He tracked down her location by the help of his men and finally found the area where she could be present. He saw three pubs in that area. He searched every pub thoroughly but no trace of her. He called her number multiple times but it appeared switched off.

"Inaya...where are you?"

He rumbled in frustration. He called his men again and told them to search the area properly. She was drunk. She can't manage at her own right now.

Suddenly his eyes fall on her car. The headlights are on. For a second his breathing got stuck in fear. He started to imagine the worst that could happen. He immediately ran towards the car. His heart was galloping in too much fear.

After reaching closer, he found her lying unconscious. Within a second he broke the glass of her window and unlocked the car. After getting inside he picked her on his lap and cupped her face.

"Inaya....oh my..."

He whispered while his eyes fell on a small wound on her forehead. He pressed her on his chest and kissed her head.

"You are fine...you are just fine"

He whispered to himself in relaxation. This time she opened her eyes and saw him holding her so protectively on his arms. She doesn't know why but tears gathered on her eyes. She always wanted this protection from Anurag.

She has dumped this loving man for Anurag. She stared at his face and got mesmerized after seeing his handsome face. The way he is looking at her, is showing how much passion he holds for her. His deep intense staring is the proof of his love.

She slowly touched his face. Her fingers caressed his cheeks. She smiled with tears on her eyes. Riwaz was too shocked to react.

"Ina...."

She sushed his lips and smiled.

"You are a crazy man....i have...never seen a stubborn person like you.....how can you love me like this?"

Her lips and quivered and within a second she hugged his chest tightly and cried out.

"Love me Riwaz....keep loving me like this... I'm deprived of love....please...love...me..."

Riwaz's heart ached in pain after hearing her broken voice. He held her more tightly than before. His heart was dancing in happiness after hearing her but at the same time it shook in pain. She has suffered a lot till now. He will give her every happiness of this world. She is an angel. She deserves the world. He will bring the whole world on her feet.

"I have always loved you...only you and I will love you like this....just stay with me.."

They both stayed like that. She whimpered on his hold while he felt her softness on his hard chest. She is melting on his arms. That's what he always wanted. Riwaz Khan for whom many girls are crazy, was dying for this since an eternity.

He found her asleep on his lap. He chuckled after seeing her cute face. His men appeared near the car. He came out by taking Inaya on his arms. His men opened the door of his car and he entered.

"Go to my hotel"

He instructed his driver. Then he stared at his angel. So beautiful and innocent. He placed a soft kiss on her forehead and hide her on his chest.

Pari's pov

I walked through the isolated alley. The air is chilled. My bones are shaking from within. I wiped my tears and kept on walking. I'm scared but i know nobody will come to help me. I have to help myself right now.

I opened the map on my phone. I tried to look properly. My tears fall on the screen. I bite my lips to control my sobs.

"Don't cry Pari....this..is..not a big....deal...you can find your address..."

I tried to cheer my own mood.

"And look it's adventurous...you can tell this story to Tara...she will definitely going to enjoy..."

I looked around and again fear struck me. I cannot see a single soul around. I have came in a wrong way. I increased my speed. I have to reach on the main locality. I stopped at the end of the alley. I can see a left and a right turn. Which shall I take?

I have to check the both sides. First i went right. I walked few steps further and then two men came in my sight. I have to ask them. I walked closer and then a very bad smell reached on my nostrils. The two men already has turned their faces towards me. Suddenly I realised that these two men are not in their senses. Their eyes were looking red. I'm sure they were using drugs.

I took few back steps but they were fast enough to grab my handbag. I screamed in fear and tried to pull my bag from their hold. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my waist and i fall back by holding my waist. The two men ran away immediately.

I touched warm fluid. I brought my hand near my face and then i saw blood. For a second I got terrified. My whole body started to shake in fear. They have stabbed me. I kept on lying there for few minutes. Then my trance of fear broke. I can't stay here like this. I have to move.

