Tujhe dekh dekh sona,
Tujhe dekh kar hi jagna
Mene ye zindgani
Sang tere bitaani
Tujhme basi hai meri jaan haaye
Jiya dhadadk jaaye

Chapter 15- 'they're missing' and a disguised singer

"Guys, this is ridiculous. They can't follow us here. Let's search Alu and Subbu" Vidhi said

(If you all don't remember them check chapter 12)

They all knew how difficult was it for them because of their Rowdy family background. They had to hide, run and what not. Everyone at the table begin to search, she thought of where they saw both of them last.

"I think we went to washroom together, Mihir you take Pooja with you and check washroom, I'll ask for their room keys and see if they voluntarily left"

Vidhi saw Sumedh and Bhavani arguing about something, if it was some other time she would have solved the matter but now there is a huge matter already arised. Sumedh left the complaining Girlfriend and went with Vidhi to find the keys. He opened the lock and found the room quite normal, he looked at Vidhi and she started searching.

"Search their phones, maybe we can find something from their last calls" she said

"Hey here it is, last... call was from Shalini, maybe her friend" he said

"What's the call duration?"

"A minute, its too short!"

They all searched everywhere but couldn't find them. They all were sad and amazed to how did they got so close to each other? No one wanted to start discovering places without them.

After Dhruv came back Mansi and him played many games and talked endlessly, Mansi was thinking about the girl he's in love with since forever. She wasn't able to pick out from his friend list because she knew all of them and he wouldn't tell her if she asked.

"Mansi beta come here some of your friends have come" her mom called

She was confused as to who are these non-existing friends? And when she went to find out, she saw her 'classmates', not friends.

"Hi Mansi, we came to distribute these pamphlets about this workshop held in our school. I know you're a pass out but we don't have many participants to begin with" the short girl said

Oh! You don't have many participants that's why you asked me? No problems I don't have anything to do anyways, ugh Mansi they're still looking at you and you are again talking inside your head? Okay so should I accept right away? No they'll think I'm so desperate which I am for fun but but hey I don't want them to know that

"Ugh, how long will it be? " Mansi asked casually

"Its One-Week camp, begins at morning 8 and ends in afternoon, are you willing?"

"Um I'm not sure ...you know so much stuffs going on" acts like thinking

"Okay! Give me the forms" Mansi asked after her full share of Drama

She took two forms, for her and Dhruv. And she saw Dhruv sitting with a guitar and as soon as she came near he kept the Guitar down, she groaned.

"Hey play na, I never knew you were into music and stuff" she said sitting down

"I know you don't" he said smiling

"Come now!" She said and ignored his doubtful smiles

He played few tunes, and she was clapping. She requested him to sing and he stood right up as if saw a ghost and denied. She requested a lot but he said his throat aches. She got worried and kept the form on the bed and went to kitchen and boiled some water put some Ajwain in it and gave him.

"What's this? Choti manu joining a fun camp ha?" He laughed

"No, Choti manu joining the camp with chotu Sonu" she laughed louder

"No way, I'm not joining this. They are 12 year old it would be so awkward"

"Oh come on! They're not 12 year old okay... It'll be fun, just for a week"

"No no I can't I have soccer practice at this time yaar. You cam enjoy with your Bacha Party" he said and winks

"Whatever Uncle"

Alukusundari's P.O.V
Since childhood my father has given me everything I needed and I love him beyond the materialistic things. He was always there for me when I needed him but since mom eloped with her companion he's changed. He started hating anything and everything related to love.

I hated my mom until I met Subbu, he was in my class till 8th but then he was diagnosed with dyslexia and he joined special school that's when I noticed him. He was different from every high class guy I know, he didn't flinch playing with mud, he never calls beggars gross. I fell in love with him and understood how nothing matters when in love.

He had his large group of friends, they wore rag like clothes but had a deep affection for each other. They would always be together, even if they never ate in hotels they were always full. I never knew what it was like to roam on streets, or to eat at stalls and main relationships without money being a matter.

I was happy observing him from far and silently falling but one day he came with a girl smiling shyly and I could feel my whole world collapsing I don't know why but I didn't like that girl at all. Not that she wasn't beautiful but she was everything I wasn't. She knew every common phrases they say, she mingled with them so easily and I know I'll always be outsider.
I left that place, no today I won't sit for hours looking at him again because it pained me to see him with her, holding hands and ... stop it! I used to sit more hours at that library daily because they used to chill out in the nearby stall, I would keep glancing out of the window but not today, I'm weak now.
