Recap: Vishwanath’s men put explosives in Vikram’s factory.
*******************
Vishwanath’s men had already placed the explosives inside Vikram’s factory, hiding them in such a way that no one would suspect. At the same time, the prison’s senior officers completed their inspection rounds.
By evening, Vishwanath’s lawyer stepped into Akash’s cell.
“What’s the plan?” Akash asked immediately.
“Sir, tomorrow night you will be taken out of the prison,” the lawyer explained. “The SP will send the jailor to help you leave. You’ll be given clothes to change into and a mask to cover your face. I’ll be waiting nearby. The SP’s man will bring you to me.”
“Where are we going from here?” Akash pressed.
“Your father has told me to take you to his OMR factory,” the lawyer said. “On Saturday night, he’s made arrangements for you to leave the country via sea route.”
“Why should I leave the country? I want to stay here. I need my revenge from that Vikram.”
“Sir, don’t worry. Your father has already taken steps to do that. Before you leave, you’ll see the good news.”
“I’ll speak with Dad anyway. I don’t want to leave now.” Akash declared.
“Tomorrow you can speak with Vishwanath sir.” the lawyer replied.
Friday night – Prison
The SP himself came to see Akash.
“Akash, you can wear this dress,” the SP said, handing him the uniform. “There will be a power cut for ten minutes. I’ll send my man to take you out. Remember to sneak out without making a sound. There should be no suspicion from anyone. One hour from now, you’ll start moving.”
“Got it,” Akash nodded.
The SP left. Exactly one hour later, the power went out. Within two minutes, Akash had changed into the constable’s uniform. A man dressed as a constable arrived, quickly leading him out after replacing him with another person in the cell. They walked briskly and, within minutes, Akash was sitting in a car just outside the prison. His lawyer was waiting inside.
“Okay, let’s leave,” the lawyer said as Akash got in.
“Hmm. Let’s go home. I want to speak to Dad,” Akash said.
“Sir… sorry, but your father wants you to stay in the factory tonight.” the lawyer replied.
“Take me to my farmhouse and don’t inform Dad. Tomorrow I’ll meet him at the factory.” Akash declared.
“But sir—” The lawyer but Akash gave a firm glare.
“Do what I say. I have an important work to do. I can’t inform Dad right now. So take me to the farmhouse. Tomorrow morning I’ll reach the factory and meet him.”
“…Okay sir, as you say. But make sure nobody sees you.”
“Alright, I’ll take care of it.”
That night, Akash stayed in his farmhouse and called a few of his most trusted men. They spent hours discussing his revenge plans.
Vikram Mansion – Morning
The house woke to a peaceful morning. Over breakfast, Pranitha turned to the others.
“Sana, Kayal, get ready soon. We’ll leave for shopping,” she said with a smile.
“Are you sure you want to go without us?” Vikram asked.
“Yes,” Sana assured him. “Don’t worry. We’ll be safe.”
“Guards will be following you anyway,” Vikram added.
“Appa, I’ll go too!” Sara announced eagerly.
“Why, princess? What do you want to shop for?”
“Appa, you forgot? I want a Barbie doll!”
“Ohhh… okay, okay! I’m so sorry, sweetheart.”
“Please be careful,” Pugazh said seriously. “If you sense anything unusual, call us immediately.”
“Sure,” Sana nodded. “We’ll be careful.”
The girls got ready and left with the guards.
“Vikky, you should have stopped them from going today,” Pugazh muttered.
“They’ve asked for the first time,” Vikram replied. “How do you expect me to stop them or deny their wish?”
“Maybe we should wait for a while and then follow them,” Rakshat suggested.
“Vikram, it’s already 10 now,” Sharath reminded him.
Vikram nodded, considering both.
AV Mansion – 10:00 a.m.
Vishwanath called his lawyer.
“I’m going to the factory to meet Akash,” he said. “I’ll reach in an hour.”
The lawyer arrived at Akash’s farmhouse early in the morning, his expression tense.
