Shivansh, Vedant and Yuhan were driving back home. Shivansh was feeling very helpless because he being the Hukum sa couldn't even take care of his wife. This was the first time when Shivansh was feeling so helpless.

Yuhan looked at him. " Shiv, don't worry. My men are all Rajasthan they will get some information about Kashi. " said Yuhan, " It's not just about that. It is the first time when I am feeling so helpless than I cannot even find my wife. " said Shivansh.

Vedant and Yuhan were able to understanding that Shivansh is the Hukum sa, he cannot be so helpless at any point in life.

In an unidentified location near Gujarat, Kashi was lying on the bed. She was unconscious right now. No one was there in the room, Slowly Kashi opened her eyes and then looked around. She slowly sat down on the bed.

" Where am I?" she said while holding her head, " In my jail." said Arjun while coming inside. Kashi looked at him. " Who are you?" asked Kashi, " Right now your everything. " said Arjun, " Oh shut up." said Kashi in an irriated voice.

She headed towards the gate of the room when Arjun held her hand and then pulled her inside the room. " You can't leave until I don't want." said Arjun. Kashi looked at him in anger. " You don't know whose wife I am." said Kashi.

Arjun chuckled. " I know, that's why I kidnapped you." said Arjun. He walked towards her. " Your husband wouldn't be able to find you. EVER." he said and then locked her inside. Kashi quickly ran towards the gate and tried to open.

But it failed. She sat down on the bed. " Hukum sa." she said while crying. A tear rolled down her neck. She moved her hand on her neck and noticed that he mangalsutra wasn't there. " Where is my mangalsutra?" she said.

Kashi was worried because she knew that there was a tracker in her mangalsutra. " I can't act like a weak person. I am the Hukum Rani Sa of this state. I have to be strong not for me, but for Hukum sa." she said.

After that she walked towards the balcony and scanned the whole palace. The whole palace was protected by guards. It was almost impossible to escape.

Pratap palace, Shivansh came inside. Akshita looked at him. " Shiv, where is Kashi? " asked Akshita, " I don't know. "

As Shivansh walked into the grand hall of Pratap Palace, the weight of his failure pressed down on him. The usually lively palace now seemed engulfed in a tense silence, with every servant and family member holding their breath, waiting for news.

His heart was heavy, and his mind was in turmoil, the thought of Kashi's unknown fate gnawing at him.

Akshita, who had been waiting anxiously near the entrance, saw the despair in her son's eyes and rushed to him. "Shiv, where is Kashi? Have you found her?" she asked, her voice laced with fear.

Shivansh lowered his gaze, unable to meet his mother's eyes. "I don't know, Maa. We've searched everywhere, but there's no trace of her." he replied.

Akshita's face went pale as her worst fears were confirmed. She clutched Shivansh's arm, her voice trembling. "What do you mean you don't know? What happened?" asked Akshita.

Before Shivansh could answer, Dada Hukum, Shivansh's grandfather, who had been quietly sitting in his armchair, spoke up. "What's going on, Shivansh? Where is your wife?" His voice was stern, but there was an underlying tone of concern.

Shivansh looked up at his grandfather, the man who had taught him the meaning of strength and honor. "Dada Hukum, someone... someone kidnapped Kashi. We were attacked during the cremation, and in the chaos, they took her. I couldn't protect her." Shivansh confessed with his voice thick in guilty.

The room fell into a stunned silence. Bhairav who had been pacing near the window, turned sharply at the news. "Who would dare to do this? Who has the audacity to challenge the Pratap family like this?" Bhairav demanded, his voice filled with anger.

Vedant and Yuhan, who had entered behind Shivansh, exchanged a grim look. " I suspect Arjun Sherawat," Vedant said, his voice low. "He's been plotting against Shivansh for a long time. And Mansi, she's been waiting for a chance to strike."

Dada Hukum's expression hardened, his age-worn face set in determination. "Arjun Sherawat..." he muttered, his voice filled with disdain. "That snake has always been a threat, but to go after your wife... This is a declaration of war." he said.

Anita, who had been silently standing in the corner, stepped forward, her eyes flashing with worry. "But what do they want with Kashi? What are they planning?" she asked, her voice filled with fear.

