Some Mature Content Ahead (18+)

Khushi watched along with her parents as Arnav paced around their living room on the phone "Aman, i need the helicopter ready in the next half hour for Delhi. I don't care of the pilot is not available get me another one or else i'll fly the damn thing myself." with that he shut his phone and ran a frustrated hand through his already disheveled hair.

Khushi gave him a cold glass of water to drink which he gulped down quickly. He looked at her parents with a troubled expression "Im sorry Mr and Mrs Gupta, i never expected things to take an ugly turn like this. I should have kept an eye on Shyam since he was one of the guys involved!"

Shashi gupta came forward a placed a hand on arnav's shoulder "Listen son, don't blame yourself. How were you to know that he will do this. Go and be with your family, we'll try and help in any way possible". Khushi spoke up quickly from behind "I'll also be going with him papa. I wont be able to rest till i know that the twins are back and safe" Shashi looked at her "Off course kiddo, i never thought of stopping you. You should be with arnav"

Arnav came forward and shook his head "No Khushi, you guys have been through a lot. You need to be here with your parents. I'll handle everything and keep you in the loop all the time."

Khushi came forwrad and held his hands in hers, she entwined her fingers with him and spoke "I know you can handle everything arnav, i never doubted that. But who will handle you? i want to be by your side. If nothing else i'll be there with dadiji and anjaliji, they need as much support right now as possible. Please don't make this harder"

Arnav smiled at her and caressed her cheek with his other hand "Ok. I won't argue further.We should leave in the next 10 minutes" Khushi gave him a radiant smile and ran upstairs to get her things ready.

They reached late evening in Delhi, All throughout the journey they were worried and discussed many ways of nabbing shyam. Arnav had already called every possible commissioner, ACP, DCP, Detective; you name it he had called them. Nearly the entire Delhi police force was on the job, Shyam and the twins photos were circulated in every possible police station within Delhi and other nearby areas. They were not sure how far he would have taken them.

After a tense short ride to the palace, Khushi got down from the car with arnav. Her eyes filled with tears as she saw anjali waiting for them at the entrance, her pain was palpable. As soon as arnav approached her she hugged him tightly and started sobbing against her brothers shoulder “ I had just found my kids after so long, why did this have to happen now! Oh arnav, how will we find them. I want my babies back arnav, please do something”

Arnav held his sister tightly and soothed her as she cried uncontrollably “Di, i swear to God, i will not rest until i have found them. I'll kill that b*****d!” saying this he led Anjali inside the house. He extended his other hand towards Khushi who placed her hand in his uncertainly. She did not want to create more stress in the house, everyone was bound to ask about her and how come she was back so soon with arnav. Arnav gave her a reassuring look and held her hand tightly as they walked inside the palace.

............................................................................................................................................

“So is that really our father?” Vibha asked her brother uncertainly. They had never seen a photo of his as no one in the house wanted them to know about him. But once vivaan had found a wedding photo of his parents which was then snatched away angrily by dadiji, vibha had never got to see it. Vivaan nodded his head “I think it's him. Though i can't be very sure. I'd seen his photo ages ago, but he did show us all those photos with mom right!”

They were both sitting on the bed of an ancient looking cot. The room was very sparsely furnished with just a table next to the bed and a lopsided lamp on it. The windows were tightly shut with dirty curtains hanging on them. The attached bathroom looked dirty and the whole room smelled foul. The rattling old fan made a mighty sound as it rotated in a slow speed. The twins looked on as the door to the room was unlocked and a man who claimed to be their father came in.

............................................................................................................................................

Shyam looked at his kids, he had no idea they had grown so much. The last thing he wanted was any contact with his kids, but desperate circumstances made him take this step. He had packed his bags and come to Delhi for hiding, just in case the father daughter duo decided to have his head for dinner, he thought how could he trust someone who backstabbed his own brother.

