As Ayan saw the car speeding up in a particular direction, he ran in that direction. Ayan had rigorous strength training and fighting practice in the past as he was the mafia leader. But still, his speed was not a match for a speeding car. He tried to follow the car, but it soon went out of sight. But now, he had a direction. He knew that Myra was there, and the captive was none other than his old friend Manav. He continued moving in that direction and by the evening, he reached what looked like a big castle.
Ayan: What an idiot, he still thinks that he is the king of the world. He even has a castle of his own as well. Don't worry my friend. I have come now, and I will show you who the boss is.
Ayan mumbled and started scanning the security around the castle. He was trained in going incognito and raiding the place, but the place was full of security and now wasn't the time to show the bravery and get killed. So, he secretly invaded the castle through an isolated wall and started seeking the way through Myra's room. The castle was heavily loaded with surveillance, and it was difficult to penetrate the way. However, he already had checked the 2 floors and was now on the third floor when he heard a maid speaking to the other.
Brittny: Boss has ordered to give these clothes to the captive girl and ask her to come down within an hour. Go and give her these. And remember, she will try to convince you to help her escape. We have strict orders from the boss to not to talk to her, so just leave the dress and pass the information. If you want to live, then don't defy his orders.
The other maid nodded and left in a direction. Ayan knew he just have to follow the maid through her room and once the maid went inside a particular room, he started scrutinizing the area outside. It was not at all guarded since the guards were posted on the exits of the castle. Moreover, there was nowhere to run on this island. Ayan hid himself in the corner and when the maid exited the room, that's when he entered the room and locked it from inside.
The room was huge, and he heard muffled sobs from a corner. He saw a petite girl sitting in the corner bowing her head between her knees and crying. His heart melted at her sight. Her heart was in dilemma. It was happy to finally find her but was raging to see the circumstances in which he found her. He once again reminded himself of his failure to protect her 2 years back; he will not repeat the same mistake.
His eyes roamed in the room to see any sight of the surveillance cameras in her room but fortunately there was none. He moved towards the direction in which Myra was crying. She was so busy in crying that she didn't notice the approaching figure. He bent down in front of her, he was about to touch her when he was reminded of their situation and the possibility of Myra getting startled and scream on suddenly seeing him. So, he spoke slowly.
Ayan: Hey, Myra
But she was so lost in her crying that she didn't notice him, so he spoke again, this time, a bit louder.
Ayan: Myra don't cry please; I am here now.
She heard the familiar voice and slowly raises her face to see him. He eyes and nose were red from crying and her eyes widened after seeing him. She rubbed her eyes and mumbled.
Myra: Am...Am I dreaming. How can I see a person so similar to him, here?
Ayan chuckled at her response and spoke again.
Ayan: You are not dreaming. I am actually here. You don't have to worry now.
Last 2 years came back in her mind along with her betrayal. But she wasn't in the situation to think about that now. She was more concerned about the person in front of her.
Myra: A..Ayan, Is..is it really you? Why...Why are you here?
Ayan: Yes my love, I am here, and you don't need to cry anymore. I will protect you now.
Myra: No,no, you can't be here. This place is too dangerous. And they will not leave you alive if they know you are here, let alone to help me escape.
Ayan: Sh..Shhh my love, stop crying. Don't worry, everything will be fine.
Ayan immediately came forward and hugged Myra. The low sobs from earlier became sorrowful cries and Myra cried in his arms for some good minutes before she spoke.
Myra: Ayan, I am very scared. They are quite dangerous. I don't want to stay here.
Ayan: Yes, I know my love. And trust me, I will take you away from here, but I need time to break the security. The island is located remotely, and we need to wait for our backup services. It will take a few days.
Myra: No, I don't have few days. Manav, he has become a monster. I don't know what he has planned for tonight, but I am very scared. I want to go.
Ayan: That's why I am here. Listen to me carefully. Leaving from here will be difficult if we leave now. However, I have some things for you.
