It's been two days and there is no hint of Anshika. Even the kidnapper calls in fucking 24 hours and here we are looking at the phone screen for some beeps.
"We are not able to get any information."said the police officer in tired tone.
"It's been fucking two days officer don't give me this bullshit. What is police all about? to help people right? How can you not find my daughter?" my voice started rising.
"I request you to maintain your behaviour over here or else I won't allow to sit here"
I sat back again in the chair. I don't wanna leave this place otherwise I will lose one hope of getting Anshika back.
"We are going out for investigation and I will suggest you to return back home. You will achieve nothing by just sitting here."
I gave no response to his words and kept on sitting with me eyes on my feet.
After the officers left I got a call from Dad, "Eva?come back home. It's been two days, nothing will change by just sitting over there."
"Dad, I know nothing will change but this is the only way I will get hope of getting Anshika back."
"Think over it. Anshika won't want you to just wait for her but to look for her. After all its all your choice." saying this he hung up.
I kept on stomping my feet for few minutes and went straight to home.
Maybe dad is right.
I opened the door and sat on sofa.
Riya gave me her office card once in starting when I asked where she used to work.
I searched in her room, my drawer, study table but I couldn't find it and then I checked my purse where I keep all the cards and there I found it.
So it is in Navi Mumbai.
I left home and drove straight to Navi Mumbai. As soon as I reached there I had to look for this cooperation and I was glad that my GPS could find this place easily.
I reached the office where I found a neatly dressed woman at the reception.
"Hi, How may I help you?" she asked in a polite tone.
"Hi actually I am looking for a girl named Riya Mehra."
"Let me search for this name in the computer" she started scrolling and I was praying I could get a hint.
"Sorry Ma'am. There is nobody named Riya Mehra in this office."
"How come that can be possible? She came for work here for few days."
"Let me check again then." she started scrolling and again and shook her head." No ma'am, there is nobody named Riya here."
"I got this card" I showed her the card Riya gave to me.
She looked at the card and shook her head again" This is a fake card ma'am. Our company has it's logo on every card just like this." she showed me the other which had the logo.
"Okay. Thank you for the help." I said and left the office.
This card got my hopes very high and now everything is useless.
I was standing near my car when I got a tap on my shoulder, I turned around and found Arush standing behind me.
"Hey Eva?What are you doing here." he asked in a confused tone.
I don't know what to reply to him and I haven't even told to anyone about Anshika getting kidnapped because I don't want this to be the talk of few days and this will only result into trouble for Anshika because the more people know it, the more it will be hard to get her as Riya has high connections and she will know my every move. So I decided not to tell him.
"Oh Hi Arush, I am just here looking for a new job. Why are you here?"
"Oh wow in Navi Mumbai? That's great.Oh me? well I work in this company, just joined few months ago and I was coming back from the cafe and saw you, so I came here."
"Oh okay" I said softly
He observed me for a minute and asked "Hey Eva, would like to come in my birthday party tomorrow?"
"Ah sorry Arush, I am not attending any event after that incident."
"Ah I understand but actually Me, Kabir and Ayaan always used to celebrate my birthday at my farmhouse and I don't want to feel Ayaan's absence in my party." He paused and continued "Don't worry about the people, it will be only me, kabir and his girlfriend Riya."
I looked up at the sudden mention of her name.
"Who? Riya?"
"Yes Riya Mehra, these guys are dating for few months haha quiet a lovey dovey couples. So are you coming?"
I should go or not? Maybe by this I will catch hold of Riya.
"Sure Arush. I will be there."
"Okay see you around 7pm then." and then he went inside his office.
