THE SEARCH BEGINS .......


They set out to take a walk in the valley . Rehaan takes him to all their neighbors house where they show the photograph to check if anybody had seen Sonakshi around. They come back for lunch with no luck . Rui was spread around 10 kms in all directions ...... the whole day they tried with no luck .

Exhausted they return back . 



Mother : kuch hua ...... kisi ne dekha ?

Mother : Suno ....... Ye riste bhi aise hi hote hai .....Jitna pyaar hota hi ...Utna hi haq hota hai khafaa hone ka . Himmat nahi haarna .... thik hai ?

Rohit nods 


Rehaan kal unko nadhi ke uss taraf leke jaana ..... 

Haan maa....... 


The next day they start their routine search again with no luck . 

At the end of 4 days they had tried every other household in the valley . . and both sides of the river  bed but nobody seemed to have seen her anywhere . Rohit was loosing hope .
