ENTWINED BY FAITH PART 26…

@PART 26…

@AFTER DINNER
@ATHARV’S ROOM
Atharv: Suk now what?
Suk keeps five files on the bed: Now this.
Manik: What’s this?
Suk: Medical reports.
Atharv straightening himself: As far as I remember we stole only two files where did the rest come from.
Suk picking up two files: These are the two files that we stole (picking another one) this is mom’s file that I got from Sahil mamu and (picking another file) this is the file that I got from library (picking the last file) and this is the file that I took before running just in case if they caught me I could give them this one but to my luck that never happened.
Boys nod.

Manik casually: Whose file is the one you took casually?
Suk while reading the name: Some Kamini Shukla.
Boys nod and then Suk keeps that file away.
Suk: But this is very confusing.
Manik: Which file belongs to whom, that’s confusing??
Suk hitting him with the pillow: Shut up idiot, the confusing part is that the four files accept for the extra one, nothing matches in those files all are hell different from each other.
Atharv: How’s that possible?
Suk: Well that is the only thing which is confusing me. Look the file of mumma which I got from hospital is completely different from the one which I got from mamu. The file which mamu gave states that you are dead.
Manik: What the wuck? He is alive.
Suk: Yes and that is what the file which we got from the hospital states.
Atharv: Really.
Suk nods. They open the files and read them well for her convince Suk had penned down the meaning of all the medical terms on the file itself which earns her an impressive look from the boys. On reading the two files they conclude that both are different from each other.
Manik: This means that the files were morphed.
Atharv: Ya you can say that.
Suk: But how will we get to know why?
Atharv: Only one person can tell us that.
Manik: Who?
Atharv: The doctor who made both the files.
Sukanya: Ya true and you know what the doctor for all the files that I have is coincidently same.
Manik: Who is the one?
Sukanya reading the name from file: Dr. Samar Srivastava.

He is such weird signatures.
Manik: Will he be even alive by now.
Suk: Maybe and if yes then he would be some oldie of nearly 85-90 years. I think so.
Atharv: Oh my goodness do you think he will tell us anything.
Suk: Vo toh baat kar kar hi pata chalega.
(That we can only know once we talk with him.)
Boys nod in agreement.
Atharv: But how will we know about him.

Both Suk and Atharv look at each other and nod understandingly and then they look at Manik sheepishly.

Manik understanding there motive tries to run but both catch him: No no no guys I am not hacking any device now.
Suk with a cute pout: Won’t you do this much for us we are your besties.
Manik: Hell with bestie remember the last time we were caught I don’t want that to happen again.
Suk: Oye tun itna bada fattu kabse ban Gaya.
(When did you turn out to be such a big coward.)
Manik: I am not a coward but I don’t want to mess up again.
Suk: Please.
Atharv: Please bro.
Manik finally gives in: Okay.
Where’s the system.
Atharv points towards a table.
Manik sits there: I swear if papa gets to know this he will kill me.
Atharv: No worries we are there.
Suk: Ya we will help him to kill you.
Manik and Atharv stare her while she bites her tongue.
Suk: Fast.
Manik nods and starts his work but then the server doesn’t connects.
Manik: Great server down.
Suk: Shit! Now what.
Atharv: Surely somebody would have switched of the wi-fi.
Suk irritated: Now what?
Manik: Chill we will search him tomorrow, till then I will try stalking him and that would be a better idea then hacking into hospital’s private data base.
He says gritting his teeth.
Suk irritated: Fine Mr. Ethical Hacker.

Manik nods in isn’t it obvious.
Well Manik aims at being an ethical hacker and computers is his first true love but he isn’t really sure about trying his luck in ethical hacking but is one prominent hacker and man of rules he never hacked something wrong until and unless it doesn’t includes his dad’s accounts, friend’s facebook accounts or maybe school’s security just to loop it. It’s in his company that Suk knows a little bit of hacking and owing to that she had looped the cameras on their adventure night.

Suk: Fine I will leave then you guys sleep. Good night.
Boys wish her and soon she leaves being in her own web of thoughts.

