" Chikki why didn't you stop him from going?," Manyata declared as the girls walked around looking for Akash in vain.
Manyata had wanted the girls to bring Akash to the sambar place but then they called her and told her Akash was going on a trip with some friends. They had tried to stop him before he left but they ended up being too late since they were waiting for Manyata to come there.
" The whole surprise got ruined now. No birthday boy," Manyata declared.
"Monia I am sorry," Chikki said.
"Now nothing can be done about it," Soni said dejectedly.
" Yes you are right. I really tried hard to get the funds for the party. Ab kya karen?"
"Wait you told Unnati to reach there we should tell her to go home. There will be no party now," Soni said.
Manyata sighed as she dialed Unnati's cell.
Unnati picked up but frowned at what she heard.
She heard shrieks and some male voices threatening the girls. Suddenly the line went dead. She looked at her phone in alarm. Unnati rushed to the sambar place but the girls weren't there.
Meanwhile the girls had been grabbed by some goons and thrown in a van.
All the girls were afraid but Manyata knew she had to at least be brave. She scrambled around to look where her phone had fallen. It was a few inches away. She tucked it under herself before the guy guarding them turned to face them.
"Kya kari thi tum ladki?," he roared.
She made a face at him.
"Tum se kya? Why did you take us?," she yelled.
"Tum saab raj mahal mein kaam karti ho. We have something planned for you," he hissed.
"Haha hum kahin rajmahal mein kaam nahin karte," Chikki declared.
Soni shushed her and smiled at the guy who was staring daggers at them.
"She means she doesn't. Monia and I do," Soni stated.
" Bolo kya kaam hai?,"Manyata inquired.
"Humhein Rajkumari Manyata chaiye hai," the man declared.
Unnati grew worried when Manyata wouldn't return her calls. She dialed Udayveer.
" Dada please pick up the phone," she muttered.
After a few rings, he picked up.
"Kahan ho tum Chutki? I haven't really seen you around the past few days. Are you with Manyata and her chawl friends?," he inquired.
He was planning to find them and crash whatever they were planning.
"Dada kuch theek nahin hai. I think Manyata is missing,"Unnati declared.
She quickly told him what she overheard.
"I am sorry Dada we shouldn't have planned anything like this. I just wanted her to start changing. I thought this was the only way," his sister cried.
" Relax Unnati. Manyata is not scared of anything she will be fine. Why don't you come home and then we will igure out how serious this all really is," he assured her.
Unnati agreed to meet him at home. She was very tensed. She knew Manyata would be upset with her for telling Udayveer the truth, but safety came first. Right now something didn't seem right.
The three girls were tied up in vacant room on the outskirts of the city. Three goons paced around.
"So you mean to tell me one of you is Rajkumari Manyata?," he inquired.
"Haan Nain Toh. I guess you haven't seen media coverage. Rajkumari Manyata dressed like a regular girl. I honestly think the real Manyata is out there someplace. They just wanted one of us to be her for awhile. That rajkumar Udayveer made a mistake," Manyata stated.
"Abhi bolo kaun hai Rajkumari Manyata?," the head goon demanded.
"Main hoon," Chikki declared.
The other two glared at her shocked.
He glared at the three girls.
"Jaldi saach batao. Who is the real rajkumari?," he demanded.
"Yeh toh koi nahin janta. She has been missing for sixteen years," Manyata declared with a slight smile.
The man leered at her.
"Do you know who I am? I am Guddu Bhai. If you keep this act up you won't get to see your families again, all three of you. I'll give you an hour to tell me who the rajkumari is. If not I'll kill you all and then go after your families," he declared.
The girls exchanged wide eyed looks.
One man remained in the distance drinking them and watching them throughout the hour.
Manyata turned to her friends.
"I should tell them it's me," she whispered.
"Monia pehle let's try to get out of these ropes. We can handle that one drunk loser," Soni said.
" Tum theek bolo re ho," Manyata declared.
Udayveer got off the phone with a grave expression.
"Someone witnessed what happened to the girls. They told my men that the three girls tried to fight them but were taken away by force. You were right Unnati, Manyata is in trouble."
"Dada hum unko kaise dhondenge?" ( How will we find them?)
Udayveer looked firm.
" I have had her phone's gps turned on. That should give us a clue," he declared.
Manyata and her friends worked on the ropes, they were able to loosen them, they slowly made their move to get up. The guy was startled to see the girls had startled them. Chikki grabbed his bottle and knocked him on the head with it. The other two men came back hearing the commotion. They tried to grab the girls, but they were able to push past them and run. Manyata found her cell phone and quickly picked it up right before the men tried to grab her again, she gave one a big shove and he bumped heads with the other one.
Her friends urged her on.
It was now midnight and everyone was gathered in the hall. They were worried about Manyata. Udayveer told them the girls were going to celebrate Chikki's birthday but never showed at the venue so Unnati had called him.
Jai Nandini smiled at his words.
"Udayveer are you serious? Jiji was going out for a girls night today? If that were true then why did she go without protection?," she inquired.
