Next day at MPT:
There was only a constable appointed for night duty by dsp because the whole mpt was invited for the surprise..
Ks and ps reach mpt on Ks' bike and enter to find only the constable..

C- jai Hind maddam!
Ks- jai Hind.. koi nahi aaya ab tak?
C- nahi maddam.. hum hi hain yaha raat se..
Ks- theek hain.. ab tum jaa sakte ho ..
C- jai Hind maddam( and he leaves )

Ks- aaj baaki sab kaha reh gaye pj?
Ps- Hume kya pata.. roj toh sab humaare pehele hi thaana aa jaate hain.. pata nahi aaj kaha reh gaye..
Ks- aap santu aur Cheete ko phone kijiye .. hum ms ko karte hain..
Ps- ji..

They both tried calling but none of them received the call..
Ks- ms phone nahi utha rahi..
Ps- santu aur Cheete bhi nahi utha rahe..
Ks- hum ms ke ghar par call karke puchte hain..

Just then the landline rung and ps picked up.. her expressions changed from horrified to worried..

Ks- pj .. adil ji aur ms kal raat ghar nahi gaye..
Ps- abhi headquarters se phone tha.. dsp sir bhi ab tak headquarters nahi pahuche hain aur unhe bas itna pata hain ki kal raat vo humaare ghar par the...
Ks- kaa? Ye sab saath mein kaha gayab ho gaye?!
Ps- kal sab saath mein ms ki gaadi mein nikle the na..
Ks- kahi vo sab kisi khatre mein toh nahi?!
Ps- he Shivji! Sabki raksha karna..
Ks- amma par ab hum kaa kare??
Ps- Hume kisi senior ko bata dena chahiye.. nahi matlab 4 policewale gayab hain aur ek doctor.. usme se ek toh sheher ke dsp..
Ks- par agar ye baat bahar nikli toh pure sheher mein bawal mach jaayega!
Ps- toh ab hum kar bhi kya sakte hain?
Ks- unhe pehele khud dhundhne ki koshish karte hain.. agar shaam tak nahi mile toh dig sir ko bata denge hum..
Ps- pehele unka phone trace karne ki koshish karna chahiye..
Ks- sahi kaha pj.. hum abhi karte hain ..

Ks tried locating everyone's phone but none of them were traceable..

Ks- pj! Inki last location humaare ghar ki hi hain..
Ps- toh ab?
Ks- hum pehele toh apni network active karte hain.. aur jis raaste se ms kal gayi thi vaha ki cctv footage nikalvate hain..
Ps- network active karna toh theek hain.. par aap bhul gayi? Kal bijli gayi thi.. cctv kaha se chal raha hoga?
Ks- Arre haa.. toh hum khud uss raaste se jaakar dekhte hain.. kuch na kuch surag jarur milega.. aap thaana sambhaliye aur un sabka phone try karte rahiye..
Ps- aap akele jaayengi?
Billu- hum hain na!
Ks- amma billu tum kaha se prakat ho gaye?
Billu- abhi abhi goa se lauta hu.. aur yaha aakar dekhta hu ki sab gayab!
Ks- Haa haa chalo ab jaldi ..

Ks and billu leave in ks' bike while ps stays back..

Flashback to previous night:
Hm was driving in darkness and she didn't realise that she had taken the wrong turn.. they kept going straight on the road ..

Hm- ya allah! Ye hum kaha aa gaye?
As- kya matlab?
Hm- matlab ye ki andhere ke karan shayad humne kahi galat turn le liya hain aur ab hume nahi pata ki hum kaha hain..
All- kya??
Hm- haa.. par ab kar bhi kya sakte hain.. seedha chalte hain .. kahi n kahi toh ye rasta pahuchega na..
Ss- ms hum ghoom gaye toh?
Cc- sj.. hum Lucknow mein hi hain.. yaha kaisi ghoom sakte hain..
Am- ye google maps bhi nahi chal rahe kyunki saare network tower bhi shayad band hain filhal..
As- hj aap chalte rahiye.. aage shayad koi mil jaaye..
Hm- ji..

They drove for about half an hour on the same path but found no one .. but just when they were about to loose hope.. they saw a house with lights on..

Hm- vo dekhiye saamne.. uss ghar mein toh lights dikh rahe hain..
As- iska matlab bijli aa gayi hain..
Am- agar bijli aa gayi hoti toh street lights bhi on hote na.. par aisa toh kuch nahi hua..
Hm- raat ke 2 baj gaye hain.. hume lagta hain ki uss ghar mein jaakar puchna chahiye ki hum filhal hain kaha..
As- ji .. hum puchkar aate hain..
Am- jiju hum bhi chalte hain aapke saath..
As- chaliye..

As and Am go towards the house and enter inside .. meanwhile others waited in the car for about 15 mins after which Hm said..

