Abhi cut the call in panic. Avu also got worried. She told Ritz and Malika about it.

Malika: Kahi prank to nhi kar raha tha?

Ritz: Hnn Avu tu sure hai na? I mean Vaish kaha jaegi aur?

Avu: I know right. But guys Abhi ki awaaz se lag nhi raha tha ki prank. I am sure kuch to gadbad hai

Malika: To ab kya karenge?

Avu: Pta nhi

She said tensed. All were too worried.

Meanwhile with Abhi

He was too scared. He called Sid who was busy scrolling his phone lying on bed.

Sid: Hnn be. Ho gyi date?

Abhi: Abe konsi date? Mereko yaha itni tension ho rahi hai?

Sid: Kyu? Tune fir kuch ulta seedha kar dia?

Abhi: Nhi be. Vaish pata nhi kaha hai

He said in trembling voice. Sid sat up on bed with a jerk.

Sid: Kya bakk raha hai be?

Abhi: Mein sach bol raha hu yrr

He said almost in tears.

Abhi: Mujhe bohot tension ho rahi hai yrr. Meri Vaish

Sid: Abhi agar prank hua na to bohot dhounga tujhe I swear

Abhi: Nhi Sid mein sach bol raha. Mujhe Vaish ki kasam. Vaishu yaha nhi aayi. 7 baje hostel se nikali thi. Pata nhi kaha hai. Please meri help karo yrr

Sid: Okk okk. Tu chinta matt kar. Hum sab aate hai

He hung up the call quickly.

He said in a serious tone.

Dev: Kya hua? Kon marr gia?

Jai: What the fuck? Kya bol raha hai?

Sid: Sach keh raha hu. Hume abhi nikalna padega

Dev: Hnn theek hai. Chalo

They all were sitting in sandos and shorts. They quickly wore their clothes and shoes.

Sid: Guys ek second

Ish: Ab kya hua?

Sid: Dekho Shekhar sir ke saamne normal behave karna. We can't afford getting another problem

All nodded.

Sum: Alright. Chalo

They all went out. Sid got Avu's call. He handed it to Dev.

Sid: Baat kar usse. Mein sir se permission leta hu. Bol dena tension matt le

Dev nodded. All went inside Shekhar's room.

Shekhar: Tum sab yaha iss time? Ab kya naya kaarnama kia?

Sid: Sir hum sab thodi der ghoom aaye?

Shekhar: Kyo? Kis khushi mein?

Sid: Andar bethe bethe bore ho gye hai sir

He tried to sound as casual as possible.

Shekhar: Iss time?

Ish: Hnji sir. Please

Sum: Okk sir

Shekhar signed their outing. They came out. Dev handed his phone.

Sid: Kya bola?

He asked going out.

Dev: Vahin Vaish ka. Maine bol dia hun ja rhe hai. Tension na le

Sid nodded. They picked up their bikes and went to same restaurant where they arranged date. They reached and saw Abhi sitting there. They went near him. He was in tears biting his nails. Sid kept a hand on his shoulder. Abhi looked up with a jerk and stood up and hugged him tightly. Abhi couldn't control and broke down.

Abhi: Sid meri Vaishu

All were looking at him sadly. Sid rubbed his back.

Sid: Kuch nhi hoga hamari Vaish ko. Tu chinta matt kar. Hum milke doondte hai

Abhi calmed down after few minutes.

Jai: Guys 10 baj gaye hai. 11:30 hume wapis pohonchna hai

Sid: Dekho hum sab city ki alag alag side jaate hai. Jisko kuch pata chale bakio ko inform kar dena. Theek hai?

All agreed. They choosed one side of city and went on their respective bikes. Sid took Abhi with him as they thought he is not in condition to leave alone. They all were extremely tensed. They searched every corner of city but sadly couldn't find anything. At 11:15, Sid conference called everyone.

Sid: Guys kuch pata chala?

Sum: Nhi Sid

Dev: No

Jai: Mujhe bhi nhi

Ish: Nothing guys

Dev: Ab?

Sid: Dekho abhi hostel chalte hai. Problem ho jaegi agar nhi pohonche. Aur abhi hum ek aur problem nhi le skte. So let's go back

Abhi: Mein Vaishu ko bina nhi jaaoonga

Sid: Abhi baat ko samajne ki koshish kar. Aur problem ho sakti hai. Filhaal chalte hai. Kal dekhte hai kya karna hai

All convinced him and he unwillingly agreed as they didn't have any other choice. They reached back at 12 AM. When they were doing entry at gate, Sid realized something but didn't speak. After everyone's entry, they handed register to gate keeper and came inside.

Sid: Guys

Ish: Ab kya?

Sid: Yrr Vaish ki entry?

Dev: Fuck

Jai: Pata chal jaega wapis nhi aayi

Sid: Ek kaam karte hai. Girls ko bolte hai kisi tarah aake karde

Sum: Hnn sahi hai

They went in room. All were consoling Abhi except Sid. Sid called Avu.

Avu: Sid Vaish ka kuch pata chala?

Sid: Avu hum kal fir jaenge. Tum chinta matt karo

Avu: Kaise chinta na karoo?

Sid: Dekho tumhari madad chahie

Avu: Bolo

Sid: Kisi tarah girl's hostel ke gate par Vaish ki entry kar aaoo

Avu understood.

Avu: Okk

He told her not to worry when he was himself too worried. Avu told girls everything. They went out quitely. Avu asked girls to distract gate keeper.

Ritz: Bhayia

GK: Hnji? Aap sab iss time yaha?

Mallika: Hnji wo bass neend nhi aa rahi thi to socha walk kar aaye

GK: Oh

Ritz: Waise bhayia saari raat yaha khade rehna mushkil hai na?

GK: Wo to hai par karna padta hai. Kaam hai

Avu successfully did Vaish's entry and gestured girls to come. They bid bye to GK and went back. No one could sleep that night. All were praying for Vaish. Abhi's tears had dried up but he didn't speak a word.