Since Lavanya's disappearance and them ignoring his calls, he was mildly suspicious for their motive, so he thought it best to stay for a while in his late uncles house at Chandni chowk, no one could find him since no one knew this address. He was having his breakfast in the morning when his trusted source at the ACB office told him about how he had overheard the commissioner and Mr Shetty discussing their plan to nab Kishore and Sheena and how Arnav was masterminding it. He immediately checked up on the twins schedule. He needed some collateral against arnav who would definitely come after him once the Gupta's were caught.

He walked towards them and was surprised to see them sitting confidently on the bed, he thought they would be terrified of him, God only knows what stories Anjali's family had fed them. He thought about how earlier he had tricked the teacher to release them to him, it was another story as to how he had to convince the kids to come with him; he was glad his story about reconciling with their mother had made them trust him and come with him. He showed them photographs of him and anjali and convinced them that he wanted to re-marry their mother so that they could be one big happy family.

The poor suckers had fallen hook, line and sinker and accompanied him to this house. Once they got here and a thousand questions from the kids later, Shyam had told them that he had called their mother here to join them. The kids seemed to once again accept his lie and went calmly to the room to wait for their mother.

............................................................................................................................................

“Has our mom come yet? Its been a long time now” Vibha said as she glanced at her hello kitty watch. It was past 8 at night and they were starving while waiting desperately for their mom. Shyam rolled in a table stacked with roti's, sabzi, rice and dal. He served a plate each to both of them and told them to eat, he assured them that their mother is coming and might get a bit late “You both eat and freshen up. If you feel sleepy, you can sleep. I'll wake you up when your mother gets here”

Vivaan got up suddenly “Can i ask you a question?” Shyam looked at him and nodded “Why did you leave us? And why do you want us to get back again?” Shyam looked worried for a bit but quickly replied “Thats two questions,and since you asked to answer one i'll answer the second one. I want us to get back because i think you kids need a real father. We can once again be a big family, won't that be nice?”

Vivaan scrunched up his nose “I guess so, but i also like how we are now. Arnav mama is like our father you know, and since mom has gotten better we already have our family” Shyam felt a hurtful tug at his heart, but he quickly dismissed it “Well, lets just discuss this once your mother gets here. Now eat and then try and get some sleep” Saying that he quickly closed the door and locked it from the other side.

Khushi sat with dadiji and and anjali on either side of her. She held their hands as arnav spoke to the commissioner of police. There weren't many questions about her appearance asked yet probably because no one was in the right frame of mind, Anjali and dadi had both hugged her fiercely when they walked in, dadiji said that she was glad khushi was back since they needed her here in this crucial situation.

If any questions had arisen in their mind about her and arnav they kept it to themselves, right now they all had to concentrate on the kids, Khushi saw as Yuvi cam hurriedly from the foyer “Bhai, we have checked every place where Shyam jijaji ever visited, his family, friends and even his colleagues from his earlier and later companies, he's not been heard or seen by any of them since a long time.”

Arnav gave a frustrated growl, he turned towards anjali and knelt down in front of her “Di, i need you to remember. Was there anyone else that Shyam knew in Delhi? I am sure he won't go out of the city. Please Di, rack your brains try and remember anything small you can. Even some relative or friend he had ever mentioned”

Anjali closed her eyes trying to remember every conversation she had with her ex-husband, the eight years she spent in solidarity had given her a lot of time to go over her entire married lifetime over and over again; she suddenly opened her eyes and looked at arnav “Wait, he had mentioned an old uncle once, what was his name...umm...yes Alok Sharma, he was Shyam's maternal uncle. Shyam had told me that there was no one else in the world for him except shyam and he had named him the sole benefactor of his things and property once he dies, arrgghh i can't remember where he lived though”

Arnav felt a flicker of hope with this information, he quickly dialed a number on his phone “Aman, i need to you check with Mr bagchi for information on an Alok Sharma, he is related to Shyam's mother” he turned towards anjali mid-sentence “Di, do you remember his mothers name?” Anjali nodded “Her name was Usha devi, her family hailed from Benaras”

Arnav spoke back in the phone “Aman, Mr Alok sharma hailed from Benaras originally but he had a house in Delhi or nearby, his sisters name was Usha devi. Did you get this down?...Good...try and find his delhi address asap! And call me as soon as you do”

............................................................................................................................................

