Sunday.
"Purvi please chal na." Sneha begged her as Purvi listen her on the other side of the phone.
"Mera bilkul maan nahi hai. Tum or Vikas jao." Purvi try to convince her but Sneha was done with her staying at home all the time.
"Nahi. Tum bhi humare sath chalogi aur yeh final hai. Ready ho jao hum aarahe hain tumhe pick karne." Sneha cut the call before Purvi could protest. Purvi sigh and rolled out of her bed to get ready.
Purvi walk in the bathroom, to take a quick shower. She change her cloths into a pair of black jeans and white floral print top that came up a little above her knees. She grabbed her brown bag and slipped on her converse before she went downstairs in living room to wait for her friends.
After a few minutes, she get a message from Vikas telling her to come out. Purvi bid her goodbyes to her Anand who joined her in living room a while ago before walking out. She was relief when she convince Anand to drop the idea of guard being around her as she didn't like and it will get more attention from everyone, including their business clients and enemies.
"I feel like I am going to be the third wheel between you guys." Purvi says as she sat in the car and look forward only to frown in confusion.
"What?" Sneha asked Purvi when she suddenly get quiet.
"Tum drive kyun kar rahi ho?" Purvi asked her and look at Vikas but he just shurgged.
"Kyun main kyun nahi kar sakhti drive?" Sneha glared at her and Vikas as he laugh lightly at her question.
"Kyun ke mera hospital jane ka koi plan nahi hai filhal." Purvi says seriously. Vikas now laugh out loud at Purvi comment and give her high five.
"How mean. Ab tou main hi drive karungi." Sneha says, taking away their laugh, and look forward. Vikas and Purvi look at her.
"Aye bhagwan hum par reham kijiye." Vikas prayed as Sneha started the car and glared at Vikas and Purvi when she agreed with him.
At Mall.
"Tou kesi rahi ride?" Sneha asked as she twirl the keys in her hand and laugh when her husband and her best friend glared at her.
"Ab tum drive nahi karogi." Vikas snatch the keys from her making her pout. She did actually drive fast to scare them but now she had to pay for it.
"Fine." Sneha mumbled and walk toward the enterance with Purvi and Vikas following her.
"So where should we go first." Vikas says as all three of them walk in mall.
"Dresses ki shop pe chalte hain pehle. Uske baad dekhein gaye." Purvi suggest making both of them nod. There is a big event coming up this weekend and they have to buy formal gowns for it.
They all walk in a store where the designer dresses are available. Sneha started to look through the dresses while Purvi stand back with Vikas looking at Sneha as she pass comments on the dresses she look at them.
"Yeh wala kesa hai?" Sneha look at Purvi and Vikas and held the dress up to them. It was a blue floor length dress with v neck and lining around the neck and was sleeve less.
"Acha hai. Try it out." Purvi says. Sneha nodded and walk up to the trail room to change.
Meanwhile, Purvi and Vikas started to talk about things happening in company and upcoming project. Vikas and Purvi turned when Sneha call them and look at her. Purvi nodded with a smile as she look her up and down. The dress looks beautiful on her and it hugged her curves perfectly.
"It is perfect for you." Purvi says and look at her right to Vikas when he didn't say anything. "Tum kuch nahi kahogaye?" Purvi shake him.
"You look breathtaking." Vikas says without notice what he was saying, getting a light glare but from Sneha but the deep blush on her cheeks cover it up. Purvi laugh seeing Vikas nervous look because she know Sneha is all about PDA. She didn't like holding hands and talking all romantic in public while Vikas is all opposite of her.
"Tum log chalo mein aati hoon." Purvi tells Sneha signing her something as they walk out of the store after paying for the dress. Sneha nodded and Purvi walk away from the group in the other direction.
On the other side of the mall, someone was shopping for a gift. Rajat walk around looking for the perfect thing to buy for his mother birthday which is in two days.
Rajat suddenly stop as a beautiful saare get his attention which was on the display. He take a step toward the glass door but someone ran into him. He look down and saw a dark spot on his beige pant from spilled coldrink in the small girl hand.
"I-I am sorry, Uncle." The girl apologize scaredly as she saw Rajat blank face. Rajat could feel the fear and nodded slowly with a small smile.
