Scene 1
Shivika packed the few things she had unpacked and left the Oberoi Mansion.
She had booked a cab from Oberoi Mansion to the Mumbai International Airport.
'I'm sorry uncle but I can't stay here anymore. I love you and I'll miss you. I'm going back to New York.' she messaged Khanna and sat in the cab.
This time the cab driver was a young boy and he seemed shady with his face holding cuts on his cheeks and his slum outfit.
He kept glancing at Shivika from time to time through rear view mirror but poor Shivika was lost in her own depressed thoughts to realise that.
Shivika didn't know the correct route either so wherever the cab was going Shivika thought it to be the right way to the airport.
"Aur kitni der lagegi ?" Shivika finally asked the boy after 2 hours.
"Haan, bas pahunch hi gaye." The boy smirked.
Shivika felt weird so she decided to open the gps tracker and see if she's on the right way.
"Yeh kya ! Kaha leke jaa rahe ho mujhe tum ! Hum airport se 44 kms door hai. Aur yeh rasta bhi airport ki taraf nahi jata." Shivika yelled at the boy furiously. "Stop the car ! I said stop it."
"Chup ! Ek dam chup. Itni der se dekh raha hu, putla bani baithi thi aur ab achanak tujhe samjh aya ki mein tujhe kahi aur leke jaa raha hu ?" The boy yelled back.
Shivika understood that he was trying to kidnap her so she tried to jump out of the vehicle but the doors didn't open even when the locks were unlocked.
"Chup chap baithi reh...Tu bhag nahi sakti. Darwazon pe child-lock laga hai." The boy chuckled evilly.
"Kya chahiye tumhe ?" Shivika asked rather calmly.
"Joh kuch bhi chahiye woh toh mein ab tere parivaar se lunga." The boy smirked.
"Mera koi parivaar nahi hai." Shivika replied honestly.
"Jhut mat bol, tujhe meine abhi abhi Oberoi Mansion ke bahar se pick kiya hai, tu jarur unki koi khaas hogi." The boy spoke his mind. "Aur tere badle woh log mujhe denge paisa. Bahot sara paisa."
"Woh log mere koi nahi lagte, samjhe tum ! Aur woh log tumhe kuch nahi denge." Shivika spat angrily.
"Chalo thik hai, Oberoi's na sahi lekin tujhe bechke itne paise toh aa hi jayenge ki mein khushi se party kar saku." The boy replied. "Aur ab chup chap baithi reh samjhi ? Jyada chabar chabar ki na toh zaban kat dunga." The boy glared at Shivika.
Shivika glared back at him and put her brilliant mind on work. She calculated all the things and formulated a plan.
Scene 2
"Dadi ? Shivika kaha hai ? Mujhe ussey urgently milna hai." Khanna asked. He looked tensed and terrified.
"Oye kya hua ?" Dadi asked. "Tu itna ghabraya hua kyu hai ?"
"Dadi please Jaldi batayiye na kaha hai viki ?" Khanna repeated desperately.
"Apne kamre mein hogi. Ab toh bata ki hua kya ?" Dadi furrowed her eyebrows.
"Dadi mujhe uska msg aaya hai. Woh New York wapas jaa rahi hai, abhi isi waqt." Khanna explained and dashed towards Shivika's room.
"New York ?" Dadi frowned and went after Khanna.
Scene 3
A woman is shown with her face hidden under the hoodie she has taken over her head.
"Kaam hua ?" She asked someone on the phone.
"Bas chal raha hai mam. Apna plan hit hai bas execute karna baki hai." The man replied over phone.
"Good. Mujhe uski maut ki khabar chahiye." The woman smirked and hung up the call.
Keeping her hood on her face she walks a couple of steps ahead and smiles.
"13 saal pehle tumne mujhe rulaya tha Shivaay, aj tumhari baari." The woman smiled wickedly. "9 saal pehle meine tumhari Annika ko tumse chhina aur ab tumhari beti ko bhi chhin lungi."