Shivansh clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white. "They know that Kashi is my weakness. They think they can control me through her. But they're wrong." he said, his voice firm.

Digvijay ji, who had been sitting silently, unable to process the news, finally spoke. "Shivansh, you have to find her. Kashi is strong, but she needs you. She needs us." he said, his voice breaking with emotion.

Shivansh nodded, his resolve hardening. "I will find her, Papa. I won't let them harm her," he promised. Prisha, Kashi's closest friend, who had just arrived at the palace after hearing the news, stepped forward.

"Shivansh, Kashi is not just your wife, she is my sister too. I know her—she will fight with everything she has. But she needs to know that we are coming for her. You have to find her," Prisha said, her voice filled with determination.

"We will. My men are already searching every inch of Rajasthan and beyond. We'll find out where they've taken her." he said firmly.

"Arjun Sherawat may think he's won, but he's underestimated us." Vedant added, his voice cold with resolve.

Dada Hukum stood up, his frail form still commanding respect. "We will bring Kashi back. This family has faced many challenges, and we've always emerged stronger. This time will be no different." he declared.

Bhairav placed a reassuring hand on his son's shoulder. "You are the Hukum sa, Shivansh. You will not let this stand. We will fight, and we will bring Kashi back." he said, his voice filled with pride.

Shivansh took a deep breath, feeling the weight of his family's support. "I will not rest until Kashi is safe in my arms again," he vowed, his voice filled with unshakable determination

Arjun's hide out, Kashi continued to assess her surroundings, she noticed a small gap in the balcony's railing, just wide enough for her to squeeze through. It led to a narrow ledge that ran along the side of the building.

"If I can make it to the ledge and climb down, maybe I can find a way out. " Kashi thought to herself, her heart racing at the dangerous plan. She knew it was risky, but she had no other choice.

Taking a deep breath, Kashi steeled herself. "For Hukum sa." she whispered, as she carefully climbed over the balcony railing and onto the narrow ledge.

The cool wind brushed against her face as she slowly made her way along the ledge, her heart pounding with every step. She knew that one wrong move could send her plummeting to the ground, but she pushed the fear aside, focusing on her goal.

Finally, she reached the end of the ledge, where a vine-covered wall offered a possible escape route. Kashi grabbed onto the vines and began to climb down, her muscles straining with the effort.

Just as she was about to reach the ground, she heard footsteps approaching. Kashi froze, her heart pounding in her chest. She pressed herself against the wall, trying to stay out of sight.

A group of guards walked by, their voices low as they discussed the increased security measures. Kashi held her breath, praying they wouldn't notice her.

After what felt like an eternity, the guards moved on, and Kashi quickly made her way to the ground. She looked around, trying to find a way out of the estate.

Spotting a small gate at the far end of the garden, Kashi sprinted towards it, her heart racing. She knew she had to move quickly before anyone realized she was gone.

As she reached the gate, she heard a shout from behind her. One of the guards had spotted her. Panic surged through her as she fumbled with the gate's lock, her hands trembling.

Finally, the gate swung open, and Kashi darted through, her breath coming in ragged gasps. She didn't know where she was going, but she knew she had to keep moving.

"Shivansh... please find me," she whispered to herself as she ran, the determination in her heart burning stronger than ever.

Back at Pratap Palace, Shivansh stood with his family, their determination mirrored in his own. "We will find Kashi." he vowed once more, as they prepared to launch a full-scale search for the woman who meant everything to him.

The battle had just begun, and Shivansh was ready to do whatever it took to bring his wife back home.

The tension in the palace was thick as Shivansh, Yuhan, and Vedant huddled in a corner of the grand hall. The atmosphere was charged with urgency. Dada Hukum, Bhairav, Anita, and Prisha sat nearby, their faces etched with worry.

Vedant's phone buzzed, and he quickly answered, stepping aside for a moment. When he returned, his expression was a mix of determination and relief.

"Shivansh, we've got a lead. My informants have located Arjun's hideout. It's a remote mansion near the Gujarat border." Vedant called out, his voice laced with a newfound hope.