@SHIVAAY’S ROOM
Anika is walking to and fro in the room, when Suk approaches her.
Suk: What happened mumma?
Anika: Nothing, I am just waiting for Shivaay he has left after lunch but isn’t back yet.
Suk: Don’t worry mumma maybe he would be stuck in some work, he will definitely return soon. You sleep it’s getting quite late.
Anika: No it’s okay, you sleep I will sleep later.
Suk: But mumma…
Anika cuts her: Please Suk you sleep I will sleep later.
Suk: Are you sure mumma.
Anika nods.
Suk lays on the bed and owing to her weakness she soon drifts in deep slumber, while for Anika she keeps waiting for Shivaay but then sleep over takes her eyes and she sleeps in sitting position itself.

@NEXT DAY
Early morning every body leaves for their respective work but Shivaay was nowhere to be seen. There was absolutely no trace of him. Anika enquired everyone in home so everybody replied her one same thing that “Shivaay often stays at office for long don’t worry he will come back soon.”, many a times Anika even tried calling Shivaay but his phone remained unreachable. By now it was afternoon and everybody returned for lunch so Anika had some hope that Shivaay will also return but to her luck he didn’t appear.

@HALL
Suk: Mumma did you see billu ji any where?
Anika: No Suk he hasn’t come home since previous afternoon I have looked for him everywhere in the house and I have called him many times but he isn’t picking up the call moreover Khanna even doesn’t knows Shivaay’s where abouts.
Suk: Did you call in his office.
Anika: Yes I did but the receptionist said he isn’t there.
(turning to Om) Om you call him once.
Om: Okay Bhabhi I will call him.

After calling for four to five times Om too looks tensed as Shivaay didn’t receive the call.

Anika: Did Shivaay tell anybody something.
All nod in no.
Atharv being worried: Papa goes to office and often stays there till late but he never does something like this.
Suk: Chote papa call someone else in his office maybe they know about his whereabouts.
Om: Wait I will call Mishra.

Om comes after calling Mishra: Mishra is saying that Shivaay had gone Nasik yesterday afternoon and he said there is no need to tell anybody he will himself inform us and meeting was urgent so he had to leave all of a sudden but…
Anika: But what?
Om: But Shivaay didn’t reach for meeting.
Rudra: How is that even possible?
Om: I don’t know.
Dadi: Om call the Nasik branch.
Om nods and dials the call to Nasik branch.
Om: Omkara Singh Oberoi this side please pass the call to Shivaay Singh Oberoi.
P.O.C.: Sorry sir we aren’t allowed to pass any calls. This is secret branch of SSO no one is allowed to talk to him here.

Om turning to everyone: They are saying nobody is allowed an access to the information there.
Anika hurriedly: Why?
Om looks at Rudra and then composing himself tells her: Actually Bhabhi that’s a high security office it has all the Oberoi’s secretes and no one is permitted to know anything about that place not even about the person who goes inside that place. It is kept under tight security always.
Anika: But as family members we can get to know about them.
Rudra: No Bhabhi no family member is allowed an access to the information of the person who goes there until…
Anika: Until what Rudra?
Rudra: Until they know the password and answer to the questions which the receptionist will ask.
Anika: So you all would know it right.
Om: No Bhabhi only Shivaay knows everything.

Everyone becomes upset but then Sukanya remembers something and takes the phone from Om.

Suk: Hi doll this side. I want to talk to SSO.
Receptionist: You know the procedure doll.
Suk sighs: Okay, the password is: 169141125 1149111.
Receptionist: Lifeline of SSO?
Suk: Family.
Receptionist: Cupid of doll & SSO?
Suk: Atharv.
Receptionist: The first client of SSO.
Suk: Mr. Clinton Hook.
Receptionist: Okay, ask what you want to.
Suk: Where is SSO?
Receptionist: Definitely not here.
Suk: What do you mean he had a meeting there.
Receptionist: Ya he did have one but he didn’t appear for it.
Suk: Trace down his location.
Receptionist: Are you sure.
Suk: 110%.
Receptionist: Fine, give me five minutes.
Suk: Okay I am on line.
Receptionist after 5 minutes: Doll, SSO’s phone was last switched on at Devgarh and after that phone is switched off.
Suk: At what time.
Receptionist: At night around 9.
Suk: Anything else you can tell.
Receptionist: Well, SSO was coming to Nasik via his car as the chopper went out of order and as I can see… The chopper is landing here.
The reception says as she sees the chopper landing on the helipad of the building, via the computer screen in front of her.
Suk: Great go and check is SSO there.
Receptionist after sometime: Sorry doll, SSO isn’t there actually Jack (the pilot) is saying that SSO has asked him to get the chopper here as soon as it gets fine.
Suk: Fine Stella di (Receptionist), inform me if you get to know about his whereabouts.
Receptionist: Okay doll.

