Hi everyone..!!
Two updates in one day..!!
Happy reading..!!

In the hotel
" Yahin kahin hoga....mil jaega" Shikhar reassured Vi, trying to cover up their unintentional chaos, but ending up stumbling over his words.

Just then, Ajju's phone rang, startling everyone.

Ajju: "Hi Faf."

Vi couldn't help but wonder why Faf was calling Ajju at this hour...The day just keeps getting weirder.

Hearing Faf's name, Jaddu and Shikhi exchanged knowing glances, which Bhuvi quickly caught onto, muttering to himself "daal mein kuch to kaala hai".

On the other end of the call, Faf's voice crackled through the line,

Ajju scratched his head, perplexed. "Ab? I haven't seen him since morning...I'll check, but what would he be doing here?"

"He went to meet Virat last time and hasn't come home yet, so I thought to check," Faf explained.

Ajju's confusion only grew. "Oh, he came to meet Virat..."

"Virat, have you seen Ab? He was with you last night, right?" Ajju asked.

Virat's voice came through the receiver, "Me? Nah, I wasn't even at the hotel last night."

Vi, unable to contain himself any longer, grabbed the phone from Ajju's hand. "Faf, hi Virat here!"

" Virat, you're back?" Faf sounded surprised.

Ignoring the confusion, Vi blurted out, "Forget that, when did Ab come to meet me?"

"Last night...and he still hasn't shown up, so I thought maybe he stayed back at your hotel," Faf replied.

Vi's eyes widened in realization. "I'll check and let you know."

"Okay mate," Faf responded before hanging up.

Vi furrowed his brow, trying to make sense of the situation, " Tum logo mein se kisi ko pta tha ki Ab yahan aya tha " he inquired, looking at the group, who all shook their heads in unison, indicating they had no clue.

" Well, let's inquire at the reception then," suggested Ash, and they all marched towards the front desk.

"Good afternoon, sir. Yes, Ab sir arrived last night. Since you weren't here, he went to your room to wait for you," explained the receptionist.

Vi's concern grew evident. "My room? But there was no one when I returned," he said, feeling a knot of worry forming in his stomach.

Hearing that, realization dawned upon Shikhi and Jaddu that they had kidnapped Ab, mistaking him for Vi, they exchanged guilty glances, which went unnoticed only by Vi, who was preoccupied with concern for Ro and Ab.

" Sab gayab kaha ho rahe hai benstokes" Vi muttered, his frustration mounting.

Jaddu and Shikhi discreetly slipped away, but Bhuvi, Ajju, and Ash caught sight of their sneaky exit. They split up to search the hotel for the missing duo, each taking a different direction.

" Mtlb hmne Vi bhaiya ki jagah unke biscuit ko kidnap krlia " exclaimed Shubh, his eyes wide with disbelief.

" Ro bhaiya aur Ab saath mein " Ishu added, horror creeping into his voice as he imagined the chaos.

" WHATTTTT!!!!!" Ajju erupted, while Ash and Bhuvi glared at them from the doorway, demanding answers.

" What the hell is going on here? Who kidnapped whom? Ro and Ab are together? How? Where?" Bhuvi interrogated angrily, not pausing for a response.

The four of them stood in silence, shamefaced and guilt-ridden, unable to meet Bhuvi's stern gaze.

" RAVINDRA JADEJA SPEAKK!!!" Bhuvi thundered, his usually calm demeanor giving way to frustration.

" Yaar vo hum to bs prank kar rahe the.... Vir aur Ro pe ...ye Ab pata nahi kaha se beech mein agya" Jaddu confessed nervously, his voice wavering slightly.

" Kahan hai vo dono " Ajju fumed, his anger palpable. Shikhar and Jaddu exchanged nervous glances before explaining everything. The shock on their faces was evident.

" JADDU...Ro aur Vi aaye kyu nahi ab tak ? " Mahi's voice echoed with concern as he entered the room, leaving Ash, Ajju, and Bhuvi stunned.

" Bhai aap bhi??" Bhuvi sighed in disappointment.

" Tum sab log yahan kya kar rahe ho....kisi ko mila Ab ?." Virat's sudden entrance left everyone even more dumbfounded.

" Cheeku....tu agya...Ro kahan hai" Mahi asked, embracing him tightly.

" Bhai ...main vo...sorry thoda late hogya tha...mujhe time ka pta hi nahi chala....Aur ye Ro pta nahi kaha chla gya hai subah subah....aapne Ab ko dekha kya ? " Vi blurted out, barely pausing for breath.

" Ro tere saath nahi hai? " Mahi's shock and concern were evident.

