CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR
'Come on, let me grab you something in the cafeteria...'' said Raman but as he turned to leave, he saw from the corner of his eye Mark with a couple of gentlemen causing him to stop
'What is the meaning of this...'' He asked
'Oh I am only doing my job Sir...'' Said Mark
'Meaning what...'' Said Simmi
'Well I told you the police are on their way. They are here to arrest her for attempted burglary and trespassing'' Said Mark
'Are you for real right now...'' Said Raman in shock
'This is your fault for bring that demon girl into our lives...'' Said Simmi melodramatically
'Shhsss keep your voices down this a hospital...'' Said Priya
'Can't you even just wait until she recovers...'' Said Raman
'Criminals aren't given that luxury...'' Said Mark
'My sister is no criminal... I suggest you stay in your limits Mr. Bodyguard...'' Said Raman angrily
'Sir... I suggest that...'' Mark began as he walked forward
'Mark... That is enough... Drop it...Let them be...'' Said Priya
'But...'' Mark began
'I know and Ishita will handle it. You and I both know she is not pressing charges...'' Said Priya
'Am sorry I was only doing my job and no offense but you're not my bo...'' Mark began
'Ohh ... Hooo I would hold off if I were you. And in case you forgot, the ALT doesn't belong to my father, it is Ishita's...'' Said Priya
'Sorry Mam...'' Said Mark stepping back
'Thought so... Now can you please escort these men outside and explain to them what is going on'' Said Rinky and Mark obliged
'Are you happy? You brought them into our lives and allowed them insert into it and have refused to get out. Now they just destroy everything... They are nothing but trouble and you are so naive and stupid you can't even see it...You just think with what is in your pants'' Said Simmi
'I will not have you talk to me like that in front of my kids so watch yourself...'' Said Raman as he looked down at his very quiet children
'You will regret it Raman... Ishita she is nothing but trouble...'' Said Simmi but Raman just walked away
'Hey... How is She'' Said Pratik who had finally made it their but no one answered him
'What happened...'' He added
'Ask her...'' Said Simmi angrily
'Priya...'' Said Pratik
'I don't...'' Priya began but Simmi cut her off
'They want to arrest Rinky minutes after she left surgery...'' Said Simmi crying as she hurriedly walked away
'She left surgery hours ago and we warned you we couldn't hold off for long'' Said Rinky carelessly that even Pratik took it in the wrong way
'What the hell is the matter with you people...'' Said Pratik as he followed her
'What the f**k is going on today'' Said a shocked Priya
Back with Rinky, she lay in bed holding her breath as she waited for Ishita to show up. God knows she was in more trouble than she led on and had she told her brothers they would have just made it worse. Ishita had a way of getting away with things and that so discretely and she needed her help with that. The question was how she was going to convince her.
Ishita walked in standing at the end of the bed looking at Rinky and it finally donned on her why Romi was freaking out the way he was. She looked completely miserable and in pain but mostly terrified and she was doing a horrible job at hiding it.
'Why don't you ask for more morphine'' Ishita asked causing Rinky to pull her head up
'Not interested...'' Said Rinky
'Why not... You think taking that pain makes you what? Tough ...'' Said Ishita
'Not important... Can you come here such that I can see you...'' Said Rinky and Ishita folding her hands across her chest walked beside the bed and looked at Rinky
'What do you want'' She asked
'No... The question is what do you want'' Said Rinky
'Why would I want anything from you...'' Said Ishita
'I may have been caught but I know about Phoenix...'' Said Rinky clearly proud of herself
Ishita looked at her a bit surprised wondering whether or not she had managed to really get to where Phoenix was.
