5: The Plan

Tanya
I woke up and looked around to see Shubman and Abhishek still sleeping I slowly got up and saw Ishan was also sleeping
I got out of the bed rubbing my eyes and walked towards the restroom
I tied my hair in a bun and brushed my teeth
I looked at the time it was 12 pm
Wow .
I didn't know if I should wake them up or not
Should I leave ??
I quickly took a tissue and a pen and started writing
I kept the tissue on the table and took my bag and left the house
I took an auto as Ishan's house was quite far from where I lived
I paid the uncle and started walking towards my hostel
On my way I was texting Tanuj that I had reached home and I didn't realise that a guy riding on a bicycle was coming right at me
When I looked up he bumped into me and his cycle crushed my feet and I fell backwards
"Ouch" I screamed.
"I'm sorry didi I didn't see you" the little guy said
I got up slowly
" It's okay beta drive safe"I said limping towards my building
I opened the door to my house and got on the bed
my little finger was swollen so I took an ice pack and started rubbing it on the toes
After five minutes I slowly brought my laptop close to me and laid on bed
Quickly turning on YouTube I started watching a few Cricket interviews
I tried to get up after a while but I wasn't able to walk properly.
I sat back down and decided to take a nap as I didn't have anything else to do

ABHISHEK POV
It was 4pm right now and we were practicing for our next match
I hadn't heard from Tanya in the 
Last few hours
I kept practicing for another hour and took a break after
Shubman,Ishan and I were together most of the time
"Did Tanya text you later?" Shubman asked me
"Nope"I replied
" She is nice "Ishan said
" Ha ha Ishan sab samjh raha hai"I teased him
" Teko pasand hai kya?"Shub asked him
" Ha achi hai but pasand wagera nhi abhi toh mila hu " Ishan replied
We walked towards the cafeteria and decided to sit and chat for awhile
"Call krte hai usko" I said taking out my phone
I called her two times but she didn't pick up
"Busy hogi" I said and they agreed
Tanya
I looked at my phone screen
It was blank my Instagram was not working along with my whatsapp snapchat
I turned off the phone ten minutes ago and it isn't turning on again
I sighed and kept the phone aside
I tried to connect my laptop to the instagram account I had but it kept showing that the account is not there
Must be a glitch or something
I thought before shutting my laptop
It was 8pm right now and o jad nothing to do
I was almost done with my project I just had to write it on paper and represent it nicely
I decided to bring some empty papers and files from the stationary shop below.
I got up taking my keys and slowly walked downstairs towards the stationary shop
I bought a bunch of white plain papers and folders along with black and blue pens
I paid him and started walking towards the hostel
I looked out for that kid not wanting to hurt myself again
I reached home and I took my laptop on the bed and tried connecting it to my phone and succeeded
Instagram was still not working but other apps were
I opened my presentation and started writing down everything.
After a few hours I was almost done with the writing work
I checked the time and it was ten pm
I decided to get up and have some dinner but since I was hurt I decided to order something rather than going to the school canteen as it was quite far from my building
I ordered some dal makhni and rice so that I can eat it for breakfast tomorrow too.
The order arrived after a few minutes and I immediately started digging in
After eating I went back to sleep even though I couldn't get any as I had slept a lot in the afternoon
The next day
Shubman
I was working out when I remembered how fun the other night was with Tanya
I wondered why she hasn't texted me back
I didn't have any answers for that question so I brushed it away
After keeping the dumbbells down
I walked over to the water tank to have some water
I saw Abhishek doing squats and decided to ask whether she has texted him or not
For some reason that thought made me feel scared
"Tanya ,did she get back to you after that night?"I asked him and he stopped
" Nope but I'm thinking it must be because she is a college girl she must be busy "he said the same thing he had said yesterday
It had been one day since we heard from her
" I know this sounds crazy but no one would kidnap her right" I said and Abhishek chuckled
Yes I'm going crazy .
I thought
I left the gym at 4 pm and drove past her hostel
I knew she lived in C block I just had to know her house number inorder to make sure everything was okay.
I texted Ishan asking him to meet me in the cafe
I drove away and started thinking of a plan to make sure she was okay
Because my anxiety was slowly eating me out
I arrived at the cafe and saw Ishan sitting
I took a seat opposite to him
"Tanya hasn't texted anyone of us. And I m worried so I would like to meet her uske hostel me but I don't know her room number"I said and Ishan looked at me
" Want to break in??matlab nothing too scary just a little prank" he said
And I agreed
Later in the evening we took a round inside the hostel and found out her room number
After that we took some ropes and gear to climb up to her room
It was 11pm right now and everything was quite
I was with Ishan waiting for him to par the gate so that I could go next
"Done" he said and I jumped climbing on the gate and crossing it easily
"Let's go " I said
We immediately walked towards her building and I saw a huge pipe that reached her window
We started climbing it easily
The wide pipe  provided us with grip and we soon reached her window which was open.
The room was dark only the light from the laptop was visible telling that she was awake
I jumped inside her window without making any noise and Ishan followed
Tanya
I was busy rubbing ice pack on my toe when I heard whispers
I thought it was my imagination but it wasn't I heard footsteps and I decided to shut my laptop depriving them of light
I felt movement around my bed so I jumped on the person taking their hands behind their back and making them surrender
Suddenly the light turned on and I looked at the person beneath me
It was Ishan
And Shubman turned on the light
"What are you guys doing here?x
I asked them
" We were worried so I thought why not check up on you"shub said
" Like thief's what if I had attacked you " I said
"Actually you did " Ishan said from under me
I got up and he sat on the bed
Suddenly we heard another voice and I looked at them
"Who is it now?i asked
" Actually I texted Abhishek so it's him "Shubman said scratching his neck
Abhishek soon entered the room and looked at us
"My Instagram isn't working that is why I was unable to contact you "I said
" Oh he thought you were kidnapped" Abhishek said pointing at Shubman and I laughed
"Really " I said
"I mean it is possible right "he said
" Anyways give us your number so that we can contact you rather than breaking in"he said
I gave them my number
" Now what??"I asked
" Now we'll go back "Shubman said
"Gate bandh hoga and watchman uncle ne pakad liya toh" I said
"Stay here char log fit hone jtna room hai I'll go and bring mattress" I said getting up limping towards the cupboard
" What happened to you?" Ishan asked
"This kid fell on me with his bicycle more like bumped into me galti se"I said
" Bataya q nhi"Abhay asked
Shubman hit is head and said
" Instagram bandh tha na uska"
" Oh ha hehe"
Ishan approached me taking the mattress away and spreading it on the floor
"You both take the bed me and I'll sleep idhr" I said hoping on the mattress
Soon Ishan joined me and they both took the bed
I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep
"Guys " I called out
And they hmmmed
"Thank you for worrying about me" I said
"Welcome " Abhishek said
"Also for climbing up the pipe"I said chuckling
" You owe us "Shubman said and we chuckled slowly falling asleep
