Bold Italic - Pragya
Italic - Abhi

Do you know something Purab? I feel like we are some detectives now.

Purab "Me too! But we are not getting paid."

Excuse me! You need to get paid to find your friend?

Purab "I was only kidding like you Abhi."

Okay fine. Look out whether anyone is coming out of the room.

Based on what they heard some people on their way back from Arundhati's House, they landed up at a hotel. After checking with the receptionist, it was confirmed that King and Aaliya are in a room and it seems King had left but Aaliya is still in the room. So now Abhi and Purab are waiting outside for Aaliya to come out.

But Purab why are we waiting here when we know Aaliya is inside the room?

Purab "Wo... You said so. I was also wondering the same but I didn't want to disobey your words."

Purab! You're too much!

He said and both knocked the door of the room where Aaliya was in.

Aaliya "Room service right?"

Abhi in his changed voice, "Yes mam."

Aaliya "Come in!"

Aaliya was looking at her phone and didn't realize Abhi and Purab staring at her.

Aaliya looked up and shrieked "Bhai!!!"

Yes Bhai and not bye!

Aaliya "But why are you here?"

I should be asking that and how come you have a phone with you?

Aaliya "This is King's phone. Not mine."

He passed you your phone but does not have the decency to attend Pragya's call.

Aaliya "Huh? Why did Pragya called him?"

Leave that! But answer me why you never inform me that you are coming here!

Purab asked Abhi to talk in a calmer tone.

She was still not answering and Abhi fumed up.

Aaliya "Chill Bhai! I did inform Dadi that I am leaving to Delhi. I was in a hurry so I left without taking my phone with me. But Bhai it was a pleasant journey as I was able to enjoy the nature without the disturbance of phone."

It means Dadi knows you're coming to Delhi and.....

Aaliya looks confused as to why her brother is now looking tensed.

Aaliya" Is everything ok Bhai? Purab, why is he looking worried now."

Purab asks Bhai to sit down beside Aaliya first.

Purab then said," Aaliya, Dadi didn't inform him that you're leaving to Delhi and she left the house without informing him too."

Aaliya" Dadi left the house? What are you saying Purab?"

Purab" Yes Aaliya. You left the house and Dadi also left the house so Abhi was thinking you two left because of him."

Aaliya" Because of Bhai? Why would we ever leave him and that too because of him? It doesn't make sense at all."

I thought you two left in disappointment and anger because of me as I had given an interview that I love Pragya and she is my fiance.

Aaliya," Yes I know that. I got to know of the news when I reached here. Yes I am disappointed and angry at you about it. But I won't leave you for that. Even Dadi won't leave her grandson for that reason. After all we are a family and there will be discussions and disagreements but we can't dismiss you out of our lives."

Aaliya.... I was scared to hell. I....

Aaliya" Bhai! I will be always with you! It's a promise!"

But where is Dadi? Why she left without informing me then?

Aaliya," Just like you found me, I believe you can find her too."

Abhi smiles in response.

Purab" But Aaliya you came here to meet King's grandma?"

Aaliya" Yes. I did and do you have any problem in that?"

Why are you asking him like that? He is asking for your concern.

Aaliya" Concern? When he is so concerned then why he never accept me?"

Aaliya, let's not talk about it. Now we have to find Dadi.

Purab looks at Aaliya for a while before he says" Abhi, I will wait for you outside."

Abhi nods his head in response while Purab left from there.

Aaliya" Bhai, I didn't mean to be rude to Purab. I came here for him only."

For him? What do you mean?

Aaliya" I can only tell you this for now. King and I have to confirm certain things then I can tell you. Trust me Bhai. I am still concerned about Purab."

Okay but whatever you do please inform me. At least I will be relieved you are safe.

Aaliya then apologises to him for not informing him earlier.

Let's go! And do you need to return the phone to King?

Aaliya" I have to but let him take it from me. He made me travel so much today!"

She sighed and smirked which was incomprehensible to Abhi.

Abhi thinks, Why is she so confusing? I thought she came to see King here but she says she came for Purab and is still concerned about him. And now she is smirking at the thought of King coming to her to take back his phone!