It was past mid-night when Vibha got up, she looked around and saw her brother sleeping soundly; she nudged him awake, he sat up rubbing his eyes “What? Im sleepy” Vibha roleld her eyes “get up idiot! Mom is not coming! Don't you get it? He fooled us!”

vivaan now sat up straight “How do you know mom isn't coming? Maybe she's already here and she and our father are talking right now” Vibha shook him by the shoulders “Are you blind? We are still locked in this room! If our father really wanted us to reconcile or whatever and had called mom, he would not have locked us up! See even the windows are tightly shut. I am sure something's not right”

Vivaan looked at her with wide eyes “Wait..are you saying that we may have been kidnapped by him?” Vibha looked at her bother with a 'finally' expression “ Exactly! I mean why do you think he's back after so long! Im sure he wants something...otherwise mom would have been here ages ago! Do you really think she'll leave us with him even for a second alone! And the way he came to our school...i doubted him even earlier, but then thought better of it. C'mon get up, we need to leave from here and call home” with that both of them leapt out of the bed and started looking around for ways to get out of the house.

............................................................................................................................................

Shyam was trying to sleep in the other room of the house, since the house was not in a long time, it was extremely messy.He had a lot of construction material lying around the house since he was going to get some people to work on the house and clean it up today, but obviously his plans changed. He was quite sure that Arnav was now looking around for him, he knew that every police man would be on the prowl tonight to nab him. He thought it best not to make any calls yet since they could trace him. He felt it was best to call arnav in the morning from a phone booth or something.

He had decided his ransom, he knew that there would definitely be an arrest warrant waiting for him since the guptas would have blurted his name out. He wanted arnav to clear his name and make sure that his name does not crop up in this sordid deal. He knew that Mr Arnav singh raizada can make this happen, also besides this he needed money. He could ask for a couple of crores and escape this country before they could find him. On his way out he would tell them where to find the kids, till then he had to keep the kids healthy and happy. With this thought in mind, he fell into a deep sleep.

............................................................................................................................................

Arnav was sitting at his desk in the study with his head in his hands, they still could not trace the Alok sharma they wanted, there were close to 57 alok sharmas in delhi, it would take all night to get the right one. Arnav felt restless and helpless as he sat at his desk, he wished that the police and mr bagchi could trace the house soon, he could not rest till he found the kids.

He looked up to see khushi slowly entering the room, she had been with anjali throughout the night, she came and stood by his chair, her hands started automatically kneading his tense shoulders and neck, arnav let out a groan from tiredness “Di and dadiji are finally sleeping, their tiredness gave in. I think you should get some rest as well”

Arnav pulled her by her arm and made her sit in his lap, she instantly wove her arms around his neck and leaned in “What am i going to do Khushi, how will i find the kids. I want to go out there on the streets and look for them, but i need to be here in case shyam calls home. I cannot have di speak to him, it will just terrify her further”

Khushi caressed her palms on his cheeks and held his face “I understand darling, you are needed here. Yuvi has gone with the police right? And the police are going to find that address. I am quite sure shyam will be there. He won't risk taking the kids to any other place, plus remember the kids will be safe with him, he'll never try to hurt them” She kissed him sweetly on his forehead.

Arnav felt her lips flutter lightly on his forehead, he pulled her closer and tipped her face towards his “Thanks for being here khushi, i don't know what i would have done without you.” saying this he captured her soft lips with his own, he kissed her with all the longing and love he felt for her, he could not believe how lucky he was to have her in his life, she wound her fingers in his hair and kissed him back passionately, she wanted him to know that she will always be beside him in the worst and best situations, she'll stand with him strong throughout anything.

Arnav felt her love in the kiss, he slowly slid his hands under her kameez, his hands went towards her waist caressing the smooth skin there. Khushi shivered as she felt his rough cold hands against her heated skin. She broke their kiss and started kissing him softly over his tired eyes, she then continued kissing him on his nose, his cheeks, his ears. She heard him groan as she felt him go hard under her. She could feel his need and wanted to give him whatever pleasure she could.

