I reached home and noticed my father sitting on the chair and reading the newspaper.

"How are you, Arvind ?" my father inquired.

Its been a week since I have seen him the last time. He is a busy businessman, unlike me, with construction stuff. His unconditional love for us has no bounds. He is our only strength.

"Fine, Dad," I replied.

"What happened to Lalitha? Is she not coming to work?"

Lalitha is our housemaid. He is not aware of the fact that she is on leave for 4 days. However, I didn't face any inconvenience as my sister has come home. And even if the sister wasn't there, I could have managed as I am good at cooking.

"She took leave for one week and went to her hometown."

"Why didn't she inform me?" He murmured.

"No, Dad... She told me that she wanted to inform you too and asked me to call you. I told her that's not a problem. Anyway, I know sister would be coming here."

"Hmm..."

"You came!...come. Let's have lunch together ", my sister jumped in.

We all sat at the dining table and had a family lunch after many months. After lunch, we spent some time talking about pieces of stuff revolving in our little worlds.

The day went very smooth with real meaning for the time spent together. I had a tight sleep after sumptuous dinner.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARVIND POV:

The next day I woke up early and got ready, had breakfast, and went to our familiar spot to talk to Sunil.

Both of us were on time at our spot.

"Bro... are you serious about that girl?" he inquired.

"Of course, I am !! There is no second thought," I huffed by crossing my hands against my chest. How can he ask such a weird question after having a lot of discussions on this topic yesterday?

"No, Bro... these girls are too much to handle."

"What happened?" I questioned.

"These girls' moods swing a lot. We can't handle them," he answered in a perplexed mood.

I understood where our conversation was leading to; He might have pissed off with Kavya.

"Is it kavya again?"

"I made some time and went to spend time with her. But, she showed attitude and talked to me irritatingly. Now, she called me again and talking to me with so much care. I don't understand her."

My phone suddenly rang, and the mobile screen blinked Kavya's name.

I looked at Sunil.

"Kavya?" he asked me in a whisper-like voice.

I nodded in affirmation.

"Don't say that I am here."

"Hi, Kavya " I tried to talk usually.

"Hand over the phone to Sunil," she said abruptly

I switched on the speaker to let him hear the conversation.

"He is not here. Why? Is there any problem?"

"I know he is with you. He told me yesterday that he would meet you today early in the morning. And your speaker is on. So, I know he is also hearing." She coldly cut off my question.

We both stood there, dumb.

"convey my apologies to him as I was not in a good mood yesterday. I am in my periods."

Every girl's problem! I thought.

" Sunil, if you don't come in the evening to my home, I would call uncle and ask to arrange our marriage as soon as possible," she said in a demanding voice.

Look at it. A few minutes back, Kavya was apologizing. And, now she started blackmailing. I laughed, looking at Sunil. I felt sorry for him as he was dealing with her mood swings big time.

"I will come," Sunil said curtly and pressed the red button.

Sunil likes Kavya but just couldn't withstand her mood swings. Anyways he became normal within no time.

"Now let's talk about your Love bro. You have seen her twice. Right. First time at the Krishna Kanth park and the second time at the bus stop."

"Okay! Can you remember anything other than the phone in her hands", he further inquired.

"Hmm... Bike Keys: She had bike keys."

"So, she came on a bike," he said.

"Yeah, I have seen her going on a bike with someone."

"Can you remember the bike number ?"

Now, this was too much. When my angel was in front of my eyes, how could I look at anything else other than her?

However, I tried to remember.

On trying a lot, "TS09", I murmured.

With that registration number, there is a possibility that she is from Hyderabad as

Andra Pradesh and Telangana departed a few years ago, and TS registration is for Telangana. [There are 29 states in INDIA. Out of them, two are Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, which are divided into two sates in 2014].

"We cannot be sure that it's her bike. There is a possibility that it's somebody else too."

"Can be possible... But think positive as we have no other options yet and can rely on our instincts."

I nodded in affirmation.

Sunil googled for the TS09 registration number.

The areas that come under TS09 are "Kairathabad, Banjara Hills and Ameerpet," he confirmed after browsing in Google.

"So, the bike owner is from one of these areas."

"Exactly," he said.

Moreover, the Krishna Kanth park is very near to these three areas.

"The Second time you had seen her is near Orange bus travels, correct ?"

"hmm.."

"Did she have any luggage with her?" he further enquired.

"She had a bag," now I was patting on my back for the memory I had.

"So, she might have traveled like you from somewhere to Hyderabad."

"By the way, Why you got down at that place, Arvind?" he was interrogating me like a detective now. That's like him. If there is any work given to him, he gets down to the bottom of it.

"Because that stop is near to my home."

"There could be a possibility that she is staying somewhere around that area," I whooped in excitement and hugged Sunil.
