A month after

We got to know that, there were traces of  Narcotic drugs in Mrs. Anuradha's system.

Someone must have been giving her some strange drug.

Avanti went to meet her mom. Mrs. Anuradha looks at her, she tries to move but the rope tied around her hand and legs couldn't let her.

Pinky walks in.

She wanted to know what was happening.

Ayan told her everything and instead too was to be considered. She left to her room to make a call.

Avanti got angry. She wanted to teach pinky a lesson.

I had no beg her not to. But for now, we should find a way to get things settled.

Mr...s Anuradha was sent to the mental asylum.

Ayan suggested that we keep her there for a while, so the doctors can take good care of her.

Avanti wasn't In total support.

However, they were no other choice.

We kept Mrs. Anuradha there for a couple of months.

Ayan drove us back and we walked in. Seeing pinky getting the entire house decorated.

Avanti got upset with her.

She goes to her and demanded an explanation.

Pinky looks and didn't say away.

Karan walks in. He steps ahead and dragged Avanti back to his gaze.

"Control yourself, baby,"

He tried to touch her Cheeks.

Avanti pulled him away and angrily slapped him.

We all looked startled by that.

Karan didn't like the fact that he was slapped and goes ahead to take his hand on her.

I wanted to go to stop him. However, Ayan beat me when he held Karan's hand up from reaching Avanti.

"How dare you,"

Karan said.

"Seriously, didn't your mom, tell you not to hit a woman,"

Ayan pushed him

Karan falls into the wall and banged his head.

I came to Avanti and pulled her away.

Ayan went ahead and grabbed Karan again.

Within the next five minutes. Karan was beaten to a pulp by Ayan.

I saw the anger in his eyes, for the first time, apart from Abhishek, being Avanti's brother, someone else sure care's a lot for her.

....

Avanti begged Ayan to let him go.

Eventually, he did and he goes away, dragging her with him.

I'm I missing something?.

I got to meet Ayan in the kitchen later that day, he was busy with his laptop when I walked in.

"Good evening javelin,"

He closed his laptop and looked at me.

"Good evening Ayan, what are you doing here?" I walked to the fridge to get some water.

Ayan said he had come to work, but there were still some things he needs to be fixed.

While talking. I noticed a lipstick stain on his cheeks.

And I know that  reddish color of  lipstick anytime I see it.

I got to Avanti's room after talking with Ayan.

She was getting ready for bed when I walked in.

I passed her and went to her makeup kit.

I glanced through, finally picking the exact color of the lipstick on  Ayan's cheeks.

Is there something going on between Ayan and my best friend?

I'll have to find out...

One month later.

It's been a whole month since Abhishek disappeared. Karan making sure we don't find him.

Pinky on the other hand seems to be getting infuriated each they

Mrs. Anuradha and I, finally joined forces to expose the one behind the disappearance of her son and put them behind the bar.

But it seems the more we get close to finding the truth, the farther we become.

Apart from finding Abhishek, it has been impossible to call off the engagement between Avanti and Karan.

I think that Karan is doing this because he thinks that his sister is dead, which of course she isn't.

I'll have to find a way and tell him the truth.

"Avanti, come back,"

I overheard Mrs. Anuradha screaming her daughter's name.

I wonder what new drama is going on.

Avanti picked up a knife from the kitchen, when I got there I saw her trying to hit herself with it.

We all begged her not to.

Still, Avanti swore to hit herself if ever the wedding between her and Karan takes place.

I looked up to Karan's room. His door was locked, which meant that he was not at home.

Mrs. Anuradha tries to reason with her.

Avanti being so stubborn didn't want to listen, she also refused to give anyone listening ears.

Not until Ayan sneaked past all of us and forcefully dragged the knife away from her.

Avanti falls on his shoulders and cries. It's heartbreaking to be stuck in such a dilemma.

I want to help my friend. But I can't.

Not now, when Abhishek isn't found.

I know it sounds a lot selfish, but it feels like, we are sacrificing Avanti's happiness, In the name of finding Abhishek.

Is there a way, I can stop the wedding and find Abhishek at the same time?....

Karan walks in.

"What's up going on here?"

He rode past us and dragged Avanti away from Ayan.

Ayan however tries to explain. Karan refused to give me a chance and threatened once again to kill Abhishek if anyone there did anything stupid.

He forcefully throws Avanti to tht ground.

I saw that. I almost wanted to beat him up. However, whatever actions I take shouldn't jeopardize Abhishek's safety.

After all, I can always beat him up after all this drama has ended.

I helped Avanti up and walked her to her bedroom. While we left, I saw her staring at Ayan.

That stare?

Later in the day, I got a call from my parents. Dad told me that Mom has started to get persistent about me coming back home.

However before I got a chance to speak further, Mom took the phone away from Dad and promised to come to India and take me away if I didn't come back within two weeks.

The call gets disconnected.

Avanti overheard my conversation. She volunteered to speak with my parents if ever I don't feel like going.

Of course, I don't want to go and leave her and Abhishek alone.

I know that my marriage to Abhishek was more like a compromise, he needs me and why do I sound like a typical Indian wife?