"Koi baat nahi. Liken aise bhago nahi warna apko chot lag gaye gi. Okay." Rajat says and saw as the girl nodded with a wide smile and walk back to her mother who was looking for her.
Rajaf eyes followed her as a woman hugged her and that little girl just look seeing her mother worried. Rajat sigh and walk away to wash the stain away eventhough he knew it is too late to even try it. Rajat turned in the corridor where the washrooms are and quickly hide behind the wall when he saw a man talking to his soon-to-be boss.
"Actually, meri wife andar gayi liken abhi tak nahi ayi bahar tou please kya aap check kar lein gi." Rajat heard the unknown man say to Purvi as he stand outside of the women washroom.
"Ok." Purvi nodded and went back inside the washroom to look for the woman. After checkibg all the doors, she came out.
"Andar koi nahi hai. Mujhe lagta hai apki wife chali gayi hain." Purvi tells the man, who quickly shake his head.
"Liken main tou kabse bahar khada hoon, woh bahar ayi hi nahi. Please aap phir se check kar lijiye." The man request her again. Purvi look at him and shake her head.
"Liken-" She was cut it off but the man.
"Please. Sirf ek baar." The man begged joining his hands in front of her. Purvi sigh and nodded.
Rajat hear the door open again and peak a little only to see the man looking at the men washroom for a second before walking behind Purvi in the women washroom. Rajat eyes wide as he saw the man entering held a gun behind his back. Rajat couldn't think of anything, he saw a gun and was paralized for a few minutes.
He look around for the security but didn't saw it and quickly walk though the small corridor and turn the knob of the door but it didn't open. Rajat try a few times but still couldn't open it. Rajat look at the door worriedly as he heard a scream but it was quickly silent.
In Washroom.
Purvi enter in washroom without know someone is behind her and check all door before turning to leave. She scream when suddenly as she saw the man, who begged her, standing behind her.
The man put his hand on her mouth to get her quiet. Purvi eyes widend when she saw the gun in his hand. Purvi was freeze for a few minutes before recovering herself as the man slowly remove his hand.
"Agar ek baar aur chilai na tou jaan se maar donga." The man hissed angrily. Purvi nodded and again her eyes went to the gun in his hand that was now on her forehead.
"M-maine k-kya kara hai. M-mujhe kyun m-marna chahte ho." Purvi asked him as she looking at the gun with fear in her eyes.
"Kisne kaha main tumhe marna chahta hoon?" The man laugh seeing her confused look. "Bhala, aisi cheez ko koi kabhi maar sakhta hain kya?" The man waved his gun up to her body. Purvi understand his intentions.
"Purvi." The man and Purvi eyes snapped toward the door when they heard a voice. Purvi feel her heart skips a beat when she recognize Rajat voice.
"Rajat." Purvi whisper and a unknown smile take oved her face but it didn't last long. Purvi screamed again when the man roughly hold her hairs and pushed her against the wall, face first.
Purvi groaned and turned her face away from the wall. She feels warm liquid running down to her temples. She bring her hand up and ran it on the liquid only to see blood. Purvi look at the door again when she again heard Rajat voice and suddenly she feels her training kicking in. She takes the advantage of the man distracted by the door.
Purvi kick on his toes causing him to groaned and losen his grip on her hair. Purvi quickly turned around and punch him right in the jaw sending him a few steps back. Purvi look as the man quickly point his gun at her as he holds his sore jaw.
Purvi use her quickness and dunk under his hand and kick his back roughly making him stumble forward into the wall where he smash Purvi face first. The gun fall from the man hand from the impact. The man bounce back off the wall and fall on the floor.
Purvi saw him reaching for the gun and quickly kick him between the legs taking the air out of his lungs and saw his face turning red and clutching the part where she kick. A sadist smirk pulled on Purvi face when she saw the man who was about to hurt her, getting himself hurt by her.
The banging of door caught her attention. She take a step away from the man and was about to walk away but the man had enough energy to pull her feets under her causing her to fall face first on the floor and the wound on her temple didn't help either and the blood now started to flow like a waterfall.