Udayveer knew what J Nandini was getting at but gave her a stern glance.
"Jo bhi ho. The reality is right now we don't know where she is. I should be getting a report about her cell phone location soon. Hopefully she still has it," Udayveer told the family.
"Meri baachi kisse hal mein hogi," Komal lamented.
"Auntie don't be upset. I am sure Manyata will be found by morning," Udayveer assured her.
Brijraj was trying to stay calm.
" Uday beta, I cannot bear to see Komal and Masab like this. Manyata will not go out alone after today," he declared.
Dadisa nodded her agreement.
"I just want her safe and back with us," she declared.
Meanwhile the girls had separated. Manyata got near the main road. She wandered around for awhile before a truck stopped. She peered up and smiled. It was the truck driver who had helped her when she wanted to go see Murari in jail.
"Aap yahaan?," she inquired.
"Arre oh beta. Phirse alkeli? Should I drop you someplace?," he asked.
"Thank-you jee! I am so tired. These goons have been chasing me all night," she exclaimed.
" Jaldi aajo beta," he urged her. She climbed up and sat down.
" Thank-you uncle jee," she said.
He smiled and sped off.
She asked him to drop her off a kilometer away from the rajmahal. He obliged and told her to stay out of trouble.
" Thank-you jee. Safe journey jee," she called out.
" Rab rakha beta," he replied before driving off.
Udayveer got a call telling him her cell was now being tracked to one kilometer from the palace and it was moving in.
Udayveer was surprised.
" I'll be right back everyone. Manyata's phone has been traced close to here," he stated.
However as he was about to step out, Manyata arrived back in rajmahal. Everyone looked shocked at her entry. She was breathing heavily.
"Manyata beta kahan thi tum?," Brijraj inquired.
"Manyata!," Komal cried.
" You are home very late Manyata. Aap theek toh hain?," Dadisa inquired.
Udayveer noticed the cut on her lip and noticed her breathing was erratic. She gazed around at everyone before feeling weak and then her eyes began to close. Udayveer was able to grab her before she fell. He picked her up in his arms and Dadisa told him to lay her on the sofa.
Everyone surrounded her. Doctor Saab was called. Manyata regained some senses and Udayveer took a glass of water that Unnati had brought for her.
He helped her sit up. Unnati helped support her as Udayveer made her drink some water.
He moved aside as Doctor Saab came to assess her.
" Rajmata let's take her to her room. I need to do a full assessment. She looks very weak," he stated.
Udayveer picked her up again despite her weak protests.
"Aap humari baat manegi," he hissed as he held her firmly. He placed her on the bed and went to wait outside.
Doctor Saab checked her sugar and blood pressure. Manyata told him in brief what happened but laughed as she told him how she got away. She asked him to let everyone in the room, she wanted to apologize for bad behavior in the past and promise to follow the rules better.
He smiled at her and patted her cheek.
" Theek hai beta," he said before going outside and letting everyone they could go in.
" I am sorry everyone for all the stupid things I have done in the past. I hope you all can forgive me," she said holding her ear.
Komal took her hand and patted her head. Dadisa sat on the other side of her.
" Beta right now we are glad you are safe. Today you saved not just yourself and your friends but the respect and safety of two families. Please after today you will not go anywhere without protection," Dadisa stated.
" I promise Dadisa," Manyata said.
She turned to Unnati.
"Unnati you will always be my best friend. Today I must have gotten you worried. I promise that if you forgive me I'll do what you want for a whole day," Manyata declared.
Unnati almost cried but hugged her quickly and stood back.
"Theek hai. When you feel better we will dress you up and make you look like a princess. Then we all will go on a picnic together," Unnati declared.
Manyata squeezed her hand in affirmation. Everyone took turns hugging her and told her to take care of herself.
Udayveer and Unnati left but Udayveer came to see her the next morning. He found her with her mother.
"Aunty hum thori dhere ke liye..," he trailed off.
Komal smiled at him and left the room.
Manyata looked at him then looked away.
She was scared of what he might do since he knew the truth now.
" Dekho Udayveer I understand what I did was wrong ab tum..," she trailed off.
He sat down in front of her. Her breath caught in her throat. He caressed her cheeks. He traced a finger on her cut up lip.
" Tum theek to ho princess," he inquired.
She was startled at how composed he was.
He stroked her hair.
"Manyata if you can describe who hurt you I'll make sure they don't see the sun tomorrow!," he growled.
She put a hand on his. She realized what he must be thinking. He was afraid they had touched her the wrong way.
"Besides for them throwing us in a van and then tying us up nothing else happened Udayveer," she stated as she tried to get up.
He grabbed her by the arms and made her sit down.
"Manyata no lies or games. It is my duty to protect you," he declared.
She frowned.
" I can protect myself," she replied.
He rolled his eyes.
" Just tell me the truth from now on Manyata," he said.
She got up this time and turned to look at him. He gazed back at her.
" Aise mujhe mat dekho," she declared.