'So... Everyone does... What has that got to do with it?'' Said Ishita putting on the best poker face she could such that she didn't give a thing away
'No... Listen I know what your guards said. I know they think they caught me getting in but actually they got me getting out...'' Said Rinky and Ishita started looking pale
'Now do I have your attention...'' Said Rinky
'That is impossible...'' Said Ishita
'True... But unlike most people, I didn't fall for that all tech company security garbage... I just looked in the right places and boom there it was in plain sight...'' Said Rinky and Ishita kept quiet
'I have to say though; you are way smarter than you lead on. I bet you are the smartest person in the room half the time but you are so damn good at blending in you could go unnoticed forever. I get Abhi's jealousy I mean I wouldn't want to be your sibling... Like seriously an impressed...'' Rinky added completely smug
'What did you see exactly...'' Said Ishita as she sat down
'Enough to know what it was or what it is supposed to be...'' Said Rinky
'Meaning...'' Said Ishita
'No... I am not telling you shit... Actually I am not saying a thing until I get what I want...'' Said Rinky
Ishita looked at her for a second or two almost as if assessing what she had just heard. She took her phone out, removed her sim card and began doing something with it. Rinky couldn't quite see but in after about 4 minutes. She put the sim back in and began smiling
'Okay... What were you saying'' said Ishita demeanor completely different
'Phoenix... Come on focus...'' Said Rinky arrogantly
'Right... Right ...'' Said Ishita
'You know I think your brothers have spoilt you way too much...'' She added walking out
'What... Where are you going'' Said Rinky and Ishita turned
'I don't even think you quite understand the gravity of the trouble you in let alone the fact that you are in no position to even make any demands or act smug and c**ty...'' She said
She had a demeanor about her, like she knew something Rinky didn't. Like she somehow knew that no threat in that moment would even carry any weight. Like she knew Rinky was bluffing and she had nothing.
'Being a Raghav comes with so much responsibility. The reason my company had stayed relevant and fresh is because I was able to run it even from the outside. You wanna know how...'' said Ishita as she leaned into looking straight at Rinky
'By not allowing part time ignorant lowlifes like you get the best of me. Not even my own father even understands what Phoenix is. I mean he thinks he knows but he has no idea. No one knows where it is or what it does. You want to know why...'' Said Ishita and Rinky swallowed hard clearing her dry throat because she was scared
'I am Phoenix... The codes and algorithms are right here'' Said Ishita as she tapped the temple of her head with her index finger
'My backs ups... Priya, Mihika, Shlok and Varun... They know what to do in case something ever happened to me. So each of them has a bit of it with them...The Alt has hardware, just that. We protect it because... Well... Our designers are second to none. But it is useless without the software that even if you saw it you wouldn't know what to do with it...It is like a very good looking body of a car but no engine... You know...'' She added
'Ishi...'' Rinky began
'I gave up a lot to make sure I protected it. It is so entwined and interlinked that even if you are to break one branch away, the remaining ones are strong enough to withhold a hurricane. I am Anjali Raghav's daughter and I will go to hell and back to protect her legacy... You should know better than to threaten that'' said Ishita angrily and Rinky could tell, she had hit a very raw nerve
'Tha... I will...'' Rinky began stammering
'You are here today Rinky, believe me because I will it be...If it wanted, you wouldn't be breathing right now. So threating me while trying to destroy my mother's legacy...'' Said Ishita as she stepped back
'Tts tstss... Very bad idea'' She added in a manner so calm and yet so effective that Rinky began freaking out
Rinky watched and began panicking. My God these Raghavs had a demeanor about them but she was quickly learning Ishita was the worst of them all because of how unpredictable she was. That was a threat, out rightly and it scared the crap out of Rinky given how believable it was.
