Chapter 4

In morning

************

Pooja started her way towards her college.

Pallavi went with saurabh for something (that something is romance but don't tell anyone 🤫)

She will go to college with him only so now Pooja thought to have a walk to college and skipped the car .

She was enjoying the morning sun , bird's chirping, flower shop which opens in morning, joggers and specially the nature

Everything was so clear and beautiful as if it is just created right now .

Suddenly a bike came and halted in front of her

And a very handsome or say a cute boy hoped down by the boke .

She gasped as she got startled by this act of him .

Pooja - Neil you scared me

Neil - i am so sorry jaan ❤️, but why are you walking?

Pooja - just wanted to

Pooja was feeling very scared because Neil's feeling which is growing by each passing second.

Neil - no way , my would be wife will go by foot even after i am alive.

Not happening.

Come we will go together

Pooja - Neil it's ok, i will go

Neil - no means no, let's go jaan , we are getting late.

Pooja - in mind (oh god what will I do now, papa please help me)

College

*********

Shaheer , aham, saurabh and their group was sitting on their cars Bonet and passing their time when Neil came with Pooja in the backseat of his bike .

This made shaheer's heart burn like a wild fire 🔥.

Vin - shaheer bhai ?

Shaheer - hmmm

Vin - how many cars do you have?

Shaheer - why?

Vin - just answer me

Shaheer - two

Vin - and the total of you three brothers?

Shaheer - seven

Vin - including uncle aunty

Shaheer - maybe Twenty

Vin- including all of us

Shaheer - listen vin , i really don't have a plan to open a showroom.

So just shut up.

Lavanya- bhai the thing he wants to say is that we should burn our cars .

Aham - why?

Rohit - what is the use of those cars when Pooja is sitting behind a duffer that too in bike .

🤫

Days passed and Neil's love for Pooja was increasing with super speed .

It was making her scared.

He became almost insane in his love for her .

He was being very possesive.

The ever cute , sweet boy was being violent whenever some boy tries to talk with Pooja .

It was a family dinner in behel mansion .

Pooja was so restless and it didn't go unnoticed by anyone but everyone thought that it was about studies as she was a book worm 🐛.

After dinner everyone settle down in hall watching the old albums and videos.

Parag - aham , saurabh see this you know who are these two mischievous girls?

Aham - OMG, don't tell me papa they are avu and pallu ?

Dadi - ofcourse they are

Parag - you know

Avu - papa no

Parag - hahahaha hahahaha 😂

They locked maa in her room because maa told them to take bath early in the morning and then they were sleeping peacefully .

All were laughing at these mischievous girls .

Shaheer - uncle, this picture

Parag - ohhh this

Pooja was so fond of playing this game .

She used to play this all day .

Anamika - yes , she literally dragged bhai from his study to play with her .

And she cried whenever the bride leaves her home to go with her groom .

All the memories of childhood were playing in front of Pooja like a movie.

She gets soo imotional that without saying anything she just hugged her father and cried silently.

Everyone was stunned by her act but said nothing .

Parag - Pooja, laado what happened?

Pooja - Papa do you trust me?

Parag - ofcourse, more than anyone in the world .

Pooja - Promise me , if i did some stupidity in future, you will not stop loving me , no one of will .

Please

Avu - Pooja, oyeee you cry baby.

Pallu - avu , she seems serious .

Pooja - ofcourse i am di

Aham - hey princess no one can ever stop loving an angel like you.

Pooja - no jiju , i want promise.

Saurabh - o..ok we promise .

Aham and saurabh felt the depth of the matter because she never calls them jiju instead she always calls them jeegs .

After that day when she broke down in uncountable pieces.

Pooja ran to her room and locked herself .

Dhara - i think we should let her rest .

In Pooja's Room

*****************

Pooja was constantly staring at the picture of her dad .

Tears after tears were rolling down her eyes .

Pooja - why papa , why all this with me only.

Everyone loves me but can't i give them the happiness they deserve.

Please help me.

I love you papa.

The dicision i am gonna take will change some lifes but i have to do it .

She took her phone and called someone .

Pooja - hello, tej bhai.....

Next morning

**************

Everyone was sitting at dining table but there was no sign of Pooja .

Veer - morning everyone.

Everyone - morning

Veer - pranam kaki

Dadi - jeeta reh

Veer - wait a minute, where is Pooja?

Dhara - i am thinking the same .

Whenever she stays here she used to wake up before sunrise and make tea and breakfast for everyone .

Avu - don't worry ma , she must be studying all night, we will go and wake her up .

Dadi - yeah , go fast .

Avni and Pallavi went to Pooja's room .

But as usual avu will not stay a single second without mischiefs .

She lift the jug from the side table and poured it on Pooja .

But what made them shocked that Pooja didn't even moved a little .

They became tense and throw the blanket away but that made them more shocked .

Pooja was no were to be found

Bed , bathroom, balcony, terece nowhere.

Avu - Papaaaaa............

Pallavi ran down and shouted

Pallu - mamuuu Pooja is nowhere to be seen we searched whole house .

Parag - what ?

Avu - Poojaaaa ........

Parag - why is avu shouting like this .

Everyone ran upstairs scared by avu's screem .

Shaheer's heart was pounding in his chest wildly an unknown fear gripped his heart like a python .

Suddenly avu came out running and hugged parag and started sobbing.

Avu - paa..pa.papa , Pooja. aahahaaaaa...........

She broke down into tears , pallavi was also not different .

Everyone started searching for Pooja but there was still no sign of her .

Avu - this is all because of you.

Avu blamed shaheer but pallu stopped her as this was not the time to discuss all these .

Aham - i think we should ask tej bhai, maybe he knows something.

Saurabh - ok , i will call him .

Calling...........

Saurabh - out of reachable .

Parag - let's go to his house, Pooja might be there .

Everyone - yess

Everyone reached tej's house in just fifteen minutes .

But there was lock on the door.

Neither tej was there nor his car .

They waited for him and when it was enough for them they decided to call police that's when tej made his entry .

He was surprised by looking all of them at his house.

But his feelings changed into a worried one when he noticed the expression on their faces .

Tej - what happened Everyone?

Parag - where is Pooja?

Tej - airport.

Avu - what?

Why ?

Tej - don't you all know, she got a scholarship in newyork so she called me last night that she is having flight at 1 am so i went to drop her .

Maybe she gave reached till now as it's gonna be 12:00 .

Pallu - we knew about her scholarship but she told that she will not go .

Parag - call her right now.

Tej - okay.

Calling.........

Tej - unreachable

It's strange

Tej - wait , i will call Andrew

Shaheer - who is Andrew?

Tej - he was the one whom i appointed to arrange everything for her .

Shaheer - ohhh....

Tej - hey Andrew actually Pooja is not picking my call she must be busy, can you tell me where is she staying.

The name of the place .

Andrew - but sir she didn't reached till now.

I am still waiting for her outside the airport and it's gonna be one hour of flight landed here .

Tej - what?

Veer - tej what happened beta..

Dadi - tej , chore ke Hoya (what happened)

Tej - she haven't reached .

Where must be my princess?

Colours from everyone's face was faded now .

As if they lost there soul .

Somewhere on the earth.

A girl was seen with a cup of hot chocolate watching the seen infront of her and lost in some thoughts.

Chor aaye vo sab kuch,

Jo kabhi humara tha .

Jaha ki kashti bhi apni ,

Or kinara bhi humara tha.

Vo kya hai zindagi ko,

Kuch khaas pasand nahi aaye hum .

Humare beech ka rishta,

Na kabhi humara , na kabhi tumhara tha .
