Chapter 43 - Chapter 43 : Message was too late

Aarav's POV

The next morning, I got an urgent call from the company.

"Sir, you need to return to Korea immediately. There's a critical issue with the Seoul branch — the investors want a direct meeting."

It wasn't easy for me to make this decision… but it was important.

I went to Bunny to tell her everything.

Aarav (gently):

"I have to leave… my flight's tomorrow."

She looked at me — her eyes said a thousand things her lips didn't.

Still, she didn't complain. She just nodded.

Bunny:

"Then let's meet properly today."

Such a small sentence… but so full of unsaid emotions.

That evening, we met — quietly, without many words.

We just spent time together. Her eyes held back everything her heart was screaming.

The next day, I left.

Two Days Later – Night Calls

Every night, we spoke on call — morning for me, night for her.

Her voice became my peace. My routine. My calm.

Call 1

Bunny (smiling on call):

"Mom made aloo paratha for you today."

Aarav (laughs):

"You're teasing me, aren't you? I'm missing all the good food!"

Call 2

Aarav:

"Just hearing your voice makes things feel okay."

Bunny (softly):

"For me, things are okay only when you're around."

These little conversations — they made the distance bearable.

A Few Days Later – Bunny's Arrival in Korea

I had promised her: "I'll come pick you up at the airport."

But on the same day, another emergency meeting popped up.

I had no choice but to attend.

Aarav:

"I'm sending a driver. Just come straight home, I'm waiting."

Bunny (on call):

"Fine, but you owe me."

Bunny's POV

When I reached the airport, I saw a man holding a board with my name: "Miss Aisha."

Bunny:

"Hi! Aarav sent you, right?"

Driver (nodding):

"Yes, ma'am. Please get in."

I didn't think twice.

But once inside the car, something felt… off.

Then suddenly, he said:

Driver (smirking):

"You didn't confirm… and now, you're with the wrong person."

Bunny (shocked):

"What?!"

He locked the doors.

My phone — gone.

That's when it hit me.

I was kidnapped.

Aarav's POV

In the middle of the meeting, my driver called.

Driver:

"Sir… Miss Bunny hasn't arrived. I'm still waiting."

Aarav (confused):

"What? But she texted me — she said she was on the way!"

I opened my phone — a text from Bunny:

"I got in. See you soon!"

Something was wrong. Deeply wrong.

I immediately asked for airport CCTV footage.

And what I saw… made my blood run cold.

That wasn't my car. That wasn't my driver.

But I recognized the man.

He was my old enemy.

Aarav (clenching fists):

"If you've touched her… I'll bury you myself."