Om asks Suk once she disconnects the call: Where is Shivaay?
Suk: His phone was last tracked at Devgarh but after that his phone is switched off, he was travelling to Nasik by car as his chopper had some problem. But once he entered Devgarh his phone got switched off and there is no other trace of him.
Bhavya being alert: Devgarh…
Suk: Ya chachi Devgarh. Why? Any problem.
Bhavya gets a little more worried and then finding a remote in hush she switches the T.V. On.

The news on T.V. flashes ” Due to some local riots at Devgarh near Pune, under section 412 curfew has been declared as a result people are facing many problems. The riots have led to huge destruction of life and public property. Nearly 12 people have been claimed to die while 55 are injured. These riots have caused trouble not only to local people but to many travellers too. ”

Hearing the news the entire OM becomes numb the only sound of T.V. echoes through out the house. While Anika sits down with thud rest all are baffled with the news.

Bhavya: Abhi thodi dair pehle hi hume call aya tha ki Devgarh mai halaat kharaab hone ki wajha se unhe police force ki zaroorat hai. Hum bhi wahin Jane waale the. Aap sab ghabraiye mat hum wahan ja kar dekhte hain aur koshish karte hain bhaiya ko dhundhne ki.
(A while ago only I got call that due to deteriorating condition of Devgarh they need extra police force. I was also about to go there only. You all don’t worry I will go there and search for bhaiya as well.)

All nod still being in trances while Bhavya leaves.

Anika bursts into fits of tears as dadi tries consoling her.
Anika: Dadi… Shivaay…
Anika trails while Sukanya comes and sits beside her.
Suk keeping her hand on Anika’s shoulder trying to pacify her: Don’t worry mumma billu ji will be fine. And above that he was in that area at night maybe he would have left that place by now. You relax and don’t worry he will be alright.
Om: Haan Bhabhi Sukanya sahi keh rahi hai aap ghabrao maat Shivaay bilkul thik hoga aur jaldi wapas aa jayega.
(Yes Bhabhi Sukanya is right, you don’t worry Shivaay will be alright and return soon.)

Anika nods still being unsatisfied and worried, Om sees Rudra who is really upset and his head is hung down he touches Rudra’s shoulder who looks up at him and the crashes in Om’s arms who tries his best to pacify his baby brother. While Gauri is trying to console Atharv whose eyes are already teary.
Meher: Anika aise himaat maat haro dekho tun aise royegi toh kaise chalega dekho Atharv bhi ro raha hai iss time par tumge usse honsla dena chahiye.
(Anika don’t cry like this please, look even Atharv is crying right now you should console him.)

Anika looks up at Atharv and walks to him and cups his face.

Anika: Atharv tum bilkul mat ghabrao Shivaay bilkul thik honga, tume pata hai pehle bhi kayin baar unhone hume aise sataya hai par fir Vo vapis aa jate hain mujhe pura bharosa hai iss bar bhi aisa hi hoga.
(Atharv you don’t get worried years back also Shivaay use to scare us like this and then he use to come back completely fine I am sure this time also he will be back being completely alright.)
Atharv holding Anika’s habd: Pakka.
(Are you sure.)
Anika nods and takes him in a hug: Pakka.
(For sure.)
She says chocking with emotions and kisses Atharv’s forehead.

Anya coming from outside with Advik, Krish, Aditi and Amanat to Rudra: Papa kya hua bade papa kahan hain aur aap sab aise kun ro rahe ho.
(What happened papa, where is bade papa and why are you all crying.)

Anya asks being an innocent soul she isn’t able to interpret what’s happening but the tension in the house makes her also tensed. Rudra release hug from Om and bends down to the level of his daughter and creasing her face with eyes still teary tries explaining her.