Pissing Ishita off was not going to work because she needed her help. The problem was Ishita didn't like her and she didn't hide it. Asking for help was something Rinky didn't think would help but she had no choice
'Hold on... Ishita please... Wait...'' Said Rinky her voice breaking
Ishita who could see Raman through the glass door walking by with his kids took a deep breath
'I so hope your brother is worth this headache...'' Said Ishita as she turned
'Please... I am in trouble...'' said Rinky as all of a sudden she began shaking out of terror
'Aren't you always...'' Said Ishita
'Please...'' Said Rinky
'Why are you trying to steal from me'' Ishita asked
'I don't...'' Said Rinky
'Oh is that why you keep on breaking into my building'' Said Ishita but Rinky just began tearing up as she tried to sit up
'Ouch...'' She winced in pain
'Stay down... You are supposed to keep that elevated...'' Said Ishita and she began feeling sorry for her
'What kind of trouble are you in...'' Said Ishita but Rinky kept quiet
'If you can't tell me I can't help you... And that means you're wasting my time...'' Said Ishita
'Okay... Just ... Okay ...'' Said Rinky and with no choice she gave in
'3 years ago I got into an accident that kind of shattered my dreams of being a dancer...'' Said Rinky
'I didn't know that...'' said Ishita a bit surprised

SCROLL DOWN FOR NEXT
CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE
'No one did. I told my family I was having an extended Semester and they bought it. I did a couple of surgeries to fix the problem but nothing... Dancing is all I have ever wanted to do. It is the only thing I know how to do and I am good at it. I knew telling my family would result into them telling me to end up at RKB and I was not interested in that. I would have suffocated in that place. So I came back to Delhi and started working at this dance studio. Once in a while we were asked to go teach at dance schools and stuff...'' Said Rinky
'The Vault dance studio...'' Said Ishita
'Yeah... I worked there and was doing well too until early this year...'' said Rinky
'What happened...'' Said Ishita
'The owners were retiring and the wanted to sell off the studio. I didn't want to lose the place and I saw an opportunity and decided to buy the place...'' said Rinky
'So what is the problem...'' Said Ishita
'I tried to ask for a loan from Simmi, she wouldn't help me. Raman being Raman instead said I was too irresponsible and wouldn't loan me that kind of money. He just increased my allowance instead. Going to Romi was going to be a waste of time so I figured I get a loan...'' Said Rinky
'Where...? No bank was giving you a loan without...'' Said Ishita
'I know...That is where Aarav comes in. He worked a couple of blocks from the Vault and he told me he could introduce me to someone who could help...'' Said Rinky
'Abhishek...'' Said Ishita realizing Rinky had royally screwed up
Back outside, Pratik came back in with Simmi who was now seemingly calm and he joined Raman, Romi, Mihika and Priya where they were all seated waiting for Ishita and Rinky to finish their conversation. He could tell everyone was on edge and rightly so, there was a lot that needed to be handled given the sensitivity of the situation and him being a lawyer knew Raman had to be prepared.
'Raman... Should I call the firm, I can get a criminal Attorney here in less than 15...'' He said
'Pratik come on, at least find out if she is fine first...'' Said Priya
'Says the people who want to arrest her...'' He said
'Oh... Ohhh I see... Ishita isn't here so you need someone else in the firing line, I get it...'' Said Priya
'Not now... You people need to take your issues elsewhere...'' Said Romi and Pratik sat down
Back inside, Rinky was still beating round as she kept on holding back and Ishita was running out of patience
'Was it Abhimanyu...'' Ishita asked again
'Yeah... I swear if I knew what I know now I would have never done it. I feel like I was paying a never ending debt. The studio isn't doing so well and when Raman cut me off and my parents I had nothing so I couldn't make the payments monthly. And when he found out I was a Bhalla he figured he uses me to get to well, you because of Raman...'' Said Rinky in tears
'How much do you owe him...'' Said Ishita
'Well with the money I borrowed and the delayed payments and with the interest...'' Rinky began babbling
'How much...'' Ishita insisted
'15 Million...'' Said Rinky as she broke down
'My God Rinky...'' Said Ishita
'I am sorry... I swear I didn't have a choice. Now he has Mama and Papa and I am...'' said Rinky but Ishita cut her off
'Woah... Hold on... Back up... He what now...'' said a shocked Ishita
'He kidnapped them...'' Said Rinky tearfully
'When...'' Said Ishita
'2 Days ago... He said if I called police he would kill them and until I got him what he wanted he was not releasing them. I have about 8 hours. If he doesn't hear from me ...'' She cried
'Ishita am in big trouble...'' She added
'Do any of your siblings know this...'' Said Ishita
'No... Only Simmi does...'' Said Rinky
'Why wouldn't she give you the money or help you out...'' Said Ishita
'You don't know the half of it'' Said Rinky
'Even with your parents kidnapped...'' Said Ishita surprised and shocked
'Simmi is the devil... She doesn't care about anyone but herself...'' Said Rinky angrily
'And by your reaction she is somehow involved in this...'' Said Ishita and Rinky nodded
'Does she know that you know that she is involved...'' Asked Ishita
'No...'' Said Rinky lying
'Do I want to know about that drama...'' Said Ishita
'No... It is not important... Just get my parents...'' Said Rinky
'Ask for help...'' Said Ishita
'What...'' Said Rinky
'Stop telling me and ask me to help you otherwise I walk...'' Said Ishita calmly
'Give me a minute... You are not the easiest person to talk to...'' Said Rinky sniffing
'Really...'' Said Ishita as if surprised by that statement
'Yeah... You are annoying and 'a know it all'' and you can get grumpy and mean not to mention bitchy...'' Said Rinky
'Oh... Yeah I tend to be all the above... Sorry...'' Said Ishita
'Hang on... I can bet I heard Raman talk to your mother yesterday...'' Said Ishita
'At 4:45 pm for only 5 minutes, I know... It is...'' Rinky said and Ishita completed
'Organized that way...'' Said Ishita shaking her head
'Abhishek...'' She added thinking about it before she said
'Okay... But if am to help we are doing this my way'' Said Ishita and Rinky desperate said
'I will do whatever you want...''