She raised her right hand to the slight right of her face and made a fist. "Just wait and watch." She smirked.
Scene 4
Oberoi family is gathered in the living room but Shivaay is not there.
Bhavya comes there in a second. "Dadi humne apni police force kaam pe laga di hai. Hume pura yakin hai ki Shivika mil jayegi." She smiled weakly.
"Yeh sab bhaiya ki galti hai, na woh uspar galat ilzam lagate aur nahi woh ghar chod ke jaati." Rudy frowned.
"Meine uska phone kafi baar try kiya pr usne humara call rejection mein dala hai." Om interjected.
"Oh my mata, mujhe Shivika ki badi chinta ho rahi hai. Mata rani kare meri bacchi sahi salamat ho." Pinki said.
"Don't worry Pinki, Shivika mil jayegi." Janvi came beside Pinki and held her. Pinki gave her a smile.
"Mein khud usey dhundne jaa raha hu sir." Khanna spoke up after a while.
"Ruko mein bhi chalta hu tumhare sath." Om said and Khanna nodded.
"O, mein bhi aata hu." Rudra came forward.
The trio, OmRu and Khanna, were about to leave when Shivaay stopped them.
"Kaha jaa rahe ho ap tino ?" He asked with an raised eyebrow.
"Shivika ko dhundne, jo tumhari wajah se ghar chodkar chali gayi." Tej replied with a hint of sarcasm and annoyance.
"Woh ghar pr nahi hai ?" Shivaay asked seriously.
"Nahi, bade bhaiya, aur uska saaman bhi nahi hai." Gauri replied. "Pata nahi kaha chali gayi."
"Arey lekin aise kaise ?" Shivaay mumbled. "How irresponsible is that !" He muttered.
"What she did was just a reaction, bhaiya." Rudy replied. "Apne uske sath joh kiya, uske baad woh bahot hurt ho gayi thi."
Shivaay ignored his comment.
"Mein bhi aata hu tum logo ke sath." Shivaay said.
"Tum ?" Om asked disbelievingly.
"Haan, woh Oberoi Mansion mein reh rahi thi so woh humari zimmedari hai, agar usey kuch ho gaya toh Khanna toh..hume hi..sue karega na..so." Shivaay made up an excuse.
Shivaay was worried for Shivika. Of course, he had his misunderstanding and anger with him but he couldn't turn a blind eye on the fact that Shivika was his daughter and the only 'Nishani' of his and Annika's love.
Scene 5
ShivOmRu and Khanna reached the international airport and dashed towards the helpdesk.
"Hello. I'm Shivaay Singh Oberoi, kya aap mujhe please check karke bata sakti hai ki kya New york jaane wali flight take off kar chuki hai ?" Shivaay asked.
"Ji Haa, sir, one minute." The attendant checked something on the computer and replied, "Sir last flight new york ki kal sham ki thi aur agli abhi 20 minutes me nikalegi."
"Kya saare passengers board kar chuke hai ?" Rudy asked.
"Yes sir, almost." The attendant answered.
"Kya aap check kar ke bata sakti hai ki kya Shivika Khanna naam ki passenger plane mein hai ya nahi ?" Khanna asked.
"Sorry sir, lekin aise hum apne passengers ki information nahi de sakte." The attendant replied.
"Dekhiye woh meri bhatiji hai aur woh sirf 13 saal ki hai, uska guardian hone ke nate apko mujhe information deni hogi." Khanna argued.
After a few minutes of convincing, the attendant finally agreed when Shivaay called her manager and used his contacts.
"No sir, Shivika ji ka naam toh hai list mein lekin woh plane mein nahi hai." The attendant replied.
"Iska matlab agar Shivika plane mein nahi hai, toh woh yahi kahi pe hogi, let's find her." Om suggested and they all dispersed to find Shivika.
