OS type musings on the future track..._part 6 updt - Page 5

He called his di to update her about the situation and just to check on a chance that the creep was lurking around the house...but that too turned out to be unfruitful...

He called the commissioner of police and updated him on the situation as quickly as possible..he had no idea where to start searching...his heart was filled with dread and in spite of willing himself not to think of anything negative he couldn't help himself when vivid and horrific images of Khushi were just popping in his mind...tears of frustration and anger in his eyes he got in his car and drove in the general direction pointed out by the beggar...he peeled his eyes to look around for clues but found nothing he kept going hoping for some sort of indication or sign...a trace of khushi's belonging anything which could lead him further but nothing...he stopped his car in anguish and banged his hands in frustration on the steering wheel...think think think he ordered his brain...but it couldn't come up with any ideas or clues to support him...just then his phone rang ...Aman was on call...he cut the call in frustration...cursing him for always calling on the wrong time...suddenly his eyes lit up and an idea struck his mind...so this time Aman's call was actually on the right time...he called a friend in a high profile position, gave him a quick summary of the emergency and asked him to trace shyams GPS signal to point out his position to him ...within a few minutes Arnav received the required address...it was not far from where he stood and realized that the ba---rd was using one of ASR group's old warehouses to hold khushi hostage, he drove as fast as he could and at the same time updated the commissioner...who promised immediate action by the police force...

Arnav reached there in record time and proceeded with caution towards the old warehouse building...he peeked inside from one of the grimy old window and tried to assess  the situation...he could not see anything...neither khushi nor shyam...he walked around to the other side where he spotted the van that had been used to kidnap his wife...he looked from the other side and could make out the shadow of two men moving towards the entrance of the building ...he flattened himself against the wall and let them pass...he saw then climb in the van and leave  the premises...he quickly memorized the vans registration no and texted it to the police. He then peeked inside again and couldn't see anyone...quietly moving towards the entrance he finally entered the building and cautiously crept inside to find his wife...but where was she...then he saw a door under which a light was shining through he moved towards there and could hear the voices from inside "Khushiji dekha aap ne hamari mohabbat ki taqat...hum aap ko le hi aaye na...bas abhi thori der main pandit ji aayen ge aur hamari shaadi kerwaden ge"..."pagal hogayen hain aap shyam ji...hum aap se kabhi bhi shaadi nahin keren ge...hum Arnav ji ki patni hain...aap hum se shaadi ker hi nahin sakte..yeh qanoon ke khilaaf hai"..."lo saale sb kiya kerlen ge...raani sahiba ki to shayed bhagwaan se unki bhakti bacha gayi  magar saale sb ko kaun bacahye ga...un ka accident hojaye ga aur woh seedha ooper...phir aap bechari widhwa hojayen gi to hum aap ka haath thaamen ge khushi ji...hum aap ko sahar den ge"..."Agar Arnav ji ka aik baal ko bhi khrash aayi na Shyam ji to hum aap ki jaan lelen ge...duur rahiye hum se" Arnav crashed open the door and the sight that greeted him filled his mind with a rage he had not known before...he charged at shyam who was hovering over HIS khushi...and poor khushi was sat on the floor with her hands and feet tied with a thick rope...he punched shyam right in the center of his face and with his first blow broke his feeble nose...blood gushing down his face shyam tried to fight back but he was no match for the lion in anger...another punch to the right of his face made him fall flat on his back...Shyam was trying to catch hold of his breath which was probably stuck because a tooth or two might have got lose and lodged in his throat...Arnav rushed to untie khushi and pulled her to her feet...she screamed as she saw shyam get up and charge towards Arnav like a staggering dog with a death wish...Arnav turned around and clipped a hook under his jaw which sent him flying backward and sprawling on his back...just then the police arrived and Arnav pointed them to Shyam and started walking off with khushi's arm tightly held in his palm...the police wanted to question Khushi but he fended them off and said later they could come home and do the formalities...he pulled her outside of the were house and propelled her towards the car..."aap humain dhakka kiyun de rahe hian...hum ne thori kaha tha shyam ji ko hamain kidnap kerne ko"...she stated with tears in her eyes...Arnav stopped and looked at her and then with all the force of his pent up emotions he crushed her to him and hugged her tightly...as if he will never let go...khushi finally understanding his anguish curved her arms around his neck and hugged him back with equal fervour...she cried her heart out and he let her cry as much as she wanted because he himself could not stop the tears making way down his cheeks...he kissed her head and then they both said at the same time..."Sorry...for not trusting you"..."hamain aap ko shyam ji ki sachai pehle hi bata deni chaiye thi"..."mujhe tumhari baat per bharosa kerna chaiye tha"...they looked at each other with tear filled eyes and smiled and finally Arnav swooped down and caught her lips in a fiery kiss to mark his brand on his lady love.
