FALLING IN LOVE

part-76(did u see her)

Kk got a notification. It was from Teja.

He immediately opened it, but it wasn't a message from her. It was a notification showing that her mobile phone was active again.

Kk instantly called her number, but it was switched off.

Without wasting a second, he informed the police and asked them to trace the last active location.

Soon, Kk got the location and rushed there.

The location led him to a cyber café.

He showed Teja's photo to the owner.

Kk: Bhai, did you see her?

Shop Owner: Yes, sir. She was here some time ago to take a printout of her NEET hall ticket.

Kk: Okay... okay... but do you know where she went after that?

Shop Owner: No, sir. I don't know.

Kk nodded silently and walked out.

For hours he searched every nearby street, every corner, every possible place, but he couldn't find her.

Finally, exhausted and heartbroken, he returned home.

Without talking to anyone, he went straight to his room.

Holding Teja's photo tightly, he whispered,

Kk: Why, Teja... why did you leave? Please come back. Scold me, hate me, punish me, but just come back. I'm sorry, Teja... I'm so sorry...

Tears rolled down his cheeks as he broke down completely.

Hearing his voice, Km and Tm rushed to his room.

The moment Kk saw them, he stood up and walked towards them.

Kk: I'm sorry, Mom. I couldn't protect your daughter. I failed as a husband. She left because of me. I'm sorry...

As he said those words, he fell to his knees.

Both the mothers immediately held his shoulders.

Tm: No, Karan... don't say that. You have to stay strong. I know my son. You didn't do this intentionally. And you promised me that you would bring her back. So why are you giving up? Get up and continue searching for her.

Kk wiped his tears.

Kk: Yes, Mom.

Eleven days had already passed, and Kk was still searching for Teja.

But now only one option remained.

He knew Teja would never miss her NEET examination.

So he decided that the next morning he would go to her exam center and search for her there.

With that hope in his heart, he finally lay down to sleep, holding Teja's photograph close to his chest.

On Teja's side...

Teja had pushed every distracting thought away and immersed herself completely in her studies.

Day and night had blended together.

She didn't notice time passing.

She studied with all her focus, giving her hundred percent.

After finishing her revision, she stood near the window of her room, looking up at the sky.

Teja: Bhai... it's been eleven days since I left him.

I know he probably doesn't even know how much I miss him.

And by the time he finds out, I may already be gone from India.

I don't want to become a burden on anyone, Bhai.

I love him so much.

I know Mom, Dad, Maa and Papa will hate me for what I've done.

But once I become something in life, I will explain everything to them.

And Bhai... please forgive me too.

I know you're angry because I ran away.

I'm sorry...

A tear slipped down her cheek.

After a few moments, she quietly lay down on her bed and fell asleep.

Next morning...