" Nahi maine use last aapke room mein hi dekha tha..aapko pta hai Ab kl mujhse milne aya...aur pta nahi kaha gayab hogya...ghar bhi nahi pauncha" Vi replied, concern etched on his face.

Mahi shot a glaring look at Jaddu and his 'soldiers' before Vi interrupted, " Bhaii...aap bhi help karo na unko dhundne mein....phone bhi nahi utha rahe "

"Cheeku tu jaake hotel ke staff se puch...shayad unhe kuch pta ho...main ata hu abhi " Mahi instructed as Vi left the room

" Okay bhai" Vi nodded, hurrying out of the room.

"KOI MUJHE BTAEGA YAHAN KYA CHAL RAHA HAI " Mahi thundered, his frustration boiling over.

" Bhai vo...." Jaddu attempted to explain but faltered.

" Agr cheeku yahan hai to Ro ke saath kaun hai ?" Mahi demanded, growing increasingly frustrated.

" Aapke cheeku ka biscuit " Bhuvi mocked, disappointedly making Mahi realize they know about their prank.

" Bhai seriously....aap inka saath kaise de skte ho ...ye sb to hai hi pagal...bina soche samjhe kuch bhi krte hai...aap to samajhdar ho...aapko to sochna chhaiye tha...ye kitna dangerous ho skta hai...aapko pta hai na " Bhuvi scolded, his disappointment dripping from every word.

Mahi was cursing himself for listening to Jaddu. Why did he let himself get swayed by Jaddu's words? He should have stopped him, but instead, he went along with it. Now, he had put Ro's life in danger. What if something goes terribly wrong? Mahi's chest felt heavy with each breath as he imagined the worst scenarios, where his little one got hurt because of him.

"Bhai..." Ajju's voice broke through his thoughts. "Abhi khud ko blame krne se kuch nahi hoga....We need to go to Ro and Ab."

" Aur Vi bhai? " Shubh asked timidly.

" Tum btana na unhe...kaise unhe kidnap krne ki jagah tumne unke biscuit ko kidnap kr liya"  Ajju snapped in anger

" Nahi... please bhaii... hum ye nahi kar skte " Shubh pleaded, tears welling up in his eyes.

" Tum log yahi raho...hum jate hai ..aur vi ko Mahi bhai btaenge" declared Bhuvi

" Main??.." Mahi asked, his voice trembling with fear at the thought of Cheeku's reaction.

" Ji...aap" said Bhuvi coldly, his tone firm and unforgiving

All the seniors, along with Mahi bhai, gathered in the reception area where Vi was speaking with the staff, trying to gather any information about the whereabouts of Ro and Ab.

Mahi approached Vi with a heavy heart, his eyes moist with tears. "Sorry, Cheeku," he mumbled, his voice choked with emotion.

Vi, caught off guard by Mahi's sudden display of emotion, blinked in surprise. " Kya hua bhai?....aap ro kyu rahe ho? Aap theek to ho na bhai? " Vi's hyperactive demeanor shifted instantly as he worriedly questioned him.

" Cheeku vo......" With a heavy sigh, Mahi began recounting the events to Vi, watching as disbelief and shock washed over his cheeku's face. Vi's grip on Mahi's hands weakened as he processed the news. His Ro and his biscuit, kidnapped? Even if it was a prank, the fact that they hadn't returned yet meant something was seriously amiss. His heart clenched with fear, but he clung to hope, silently praying that they were safe.

" We need to go to them immediately. Bhuvi, Ajju, Ash, let's go," Vi declared, his voice trembling with urgency as he turned to leave, ignoring the others.

"Jaddu, send me the address of the warehouse," commanded Bhuvi, his voice urgent with determination.

"Also inform Faf about Ab" Ajju instructed.

"We're coming too," Shikhar insisted, while Jaddu nodded in agreement.

"But Ash, with his no-nonsense attitude, wasn't having it. "No need. You guys have done enough," he stated firmly, shooting them a glare.

Jaddu mumbled a quick apology before sending the address to Bhuvi, who wasted no time in leaving with Ash and Ajju, also sent a frantic message to Faf, urging him to join them at the warehouse.

"We can't just stand here and wait. I'm going," Mahi declared, breaking into a run.

"We're coming with you!" Jaddu and Shikhar exclaimed in unison, following closely behind.

"Where is everyone going?" asked a confused Harry, turning to Rah and Jassi, amused by the chaotic scene unfolding before them.

"This is only one way to find out," Rah replied mischievously, and they too joined the chase, running after the seniors.

In the chaos of departure, Vi, Ash, Ajju, and Bhuvi piled into one car, Mahi, Shikhar, and Jaddu close behind. Rah, Jassi, and Harry were about to follow suit when a sudden knock on their window startled them..and there stood.....(Any guesses!!)
