Surprise!!! Here is a double update from my side for all my amazing readers. Make sure that you read the previous chapter (Chapter 9) before proceeding with this chapter. Happy Reading!!!

3 Days Later:
Sooryamoorthi, Sreeram and Lakshya tried their best to find Samskriti but didn't get a clue. They were tired but was not ready to give up. For them Samskriti is the first priority now. They searched all the places where Vinayak can keep Samskriti, but they were all empty making them disappointed. Sooryamoorthi tried to get Prabhakar back from jail inorder to save his daughter. But all the evidences they collected against him were strong and the charge sheets were already filed. Sooryamoorthi even requested to so many officials, but didn't work out. On the other hand his health was also getting worst.

Today is the last day they can be sure that Samskriti will be safe. They don't know what will happen to her tomorrow since they can't get Prabhakar out of jail till now. Everyone was tensed.

Shivani looked at her Appa who is leaning back on the chair with a tired body. It feels like he is lifeless. She couldn't see him like this. She instantly moved out of the room and went to Sreeram who is emptying a bottle full of water into his mouth. He is also tired. It's been three days they slept and eat properly. She felt sad.

"Sree, any information about our Samskriti?"she asked with little hope still remaining.

Sreeram placed the bottle back and came towards her.
"Shivani, we haven't get any clue where she is. I don't know whether we can save her."Sreeram said lowering his head.

That's it. She didnt stand there anymore. She rushed to upstairs and moved towards the balcony.

"Why did you guys return back? Did you enquire everywhere where I said to search?" An angry Lakshya spoke to Sooryamoorthi's men who returned back after a long search for Samskriti.

The men nodded with an hopeless face. He sighed.
"You guys are good for nothing. Did you search the outskirts well?"he asked again still not ready to give up.

"We tried our best"he got the reply and he walked back angrily. He took out his phone from the pocket and started calling someone.
"What's the status? Any information?"he asked clearly showing a tired worried face.

"Listen..search everywhere without any fault. I want her back right infront of me. No matter wherever happens. Take as much people you wants. Dont give me excused anymore. And yes, I am coming to join you."he said determinantly and ended the call with a frown.

He took the keys and was about to go out when Guna called him from back. Vinay too joined them making him scowl.
"Now what you guys want?"he asked annoyingly.
"Lakshya, come and eat something. It's been three days you have eaten properly. You will fell somewhere tired. Your body needs energy man."Guna tried to advice him.

"I cant eat and rest here when she is suffering there. I am sure she might be waiting for me to rescue her."he said. His words reflecting hope.

"We know. But only if you are alive, you can save her."Vinay said.

"She was the only one who worried for me till now, only one who have seen something good in me. Only one who saw me as a human when everyone else treated me as a devil. I can't sit idle when I am not sure whether she is ok or not." He said wiping away a tear drop from his eyes corner.

Guna and Vinay realized that they can't make him understand. They sighed looking at each other. All this were listening by someone else from the balcony. A slight smile occupied her face.

Lakshya was about to get into the jeep when he suddenly stopped seeing someone coming to him.

"Lakshya..."Shivani called him making him confuse.
"Please save my sister. Only you can save her now."she joined her hands and pleaded him with tears. He was shocked and surprised.
"Please dont request me. You can order me. After all it's my duty."he said and she looked at his eyes.

"No..you are the only one who is still having hope and didn't give up till now. I can understand why she loved you. It was not a mistake and she was right." Shivani spoke making him speechless.

His friends smiled.
"Please bring her back soon. I trust you more than anyone now. You can save her. Only you can."she added making him confident.

"You were there whenever she needs an help. Even we didn't try to understand her or stand with her. But you saved her always when we failed to do it. Now she needs you again. Please... Dont let her get hurt."Shivani was crying.

He closed his eyes for sometime and then opened it determinantly. He looked at her.
"Dont worry. I will only come back with her. She won't get hurt when I am alive. Trust me. I will bring her back before tomorrow morning. I swear that she will be safe."He said loudly making her believe it.

He entered into the driving seat of the jeep and his friends jumped inside into the back seat before he goes out with it. She looked at them moving away from her finally vanishing into the distance.

The jeep was parked at an isolated place. Lakshya was on a call and his two friends were waiting for him to end the call.

"Ok. I will call back you soon" finally Lakshya ended the call after a talk of long 20 minutes.

"What did he say?" Vinay asked anxiously.
"He didn't get any idea. But he promised me to trace the location of Vinayak through his phone signals." Lakshya said excitedly.

"What's there to relax in this? Samskriti might be kept on some place where we can't reach easily and I am sure that Vinayak won't be with her. He is not a fool to be with her always so that we can catch him easily. We should trace Samskriti instead of Vinayak now."Guna said doubtful.

"Oh god where would we find that poor girl now?" Vinay sighed.

"Listen to me first. I am sure she is with him. Otherwise we would have find them both within this time.  But she is not there in any places where he can keep her secretly. He is also missing from last three days."he said.

"What are you trying to say?"Vinay asked confusingly.

"They must be in a vehicle travelling from one place to another. That's why we couldn't figure them out till now. Whenever we search for her in one place, he changes his location. That must be happened." He said his findings making his friends think.

