Chapter 22 - Love's Cruel fate

Roshni's mom and dad summoned her stepbrother, Humza Khan, to their side πŸ“ž. Humza arrived home and greeted his parents with a warm smile 😊. "Where's my sister Roshni?" he asked, his eyes scanning the room πŸ€”.

His mom replied, "She's in her room. Go talk to her πŸ—£οΈ." Humza nodded and said, "Okay πŸ‘."

He walked to Roshni's room and opened the door πŸšͺ. The sight that greeted him made his heart skip a beat πŸ’”. Roshni was sitting on her bed, tears streaming down her face 😭.

Roshni quickly wiped away her tears and composed herself as she saw her brother πŸ™…β€β™€οΈ. Humza's eyes filled with concern as he asked, "Why are you crying, Roshni? πŸ˜”"

Roshni remained silent, her eyes cast downward πŸ™ˆ. Humza's expression turned thoughtful as he said, "I just found out that your engagement was a sham 🚫. That guy was a fraud πŸ€₯. Isn't it better that you found out before the wedding? πŸ€”"

Roshni looked up at her brother, a hint of a smile on her lips 😊. "Brother, you're right πŸ‘," she said softly.

Humza nodded and smiled back at his sister 😊. He then turned and walked back to his room, leaving Roshni to her thoughts πŸ“š.

Meanwhile, Ayan arrived at his own home, his mind preoccupied with thoughts of Roshni πŸ€”.

Ayan's eyes blazed with fury as he stormed through his house, smashing objects and shouting, "Dad, come out! πŸšͺ" His parents rushed out of their room, concern etched on their faces.

"Ayan, what's wrong? Why are you talking to your father like this?" his mom asked, trying to calm him down .

Ayan's voice trembled with rage as he accused, "You sent those men to kidnap Roshni, didn't you? 🚫" His dad's expression turned shocked and hurt.

"No, beta, I didn't send anyone. Your happiness is everything to me ," his dad protested.

Ayan's eyes narrowed, confusion and suspicion swirling in his mind πŸ€”. If his dad wasn't behind the kidnapping, then who was? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Without another word, Ayan turned and stormed out of the house, leaving his parents staring after him in concern πŸšͺ. He made his way to Vivan's house, his mind racing with questions and doubts πŸ“.

Vivan's eyes widened in surprise as he asked, "Ayan, how did you end up here? πŸ€” Come inside, let's talk." Ayan stepped inside, his expression grim.

"It wasn't my dad who sent those men to kidnap Roshni," Ayan said, his voice firm. Vivan's eyebrows shot up in surprise.

"But he told me himself that he didn't send anyone," Vivan protested. Ayan shook his head.

"My dad would never lie to me. If he had sent those men, he would have told me πŸ™," Ayan explained.

Vivan's eyes narrowed, confusion etched on his face. "Then who was it? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ" Ayan's jaw clenched in determination.

"That's what I need to find out. Who is behind this, and what do they want from Roshni? πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ" Vivan nodded in agreement.

"But we don't have any clues," Vivan pointed out. Ayan's eyes gleamed with resolve.

"They didn't succeed in kidnapping Roshni this time, but they'll try again 🚨. Keep an eye on her, and update me on her every move," Ayan instructed.

Vivan nodded, his expression serious. "I'll take care of it. Don't worry." Ayan nodded, then turned and left, leaving Vivan to ponder the mystery πŸ€”.

A month had passed since the last attempt on Roshni's life πŸ•°οΈ. Ayan met up with Vivan, his eyes narrowed with concern. "Has anyone tried to harm Roshni again?" he asked πŸ€”.

Vivan shook his head. "No, nothing's happened. I don't think we need to worry about it anymore πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ."

Ayan nodded, his expression thoughtful. "Maybe you're right. Maybe he's given up 😐."

Meanwhile, Roshni and Harleen were enjoying dinner at a restaurant 🍴. Roshni excused herself to visit the restroom 🚽. "I'll be right back," she said with a smile.

As soon as Roshni stepped into the restroom, a group of men burst in, grabbing her and holding a chloroform-soaked cloth over her mouth 😷. Roshni struggled, but soon fell unconscious.

Harleen, oblivious to the danger, stepped outside to make a call πŸ“±. As she turned to go back inside, she saw Roshni being dragged out of the restaurant and thrown into a car πŸš—.

Harleen's eyes widened in horror as she took off after the car, running as fast as she could πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ. But the car sped away, leaving her in the dust πŸš—πŸ’¨.

Harleen was running as fast as she could, her heart racing with fear πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ. Suddenly, she collided with Vivan, who was standing with Ayan 🀯. Harleen stumbled and fell, but Vivan quickly caught her, holding her steady πŸ€—.

For a moment, Vivan and Harleen locked eyes, their faces inches apart πŸ‘€. But then Harleen pushed Vivan away and took off running again πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ. Vivan quickly grabbed her hand, spinning her back around 🚫.

