Journey of Mr and Mrs. Sabharwal

Chapter 31

Anokhi looks around in the Hall but cannot spot Shaurya.

Anokhi: all this is fine but where is he himself, is there any other surprise left?

Parth: no there isn't any surprise. He has gone out for some urgent work.

Aastha: out, that too this time. He was here only few minutes back. Where did he go so suddenly?

Anokhi: its ok maa he will be back. We will wait for him and she proceeds to her room.

Nimi: didi where are you going?

Anokhi: to my room.

Nimi: no you cannot go.

Anokhi: why?

Nimi: because bhaiya had said so. He said you can't go there.

Aastha: come sit with all of us.

Anokhi sits and talks with her parents and other family members.

Anokhi: Parth where is Shaurya? It's been an hour now. Is everything fine? I am feeling very anxious.

Parth: yes bhabhi trust me everything is fine. I don't know why is he taking so much time. I will call him.

Anokhi: i had called him but his phone is not reachable.

Aastha: don't worry Anokhi, he might be on his way.

Aarti: OMG 😱😱😱

Anokhi: aarti what happened? Why did you shout like that?

Aarti: nothing bhabhi I was reading some news(showing her phone). You see what a bad accident has happened.

Parth(worried): where?

Aarti: on the airport road.

Parth: what nonsense are you talking aarti. Turn on the TV.

Anokhi: what happened Parth, why do you look so worried?

Parth: nothing bhabhi just like that.

Anokhi: parth what is it tell me truthfully.😥😥😥

Parth: bhabhi actually bhaiya, wo bhaiya haina

Anokhi: Parth speak up, what is the problem.

Parth: bhaiya has gone to airport to recieve bua ji.

Anokhi(sits with a thud): no no he might be coming. The accident has happened just now. Why are you worried?

Just then they hear the news on TV saying that it was a very dangerous accident and casualty is still not known. A car is shown on the TV but number is not visible.

Anokhi(phone in her hand): why isn't Shaurya's phone getting through.

Shagun: sit down Anokhi. Divya give her some water.

Anokhi( teary eyes): mummy everything will be fine, right?

Shagun: yes everything will be fine. You drink water. Dekhna damadji abhi aayenge.

She does not respond and goes straight to the mandir and starts praying. In between she keeps asking Parth if Shaurya received the phone Or not. It's been two hours now but nobody was able to contact him. Now Anokhi was crying badly and everyone was consoling her.

Anokhi: maa why isn't Shaurya coming?

Aastha: you calm down he might be on his way. You stop crying.

Just then they hear some noise and Makkhan (MK) comes and calls out to Parth. Everyone turns to the door and are shocked. Shaurya is standing with MK holding him for support. His head is slightly bleeding and their are bruises on his arm.
