They reached college and checked in their classes. Sachin was still thinking about Swapna. Just then he remembered that he has to collect books from his senior. He checked for Sourabh in his class. He was nowhere to be seen.
Strange! That guy is missing for past one week.
Suddenly he heard someone mention Sourabh’s name. He turned around.
“Arey where is Sourabh yaar? That guy is having my I pod”
“Dunno man! He is not seen in his hostel room too. Even the warden is not disclosing anything about him”
“That’s strange!”
What?! What is happening around me?!
The whole day Sachin was distracted. The moment he reached home locked himself in his room. His uncle noticed this and went to his room. He asked Sachin what was troubling him. He told whatever his aunt told him that day morning.
“Hmmm... so she told you also huh?!”
“Well ya... So it is true?! You already knew about this?”
“Yes.. er Actually.. nothing.. Leave it Sachin”
“What uncle.. please tell me what is it?”
“I don’t know beta... Maybe it is true”
“WHAT?”
“I encountered similar situation when we were in Delhi. A family friend vanished without any trace! In fact your parents knew about it. After that incident only Bhaiya and Bhabhi left us alone in this world. The accident happened immediately after that incident. Though I don’t think it’s connected in anyway. We didn’t want you to get affected since that house had painful memories. We shifted here to Shimla. “
“But uncle”
“No Sachin... Don’t keep thinking about this now... Now get back to your studies... And come down for dinner”
“Hmm… ok uncle”
Sachin was not able to understand anything. Swapna, Sourabh and now his parents! He was going mad.
Is this true?! What happened to my parents?! Was it really an accident?