I stood up. My face scrunched in pain. I held my wound and walked forward. Now I'm not feeling that much scared. The worst had happened i guess. Thank God that they didn't stab me on my abdomen. Otherwise I could have died already. Their knife has made a cut on my waist. But i need to go to a hospital right now, otherwise this wound can get infected.

My kurta was already soaked in blood. I'm sweating heavily and my head was also spinning sometimes. I reached on the main road. Then i saw a car. I waved my hand. I know they can be wrong person but i had no choice than this.

I felt a kind of recklessness inside me. I called Riwaz but he didn't send help. I got scared way too much on the first place but after this stabbing my fear flew away. I'm determined to save myself.

The car stopped infront of me. A old couple was inside the car. Their face covered in concern after seeing me.

"What happened dear?"

The old woman came out of the car.

"Oh my!! She is bleeding!! Arthur, we need to take her to the hospital right now"

The lady held me.

"I'm fine mam..."

I whispered. The lady looked at me and then she caressed my head.

"You are very brave....come with us"

She helped me to get inside their car. She placed my head on her shoulder and started to rub my back. I got comfort with this.

"Thanks..."

My voice was barely audible. Before collapsing i heard her voice.

"Drive fast..she is bleeding...."

.

.

.

.

.

When I opened my eyes, i find myself in a soft bed. I tried to get up but got interrupted with a voice.

"Lay down...."

I saw the old man coming near me.

"How are you feeling dear?"

He asked me.

I found a bandage on my waist.

"I'm fine sir...but...who treated me?"

I asked him.

"My husband treated you... Arthur is a doctor"

The lady entered with a tray in her hand. She sat on the bed and gave me the soup.

"Myself Jane...."

She introduced herself.

"I'm Pari"

I said while grabbing the soup. I'm feeling really hungry right now.

"Where are you from Pari?"

"I'm... I'm from India"

"Oh great...now finish this...you will feel better"

I got really amazed after seeing the hospitality of this old couple.

"Thanks for helping me...."

"No need to thank dear....By the way what were you doing alone there? That area is not good....there is a slum and drug dealers and many goons roam there during nights....you should be very careful from now"

I got shivers while remembering the two men.

"Where are you staying?"

She asked me. I can't pronounce the name of the hotel. So i write it down in a paper.

"Can you drop me there please"

I requested them. They agreed to drop me to the hotel.

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

I got down off their car. I again thanked Jane and Arthur for helping me. They invited me for a dinner next week. I agreed happily. I actually liked them a lot. They are truly caring and lovable.

I got inside the hotel and took the lift. I'm still feeling weak. Artur told me that it will take atleast two weeks to heal the wound.

After reaching on the doorstep, i found it locked from inside. I knocked on the door. I didn't hear anything. So i again knocked. This time Mr. Khan opened the door. I was about to say something but he came out and closed the door.

"Ssshhh...Inaya is sleeping inside...Doctor told me to take care of her....she needs rest"

Mr. Khan told me in too much concern. I don't know why but it hurt me in some way. He didn't ask me how i got here. I called him few hours back and told him that I'm lost but it felt like he forgot about my call totally.

He took out his phone and called his manager. Mr. Patil reached immediately. I was feeling like to sleep but i was standing outside the hotel room. My wound is paining again.

"What happened sir?"

"Mr. Patil,,,Inaya is staying here...she got fever...I need to take care of her...can you arrange another room for Pari?"

He told Mr. Patil.

"But sir, this hotel is packed up..."

"Then arrange a room in another hotel...."

Mr. Khan literally yelled. I'm feeling like a burden right now. I gulped my tear in difficulty.

"Sir, it's 3:00 in the morning....i don't think we can get her a room right now"

Mr. Patil said.

"Fuck!"

Mr. Khan was looking frustrated.

"Umm...Mr. Khan...I can stay in the lobby...i will be fine"

I said finally. I don't want to become the reason of anyone's suffering. He looked at me with a frown.

