Chapter 93 - Kidnapped (3) (1/2)

|Eshan|

”How dare you, Arjun? How the f*** you dare to drug me? Don't you f****** understand how much time I have l wasted sleeping on this bed? I'm not paralyzed yet. Release this handcuff this instant or I swear I won't forgive you ever,” I yelled loudly, glaring furiously at Arjun.

The loud sound of glass shattering numbed my already numb ears. I did not care. I threw down another vase as I watched it colliding against the floor and breaking down into pieces. It did nothing to lessen the fury and guilt in my heart. I wanted to smash it on Arjun, but that bastard avoided it every single time.

”Calm down. I won't repeat it again. If you think breaking things is going to help, then NEWS FLASH it won't. Use your brain to think who it might be,” Arjun snapped at me. Watching me breaking things from the last couple of hours had taken a toll on him too. He insisted on getting me admitted to the hospital when I told him that I did not want to, and he knew I would not, so he sneakily had doctor inject me sleeping drug.

”You are wasting my time. You're wasting Innaya's time. I don't know how she is. She must be scared. She must be waiting for me, Arjun. Please, let me go. I beg you, please.” I joined my hands before him, my eyes tearing as I thought about Innaya's scared face.

”Sahil. It must be him. He hates Innaya. Arjun, find Sahil. He's the one behind this,” I shouted. I just wanted Innaya back, and even after thinking about who could be behind the incident, I thought of Sahil only. ”Innaya was going to fight back, but that man holding her said something to her. It must be Sahil. Yes, it has to be.” At this point, I had lost all the rationality.

Arjun walked towards the bed, avoiding stepping on those pieces of glass. ”You need to be rational, Eshan. We all know Sahil, he is hotheaded but he would not fall so low to kidnap her,” he calmly replied.

”You don't know his hatred for Innaya,” I retorted, recalling the maddening hate Sahil harbored towards Innaya.

”I know everything. If you have forgotten it was I, who handled everyone for the last two months. I also know why Sahil reacted that way. I won't explain that to you know, but trust me he is not the one we are looking for.” Arjun's patience was hanging on the last thread, yet he was trying to keep control over his emotions.

”If you were to leave from the hospital, then chances of Innaya staying safe would reduce,” he added on afterthought.

I received a heavy blow listening to him. What the hell he meant by chances reducing? If my stay in the hospital was going to ensure Innaya's safety then I did not mind spending my whole life on this hospital bed. ”What do you mean?”

Arjun shoved my mobile in my hands. ”Take a look.”

There was a video on pause. I pressed on the play button. I felt my breath being knocked out of my body.

”Innaya.” The dread like never before crawled on my body as I watched Innaya's body tied to the chair. Her mouth was tied up with the cloth.

Innaya was afraid of darkness. Those bastards kept her in the darkroom. Innaya must be suffering. Tears rolled out of my eyes as I watch the naked fear on Innaya's face.

”Damn it.”

Arjun worked on his laptop. He raised his head and started, ”The video was sent an hour ago. Whosoever is behind this, knows you're in the hospital. A CD with this video recording was delivered to this room. Now, you know why we can't leave? Until now that person hasn't harm Innaya. I can't guarantee the same if you were to leave and begin the search.”

I slumped on the bed. Arjun was right. If I was being monitored, then there were high chances of Innaya getting harmed. I racked my brain, my memories, I scrolled through all my contacts trying to find some clue. What was the motive of the person?

Suddenly, I was reminded of the person who could be behind this. Mr. Abhinav Roy, I had warned him to stay away from Innaya, but it seemed like he did not take my words seriously.

”I know. It's that professor. That Mr. Roy.” I firmly believed that it had to be him.

Arjun shook his head.

”You don't think so?”I asked him.

”You have had only one interaction with that guy while I had two. If he was the one behind this abduction, he won't contact you. He has no feud with you. He would want Innaya, he wouldn't send us this video,” Arjun explained.

After pondering over his explanation, I realized he was right. He would not contact me, because he would want nothing but Innaya.”

I felt like banging my head against something. Why this had to happen to us? Why this had happened to Innaya? My sweet, innocent wife. Why did God love to torment her? Why? I pulled my hair in frustration.

Arjun left the room leaving his laptop on the bed. He closed the door on his way out. I pulled the screen towards me. I stared at the work he had done. He had gotten into CCTV footage in front of the mall, the SUV details were found out, and the route those kidnappers might have taken was also marked.
