39. "Where is he?"

As the time went by, it was almost night but Siddhant Sharma was nowhere in the scene.

And everyone was worried now.

Chavi has been calling him since she came here and so were others. But his phone was going straight to voicemail.

"Kaha gaya ye ladka. Pata nahi hume chinta main dalne main kya maza aata hai ise." Aisha said almost on the verge of crying.
(Where is this boy. I don't know why he liked getting us all worried so much.)

"Don't worry maa. He'll be back soon. Why don't you go and rest and I sit here and wait for him?" Chavi insisted to Aisha.

"No beta. How can I rest when you are the one who is tired with all the travelling and stuff. I think you should go and rest, we'll wait for him. It he comes home by midnight. If not, I'll send Mehul and Miheer to search for him." Aisha said while patting her head but Chavi is a pretty stubborn woman.

"No maa. Am not tired aur na main apki sunne wali hu. You all go and rest. Main, Miheer aur Sirat rah dekh lenge. Haina guys?" She said and looked expectedly at the two of them.
(And nor am I going to listen to you. You all go and rest. Miheer, Sirat and I will wait for him. Right guys?)

"Sure whatever bhabhi says." Sirat replied with a smile while Miheer internally screamed knowing he ain't getting any sleep tonight. And it was very much evident on his face.

"You have to buddy." Sirat fake sympathetised with him and he his her on her back.

"Idiot." She muttered under breath and made her way towards Chavi after slapping him on the forearm.

"Guys. Stop it please. Not in such situations." Ved said and they both nodded while glaring each other and Chavi let out a chuckle.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

It was almost 11.30 but this man was no where in view.

"Bhabhi...can I go to washroom?" Miheer asked and Chavi looked at him as if he has grown two horns.

"Are you in school and I'm your master? Offcourse you can. You don't have to ask me. When have you turned his obedient buddy?" She asked the younger one, amused.

"Oh shut up! It's just that you returned today so I was showing you some courtesy. Get lost if you don't want it." He said making his way up the stairs and Sirat laughed at Chavi's face.

"Idiot." Muttered Chavi.

"Bhabhi...aren't you hungary?" Sirat asked.

"No. Are you?" She asked back.

"A little. Let's make maggi?" The hope on Sirat's face was too much. It almost blinded Chavi.

"Yea yea...you can go and make I'm not going anywhere until I see my husband." She said to the little girl who whistled at the open confession.

"People in love are crazy."

"Get lost." Chavi replied with a red face.

And then she was all alone in the big living area of the Sharma mansion.

She was getting anxious as per the minutes went by. Now it was almost 11.50 and he was no where in view.

She was still in her airport clothes. The white co ord set.

"Hey bhagwaan. Iss insaan ko thodi buddhi do ki ghar laut aaye."
She plead in her mind.
(Oh Lord. Give this man some sense to come back home.)

And just then she heard the lock opening of the main door. She alerted and stood up from the sofa with a jerk. Not knowing what to expect, whether Siddhant or a robber, she made her way near the main door with the vase on the side table of the sofa in her grip.

She stood near the door and waited for the person to come inside.

And after a moment, a well build man with fantastic sense of fashion came inside. He sensed something wrong and turned around.

Their eyes met.

And he froze on the spot.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Siddhant Sharma was back to the Sharma mansion! Chavi smiled at her thoughts before putting the vase down and running towards the man's arms.
