Let's just say that the morning after wasn't what I expected it to be, I woke up not to find Arnav beside me, when I headed out of my room, I met Rachel who was panicking because Zion had disappeared, he was not in his room, his phone was unreachable and neither did he inform anyone.

I felt stupid because I had promised Zion he would be safe in my house and now he had disappeared and I had no idea how, oh yes Khushi you know exactly how. Because you had your boyfriend sneaking into your room and you cared about nothing else. How couldn't I check on Zion? I usually did that, it was all my fault.

I dint even know how to start finding him, his phone was switched off to otherwise I could track it and find his whereabouts, now I had no idea who had taken him or anything, but I needed to start from somewhere so I thought I'd call Arnav and ask him to come alone so we can work together and find Zion.

I dialed his number and strangely, his phone too was off, having no other option, I got into my car and drove straight to his house knowing that's where I could find him at this time.

On my way I kept on trying Zion's number every now and then and also calling Rachel back home just in case he had gone out and came back.

Once I arrived at Arnav's house, I rushed inside calling out his name, the house seemed empty, none of the boys seemed to be home.

I rushed to Arnav's room, pushed the door open but he wasn't there, I checked the washroom, the kitchen still calling out his name but still I dint find him, where was this guy when I needed him? And then he was going to complain that I don't share things with him.

Now that Arnav wasn't around, I figured I had to find Zion on my own, so I decided to leave, just when I was about to exit the house, I heard someone call my name, I turned around and found Stefan standing there yawning.

"I'm sorry I dint mean to wake you up, do you by any chance know where Arnav is?" I asked."No, I haven't seen him since yesterday. Is everything okay?" Stefan asked.

"Well no, Zion was at home last night, in the morning he wasn't, I don't know how and where he disappeared suddenly so I am trying to find him, I thought I'd come and tell Arnav to help but he's disappeared too." I sighed.

"Give me a moment, I'll just freshen up then we can go find him."

"It's okay Stefan I don't want to bother you."

"We are friends Khushi, you aren't bothering me, give me five minutes." He said, I nodded as he headed back to his room while I sat in the hall wondering how to start, I mean where should I start looking? It was for sure he was in the town, but where? I had no freaking idea.

I called the girls one by one to ask whether he was with either of them but none of them too had an idea.

"Do you have any idea where he might have gone or anything?" Stefan asked as he walked towards me.

"Nope, I don't even know where to start from, if something happens to him, I won't be able to forgive myself, I brought him back promising him that he was going to be safe and now he isn't." I said sadly, I was literally worried as hell.

"Okay calm down, we will find him, let's start from your house, from his room, maybe we can find something." Stefan suggested, I nodded as we both rushed out of the house, got into my car and drove back home.

When I arrived home, Rachel was still seated in the hall worried and having no idea where he still was, Stefan and I rushed to Zion's room which was quite a mess actually, so I meant that he dint go somewhere, he was taken, there had to be struggle, how come neither of us heard it? And whoever took him, how did they even get in and out of the house?

We looked around his room, checked everything we found but nothing was helpful, all I found that was surprising was a photograph of his with a girl I had never seen, quite surprisingly, he hadn't even told me anything regarding it.

"Whatever happened, had to happen here, which means that whoever took him, came to his room, they had a struggle but still managed to take him." Stefan said.

"How is that possible? we have security guards out there, and they don't let anyone in unless they are my friends or the usual people that come here, if there's anyone new, the first confirm with us before letting anyone in." I said, there was no way possible someone could have done this easily if they were from outside, or could it be possible it was done by someone we knew?

"Let's talk to the guards and see what they have to say then?" Stefan suggested, I nodded as I rushed outside once again as he followed me, I gathered the four guards that were guarding the house last night.

"Okay let me come to the point straight, Zion has been kidnapped from this house itself, now last night I remember I saw him before I went to bed and in the morning he wasn't around, so whatever happened was in between that time.

Now with you four watching the house it's not possible for a stranger to come in and kidnap someone just like that, so tell me which one of you helped the kidnapper." I looked at them seriously.

"Ma'am why would we do that?" One of them asked.

"Oh I don't know, for money maybe, how much were you paid to do such dirty work." I looked at the seriously.

"Hey, calm down." Stefan put his hand on my shoulder, I couldn't calm down, my best friend was missing and I was supposed to keep him safe!

"Okay give me the details about everything last night, from nine o'clock onwards, give me each and every detail of the people and the cars that came in, what time they came and what time they left. Don't miss out on any detail even if it looks normal, just tell me what you saw, if there was anything that seemed fishy or anything." Stefan asked the guards while I stood beside him silently.

"Khushi ma'am came with her friends, the three of them left together a while after Arnav sir came, the one that has a similar car like Khushi ma'am." One of the guards said.

"Okay and then after that?"

"Later at the night, I saw your mother and father leaving, but they were back in half an hour, after that no car came, the both of us were right here by the gate."

"No car came, but did anyone else come?" Stefan asked.

"Yes, past midnight two boys came, I hadn't seen them here before, I wasn't even letting them in, but I remember Arnav sir came out and told me to let them in, they all went inside the house, stayed for a while and then the three of them left together in Arnav sir's car."

"Are you sure they were only three or Zion was with them?" Stefan asked.

"No, they were only the three of them." The guards replied.

"Anything else that you know?" I asked looking at them all, they nodded negatively so I dispersed them, who were the two guys that came? And why would Arnav bring anyone inside my house without my knowledge that too at such a time? What the hell was going on?

"You don't have cameras in your compound?" Stefan asked.

"We do, but they haven't been working since yesterday morning, I remember dad was talking to someone on the call telling them to come and check, but no one came to check so they aren't going to be of any help." I said.

"Do you have a doubt on anyone at the moment?"

"I trust Arnav, I don't think he would kidnap Zion, I mean he doesn't even have anything to him, but what the guards said, that two guys came and Arnav brought them in, that sounds kind of fishy, because I had no idea about it.

Who could be this guys? And what was Arnav up to? I've been dialing his number since morning and his phone is switched off too." I said as I tried to call him once again but his phone was still off.

"Could the guys be Damon and Karthik? I haven't seen them since last night either, maybe they were the ones that came here."

"Might be possible, but why would they kidnap Zion?" This wasn't making sense at all.

"They all are my friends Khushi, Damon is my brother too and I know they've done some really shady stuff before and as much as I want to trust them and mostly Arnav that he wouldn't do something like this to you, the guards told us that no one came here apart from them.

You also know the three of them have been behaving weird at the university recently, there has to be something. Did you try tracking Zion's phone?"

"No, it's switched off, I can't."

"But I can, I know someone who can do it, just give his phone number and if you have any details about the phone he was using." I nodded as I rushed back to Zion's room, I remember seeing a phone box in his room a while back, I brought it and handed it to Stefan who took pictures of some things and sent them to someone.

"We just have to wait for a while and we'll find the location of his phone, let's just hope it's with him." Stefan said as we both sat down trying to console Rachel who was continuously crying.A while later, Stefan's phone beeped, I looked at him immediately, he seemed to be surprised on whatever message he had received, I grabbed the phone from his hand and read the message that he had received.

It was an address, the address of where Zion's phone was, and what was shocking about it was that it was at the place where the boys stayed, but I had been there and neither did I see Arnav's car nor did I see the boys, so how was it possible? Did Arnav and his friends actually kidnap Zion? Even the thought of it was breaking my heart already, I just hoped it wasn't true.