He took out a small package from his pocket and opened it to give a small packet and a device to Myra.
Ayan: Take this, keep this device with you all the time. And make sure it is hidden. With this, I'll be able to know where you are and listen to everything happening around you. I will keep an eye on you with this. As for this packet, there is an herbal concoction in it. It is very powerful. Consuming it in small quantity will raise your body temperature to alarming levels. You will feel weakness, but nothing more. There are no side effects, and you will be perfectly fine. But you need to act as if you are seriously unwell, and you need medical attention. Doctors on the island won't be able to detect the flu and thus, they will need to admit you in a hospital. The healthcare facilities here aren't very good so they will eventually need to transfer you in a hospital outside this island. And that's when my men will rescue you. But remember, it all depends on how you pull up the act now, since your health will be fine from inside, you have to pretend to have serious illness. You have to take it daily in very small proportions till the time they don't migrate you from here. I am powerless on this island, but we will rescue you. Understood?
Myra: I..I am scared. What if I get caught?
Ayan: No, you won't. You are smart; Myra and you have to pull up this act. This is our only way. And if, in any case, something falls out, then I'll get to know about it from this device and I'll come to your rescue. You have to trust me this time Myra. Do you trust me?
Suddenly they heard some footsteps outside; Ayan hid himself inside the washroom, the maid who gave her the clothes entered again,
Maid: Ma'am, do you need any help in getting ready? Or do you need anything?
Myra: No, I don't need any help. You can leave now. I will get ready in 30 minutes.
Myra clutched the herbal medicine and spy device in her hand tightly. The maid didn't doubt her hiding anything and left. Ayan came out of the washroom.
Ayan: That's like a good girl. Now continue this façade for a few days and don't forget to take this medicine daily. I'll come for you in a few days. Please trust me, I'll get you out of here. I'll go now, before someone suspects any intrusion.
Myra was still lost in gazing her Saviour. She wanted to run away with him as she wasn't brave enough to handle a monster like person, but she was wise enough to know what was right at the moment. So she bid Ayan bye with a promise to meet again after a few days and get determined to escape. God finally showed her some mercy and sent Ayan to help her escaping from there. She will not lose the chance and try her best to follow Ayan's Plan. As soon as Ayan left, she pours herself a glass of water and looks a small amount of medicinal powder with it. She was confident in Ayan's plan and now, she just has to act accordingly. She took a shower and got ready in the clothes sent by Manav. It was a simple knee length evening dress flaunting the slim figure of the person who wore it. She brushed her hair and look at herself for the last time, hiding the spy device in her bra (as it was the only place of hiding something in that dress and that too when she wasn't given any other accessories). She looked good. Soon a maid knocked on the door and opened the door to find Myra ready. She escorted her to the dining hall where a lot of dishes were kept on the dining table. Manav was still not there, and no one was present there except the maid who escorted her and Brittny. Brittny also bowed to her and informed her that Manav will take a few minutes to come so she can make herself comfortable. Brittny took the other maid with her and exited the room leaving Myra alone. The medicine had no effect on her till the time and she was worried of what will happen if the medicine fails?
She saw a butter knife on the table and kept it. As soon as she picked it up, she heard footsteps behind her. She turned around to see Manav entering the room with a dangerous aura. As soon as she saw him, she hid the hand holding the knife behind her and immediately looked down. Manav came and stand beside her, she was still looking down.
Manav: You look beautiful. It looks as if time hasn't aged you at all. Now, be a good girl and tell me what are you hiding?
Sweat immediately broke on Myra's head. For one moment, she forgot about the knife, and she thought that Manav may have suspected that she is hiding a spy device. Has she been caught? Has someone seen Ayan earlier today? What will she do now?
But fortunately, Manav grabbed her waist and bring her closer to him; she gasped and fell into his embrace. Both of her hands held his shoulder to prevent herself from falling and soon the butter knife came into the view. As soon as she realized, she dropped the knife from her hand and pushed Manav to maintain some distance between them. Manav didn't resist the push and look towards the butter knife which was now lying on the ground.
