Abhi instead of going back to his room, went to see Ram ji.

He felt he needs to talk to him again and find out what went wrong between Saro and him.

He reached the room where Ram ji would be in.

He opened the door and was shocked to see the sight in front of him.

"What the hell!" he murmured as he saw Ram ji's bed was empty and also saw the window beside his bed was widely opened.

"Did he like went out of the house through the window?" he thought as he went near the window and saw some objects scattered on the floor which belongs to Ram ji.

He quickly checked to see whether Ram ji's belongings were around in the room.

He noticed that Ram ji didn't took all of his stuff.

Abhi then rushed to meet Pragya.

Pragya who had just entered the house saw Abhi rushing towards her.

Pragya, "What happened? Why do you look tensed?"

Abhi, "He left too!"

Pragya, "What do you mean?"

She asked looking confused.

Abhi, "Ram uncle left house too!"

Pragya, "What! Are you sure? Did you check properly?"

Abhi, "He left with some of his belongings. I should have not told him about Saro. Now he is also missing and I seriously don't know what to do Pragya!"

Pragya, "Sir, he would have just left. We can find him if we leave. He should be somewhere near."

Abhi, "Ya right. Let's go!"

Pragya nods her head as yes and Abhi, "No! You stay here. Keep an eye on others. I will go and find him."

Pragya, "But..."

Abhi, "Pragya, there's no time for me to waste. Just listen to me and I will be back soon with him."

He said and quickly rushed out of the house to find Ram ji.

Pragya sees him leaving and hoped both Saritha ji and Ram ji will be found soon.

An hour later,

Abhi returned and Pragya saw him looking defeated.

Pragya never said anything.

Abhi," I am scared Pragya!"

Pragya, "Don't be scared. They will be here soon."

Abhi, "What did you say? They will be here soon?"

Pragya, "No. I mean we will find them soon."

She corrected her words.

Abhi, "Oh... So you're lying to me now?"

Pragya, "No sir. I understand Saritha ji and Ram ji are very important to you. Don't worry, and they..."

Abhi, "Enough! I knew it. I know that Ram uncle left house after I left from here."

Pragya, "Wo... I don't know..."

Abhi, "Stop lying Pragya. I can't understand why you let him go!"

Pragya, "First sit down. I will explain to you."

Abhi was reluctant to sit but Pragya looked at him pleadingly and he in response sat on the sofa.

Pragya sat beside him and said, "Sir, I could have stopped him from leaving the house and Ram ji would have obeyed my words too but...."

Abhi, "But what Pragya?"

Pragya, "But if that happens, it would be like he isn't making any effort to find her. I mean she ran away and he need to find her so that they can sort out things between them."

Abhi, "What are you saying Pragya! All these would have been fine if they are young like you and me. They are old. And what if they get tired and weak!"

Pragya, "I agree they are old but they are wise enough to take care of themselves."

Abhi, "Are you serious? Don't you know that both have medical problems like diabetes and blood pressure. I don't know whether they have enough money with them or not. And even if they have money, what if people fool them and take away their money!"

Pragya, "I understand your concerns Sir but I have full confidence that both Saritha ji and Ram ji are smart enough to tackle any kind of situations. And I think you have forgotten that you have made sure they have money in their banks. I also have checked their bank balance and also they have their ATM card with them so... "

Abhi," No matter what you say, I still can't believe you let him go!"

Pragya,"Sir, you have to agree that both are smart enough to take care of themselves and we will also reach out to them as their..."

Abhi interrupts her and says, "I can't believe you want them to settle their issues by themselves in the name of love even if they are not prepared for that!"

Pragya, "I didn't mean that way but what you said is not wrong too. If there is love between them, then it will prepare them to meet each other and solve their issues. Just like how we solved our issues with each other."

Abhi in response, "I love you Pragya but that doesn't mean I can agree to every single thing you say. This is not about us. This is about her! This is about the person and people who care for me even before you were in my life!"

Pragya, "I know sir. But give me a chance to explain. I know they mean a lot to you. I also care for them."

Abhi was still not willing to listen to her.

Pragya, "Fine! You do as you wish."

She said and walks away while he gave an unbelievable look of Pragya going against him.

Pragya thinks, "Why is he not even listening to me and trying to understand what I wanted to say. I wanted to say their mobile phones are with them and we can use that to track their locations!"

Abhi was still feeling lost at the events taking place and Pragya who went to the kitchen returned to where he was with a glass of juice.

Abhi," I don't want it."

Pragya," I didn't bring it for you either."

Abhi gasps and then looks away while she was drinking the juice.

She sits beside him and tells, "Their phones are with them so..."

Abhi, "Why didn't you tell this earlier?"

Pragya, "First drink this!"

She said and made him drink the juice.

Abhi quickly drank the juice and asks her,"Did you call them?"

Pragya, "No!"

Abhi, "Then how did you know their phones are with them?"

Pragya, "I asked Akash ji to call Saritha ji and Ram ji by acting as an insurance agent. They both did picked up the call and then politely declined to speak further."

Abhi sighed in relief and again got tensed which made him ask, "What if they threw away the phones!"

Pragya, "They will never do that as the phones were your gift to them right?"

Abhi, "Oh ya... Last year I gifted them on their birthdays."

Pragya, "Now that you're a bit calmer, will you at least listen to me now?"

Abhi remains silent taking it as a sign that he is willing to listen to her, she tells, "I understand it is not nice to interfere in their personal matters but now we have to so that we can solve their problem."

Abhi, "So what do you want to do?"

Pragya, "I will tell you but I hope you can understand and react to it not getting angry."

Abhi raises his eyebrows in response.

Pragya, "It's... Actually... We..."

Abhi, "Just tell me Pragya!"

Pragya then tells her idea.

Abhi gasps and soon gets angry at her idea.

Abhi, "What the hell! You want me to do this so that we can solve their problem. Like seriously? Did you even think before you tell this idea?"

Pragya, "Sir, please... I said earlier not to get angry."

Abhi, "How can I not get angry Pragya!"

Pragya takes a deep breath and tells, "Sir, I know it's difficult but it's not impossible to do."

Abhi,"Like seriously Pragya? I still can't believe you can come with up such an idea that is not at all easy for me to accept."

Pragya, "Sir, please listen to me. Can't you see that both Ram ji and Saritha ji are compatible with each other? If they are living separately then it doesn't make sense how they can live under the same roof all these years! They should be living here at least for five years, am I right to say that?"

Abhi," Yes but...it's up to them to live together or live separately or live like enemies."

Pragya smiles and tells," If they are enemies, then they can't be living together right?"

Abhi," Ya... "

Pragya," They do need each other to fight, argue and even to love. Maybe they didn't had anyone to tell them how much they both need each other. We had so many people around us to tell that both of us need each other."

Abhi," But Pragya, what's the point of doing this now when they're... "

Pragya,"Old? What sir....How can you think like that? Love doesn't have age restrictions. And as far as I know, the kind of love they share at their age will be more pure as now they don't need love for physical needs. Their need for love is to fulfill their emotional needs."

Abhi," I understand but... "

Pragya," You understand right? That's enough for us to do our part in making them together. They consider us as their kids and as their kids we have to do something special for them."

Abhi," Alright! But this is very difficult for me to do Pragya and that too after confessing our love for each other!"

Pragya," I know Sir. Even I am finding it difficult but I can't think of anything else."

Abhi hugs her and tells," Fine. Let's do this and we hope they will be together."