Scene 6
Shivika had a clear plan in her mind to escape. She slung her sling bag on her shoulders again after taking out her metal water bottle, and neatly put her phone in her pocket.
Shivika started rolling down the window on her side slowly. When the window was almost fully open the boy saw her.
"Oye yeh kya kar rahi ho !" He yelled angrily.
Shivika banged her water bottle on the boys head and quickly jumped out of the opened car window.
Shivika hissed in pain as she rolled off the road. She had suffered some scratches on her elbow and knee due to rough landing.
Without caring about her injuries she started running in the opposite direction. She ran a few miles. After running a few miles, she was tired so she stopped and looked around.
She was on some busy main road. "Yeh mein kaha hu ?" She panted to herself. "I should call uncle, he'll pick me up from here."
Shivika dialed Khanna's number and was waiting for him to receive the call when suddenly she saw a truck zooming in on her.
First she thought it will change its direction but as it came near and near she realised that the driver was purposely bringing the truck her way.
Shivika squeaked and started running all over again. Shivika was running and running and running but the truck seemed closer every time she turned back to check.
Scene 7
Shivaay was looking for Shivika in the airport when he got a call from Khanna.
"Yes Khanna ? Mili kya Shivika ?" Shivaay asked.
"No sir, but ap jaldi se mujhe airport ke bahar miliye. OmRu sir mere sath hi hai." Khanna said.
"Ok, I'm coming." Shivaay said and hung up the call.
Shivaay ran out of the airport and met OmRu and Khanna.
"Ha Khanna, kya hua ?" Shivaay asked.
"Sir meine airport ke security cameras ki footage check ki, Shivika yaha aayi hi nahi hai." Khanna informed.
"What ?" ShivOmRu exclaimed in unison.
"Ab kya kare ? Kaha gayi hogi woh ?" Om sighed sadly.
Shivaay tried to think of a place his daughter could go to but he couldn't think of any, cause he doesn't know his daughter that well to predict where she could go.
Shivaay touched his forehead in tension like he always does and saw something hanging down his watch. Shivaay looked at it and realised that it was one chaand from Shivika's bracelet.
He knew it was Shivika's chaand cause the size of the chaand was smaller than that of Annika's chaand.
Shivaay was trying to untangle that chaand from his watch but it wasn't coming out so he pulled harder and it fell a couple of steps ahead. Shivaay was just walking to get the chaand when suddenly a vehicle went over it and broke the chaand into pieces.
Shivaay's breath hitched in his throat. "Shivika." He mumbled and started taking deep breaths. He quickly collected the broken pieces of the chaand and yelled back to others. "Hume jald se jald Shivika ko dhundna hoga ! Woh kisi musibat mein hai."
Shivaay's fatherly instincts had been turned on and he was able to sense the danger around his child.
"Tu yeh kya bol raha hai Shivaay ? Kya hua ?" Om asked worriedly.
"Om, Shivika kisi musibat mein hai...I can feel it." Shivaay panicked.
Just then Khanna's phone went off. "Shivika ! Sir shivika ka call hai." Khanna smiled and received the call but as soon as he received it, the call was hung up.
"Hello ? Shivika ?" Khanna yelled into the phone.
"Kya hua Khanna ? Is she alright ?" Shivaay asked him on the verge of tears.
"Sir call cut gaya. Mein usey phirse call lagata hu." Khanna said.
"Yes. Quick, call lagao." Shivaay waited impatiently but Shivika didn't received the call.
After trying to call her 7 more times. Everyone started panicking.
"Shivika calls kyu nahi utha rahi ?" Rudy mumbled to himself.
"Om...kahi usey kuch..." Shivaay started but was cut off by Om.
"No Shivaay, think positive." Om replied and tried to mask his own tensions and negative thoughts.
----
The screen freezes on Shivaay's almost crying, worried face and Shivika's tensed and scared face while running away from the truck.
