The weather was clear and the boat was sailing with the light of the day. A few hundreds of people who were rescued from the island were silently praying to god for giving them a second opportunity and suddenly the water shook and the boats waved. The water was waving tides as if something has happened somewhere in the water and it was pretty clear what has happened. The bomb implanted on the island has exploded and the island has breathed its last. There wasn't any way to check what happened on the island as the bomb enraptured all the manmade connections of the place. The island, which was once the factory for majority of the drugs dealt in the world, has been exploded and the people who planned their explosion were not as happy as they should be. On one of the two ships, the environment was of anger and cluelessness.

Keshav: Boss, what should we do now? We are sure that the island is not there now, to protect Manav. But we still don't know where he is right now.

San: Boss, is it possible that Manav came to know about the spy device and changed his plan last moment? What if madam is also in danger?

Ayan: It is definitely possible. But I don't think it is unplanned. I'm sure that there is a mole among us. Find that mole on the other boat and we will know where he is.

Ray: But boss, we contacted a lot of people on the island and some of the people were actually quite faithful to Manav. What if someone on the island had doubted our intentions and reported into Manav. We are not sure if the mole is currently with us. After all, no one knew our plan except us.

Ayan: So, what should I do God damn it. Find them. Find them, anyhow.

Keshav: B..boss, there is another possibility. What if madam changed her mind and decided to run away from you again?

Ayan was already enraged, and Keshav's words were like a bomb for him. His eyes were burning with fury.

Ayan: We will only find that out when we will find both of them. Do anything but I want both of them. I want Myra, alive and unharmed and I want Manav, alive or dead. It's time to show who the boss is. Inform all the local mafias of the world that their mafia boss is currying some favors. Whoever will find the whereabouts of both of them will be rewarded with unreasonable power and money. Their wishes will be fulfilled. Their price will be named by them. Inform each and every big and small gang about the search operation. And call the pilot of the chopper here, now.

Keshav called the pilot who was preparing chopper for the flight, unaware of the cancelled trip.

Pilot: Yes boss, we are ready to leave.

Ayan: Tell me, as per the fuel tank of an average sized chopper, what is the range of distance it can cover in one go?

Pilot: Boss, as per normal measurements, the chopper can continue flying up to 6 hours but will have to take a break after that.

Ayan: So, if the chopper has started from here at 12 noon, then it will have to have a refill by 6 in the evening, right?

Pilot: Yes, boss.

Ayan: Keshav, mark all the areas in the map which can be a potential landing area for the chopper for getting a refill. Myra wasn't well in Manav's eyes. So there are only 2 possibilities. Either Manav will take her to a hospital in some countries out of our marked locations, or Myra has fucked up our plan. In either way, someone's going to die tonight.

Keshav, Ray and San get back to work and deduced a list of potential area where they will have to land. Also, all the local and international mafia gangs were informed about the search party. Being at the top of food chain has its own benefits for a mafia boss. Ayan had a lot of power. Power which he didn't wanted to use till it's very important. But now, he was not ready to accept defeat. He will win this time and this time; he will give the final judgement. Soon, people all over the world started the search operation. The boat was moving towards UK at a fast pace, but their destination was still 20 hours away and thus, they decided to continue their search operation from the boat only. Soon, the darkness engulfed the sky, and the moonlight became the only source of distant light. There wasn't any news from anyone regarding the current whereabouts of Manav and Myra. The only thing which was now sure was that they never landed in Germany.

The night passed away and the light from the sun was glowing brightly over the water, making the water shine brightly. It was then that they receive their first clue. A local goon contacted them to inform that they have suspected someone matching the description travelling to Havana. Also, the same person has contacted someone in Russia to prepare fake Russian IDs. They have informed the other party to get the IDs ready by tomorrow as they will be reaching there tomorrow night. Ayan immediately deputed his men located in Cuba to get more information about the people. Their boats were near Gulf of Mexico and thus, they decided to take chopper and reach Cuba immediately. Ayan had his men spread in all the major countries and thus, he need not worry about any workforce at any place. His force was ready, and he just had to go there. So, he boarded the chopper with Keshav and both of them left for Havana.

Meanwhile, Manav and Myra were sitting in a streamer and were on their way to Havana. Myra's temperature was completely normal now as she didn't take any medicine after leaving the island. And they were travelling continuously without rest to defy the people searching them. Manav already had a clue that someone is searching for them and thus, they decided to go incognito with their rescue.

Myra: Manav, didn't you say that no one will come for us here? Why are people searching us? And moreover, weren't we leaving Mexico after getting our IDs? Why are we going to Havana like this?