Arnav felt khushi's hands on his pants, she unzipped them and pulled them down slowly, she then shifted on his lap to accommodate herself on his thighs, arnav needed her badly, they both did. He quickly divested her of her kameez and then pulled her salwar strings apart to slide it down over her silky long legs. Khushi started kissing him on his neck as she unbuttoned his shirt. She did not bother taking it off him as her mouth latched onto his hard chest. She teased his nipples with her mouth and teeth. Today she wanted to pleasure him, she wanted him to forget his worry for a while. He was too stressed out.

Arnav moaned khushis name as he felt her hot mouth on his body, trailing kisses and licking him everywhere, this pleasure was too much to bear. He held her by her waist as her assault continued.

Khushi crept her hands slowly down to his boxers, she pushed them down and stroked his arousal with her hands, she pumped it from the tip to his balls and heard him groan with pleasure.

She felt him slide her panties down as his mouth laved her hard nipples through her thin lacy bra. Khushi felt herself dripping over arnavs thighs. When she could feel arnav writhing restlessly under her, she slowly raised herself and guided his hard length into her tight warmth. She sighed with contentment as she felt his entire length deep inside her.

Arnav felt such intense pleasure being inside her, it felt right, like this is where he belonged. Khushi leaned in and held onto the top of the chair they were on, her magnificent breasts caressed his face as her pelvis thrust up and down over his hard member, arnav held her perfect bottom tightly with both his hands and matched her by thrusting upward to meet her every demand. They continued this for a long time as each stroke took them to newer heights.

Arnav felt his orgasm building as khushi's soft moans and wild thrusts took him over the edge, he held on as he he felt her body going rigid in preparation of her climax, when she came with a loud moan, her body shuddering with the powerful orgasm, arnav too finally gave in and burst into her hot sheath. He felt khushi hold his face and kiss him wildly as they both reached nirvana and back.

Once the aftershocks died down, he slowly slid out of her and lifted her to once again settle her against his lap. She leaned her head against his chest and he soothed her back as their breathing got back to normal, arnav looked into her eyes full of love and held her chin in his fingers “Thank you khushi, i needed you. You are my salvation you know that. I can't live without you even for a second”

Khushi touched her forehead against his as she replied with all the love she felt for him “Don't thank me silly, i love you. I need you as much as you need me, and i'll die if i can't be with you. I know we'll find the kids arnav i just know it. Just have faith”

Arnav took a long breath and sighed “I know darling, its just that i feel helpless. I know that the creep will not hurt them but i don't know what the kids are going through, they will be scared and worried”

Khushi brushed her nose against his “Arnav, im actually thinking about what they'll do to him, i think he is the one in danger of those two or have you forgotten what all tricks they can do!” she felt the corners of his lips lift lightly “oh yes, how can i forget the things they have done”

Khushi felt at peace seeing his face relax. They both got dressed as khushi went in the kitchen to make some coffee for them, she knew it was a long night and they had to stay awake in case the police or shyam called.

............................................................................................................................................

“Yes i did it” Vibha exclaimed in a whisper as the door opened. They had used vibha's hair clip to undo the lock on the door, luckily for them the door was very old and it gave in very quickly. They gathered some of the things like a butter knife and fork in case weapons were required. They slowly crept out of the room, but it was too dark for them to see anything.

Suddenly vibha saw a white beam coming from vivaan's hand “What! Its my new Ben10 watch, it has a torch light in it, cool huh?” vibha rolled her eyes but was secretly happy that vivaan had that watch on him. She took his hand and moved it around to see what they were against. There were too many construction materials, some rope and glue lying about the house. They realised that to get to the main door, they had to go through the other room.

They peeped in to see shyam sleeping deeply on the bed, Vibha looked at vivaan and they both smiled as vivaan spoke slowly “ are you thinking what i'm thinking?”