Manav: You seriously think that this can help you, my little dove?
Myra: I... I was just l...looking at it; I didn't mean to harm a...anyone.
Manav: Hmmm, I hope morning's lesson was enough for you, don't try anything stupid else you'll not like the consequences.
With this, he again caught her hand to make her come closer to him, but as soon as he touched her hand, he immediately came towards her and put his other hand on her forehead.
Manav: You are burning Myra. What happened? Since how long are you ill?
She was burning, but she didn't feel ill at all. She was even scared that the medicine might not have worked. But it actually worked, and now she just had to act as if she was extremely ill.
Myra: I..I don't know Manav. I just don't feel well.
Manav summoned the maid and ordered her to call the doctor immediately. He picked Myra up and carried her towards her room. Seeing the concern in his eyes, she was disgusted at his bipolar nature. One moment the person was torturing and scaring her and the other moment he was showing as if he cares for her the most in this world.
He laid her down on the bed and got a thermometer from the medical kit. The thermometer showed a temperature of 103.8 degrees which was extremely high. The doctor soon arrived and started giving her a checkup. As expected, he wasn't able to identify any cause and derived that it might be tiredness and stress. So, he suggested some paracetamol along with some vitamins. Myra silently sent a prayer to the god for sending Ayan at the right time. He once again saved her.
Manav was worried, he made Myra eat some food and took her medicines. She was compiled to take her medicines as Manav was himself giving her those and she didn't get an opportunity to dodge it. However, she was still thankful and was being obedient to Manav with a hint of vulnerability in her eyes. Manav trusted that her illness was real as there wasn't any way she could have faked her body temperature. Myra soon dozed off and Manav stayed in her room on the chair beside her for the whole night. When she woke up in the morning, he was still there dozing off on the chair. She felt bad for him but soon remember that he is the bad guy there. Manav kept caring for her for days and night, but her temperature didn't come down. The doctor was also clueless of her illness and as planned they finally decided after 2 days that she must be taken to somewhere with good medical facilities. Manav wasn't ready to let Myra go and insisted Kareem to abduct a doctor on the island.
Kareem: Son, I know you are desperate, but abducting doctor will not only create suspicious and enquiries, but also, he will be of no help if she needed aid of any medical instruments. The medical facility on this island is not at par and thus, it will be the right thing to take her there. We will choose a country where no one will get suspicious. I'll take care of her.
Manav: No Chacha, this time, I'll go myself with her. You take care of the matters here. If it's the only option, then we will go to Germany. Get our passports and Visas ready. Change our names and make us a couple. We will go there illegally, and I'll pretend that my wife got sick on our tour there. No one will suspect us then, make all the arrangements at the earliest.
Manav instructed Kareem and entered in the Myra's room. She was lying on the bed with her eyes closed. He assumed that she is sleeping. He went towards her and sat beside her.
Manav: Don't worry my little dove. I'll not let anything happen to you. I faced many difficulties to find you, and now when I have finally found you, I'll not lose you. Get ready for the Germany. I'll help you recover and then I'll make you only mine. That's a promise.
Myra, who was just faking a sleep clutched her hand tightly which was inside the blanket. Her hand held the small spy device. She was hoping that Ayan was there on the other side. His plan worked and they were moving out of the island, at last. Finally, he will be able to rescue her. She was hopeful now, and her only source of hope was one man she used to dread in the past, the one man who claims to love her more than anything in this world, the one man who had been occupying her dreams for the last 2 years, the one man whom she is still scared off, and the one man who calls himself the most dreaded on this planet.
