"What is going on in your mind, Baby", Arjun asked her nuzzling his face in her neck.

"My assignments are still not completed", she mumbled with a pout making him smile at her innocence.

"You had an important meeting today, why are you here?", she asked him wearing her watch. She was getting late for college and he was acting like this with her.

"I was missing my wife", he spoke making her push him away lightly.

"This is not right, Ji. Your work shouldn't suffer because of us", she told him making him smile at her worry for his work.

"I am just kidding", he spoke leaning on the wall looking at her getting ready.

"The meeting got canceled and my wife had late classes at her college so I thought to drop her myself. And also because we have to attend a reception party today", he told her making her frown.

"Which reception party?", she asked him but he only smirked at her.

"Just a party I wanted to attend with my wife to show the world how proud I am to get you in my life", he spoke making her blush.

"But I have college till 4", she told him.

"So you don't take four hours to get ready, right?", he asked making her nod her head understanding his words.

"We have to leave till 8. It will be fine. Take your time. Complete your work before going. It's the first time we are going out as a couple, and I want you to remember it forever", he spoke coming closer to her kissing her forehead making her smile shyly at his words.

They entered inside the huge hotel where the reception party was going to take place. She felt uncomfortable in the high-class crowd where everybody was dressed in so expensive clothes.

Women were busy talking about each other's branded clothes and jewelry while men were busy talking about business and how the host of the party chose to marry a teacher rather than going for the daughter of some rich businessman. She also heard these things and now she felt sad for the bride and somehow felt herself to be odd in this group.

"You look beautiful", Arjun spoke feeling the discomfort felt by his wife at the moment.

"Don't you think we are early", she asked looking at him whose eyes were searching for somebody in the crowd.

"No, we aren't", he spoke still not looking at her.

"From whose side are we from. Groom or bride", she asked making him look at her. She knew he was from the groom's side, or how else will he know the bride.

"Bride", he stated making her frown.

"How?", she asked as he shook his head.

"Please don't speak anything for sometimes Tara", he spoke making her frown. He never calls her Tara if he was in good mood. Either he was angry or worried but why would he be worried or even if he is angry, what could be the reason, she wondered.

Just then soft music started playing as a young girl dressed in a green lehenga walked down the majestic stairs. The girl looked beautiful with her skin shining with the lights on her.

She walked flawlessly down the stairs as a man in a black Armani suit walked to her which Tara thought was the groom. She couldn't see his face but the girl looked rather scared of him which she tried to hide with her bright smile.

She tried to have a look at the groom when he himself turned taking her breath away. Her eyes widened looking at the groom as her hold on Arjun's elbow tightened which made him look at her. He followed her gaze looking at the groom who was whispering something in his bride's ears hiding her from the guests.

"What is it, Baby?", Arjun asked.

"Can we leave Ji", Tara pleaded.

"Of course not, at least wish the couple", Arjun proposed.

"I need to have water. You can go and wish them", Tara spoke scared of meeting the man carrying such a strong aura.

"As you wish", Arjun spoke before walking to the couple who were getting congratulated by the people around them.

"Congrats Chiya", he wished looking at Chiya who smiled softly at him.

"Thanks. I thought you will not make it", she told him making him smile back.

He met the groom who was looking like a calm storm with his greenish-blue eyes who nodded at him. They shook hands as Arjun took his leave to find his wife who was standing in a corner with a glass of water.

Soon a song started playing in the background while they were having food. Arjun was feeling very weird with the change in Tara's behavior. She was sweating and asking him to leave again and again.

Her eyes fall on the dance floor where the same guy was dancing with a girl dressed in a long golden gown. They looked too close to each other.

"I'll just come back", Arjun said before standing up walking away. Tara sighed looking around, it felt weird to be at the party hosted by the person who kidnapped her and almost got her raped.

She sighed before moving to get some water when she bumped into the bride who looked almost in tears. She could understand how she must be feeling to see her husband dancing closely with a random girl when it was her right.

"You okay?", she asked making her smile softly at her.

"I am fine", the bride answered trying to hide her pain with her smile.

"It's Tara", she spoke realizing how she wanted to ask her name.

"Chiya", she answered smiling at her before passing past her.

She smiled sadly at the fate of Chiya seeing her walking upstairs wiping her tears. Just then she felt a light push as the guy who kidnapped her followed with a fast pace walking upstairs.

"Tara, we should leave", Arjun spoke as Tara nodded moving to the exit with him.

"Couldn't you tell this before", he told her seething with anger as Tara told him who that man was at the wedding. He was shivering with anger knowing that the man who hurt his wife was standing just in front of him shaking hands with him when all he wanted to do was pull his heart out of his body with his bare hands.

