Is he the one?

16) Missing

She sat down resting her back against the wall. Her tears were doing its work still not knowing why it is coming. Due to the slap. Yeah! it is normal for naina to get slap from her father for useless reason. This time even she don't know what's the reason.

She was trying hard to reason why she is going through these punishments. But all her hardwork went in vain. She saw her dad, no her father talking in phone very seriously. All she heard was her sister's name. Her father saw her spying him. He held the call and came near her room but stopped near the door. He locked her from outside and went to work he was doing previously.

Now she is more confused about her own state. She don't know what she had done that her family is keeping her in house arrest. She thought about her father's talk in phone. He talks about deepika. Yes...where is she? She must have returned from college. No naina. She is on her study holidays. She should be at home. She can be at her friend's house for group study. But she didn't tell something like that in morning. Group study! that to in this terrible situation. What if papa ji house arrested her like me? Then she must be in the house only.

Her wave of imagination was disturbed by buaji. She kept a plate of food near and sat down without speaking.

"Bua ji, please talk with me. What did I do? Where is didi?"

"Don't act naina. You know where is your sister."

"No I don't know anything about her. I even don't know why you all are treating me like this."

"Naina really you don't know?"

"Yes bua. Please believe me."

"Bhagwan jhutna bhulaye we suspected you. Beta deepika wasn't home for hours. Your dad found a guy's pic from her notebook. He created a big scene. He is believing that she must have eloped with that guy and you helped them. Please tell if know anything."

"No. Didi can't do such a thing. She will return soon."

"Bela!! Don't talk to her. She will mix venom in you too. She has already did it with my daughter. Because of her my deepika is suffering. If she don't return I know what to do with naina." Rakesh shouted.

Naina was hurt more. She had to suffer whenever her sister do mistakes. Her father will never believe her. He believes only deepika - his daughter.

Bela turned to the poor figure sitting infront of her. She didn't know how to console her. She is very small to manage with her evil bhaiya.

"I believe you naina. You know his nature. Don't mind him. Eat food first." She extended her hand to feed her food. But naina didn't open her mouth. So bela forcefully made her eat food.

Naina rested her head on bela's lap and slept but not peacefully. That peace will get only in mother's lap. No wonder bela is like a mother to naina but not a mother. If she is then she mustn't have misunderstood naina. Naina shouldn't have justified her.

At the other end of the city. One soul was pacing restlessly glancing at the phone every now and then.

When will you call? You promised that you will call at 9. See the time it is 11.

Naina is always punctual even at calling. But today she hadn't call even after 2 hours. It made him afraid more. All he know that her family is so strict when it comes to naina.

She opened her eyes and saw herself sleeping on the bed. She searched for her sister but ahe realized that she hadn't returned. She got up from her bed and went near the door. What she saw was a happy one but also sad for naina.
