The Addiction:Part Seven
The gates opened and Amrita entered a palatial house,its large enough to be called a palace.In front of the house there was a fountain,and multiple cars standing nearby. An elderly man and an elderly woman were standing nearby.On seeing Amrita,they received her warmly and took her inside the house. The elderly couple are Madhubanti's parents. Although they were distraught at their daughter Madhubanti's kidnapping,they still were quite calm and sat down with Amrita in the drawing room. Amrita started:"So what do you make out of all this.Did Madhubanti have any lover who admired her secretly?" Madhubanti's parents:"We don't know why our daughter Madhubanti was kidnapped. Madhubanti and Saikat have been married for over a couple of decades now and have two daughters. We cannot even think of anyone having a liking in her at this age. And although Madhubanti was the crush of many during younger days,we cannot recollect and such crazy lover." Amrita said: "But Madhubanti's beauty and her lover are not the only reason.The main reason of Madhubanti's kidnapping is that she knew some secret information about some artifacts.Can you tell me anything about that matter." Madhubanti's parents: "Our daughter Madhubanti has certainly been very beautiful all along. Particularly her long silky hair,it was the longing of many. And a few days before Madhubanti's kidnapping she had visited us but mostly stayed inside her room here." Amrita:"OK uncle and aunty,now I will like to see Madhubanti's room room search for any possible clues."

Meanwhile in the building far away from the city, the building being guarded by masked people carrying guns.Evidently something was going on inside inside building. Inside the building,in one of the rooms, the long haired beauty Madhubanti was blindfolded and tied to a bed. The masked man and masked woman who seemed to be the mastermind of the gang were talking to each other. The woman said, "It seems that Madhubanti's kidnapping is not helping us at all. She won't tell us anything about the secret information, nor ar we getting any money. We should demand money from her husband Saikat now." The man:"Darling,we are already getting money from Saikat." and both of them grinned. Madhubanti was shocked to hear this. Is Saikat involved in her kidnapping? Which money are they talking about? Madhubanti thought it is a misunderstanding and that Saikat would never harm her. "We have to make some other plans," said the man and both of them went outside.

After tracing Sheela and Atul's phone for a long time and tracing their locations in the past few days,the police ultimately got a lead in the case,as their phone locations led them to the old warehouse where Madhubanti was kept.The police discovered a chair and ropes there evidently Madhubanti was kept tied up there. But they could not find any more clues there. Outside the warehouse, just outside the backdoor,they found a car standing. The number of the car matched with that seen in the video given by the mysterious man to Rahul, so it was evidently Madhubanti's kidnap car. They searched inside the car and found a video. Near the video there was an envelope on which was written,"Look at the video along with Madhubanti's family."

The door to the room opened and Madhubanti's psycho lover entered. He closely examined the blindfolded Madhubanti who was tied to the bed,as of Madhubanti is some prized possession. He sat very close to Madhubanti and touched her body. It made her skin crawl. Madhubanti was disgusted and scared at the same time. What was this man up to? The man told her,"no one over here can still believe that the beauty Madhubanti who mesmerizes everyone on TV is here as our captive. Although we have kidnapped you,it is actually you and your beauty which have cast a spell on us. Such a glamorous beauty. You don't at all look like you are around fifty years old, your stunning beauty belies your age,pure magic." Madhubanti recoiled at his words, her breath quickening. She could feel the weight of his gaze on her, a grotesque admiration that chilled her to the bone. After that, he proceeded to kiss Madhubanti. Madhubanti sensed his intentions and tried to move her face away in disgust, like the contact was a violation far beyond the physical, the sensation of his lips hovering too close to her igniting a powerful surge of fear and disgust. A sickly smile crept across his face as he leaned closer, invading her personal space. The masked man smiled and removed the blindfold from Madhubanti's eyes. For the first time, Madhubanti got a look at the surroundings in which she was being held hostage. But she found that man to be masked. "Such a beauty," the man quipped, "your pretty face,your flawless skin,your long lustrous smooth hair with a pleasant smell cascading down your back,all these increase your sexual appeal. It is very difficult for us to resist ourselves. Such a beauty as you with us,most of the time our gang discusses your beauty instead of focusing on your mission of finding the artifacts." The man then told her,"listen pretty,we are a large international gang which snuggles valuable artifacts, and we know that you have information about some of the most valuable artifacts. So until and unless you tell us all you know, we will hold you and maybe fondle your long lustrous hair. So like a good woman,tell us all you know,since we also don't want to do all this to a beauty as you." Madhubanti still remained defiant but implored the man to ease the ropes tying her hands a bit. "Sure my pretty," said the man and he loosened the ropes a bit. He then blindfolded Madhubanti again and went away. Madhubanti smiled as she had something going on in her mind. He left the place with many gang members to some undisclosed location leaving behind only few of the gang to keep a watch on Madhubanti.

Meanwhile,the police sat down at Saikat's room with Saikat,Riya,Mita, Monica and Rahul to watch the video they had gathered from Madhubanti's kidnap car. But what they saw shocked and disgusted them at the same time. In the video,they saw Madhubanti unconscious in a dark room, she was lying on the floor with her long lush hair spread there. Some masked people were touching and kissing her and seemed to enjoy her beauty. Then they saw them picking Madhubanti's long soft hair gently and inhaling the scent of her long hair. After seeing all this,there was pin-drop silence in the room. All of them were utterly disgusted by this. How could someone behave with a married woman in this way? But at the same time they were scared and worried about Madhubanti. Who are the masked people and what are they up to? But Monica being cunning announced, "It maybe that Madhubanti has a secret lover and she might have run away from this house on her own." But no one, including Saikat was in a condition to respond to Monica's allegations on Madhubanti, as they were all upset after seeing the video. But Monica seemd to be happy as she felt like succeeding in her evil and cunning plan.

After some hours,the masked psycho lover and other gang members returned to the house where Madhubanti was being held. But they were utterly shocked to see the gang members kept there to keep a vigil on Madhubanti lying on the ground,injured. They quickly went to the room where Madhubanti was tied to the bed. Thye were shocked to see that the ropes were untied and Madhubanti was not there. One of the injured gang members told them,"we don't know what exactly happened and how,but the beauty Madhubanti ran away."

Note:What do you think was Monica's plan?Why and how do you think Madhubanti ran away and where did she go?
