Hello friends , the story will be mostly in swara's point of view .I'll try to give  Sanskar's pov but I'm not sure about it .plz read the note at the end

So let's go to the story
*****
Delhi,

Scene starts from a small dark room  a small weak body lying on the bed .all curled up and pale.

swara sits on bed with support of head board . phone at the side table starts vibrating.
Swara stare at the phone and sighs deeply. receiving the phone she jerks at the loud voice,

"hello ..hello.. hey Shona are you there .. listen yaar are you coming today or not ..boss is very angry and..."

"Piya..piya..calm down ...and yes I'm coming .. it's just that I was not feeling well ."

" are  you taking your medicine on time..,.how many times I need to tell you to take care of yourself....."

"I'm sorry ....ok leave it but can you  talk to boss . I can't face him now...make any convincing story so that I don't need to meet him"

"Ok I'll tell him some excuse but be here at time ok ..or else you know..."

"Ok Bubba i'll be there at time  bye.."

Piya ,her friend and co-worker, the only person she knows here.she is just 19 but life made her strong enough to survive in the world )

Keeping the phone at side she stared at the mirror on the front.  Some moments flashed in front of her.

"You're the most beautiful woman in the world Shona you don't need to see mirror just look into my eyes.."said Sanskar snuggling closer to her .

"Shut up Sanskar"
Giggling she pushed him away..

Coming out of the trance,inaudibly
Shighing she got up and headed to her closet .

Evening ,at  angel's bar.

Dressed in a loose silver gown swara stood at the middle of the stage.many eyes lustily gazing her..
claps thundered as she finished her last song ,bending slightly towards the audience .swara ran as fast as she can to the washroom . feeling nauseous.from all the smokes and alcohol .
It was a tiring job ,non-stop demands from the audience and plus  the unbearable smell of alcohol makes it a lot difficult..
Washing her layers of make-up and changing into a simple salwar kameez she got out of the club.
Life has become so suffocating for her only one hope keeping her alive yet she chose to struggle .she vowed to never give a miserable life like hers to her little one .

Bangalore,evening 7.30 pm

Typing furiously on his keyboard Sanskar tried to concentrate on his laptop.
A sudden knock broke his trance
"Sir , Mr nivin has come to meet you "said Ananya his p.a.
" send him in and don't disturb untill the meeting finishes'
"Ok sir "

A young man in mid twenties with slight beard entered his cabin. seeing him Sanskar started to shout clenching his fists from the moment he steps in..

Sanskar: Three months ..bloody three months  and i have no fucking clue what are you doing till now ... you're the best of your field still you are not able to find a single women.

Nivin(a very talented detective also a very handsome man 😉😉)

Nivin:Mr. Maheshwari mind your language  I'm doing my job and you also know we hadn't any clue  to start.. (composing himself) by the way I'm here because I found something ..we have got a fb video which is being viral of a singer singing in a bar . ...

  Sanskar takes the chip and connect it to his laptop 

Nivin: because of smoke and crowd  recognising is difficult but according to our search , she is Mrs. Maheshwari. we thought if you want to identify her voice.

video is blurry with dim lights , smokes and crowds making it more difficult to see clearly.
A melodious sound mixing with many whistling and clapping sound suddenly fills the room . Sanskar's eyes turns Misty ,he can never forget his loves voice .it's soothing effect on him can be never replaced by anything. a sudden realisation down upon him with a loud whistling sound.eyes red with fury , he asks  Nivin about the address.

Nivin: sir , location is Delhi ,at angel's bar .a small bar famous for its various entertainment programmes . Not much famous

Sanskar: and what is she doing there.

Nivin: job, she sings there for audience according to their demands. everyone knows her as  Shona .she lives at a small apartment in rent at some distance from the main city.
(It's purely my imagination I've never been outside  even of my district so ignore the mistakes 😁😁)

Sanskar:Any more information

Nivin: no, sir nobody knows her personally .she never interacts with anyone .she is famous in bar for her singing but even her co -workers are unknown to her .and yes there is a girl , a dancer at the same bar .she knows her but we weren't able to reach her .

Sanskar : thanks and be ready we're leaving to Delhi in an hour .talk to my p.a about tickets.

Nivin: what..??

Sanskar :I'll not  repeat myself . we'll meet at the airport and be on time .and stop behaving like strangers.im sorry for shouting on you.

Sanskar leaves and nivin mutters under his breath 'khadoos'

(Sanskar lives in his office at 8th floor)
