Hi everyone..!!
Two updates in one day..!!
Happy reading..!!
In the hotel
" Yahin kahin hoga....mil jaega" Shikhar reassured Vi, trying to cover up their unintentional chaos, but ending up stumbling over his words.
Just then, Ajju's phone rang, startling everyone.
Ajju: "Hi Faf."
Vi couldn't help but wonder why Faf was calling Ajju at this hour...The day just keeps getting weirder.
Hearing Faf's name, Jaddu and Shikhi exchanged knowing glances, which Bhuvi quickly caught onto, muttering to himself "daal mein kuch to kaala hai".
On the other end of the call, Faf's voice crackled through the line,
Ajju scratched his head, perplexed. "Ab? I haven't seen him since morning...I'll check, but what would he be doing here?"
"He went to meet Virat last time and hasn't come home yet, so I thought to check," Faf explained.
Ajju's confusion only grew. "Oh, he came to meet Virat..."
"Virat, have you seen Ab? He was with you last night, right?" Ajju asked.
Virat's voice came through the receiver, "Me? Nah, I wasn't even at the hotel last night."
Vi, unable to contain himself any longer, grabbed the phone from Ajju's hand. "Faf, hi Virat here!"
" Virat, you're back?" Faf sounded surprised.
Ignoring the confusion, Vi blurted out, "Forget that, when did Ab come to meet me?"
"Last night...and he still hasn't shown up, so I thought maybe he stayed back at your hotel," Faf replied.
Vi's eyes widened in realization. "I'll check and let you know."
"Okay mate," Faf responded before hanging up.
Vi furrowed his brow, trying to make sense of the situation, " Tum logo mein se kisi ko pta tha ki Ab yahan aya tha " he inquired, looking at the group, who all shook their heads in unison, indicating they had no clue.
" Well, let's inquire at the reception then," suggested Ash, and they all marched towards the front desk.
"Good afternoon, sir. Yes, Ab sir arrived last night. Since you weren't here, he went to your room to wait for you," explained the receptionist.
Vi's concern grew evident. "My room? But there was no one when I returned," he said, feeling a knot of worry forming in his stomach.
Hearing that, realization dawned upon Shikhi and Jaddu that they had kidnapped Ab, mistaking him for Vi, they exchanged guilty glances, which went unnoticed only by Vi, who was preoccupied with concern for Ro and Ab.
" Sab gayab kaha ho rahe hai benstokes" Vi muttered, his frustration mounting.
Jaddu and Shikhi discreetly slipped away, but Bhuvi, Ajju, and Ash caught sight of their sneaky exit. They split up to search the hotel for the missing duo, each taking a different direction.
" Mtlb hmne Vi bhaiya ki jagah unke biscuit ko kidnap krlia " exclaimed Shubh, his eyes wide with disbelief.
" Ro bhaiya aur Ab saath mein " Ishu added, horror creeping into his voice as he imagined the chaos.
" WHATTTTT!!!!!" Ajju erupted, while Ash and Bhuvi glared at them from the doorway, demanding answers.
" What the hell is going on here? Who kidnapped whom? Ro and Ab are together? How? Where?" Bhuvi interrogated angrily, not pausing for a response.
