***********************************************************************************************

Dev held his head in his hands and tried to calm himself by taking deep breaths.

He didn't remember how he exited the store. All he remembered was Sonakshi leaving on her scooty and the empty feeling after wards. As his car rolled to a stop in front of his house, Mohan turned around and said, " Sahab, ghar aa gaya." Dev didn't look up. Continuing to take deep breaths he softly said, "Samaan uttar dijiye aur phir office chaliye. Ma poochey toh kehna aapne mujhey pehley hi office chhor diya." Mohan nodded and got to work.

The moment Mohan finished unloading all the groceries and walked into the house, Dev removed his hands from his face and took out his phone. He dialled Sonakshi's number and held it to his ear. She had no right to leave the penthouse. Where would she go? What would she do? And she didn't say a word when she saw him. His scenario was different. He could do whatever he wished with the penthouse. He owned it. And besides, when he left, he knew what he was doing. Sonakshi didn't know what she was doing!

He would have to talk to her, immediately. He would have to break the no contact rule this once. But she didn't receive his call. So he tried again. But, nothing. He threw his phone on the seat beside him. What had he expected? Wasn't he the one to tell her to stay away from him? She was merely listening to what he said. But he never asked her to leave! Why was she doing this to him? Dev rubbed his temples. He could feel a headache coming.

If he couldn't contact Sonakshi, he would have to do the next best thing, talk to Tina. He needed to get to his office, as soon as possible. Mohan came back at that moment. The moment he settled into the driver's seat Dev ordered, " Jaldi chaliye."

Twenty minutes later he was on his way up to his cabin when Tina called him again, " Sir, aap kahan hai?" Dev didn't need to answer the question as he found Tina on the other side of the elevator doors as he stepped out. Tina immediately hung up and walked to Dev, "Sir Dr. Bose.." Dev held up his hand, " Pata hai. Mujhey yeh batao ki unhoney penthouse chhorney ka reason kya diya?" Tina sighed, " Unhoney kahan ki penthouse unke liye bohot extravagant hogaya hai." By this time Dev and Tina were standing near Tina's table.

Dev spotted Sonakshi's rent agreement file on her desk and said, "Toh ab woh kahan rahegi?" Tina nodded her head gravely and said, " Pata nahin Sir. Woh toh kal raat ko hi mujhsey milna chahti thi. Par main uss time free nahin thi sir. Aaj subah jab woh ayi thi, unki baton se aisa laga ki kal raat ko hi unhoney Penthouse chhor diya tha."

Dev's head snapped up, "kal raat ko? Par kal toh main hi kaafi der se nikla tha." Tina scrunched up her brows, "Wahin main soch rahi thi Sir. Agar woh kal raat ko nikal gayi, aapko kaise nahin pata chala. Dr. Bose ki baton se bhi yahi laga ki aap ke absence me unhone yeh sab kiya. Aap kahan the Sir?" Dev said nothing. He picked up Sonakshi's agreement file and said, " Pata lagao ki Sonakshi kahan reh rahi hai."

Tina wanted to ask a lot of questions. But when Dev had clearly given her the signal that he didn't want to talk about it, she couldn't say a word against it. As Dev shut his cabin door, Tina sat down to make some phone calls in order to find out Sonakshi's location. Dev on the other hand, threw the file onto his table and sat on his chair. After staring blankly for a few seconds he whipped out his phone and started scrolling. Once he arrived at the contact named 'Goenka hospital', he dialled it.
