Sanskar's heart pounded in his chest as he navigated through the dark and narrow passages to reach the basement. The narrow corridors seemed to close in on him, triggering a wave of panic and claustrophobia that threatened to overwhelm him. Each step felt like an eternity, the darkness pressing in on him from all sides.
Amidst the darkness, Ragini's faint whimper reached his ears, igniting a fierce determination within him. But the claustrophobic surroundings only heightened his anxiety, threatening to suffocate him with their oppressive presence.
Sanskar's mind became a battleground of emotions, haunted by haunting memories of the past. Images of Kavitha lying lifeless flooded his thoughts, mingling with fleeting moments of joy shared with Ragini. The contrast was stark, each memory a painful reminder of the high stakes of the present situation.
"I'll save you, Ragini. I'm coming," he whispered to himself, his voice barely audible above the sound of his racing heart. But amidst the chaos, a single word escaped his lips, a poignant echo of past regrets and present determination.
"Kavitha..."
"Ragini, I'm coming."
With great difficulty, Sanskar reached the room where Ragini was tied, her tear-stained face a heartbreaking sight. Overwhelmed by relief and emotion, tears blurred his vision as well.
Seeing him, Ragini's tears flowed freely, mirroring his own. He wasted no time in rushing towards her, his heart aching at the sight of her distress.
As he reached her, Sanskar wasted no time in freeing her mouth from the gag, his movements fueled by a fierce determination to protect her.
"Sanskar," she whispered through her tears, her voice filled with a mixture of fear and gratitude.
"You're safe now," he reassured her softly, his arms enveloping her in a comforting embrace as they both found solace in each other's presence.
Their brief moment of relief was shattered by the sound of approaching footsteps, jolting them back to the grim reality of their situation. Sanskar acted swiftly, freeing Ragini from her bindings and helping her to her feet, though her pained whimper tugged at his heartstrings.
With a sense of urgency, Sanskar gently placed a hand over Ragini's mouth, ensuring her silence as they cautiously listened for any further signs of danger.
After what seemed like an eternity of tense silence, they cautiously ventured out of the room, their senses heightened with vigilance. With every step, Sanskar remained vigilant, his protective instincts on high alert as they navigated the dimly lit surroundings.
As they finally emerged from the warehouse, relief washed over them both, knowing they had escaped the clutches of danger. Hand in hand, they made their way to safety, grateful for each other's presence amidst the darkness that had threatened to consume them.
Anirban's anticipation turned into frustration as he reached the basement, only to find it devoid of Ragini's presence. Anger boiled within him, and he barked orders at his men, demanding they scour every corner in search of her.
"What happened here?" Anirban's voice echoed through the dimly lit space as he surveyed the scene, his eyes narrowing as he noticed his men tied up. Confusion mingled with fury as he questioned them about the identity of their assailant, his suspicions lingering on Sanskar.
"You fool!" Anirban's rage surged as realization dawned upon him, a cold smirk curling his lips.
"Sanskar, you were supposed to suffer. But it seems you've decided to play the hero instead."
With a sinister glint in his eyes, Anirban issued a chilling command, his voice laced with malice.
"Find them. Now."
