
Prithvi "put this bas***d in the car" he said to his men
Abhishek trembled "no...don't kill me"
Prithvi "now tell me where did you forced Nandini to jump"
Abhishek "i can take you there, but will you please leave me then?"
Prithvi "bring him fast" he ordered
His security men lifted Abishek in the car, he managed to tell the right way towards the river where Nandini had jump.
Prithvi looked into the river and imagined Nandini jumping off this huge and dangerous falls, then turned towards the car and atrociously pulled Abhishek out very cruelly shouted at him "i will punish you in such a way that even your ancestors will tremble"
Prithvi looked at one of his security men "remember to take him to a special place which I found for him, and yes make sure he enjoys his stay"
His men tied his hands and mouth and covered his eyes with a black cloth. They took him in a bad and isolated dark place. There wasn't a single person around. They threw him in the room, which was closed from all sides, had no window, it was pitch dark. All Abhishek could hear was the sounds of small insects and rats around him. He pleaded the men to take him out but they pushed him in and locked the house forever.
After some time
Prithvi surveyed the whole area around the river...deep inside he was sure that Nandini was still alive. He asked his men to search the whole jungle. He himself went around with them...
Daya "Sir are you sure we can find any person here"
Daya was Prithvi personal security guard.
Prithvi "yes Daya, I don't know but I want to look in every corner of this jungle, I don't care how long it takes." while pointing towards the right side "lets start from here"
He ordered his men to get the relevant things to stay in the jungle as it might get dark soon and they won't be able to go back.

Next day
Nandini said good bye to Parvati and Bhola...
While Nandini was sitting in his jeep Bhima gave the money to Parvati, to which Parvati smiled and kept the money in her dupatta. Bhola stood helpless and watched an innocent girl in the hands of a devil.
Bhima knew Nandini might create trouble once she gets to know that she has been sold to him. While passing away from the jungle, they came on the highway.
After some time
Bhima "we should stop at the next shop, I am hungry and I am sure you must be hungry as well."
Nandini simply nodded.
Bhima while getting water for Nandini mixed something which made her instantly fall asleep.
Bhima smiled "now you won't wake up for next few hours and I can safely reach Delhi"
____***********
In the mean time Prithvi was still in the jungle looking around for any clue when he came across a small house, it wasn't a house rather a cottage. He thought of looking around and noticed Bhola, he approached him "have you seen a young girl here?"
Bhola got nervous "no...no...hmm...no"
Prithvi doubted the man "what?? yes or no?"
Bhola "how did she look?"
Prithvi immediately got a clue that the person saw Nandini, "very fair, long hair" and suspected Bhola very carefully
Bhola couldn't lie as he knew what his wife did was wrong...
Prithvi got furious and took out his gun and pointed towards him "speak up or I will shoot you"
Bhola immediately got frightened while Parvati saw someone pointing gun towards her husband she screamed and came running towards them "why are you killing my husband sir..what did he do"
Prithvi "oh so you want me to shoot your wife as well??...tell me fast"
Parvati sweated "are you talking about Nandini sir?"
Prithvi eyes frowned more fiercely towards her " where is she??"
Parvati got super scared and immediately apologized to Prithvi "sorry sir...it is all my mistake"
Prithvi glared at her while she started crying "i was selfish and my husband is innocent, even he told me not to sell her but I got greedy for money"
Prithvi "sell her???"
Bhola spoke "yes sir, my wife has sold Nandini to a hunter Bhima, I apologize sir, you should shoot me for this crime. Nandini is innocent, she doesn't even know we have sold her"
Prithvi raged with anger and punched Bhola hard on his face, he couldn't control his anger, lifted a heavy stone in front of him and threw it away furiously.
Bhola and Parvati got scared by his sudden reaction, Parvati folded hands "please sir, don't kill us"
Prithvi "where has he taken her??"
Parvati "Delhi, rest we don't know sir"
Bhola "sir I found her roughly nine to ten months back, she was in a very bad condition, she couldn't walk for six months, I regularly bandaged her, she jumped from a very heavy cliff and was hurt badly on her feet. I was not happy for what my wife did. Sir I have done wrong, you can give me any punishment"
Prithvi glared at them angrily and walked away from there.
____************
Richa "hold this bag, it seems heavier, lets clear the customs first"
Angad "yes...yes give it to me"
Richa "i hope Prithvi had found Nandini"
Angad "i think I should call Prithvi and check with him, he must have or he will surely find her"
Richa "ok lets go out of the airport first and then call him"
Angad called Prithvi to check
Prithvi "i am coming to Delhi Angad, can you do one thing?"
Angad "yes sure, tell me?"
Prithvi "i will meet in few hours at my place"
Angad "yes I will be there"
He couldn't have peace until he finds her but he was relieved that atleast she was alive. Prithvi felt guilty about his life, he couldn't protect her, she lived in such a disgusting place for so many months and she tolerated so much pain, how could he face her. This guilt was growing stronger by each passing day.
