40- Darling, calm down
It was night. Everyone in Pratap Singh Palace had fallen asleep, and Vaidehi was feeling very sleepy too.
Samrat picked her up very carefully in his arms. He then took her to the room, laid her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and went to the washroom to take a shower.
Half an hour later, he came out after showering and saw that Vaidehi was sleeping in a very strange way, which was nothing new; this girl always slept like that.
At this moment, her face was turned the other way, and one hand was on her pillow. Her beautiful, long, thick hair was spread out on the floor. Vaidehi's hair was long, reaching even below her waist, and Samrat was mesmerized by this hair.
He went over and, tidying those locks, tied them up in a bun. Then, tucking Vaidehi in properly, he laid down beside her and pulled her into his chest.
As soon as she snuggled into his chest, a sense of peace appeared on Vaidehi's face. The next morning, Samrat dropped Vaidehi at her coaching center and left for his office. There was some urgent work at the office, and after that, he had to go to college as well.
Meanwhile, Vaidehi went inside the coaching center, hopping and skipping, where Gayatri was already present. She looked much happier today because, in the evening, Sitam was coming to her house with his family. She had already spoken to her parents, and they had no problem with it.
In fact, her mother was proud of her daughter for falling in love with such a good man. However, no one knew about the pregnancy.
The two friends went inside, talking, and the whole day passed quite nicely.
In the evening, Vaidehi was standing outside with Gayatri. She had been waiting for Samrat for a long time, but he wasn't arriving. She didn't know why. She even called him, but he didn't pick up.
Just then, she received a notification on her phone, which was a message from Samrat-
"I am sending a car. I won't be able to come. A very big problem has arisen, I need to fix it."
Vaidehi replied "Okay" and then said to Gayatri, "A car is coming for me, you go ahead."
Just then, a car pulled up in front of Vaidehi, and the driver sitting inside said to her, "Madam, I apologize for keeping you waiting. I got a little late. Sir must have told you that I was coming to pick you up."
Seeing this, Vaidehi nodded and said, "Yes, he told me. Go on, you leave now. I am leaving too."
Gayatri left, and Vaidehi sat in the car. Soon, the car pulled away, and Vaidehi took out her phone and started using it.
But after a long time, when the car didn't stop, she was a bit surprised, put her phone aside, and started looking around. Then she asked the driver, "We should have reached home by now. Our house isn't that far. Why is it taking so long?"
Saying this, she looked around, and this place seemed unfamiliar to her.
The driver said, "Madam, this is another route. There was too much traffic jam on the previous road, so I brought you this way."
Before Vaidehi could say anything more, suddenly someone grabbed her hair from behind and placed something on her mouth. Gradually, darkness began to shadow Vaidehi's eyes.
A few hours later, Vaidehi slowly opened her eyes and looked around. Her hands and feet were tied. She was breathing heavily.
This was perhaps an old apartment in an old building. She could also smell a foul odor from nearby. Perhaps this building had been closed for many days.
Just then, a man's face came in front of her sight.
That man was looking at her with lustful eyes.
He held a protection packet in his hand.
Taking it out, he said, "I have to take you to the boss in a few hours, but before that, I want to have some fun with you. I swear, no one will hurt you. You will be delivered to him safe and sound. You will enjoy a lot with me."
Saying this, the man climbed on top of Vaidehi and, while untying the rope tied to her feet, said, "You are very beautiful. You don't even have a clue that you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen to this day. And this long hair of yours... I feel like drowning in it."
Hearing this, Vaidehi turned her face away in disgust. She felt like vomiting. Looking at this man and just by his touch, a strange anxiety began to stir in her stomach. It felt like she would throw up all the food she had eaten.
She said in disgust, "I am married. Please don't touch me. Leave me alone, let me go."
Hearing this, the man laughed and said, "You are married, that is why we got this opportunity. Otherwise, if the boss found out that someone had already touched his 'possession', it would have been very difficult for me to acquire you."
Hearing this, Vaidehi said through tears, "Please let me go. Don't do all this with me. I love my husband very much. If he finds out, he won't spare you."
Hearing her, the man pulled her *dupatta* and said, "Arrey, no one will know anything. Doesn't your husband try outside sometimes? How long can one eat home-cooked food? Try me once, I will show you paradise."
Hearing the man's dirty words, Vaidehi felt like vomiting even more. And this time, she actually threw up on that very man.
The man, in anger, slapped Vaidehi hard on her cheek and shouted, "Disgusting girl! What have you done?"
Saying this, he started cleaning himself in a hurry.
**What will happen next? Will Vaidehi be able to save herself? Will Samrat come and rescue Vaidehi? What will happen when Samrat finds out that someone has touched his wife, who is dearer to him than his own life?**
**And Samrat is a man who never spares those who harm the innocent. If this man has tortured his wife this much, how will he spare him?**
**To know, keep reading.**
It was nighttime. Samrat was driving furiously on the highway, repeatedly checking the location on his phone.
He had found out just a short while ago that Vaidehi hadn't reached home. Gayatri had mentioned that a man had come to pick her up, even though the driver Samrat had actually sent had met with an accident.
It was clear-his wife had been kidnapped.
