"Where is she !" Manpreet exclaimed.

"Who?" Shamshed stood clueless.

"One minute more of lying and we will call the police" Ginny threatened.

"Told you no Mahira lives here" Shamshed responded with anger.

"Aunty ? Where is Mahira? I am asking one last time" Manpreet spoke out furiously.

" Come inside " Naheed sighed.

"Where is she ? What did you do?" Manpreet stood up from the sofa.

"She is not our daughter, we are not lying" Naheed spoke.

"What are you saying!" Manpreet spoke out shocked.

"Shamshed has alzheiemer , he meds are not working.  He forgets me too" Naheed explained.

"Where is she?" Manpreet spoke out.

"Last night, I was furious.  I told her the truth that we adopted her and she may get lost" Naheed spoke.

"What! You threw her out of the house ! She did love you the most" Manpreet spoke out angrily.

"How can you be okay with that ?" Ginny spoke out.

"Our daughter was still born . My sister gave her newborn girl to me on the very same day. Shamshed thinks it's his daughter till date" Naheed replied.

"Where does her aunt live?" Manpreet questioned.

"She died long ago and her father went mentally unstable" Naheed responded.

"Where is my Mahi?" Manpreet broke down.

"Find her, I didn't meant that . I loved like my own daughter" Naheed spoke crying.

"You never loved if you did ,you would have never abandoned her" Manpreet spoke out with a choked throat.

"Who is Mahira?" Shamshed came in the room totally confused.

"No one" Naheed spoke.

"Shame on you" Ginny remarked before leaving with Manpreet.

"I had 3 miscarriages, when my fourth baby  died,  I felt this marriage" Naheed whispered at the front gate with tears .

"Mahira was your last option and for me she is one and only" Manpreet spoke out with determination.

"where could she go?" Ginny wondered.

"I think ,she is lying" Manpreet spoke.

"Why ?" Ginny asked.

"She is not adopted" Manpreet replied.

"But she didn't spoke like a liar" Ginny spoke.

"Mahira didn't had any maternal aunt" Manpreet replied.

"Maybe she didn't knew about her aunt" Ginny added.

"She showed me an old picture of her mother ,grandparents and an uncle . Mahira never ever had an aunt" Manpreet spoke out with a sigh.

"Where  did she go? Ayaan...he must be involved" Ginny spoke out .

"His phone is switched off" Manpreet sighed.

"Let's go to police" Ginny spoke.

"Where was she last seen ?" The cop said.

"At her home" Manpreet spoke.

"How do you know her ?" The police man asked.

"She is my girlfriend" Manpreet spoke.

"Oh...wait for a night she will return must be chilling somewhere" the cop sat back calmly.

"A girl is missing, mark her report,  it's been 16 hours already" Manpreet spoke out agitated.

"Must be playing a prank or revenge on you boy, you might have forgotten a date" the cop chuckled.

"I feel her parents are involved, damn it do something" Manpreet shouted.

"Ayee Mister this is my police station, behave or get lost" the cop spoke angrily.

"Calm down" Ginny spoke.

                      ˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊·̩̩̥͙

"Another 8 hours !  this is Delhi! 8 hours of night anything can happen" Manpreet cried to Ginny.

"I know ....just breathe" Ginny added.

"Where does that Ayaan live ?" Manpreet asked.

"Where is Mahira?" Manpreet questioned Ayaan's father .

"We don't know about her .Ayaan left for kashmir" he replied.

                          ˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊·̩̩̥͙

"let's go to Kashmir" Manpreet spoke out.

"What ! Are sure he took her?" Ginny spoke out.

"That's the only person she knows apart from you and me " Manpreet concluded.

"Sardar ji kyun jana hain Kashmir? Tusse toh khalistan ko jao" A passenger spoke to Manpreet.

"Motherfucker !" Manpreet shouted.

"Sir please sit down flight is about to land" An air hostess spoke out worriedly.

"Ginny ,tu dekh rahi hain kya bakwas kar raha hain" Manpreet spoke furiously.

"Ignore that ,Mahi is important" Ginny spoke.

Manpreet sat down ,his red blood shot and tears in his eyes.

"You will find her" Ginny reassured him.

A militant attack took place in Srinagar this morning, it was a market place .Many feared dead.

Manpreet looked at the TV screen of airport in horror.

"She is fine,I am sure" Ginny spoke.

This looks like a revenge of a terror group in response to the new release of Kerala Story .

"Hope she is fine, this does not look nice at all " Manpreet spoke in fear.

" Ayaan is with her " Ginny spoke.

"That's what I fear , we don't know him yet" Manpreet added .

"Let's first look for a place to stay" Ginny replied.
