Aarav was ready to leave, it was already 10 PM, and everyone had gone to their rooms after dinner. He stepped outside and called for the driver to bring the car
"Chabi mujhe de dein mai Chala jaonga" Aarav said to the driver
"Sir ne apke saath Jane ka bola thaa" the driver replied
"Nahi mai Chala jaon ga aap jain aur guards ko bhee mana kar dein koi zaroorat nahi hai aane ki" Aarav said taking the keys and the driver nodded and left
He asked his friend for the location and made his way to the area, which was situated away from the city along a strange, dark road. There was a small spot where all the boys had gathered
"Idhar ki chai bhot famous hai yaar" one of the boys said
"Pura shehar chor k yehi aik jagah Mili hai chai k liye ? Itni mushkil se aaya hoon main yahan location say" Aarav said
The conversation flowed easily among the boys, and they lost track of time as they enjoyed their tea and discussed nearly everything. A few guys left, leaving Aarav and three other boys still sitting there engaged in conversation.
"Yaar bhot deir hogayi hai aur wapis jaate jaate bhee aik ghanta lagega almost" the boy said as he got up and Aarav got up too he checked his watch it was already 11:55pm
He quickly rushed toward the car after saying goodbye to the boys. The three guys piled into the same car and drove off. Aarav covered a few hundred meters before he opened his phone to check the location, but it turned off because the battery was low
Rahul on the other hand went to check on Nisha who was sleeping peacefully after having her medicines , he stood next to her for a few minutes and then came out of the room and though of checking on Aarav
He opened the door and found no one in the room , he strictly asked him to be home early but it was already past midnight and hasn't returned
He angrily took out his phone and dialed Aaravs number but the phone was switched off
Aarav panicked because he didn't know the location at all and was completely dependent on his phone. His friends had taken their way back home, and Aarav was driving slowly
He continued straight on that long, straight road, with a dark, forest like area to his right. The road was completely dark, with no other spots to be found. He didn't even feel like stopping the car in that strange, dark area, as it felt unsettling
Aarav covered some distance, hoping to find some spot to ask for the location. He had left that place a while ago and didn't feel like going back there
It was already 12:40, but the road was long, dark, quiet, and straight. He didn't even have any drivers or guards following him
Aarav felt like someone was following him in a car from a little distance. He immediately sped up his car, and the other car raced as well, trying to cover the distance. Aarav kept the speed full, trying to stay ahead
Rahul was really worried and not feeling good at all. He was pacing the hall, waiting for his brother. When he called the driver, he found out that Aarav had asked them to leave, and Anger rushed into his veins
Rahul's gut feeling made him call his PA to track Aarav's car. Restlessness consumed him as various thoughts raced through his mind
Aarav very swiftly covered the distance away from the sight of that car. Sweat formed on his forehead. it was already 1, and he had no idea where he was driving to. The road remained all dark, and there was no one to be found
