Vivek stood tall, his eyes locked onto Anand's, as he handed over the documents.
Anand took the documents, his smile growing wider. "Thank you, Vivek. I appreciate your cooperation."
Vivek's voice was firm. "Just let Gayathri go, Anand. That's all I want."
Anand chuckled. "Oh, Vivek. You're so worried about Gayathri. But you don't have to be. She's safe and sound."
Vivek's eyes narrowed. "Where is she?"
Anand's smile grew wider. "Gayathri is actually at your house in Cochin. She reached there safely, about ten minutes ago."
Vivek's eyes widened in surprise. "What? How did she...?"
Anand shrugged. "I have my ways, Vivek. Let's just say that Gayathri is safe, and you can go see her now."
Anand's expression turned cold. "Don't ever mess with me, Vivek. You won't win."
Vivek's mind was racing. He couldn't believe that Gayathri was actually at his house in Cochin. He quickly pulled out his phone and dialed his home number.
As the phone rang, Vivek's heart pounded in his chest. He waited anxiously for Gayathri to pick up.
Finally, Gayathri's voice came on the line. "Vivek?"
Vivek's eyes closed in relief. "Gayathri, is that you? Are you okay?"
Gayathri's voice was positive. "Yes, Vivek. I'm fine. I'm home safe."
Vivek's breath escaped in a sigh of relief. "Thank God. I was so worried about you."
Gayathri's voice was soothing. "I'm fine, Vivek. Don't worry about me. Just come home. And where is Vaiga?"
Vivek's eyes opened, a smile spreading across his face. "I'm on my way, Gayathri. Vaiga is safe. We will be home soon."