Rudra: Anya your bade papa has become really naughty and just to irritate us he is playing hide and seek with us and now when we are trying to find him he is teasing us even more.
Anya: Then why are you all crying.
Om: What to do Anya if somebody teases and irritates you then you feel sad right, like wise we all are feeling sad.
Anya cutely rubbing away Rudra’s tears: Don’t worry papa we will find him I will help you (trying to cheer everyone up) after all I am the best detective Ravitanya Rudra Sing Oberoi.
Everybody chuckles at her cuteness while Rudra hugs her.
Gauri: Oye meri shaitaan chiraya agar tume yeh chupan chupai jeetni hai na toh chup chao aapne kamre me jakar apne school ka homework khatam karo. Nahi toh tumhare papa haar jayenga.
(Hye you naughty girl if you want to win this hide and seek then go to your room and complete your homework otherwise your papa will loose.)

Anya widens her eyes on the thought of her papa loosing the game and quickly nods in a yes and runs to the room to do her work or rather say make her papa win the game.

Amanat: Papa please tell where bade papa is. I am not Anya and I know it’s no hide and seek tell me where is he.

Om knows that Amanat is quite matured and knows well what’s a truth and lie she can easily differentiate the duo. Seeing someone’s expression and antics she can quickly point out whether the words spoken are truth or lie.
Om looks helplessly around as he can definitely not say a lie and telling her the truth wouldn’t be right she is still a child and giving her tension isn’t happening.

Advik who understood the situation to some extent and even the thoughts of his father takes the initiative this time.
Advik: Amy come with me I have some important work with you.
Amanat: But bhai.
Advik glares her and holding her hand takes her from there.
Gauri: I will explain her you don’t worry.

She says to Om who was looking at his kids retrieving figure being shocked to see his son’s new found maturity, he has definitely changed and changed for good. Om comes out of his trances hearing Gauri’s words and nods in affirmation.

@ADVIK’S ROOM
Amanat: Why did you get me here bhai? Didn’t you see everyone was worried.
Advik: And what were you trying to do solve there problem.
Amanat becomes confused and chooses to stay silent.
Advik: Amy there are always different ways to help. We can help people by physically helping them and sometimes moral support is the biggest help. You know that something has happened (Amanat nods) even I could see that but at this time our family needs to concentrate on solving the problem rather then pacifying each one of us. Do you understand what I mean to say.

Advik days placing his hands on his sister’s shoulder while Amanat nods understandingly.

Amanat: Sorry.
Advik: Shut up buddhu (fool) don’t say sorry and all. We all learn with time and situations. Most of the times you make me understand so what if today I am doing it. Think of it as role reversal.
Amanat smiles and nods.
Advik: And ya don’t ask anybody but if they ask us to leave the matter or do something just nod and do that silently we got to support them and ensure them we are with them and we trust them, okay.
Amanat nods and keeps her hand above Advik’s which he had forwarded: Done bhai.
Advik smiles and hugs her: Don’t worry Amy everything will be fine trust our family they will leave no stone unturned to solve the problem.
Amanat a bit teary: I trust them bhai.
Advik: Hye Amy no tears. Just pray to Mumma’s Shankar ji he will make everything fine.
Amanat nods: Bhai I will go to Anya before she creates a havoc in my room.
Advik: And I am there if you want to share anything.
He says ensuringly.
Amanat nods and turns to leave but then looks back at Advik: Bhai you too come we will feel better.
Advik nods while Amanat leaves and Advik takes his belongings and keeps them in a bag. He walks out of his room when a voice stops him.

Om: Advik.
Advik turns to see his father and mother standing together with teary eyes he understood that they had heard his conversation with Amanat. Om walks to Advik and cupping his face kisses his forehead.
Om: Thank you.
Advik holds Om’s arm: Please papa don’t say that. Shall I tell you one thing.
Om nods.
Advik cupping Om’s face: Bade papa will be completely fine don’t worry he will be okay where ever he will be, all of us will pray to God, remember dadi ma always says that when kids pray God fulfils their wish sooner. He will come back to us soon.
Om nods and hugs Advik.
Advik: And don’t worry about Anya and Amy I will be with them.

Om nods and releases the hug and Advik leaves. Gauri places her hand on Om’s shoulder, while both share a meaningful look. Today their son acted so maturely he changed according to everyone but truth was he was always the same he chose to be silent once and he did a big mistake but now he is hell bend to improve his mistake and this time he knows things will be better from before not because he changed but because he can see his family changing being more happier then before and the changes make him glad and gives him alot of hope.