Manav: Myra, Ayan is quite clever. You know that he is a mafia boss, right? So, he has a lot of men at his disposal. He is using all his force to search us. If we stay in Mexico for more time, then they would have caught us. Moreover, don't forget that India is the home country of Ayan and he will find you with a snap of his fingers.

Myra: If escaping Ayan is so difficult, then let it be. I'll not escape. Just help me reach India and go wherever you want; I'll handle the situation on my own. Moreover, it's your life that Ayan is after, he won't harm me.

Manav: Do you really think that he won't know that you have betrayed him?

Myra: How....How do you know that I have betrayed him?

Manav: You think I'm that dumb. I know you got help from him when you were at the island. Why do you think I let you go without getting treated for such a high temperature?

Myra: But how do you know?

Manav: I'm a clever man, I figured it out Myra.

Myra: And you aren't angry with it? If you are fine with it then why did you kidnap me in the first place?

Manav: I wasn't fine with it at first. But then I understood why you so badly want to take his help. Honestly, that changed something in me, and I wanted to let you go. I already planned to let you go before leaving that island. That's why we left. However, that doesn't matter right now. I'm not able to connect with Kareem chacha who was on the island. Once I get connected with him, I'll figure out a way to see your family in secrecy. Till then, you'll have to cooperate.

Myra wasn't able to connect dots. There was something wrong behind Manav's behavior. It seems as if he had a change of heart over one night. But she didn't really have an option. The moment her fear overpowered her, and she threw away the spy device, she was on her own. She didn't know anyone nearby and she didn't have any other option except trusting Manav.

Somewhere in her heart she was guilty of leaving Ayan hanging in the middle. But she knew, that Manav's current state is because of her only and if he really wanted a second chance, then she should help him with it.

By the evening Manav, Myra and Ayan, Keshav reached Havana and began their hide and seek operation. Manav and Myra were hiding from all the search parties, which according to Manav were sent to search and kill them. Manav told Myra that Ayan never intended to save Myra and he always seeks his revenge in the harshest way. He would have first rescued Myra, then tortured and killed her. After all he was the head of Mafia of the whole wide world and it was natural for him to torture and kill. Myra somewhere knew Ayan's dangerous side and was sure that even though he saved the people from shelter home, he still is powerful enough to find her on a remote island. He was searching for her for the past two years and his intentions were not all pure. She ran away from him 2 years back and it won't surprise her if he intended to kill her. However, she wasn't afraid of Ayan, not when he fulfilled his promise and save the shelter home, but she wanted to help Manav in getting a second chance. As soon as Manav is safe, she intended to head back to India. Ayan will get to know even if she sets a toe on Indian grounds, but she wasn't afraid of him anymore. She will see her family and face Ayan head on. If fate will favor her, then she will definitely be able to go far away and live rest of her life peacefully. But now, everything was in the hands of God and she only hoped for the best.

Manav and Myra reached a small cottage in the middle of the forest and Manav informed her that they will be staying in the cottage till the time they get their IDs, which will take a maximum of 2 days. Myra was tired from all the travelling and thus she decided that she needs to rest and head on to a room to take a nap. Manav head outside for a while to check the nearby area. He covered a considerable area from the cottage and after making sure that he was at a good distance from the cottage, he pulled out a cell phone like device from his shoe and called someone while giving a sinister smile.

Manav: Chacha, are you all right?

Kareem: Yes son, I'm fine. We left the island just in right time. It has blown away in the pieces.

Manav: Good, how many people have you managed to bring with you?

Kareem: Not quite a lot. Your instructions were vague. You wanted me to take a few people and abandon the island as soon as you depart. I didn't understand a thing. I'm in the middle of the ocean right now. Will you care to tell me what happened?

Manav: 2 days ago, Brittany informed me about a sudden change in Myra's behavior. She was quite obedient and once when Brittany entered her room, she was walking leisurely. For a person with such a high temperature, it was a difficult task. I got suspicious at that time. Something was off. So, I called a specialist doctor from UK and got her blood sampled delivered to him. He tested and found out about the drug which caused her temperature to rise. Now, there was no way a mere nun will be carrying a drug that special with her, so someone must have helped her, and it didn't take me long to guess who is actually behind it. I set a trap and told her about our trip to Germany. And fortunately, she called Ayan to help her again. This time, I was ready. I already implanted a bug in her room, and I listened to their conversation. I knew Ayan will make a move only when Myra will leave the island. Ayan is a powerful man, and it would be foolish to face him head on when he had a big army at his disposal. We may have trapped and killed him on the spot but then his men would have attacked us. He may be on our island where we had an upper hand but still, we weren't aware of how many of his men have managed to infiltrate our security and entered the island. So, I decided to defeat him in his own game. I knew we had to let go of that island. Ayan must think that his plan was working. My only challenge was to get Myra in my team. If she hadn't been convinced of my guilt-stricken act, then I would have to force her which would have become difficult since whole world is searching for her right now. I have brought her here in Cuba just to divert their attention. We will be taking off for Iceland tomorrow. Iceland is free from mafia rule due to its unfavorable location. Ayan will never even imagine for us to be in hiding there. I already have our IDs and marriage certificate as Iceland's citizens. My plan is full proof; she won't know where I am taking her. And you also travel through sea only towards Iceland. Otherwise, Ayan won't leave anyone. He already knows that you were working with me. Either go in hiding for some years or come with me to Iceland.

