Author's POV

Darkness had spread in the atmosphere calling it at night. Rising up from the seat janvi checked the time to get it too late. It was now dinner time and yet saransh hadn't returned home. He left the home after their heated fight probably in anger. She came downstairs as Pallavi and anand were present there, smiling at them she walked near her mother in law.

"Maa, Where is Saransh?" Wiggling the eyebrows the couple exchanged a confusing look with each other and then to her.

"He didn't tell you? I thought you knew, Anand, call him."

"No he didn't !" Janvi spoke out lowering her head. Her palms got wet as she was feeling scared by his absence.

"He isn't picking up the call. I think, he is in the office. Don't worry, when he will look at the missed calls, he will call. Now come and have your dinner ." Anand told but hearing it janvi got more tense. Where he must have gone?

Her face was losing its colour now, pallavi placed a palm over her shoulder trying to assure her but how will she be normal without him? It's true that she wanted a divorce from him but that was for his happiness. Because of her own happiness she didn't want him to be childless whole life.

"Janvi_"

"Maa, mujhe bhuk nahi hain. Main apne room mein jaati hu." Giving no time for them to speak janvi turned and left for her room.

(I am not hungry. I am going to my room)

"I think there's something going on between them. In the morning, Saransh was behaving oddly and now Janvi_ " Pallavi sat beside her husband, getting tensed for her son. Anand assured her with his palm on her shoulder.

"Everything is alright. You overthink always" She nodded her head agreeing with him.

***********

Again and again the same line, she was hearing it for the nth time but again failing. It's been an hour since she was trying to call him but he isn't taking the call. Neither his parents nor her. By now janvi has become over suspicious, sweat was dipping down her pale face as she was fearing for him. Where is he? Why isn't he picking her call? Is he fine? Anything wrong__ no no! Her Saransh is alright, nothing can happen to him.

Waiting for long janvi settled uncomfortably on the couch beside the window and dozed off into sleep without eating anything.

On the other hand still a tensed pallavi was thinking about her son and daughter in law, though the matter of janvi wanting divorce is hidden from them but she was feeling something wrong. She was getting the bad vibes now.

"Yeh dekho, tumhare bete ka message aa gaya. Kaha tha na office hi gaya hoga. Aaj usski night duty hain iss liye jaldi nikal gaya bol raha hain." Anand came informing his tensed wife about their son.

(See, his message. I told you, he is in the office. He has night duty today)

She breathed relieved and got up from the bed. "Let me tell Janvi. She was tense."

"Saransh ne kaha hain vo janvi ko bata dega, tum baitho aur vaise bhi vo abhi tak so gayi hogi, kitna late ho gaya hain." Pallavi thought for some time and then dropped the idea.

(Saransh told me, he'll tell Janvi. You sit here. It's already late. Janvi is sleeping, maybe)

Soon it was morning, birds began their chirping and the sun rose high in the sky. A white police car stopped in front of the malik mansion, getting out of it saransh asked the constable to park it and he walked inside.
