"What do you mean by missing???" I roared as the worst scenarios flashed in my mind, and slowly terror crept into my heart.

"I don't know... We tried to call her so many times, but suddenly her phone got switched off. We can't even trace her. It's been three hours that we last talked with her. From then, there is no sign of her. Did she say anything before leaving???" Anand's voice was frantic, and my heart constricted again, remembering the last word she spoke before leaving me.

I'm sorry...

"No, but two hours back, she was with me, then left without saying anything," I murmured, swallowing hard and ignoring the discomfort. Dad and Mom were now listening to me keenly with frowns on their faces.

"How could you allow her like that, Atharvaa??? You should have at least asked where she was going???" He shouted, enraged, and grasping my state, Dad settled beside me, rubbing my arm, comforting me, but my mind went wild thinking about the accident... the accident which had planned to harm her... Which she narrowly escaped, fortunately... but now she is not safe... she is in danger. I should have stopped her from going... fuck... fuck.. fuck...

Gradually, I explained to him how I met with the accident while saving her, how she admitted me to the hospital, then how she left, but deliberately avoided informing him about the conversation that occurred between Mom and her as it's not the time to discuss that.

"Oh my god, he targeted her, but how he got to know??? First kids, and now her, what should I do now??? How to save them???" He mumbled loudly, not realizing he was speaking out aloud.

"What about kids???" I questioned, but it came as a shout, causing him to stop his rambling.

"Kids... what kids. No kids, I'm saying Khushi is a kid. She doesn't even know how to take care of herself." He sputtered nervously, trying to hide so hard.

"Anand, stop it. I know everything and fucking spill it whatever you're hiding." I snapped angrily, as I'm losing control.

"You know everything???" He exclaimed with a mixture of surprise and shock pass on in his voice, and I winced, rubbing my forehead.

"Hmm." I hummed, getting more irritated as Anand didn't stop his rambling.

"You mean you know everything, everything???" He exclaimed again, but this time I can hear somewhat relief in his sound.

"Anand." His name came out like a warning because if he doesn't stop these silly questions and start speaking, I will explode, definitely.

"Okay, okay... I'm sorry... three hours ago, Khushi messaged us, I mean Arjun and me, to move all the kids to her house quickly, also be with them and when I questioned back why. She replied, stating that they're not safe at that place anymore. Sensing that something was not right, I immediately called her, but she didn't answer any of it. Furthermore, when Karthik called and screamed at me, asking about the Khushi whereabouts while briefing about the conversation he had with her, I know she was in danger, and that bastard Mayur Raj is behind it. Then two hours back, her mobile went turned off. God, I shouldn't have allowed her to go out without any of us following her." He anxiously explained, but his last word pricked me hard, seeing she was in danger because of my stubbornness. If I hadn't demanded to come to the date, she would have been safe in her place.