'How are you supposed to contact him...'' Said Ishita
'I am supposed to call him and tell him I got what he wanted...'' Said Rinky
'What exactly is that?'' Said Ishita
'I was supposed to go into your server room and put something in their...'' Said Rinky hesitantly
'I doubt being vague now will help...'' Said Ishita knowing she was holding back
'I was to go in and put this flash thingie in one of your servers...'' Said Rinky
'Flash thingie... What is that...'' Said Ishita
'I don't know I am not a geek, I do not understand computer stuff...He said it did cloning stuff'' Said Rinky
Cloning stuff... What... Wait he wanted to spy on my software...'' Said Ishita chuckling as she added
'Abhishek is a bigger idiot than I thought...'' Shaking her head
'So... what are you going to do...'' Said Rinky
'You are going to do nothing... Sit tight and allow me think...'' Said Ishita as she took her phone
'Hey... Find your way into Bhalla's room discretely...'' Said Ishita before she hang up
'Who was that...'' Said Rinky
'Someone who is going to get your parents back...'' Said Ishita as they waited for a few minutes and in came Mark
'Get me the number you have been using to contact him...'' Said Ishita and Rinky obliged
'Hey... Take this back to the Alt and track it... Secretively ... You have about 6 hours to assess the situation and get back to me. And hey ...'' Ishita added and Mark completed
'Don't worry, I will be careful...''
'Thank you...'' Said Ishita
'What is the situation?'' Said Mark
'This idiot got her parents kidnapped...'' Said Ishita as she turned to Rinky
'I am sorry...'' Said Rinky teary
'Right... I will get on that... is there something we need to be conscious of...'' Said Mark
'I think someone in her family is in on it...' Said Ishita
'It can't be...'' Said Rinky
'Your siblings keep an eye on her like a hawk and I don't believe they didn't know what you were doing. One of them should have known or at least someone close to them should have had an idea...'' Said Ishita
'Oh so I should...'' Said Mark
'Look into that as well...'' Said Ishita and Mark turned walking out
'So what now...'' Said Rinky
'Oh don't worry they are the best in the business. They will find your parents, am not sure I can save you from your brother...'' Said Ishita Cleary meaning Raman
'Please do not tell him...'' Said Rinky but Ishita just turned to walking away but in came Aditya and Ruhi as Raman ran after them
'Adi... Wait...'' He said but Aditya was just standing there staring at Ishita like he was seeing her for the first time
'Hey grumpy...'' Said Ishita smiling but the he just stayed looking at her
'Ishim...'' Ruhi said as she came forward but Aditya held her hand something that didn't go unnoticed by Ishita
'How have you been'' She asked as she came forward to them but they instead took a step back
'Papa... Why is she here...'' Said Aditya completely disregarding Ishita
'Uhh Rinky Auntie needed her help...'' Said Raman as he stepped forward looking at his son
'Are you alright...'' He added
'But Simmi Auntie said she is the reason Rinky is in here...'' Said Aditya looking at Ishita
'Simmi what...'' Said Raman

CHAPTER TWENTY SIX
'I don't want her here... Please go away...'' Said Aditya
'Adi... Behave...'' Said Raman
'It is fine... We were done anyway...'' Said Ishita who was slightly hurt as she turned looking at Simmi who had just walked in, before she walked out
'Hey champ... What is with the attitude...'' Said Rinky who was trying to not only hide her pain but also her fear
'I don't like her...'' Said Aditya
'Since when...'' Said Rinky surprised
'Rinky... Are you okay...'' Said Ruhi as she came forward changing topics
'Of course... Just a small accident... I will be fine...'' Said Rinky
Does it hurt...'' Adi asked
'Hang on... Do not change topics... Why don't you all of a sudden like your beloved nanny...'' Rinky insisted
'Because she isn't a good person... You are here because of her... Simmi aunty told me... And ...'' Aditya began but turned to look at his father then kept quiet
'Come on, what is it'' Said Raman
'She is the reason you forgot Mom...'' Said Aditya teary
