Where Are You bhaiya???

Chapter 13

"What's the deal with this Akhilesh guy?" Arav asked, leaning against the doorframe of Aryan's room. The faint glow of the computer screen cast a blueish hue across Aryan's face, who was busy typing away at his keyboard.

"I'm not sure," Aryan replied, not looking up from the screen, "but I think we should know more about him."

"Akhilesh is my mama," Sanjana said from the hallway.

"What?," Arav shrugged. "Yes, he is the sweetest mama ever. My Nana adopted him. And most of the people in my Mom's family didn't like him. But Akhilesh mama loved me and Sanjay bhaiya a lot. I also love him a lot, he has a kind heart", continued Sanjana.

Arav and Aryan smiled and nodded in agreement, Aryan's eyes still glued to the screen. "You guys should see this," he said, turning the laptop around to reveal a string of code.

Sanjana leaned over to get a better look. "What's that?" she asked, squinting.

"It's a way to track someone's digital footprint," Aryan explained. "I'm going to use it to find out everything about Akhilesh Singh."

Arav and Sanjana exchanged a skeptical glance. "You think you can just hack into his life?" Sanjana questioned.

"It's not hacking," Aryan said defensively. "It's more like... uncovering information that's already out there. Besides, I'm pretty good at this stuff."

Arav raised an eyebrow. "Okay, Sherlock. Just don't get us in trouble."

Aryan grinned. "Don't worry. I'll be careful."

The trio gathered around the laptop as Aryan began his search. Hours passed as they sifted through articles, profiles, and images, piecing together the puzzle of Akhilesh's life. The cluttered room grew quieter as the night deepened, the only sound was the rhythmic clicking of the keyboard and the occasional sigh of frustration or gasp of discovery.

Finally, Aryan sat back in his chair, a look of disbelief etched on his face. "Guys," he said, his voice low and urgent. "You need to see this."

Sanjana and Arav crowded around, their eyes widening as they took in the information displayed on the screen. A photo of a young man with a familiar face stared back at them.

"That's..." Arav began, his voice trailing off.

"That's Niranjan," Sanjana murmured, her hand flying to her mouth. "Arav bhaiya's best friend."

Aryan nodded solemnly. "He's Akhilesh's adopted son, and he changed his name from Sanjay to Niranjan years ago."

The room was silent for a moment, the revelation hanging in the air like a bomb waiting to explode. Then, Aryan spoke again, breaking the tension. "I think we've just stumbled upon something big."

Arav looked shell-shocked. "Niranjan? Adopted by Akhilesh? That can't be right."

"It is," Aryan said, pointing at the birth certificate he'd managed to pull up. "Look at the date, the name change, and the adoption papers. It's all here."

Sanjana studied the documents, her eyes darting back and forth. "But why would he do that?" she wondered aloud. "Why change his name and hide his past?"

Arav's face was a mix of anger and confusion. "Niranjan was always the one to keep secrets," he murmured. "But this... this is too much."

Sanjana placed a comforting hand on Arav's shoulder. "Sanjay bhaiya has a tattoo of a Peacock feather on his chest. Mom and Dad hated having tattoos that's why he hid it from them. And he only told me about it. We need to talk to him," she said firmly. "Find out why he did this."

Arav nodded, his eyes dark with unspoken thoughts. "We can't just jump to conclusions," he said, his voice strained. "Niranjan might have his reasons."

"But what if those reasons have something to do with Akhilesh's shady dealings?" Sanjana suggested, her voice trembling. "What if he's in danger?"

"I told you already. Akhilesh Mamu has a good heart. He won't do wrong things. He loves me and Sanjay a lot." said Sanjana. "Anyways let's call Niranjan bhaiya I mean Sanjay bhaiya here," said Aryan. Arav nodded and said, "Yeah and we can't let him know that we know that he is Sanjay." Aryan and Sanjana agreed and Arav called Niranjan.

Soon Niranjan picked up the call and said, "Hello bro! What's up? Need any help to find Sanjay?" "yes, can you come to my apartment as soon as possible? It's an emergency," replied Arav. Niranjan agreed and hung up the call and hurried to Arav's apartment.

An hour later, Niranjan reached Arav's apartment and said, "What happened, Arav?" Aryan and Arav looked at Niranjan in silence. Sanjana saw Niranjan and she ran to him and stood in front of him. "Hi Sanjana, how are you?" asked Niranjan. Sanjana didn't reply. Seeing her, Arav, and Aryan's silence, Niranjan asked, "What happened? Why are you all silent?"

"We found Sanjay, Niranjan bhaiya!" said Aryan. "Wow really? So where is he? And what does he do? Is he safe?" asked Niranjan. No one replied and suddenly, Sanjana unbuttoned the chest part of Niranjan's shirt. What they saw, shocked them. Just like Sanjana told them, Sanjay has a tattoo of a peacock feather on his chest. Niranjan was shocked and confused by what was happening around him. Before he could say anything, Arav stood in front of him and said, "Hello Sanjay! It's really, so nice to meet you!"