“Sir, your father has already left for the factory. Can we leave now?” he asked.
Akash grabbed his jacket and followed him to the car. “What exactly has Dad planned?” he demanded as they drove.
“Sir,” the lawyer began carefully, “there’s going to be a major blast in Vikram’s factory. The idea is to frame him for dealing with explosives.”
Akash’s eyes narrowed. “What? That’s ridiculous.”
“Your father has arranged everything. It’s set to happen before eleven o’clock today.”
Akash leaned back, a cynical smile tugging at his lips. “Vikram can’t be underestimated that easily.”
“Don’t worry, sir,” the lawyer assured him. “The people handling this are very experienced.”
“We’ll see,” Akash said flatly. “Still sounds like a bad idea.”
10:30 a.m. – Vishwanath’s OMR Factory
Vishwanath reached the factory, scanning the area impatiently. But Akash was nowhere in sight. His face darkened as he pulled out his phone and dialed the lawyer.
“Where is Akash?” he demanded.
“Sir, we’re on the way,” the lawyer replied quickly. “We’ll reach in thirty minutes.”
Vishwanath’s tone sharpened. “Where did he go?”
“He stayed at your farmhouse last night,” the lawyer admitted cautiously.
A muscle twitched in Vishwanath’s jaw. “He never listens to me! Hurry up. He shouldn’t be seen by anybody.”
“Alright, sir,” the lawyer assured him.
10:30 a.m. – Vikram’s Factory
Vishwanath’s men slipped into the storage room where the explosives were kept. One of them pulled out a time bomb and set the timer for ten minutes before slipping away.
10:30 a.m. – Phoenix Mall
The girls roamed the mall with masks to hide their identity.
“It’s been a while since we were out,” Pranitha said, breathing deeply. “Feels so good to get fresh air.”
“True,” Sana smiled. “I feel so relaxed.”
“Amma, we shall buy my dolls first!” Sara demanded.
“Let’s finish shopping for Sara baby first,” Pranitha laughed. “Or she won’t let us shop in peace.”
Sana told the guards to wait at the store entrance while they went in. Sara happily started picking out her favorite toys.
10:40 a.m.
A deafening blast shook Vikram’s factory. Thick black smoke billowed into the sky, the sound echoing for nearly three kilometer. Firefighters and police arrived within minutes, sealing the entire area.
Akash and the lawyer, arriving nearby, froze. Seeing the chaos, the lawyer quickly turned the car around.
“That’s bad… very bad,” he muttered.
He called the factory security. The truth came back fast—there had been a massive blast ten minutes earlier, and Vishwanath had been inside. No trace of him had been found.
News channels screamed: “Huge explosion in AV Groups’ OMR factory – Owner Vishwanath presumed dead.”
10:50 a.m. – Vikram Mansion
“Clean finish,” Sharath said calmly.
“Good. Congrats, Sharath, for your work,” Vikram replied.
“I never expected him to be such a dumb ass.”
“You’re brilliant, man,” Pugazh grinned. “You used his own explosives to blow up his factory. Keep it up.”
“Our men are trained experts,” Sharath said. “But his men? They couldn’t even identify a fake bomb. I almost laughed when I saw him setting the timer on one.”
“What did you do with him?” Vikram asked.
“I’ve got him in our treatment room.”
“What’s our next move?” Rakshat asked.
“Tweet a condolence message for him… and let’s carry on with our work,” Vikram said.
Just then, Vikram’s phone rang.
“What’s the matter, Raj?”
“Vikram… Akash is out.”
“What???”
“I just came to know. He was taken out last night. Tighten your security.”
“Okay. Akash is out of prison,” Vikram said sharply, turning to Sharath. “Call the guards and tell them to be on high alert. Let the girls not know about this. We’ll reach them quickly. Come on, fast.”
They sped toward the mall, Rakshat pushing the car to its maximum speed. In the passenger seat, Sharath was on his phone, urgently calling the guards to be on full alert.