"I'm sorry Pari... Actually I'm worried for Inaya...she got fever...Thanks that you are cooperating like this...I will arrange a room for you tomorrow...."

Mr. Khan said with a little embarrassed tone. Then he got inside his room. Mr. Patil was also looking embarrassed.

"Sir loves Inaya mam so much.... I'm sorry....mam you can stay in my room...i can spend the night in lobby"

I smiled this time.

"No need Mr. Patil....i can manage....you didn't know probably but i stayed in a slum....so this won't be a problem for me...."

He also smiled back at me but still he is looking embarrassed.

I walked towards the lobby. I got on the sofa and closed my eyes. I was extremely exhausted due to everything that happened. I instantly fell asleep.

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

When my sleep broke i felt so much pain in my waist. Arthur told me that it will pain a bit. I looked around and then suddenly my heart covered in pain. I'm missing my country. A sudden urge to go back there crawled on me.

"Pari...have you slept well?"

I find Mr. Khan coming towards me.

"Mr Khan...i...."

"Come with me....i have arranged a room for you to the hotel next door...."

He walked out of this hotel and i followed him. After reaching the next hotel, he grabbed the card and signed his name on the reception. I am feeling so lonely right now. I really want to go back to my place. I'm missing my home. I'm missing my bed.

"I think this will be fine for you....if you need anything, just call Mr. Patil...."

He placed the card on the table and was about to leave.

"Mr Khan...."

I called him. He turned his face towards me.

"I want to go back.....please... I'm not liking here...can you send me back?"

I asked him. A frown appeared on his forehead.

"What? Why?"

His expressions are saying that he is not liking what i just said.

"I don't know but I'm not feeling well here...this place is unknown to me...I can't stay here for one month....please send me back...."

"Have you lost your mind????"

His sudden yelling stopped my words.

"I'm paying you for all these... I'm not asking for any favours okay....you have to follow my every command for this one year.... I'm bearing your every expenses.....You are not in a position to like or dislike anything....You will do whatever i will tell you to do....If you go back there, again the media will start writing nonsense about me and i don't want that in any way....stop this nonsense drama of yours....this is my card....use it and enjoy this luxury for a month....stop saying such nonsense because I'm not torturing you.... I'm paying you and I'm expecting you to behave according to my wish"

I went blank after hearing his rude words. I was lost in this foreign place last night. He will never understand what i felt last night. And now this!!! I felt horrible. So i cried silently.

"Why are you crying??????"

He got more annoyed after seeing my tears.

"You want more money???"

He shouted out.

"Listen Pari.... everything is coming in line right now... don't spoil this okay... Inaya is finally with me and i don't want anyone to ruin it....We will go back in India for sure....just two more months...."

My eyes widened.

2 months!!!!

More tears spilled out of my eyes. He ran his hand through his hair in frustration.

"Will you stop crying please??"

His voice is so rude. I wiped my tears immediately.

"Inaya and I have signed a project...the shooting will be start from tomorrow.....we will be shooting here for two months....then the rest of the film will be shot in India...Please co-operate..."

His tone is now calm. I decided to not cry anymore. My life is sealed with him for a year.

"Are we okay now?"

He asked. I nodded my head.

"Fine...You can call Mr. Patil anytime...i will get busy in shooting from tomorrow....i don't think i can meet you after today....We will leave on 1st July....we will be meeting on my private jet....take care...bye"

He make his way out of the room. I went near the window. I looked out. Suddenly the image of Arthur and Jane flashed in my mind. I can stay with them.

They can give me some comfort. I immediately called them by using the landline.

"Hello...."

"Hi... I'm Pari"

"Hi Pari...how are you dear?"

Jane's caring voice appeared from the other side. I held my tears back. It's really unbelievable that I'm searching for comfort from two strangers.

"Can I stay with you for 2 months?"

I asked in a shaky tone.

"Why not? Come quick....We will be more than happy if you stay with us..."

"Thanks....."

My voice shook but i felt relieved.