'What...'' Said Raman taken back
'You promised us that you wouldn't but you did...'' Said Ruhi
'That is not true...'' Said Raman a bit surprised
'It is true... Don't lie... You even spend all your time with her now and not with us...'' Said Aditya teary
'That isn't...'' Said Raman
'When was the last time you shared a meal with us? When was the last time you talked to us about mom, it is like she didn't even exist...'' Said Aditya
'Where is this coming from...'' Said Raman
'It is fine Papa... I am used to it...'' Said Aditya ignoring his father as he turned to Rinky
'Am sorry about your leg...'' He said
Raman was shocked to his wits and he couldn't quite understand where this was all coming from. He thought he and his kids were in a good place. So this was not only news to him, it was shocking and he wanted to get to the bottom of it
'Adi...'' He said but Rinky cut him off
'Raman... Allow me...'' She said and he sensed she was asking him to give them time
He looked at his son who was clearly hurting and his teary daughter and he became angry with himself. He turned around and walked out meeting Ishita in the corridor who was talking to Priya and for whatever reason he became angry. He got to where they were but Ishita began walking away
'Ishita... Hold on...'' He said and Ishita turned
'So... What is it...'' He asked and Ishita looked at him for a second before she said
'I can't tell you...''
'What do you mean'' He said
'I am asking you to trust me Raman... You are going to have to somehow believe that I may know what I am doing once in a while...'' Said Ishita
'Ishita... This is not one of your games, this is my sister we are talking about'' Said Raman frustrated
'You know what Raman; I am sick and tired of you people blaming me for whatever happens to your family. You want to go find out what happened, ask her...And in case you forgot, she asked for me, not the other way round'' Said Ishita angrily
'You do to get to snap at me...'' He yelled something that startled Ishita causing her to step back
'You tell me right now what the hell is going on...'' He added
'Raman... Calm down, this won't help...'' Said Romi had made his way to where they were with Mihika
'You stay out of this, this is between me and her...'' Said Raman angrily
Ishita looked at him and just kept quiet because she could tell he was angry and worried for his sister. He wanted to tell him but she also knew that in order for her to start throwing accusations around, she needed proof.
'You will allow me to leave if you need my help with your sister...'' Said Ishita
'YOU...'' Yelled Raman before he held his tongue taking a deep breath as he added
'You are the reason my sister is in this place...''
'How is that her fault...'' Said Priya
'Raman maybe...'' Romi tried to calm him down because he knew his impulsive nature was going to get him into trouble
'I shouldn't have brought you into our lives, I shouldn't have done anything with you... this is God punishing me trying to forget Shagun... You are my punishment...'' He said
'Excuse me... said a shocked and hurt Ishita
'Ever since you walked into my life, only bad things seem to happen... Simmi was right... now look where we are...My kids are...'' Said Raman distraught
'You are upset... So I will understand and let that slide but you are trading on lines you and I can never come back from'' Said a very hurt and a very teary Ishita
'Whatever Ishita I do not care... I just want to know what you have on my sister...'' He said
'I don't have anything...'' Said Ishita frustrated
'You know what... Get out Ishita... And don't come back...'' said Raman and Ishita completely shattered couldn't believe it
'Raman... The doctor wants to see you...'' Said Simmi who had walked in with Pratik and Raman walked away
'What the actual f**k...'' Said Ishita teary
'Am sorry about this, I know you are only trying to help...'' Said Romi
'Why are you sorry? It is about time...'' Said Simmi
'You don't have to be a bitch...'' Said Priya
'Priya not the place...'' Said Pratik
'Whatever... You f**k off...'' Said Priya turning as she said
'Ishu... Let us go...''
