After 3 years of her beloved Rahul Jaykar's tragic 'suicide' , Aarohi was believed to have moved on from the trauma by the people. Or can I say she pretended to have moved on and living happily? She focused on her career, worked hard , smiled all t...
"Yes! I should check online. Maybe there's some article about him and Vivek must be hiding it from me.
I opened google and typed Rahul's name but there was no new article about him. Only those related to his death and how some 'fans' had cried for the loss of an angel and blaming his love that's me for his death. Maybe they're the same people who trolled him when he was alive.

Social media is sure a toxic place now!
Anyways..I shouldn't get distracted by these comments and do everything in my might to find him.
For the next few days I regularly checked up online for any new article. Because of my hope that there may be a slight chance that he had caught someone's eyes. But universe wasn't helping me. When it became impossible day by day for me to just sit and look up online for any news, I decided to do something else. I decided to disguise myself and look around the whole city for him. I really hope that would work. But what if I get caught? No no I shouldn't think about it. What's more important is finding him! I just have to avoid cameras and wander around looking for him.
Yeah its easy!
From the next day onwards, I started planning out my mission. I made a list of nearby places then far away ones. I planned to look through the nearby places first, with a hope that he must be hiding somewhere near me. I called Sehgal uncle and cancelled all my appointments by taking a sick leave.
"Are you sure its nothing serious? Should we go to hospital? I Mean you just got discharged from hospital few days ago and you're not feeling well. I'm really concerned!" asked uncle on phone call with genuine concern in his voice.
"Yes my dear uncle. Its nothing serious. Its just a headache and weakness, nothing else. I'll just get a break for few days and take medicines regularly and I'll be alright. Also you don't need to visit me here. Y'all have got so much work to do and I keep getting in your way by my stupidities. "
"We don't get disturbed at all. I'm glad I can be there for you in your bad times"
A smile left my lips listening to his words. We hung up the call and I started adding more things to the list. Just then, my doorbell rang. I opened the door and found Vivek standing there soaked in the rain. I invited him inside and handed him a towel.
"What is up with you? Why are you wet? " I looked at him worriedly as he looked terrible.
"Leave all that. Why are you sick? Why didn't you tell me? Let's just go to hospital. You can't be here alone! I can't leave you all by yourself! Get ready I'm waiting downstairs" he spoke blabbered endlessly and got up from the couch. I held his arms and motioned him to sit.
"Bu...."
"Shh. Just sit down. Calm down. Do I look that sick? No right. I'm fine Vivek. Its just a small headache. We can't go to hospital for such a small inconvenience. "
"We can. Who knows why this headache is there. Hospitals are invented to find out the cause for your sickness. If we were to just sit at home waiting for sickness to go away..why would hospitals would ever have built? "
"Oh come on..you and your theories! Look Vivek..I really just want to rest at home away from all the crowd and cameras. People want to see us everyday, I understand its their love but we're also humans. We also need rest. Also, lately I've been reading these online comments and they're really awful. I really can't imagine people can write such things."
"Then why are you reading them. You can't change anyone and everyone. Society consists of all kind of good and bad people. Just these people's influence is higher as they can't stop showing off. But the higher they fly the faster they fall. Don't worry about those comments. I'll look into them and publish an official notice warning them to stop ok?" he comforted me with his calming words. Vivek's words have always been calming me down. He just has this positive aura around him. Everyone deserves a best friend like him.
"Anyways, I really think this headache is just due to fatigue. I'll just rest for few days, stay at home, watch cartoons, eat my favourite food without having to worry about my diet..and I'll automatically feel great." I assured him with my smooth lie.
"Ok I'm somewhat convinced but I'm still worried. Are you sure you want to be alone?"
"Yes my dear friend..that's what I want... for my research.." I wispered under my breath.
"I can't hear you. Can you speak louder?" Vivek looked at me confused.
"Ahh nothing..just dry yourself and I'll go make tea for you." I excused myself.
As soon as vivek left..I started packing some important stuff for tomorrow's mission. I checklisted some hotels and other places where he could've been staying. Also, i decided to go to malls, tourist places, guest house , to go to and look for him. I mentally felt bad for lying to sehgal uncle and Vivek but I was determined to find Rahul and that had become my priority. I was ready to face all the consequences I would suffer if they both found out about my lie. At this moment I couldn't care less about any other thing than finding him.
"Wherever you are, I'm coming for you!"
