Sidharth woke up in the morning. He looked towards his left to find his wife when he realised he was now a married man. He was appalled having found the other side empty. He raced to the bathroom and gave a slight push, it was open and empty as well.

He ran outside the room and found his maid cleaning.

Sidharth: Ma'am ko dekha tumne?

Maid: Woh apne room mein hai Sir.

Sidharth: (facepalmed) Main meri biwi ki baat kar raha hoon. Sana ko dekha?

Maid nods no.

Sidharth: Nandu.. Nandu... Nandu.. (screams his lungs out)

Nandu: (comes running) Ji Sir.

Sidharth: Madam.. Mera matlab meri biwi ko dekha tumne?

Nandu: Nahi Sir.

Sidharth: Dekho pure Mansion mein kahi hai kya. Jaao.

Rekha and Reema who had came out of their room hearing Sidharth scream, look at each other. Reema rolls her eyes.

Reema: Lo inka lukka chuppi shuru ho gaya subah subah.

Rekha: Reema! (Firmly) Kya hua Sidharth?

Sidharth dialled her number but she didn't receive it.

Sidharth: Mom, Sana kahi nazar nahi aa rahi.

Rekha: Ismein pareshan hone wali kya baat hai? Bachchi thode hi na hai ki kho jaayegi? Kahi gayi hogi, aa jaayegi.

Sidharth: Mom, she is very precious and dear to me. Dil ke kareebi logon ko khote khote main haar gaya hoon. Sana ke liye chance nahi lena chahta.

Rekha: Adi ka jaane ka gham hum sabko hai Sidharth. But woh tumhari biwi hai toh tum usse nazarband nahi na rakh sakte? Thodi dher rukh jao.

Nandu: (returns) Sir, pura Mansion doondh liya, Mam kahi bhi nahi hai.

Sidharth: Meri car ki chaabi le aao. Jaldi.

Rekha: Sidharth? Apni halat dekhi hai? Freshen up ho jao, kapde change kar lo phir nikalna.

Sidharth: Bye mom. Nandu agar woh aa jaye toh mujhe phone pe inform karna.

He takes the car key from Nandu and rushes to his car. He sits in the car and drives to the hostel. He asks the hostel in-charge about her.

In-charge: Arey! Aap toh roz aa jaate ho Sana ko doondhne. Waise aaj ke baad aane ki zarurat nahi padegi kyuki woh apna hostel room khaali karke gayi yaha se.

Sidharth: What? Kaha gayi? Kuch ataa pata diya hai kya usne?

In-charge: Nahi Sir. Unhone apna pura account clear kar diya toh humne unka koi pata nahi pucha.

Sidharth: Unke shayad kisi roommate ya yaha koi friend ko pata ho ki kaha gayi hai woh?

In-charge: Sir, aap kahi koi CID se ho kya? Dikhte bhi bahut hatte katte ho, bilkul Inspector Daya ke tarah.

Sidharth: (virtually facepalms) Nahi, main koi CID se nahi hoon. Main unka pati hoon.

In-charge: Oh.. phir to aapse jyada kisi aur ko kya pata hoga? Agar phir bhi aapko unke baare mein nahi pata toh, filhaal hostel mein koi nahi hai, sab ya toh office ya college chali gayi hai. Aap shaamko aake check kar sakte ho.

Sidharth: Hmmm.. Thik hai.

Sidharth sits in his car thinking where could she go?

Kaha chali gayi yeh ab? Shayad college? Hmm.. Kya ladkiyaan hai yaar? Shaadi se pehle inka dil jeetne ke liye peeche bhaago, shaadi ke baad inko manaane ke liye peeche bhaago phir kal ko bachche honge toh unke peeche bhaago.. achcha khaasa aadmi kutta banke reh jata hai.. woh bhi, dhobhi ka. Na ghar ka na ghaat ka. Isiliye shayad pyaar ko kutti cheez kehte hai.

Sana was entering inside the college gate when someone pulled her by her arm to the side. She was shocked to see him. He was in hooded sweatshirt.