"You may be right."Guna and Vinay agreed.
Suddenly his phone vibrated and he opened to see a message.
"And we got his location..."Lakshya smirked starting the jeep.
_______________________________________

Lakshya stopped his jeep infront of an old industry which is not working now.
"Isn't this the place where that old man saw a car with Vinayak's number plate?"Lakshya asked.
"Yes I think this is the place. There is no other old factories here. So must be here only."Guna replied.

"But Lakshya, he saw the car few hours ago. What if Vinayak already moved to another place?"Vinay asked his doubt.

"Lets search here first. Even if they moved, they couldn't have go long distances."Lakshya said entering out and started searching everywhere.

It was then they noticed Vinayak's car. They slowly moved towards it only to see a few men having food. He frowned and shouted angrily.

"Hey....."
The men looked back and shocked to see the three men army in full rage.

Making Lakshya and his friends relax, a man leaned outside the car to check them revealing his face. It was none other than Vinayak.

"Let's go..take the car"Vinayak shouted and his men entered into the car quickly.

"Stop there."Lakshya entered into the jeep to follow them.

Lakshya followed the car in his maximum speed. He was not caring about anything else than Samskriti who must be waiting for him. When the car entered into the main road he took a short cut and immediately over took the car and blocked it.

An angry Vinayak came out of the car along with his men. He glared at the three men who is standing as an obstacle in his way.
"What do you want?"He asked.
"Get Samskriti out."Lakshya shouted.
"From where?"Vinayak smirked.
"Dont play with me. I won't even hesitate to finish you forever."Lakshya replied making him frown.
"For a girl ah? Tell me what Sooryamoorthi is giving you in return for all this? I will give twice of that."Vinayak laughed making Lakshya angry.

He rushed to attack when Vinayak stopped him.

"Wait. What do you want actually? Samskriti ah? She is not with me now. But ofcourse she is safe in my custody till tonight. Tomorrow morning your boss can witness a beauty sight infront of his house. His daughter's lifeless body will welcome him."Vinayak again laughed.

Lakshya became violent and took the sword from his vehicle. But both Guna and Vinay stopped him.
"What are you doing? Samskriti is still in his custody. Dont forget that. Dont do anything foolish that will cost her life."Guna adviced him making him think again.

"So your friends have atleast a brain."Vinayak remarked.
"Hey old man. Tell us where you kept that poor girl. Don't try to play with the devil. This time we stopped him only to see you alive for some more time. Dont expect that everytime." Vinay challenged him.

"Arey devils, do you guys really think that I am a fool to keep her with me wherever I am going. Can't I think that you will follow me to get her back? Go..go and search where I kept her. I promise she is safe there. Until tonight.."Vinayak smirked and was about to enter back into his car.

That was when Lakshya noticed Samskriti's stole end stucked between the car's back door. He remembered that she was wearing a purple color salwar that day when she shouts at him for the last time and the stole color was the same. He confirmed that she is inside the car at the back seat. He sighed in relief with a smile.

Vinayak was stopped by Lakshya's strong hold on his collar. He turned back glaring at him.
"Hey Rowdy boy. Didn't I tell you that she is not with me? Go and search where I kept her. If you find her before tonight, then I won't protest. You can take her with you."Vinayak said in a challenging tone.

"What if I find her now? Here..."Lakshya smirked making the others confused.

Before finish thinking, a punch landed on Vinayak's face making him yell in pain. Lakshya kicked his stomach and he fell down.  He gestured his men to kill Lakshya. But both Guna and Vinay entered into the scene stopping the men. Lakshya started beating each men one by one. Vinayak was scared and entered into the driving seat to escape. But Lakshya snatched the key from him dramatically. Vinayak had to get out of the car because of Lakshya's tight grip on him.

"You don't deserve to live anymore." Saying it Lakshya took the sword from the back side of his collar. Vinayak was scared and started shivering.

"Laksh...."that's when Lakshya heard that low tone from the car. He immediately recognized the voice and his hands stopped in air. He felt tears wetting his eyes and cheeks.

Vinayak took it as a chance and dropped the sword on ground from his hand. He didn't waste a single second and ran away escaping from Lakshya.

Lakshya slowly opened the back door of the car. The sight pierced his heart for a moment making him a statue. Samskriti is sitting on the back seat and her hands and legs were tied. A piece of cloth stuffed into her mouth. She was looking tired and it seems like it's been many days she had eaten. He was shocked and stood there motionless.

She saw him and her eyes shined.
"Laksh..."she spoke in the same low tone. Since the cloth in her mouth didn't allow her to speak it feels like a whisper. But it was enough to bring him back from his shocked state.

He immediately released her from all ties and removed the cloth piece from her mouth.
"Laksh..."she called with all emotions.
"Are you ok? Did they hurt you?"he asked cupping her face.
She shook her head happily.

He couldn't control his emotions that he was trying hard to control till now. He hugged her tightly and she was surprised. She felt tears on her shoulders. He was letting his heart out.

He pulled away releasing the hug and looked at her eyes intensely.
"I Love You."he said and she was shocked.

That's it. She collapsed into his arms unconscious.
"Samskriti..."he screamed.