"It's not needed Ji and also he has moved on in life. I don't think he would continue doing wrong business and the truth to be said he never touched me inappropriately", she spoke trying to calm his anger rubbing his back.

"Men like him can never change", Arjun spoke angrily looking at a wall with fisted hands.

"What is the need of thinking about it anymore? I am here with you safe and secured. Can't we just forget about it like it never happened", Tara said hugging him placing her head on his chest. He didn't answer just continued looking at the wall before wrapping his arms around her making her sigh in relief unknown to the storm forming inside him.

He couldn't let him go after knowing he is the reason for his wife's tears.

"Dhriti, see you are always busy with your college work. Eat something", Chiya spoke running behind her with a plate filled with fruits.

"Bhabhi, I am not hungry. I will eat when I will be hungry", Dhriti spoke running away from her like she was having a gun in her hand.

"See Dhriti, I'll tell your brother about this and you know he doesn't like you avoiding meal", Chiya used the last card scaring her with the name of her brother making her stop at her place. Dhriti sighed before sitting on the sofa eating her fruits like an obedient child. Chiya smiled at her ways before picking up her phone from the sofa putting it safely on the table.

"Bhabhi, It's not right. You always scare me using Bhai's name", Dhriti said grumpily making Chiya smile at her adorable self. She caressed her hair before moving to the kitchen to get a glass of water for her.

She was filling her glass with water when she heard Dhriti's scream making her leave the glass at once before running out. Her breath hitched as she looked at the number of men standing in the living area holding Dhriti.

"Bhabhi", Dhriti cried when a man put a gun on her head stealing Chiya's breath.

"Please leave her. What do you want?", Chiya asked her eyes on Dhriti who looked scared.

"Revenge", One of them spoke smiling bitterly at her making Chiya feel the chills.

Suddenly Ritesh walked down the stairs. His eyes widen looking at his lady love in the clutches of some strange men.

"What is going on here?", He asked as Dhriti cried trying to push against the clutches.

In this, another man held Chiya putting the gun on her head making her scream feeling the sudden movement.

"Who in both of them is the wife and who is the sister?", one of them spoke looking between Dhriti and Chiya. Dhriti was crying in fear of getting hurt while Chiya was crying feeling scared for Dhriti.

"Who do you want?", Ritesh spoke suddenly making Chiya look at him as his eyes were on Dhriti.

"That doesn't matter", the one in black spoke as his eyes fall on Dhriti. He observed how this young girl was the reason for everybody's worry so it had to be Agastya's sister. He motioned his men to leave Chiya knowing they already had the heart of the Aulakh family.

"Your boss did very wrong by kidnapping our boss's wife. This will surely pay", the same man spoke looking at Ritesh who gritted before pushing Chiya in front of them.

"Agastya Sir, kidnapped your boss's wife so kidnap his wife leave Dhriti out of all this", Ritesh spoke bitterly as Chiya's felt tears falling out of her eyes already realizing how he considered her as a burden on himself that he was ready to trade her but the thing which scared her the most was Dhriti. She was too young to face these things.

"He is right. Leave Dhriti out of this. Take me instead", Chiya spoke making them smirk.

"The decision is already made. Just tell your boss to never cross roads with Arjun Khurana again", the same man spoke before moving out of the mansion still having Dhriti with them. Ritesh tried to fight but they were huge in numbers.

Agastya walked inside the mansion. This time he really felt like something weird with absolutely no guards outside and the door open as well. He entered inside to find Ritesh sitting on the sofa holding his head while his wife was sitting on the floor with tears falling down her cheek.

"What is going on here?", he asked walking to Chiya who looked up at him with red eyes with all the crying.

"Ritesh, did you again behave wrongly with her?", Agastya asked looking at her messed hair. He couldn't help but think about the worst possibility.

"She again proved how useless she is", Ritesh shouted making Chiya shudder.

"They took her away", Ritesh spoke making Agastya frown at his words.

"What are you talking about?", Agastya asked looking between Chiya and him.

"Arjun Khurana, took Dhriti because you kidnapped his so-called wife", Ritesh spoke making Agastya freeze at his place.

"I told his men many times to take your useless wife with them but I don't know why they didn't take her. Maybe they also realized how worthless she is. Why don't you just die?", Ritesh shouted looking at Chiya as she took a step back.

Before he could say another word Agastya held his collar throwing him on the floor making him wince.

"Don't you dare talk to her in that manner. If I shared everything with you about my plan, it was because I considered you as a friend not that I gave you the right to disrespect her. She is still your boss's wife, remember that before talking to her in that way. I am worried for Dhriti and I know I will save her no matter what but knowing that you tried to trade my wife to save my sister doesn't sit well with me. If you would've been strong and mindful enough, you could've saved Dhriti but here you found Chiya to blame", Agastya spoke angrily before picking up his phone to call his people.