Meanwhile, in another part of the city, Akash’s fury was boiling over. He slammed his fist on the table.
“I said that was a stupid plan to target that bastard!” he growled.
“Sir, let’s leave immediately or you’ll be caught,” the lawyer urged.
But Akash wasn’t listening. He grabbed his phone and called the friends he’d spoken to the night before.
“Anyhow, there are no remains of my father for me to even perform his last rites,” he said coldly. “So I’ll leave the country tonight. Make arrangements for that—but not alone. Vikram’s wife will travel with me.”
“Sir, bad idea to do it now,” the lawyer warned quickly. “First leave from here, then we can plan this. By now, the officers would have discovered you’re no longer in prison. They might have already started searching. Every minute is dangerous for you.”
11:00 a.m. — Phoenix Mall
Inside the mall, the women were still in the toy store.
“Sara, how long will you take to select your dolls?” Sana asked, watching her daughter pick through the shelves.
“Just some more time, Amma, please…”
“No problem, baby,” Pranitha smiled. “Take your time.”
Finally, the shopping was done and they stepped out of the store.
“Pranitha, I’ll use the restroom,” Sana said.
“I’ll come with you,” Pranitha replied.
They all headed toward the restroom while the guards stationed themselves outside.
Inside, as Sana and Pranitha were fixing their hair in the mirror, a group of college girls approached Sana, excitement in their voices.
“Sana madam! You’re our great inspiration. A selfie, please!”
“Okay, sure,” Sana agreed, smiling as she posed for a picture.
More girls gathered around her, eager to meet her.
Seeing the crowd grow, Kayal turned to Pranitha. “Pranitha, you leave with Sara. I’ll stay back and return with Sana.”
Pranitha gave her a small smile and nodded before leaving the restroom with Sara.
Outside, one of the guards asked, “Madam, where is Sana madam?”
“She’s stuck with her fans,” Pranitha replied. “Kayal is with her. She’ll be back soon.”
By now, Vikram and the others had reached the mall, heading straight to the floor where the guards had told them the women were. As Vikram neared the restroom, he noticed a group of girls giggling as they walked away.
“Pranitha, why are you here?” he asked when he spotted her.
“Bro, Akash has escaped from prison,” Vikram said grimly. “Let’s go home. Where’s Sana?”
“She’s in the restroom. Kayal is with her.”
Vikram hummed, glancing toward the door. They waited for a few minutes, but Sana didn’t come out.
“Pranitha, how long does she take? Go check,” Vikram ordered, handing Sara to her.
Moments later, a scream tore through the air from inside the restroom. Pranitha came running out, pale.
“Bro! Sana is missing—Kayal is lying unconscious!”
“What? How is she missing? This is the only exit!” Vikram barked, his mind flashing back to the group of girls who had just walked out.
“Get those girls who just left!” he shouted. “Quick! Quick! Rakshat—take Kayal, Pranitha, and Sara home safely. Call me once you reach. Tighten security for them. Sharath—call our team. Pugazh—check the CCTV footage!”
Vikram bolted from the restroom area like a man possessed, scanning for any sign of Sana. But she was already gone—dragged away in a waiting car.
A few minutes later, Pugazh’s voice came through the phone.
“Vikky, those girls got Sana unconscious and carried her away. I’ve texted you the car number they used from the parking lot. Trace it quickly.”
Sharath gripped Vikram’s shoulder. “We’ll rescue Sana. Stay strong.”
“I want her back,” Vikram said through clenched teeth. “And I also want that fucking bastard.”
“Don’t panic. Make your plan. We’ll save her at any cost, man,” Sharath assured him.
“I will save her… Call the commissioner and inform him. Tell him to trace the car—quick. And there should be no news of Sana’s kidnapping in the media.”
“Got it,” Sharath said, already dialing.
Within minutes, the police were on the move, tracking the vehicle that had taken Sana.
The mission to rescue Sana had begun.