Hm- ye log ab tak aaye kyu nahi.. jarur kuch gadbad hain...
Ss- ms mujhe toh dar lag raha hain.. vaha koi chudail hui toh!
Cc- Sj please aap hume mat daraiye..
Hm- aisa kuch nahi hain.. chaliye sab andar jaakar dekhte hain..
Ss- ms hum?!
Hm- toh kya aapko yaha akele baithna hain?
Ss- nahi..
Hm- toh chaliye humaare saath..

Hm,cc and ss go inside the house..
It was dimly lit, enough for them to see each other and the furniture around them.. it wasn't well furnished which showed that not many people lived in that house..
suddenly and hand came out of nowhere and pulled Hm inside a room..
Ss and cc screamed out of fright and tried running out of the house but it was too late.. they both were pulled into a room too and the room was locked from outside thereafter..

It was an empty room with no furniture whatsoever.. All five of them were stuck in that room.. there was no light in the room so they couldn't even see each other ..

Hm- hello? Koi hain?!
As- hj?
Am- didi?
Hm- aap dono bhi yaha hain?
Ss- main bhi hu!
Cc- sj sj hum bhi hain!
Hm- matlab hum sab hain is kamre mein.. par ab hum kya karen? Kuch dikhai nahi de raha..
( she said colliding with someone)
Hm- kaun humse takraya?
As- hj hum hain..
Hm- anu ab kya karen? Phone bhi sabne gaadi mein chod diya..
As- subah hone ka intezar karna chahiye.. aap sab jaha bhi hain vahi baith jaiye filhal.. dekhte hain agar koi kamre mein aaya toh hi hum yaha se nikal paayenge..
Am- lekin jiju agar hum band kamre mein jyada der rahe toh saans lene mein problem bhi ho sakti hain.. vaise yaha kisi ko Asthama ya lung problem toh nahi hain na?( the doctor in Am awoke)
As- ji nahi.. sabki annual health report perfect aayi thi iss varsh
Am- toh koi problem nahi honi chahiye..
Ss- ms hum nikal toh jaayenge na yaha se?
Hm- Haa santu.. tum daro mat.. hum sab saath mein hain..
Cc- hum bhi hain na yaha aapke baaju mein!
As- agar subah tak hum nahi nikal paaye toh hume purn vishwas hain humaare vibhag par.. khaskar behena toh hume dhoondh hi lengi ..
Hm- bilkul sahi kaha aapne.. kal jab thaane mein koi nahi milega toh Ks jarur hume dhoondhte hue yaha pahunch jaayengi..
Am- vaise hume neend aa rahi hain.. hum so jaaye kya?
Hm- ji ji ..

Hm and As slept in each other's arms.. Hm kept her head on his shoulder while he kept his head on hers.. they felt warm and secure with each other..
On the other hand Ss and cc were awkward .. they slept next to each other but didn't touch each other.. later on once they were asleep santus head rested on Cc'S shoulder and they too got into Anuseenas position unknowingly....
Am was next to Hm and he slept with his head on her lap( like a child sleeps on his mother... Hm was his elder sister and peoples say elder sisters are like second mother's so..)

....
Morning:
They woke up in the sleeping positions..
As woke up first and was delighted to see Hm by his side.. he gently woke her up and she saw Am peacefully sleeping on her lap.. she remembered that the used to sleep this way back when they were kids and got a bit emotional.. she stroked Ams hair gently and woke him up..
they then saw Ss and cc sleeping in that position and smiled .. they then woke cc up first to avoid awkwardness and then Ss also woke up..

They were all still in that empty room with a small window 7 feet above the ground .. light from the window was enough for them to see around in the room.. the door was still locked from outside..

Am-ye toh ab bhi band hain .. ab kya karenge?
Ss- Tod dete hain na darwaza.. fir main yaha ke landlord ko apne carpenter ka number de dungi darwaaza vapas lagane ke liye..
Cc- uff ye masoomiyat! Subah subah itna masoomiyat aap laati kaha se hain Sj?
Hm- knock karke aur chilla kar dekhte hain.. agar fir bhi koi nahi khola toh tod denge darwaaza .. kyu sir?
As- sir?
Hm- dekha jaaye toh hume filhal duty par hona chahiye na sir( she said teasingly)
As- ji ji.. sab samajhte hain hum.. aur Haa dwar tod denge ..
Am- acha ab pehele knock karke aur chilla kar dekh lete hain..
Cc- hum karte hain..

..............
Precap:
Ks- amma ye toh ms ki gaadi hain .. matlab ye log aas paas hi hain..
Billu- km vo ghar dekhiye!
...
Hm- ghar pe toh koi nahi hain.. toh hume kal band kisne kiya tha?!
As- kuch toh hain hj jo hume dikh nahi raha hain.. jaanch karni padegi iss ghar ki..