"What's wrong? Why are you running?" Vivan asked, his voice laced with concern πŸ€”. Harleen's eyes were wild with fear as she exclaimed, "Let me go! They took Roshni! 🚨"

Ayan's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched in anger 😀. "Who took her?" he demanded, his voice low and menacing πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ.

Harleen pointed down the road, her eyes fixed on the red car πŸš— speeding away. "That's the one! They took Roshni!" she exclaimed.

Ayan sprang into action, jumping into his car and taking off after the kidnappers πŸš—. Harleen tried to shake off Vivan's grip, but he held tight.

"Let me go!" Harleen struggled, but Vivan refused to release her. "Where are you going? The car is already gone, and Ayan is following them. You won't catch up," Vivan reasoned πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ.

Harleen's eyes blazed with anger. "This is all your fault! If you hadn't grabbed me, I could have caught up!" she accused.

Vivan looked taken aback. "What did I do? I was just trying to protect you," he protested.

Harleen's expression turned bitter. "Ayan went after them. Trust him, he'll take care of Roshni," Vivan reassured her.

But Harleen was beyond consolation. "Let me go!" she shouted, struggling against Vivan's grip. Finally, he released her, and she took off running.

But in her haste, Harleen lost her footing and tumbled to the ground 🀯. She cried out in pain as her ankle twisted at an awkward angle.

"Ahhhh... why did this have to happen now?" Harleen moaned, clutching her ankle in agony.

Vivan rushed to her side, concern etched on his face. "I told you not to go," he said, shaking his head πŸ™„.

Harleen's eyes flashed with anger as she spat, "You're a curse! Ever since you showed up, my life has been nothing but bad luck 🀯."

Vivan's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Because of me? πŸ€”" he asked, his tone incredulous.

Harleen nodded vigorously. "Yes, because of you! You're the reason my life is falling apart πŸŒͺ️."

As Harleen tried to storm off, her ankle gave way, and she stumbled 🀯. Vivan quickly caught her, sweeping her up in his arms.

"What are you doing?!" Harleen exclaimed, her face flushing with embarrassment.

Vivan's expression was calm as he replied, "Shh, just relax πŸ™." He carried her to the car, opening the door and gently setting her inside.

As he got behind the wheel, he instructed, "Put your address in the GPS πŸ“." Harleen's eyes narrowed.

"Why? Where are we going? πŸ€”" she asked, her voice laced with suspicion.

Vivan's eyes met hers in the rearview mirror. "We're going to your house, aren't we? 🏠" Harleen shook her head vigorously.

"No, no, I'm not going! πŸ˜‚" But it was too late; Vivan had already started the car.

As they arrived at Harleen's house, Vivan got out and scooped her up in his arms once more πŸ€—. Harleen protested, "Let me down! I can walk πŸšΆβ€β™€οΈ."

Vivan smiled and replied, "Okay, okay."

Harleen tried to walk, but her ankle gave way again, and she stumbled 🀯. Vivan quickly caught her, his eyes sparkling with amusement.

"Do you enjoy falling?" he teased, a hint of a smile on his lips 😏.

Harleen's face flushed with embarrassment. "Shut up!" she muttered, trying to wriggle free.

But Vivan held tight. "You can't even walk," he said, scooping her up in his arms. "I'll take you inside."

He carried her into her house and set her down on the bed πŸ›οΈ. "Will you bear the pain?" he asked, his eyes locked on hers.

Harleen's eyes narrowed. "What are you doing?" she demanded.

Vivan's expression turned serious. "I'm trying to help you," he said, gently placing her hand on his shoulder πŸ€—.

"If it hurts, hold on tight," he instructed. Harleen's eyes widened in surprise.

"Be careful," she warned, her voice barely above a whisper.

Vivan gently grasped Harleen's ankle, rotating it to assess the damage πŸ€•. Harleen winced, her eyes watering from the pain. She instinctively clutched Vivan's shoulder, her fingers digging deep into his muscles πŸ’ͺ.

"It's okay," Vivan soothed, his voice calm and reassuring. "It's just a minor sprain πŸ€•."

Harleen's eyes narrowed skeptically. "Minor sprain?" she repeated, her tone laced with doubt.

Vivan smiled and asked, "Where's your medicine box?" Harleen pointed to the drawer. "It's in there."

Vivan retrieved the box and applied medicine to Harleen's ankle πŸ₯. As he finished, he announced, "I'll leave now."

Harleen nodded, her eyes already drooping with fatigue. "Okay," she murmured.

But just as Vivan turned to leave, he stopped and asked, "Can I have your phone?" πŸ“±

Harleen's eyes flickered open. "My phone?" she repeated.

Vivan nodded. "Yes, quickly."

Harleen handed over her phone, and Vivan saved his number πŸ“. "Call me if you need anything," he instructed.

Harleen nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. "Okay."

With that, Vivan departed, leaving Harleen to drift off to sleep πŸ’€πŸ˜΄.

Ayan's eyes scanned the road frantically, his heart racing with every passing second πŸ•°οΈ. He couldn't find the car with Roshni anywhere πŸš—. In a fit of rage, he stepped out of his car and smashed the mirror with a stick πŸ’₯.

