Being a resident of Chandigarh for her whole life, this was the first time for Avni to came out of her comfort zone. Mumbai.... City of dreams... As they call it.... Felt so different. It looked like she was in some different world. She had only watched it in movies and T. V. Shows but in reality it was completely different experience. Life here looked like really fast. The language, the culture , everything was very new to her.  Although she told her mom that she would manage alone but truth was she was never away from her family. This was the first time when she was all alone and to be honest, she was just a twenty years old simple girl who was in a completely stranger place. She didn't know anybody here except Ayush. She had his address which he gave her when he first came here. She was looking for a cab when her  stomach growled.

I think I should eat something first..... She thought and picked all her luggage and started searching for some restaurant. She found one vada pao stall near the station so she decided to eat there. She had eaten this before in Chandigarh too but that tasted nothing like this. This was too yumm.... Finally after taking care of her hunger she called her mother and told her that she had reached safely and was now going to Ayush's address. After talking to her she took a cab and left .

During her ride she was looking at the skyscraper buildings. She was amazed to see the all that. She was getting excited that finally she would be able to meet Ayush. It's been so long since they met personally. When he was in Chandigarh, they would meet almost everyday. She was getting astonished to imagine his reaction when he would see her there.

Soon she reached the address. After paying the fare she took out the luggage and went towards the gate.

It was an old building which was not in a good condition. Some children were playing in the ground in front of it. She was looking around to ask someone about the address when she saw a man walking inside the building.

"Excuse me sir......" She asked and he looked back at her.

"Sorry to disturb you... But I am looking for Ayush Khurana's house. This is his address...." She said and showed him a paper.

"Ayush Khurana... You mean that film actor....." He asked while looking at the paper.

A smile appeared on her face to know that finally she met someone who knew Ayush.

"Yes... Yes... Ayush Khurana.. The actor... Do you know where is he?... I mean... His flat...." She asked with happiness.

"He doesn't live here anymore..... He shifted from here three months ago...." He said and gave back that paper to her.

"What?...... Avni was shocked..." She couldn't believe what she heard. Ayush shifted his house and he didn't even informed her about this.... Why? She was stunned.

"Do.... Do..... You know where he went?" She asked while hoping that may be he knew his new address.

"Sorry..... But I don't know about this. Actually no one knows about him. Till he lived here he merely interacted to anyone here. So we don't know much about him.." He told her.

"Ok... Thank you...." She could just said and  walked away from there.

A strange fear started to capture her heart listening all this. Her mind went blank. She was not able to think anything. She didn't realized when tears started streaming from her eyes.

" Oh god what will I do now?.. " She thought and looked around. She took her luggage and went towards the ground where children were playing. She sat down on a bench while thinking about Ayush.

Where did he got? Why he didn't tell us? Is he really avoiding us? Is he doing all this intentionally? But why? What is the need to do this?Why he suddenly changed? What must be happened to him? Her heart was sinking down in fear....when she got the call of her mother.