He wondered how much pain she must be in. Samrat's heart was racing with anxiety. He could feel that Vaidehi was in great agony, calling out for him, crying.
Meanwhile, Vishwaraj had already started searching for his daughter. Sitam, along with his men, was also looking for her. Raghav Ji, Rukmini Devi, and Inaya were all deeply distressed.
Inaya was crying. After 20 long years, she had found her daughter, and now the news of her kidnapping was no less painful than death for her.
On the other side, that man came out of the washroom and, while untying the ropes on Vaidehi's hands, said angrily, "Clean all this mess and go take a bath quickly. You dirty girl, you've made everything filthy. Otherwise, I'll give you two more slaps."
Vaidehi got up, trembling, and said, "I'll go take a bath right away."
The man left, and Vaidehi first cleaned up the mess. Then, she went inside the washroom, washed her face, and started scrubbing her hands repeatedly with water, specifically where the man had touched her, trying to wash away every sensation of his touch.
Those areas had turned red. She was scrubbing them so hard, as if she wanted to erase every trace of that man's touch from her body.
Crying to herself, she thought:
"Samrat Ji... where are you?" As she thought this, her attention fell on a small window made of glass. She felt she could escape from there.
Happy with this thought, she quickly climbed onto the commode and started trying to open the window.
Meanwhile, Samrat's car was speeding through the jungle, and he was repeatedly looking at his phone.
In reality, he had fitted a device inside Vaidehi's body, which was implanted during her operation. He knew he had many enemies, and eventually, someone would attack his weakness. Today, that very thing was proving useful.
On the other side, the man shouted, "How much longer will you take? Come out quickly!"
Hearing this, Vaidehi said, "Yes, I'm coming. Just using the washroom."
The man said angrily, "How long she takes!"
Just then, someone started knocking on the door.
Hearing this, the man said angrily, "Who has come at this hour?"
Saying this, he went and opened the door, only to stagger back in fear upon seeing a dangerous-looking man standing there.
That man was wearing a bike helmet, and his attire consisted of a coat and pants, as if he had just stepped out of a business meeting.
But the aura of that man was such that it could make even the toughest men tremble.
The man was terrified.
Before he could understand anything, the man in front grabbed him by the throat and said,
"Goodbye."
A few moments later, the washroom door opened.
Vaidehi turned back in panic. She had managed to open the window halfway. But seeing a familiar face in front of her, she was stunned, and tears of joy streamed from her eyes.
Samrat was standing there.
She ran and climbed into Samrat's arms, crying her heart out. She sobbed, "He touched me here, and here too. He wanted to force himself on me."
Hearing this, Samrat took her in his arms and, while walking out, said, "Darling, calm down. Let's get out of here. Both your mothers are waiting for you. And forget about this right here. Today, I have a very sweet surprise for you."
Vaidehi wanted to tell Samrat many things, but perhaps Samrat didn't want to hear them.
But for her, it was enough that Samrat had come and saved her.
She hadn't thought Samrat would find her so quickly and that she would be rescued so easily.
Truly, she was very lucky to have a husband like Samrat.
She hadn't even kept any special fasts, yet she had been blessed with such a great husband.
A few hours later...
At Pratap Singh Palace, Inaya was hugging Vaidehi and crying.
The blue bruises from the slaps were clearly visible on Vaidehi's cheeks, and there were injuries on several parts of her body. The doctor had just finished dressing her wounds. But before that, Vaidehi had taken a bath to erase the bad sensation from her body.
She had become quite weak due to constant vomiting. Because of this, Inaya and Rukmini Devi had helped her put on a saree. At that moment, Rukmini Devi was feeding her, and Inaya was holding her and crying.
Inaya pulled her to her chest and said, "I found my child after so many years. I don't know who that scoundrel was. A mother's curse will haunt him."
Hearing this, Vaidehi said, "Mom, I am fine now. Please stop crying. I need to rest."
Just then, Samrat came near her, picked her up in his arms, and said, "That's enough now. You guys go and rest. You have found Vaidehi, haven't you? No need to cry anymore."
Saying this, he went inside, and Inaya just kept watching him.
"How stern this man is."
Entering the room, Samrat sat Vaidehi on the sofa. He took out a glass bowl and a small vial from his pocket.
Then, he poured the red liquid from the vial into the bowl, took out a brush, and placed Vaidehi's foot in his lap. He started applying *Alta* (red dye) to her feet.
Seeing this, Vaidehi said, "So much has happened, and you are putting *Alta* on my feet?"
There was a dangerous smile on Samrat's face, because this was not *Alta*.
This was the blood of the man named Kabir, who had caused pain to his life.
On the other side, Rudra reached the apartment and shouted in anger, "You can't even do one job properly, Kabir!"
Saying this, he was stunned to see the sight in front of him.
In front of him, Kabir's mutilated body was hanging. Parts of his body were missing, and there was no blood left in him.
Looking at it, Rudra said, "Meaning, that man is very dangerous. Even more than I imagined. I salute you, Samrat Pratap Singh. You are a butcher, just like me."
"You first drained his blood, then removed his organs and donated them, and after that, you cut him up and hung him here... just to show me."
