81//✨ Unknown Trouble

While enjoying the third Kulfi, Jivika's eyes fall on Shivansh who is looking at his phone screen with an angry expression. So, Jivika puts the Kulfi on the plate and wipes her hands with a tissue before moving closer to look at the phone screen to see exactly what's going on. However, when she sees the waiter serving her the water she remembers how dizzy she has felt after drinking the water.

"Shiv, this waiter was carrying glasses of water although there are plenty of sealed water bottles on the side. I was busy talking to the guests so I did not pay attention to it then. But I remembered Maa saying that only juice and mocktails will be served to the guests by the waiters and if anyone needs water, they should get sealed water bottle." Jivika says making Shivansh to look at her who is watching the clips on loop.

"Rani Sahiba, I am sorry but we need to leave. Now that I have got clues to find the person who tried to take you away from me, I don't want to waste time to find that person." Shivansh says while Jivika nods her head. Because their family is in danger as they don't know exactly who is behind everything.

Shivansh and Jivika leaves the shop after paying for the Kulfi. They get inside the car and while Shivansh drives the car, Jivika makes call to Adwait and Ritika to let them know that they need to come to the company.

Some time later, the four of them are in the cabin of Shivansh while Yug and Lakshay are trying to get information about the waiter. But unfortunately, nothing can be found as if this person doesn't even exist.

"It seems the planning has been done very thoughtfully and because of this we are finding clues but we are not able to find out the loopholes." Shivansh remarks.

"Not only that, I am sure that Khanna is behind everything but he isn't alone. Someone is behind him who is well-hidden from us." Adwait says taking a sip of the coffee.

"Everyone knows that it won't be easy to trap Bhaiya. So, this time they have come together to put pressure on you by harming Jivi." Ritika says looking at Shivansh who nods his head in response.

All the while Jivika doesn't say anything. She just keeps on staring out of the window and thinks about her threatening Rudra Khanna. She remembers his stunned face, she remembers the two photo frames and finally she remembers seeing someone entering while coming out of his company building.

"Kis soch mein khoyi hui ho aap?" Shivansh asks standing beside.

(What are you thinking about?)

"Aap sab thik kar doge na?" Jivika asks looking at her husband who smiles in response.

(You will make everything alright, correct?)

"Thoda samay zyada lag sakta hai par hum sab thik kar denge. Bas aap kabhi himmat mat khona, chahe kaisi bhi situation ho." Shivansh replies petting Jivika on her head softly.

(It may take a little more time but I will definitely make everything right. Just never lose courage no matter what the situation is.)

"Oh God!" Lakshya exclaims worriedly while looking at something in his laptop.

"What happened?" Ritika asks going to stand beside her PA.

"Ma'am, see the waiter's face is matching with this person." Lakshya says pointing at the screen where a report is showing.

"But why are you looking worried? It's good that finally we have got to know something about the waiter." Shivansh remarks to which Ritika shakes her head.

"No, Bhaiya. It's not a good thing because the report that Lakshya has found is of a person who committed suicide two days ago by jumping from a newly constructed building." Ritika replies making everyone stunned except Lakshay who is chewing his nails anticipating what his boss is going to order him next.

"Are you sure that it's not fake, Tweety?" Adwait asks.

"As much as I want to say that this isn't true but the report isn't fake. The area where the case is registered, I know the on duty police officer of there and she isn't someone who will support anything wrong. But still, I want to investigate this matter because this waiter is the only clue we have found till now." Ritika answers making Jivika to think about the person whom she has seen in Rudra Khanna's company.

"I want to say something." Jivika remarks gaining everyone's attention.

"Yes, Rani Sahiba say whatever you want." Shivansh replies noticing the nervous look on his wife's face.

"When I went to Rudra Khanna's office, I had noticed two things. One was the red heels and another was Tara, your former PA." Jivika says looking at Shivansh whose eyes widen as if the sudden realization sinks in him.

"How can I forget about this important point?" Shivansh asks no one particular while rubbing his forehead in frustration.

"Bhaiya, you haven't told me yet why kept Tara as your PA for such a long time and then out of nowhere you throw her out of the company." Ritika remarks making Shivansh to let out a sigh.

"Tara was sent here as a spy by Rudra Khanna so I kept her as my PA to know everything she was doing. However, when she insulted my Rani Sahiba I couldn't take it any longer and threw her out of the company. But that day there was some craziness in her eyes as if she wouldn't keep quiet." Shivansh replies.

"But still, I don't understand how Tara can come into all this? I mean we are talking about the person who is responsible for giving Ketamine to Jivu." Adwait says to which everyone gets silent.

"Although everything is getting jumbled but I will solve them at any cost." Shivansh remarks looking at Jivika who nods her head with a soft smile adorning her face.

👑

As their six month anniversary is in a few days, Jivika wants to surprise Shivansh with a date. It's always Shivansh who gives surprises, but this time Jivika wants to surprise him too. Also, she has decided to gift him something special which will always stay with him.

