Aaradhya's Pov.

Two days later.

Finally I'm all set for flying off to Australia. Harsh has arranged everything quickly. Not a big deal for him, though I'll always be thankful to him for keeping his big mouth shut for these forty eight hours. It was hard for me to hide the truth from him but I succeeded in convincing him without any interrogation.

Meanwhile, I had a great time with Kanchan and Girish. These two days, they entertained me a lot with their siblings rivalry.
As for instance, when Kanchan irritated Girish by pestering him to find out her recent crush's number. Nearly by the end of the day she had pissed him off.

They reminded me of Aditi. I really miss my family. I miss my friends and most importantly him. Everything around just reminds me of him. But I can't live in peace until I find Tiara and get some answers from her.

Yesterday, Harsh called me to inform about my flight and stay details. He asked me to directly meet him at the airport where he'll be handing my passport and flight ticket. He insisted on accompanying me to Australia but I simply protested him.

I packed up my small luggage which Kanchan got from my flat and bid farewell to both the siblings and Harsh at the airport who came to see me off. They wished me luck and I proceeded towards the immigration counter for further process. After all the procedure were done, I boarded the plane.

I recollected the time when Riddhant had surprised me, the last time when I was traveling by air.
That memory just brought a smile to my face.

I had decided to not let him leave after our marriage but here I am breaking my own imposed rule but it's for best.

The flight took off and I glanced at the city beneath for a last time. I'll surely miss everything. This is the first time, I'm travelling alone to some different country and I am not even scared because of his efforts behind transforming me into an Independent woman.

I had a connecting flight to Perth from Singapore after a halt of four hours. I felt dizzy due to lack of sleep and long hours of travelling. After almost twelve hours, I landed in Australia.
The cool breeze hit my face and I completely forgot about all my dizziness.

I quickly called Harsh and Kanchan to inform them. After that, I hired a cab to take me straight to the hospital address where I'll get more clues about her.

"Tiara, here I come."

Riddhant's Pov.

These two days were worst than hell for me. I managed to postpone my reception party by lying to Dad. Varun helped me in convincing him. I had to avoid Aditi's calls too as she wanted to converse with Aaradhya but I somehow lied to her as well.

I couldn't stay calm when she's my responsibility now. She had asked me to not follow her but that wasn't possible for me. I have the right to know about her but here, I have no idea about her whereabouts and this is freaking me out. She's unavailable on her number too.
Varun and I contacted her colleagues but much to our luck, we found nothing about her despite even hiring the most renowned detective.

As I was strolling down the aisle, my phone buzzed.

It was Nikita, who was calling me.

"Hello Riddhant, please come directly to my old flat, NOW." She ordered me.

Her voice clearly stated that she'd found some clue. With this hope, I drove to her place.

I found Nikita and Varun already present near the gate. As soon as I got out of the car, they trudged towards me.

"Riddhant, we can finally find Aaradhya." Nikita exclaimed.

"What! but how?" I inquired.

"Riddhant, I came back to my flat this morning and to my luck, when I opened the door with my spare key, I eavesdrop Harsh's conversation on the phone.
He was talking to Aaradhya and he mentioned something about some flight to her but when I asked him, he denied to disclose anything about her." She revealed.

"Nikita, are you sure?" I asked again.

"Yes, I'm damn sure. I know pretty well when my brother is lying." She assured.

"Then where is he? I want to meet him". I asked her.

"He's upstairs. We need to confront him." She said.

"So, what are we waiting for?" Varun spoke and we stormed to her flat.

As soon as I saw his face,
I grabbed his collar in fury and pulled him.

"Where is my wife?" He looked astounded with my outburst.

"I don't know, find yourself." He sounded rude.

"Stop playing games here. We clearly know that you've an idea about where she is." Varun said.

"I can't tell you, I promised her." He replied, backing away.

"Please Harsh tell me, she's my wife and I've a right to know about her." I implored.

He quickly got out from my hold and punched me literally wounding my nose.

"HARSH!" Varun and Nikita screamed in unison.

"This one was for hurting my friend and also for causing creases on my shirt." He said with anger.

"And seriously don't expect me to reveal anything to you. If you are that much worried about your WIFE then find her yourself." He yelled and walked out.

"I'm sorry about him." Nikita apologized once he left.

"No it's my fault". I blamed myself.

"Don't worry, we'll find her soon." Varun comforted me.

"Yeah." I said and called my detective immediately.

"I want the phone records of Harsh Khanna in the matter of just two hours." I ordered and hung up.

"Blossom, I'll find you either by hook or crook."

Aaradhya's Pov.

I dozed off in the cab and woke up when the cab halted with a jerk in front of the hospital.
I paid the driver and exited the car, taking my luggage out.

I sauntered to the reception area.

"Hello, I want to meet Dr. Ian Wayne." I spoke politely to the woman at the reception counter.

"Do you've any appointment?" The woman queried.

"I...."

"Sorry but if you don't have the appointment for today, you can't meet him as he's busy attending other patients." She talked cutting me off.

"But I'm not here for any sort of treatment." I tried to explained.

"He's busy now and if you still want to meet him then you've to wait." She spoke with irritation and continued working.

As I was enquiring further, A man bumped into me accidentally from behind.

"Sorry." He mumbled and walked to the reception as the woman became attentive to him.

His appearance indicated that he's one of the doctor's here as he was wearing a white robe with a stethoscope hanging around his neck.
He was probably in his late twenties.

"Miranda, please cancel my appointments for today and if any emergency, Dr. Josh will handle it." He said rapidly while I turned to leave.

"Certainly, Dr. Wayne." She chimed.

I turned around when I heard her addressing him as Dr. Wayne while he just walked away.

I ran behind him and tried stopping him but he didn't even hear me, calling him out. He walked faster and I tried to speed up with my small luggage bag.

He seemed to rush somewhere. I noticed him entering some restricted section where the visitors weren't allowed.

I still followed him till he entered some particular room.
I quietly sneaked into it but the sight that captured my eyes made me gasp.
