Here is the next part. I'm not good at it but I tried my best to elaborate the scenes and express emotions which the characters underwent. This my first ever trial on something mysterious.... Hope you like it.
==============================
~Part - 2 : A shocking revelation~
Yogi stays back in haweli in order to ensure safety of kids and also to look around in Rewari in case he finds any lead regarding Purvi's whereabouts. He collaborates with Police and requests them to check all the empty buildings/cottages/warehouses in Rewari and it's outskirts. He himself is out with some of his men to look closely into the matter. He is once again shamed by his own wife, whose absence inferred her involvement in purvi's abduction.
Vir's sister had a tough time in consoling kids. But very patiently and wisely she makes them understand that their Baba will get their mom back at all costs. At first, Kids were a bit apprehensive about her because they were petrified by Anjali's rudeness. But then, Vir's sis embraced them and made them believe that she won't hurt them like others in the absence of their parents. Once kids were comforted, they start praying from Kanha ji that their haathi returns to them soon....❤️ [nothing is parallel to the loving bond of child and parents]
Meanwhile, Vir reaches the godown of sakshi mill. MS, Priyu, Sudha and 4-5 men of Vir are accompanying him.
Sudha - Mukhi ji, un logo ne Purvi ko yhi kaid kar rakha tha. Par jaise hi hum aur police yha aye, wo use yha se kahi aur le gye.
Vir's face is hard like a stone. A tumult of emotions was creating havoc inside him. Internally he was going mad with desperation of locating Purvi.
MS - Dhairya rakh Vir, aise hadbadi me tu sahi faisla naa kar pawega. Purvi ko dhundne me hum sab pura zor lga dege, hausla rakh.
Vir - hmm (he nodded).
All agree and start looking around. Priyu found broken bangles of Purvi near a window. There were blood stains on the ground and on the window sill. She recognises them to be purvi's and concludes that she is injured. Mukhi gets more uneasy on knowing this, his bawri isn't safe and sound. Something disturbing strikes his mind just then - Vir calls the manager of the mill and asks if there was any malfunctioning there in past 4 days. A bolt from the blue hits him hard when he hears a "NO". It meant that prakashi and anjali have lied. There was no emergency here. They came to the mill because they knew Purvi was kept here. He was visibly shaken - his own mother was behind purvi's abduction.
Vir - ab tak mile saare saboot to yhi kawe hai ki in sabke piche maa.....!! (He holds back his tears, his voice becoming heavy).
MS - naa Viren... Itni jaldi nateeje pe naa pahoch kya pata sach kuch aur ho. [He assured Vir, although he himself was taken aback.]
It wasn't that MS was trying to defend his sister, but he wanted a solid conclusion to be drawn out of the facts, leaving no chance for any misconception.
Their motive of probing the mill wasn't yet accomplished -- unfortunately, they are still not able to trace Purvi's current location.
"What could be the intention behind her abduction?" was a question that rang in everyone's heads. Either someone is seeking vengeance from her or she is being used as a bait to oblige Vir into doing something which otherwise he would never agree to. In any of the two cases, taking her away would mean reduced control over the situation. Greater possibility was that she must be kept somewhere nearby - a place where no one would imagine.
Vir - "Bawri kahi aas paas hi hai. Kyoki agar use maarna ya yha se durr le jana maksad hota to wo log kabka le jaa chuke hote. Par wo use yha sakshi mill leke aye ....matlab ..."
Sudha - "matlab wo Purvi ka istemal karna chahte hai... "
MS - fir to hume turant Rewari chalna chaiye aur police se kehke border seal kr deni chaiye... taki agar wo log bhagna chahe to pakde jaye.
Back in Rewari... Yogi had put all efforts. He searched each vacant place in Rewari but found nothing. Yogi stood blank, thinking deeply "Koi aisi jagah jiske baare me kisi ko andaaza bhi na ho.... " Chills ran through his spine ....!!
"Puri Rewari me aisi ek hi jagah bachi hai jaha humne nhi dekha... Aur us jagah par shayd kisi ka dhyan jaayga bhi nhi ......KHANDAHAR "
Yogi immediately called Vir - "Bhaiya humne har jagah achhe se dhunda par kuch nhi mila. Bas ek jagah bachi hai aur mujhe shaq hai ki ......." He becomes hysterical.
Vir - kaun si jagah ???
Y - KHANDAHAR
Vir's eyes widen. He has not expected to hear this. The place which was abandoned years ago because of ...................!!! It was a dark secret who hardly a few know. Vir has never imagined that life would take such a turn and pull him back to the web of misfortunes from where he thought he had escaped forever. He never wished to return to that place ever in his life but if Purvi was there, he will once again have to face the most horrifying part of his life. The gloomy place is awaiting to swallow his happiness yet again.
Vir - tu vhi theher. Hum bas thodi der me pahoch rhe hai fir jayge .......vha [he dint wish to take the evil name]

MS - Vir... Wo manhoos jagah kahi firse humari sukh shanti na chheen ......!!
Vir - naa MS. Is baar mai apne sansaar me aag na lagne dugaa.... [He remembers a past event... A harsh, depressing and heartbreaking reality of his. There is a fear on his face which he tries to overpower.]