Meanwhile on the other hand, the last 2 days had been quite eventful for Ayan and his team. Ray managed to convince majority of the families to be on their side in return of helping them to escape the island. San managed to establish the communication network with the outside world. That abandoned cave on the island had been the most happening place for the last 2 days. The plan was working accordingly. As soon as Manav will leave with Myra from the island, they will attack the island and destroy it. They will rescue the people who have come to their side and kill the rests. The island is the biggest drug farm in this world. Ayan, being associated with underworld, will face huge financial losses by destroying this island, but he was determined this time. He will not leave anyone who has dared to even think about separating him from Myra, let alone played a part in their separation.
He was ready too, and finally at the end of 2 days, he heard the news he was anxiously waited for. His plan was working accordingly. Manav agreed to travel to Germany with Myra. Finally, Myra will escape the island and they will be free to attack the island. It was late night, and he was finally at peace when Myra spoke through the spy device.
Myra: Ayan, if you are there listening to me, I want you to know that I am okay, and the plan is working accordingly. However, it has been 2 days since we met, and I need just one signal from your side that you are still there. Moreover, you plan is working accordingly, so what should I do now? They are taking me to Germany to admit me in a hospital. I have been fooling them here, but I doubt that I'll be able to fool the advance blood testing machines. I am scared, please help me.
Myra was talking to her spy device but as promised, Ayan was listening on the other end. He knew he had to meet her again to explain further plan to her. So, he planned to go to the castle again, this time, disguising himself in the clothes of guards because now they had some of the guards of the island on their side, so it wasn't difficult for him to adapt their appearance. Moreover, one of the guards stationed outside was also in Ayan's team and thus he helped Ayan get through the security checks in the early hours of morning of the following day. He stealthily entered Myra's room where she was sleeping peacefully. Her face was red due to the high blood flow in the body and her skin was burning. She was brave; she was pulling it off too well. It was just a matter of few days now and they will be together.
Ayan caressed her head slowly to which she woke up from the jerk assuming the hand to me of Manav's, she jerked the hand without seeing who the owner of the hand is.
Ayan: Hey love, calm down, we don't want to get caught now, do we?
Myra: Ayan, you are here. I know it wasn't in the plan for you to come here but I was scared. I don't know what to do ahead. Manav himself is going with me to Germany. It will be impossible for me to fool him there. What should I do now?
Ayan: Relax Myra, once you are off this island, I will handle everything. Blood samples will yield results in at least 6 hours even with the most advanced machines. By the time those 6 hours will be over, you will be away from him. Just take the last dose of that herbal concoction before arriving hospital and then dispose it off somewhere. Also, wherever you'll dispose off the herbal powder, find a good place there, and hide the spy device there as well. I don't want anyone to doubt you or hurt you. It is possible that the hospital might have checking of the patient before admission, so you have to be clean. And wait for me there, no matter what, don't try to escape even if you have a chance. I will come for you. If you will escape before I come there and Manav caught you, then our plan will fail.
Myra: Okay, I'll do as you say.
Ayan: I'll go before anyone wake up now. As per my assumptions, you will be leaving this island tonight.
With this, Ayan swiftly walked out of the room and from Myra's vision. She was still clueless about Ayan's plan, but her best bet was to trust him in the situation and let him help her. So, she kept following the plan. In the morning, Manav informed her about their departure on the same night. She was happy from within but didn't respond on this news. Manav assumed that the fever had completely broken down her and she is feeling too weak to react anything.
Soon the night arrived, and Myra was carried by Manav in his arms to the boat with a chopper landed on the helipad located on the topmost floor of the boat. She wanted to resist him carrying her down, but she was feeling too weak, and she had to put on an act of being gullible, so she had no other option rather than to comply. She was just silently praying for Ayan's plan to work. Soon the boat left the shore of the dreadful island and moved towards the unending sea.
On a silent and isolated corner of the island, someone was watching as the boat departed from the island. He turned back after the boat vanished from his vision into the sea and signaled the person standing in front of him. The person immediately called someone on his communication device. Both the men moved away from the shore, towards their cave and the darkness and silence consumed the island again. The difference was only that it was the silence before the storm.