So, with that thought in mind the next day Jivika has gone to the mall along with Ritika to buy some important things. But now Jivika is regretting her decision because Ritika has taken her to a lingerie store in the mall. While Ritika is showing options after options to her bestie, Jivika's face is totally burning out of embarrassment.

"Riti!!" Jivika calls out with gritted teeth.

"Yes?" Ritika asks with a big smile on her face.

"We have come to the mall to buy essential things, not for you to show me all these things." Jivika says pointing at the sets of different types of lingerie in Ritika's hands.

"You want give my brother a gift, right? Then I am telling you that he doesn't need any other gift. You wear these for him and believe me this will be the perfect gift." Ritika replies with a smirk.

"Do you brother and sister even know about something called shame? I guess not because both of you behave so shamelessly. I am really done with you." By saying this Jivika walks out of the store while Ritika chuckles and pays for the things in her hands.

Jivika then walks inside a jewellery shop which makes customized jewellery pieces. She gives her order for the gift that she wants to gift Shivansh.

"Rani Sa, should we deliver it in the palace?" The manager of the store asks politely.

"No need for that. I will personally come to collect it." Jivika replies as she doesn't want anyone to know about her gift before Shivansh sees it.

"Okay then it will be ready on the exact time you want." The manager replies to which Jivika thanks him and walks out of the store to see that Ritika is waiting outside.

"See, I have got everything." Ritika says showing the bags in her hands to Jivika who rolls her eyes.

"Have you bought the whole store, Riti?" Jivika asks frowning a little.

"No, but I think I should have bought more." Ritika replies making Jivika to hit her behind the head.

"Shut up and let's go to buy other things." Jivika says and tugs Ritika by the hand.

They shop for nearly two hours more before Jivika forces Ritika to leave the mall who wants to buy more clothes as if she doesn't have already. However, upon coming out of the mall they don't find their bodyguards which feels suspicious to both.

"Should I call Shivansh and let him know?" Jivika asks Ritika who shakes her head.

"Don't call just send a text stating that we two are alone. Bhaiya will understand." Ritika replies while signalling Jivika to follow her to the parking lot of the mall where her car is parked.

Jivika feels a chill feeling engulfing her as soon as they reach near Ritika's car as if someone is looking at her. But she doesn't turn around and gets into the passanger seat while Ritika gets into the driver's seat.

Just as Jivika takes out her phone out of the purse, Ritika drives the car in full speed making the phone fall out of the purse. But thankfully nothing happens to the phone and Jivika quickly sends the text to Shivansh.

"Jivi, you remember all the training that I gave you, right?" Ritika asks clutching the steering wheel tightly.

"Yes, I do but why are you asking this suddenly?" Jivika asks in a worried tone.

"Because I have a feeling that you'll need them. Just remember that no matter what happens you can't get scared. You have to fight to save yourself and maybe others too." Ritika replies with a hard expression on her beautiful face.

Jivika goes to say something but then their car gets hit from the backside making Ritika to lose her balance a little. Yet, she doesn't stop driving and looks at the side mirror of the car to see that two cars are following them or more like chasing them. Ritika goes to take out her gun but again the car gets hit from behind and this time she loses her balance making her head to collide with the steering wheel badly.

"Riti!" Jivika calls out in fear but Ritika has already lost consciousness while their car has stopped abruptly by getting slammed in a nearby tree.

On the other hand, Shivansh is going through the reports of the account department of the company to analyse the growth they have made in the rural areas. Just then he gets a text message from his Rani Sahiba so he puts the file down and looks at the message making him worried.

In the text, it's written that his wife and sister are alone. That means their bodyguards aren't with them. But how can that be possible? He remembers telling them numerous times to not go out alone. He first dials Jivika's number but when she doesn't picks up, he dials Ritika's number and again she too doesn't pick up the call making him more worried. So, next he dials one of the bodyguards number but when the phone is said to be switched off, Shivansh understands the gravity of the situation.

"Fucking hell. Nothing should happen to them!" Shivansh curses while again dialling Jivika and Ritika's number but he doesn't get any response.

Shivansh hurriedly walks out of his cabin while dialling Adwait's number and telling him what happened. In no time, he is driving his car to the direction of the mall where Jivika and Ritika has gone. He has ordered Yug to track the location of the mobile phones of the guards while Lakshya is tracking the location of Jivika and Ritika.

Shivansh has to stop his car suddenly when he notices some people looking at something in the side of the road. He quickly gets out of the car and when everyone notice him, they bow down in respect.

However, now Shivansh's only concern is his wife and sister so without greeting anyone he tells them to leave the place which they do instantly. Finally, when he notices the car and it's condition his fear comes true that his Rani Sahiba and Princess is in danger.

"It's Tweety's car but where are they?" Adwait asks from behind looking at Shivansh.

"I don't know but I think I have an idea." Shivansh replies running his fingers through his hair controlling his urge to destroy everything in his sight.