Kareem: Great plan son. But tell me one thing. Is this girl really worth it? She has destroyed you once, she can do it again as her mad lover boy won't rest until he finds her.

Manav: Chacha, more than love, it's a challenge now. And I won't accept defeat, not when I'm so close. So, tell me, will you come with me?

Kareem: I'm in too much love with the city vibes. I can't settle in anything remote. You go and have fun with that girl. I'll manage myself. If you need anything in the future, you know where to find me. It was some hell of a time with you.

Manav: If this is your final decision then I'll respect it. Live your life chacha. You really helped me a lot. Goodbye.

Kareem: Goodbye son.

Manav disconnected the call and with the call, his final link to the world also ended. His smile grew sinister, and he smirked evilly while recalling his devilish acts. How he fooled Myra to take her with him; how he fooled everyone on the island and sacrificed them in a blink of an eye to save his life and how he dodged the people searching for him. He had become pure evil, and he no longer was someone who can be redeemed. He was now ready to put everything at stake in his end game.

He turned around and went back to the cottage where Myra was still sleeping, he came near her bed and caressed her head, his shrewd and evil expressions immediately changed into the innocent ones, and he stared at Myra lovingly. Feeling Manav's touch, Myra stirred in her sleep and wake up slowly but jolted after seeing Manav in her close proximity. Manav immediately backed off.

Myra: You...You startled me, what were you doing by standing this close to me?

Manav: Hey, relax; I came here to wake you up to get something to eat. You haven't had a proper meal since morning, and you must be hungry. Moreover, we should eat and sleep, we have to move again tomorrow.

Myra: Yeah right, are our passports ready?

Manav: They will be, by tomorrow. Now freshen up, I'm waiting for you in the dining room. Let's have dinner and sleep.

Myra: Sure, just give me 5 minutes.

Myra freshens up and went to the dining room where Manva was already seated in the front of the food which they get on their way to the cottage earlier that day. Manav had already heated the food and served it in two parts. Myra sat beside him, and they started eating in silence.

Manav: Myra, you know what, I think it's entirely my mistake that you are in this mess today. Had I not requested you to help Ayan with his studies, this day would never have arrived.

Myra: Let go of the past Manav. One thing which I have learnt in last 2 years is that we can never live peacefully in the present if we keep caring about our pasts. I am happy that you decided to repent your mistakes.

Manav: You really are a gem, Myra. I hope that I can start correcting my mistakes by taking you to meet your parents.

Myra: You don't need to Manav. Just find your way and help me get the IDs to enter India. I'll handle the rest on my own.

Manav nodded his head in response, and they started eating in silence again. After eating peacefully, they called it a night and retired to their respective rooms to get some rest. Manav was resting in his room thinking about the last step of his plan and soon sleep took over him because of all the exhaustion of the day. Myra too was exhausted and wanted to sleep, but she was growing restless. She wanted to calm herself and thus moved towards the kitchen for some water. On her way to the kitchen, she saw Manav's backpack resting on the sofa. A light was glistening from its side pocket and Myra curiously moved to check what is it that's emitting light? On the side pocket of the backpack, there was a small pager, and a message was popping on the screen.

"Flight for 2 to Iceland at 9:30 pm tomorrow."

Myra: Iceland? Why has Manav booked tickets for Iceland when we are going to Russia tomorrow? What's happening?

Exploring further, she checked the backpack to find a file in it containing the fake IDs of Myra and Manav as the permanent citizens of Iceland married for 5 years and on a tour to Mexico for 5 days. Her head was spinning on checking the IDs. Something was wrong; Manav was definitely planning something else.

And in that moment, she regretted throwing that spy device and deceiving Ayan. She was regretting deceiving Ayan for the second time in her life. But it was in the past and in the present; she once again had to save herself. And she did what she thought was best for herself. She took some Mexican currency from Manav's backpack and ran. She ran from the cozy cottage to the darkness of the forest to save her life once again.
