"Abhira......." Manish shouted as he entered the House.

Everyone looked at him in shock. Ruhi who was already shocked seeing Armaan's broken state for Abhira got more shocked seeing her B Nanu too came there for Abhira.

"B Nanu." She whispered to herself as tears fell down her eyes.

Manish came inside while stumbling but Swarna held her.

"Abh...Abhira.... Kaha ho tu...tum. De...Dekho tum....tumhare Par Na...Nanu tumse miln....milne aay....aaye hai." Manish shouted looking around the house.

He went towards Madhav and held his shoulders.

"Aap.... aap gay.....gaye the na us....use dhundhne.....Kaha hai voh? Bata....bataiye na kaha hai voh Madh.... Madhav ji?" He asked.

Manish's eyes scanned the room until they fell upon Armaan, who was still on the floor, lost in his grief. With a heavy heart, he made his way over to him.

"Armaan," Manish said softly as he knelt down in front of him, "Armaan, beta, kaha hai Abhira? Tu....tumne use dekha hai? Kam...kamre me...mein hai kya voh?"

But Armaan was consumed by his sorrow, his cries drowning out Manish's words. He couldn't even bring himself to look up, his heart shattered into a million pieces.

"Ko...koi kuch bol kyu na...nahi raha hai? Kaha ha....hai Abhira? Ba....bataiye na ka...kaha hai voh?" He again asked looking at everyone.

Manish's heart sank as he looked around the room, hoping for any sign of Abhira's presence. But the silence only echoed his fears.

"Koi... koi kuch bol kyu nahi raha hai?" Manish's voice trembled with desperation. "Kaha hai Abhira? Bataiye na kaha hai voh?"

Madhav's eyes filled with tears as he stepped forward, his voice choked with emotion. "Manish ji, humne... humne sab kuch kiya, lekin... lekin Abhira..."

But before Madhav could finish his sentence, Armaan's anguished cry filled the room. "Nahi... no, voh... voh zinda hai. Mujhe mehsoos hota hai. Mujhe... mujhe use dhoondhna hai."

Manish looked at him in shock.

"Ye....yeh kya keh...keh rahe ho.....tu...tum, Armaan? Zin...zinda hai se k....kya matlab hai tumhara? Kaha hai Abhira?" He shouted angrily.

"Manish ji..... Abh....Abhira ka accident ho ga....gaya tha jis...jiski vajah se voh ge...gehri khaai mein gir gayi aur sabne us....use dhundhne ki koshish ki par voh na...nahi mili..... Sab....sabka kehna hai ki ab voh.....voh is dun...duniya mein, humare beech na....nahi rahi......" Manoj said with his trembling voice.

Manish's hands trembled with disbelief as he heard Manoj's words. "Nahi... na....nahi, yeh... yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Abhira... Abhira humare saath thi... voh kaise..."

Tears welled up in his eyes, his heart torn apart by the news of Abhira's fate.

"A....aap ye.....yeh kya keh raha hai?" Manish's voice quivered with emotion. "Abhira... voh kaise."

Manoj's own eyes filled with tears "Manish ji, yeh sachai hai... hum sabne uska intezaar kiya, lekin... lekin Abhira humare beech nahi hai."

Manish's hands clenched into fists as he struggled to accept the truth. "Nahi... no, yeh jhoot hai... Abhira zinda hai... voh... voh mere pass aayegi."

But deep down, he knew that no amount of denial could change what had happened. Abhira was gone, and the pain of her loss threatened to engulf him entirely.
