As soon as Rashi returned to her apartment from the park she began investigating Arohi. First she tried to search for Dr. Arohi Singhania/Ahluwalia in London but she was disappointed when she found none.
She was trying to replay the moment when she saw Arohi. She looked as if she was being watched and within few seconds she disappeared. Is someone threatening her?
As Rashi thought about it again and again she couldn't put a finger to what she was missing. As the time passed she thought of calling Arjun but the next moment she dropped the idea because if she was wrong and that was not Arohi then her brother might be utterly disappointed.
The only hope left at this moment was the guy on whose request she came to London. She took out her phone and dialed his number
"Hello" someone picked from the other side.
"Hello, I need your help" said Rashi now clearly worried.
After an hour Rashi was waiting for someone in coffee shop
"Hi Rashi" she heard a cheerful voice greeting her
"Hello Anuj" said Rashi.
When Rashi told Anuj to wait for her he never questioned her for how long that certainly proves how much he loves her. Rashi tried to reason him out many times but he was adamant just like Rashi.
She was really grateful of him because she too loved him but nothing without bhabhi was fixed in her mind.
"What help do you need" Anuj asked seriously
"Let's order something first" Rashi said trying to ease some of his anxiety. Rashi knew he might be anxious because she has never called him this urgently before.
After they ordered their coffee Rashi began explaining to Anuj what has happened. After listening to what Rashi said Anuj asked thoughtfully.
"Are you sure it was Dr. Arohi?"
"If my eyesight is good I am almost 100% sure." said Rashi
A glimmer of hope could be seen in Anuj's eyes. Rashi knew this too if they find Arohi bhabhi things will also be easy between them. So the one person who will find Arohi with same dedication as her family was Anuj.
"Even if you were 1% sure I would have given a try" Anuj said winking at Rashi to which Rashi blushed.
"So how can we begin our search?" asked Anuj
"I have tried to search her on internet with her name but I got none. I think she is staying here with different name. Secondly I thought someone was watching her so she might be threatened by someone.
According to her character she is not the type to get threatened by anyone but what I last heard that she was infected by some virus where she was working so that might have weakened her." Rashi said trying to connect the dots.
"I think we should call Dr. Arjun too." Anuj said thinking
"I thought about it but what if I am wrong?" Rashi asked skeptically.
"Even if you have doubts that hope can be a thread for Dr. Arjun to hang on to life." Anuj said looking deeply at Rashi.
Rashi knew exactly what he meant. Arjun was hanging with almost no hope just like how few moments ago Anuj was but now that he has got a hope he wishes to share it with Arjun so that he too can feel alive. After all Arohi was Arjun's wife.
"Fine I will call bhai telling him to come over as I wish to see him. He will not say no because he never have. Once he come over we will tell him what it is. Meantime let's just see what else we could find." said Rashi now determined.
Anuj smiled and said "I just like the ring of your voice when you are determined on something."
"My bhabhi thought me how to be resolute on something no matter what the obstacles are and I am sure she is also trying to find a way through whatever thing is holding her back." as Rashi said this she found herself more positive.
Rashi looked at the time and called Arjun assuming he is off work now. She had already inquired about his shift with her mother.
"Hello Rashi" Arjun was surprised to see Rashi calling him. When she has left till date she has never called him once.
"Bhai. I miss you." Rashi said genuinely
"What happened, Rashi? Are you crying?" Arjun asked worried.
Rashi has never left home this was her first time. He agrees that as a brother he has completely ignored Rashi and he was ashamed of it but if he could mend this he will do it.
Arohi would have never ignored her responsibilities in whatever situation she might have been.
"Bhai can you come over here for few days?" asked Rashi hesitatingly
After hearing Rashi Arjun sighed and said "Why don't you come instead?"
"I cannot bhai. I have work load over here, only if you could come. Just for few days may be five-six days." Rashi was almost pleading
Arjun's heart melted his sister was demanding before but this time he could hear her plea.
"Okay I'll come. Let me talk at home to adjust my leave and I'll come as soon as possible."
Rashi became so elated that she started jumping up and down.
"I love you bhai" she said happily.
Arjun shook his head smiling, Arjun rarely smiled these days. He missed his sister.
"I love you too Rash. Get a day of at least so that we can chill okay" Arjun sounded like before after a long time and Rashi was very happy with this change.
"Bye bhai, I am waiting". Rashi bid goodbye
"Bye Rash" said Arjun and hung up the phone.
Just by a little hope of Arohi returning Rashi could see the positive changes around her. She could see those vibes has reached her brother too.
"BHABHI WE WILL FIND YOU" said Rashi firmly
As Arjun kept the phone he too felt as if by going to London something good is going to happen. How he wishes to hear some news about Arohi.
"Rashi misses you Arohi I can feel her. Come back, I HATED YOU FOR TOO LONG BUT I JUST CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU" Arjun said to himself with a tear on his cheek.
