"AAARYYAAAA!" Rehansh yelled out in panick as he got up drenched in sweat making vansh panick seeing his brother still pale and dazed still mumbling the girl's name over and over again

"Rehan...Reh-Rehan...mei yaha hoon!" Vansh caught hold of his shoulder

"Arya? Ansh...Arya..ko kuch-"

"Kuch nahi hua hogaa Teri Arya ko...!"

"Meri Arya...va-Voh .uh...mil toh jaayegi Naa...voh-"

"Arhaan ,Shivin aur Arav Gaye hai..unhe mil jaayegi...... please calm down Rehan!" Vansh requested,"tumhaari halat theek nahi...Achaanak se behosh hogaye theyy tum...please zyaadha stress mat lo!" He said rubbing his back and tried to make him lay down

"Kuch nahi hua hai mujhe!" Rehansh argued

"Toh kya randomly behosh ho jaana normal hai??" Vansh asked," chalo mene khaana order kiyaa hai...toh khaalo ....subah se kuch nahi khaaya hai tumne!"

"Nahi...meri Arya...voh iss waqt pata nahi kyaa karahi hogi...voh-"

"Arya safe hi hogi...lekin agar tum ab khaaogey nahi toh bimar pad jaaoge Rehan.. please...thodaa sa khaa lo atleast...Teri Arya ko dhoondne jitna strength toh milegaa!" Vansh said making him nod silently as Vansh smiled seeing Rehansh's nod and started feeding his brother

"Tumne khaaya?" Rehansh asked as vansh nodded in negative...so he started feeding vansh finally after eating Vansh's phone rang...so he gave Rehansh a glass of juice and went outside to talk

"Boss!Cafe ko humaare instructions k muthabik jalaya thaa...There are only burnt bodies and property lying around...Phir bhi Poora cafe chhaan maar liyaa....bhabhi ka belongings nahi milaa except for her phone...i mean destroyed phone with no sim or memory card has been recovered! Aage kyaa kare boss!?" Arav asked

"Kahi ladki Jal-Val toh nahi gayi hogi nah?" Vansh asked as panick crept in

"Not possible boss....kyuki jalane se pehle dono guards ne saari cafe mei Bhabhi ko doonda...voh nahi mili...toh isiliye jala diyaa!" Arav answered

"Toh police ka-"

"Voh sab mei sambhaal loonga boss!" Arav assured

" Arhaan ko try karneko kaho...ki iss phone mei se kuch useful mil sakta hai kyaa...aur yeh doondo ki voh Alibaugh mei kyaa kar rahi thi!!" Vansh ordered and hung up... returning to Rehansh's room

"Bohot nafrat karti hogi na voh mujhse?" Rehansh asked as his usual stern voice faltered...tears streaming  down his cheeks.... making Vansh's fist clench as he cursed Arya a hundred times for hurting his brother to this extent yet he sighed and sat down near him... Taking his twin's hand in his

Looked him in the eyes and said
"Nahi karegi nafrat...kyu hi karegi bhala!?"

"Nahi mei voh mafia-" Rehansh thoughtless answered

"Chup! Voh Teri galati nahi hai...aur haa agar usse gussa bhi hogaa toh mei...uss samjhaaungaa...aur voh samjhegi bhi...tu bass tension mat le...hum jald hi usse dhoond lenge..okay?"

"Okay..." Rehansh meekly whispered as he felt his eyes getting heavier and heavier....and slowly he was in deep sleep

"Sorry rehan...Rest abhi tumhare liye kaafi zaroori hai... isiliye sedatives mix kardiyaa!" Vansh sighed sadly remembering how his brother fainted and got up yelling out her name as gently wiped his tears off , putting the blankets over him...then walked out of his room securely locking it from the outside as he strictly instructed his guards to not let Rehansh outside knowing very well he would over exert himself just to find her

Mumbai:
Sarvodaya Apartments:
4:00PM:

Finally after a very long and tiring journey the boys reached Arya's home as Rehansh ran out of the car not even bothering to shut the door as he sped upstairs to her flat.... Banging not wrong... Pounding on the door harshly...He was answered with silence as the others reached up the stairs and sighed in defeat....When a neighbour aunty Came out of her apartment to be faced with 5 big dudes just standing there in front of her .. slightly intimidated by their appearance she staggered a bit

"Hello Aunty....Aapko kuch pata hai kya Arya kaha gayi hai??" Rehansh asked not bothering to conceal his concern which was pretty evident in his voice

"Voh aap-" the woman slightly stuttered in doubt but seeing Rehansh's urgency and irritation to somehow reach Arya... Arhaan decided to interfere inorder not to raise doubts

"Voh mei...uska friend...uska phone lag nahi raha hai...phir hospital mei bhi nahi thi apne shift mei...toh ghabrahat si ho Rahi thi!" Arhaan calmly explained

"Voh beta...voh toh 4 din pehle hi chali gayi thi yaha se..Uske kuch doston k saath...!" The woman explained recalling how Arya got out of the apartment along with her friends

"Aunty ji Kaha gayi hogi pata hai kya?? " Arav asked

"Kaise pata hoga beta...kaha baat karti thi voh ladki...badi hi shaant...aur apne kaam se kaam rakhti thi...!Vaise bhi nayi aayi hai naa toh aisa hi hoga na kuch time k liye!"

