Chapter 19 - The unknown person

Chapter Nineteen:

In Sid and Vividha's Room:

Vividha sat on the bed, lost in thought. Sid noticed her distraction and approached her.

Sid: "Vividha, what's wrong? Where are you lost?"

Vividha: "No, nothing Siddharth.
I was just thinking about bhabhi."

Sid: (confused) "Prachi?
What are you thinking about her?"

Vividha: "Siddharth, bhabhi is so sweet no! I just love her so much!"
Sid: (smiling) "Yeah really she is the best Vividha!"

Vividha: (smiling) "Anyways, let's sleep now."
Sid: "Are you sure?"
Vividha: "Yes."
Sid: "Okay, fine."
They both smiled and then drifted off to sleep, hugging each other tightly.

In Pranbir's Room:

Ranbir and Prachi were sleeping peacefully, clinging to each other.
Prachi, with her head resting on Ranbir's chest, felt her phone buzz.
The sudden noise disturbed her sleep.
As she picked up her phone, she saw that it was a call from Commissioner Ma'am.

Ranbir: (stirring awake) "Who is it, Prachi?"
Prachi: "Commissioner Ma'am."

Ranbir: "Then take it."
Prachi: "Yeah." She answered, "Hello, ma'am?"

Commissioner Ma'am: "Hello, Prachi. I'm so sorry to disturb you at this late hour."
Prachi: "No, it's okay, ma'am. Why did you call me? Is there a problem?"

Commissioner Ma'am: "Actually, we have information that your enemy is at a warehouse in XYZ place.
If you go there, you can catch him."

Prachi: (anger brewing, a smirk forming) "Thank you so much, ma'am. I'll handle the rest."
Commissioner Ma'am: "But there's another problem."

Prachi: "What problem?"
Commissioner Ma'am: "You were looking for a locket, right?"

Prachi: "Yes, ma'am. That locket holds evidence against that person."
Commissioner Ma'am: "Yes, the locket was worn by a person who was the right hand of your enemy.
He is in the hospital now."

Prachi: "I'll go search for it. I'm sure the locket might still be with him."
Commissioner Ma'am: "But, dear, it's not safe to go out at this hour."

Prachi: "No, it's okay. My parents' lives are more important to me."
Commissioner Ma'am: "Alright, but please take care of yourself."

Prachi: "Sure, ma'am." They hung up, and Prachi turned to Ranbir.
Ranbir: "What happened, Prachi?"

She quickly filled him in on the call, and he looked shocked and concerned.

Ranbir: "Prachi, why did you agree to go now? You're pregnant; it's not safe to go out at this hour!"
Prachi: "Ranbir, I'll be fine. Don't worry; I'll come back soon."

Ranbir: "I'll come with you."
Prachi: "No, it's not safe for you."

Ranbir: "I don't care about my safety; you're more important to me."
Prachi: "Ranbir, I'll be careful. If anything happens, I'll call you."

Ranbir: (still worried) "Promise?"
Prachi: (with confidence) "Yes, Ranbir." She went to the washroom to change and came out five minutes later.

Prachi: "Okay, Ranbir. I'll see you soon."
Ranbir: "Call me if anything goes wrong; don't strain yourself, and remember you're carrying our baby."

Prachi: (smiling) "I'll take care of myself."
Ranbir: "Okay, fine."
He kissed her forehead, and she left, leaving him incredibly worried.

On the Way:
As Prachi walked out, she bumped into Vividha.

Vividha: "Bhabhi, where are you going at this hour?"
Prachi: "I have some important work, but I'll be back in an hour."

Vividha: "But how can you go alone? It's not safe! Should I come with you?"
Prachi: "No, it's fine. I can manage."

Vividha: "No bhabhi, I'm coming with you. Just give me five minutes!" Without waiting for a response, she rushed off to get ready.

After Five Minutes:
Vividha joined Prachi downstairs after informing Sid about her decision.

Vividha: "Chal bhabhi, let's go!"
Prachi: "Vividha, it's really not safe for you. You shouldn't come."

Vividha: "I don't care, bhabhi. Your safety is my priority!"
Prachi: "Vividha, it could put your life in danger."

Vividha: "Bhabhi, I'm willing to risk my life for you." Her words brought tears to Prachi's eyes, and Vividha noticed it.

Vividha: "Bhabhi, why are you crying?"
Prachi: (wiping her tears) "It's nothing. Let's just go."

Vividha: (smiling) "Okay!" They both left together, Vividha by Prachi's side, determined to keep her safe.

On the Road:
As they drove towards the hospital, Vividha glanced at Prachi, concerned. "Are you sure you're okay with this, bhabhi?"
Prachi returned the glance, reassuring her with a nod. "Yes, I'm okay. I'll handle it."

Vividha: "Just remember, I'll always be with you, no matter what."
Prachi felt a warmth spread through her heart as she realized how lucky she was to have someone like Vividha, who stood by her side.

In the hospital:
When they arrived, the atmosphere felt eerily quiet. They stepped out of the car, and Prachi's determination heightened.
She led the way, while Vividha stayed close.

Prachi: "We need to find his room. It might take some time."
Vividha: "I'm here for you, bhabhi. Let's stick together."

Prachi: "Let's keep moving."
Finally, they reached the spot near where they believed that person is there.
Prachi spotted the room and knelt beside it, desperately searching for clues.

A Twisted Turn:
Just as she began to get in, a shadow loomed over them.

Vividha: (grabbing Prachi's arm) "Bhabhi! We need to go!"
Prachi's heart raced, but she stood her ground. "But, we are looking for something important."

Vividha: (fear in her voice) "We should leave, bhabhi. It's not worth it!"
But Prachi, fueled by determination to find the locket and protect her family, didn't back down.

Back at the House:
Meanwhile, back at home, Ranbir was pacing, worried. He grabbed his phone and called Prachi.

Ranbir: "Pick up, please!"

As he heard the phone ring without an answer, panic washed over him.

Cliffhanger Ending:

What would happen next?
Would Prachi find the locket?