Shivansh's eyes sharpened. "Are you sure about this, Vedant? We can't afford any mistakes." Yuhan asked. Vedant nodded firmly. "I'm sure, Yuhan. We need to act quickly before he realizes we're onto him." said Vedant.

Shivansh's gaze flicked to Yuhan, who was already gathering his things. "Yuhan, assemble your men. We leave now." said Shivansh. Yuhan gave a curt nod, his jaw set in determination. "Consider it done." said Yuhan.

As the three men prepared to leave, Dada Hukum called out to Shivansh, his voice steady despite the gravity of the situation. "Shivansh, bring Kashi back safely. She's more than just your wife; she's the Hukum Rani Sa of this family." said Dada Hukum.

Shivansh paused, his expression softening for a brief moment as he looked at his grandfather. "I will, Dada Hukum. I promise." said Shivansh.

Anita, who had been quiet until now, stepped forward and placed a gentle hand on Shivansh's arm. "We'll all be praying for her safe return. Be careful, Shiv." said Anita. Shivansh squeezed her hand, his resolve hardening. "I'll bring her back, Bua." said Shivansh.

Prisha's eyes were brimming with tears, but she managed to hold them back. "Kashi is strong, Shivansh. She'll hold on until you find her." said Prisha.

With a final nod to his family, Shivansh turned on his heel and marched out of the palace, followed closely by Vedant and Yuhan.

The night was pitch black, with only the faint glow of the moon illuminating the rugged terrain around Arjun's hideout. Kashi's heart pounded in her chest as she moved quietly through the corridors of the mansion.

She had been biding her time, waiting for the perfect moment to make her escape. The mansion was heavily guarded, but Kashi knew she had to take the risk.

She clutched the dupatta tightly around herself, trying to calm her racing thoughts. "I have to be strong. For Hukum sa, for our family." she whispered to herself.

She managed to slip past a couple of guards, her movements quick and silent. As she reached the main door, Kashi held her breath, praying that no one would notice her absence just yet.

The door creaked as she pushed it open, and she winced at the sound. But she didn't stop. With a final glance over her shoulder, Kashi sprinted out into the night, her feet barely making a sound on the gravel path.

Shivansh gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles white with tension. Vedant sat in the passenger seat, scanning the darkness ahead, while Yuhan was in the back seat, speaking to his men through an earpiece.

"We're close. According to the intel, Arjun's mansion is just a few kilometers ahead." Vedant said while breaking the silence.

Shivansh's jaw clenched as he pressed down on the accelerator. His mind was consumed with thoughts of Kashi—her safety, her fear, her resilience. The thought of her in danger made his blood boil.

Suddenly, out of the darkness, a figure appeared on the road, illuminated by the headlights of the car. Shivansh's heart skipped a beat as he slammed on the brakes, the car screeching to a halt.

"Kashi!" Shivansh shouted, recognizing her instantly. Kashi, disoriented and exhausted, stumbled forward, her eyes wide with relief and disbelief. "Hukum sa!" she cried, her voice breaking as she rushed toward the car.

Shivansh was out of the car in a heartbeat. He ran to her, and the moment she reached him, he enveloped her in a fierce embrace, holding her as if he would never let go.

"Kashi. Thank God you're safe." Shivansh whispered into her hair, his voice thick with emotion. Kashi clung to him, her tears soaking his shirt. "Hukum Sa. I knew you'd find me." she said as her voice trembled.

He pulled back slightly, just enough to cup her face in his hands. His eyes searched hers, as if he needed to see for himself that she was really there, that she was unharmed. "Are you okay? Did they hurt you?" said Shivansh.

Kashi shook her head, her hands gripping his arms tightly. "I'm fine, Hukum sa. I managed to escape." said Kashi.

Behind them, Vedant and Yuhan had stepped out of the car, watching the reunion with a mix of relief and determination. Vedant approached them, his voice gentle. "We need to leave, Shivansh. Arjun's men will realize she's gone soon." Yuhan said.

Shivansh nodded, but his gaze never left Kashi's. "We're going home," he said softly, his words a promise. Shivansh looked down and got shocked as her feet were bleeding. Kashi was running on the road bare feet. Shivansh quickly picked her up in his arms.