Tears streamed down his face as he crumpled to the ground, overcome with grief 😭. He rocked back and forth, his mind consumed by thoughts of Roshni.

Just then, his phone rang πŸ“ž. Ayan's heart skipped a beat as he saw Rocky's name flashing on the screen.

Rocky's menacing voice sent shivers down Ayan's spine. "Did you think you could outsmart me? If you want Roshni to stay safe, come to the same rice factory where you first tried to rescue her. And don't try any tricks this time 😏."

Ayan's voice trembled with desperation. "Don't hurt Roshni, please..." But the line went dead, and the call dropped πŸ“΄.

Undeterred, Ayan jumped into his car and sped towards the rice factory πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ. As he arrived, he spotted Rocky standing in front of the entrance, a sly grin spreading across his face 😈.

Roshni lay unconscious beside him, her fragile form sparking a fierce protectiveness within Ayan πŸ’ͺ.

Ayan's voice echoed through the deserted factory. "Let Roshni go. I'm here. You don't need her anymore πŸ™."

Rocky sneered, "But if this girl weren't here, I wouldn't get to see you suffer 😈." Ayan's eyes blazed with anger.

Rocky continued, "You didn't even know it was me who sent those men to the restaurant that day. I used your dad's name to throw you off track πŸ€”."

Ayan's jaw clenched. "So it was you 🀯."

Rocky nodded. "Yes, it was me. And it wasn't just that. When Roshni's brother told you not want to marry her, you refused only because of him. I was watching you, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. But then I decided that killing you would be too easy. I wanted to hurt you deeper, to tear your heart apart ❀️."

Ayan's voice was laced with desperation. "Just leave Roshni alone. I'll do whatever you want πŸ™."

But before Rocky could respond, Roshni spoke up, her voice weak but determined. "It was you... you were behind everything 🀯."

Rocky smirked. "Yes, it was me. And just as I was about to succeed, Ayan's goons showed up and ruined everything 🚨."

Ayan rushed to Roshni's side, freeing her from her restraints. "Are you okay?" he asked, his eyes scanning her face worriedly.

Roshni nodded, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm okay πŸ™."

Ayan's face darkened as he pushed aside Ayan's men and pulled out a gun πŸ”«.

Rocky sneered, "Nobody move, or I'll shoot!" πŸ”«

Ayan stood frozen, his eyes locked on Rocky's gun. But when Rocky aimed at Roshni, Ayan sprang into action, wrapping his arms around Roshni and shielding her from harm πŸ€—.

The sound of the gunshot echoed through the air πŸ”«. Ayan's body jerked, and he felt a searing pain in his chest πŸ€•.

Roshni's eyes widened in horror as Ayan slumped against her, his blood staining her clothes 🚨.

Rocky's men pounced on him, wresting the gun from his hand and pinning him to the ground 🚫.

Roshni's face contorted in anguish as she cradled Ayan's head in her lap. Tears streamed down her face as she begged, "No, Ayan, don't leave me! 😭"

Ayan's voice was barely audible, his words laced with pain. "I... love... you..." ❀️

Roshni's sobs grew louder, her body shaking with grief. "Ayan, I love you too! 😭"

As Roshni's words faded into sobs, Ayan's eyes closed, and he lost consciousness πŸŒ™.

Roshni's cries grew more frantic, her mind consumed by the thought of losing Ayan. She too fainted, her body limp and lifeless 😴.

The two lovers were rushed to the hospital πŸ₯, their fate hanging precariously in the balance βš–οΈ.

Roshni's eyes fluttered open, and she was met with the concerned faces of Vivan and Harleen πŸ€•.

As soon as she sat up, she demanded, "Where's Ayan?" But Vivan and Harleen remained silent, their expressions somber 😐.

Roshni's eyes welled up with tears as she grabbed Vivan's collar, begging, "Tell me, where's Ayan? What happened to him? Please, say something!" Her voice cracked with desperation.

Vivan's eyes flickered towards the adjacent room, and Roshni's gaze followed. She leapt out of bed, racing towards the room with Vivan and Harleen close behind πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ.

As she burst into the room, her heart sank. Ayan lay motionless on the bed, his body covered in white sheets πŸ›οΈ.

Roshni rushed to his side, her voice shaking with emotion. "Ayan, I love you! You can't leave me! I won't survive without you!" She sobbed uncontrollably.

But then, a faint voice emerged from beneath the sheets. "Really?" Roshni's tears paused as she stared at Ayan in shock.

She slowly lifted the sheets, and Ayan sat up, a sly grin spreading across his face 😏.

Roshni's eyes narrowed. "You were acting!" she accused.

Ayan's grin widened. "How could I leave you? You just said you can't live without me," he teased, his eyes sparkling with mischief.

Roshni's face flushed with embarrassment. "Shut up!" she muttered, trying to pull her hand away.

But Ayan held tight, his eyes locked on hers. "And you said you love me..." Roshni " you shut up".