Purvi groaned turning on her back on the floor and saw red color filling in her eyes. Purvi's eyes started to drop and the last thing she heard was the door slamming against the wall and a worried Rajat running up to her and cradling her head in his hands before she blackout.
Rajat banging the door caught attention by some people walking around and Rajat quickly asked them to call security. While they come, a few men helped Rajat breaking down the door. After a few tries they successed in doing that. As the door slammed open, Rajat step inside and was shocked to see the sight in front of him. Rajat quickly ran up to Purvi and gently and carefully held her face in his face as she look at him.
"Rajat." Purvi whisper with a small smile before she got unconscious. Rajat quickly picked her up in his arms and carried her out. As he was about to leave, he saw Purvi friends running toward him.
"Y-yeh kya hua? P-Purvi." Sneha stutter. Vikas held her hands as she try to block Rajat.
"Is pe attack hua hai. Main issay hospital leke jaa raha hoon. Anand sir ko inform kardo aur ambulance ko bhi call karlo." Rajat told them. Vikas nodded pulling out his phone. Rajat walk away and Sneha followed him.
"Meri car parking mei hai. Ussi mei chalte hain. Jaldi pohanch jayen gaye." Sneha says and lead him in the parking. With no other choice Rajat did as she says and carefully lay Purvi on the backseat before getting in there as well.
"Seat belt laga lo." Sneha says. Rajat quickly put it on seeing seriousness in her eyes. Rajat eyes widened for the third time today as Sneha pulled on the road and speed off to the hospital cutting off everyone on her way.
10-15 minutes later, Sneha pulled in front of hospital. Rajat quickly pulled off his seat belt get out of the car with Purvi again in his arms. Rajat called for a stretcher. As Rajat lay her down on the given stretcher, Sneha stops a doctor and pulled her toward Purvi.
"Plese treat her doctor." Sneha says as the doctor check Purvi.
"Inka blood kafi zaya ho chuka hai. Humne abhi inko operation threather mein leke jana hoga aur khoon bhi charh wana hoga. Nurse." Doctor told them and called for a nurse to give her the instruction.
A few seconds later, they take Purvi away to get her operate. Rajat and Sneha sit on the bench outside of the room as they wait. Soon, Rajat saw Anand running toward them with Vikas behind him and stood up. Anand stop in front of Rajat with teary and worried eyes.
"P-Pari. K-kahan hai woh?" Anand asked. Rajat stay quiet and look at Sneha but she looks like she is going to be sick.
"Doctors ussay operation ke liye leke gaye hain aur uska blood bhi kafi lose ho chuka hai. Woh log usko blood charhaen gaye." Rajat told him. Anand stumble a little but Rajat quickly catch him and make him sit on his seat before kneeling in front of him.
"Aap chinta mat kijiye sir. Kuch nahi hoga apki beti ko." Rajat assure him. Anand look at him and nodded slowly. Rajat held his hand and squeeze it comfortablely. From the corner of his eyes, Rajat saw Vikas assuring a crying Sneha.
"Liken Pari pe hamla kia kisne?" Anand asked himself. Vikas look at Rajat then at Anand.
"Ussi insaan ne karwaya hai, Uncle." Vikas says. Anand look at him surprised. "Jisne hamla kia uske sath ambulance mei aya hoon mei. Ussi ne bataya hai. Uska asal plan Purvi ko kidnap karna tha. Liken woh fail hogaya."
"Matlab?" Sneha asked him confused. Anand look at Rajat with confusion.
"Matlab yeh ke Rajat ne bachaya hai Purvi ko." Vikas tell him what the attacker told him after he get a few more punches from Vikas. Anand put his hand on Rajat should and squeeze it gently.
"Thank you so much Rajat. Agar ajj tum na hote tou pata nahi kya hota aur woh log kahan le jate meri beti ko. Thank you." Anand thank him but Rajat quickly shake his head.
"Thank you nahi boliye sir. Yeh mera farz tha. Aap mere boss hain aur ajj tak jo kuch aapne mere liye kia hai uske aagaye yeh kuch bhi nahi hai." Rajat says. Anand sigh with a small smile and lean back on the wall closing his eyes as he prayed for his little princess health.
