Hi everyone..!!
An early update...!!
Happy reading..!!
In the hotel, the four were stunned to realize they had mistakenly abducted someone else. Ishu and Shubh exchanged nervous glances, their hearts racing with fear, while Jaddu and Shikhar wore expressions of deep concern and tension.
" Hume kuch bhi karke pta lagana pdega ki vir ki jagah kon hai Ro ke saath" declared Jaddu, his determination setting the tone.
" Aur Tum dono" he pointed at Ishu and Shubh, "kisi ke aage kuch nahi bologe....mahi bhai ke to saamne bhi mat ana...jab tak hum pta nahi lga lete..smjhe"  Jaddu instructed the kids who nodded obediently.
After hitting the gym, Virat absentmindedly strolled to Ro's room, forgetting about their silly fight. But to his surprise, the room was empty.
" Yeh panda itni jaldi uth ke kaha chala gya" Vi wondered aloud, then recalled, "Mahi bhai ke paas" Hastily, he dashed to Mahi bhai's room, but once again, it was vacant.
"Bhai bhi gayab hai ..sab kaha chle gye subah subah" Vi mused, colliding with Bhuvi lost in his thoughts.
" Careful Vi...Kaha khoya hua hai" Bhuvi asked, concerned.
" Umm vo....Ro aur Mahi bhai room mein nahi hai .. pta nahi kaha chle gye subah subah" Vi replied, his worry evident in his voice.
"Mahi bhai ko maine terrace pe jaate hue dekha tha..." Bhuvi informed 
" Aur Ro? " Vi inquired 
" Tu Ro ke baare mein puch rha hai...mtlb ldai khtm?" teased Bhuvi.
" Ladai?....O hann...main to usse gussa hu...mujhe kya kahin bhi gya ho" Vi pretended indifference, though he was secretly worried.
" Vaise maine to Ro ko last kl raat hi dekha tha..." Bhuvi continued, noticing Vi's change in demeanor.
Just then, Ash and Ajju approached, noticing Vi's concerned expression.
" Kya hua Vi...itna pareshaan kyu hai?" Ajju asked.
" Main pareshaan?...nahi to...main koi pareshaan nahi hu..." Vi replied dismissively, though his tense demeanor betrayed his true feelings.
Ajju and Ash glanced at Bhuvi, who struggled to contain his laughter. To further tease Vi, Bhuvi asked, " Have you guys seen Ro? " 
Both Ash and Ajju shook their heads, " He must be sleeping guys ...itni jldi utha hai vo kabhi" Ajju remarked with a chuckle.
" He is not in the room " Vi blurted, realizing he shouldn't have joined the conversation but how can he stop himself when it is about his Ro
Just then, Jaddu and Shikhi joined them, curious about the discussion.
" Kya baat hai ...konsi discussion chal rahi hai yahan" Jaddu asked.
" Kisi ka soulmate mil nahi raha hai " Bhuvi teased Vi, who shot him a glare.
Jaddu and Shikhi exchanged a knowing look, catching the attention of Ash and Ajju.
" Yahin kahin hoga....mil jaega" Shikhar reassured Vi, trying to cover up their unintentional chaos, but ending up stumbling over his words.
Meanwhile 
With a gun pointed at Ro's head, panic surged through Ab. "Ab... go... just go!" Ro pleaded, his voice filled with desperation. But Ab couldn't move, paralyzed by fear and the overwhelming need to protect his friend.
"No," he whispered hoarsely, shaking his head in refusal. Despite his own terror, abandoning Ro was a choice he couldn't make.
Dont be a fool Ab ...just leave" Ro pleaded once more, but his words seemed to fall on deaf ears.
