Where Are You bhaiya???

Chapter 18

Aryan trudged towards his room, lost in thought. As he turned a corner, he spotted Sanjana through her open door. She curled around her room, holding a teddy bear Niranjan had gifted her.

Aryan's gaze stayed, fascinated by Sanjana's carefree dance. He smiled, feeling warmth in his heart.

"She's so happy," Aryan whispered to himself, peeking through the hallway window. "I feel so good by seeing her like this. She deserves this."

Minutes passed, but Aryan remained rooted, captivated by Sanjana's joy. Her laughter, her dance, everything, Aryan was admiring.

Just then, Neha and Nandni turned the corner, exploring the mansion.
"Aryan, what are you doing?" Neha asked, curiosity etched on her face.

Aryan turned around, his face flushing.

"I... uh... was just checking if the windows need repair," Aryan stammered.

Nandni raised an eyebrow.

"Window repair?" Neha repeated, skeptical.

Aryan hastily bid them farewell, beating a retreat.

Neha and Nandni exchanged amused glances. "Let's see what caught Aryan's attention," Neha whispered.

They peeked into Sanjana's room, finding her lost in the dance. "Oh! so this was the reason...?" Nandni started.

Neha nodded. "Niranjan's long-lost sister. She looks so happy."

Nandini smiled. "Reuniting with her brother must be a dream come true."
They quietly withdrew, letting Sanjana taste her moment.

As they walked away, Neha turned to Nandini. "Aryan's got a soft spot for her, hasn't he?" Nandini nodded. "Looks like love is in the air." Neha and Nandini giggle.

"So, are you still single?" asks Neha. Nandini, I nodded and said, "I don't want to get committed. I want to be single forever"

"You are crazy! Niranjan already told you, that he doesn't have feelings for you in that way."

"I didn't say I'm waiting for Niranjan. I just said, I don't want to get committed," replied Nandini.

Soon they saw Niranjan in the living room, working on his laptop. After seeing that Neha asked, "What are you doing Niranjan?"

"Oh, umm... I was filling out Sanjana's college admission form for the University of Paris."

"oh! That's great..." said Neha.

Nandini's phone buzzed, breaking the silence. "Excuse me," she said, smiling apologetically at Neha and Niranjan.

She stepped away, walking to a quiet corner of the room. Niranjan's eyes followed her, noticing the way her face lit up as she answered.

"Hey!" Nandini's voice carried, her giggles echoing through the room.

Neha leaned in, discussing their investigation. "I think we should review the records of City Hospital again."

Niranjan nodded, his gaze drifting back to Nandini. She was laughing, her eyes sparkling.

After a few minutes, Nandini returned, her cheeks flushed. "Sorry about that."

"Who was that?" Niranjan asked, his tone casual.

Nandini's smile faltered for a moment. "Ishaan."

Niranjan's expression changed. "Ishaan? Ishaan Chaurasia? The one who said he liked you, in college?"

Nandini nodded. "Yeah, that's him."

Niranjan's eyes narrowed. "What's he doing now?"

Nandini shrugged. "Just catching up. He's working in Mumbai."
