Rivan's meeting was over, and he was sitting in his cabin. His friends were sitting on the chairs opposite him, talking about something. Just then, Shruti came into the cabin. Before Rivan could say anything to her, she burst into tears. Rivan quickly stood up from his chair, pulled Shruti into his arms, and asked, "What happened? Why are you crying?"
She kept sobbing, unable to answer. Rivan stroked her head and asked again, "What happened?"
Shruti lifted her head, looked at Rivan, and said softly, "Bhai... Aanya."
Rivan gently pulled away from her and, looking into her eyes, asked again, "What happened to Aanya?"
Shruti looked at Rivan, fear and anger both reflected in her eyes.
Rivan was now out of control. He shouted angrily, "What happened to Aanya? Tell me!"
Shruti trembled with fear and then, in a faltering voice, told Rivan everything.
Rivan's friends also stood up from their chairs.
Rivan's face was red with anger, and his eyes were blazing. Without wasting a moment, he quickly stormed out of the cabin.
All his friends followed him without saying a word.
Shruti stood there, terrified. She thought in her mind, "Nothing should happen to Aanya. If anything happens to her, I will never forgive myself."
On the other side, Rivan was driving his car at a stormy speed. One hand was tightly gripping the steering wheel, and the other was on the phone, constantly dialing Aanya's number, but each time her phone was switched off.
Rivan's friends were following him in their other car, their speed equally high. Within minutes, they all reached the mall.
Rivan quickly opened the car door and got out, almost running up the stairs. As soon as he reached the main gate of the mall, his gaze fell on a guard who was looking elsewhere. Rivan lost his temper. In the blink of an eye, he grabbed the guard by the neck, pushed him down the stairs, and quickly ran inside the mall. As soon as he entered, all the workers present stood up from their places, seeing him in such a rage. Rivan looked like a walking storm at that moment.
Rivan walked quickly towards the control room, his friends following behind him. Reaching the control room, he said to the security chief, "Get the entire CCTV footage of the last one hour right now." The security chief quickly started checking the footage from an hour ago. All the workers in the control room got involved in the task. Just then, Rivan's gaze fell on a man wearing a mask and goggles. Rivan now started checking the footage himself. He saw the footage from outside the mall, where the man had kidnapped Aanya. Aanya was in his arms, and Rivan's hands clenched into fists. Rivan's eyes fell on the license plate of the man's car. Without wasting a single moment, he came out of the control room, took out his phone, made a call, and then came out of the mall. He leaned against his car, his eyes closed. With his eyes still closed, he said, "If anything happens to her, I will set this world on fire."
Aditya put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Nothing can happen to Aanya while you're here."
Rivan opened his eyes, fire blazing in them.
Aditya suddenly hugged Rivan and said, "Nothing will happen to her." Rivan stood silently without any expression.
Just then, a message arrived on Rivan's phone.
Aditya immediately pulled away.
Rivan looked at the phone, quickly got into the car, and drove off. Aditya and the others also quickly got into their car and followed. Within moments,
