Chapter 27

A/N 

Right before I had sat down to edit this chapter, I didnt remember its ending was what it has, and it feels as if its the most beautiful ones that i have written up until now. i really hope you all will like this. 

February 2009

The foggy environment around us was so disturbing; time and again it made me worried the hands of the clock were ticking by so quickly, as if it was reminding me, mocking us how long we had lost with our own negligence.

But more than that it made me realize now what Mitali would have felt. It seemed so easy to just tell her to calm down, to not let the things take a toll on her, that more than anything I was important – somewhere yes I did wished she would give me more importance than the people who weren't there at present.

And now with the wheels of the car running off into right opposite direction for me, do I realize it's not easy. It's not easy to have a friend go lost, to have no news about them, to not know what could have gone wrong for him to go off missing all of a sudden.

the thoughts didn't ended up there, rather the way the fog even in the midst of February clouded the classes of our car making it almost difficult to predict the exteriors, my thoughts and mind would take me to the days when Daksh would tell us about his parents, how they had met in an accident how things were while he was a kid, how not always was it that things were this clean and beautiful.

"Jai, Naveen had called me right now, he said that the police are trying to get a clue on him, do you think we could go somewhere, any place that you might know would help us to locate him?" Mitali enquired. Her questions and information made me feel even weaker. It was as if someone had just brought up a huge mess upon me.

"I don't know, it's just this house of his that we know about. Daksh is a very private person. He won't let us into many things. "I informed. My voice sounded strange even to my own eyes.

Was it the weather that was so weary or I was at the best of my emotional state?

"Mitali, let's go home for now, the police is doing their job, I sure within a few days we will get to know something or the other."

"Jai are you okay? If you want we can go somewhere-"

I shook my head in negative and gave her a small smile, I knew what she wanted to say but at this moment I wanted to sleep on this. I took hold of her hand and kissed her knuckles, "its okay, our mothers will be waiting for us, you have to go to the gallery as well tomorrow."

"No its okay I can take a leave!" Mitali suggested without even thinking for a second. Was she always like this? The sudden thought made me smile, as her eyes searched my face for what only she knew.

"no that's no needed, Mitali, Daksh is a grown up man, we don't really have to worry about him the way we are, let's wait for a few days and the police is there right, please lets go home you have to meet Naveen as well."

At the mention of Naveen's name her eyes enlarged in the most comical way, as she began cursing.

"Ohh, shit, if you are here almost at the brink of being Dev das I am sure he would have surpassed all the limits, now get this car into ignition before he downs up every drop of those wines."

And it was just like that I forgot, for a while atlest, but I did. I did forgot that Daksh being lost was a worrisome thing, as I laughed at the way Mitali bounced a bit in her seat asking me to make it quick, she had a mission now, to save her brother from dying off liver cancer.

Somewhere through her words it made me wonder who made her think that a bit of wine could cause liver damage, but that was Mitali, when she loved, she would go beyond everything and when she would be worried, she was just like any other mother, and I was happy to have her as mine.
