Enchanted Pursual (Complete)

Chapter 30

Mitali Jain.

The search for the said paintings had gone too far for our parents liking, with us being out and working on it day and night, it seemed for a moment that we might as well have to postpone the dates.

But since I was getting married to Jai Kapadia there were perks, planners were hired, and so were designers and what not. Things that might have taken almost days had been done at the speed of hour's time, and through this arrangement it was that we had received a call.

The two most important paintings that we were looking for were found, and it did not just give away the place that we were looking for but as well rose a hope within us that we might find Daksh soon.

May be I wouldn't really have to go through my engagement without my friend. The thought had almost made me smile in glee. It seemed selfish but I was relieved, at least till certain extent.

With a numerous of warnings from our parents, Grandma smiling at us understandingly and Vansh voicing out his thoughts of how cool this whole thing was and somehow matched the stories of Nancy drew and Hardy boys that he once had read, while we boarded our cars, our destination being Panji.

The location that we found after finding yet another holding that was ohh so very well painted in one of the paintings that showed the name of the famous location. It didn't take us long to Google it up, and finally we were here.

It was just about next 20 minutes or so that we would reach. My hands have begun to sweat in anticipation. What if all of this just for nothing? Or maybe, even if we did found him, what was it that we were going to confront him for?

There were so many things that went off and on in my mind. The number of ways I would great him, some had the dramatic effect of me slapping him, some had a normal hellos, others had me staying still as that of a statue while Jai and Naveen would do all the work.

"Mitali, don't worry, it will be okay, I have contacted Veer, he said he will be here by tomorrow." Jai said, his hands separated mine, which were twisting the fingers in and around.

"I just hope that we are on the right track. "

"We are, Mitali don't worry, here drink some of this." Naveen handed me the bottle of water, quickly taking in, I gulped down a few huge sips and realized even though the environment was cool with the Ac running, my insides were burning, and my throat was as dry as the Sahara.

"We will be there in next five minutes." As soon as Naveen announced this, I felt my hands held on to Jai's tightly, and what surprised me more was...so did his.

It made me realize, it wasn't just me who was nervous, rather both... or may be all of us.

And as the distance reduced, the small cute house came into view; I could feel my breath stopping a bit in anticipation.

This was it... though it wasn't that huge, we were just here to find our friend, but the realization that the reason could be something worse, made me shudder.

"I had called the local police to look into this place an hour ago, I really hope it's them only." Naveen said as he pointed towards the small crowd that was gathered around the entrance of the house.

The cute white and blue colored house, with the shrubs that hung from the windows gave such a native feeling, as we walked closer, did I realized the significance of the sea that was hidden right behind the number of trees but could be seen from the front of the house.

'This place was made with so much of planning and love.' I thought.

As soon as we reached the gate, one of the officers walked up to us and enquired.
