Chapter 21 - Smita in danger

Varun: Alright, let's start the match.

Actually, Varun was quite confident in his skills. He had never heard of Aryan before, so he didn't see him as a threat. That's why Varun challenged Aryan to a fight.

Aryan: Okay.

Aryan stood up with just one word, without showing any expression.

On the other hand, Varun was very cautious. So he made his first attack a powerful one. Within 2–3 minutes, he landed 20–40 kicks and punches.

But everyone was shocked to see Aryan standing in place, untouched. Then, Aryan punched the air—not Varun—and the sheer force threw Varun out of the fighting ring.

Everyone in the arena was stunned by the fight. They couldn't even figure out how Aryan had attacked Varun.

After this fight, Rocky Bhai and Varun happily accepted IMAA's control over the "Lion Group." The next morning, Aryan took a flight to Guwahati, and then an evening flight to his hometown.

It was 7 PM when he exited the airport. As he stepped out, he saw Kajol waiting to receive him.

Actually, Aryan had already called Kajol to pick him up when he was in Guwahati.

Then Aryan walked over to Kajol and said:

Aryan: Kajol, let's go.

After saying this, Aryan started walking toward the parking area. As they reached their car, Aryan said:

Aryan: Oh, you brought my beast to pick me up.

Kajol: Yes. I wanted to drive your car. And your car really is a beast.

Aryan: (in a serious tone) Did you enjoy it?

Kajol: Yes, very much.

Aryan: Then, drive it again.

Kajol: Really...

Kajol thought Aryan would want to drive the car himself since he hadn't really driven it properly since buying it. But Aryan still let Kajol drive his beast.

Both of them got in the car. Aryan placed his bag on the back seat. Then, Kajol started driving toward Silchar.

After coming out of isolation, Aryan hadn't spent quality time with his mother's side of the family. So, knowing that Aryan was coming back and had purchased ownership of the Cachar Club Hotel, they wanted to celebrate with Kajol, and Aryan was going to his grandmother's house.

On the way, Aryan's phone rang:

Ting... Ting...

After two rings, Aryan picked up the call without looking at the caller ID.

Aryan: Hello...

Caller: Hello, hello... Aryan, please help me...

(Actually, Aryan hadn't checked the caller ID)

After hearing the voice, Aryan instantly recognized it was Smita on the line. Just to confirm, he checked the caller ID and then responded:

Aryan: What happened, Smita??

Smita: Aryan, please help me. Manav and his friends are drunk and trying to grab me. They want to spend the night with me and ruin me.

Aryan: Don't worry. Where are you right now?

Smita: I don't know exactly. I came to a tea garden near Udharbond. It's located just past Udharbond. And...

Before Smita could finish her sentence, a voice from behind said, "Look, she's here!"

Smita dropped her phone. Before she could pick it up, Manav and his friends reached her. So, without retrieving her phone, Smita ran.

Meanwhile:

Aryan: Kajol, Smita is in danger. Manav and his friends are trying to molest her.

Kajol: Where is she?

Aryan: Smita said she's in a tea garden near Udharbond.

Kajol: There are two tea gardens near Udharbond.

Aryan: Barsinga Tea Estate and Chandighat Tea Estate.

Upon realizing this, Aryan and Kajol grew serious and started trying to locate Smita.

Actually, Aryan's hometown, Udharbond, is near the hills and surrounded by many tea estates. But Barsinga and Chandighat are the only two tea estates very close to Udharbond, and anyone coming there must pass through Udharbond.

Stopping in front of Chandighat Tea Estate, Aryan halted the car and began to use his skill. He closed his eyes and began to meditate. After a few seconds, Aryan activated his "divine vision" and identified Smita's location.

Aryan is a Level 6 martial artist with special abilities, but even he isn't powerful enough to easily locate someone from a distance like Udharbond. This shows the limit of Aryan's divine vision.

At Chandighat Tea Estate, Smita was running away from Manav and his friends. They had already torn her clothes, and she was trying to cover herself with torn fabric while escaping. All Smita wanted now was to get away from Manav.

After running for a while, she headed toward small tea bushes, and suddenly her clothes got caught in the bushes. One of Manav's friends came close, so she tore off the part caught in the bush to hide better. She sat under a tree, trying to hide behind the tea bushes.

Soon, Manav and his friends regrouped, tired. One of them said they couldn't find Smita.

Hearing this, Manav got furious and began scolding them. In a rage, Manav shouted:

Manav: Go and find her. Whoever finds Smita gets to spend two more hours with her.

Terrified and hiding beyond the tea bushes, Smita was trying to hold back her tears, feeling disgusted and broken.

She also thought about the relationship she once had with Manav, now completely destroyed.

While lost in these thoughts, one of Manav's friends suddenly shouted:

Manav's friend: Look, it's a piece of her clothing!

Manav: Then she must be nearby. I'm so excited to see her like this.

Then, they sensed someone's presence beyond the tea bushes and began moving toward it.