Aaliya "Bhai! Let's go!"

They both left and King saw them leaving from a distance.

The trio reaches back to Mumbai and Abhi remembers he hadn't spoke to Pragya. He didn't want to talk to her in the presence of Aaliya.

Aaliya went to her room and said she will rest first while Abhi said he have to talk to the police.

Purab "I know you are not going to talk to the police."

Please don't tell her that I am going to talk to Pragya.

Purab "I won't Abhi. You go and call her."

No I am directly going to her house to see her. I have to thank her parents for being so understanding too.

Purab "Are you sure? I mean you're very tired and you want to go now?"

Yes Purab. I really want to see her now.

He said and left from his house.

Pragya, I am still scared for Dadi. You said Aaliya will tell something that can help to find Dadi but she didn't. Now I am so scared and I know you're my only solace to get rid of my fears.

He tells himself while driving to her house. Once he reached, he was shocked to find her house locked.

Locked? Where is she?

He asked her neighbour and he said, they left to their hometown.

Hometown? That too all of a sudden!

He tried calling her number and she picked up his call.

Abhi! Did you find Aaliya? Any news about Dadi? Is everything okay.

Aaliya is found and about Dadi, there is still no news but tell me where are you now?

Wo.... I am at bazaar. I came here to buy things.

Acha.... So the bazaar is at your hometown? Am I right?

Abhi, I can't tell you anything now. I have promised Papa. Please try to understand.

You promised your Papa! Ya right but you never promised me of not leaving me. Yes how did I forgot? You break up with me right?

Abhi.... Please....I never left to hurt you.

Obviously! You never left to hurt me. You left to chill out at your hometown while here I am like a fool standing outside your house.

You're outside my house? Why you didn't tell me earlier?

What's the use Pragya? I am the one who always blindly believe you and your family. I thought uncle ji understands my feelings for you but he didn't. He again proved that he dislikes me and doesn't believes me by bringing you away. Now what? You're getting married to some fool who is better than me!

No.... I can't talk anything right now as Papa is coming near me but just go to my room window and you will get something. Bye!

She ends the call making Abhi sigh and he goes to check what she have got for him.

I don't see anything other than plants pots here!

He looks around and was about to leave when he remembered how he finds a letter underneath the vase at King's house.

Underneath the pot?

He checked the pots and finally found a letter.

He then reads it.

I know you will be angry at me for leaving like this but I am sorry Abhi. I didn't want to leave too. Papa was suddenly upset about something and asked Ma and me to get ready to leave. He assured me that he is not trying to separate us and at the same time he asked me not to tell you this. He didn't want you to worry further. I don't think I will be able to convey all this through phone as I promised Papa not to tell about my whereabouts. If there is any trouble that I am facing, I will call you if not then consider it as all is fine and nothing is going against my will. For now please focus on Aaliya and Dadi. Find them and make sure everything is fine.

Oh.... So he wasn't trying to separate us! Then why he brought her away? I really don't understand why my loved ones are playing this lost and found game with me!! First Aaliya and Dadi and now Pragya. Actually Pragya is the one who started this with her break up. Her mind was lost when she break up with me and her mind was found when she came to support me to find Aaliya and Dadi!

He leaves from there and hopes Pragya is safe where she is and returns as soon as possible.

Sneek peek to next part,
Aaliya "Bhai.... Listen carefully, the person behind every success and failure of yours is Dadi."

I know that Aaliya.... I am missing her badly.

Aaliya "You're not understanding my words."

Aaliya please leave me alone. I am getting ashamed of myself by not able to find my Dadi.

Aaliya " Bhai... What you're going through now, is it your success or failure?"

I said leave me alone Aaliya. Why are you talking like this! Just leave me alone.

Aaliya "I am trying to make you understand something. I know you are not only worried about Dadi but also someone else whom I don't really like. Am I right?"

Aaliya.... I..... Yes....

Aaliya "Then think about my words again. You will get your answers. I am not able to say anything further as I know if I tell you then you will be aggravated. I will come back later."

Abhi looks on and thinks why Aaliya is talking like this.

How was it? Hope it is interesting. Hope it is not boring!