Sudha and priyu are confused as to why they reacted so hysterically when it came to KHANDAHAR. They prefer to keep silent for adding to their agony wasn't a good choice.
They soon reach haweli. Yogi is waiting for them at the door. In their eyes is a terror. Vir takes everyone inside, to his study.
Vir - hum sab aise vha nhi jaa sakte. Purvi unki kaid me hai aur ho sake hai hume dekh ke wo use nuksan pahuchane ki koshish kre...
Sudha - haa Mukhi ji, aur agar unhe pta chal gya ki hum vha aa rhe hai to ho sakta wo Purvi ko yha se bhi kahi aur leke chale jaye
Yogi - hume kuch plan karna padega. Hume police se madad......
Vir interrupts. " Naaa...!! Vha mai akela jauga.."
MS - ye tu key keh rha hai Viren. Kahi wo tujhe bhi nuksaan na pahucha dewe. Aur fir tu......
Vir - meri baat samjho MS. Mai akela jauga to unhe pakde jaane ka darr na hoga aur isse Purvi ko kuch na krege wo.
MS - to tu hi kyo jawega? Apne kisi aadmi ko kyo na bhej sake hai tu?? Teri jaan ki keemat bhi pata hai tujhe ?
Vir - mere pariwar ki suraksha se jyada keemat naa hai meri. Mera jaana jaruri hai --- kyoki manne laage hai ki is sab ke piche jarur koi maksad hai, jo mere jaane se hi samne awega. Aur pati hun mai uska, mera dharam hai uski raksha karna... Mai piche naa hatuga.
MS - mujhe garv hai tujhpe.... ateeth me itna kuch hone ke baad bhi tu vha akele jaane ki himmat rakhe hai.. shabbasshhh!! [He patted Vir's shoulder in assurance]
Yogi - bhaiya... Mujhe vachan dijiye ki ap aur bhabhi sahi salamat laut ke ayge [he hugs his elder brother]
Vir hugs him back and promises. He goes to his painting room to prepare himself for the uphill task. It was a place which always proved to be a shelter for him. "Manne bhot savdhani se andar jaana hoga bina kisi ki nazaro me aye taki mai jaan saku akhir iske piche hai kaun. Chup kar vha daakhil hona zara mushkil hoga par tere lie mai kuch bhi karuga bawri." He closes his eyes remembering Purvi. He sees her smiling, her eyes full of life and her lips calling him..... He regains some strength and gets up to accomplish his task.

Inside the khandahar :
It wasn't pitch dark inside because of the few beams of sunlight which managed to enter the sombre place. The walls are cracked, ashen and seemed like they were devastated by a huge raging fire at some time. The place was unkempt and poorly maintained but it's architecture resembled that once it must have been a royal and lavish inhabited place.
Yogi's assumption was right. Purvi is held captive in the abandoned mansion. She is being tremendously tortured. Her feet are cuffed with shackles whose other end is attached to a pillar. She was starving from last 5 days -- no food was given to her, not even a mouthful of water. She became feeble and so fatigued that attempting to escape is nothing more than a dream to her. She has number of wounds because of which she has already lost a good amount of blood. Her hands are free but she lacks strength to use them anymore. She lies there, breathing shortly, feeling dizzy and only partially conscious.
Just then someone enters -- A lady, petite, plump and dressed in BLACK, complete black. Only her shadow was visible, for no light fell on her face. She is followed by two men and another women. She speaks, a voice which Purvi founds familiar but is unable to recognise because she is not in her complete senses "Is Molkki ka marna tay hai par iski maut itni asaan na hogi, ise aur tadapna hoga waise hi jaise saalo pehle...... (She goes silent and then continued after few moments) humari manzil tak pahochane ka zariya hai yo (she grins)." She is happy to see Purvi in this condition and leaves. Only the 2 men are left behind.
One of them - "ab to ye itni kamzor ho chuki hai ki yha se bhagne ka soch bhi nhi sakti."
2nd - aur ise bachane yha koi nhi aane wala. Challll.....!!
And both of them leave her alone. Purvi is terrorised not because she fears death, but she is sure something from the family is involved in this and in this situation her loving family is in danger. Her only wish is to safeguard them. She prays - kanha ji humare pariwar ke lie hume kaise bhi yha se bahar nikalna hoga.. humari madad kijiye"
It seems as if God is all ears to her. Soon Vir attempts to sneak into the mansion, carefully. As the goons were busy entertaining themselves, away from the place where Purvi was captured, there was no chance Vir could be seen. Vir walks in technically, his senses interpreting every signal they perceived.
But there was something strange.... He dint need to look around or wander to find a way --- it suggested that he was familiar with the map of khandahar.... the question is HOW?? Why he feared to admit the fact? What was that he was hiding since long ?
He reaches where Purvi is lying. He trembles on seeing her condition. His heart stops beating -- the one person whom he wished to give only comfort was baring so much of trouble. He is agonised and guilty at the same time. He whispers her name with lot of concern, love, fear and .....PAIN 💔
To be continued....!!