"What do you mean nayi aayi hai?" Vansh asked in doubts

"Arre Mera matlab...Voh toh abhi bass kuch 20-25 din pehle hi aayi thi!" The woman explained

"Toh pehle kaha rehti thi...iska koi idea hai??" Shivin asked

"Pata nahi betaa...!" The woman replied as Rehansh sharply turned on his heels as he quickly sped down stairs....Vansh too ran behind in concern...Just like his instincts doubted.....his twin was crossing the road paying zero attention towards the car speeding towards him...as Vansh quickly grabbed hold of his collar and pulled him behind when the car narrowly missed both of them.... Making vansh hug his brother in fright while  Rehansh still didn't seem to take notice of the seriousness of the recent incident...he just slightly pushed Vansh and walked towards the car parked on the opposite side of the street...His Mind still thinking of the way to reach Out to Arya while the Shivin and Arav began consoling The angry Vansh....Arhaan somehow understood the inner turmoil and the shock Rehansh has been going through....It's true how Arhaan was the most empathetic, Calm and jovial but still behaves like a baby....' slightly immature for his age' as his brother's as well as his father quoted still he got all the support from all the female members of the family but reality is  that it's  a part of his behaviour because of getting pampered by his mother as he is her only child....Yet there's nothing that could doubt his abilities as a hacker in his brother's gang nor the skills he possesses as one of the successful Music Producer

"Rehan bhai...Arya-" he paused looking at Rehansh's deadly expression and corrected his error," I mean bhabhi...Ko doond lenge...aap tension mat lo! Zara shaanti se socho...thoda khaa pee lo..phir acche ideas aayenge!" Arhaan suggested

"Kaise shaant ho jaaun? Kal se pata nahi kaha hai voh...abhi hospital mei bhi nahi hai...Poore alibaugh mei bhi koi hotel mei stay nahi Kiya thaa usne....Trains mei bhi uske naam pe tickets book nahi hua hai...Kaise pareshaan nah ho jaaun? Huh!?" Rehansh asked with tears of frustration and defeat flowed through his cheeks...He never ever felt so fucking helpless and stuck in his entire life

"Okay...let's see ki bhabhi pehle kaha rehti thi!...I have a hunch...it could be near that seven hills hospital...Then Iss area mei bhi doond lenge..okay? Mei Shivin aur Arav ko keh doonga...aaj hi karenge voh! Lekin abhi aap please ghar chalo thoda rest Karo...Zaroor mil jaayegi Hume bhabhi!"

"Theek hai"Rehansh sighed getting into the car while Arhaan told Shivin and Arav about his idea as they went to work immediately....Then Arhaan and Vansh returned in the car... driving off to the place Rehansh suggested

THE STORYBOOK CAFE:
5:00PM:

"Arya ..vaha hospital mei gharpe nahi hai...toh usually...yaha aati hai... aisa usne kaha thaa...ye-yeh uska favourite place...so yaha...hogi...sachmei hogi naa?" Rehansh mumbled the last part to himself like a child missing his mother's solace... Ofcourse he did miss his Arya...as she was always a resemblance of his mother to him...a mother he lost ages ago...and now again lost someone who resembles his mother so much too....."Can't all the people I love stay with me forever?" He questioned himself

"Himmat mat haaro Rehan bhai... Bhabhi jaldi mil jaayegi!! Arhaan tried cheering him seeing his sulking face while vansh just scoffed,"stupid storybook cafe...aur na jaane kaha kaha jaana padega iss ladki k liye??" Vansh thought to himself silently because he didn't want to add to his brother's stress

"Here..here it is!" Rehansh Hurriedly indicated the cafe as Arhaan slowly parked their car...While Rehansh sprinted inside making both of his brothers sigh seeing him running around like a madman for a mere girl...

Rehansh looked frantically around the cafe but didn't find Arya there....and reached the counter...and asked,"ah...Aapne Meri Arya...Arya Trivedi ko kahi dekhaa hai kya?" The man behind the counter looked at Rehansh suspiciously taking a note of his disheveled state, Crinkled shirt and red eyes...He looked nothing less than a mental case....As his brothers came and stood right beside him and glared at that guy who gulped hard in fright recognising Vansh Raisinghania and

"Arya Trivedi...I mean..I feel like I have heard it before...if you  had any photo sir?" He asked meekly to which Rehansh aggressively nodded and took out the only  picture he had with her

"This Girl...is..My Arya...Have you seen her anywhere here??" Rehansh asked desperation clear in his voice... making Vansh place his hand on Rehansh's shoulder

"Ansh bolna...usko!! Itna derr kyu laga raha hai...meri Arya ko meri zaroorat hai!! Please!" Rehansh did something he never did in his whole damn life...He begged...he begged to his brother to find his lady love... making vansh take charge of the situation

"Poochaa hai usne kuch! Jawab dho!" Vansh threatened in his deep voice

"Si-Sir...voh.. Ma'am aaj..voh aayi nahi...voh pichle 2-3 din se aayi nahi...!" The man blurted out in fear

"Theek hai...pata hai kya... ma'am kaha milegi iss waqt??" Arhaan asked

"Voh...koi idea nahi sir!" The man answered

"Aur kuch maalum hai ma'am k baare mei...koi dost? Rishtedar?kareebi?" Arhaan asked shoving a 2000 Rupees note in his hand...But the man again nodded in negative making Rehansh rush out of the cafe...as both the brothers followed him back to the car... Looking around twice the man behind the counter went straight to the backdoor of the cafe and called someone

"Yes sir...aaye theyy yahaa...Ma'am ko dhoondne...Mene mana kardiyaa sir...kuch bhi nahi bataya..." The man explained and smiled as he received the notification of the reward he received via bank account
