..........

Veer gets a call from his PI and is surprised & happy to learn about a lead. He leaves for Chandigarh with Shivaay.

~Two days later~

Veer and Shivaay were staying at hotel. They had hired men to look through every possible hotel/place at Chandigarh. They dug up Bani and Annika's old contacts to find any connection between them and Chandigarh to find there were none. All their efforts were going in vain.

Shivaay: Ugh!!! This is so frustrating!! Kaisa useless PI hai tumhara...

Veer: Atleast my PI did some work unlike yours!!!

S: How does it matter when the work is meaningless...

V: Itna hai toh krwa lo apne PI se kaam....first check if he is doing anything at all....pta chala muft ke paise de raha hai tu...

They kept fighting for a while when Shivaay sighed.

S: I- ugh!! I don't know why we are fighting...

V: I know...Maybe it's just the restlessness of not knowing where my Bani is that is making me act this way..

S: Same...I fear. What if they are not okay? We'd never know!

V: I know...ek toh pta nahi ye kahan fasa diya hai PI ne...wait..

Veer calls him and yells at him for misleading leads.

PI: Sir...sir..meri baat suniye...khabar pakki hi thi...Ma'am ne flight li thi.....unki company server se ticket book hui thi..unki secretary ne kiye the book..Ma'am Chandigarh to pakka aayi thi...shyd yahan se kahin aur-

V: Shyd nahi! pakka pta krke bata wrna job chod de apna.....do log, jinki poori details hai tere pass...itna time lgta hai dhundne me.!?!?!?..

Shivaay kept his hand on his shoulder.

S: Shant-

V: Kaise?

PI: Sorry sir...I'll look faster....can you provide me contact of the other PI Mr. Oberoi hired?

V: Kyu?

PI: we can pool in our efforts and resources to work better..

Veer told this to Shivaay and he agreed. Veer told him that he will send him details and ended the call. He was visibly upset and went in the balcony. He looked at the moon and sighed.

V: Where are you sweetheart??

In a corner, Shivaay sat down and opened a picture of Annika on his phone.

S: I miss you meri khidkitor Annika...come back to me...

.................

While the men sat missing and trying everything to find their women, Bani and Annika sat down in their cabin. It had been two days since they arrived there and got their makeovers. They had tried every possible activity to keep their mind off their husbands. They would watch movies, read, shop and go on treks. It did work to some extent. Their days went by someone but nights were the hardest to survive.

The silence in the surroundings resonated with their heart. They missed their husbands but were hurt as well, deeply hurt. They wanted to be in their arms yet couldn't forget how easily their husbands had discarded them.

A: How long Bani?

B: what?

A: How long will we stay here...

B: I don't know...

A: Tumhe pata hai mujhe na man krta hai ki abhi ki abhi jaun aur SSO ko apni chameli se dho doon, unhe billu ji billu ji kehkr bohot chidau...unke kaan hi kha jaun...pr phir mn krta hai bs aise hi gayab ho jaun aur dhundne doon unhe mujhe..

B: Mera bhi mn krta Veer ki khoob dhulai kru aur phir ussi ke galle lag kr ro lu pr I know one thing...agr hum unke saamne jayenge toh pighal hi jayenge and punishments like revenge- are better cold.

They decided to let the men suffer a little longer before they'd start dropping hints.

.......

The next morning, Shivaay and Veer came back to Mumbai. Chandini was staying over as she had a modelling assignment. Veer was sitting in the hall trying to get some work done but he mind and heart were with his wife- at someone place unknown to him. Shivaay was calling home.

Gauri: Bade bhaiya, aap chinta mt kijiye...mil jayenge hone wali bhojai..

S: I know Gauri, Its just I am so tensed. Pta nahi kaise hogi...use janti ho na tum...musibat zyada din tk usse door nahi reh pati..

G: Hume pta hai...ghar pr bhi sb bohot pareshan hai..

Shivaay glanced upstairs and saw Chandini talking with someone on the phone and laughing. He recalled Veer telling him that she had a good rapport with Bani, yet, she did not look worried.

Shivvay ended the call and went to Veer.

S: Veer, I think teri behen kuch toh jaanti hai?

V: What? Nahi, agar usse pta hota toh bata deti..

S: Yaad kr uss selfie me bhi thi vo ..jisse hume sach pta chala tha..

V: Haan, usne kaha she met them and got a pic clicked but she does not know where they are..

S: Meri poori family tensed hai Annika ke liye aur tum apni behen ko dekho..

Veer looked at Chandini and did find her behaviour suspicious. He called his PI.

.........

Later that evening, Chandini came back from the assignment and saw the house completely dark. She was about to switch on the light when the table lamp came to life. She saw Veer sitting on the couch next to it with the switch in his hands,

C: Uff! Dara diya tha bhai..

Veer kept switching the lights on and off.

C: Kya hua bhai?? You are scaring me..

V: As I should! Where is Bani Chandini?

C: I don't know.

V: jhoot!

C: Sacchi bhai...

V: Tch tch tch!! bade bhai se jhoot?

He threatened Chandini. He hated making his sister scared but he had no other option. His PI had called him to inform that Chandini had been frequenting calls and money to a person but other details weren't found due to privacy set ups. When Chandini did not answer, he snatched her bag and took her phone. He began going through it.

C: hey! Give it back! respect my privacy...

V: Shivaay!!

Veer threw the phone at him. Shivaay began to scan through it. Meanwhile, Veer picked up a protesting Chandini and locked her up in a room.

S: I found it!!!

......

The next day, Bani and Annika arrived at their house after having lunch in the streets of Shimla.

Annika: I am so full!

They entered the house and Bani frowned.

Bani: wait! Wasn't the door unlocked?

Annika: shit! How?

They heard noises from upstairs. Annika picked up a vase from the table while Bani brought back knifes from the kitchen. The girls headed upstairs.

B: One..two...three!!

They opened the room door and screamed out loud.

A/B: AHHHH!!!!

They were ready to attack when they froze while looking at the person.

B: TUM!?!?

Veer looked at wife like a crazed, deprived man. He drank in her sight. Shivaay ran from the adjacent room after hearing the screams. Even he got amazed while looking at Annika.

S: Annika!!!

Annika glared at him. Bani did the same to Veer. The men put their heads down in shame.

B: How did you find us?

V: We went through Chandini's phone..

A: And why did you find us?

S: Because you both mean a lot to us..

A: jhoot! Hum toh cheaters hai na..toh kyu aye ho??

Veer and Shivaay looked down in shame while Bani and Annika went back downstairs, wondering what is next.
