Vijaya searched the whole house but her daughter was not there. She was hell worried for her. Numerous thoughts crossed her mind but she didn't wanted to give them a heed.

She called every staff person of the house but no one had any clue about her daughter's sudden departure. One staff member suggested to check cash and other valuable of the house which made Vijaya more angry and she shouted on him.

She asked them to leave and then started calling every Friend of Suvi.

It's was afternoon when she was tried calling each and every person who had talked with Suvi, who knows her, anyone with whom she was seen were called and asked about her but all her attempts went in vain. There was no information of her from anyone.

At last Vijaya thought to report her daughter Missing complaint to the police. She reached the police station with Suvarna latest photo and pleaded to the inspector incharge to take immediate action.

Inspector - Madam please have some water and Calm down. We understand your state of mind but we can't fill a complaint before 24 hours of missing and you are telling me you last saw her at 7:30 p.m yesterday evening.

Vijaya - I don't know any rules sir. I just want my daughter back. Safe and sound.

Inspector - I understand that madam but we can't file a report. Your daughter is a minor so I will inform my patrolling team to start searching for her. Right now I am capable of only doing that.

Vijaya nodded her headed as she very well understand the situation where Survana has put her.

Mumbai....

Suvarna was tried explaining to the admin clerk about her uncle being the ex-student of the college but the clerk was persistent about not giving any details regarding any Ex- student of the college.

This was the first hurdle she faced from when she left her house. She knew the road wasn't easy but she couldn't come up with anything to come out of the situation.

She was angry and dejected but she had not lose any hope. She was still sitting outside the office, when it was time to lock the college office the peon asked her to leave the bench.

Her face fell but then she stood up and asked the peon.
"Uncle, can you please help me, I am searching for my father's home address. He has studied here. Please."

"You can ask about the same to your father." The peon replied and started moving further.

"I would have, if he was alive." Survana murmured and the old peon stopped. He pitted the girl and asked her to come with him.

They reached a room behind the clerk office and the peon turned on the lights. "Beta, this is record room from 1920 to 2003 all the students information is here you can search it yourself."

Suvarna nodded her head and moved towards the cupboard. She started counting years on her fingers. She concluded that her father would be of her uncle's age so might be around 38 or 39. She searched files between 1982 to 1985 but she didn't find Arvind name in anyone.

Her eyes were full of tears and when the peon realised that it will be mid night in half an hour, he asked Survana to come with her to his house.

The 14 year old was terrified by the peon words. Gauri and Vijaya has always asked her to be careful with men. She decided she couldn't go with him. She stood there thinking about some excuse but where she could go right now, she had no one idea.

The old peon saw that the brave girl was now nervous and he understood the reason very well to why she was not replying him. "Beta, my home is in the quarters of college towards the backside garden. I stay there with my wife and 3 daughter's. You can stay with us there."

"No, I can't." Suvarna replied with confidence.

"Don't worry. First you come with me and if you think you can't stay then I could arrange for some place for you to stay."

Survana agreed hesitantly. She walked with the old peon after locking the record room.

She quickly asked her Assistant to pass the message about the whole unfortunate incident happened in their life.

31 st March, 10.00 pm. Mumbai

Survana, the old peon and the peon daughter 's Palak and Kaveri were searching files from 1975 to 1985 but there was no one named as Arvind Kashyap. "All the files form mechanical engineering is here dear but no one is named as Arvind Kashyap." The old peon conveyed to Survana with Sympathy.

Survana wiped her tears and replied. "My uncle is mechanical engineer kaka, I don't understand why his name is not in the list. He clearly told me that he went to St. Xavier's college and he was my father's roommate in the hostel room no. 801."

"Why don't we search the hostel record room, that would be easy." Palak suggested

"We can't dear because I don't have those keys. Prakash, the greedy person he is in incharge of the records room of boys hostel for maintenance and cleaning. That greedy man would never agree to help us without being bribe and also after giving him money I don't think he will be any helpful to us." The old peon cleared the air and every one was upset after knowing that.

"What if we seek in there ?" Kaveri suggested.

"I don't have keys dear." The old peon stated

"But I have Pins." Palak grinned as she removed her hair pins and showed to the three.

"Can you open the lock di ?" Suvarna questioned.

"That we are going to find out." Palak gave her a perfect 32 teeth smile.

2 nd April, Pune.

Vijaya wake up from sleep all sweaty and confirmed her surrounding. This was the fourth day her daughter had been Missing and the 3 th night she couldn't sleep. There rang doorbell of her house and she rushed out of her daughters room and hurriedly opened the door.

The ray of hope, she had that her daughter might have returned home vanished and she was engulfed in the hug by Gauri.

Arvind entered the house and directly went towards Suvarna room. He again searched the room after being checked by Vijaya and then by the police. It took him an hour to check everything but he couldn't find a single clue just as others.

When Arvind dejected came down to the hall, he witnessed Gauri and Vijaya being a crying mess. Arvind has always found his Wife strong more than others but from the time she had known that their daughter is missing, she had been difficult to handle.

He hardly composed himself and asked Vijaya."There is no letter from her nor any sign of force entry or struggle for resistance has been found. I am sure Vijaya, she is upset with me. The moment she will know we have arrive here she is going to come running."

A sob left from Vijaya's mouth and she confessed "I tried everything in my capacity to keep my daughter safe, I am not a good mother Gauri. She was upset and angry but I never thought she was capable of pulling such stunt."

"I promise you Aatri I will bring our Suvi back to you. No matter what I have to do, I will bring her back." Arvind promised Vijaya and she hugged him.

They were his Friends, her Husband friends but they always stood with her like a rock. Aatri had lost her mother at 6 and she was brought up by her Grandmother as her father was a Army man and staying with him was not preferable for her.

Aatri had lost her father in india - Pakistan 1971 war fight and shortly after that her grandmother. It was a 16 year old girl send to the orphanage by the neighbours as they didn't wanted an extra responsibility. Aatri had her father house and saving. She had completed her remaining education which was funded through the Pension and compensation military had offered in the name of his father and she had recieved scholarship from the college as her being an topper student and an athlete.

It was Gauri who had supported her when she had lost her love and it was Arvind who had became her strength and always stood with her in good and bad times. She was now on verge of losing her daughter and she could come up with strength to hold herself. She had waited for 4 days but Survana had not returned.

She was losing her self again when her friends had arrived and they gave her hope. She will find her daughter no matter what but she won't lose this time to her destiny.

She had lost everything but not her daughter, not her only hope. So she wipped her tears and hold Arvind and Gauri hands and promised herself "Even if I have to cross the ocean for her, I will but I won't stop till I found my daughter.
