A RoNakshi FF- Hero for Hire

Chapter 175

'Papa! Yeh..yeh..Sona ki flight..'

The sound of a glass breaking, had Rohit and Naren turning their heads.

Veena had just come out of the kitchen, in time to hear Rohit.

'Kya keh rahe ho Rohit? Tum ne bola tha na ek ghanta hai uss ki flight mein..aisa thori ho sakta hai..no, no..you are wrong..'
She fell on the chair beside her, her hands shaking.

Naren rushed to her, while Rohit rushed over to Arihaan, who began to cry, sensing the tension in the room.

'Arihaan! It's okay..sshhh..relax!'
Rohit tried soothing him, by lowering his tone.

'Rohit! Airport pe call karo..'
Naren advised, as he also picked up his phone to call some of his contacts.

The newscaster was speaking again, and Naren raised the volume to hear.

'Rescue teams or helicopters crash ki jagah pohonch gaye hain. Abhi tak kisi survivor ki khabar nahin aayi hai. Airport authorities bhi abhi tak sawaalon ke jawab nahin de paye hain..'

Rohit put down Arihaan in his rocker, as he slept, and moved towards the door.

'Kahan ja rahe ho?'
Veena called to him.

'Airport, Mom! Arihaan ka khayal rakhna..'

'Aray, Rohit! Aise kaise..'

'Papa! I can't sit and call from here. I need to go there and see for myself!'

'Ruko, Rohit! Mein bhi chalta hun..aise mein tum drive kaise karoge..'

'Aap yahin rahen, Papa! Ho sakta hai koi khabar yahan aajaye..'

Pari came running inside, with Ajit on her heels.

'Kya hua hai? Yeh plane..yeh..Di...' Pari swooned, and Ajit caught her.

'Pari! Sambhaalo khud ko! Kuch nahin hoga Sona Bhabi ko!'

'Tum kaise keh sakte ho? Un ki flight thi na woh..poora..poora plane gira..DI!' She screamed, tears rolling down her face.

'Pari! Aise mat karo, please! Arihaan darr jayega..uss ka khayal kaise rakho gi.'
Ajit made her sit on the sofa.

'Mein ja raha hun..kuch pata chalega to bataunga..'
Rohit had stopped to see if Pari was okay.

'Bhai! Kahan ja rahe ho?'

'Airport! Aise phone pe mein nahin pooch sakta..I need to go..'

'I'll take you..chalo..'

Rohit nodded.

'Pari, Mom..please Arihaan..'

'Tum jao..'

Rohit and Ajit rushed out of the house, Ajit getting behind the wheel, as they raced towards the airport.

           **************

'What do you mean you have no clue? Aap ko bithaya kis ne hai iss seat pe?'

Rohit was fuming at the officer, who kept telling him, that there had been no news of any passengers.
Ajit held him back, as Rohit would have moved forward to grab him.

They had arrived at an extremely chaotic airport, with people running here and there, looking for authorised personnel, searching for answers to their questions.
It had taken them better part of an hour to reach this officer, only to hear him say that they had no news.

'Bhai! Please, sambhaalen khud ko..aise ghussa kar ke kuch nahin hoga! In ko pata chalega to yeh batayenge na..'

'Kaise sambhaalun? Kaise? Koi mujh se kahe ke meri Sona ko zara si chott lagi hai, to hi mera haal bura hojaaye..or koi yeh kahe ke usse kuch hogaya..mein..mein to marr jaunga!'
Rohit had tears rolling down his cheeks, unheeded.