'Ishita... Please... I know that this is not even your place and you have no obligation what so ever but I am begging please...'' Romi began
Ishita looked at him and turned looking at Mihika and said
'I know... I am going to make it right...After that, I am so done with you people'' Said Ishita looking at him and she could see he was still worried
'6 Hours...'' She added
'What...'' He said
'Six hours... I will have an answer for you in 6 hours...'' Said Ishita and Romi sighed in relief
'Ishu...'' Said Mihika
'Thank you...'' She added and Ishita walked away
***********************************
SIX HOURS LATER
Aditya and Ruhi had been telling Rinky about their recitals and how they were excited about them. Rinky saw all this as a welcome destruction as it meant it kept her mind off of so many things that were going wrong outside that room.
Raman walked back in sitting in the corner of the room as he watched his kids talk nonstop to Rinky who seemed like she was exhausted and worried at the same time. The police were outside and they had refused to go away even against Simmi's insistence.
Looked like the Alt had pressed charges and Raman knew, this had Ishita written all over it. Romi had just gotten back with Mihika with some clothes and other personal items Rinky may have needed. Raman and Simmi were pissed alright about anything the Alt related but Romi wasn't going to allow them talk to or treat Mihika like she was trash so they just kept their opinions to themselves.
'Excuse me...'' A nurse walked in causing them to turn
'Yeah you need to leave and allow her to rest...'' She added
'Alright... Come on kids...'' Said Raman
Ruhi and Aditya said their goodbyes and they all walked out leaving Simmi in there. Raman who had a lot on his mind couldn't help but notice something was royally off with his children. He wanted to make things right
'Adi... Wait...'' Said Raman and Aditya turned as well as Ruhi
'What is going on with you? Come on talk to me...'' He asked
'Nothing is wrong Papa...'' Said Aditya innocently
'If there is anything the matter, you know you can tell me...'' Said Raman
'Papa... Am fine ...'' Said Aditya
'Three weeks ago you were fine. We were more than fine, you even wanted me to bring Ishita over and talk her into staying at the house, now all of a sudden you hate her and you have these misconceptions... '' Said Raman
'Oh... So this is about nanny... Not me and Ruhi...'' He snapped
'Hang on... That is not what I mean'' Said Raman
'Papa... I just do not like nanny. She is not a good person. I thought she was but I was wrong'' Said Aditya
'What do you mean by that, I don't understand...'' Said Raman confused and Aditya turned to his sister before he said
'She is the reason that...'' But before he could finish
'Get out... Right now I need you to get out...'' Rinky yelled and Raman turned, causing that conversation to come to a halt as well
He turned and ran back inside only to find Rinky completely upset with Simmi who was standing at the edge of the bed with tears in her eyes
What is it now'' Raman asked
'Tell her to leave me alone... I want to rest'' Said Rinky angrily
'What happened...'' Said Raman
'I have no idea...'' Said Romi
'What do you mean you were in the room with her'' Said Raman
'Nothing happened... She is just being melodramatic...'' Simmi answered hurriedly
'Shhsss... You guys need to keep it down... This is a hospital...'' Said Mihika
'Why are you so angry?'' Said Romi as he walked over to Rinky
'Am not... I am just...'' She said frustrated that she couldn't just walk out of that room
'Hey Rinky...'' Said Mihika politely
'What is she doing here? Why are you here? To just cause ...'' Simmi began
'Oh Simmi please...'' Said Romi in Mihika's defense
'Mihika... Have you heard from Ishita...'' Said a worried Rinky
'Uhhh Yeah... ' Said Mihika
'Did she say anything...'' Asked Rinky
'She is actually on her way here... She should be coming in any minute'' Said Mihika
'That is why you're in here...'' Said Rinky but Mihika just kept quiet
