Hey my lovely readers.

How are you all?

Are you all enjoying the book so far?

I know, I know many of you are very disappointed with the way story is progressing but the this is how life is right? There's no gain without pain.

Also, I got to know something really very encouraging that many of my readers feel connected to my book-be it the story or the protagonists or the scenes. I also got new followers on insta as well as on wattpad. It feels so exciting as an author that you all are really appreciating my writing skills.

Finally I feel like my inner desire of being a good writer will be fulfilled one day. 

Also, I've seen few of my readers commenting on other books but not on mine. I don't have grudge against anyone after all it's your choice to continue reading this book or not but I just want to know, isn't my story worth commenting and reading when I can see them commenting on other books?

I know my book is very different from other popular genres and books on wattpad and it might not get recognized but the least I expect is feedback from you all which I don't get much.

I sometimes feel like my old readers have stopped reading and commenting on my book and I miss them. May be this book isn't meeting their expectations.

Anyways, coming back to this chapter, like previous ones, even this chapter will have flashback. All the flashback part is in italics. Though there aren't much scenes from flashback.

Let's begin with the chapter now.

Akash's POV

It was almost time for them to come out of the office.

I was patiently waiting for them to come out of the company because I could only see her, from far.

That's why I am here, to see her from distance and try to calm my heart because I don't have the right to meet her. I lost all my rights on her.

With a heavy heart, I was waiting for her. I had an intimation that she would come out any minute, probably with her husband.

She probably would've changed a lot, in appearance.

One and a half year is a lot of time for someone to change, physically.

Would she've become fat or is she still the same, skinny?

I saw many of the employees making exit and after around ten minutes, I saw Amit exiting the gate as well.

My heart was thumping in my chest like it was on race.

The anticipation to see her after a long time was making me restless.

But then I waited for a long time but she didn't come and I saw him proceeding towards his car, alone.

Could she've left the company? Is she working in a different company now?

Should I follow him or let it be?

I was contemplating whether to follow him or not when he just passed from beside me and was talking on the phone when I heard him saying "yeah baby, I am just on my way. I know my baby is eager to meet me and I am dying to feel his kicks through your belly. Yeah just two months more baby, then we'll take our baby in our arms."

He probably didn't notice me but his words were enough to knock the wind out of me.

'We'll have a boy first and then a girl' her words were ringing in my ear.

'We'll get our boy married to Mohit and Samaira's di daughter and our girl married to Sid and Kriti's son.'

That's what she had said to me.

"My Siya is pregnant" I whispered and tears made it's way to my cheeks.

"I was supposed to take her virginity but this bastard here was my Siya's first" was the next thought and I felt like screaming.

I always had a fantasy to see her when she would be pregnant with my child, to see her face glow like a moonlight, to kiss and talk to her protruding belly, to fulfil all her midnight cravings.

I couldn't take this anymore but the urge to see her even though she's pregnant with her husband's child was so much that I couldn't take my steps away from her.

I saw his car roaring off, probably to his house.

I followed him and when I saw him approaching to his flat, I very stealthily followed him.

My heart was thudding in my chest, how would she look all heavily pregnant?

I was feeling like a stalker but I didn't care, I just want to see my Siya, for once.

As Amit entered in the apartment, I followed him to his flat.

As soon as he rang the doorbell, my heartbeat raced and I saw a feminine figure opening the door.

My breathing hitched at the sight but she looked quite...different.

I wasn't able to see her face properly as Amit's large build was covering her small frame from the back but I saw him kissing her forehead as soon as she opened the door and then she turned around, probably keeping her hand on her bump, still in his arms.

He had his hands wrapped around her shoulder and then turning back, he closed the door.

The little glimpse that I got of her...she seemed very...different.

I know pregnancy changes the body physically but the little glimpse that I got showed that she had changed, a lot.

I slid down on the wall that I was leaning on to get a glimpse of her and landed on the floor.

The child could've been mine, if only her parents would've agreed to our alliance.

I don't know when tears welled up in my eyes and I was furiously wiping them away.

I don't know how long I was staring at the wall in front of me, aimlessly.

"I wish, we would've been from the same caste" I whispered and closed my eyes.

Tears of pain were freely coming out of my eyes and I didn't care to wipe them now.

I was about to make my way out of the apartment when I heard their door opening again and I saw Amit coming out of it.

"Yeah yeah, I'll get you your favorite ice-cream" he said and was about to close the door when I saw her appearing on the doorway and the sight just made me breathless.

She...she wasn't my Siya.

She was someone else but I just got a glimpse of her belly bump when she closed the door.

That means...the girl I saw earlier wasn't Siya, it was her.

My happiness knew no bound as I came to know that my Siya isn't pregnant but then...if she's not here and this girl is pregnant, then where's she?

Is Amit cheating on her?

No...this can't be.

When she closed the door and Amit walked off, I went to their flat and saw a name plate.

'Mr. and Mrs. Amit Verma' the name plate read.

Only Amit's name was mentioned on it, no other name was mentioned.

My hands were trembling when I touched the name plate.

I immediately fished my mobile phone out of my pocket and dialed the only person who could help me out right now.

"Yes" came her groggy voice.

"Maya, it's me" I said.

"Uhhhh Akash. Why did you call me so early in the morning. Do you and Sid even realize how important is beauty sleep for me? I didn't even sleep well yesterday night. I know it's evening in India but it's early morning in the US. Don't call me for...three hours" she said in a groggy voice.

"Maya, to heck with your beauty sleep. Wake up it's urgent" I shouted on the call.

"Ugghhh" she groaned and said "can't it wait for three hours, I promise I'll call you once I reach office."

"No, it can't. It's related to Siya" I said.

"What?" she screamed and I then heard a shuffling voice from the other end.

"Is she fine? I mean did you see her?" she asked after few seconds.

"No, I didn't see her yet but I want you to find out if she's still working in QLC tech or not" I said.

"Akash, that's illegal. I don't work for that company anymore. I can't do it" she said.

"Oh come on Maya, I am sure you must have made enough contacts when you were working in it. It's just a small information I want you to find it. It's really urgent Maya, please" I begged on the phone.

"Akash...you're scaring me now. Tell me what's the matter and are you fine?" she asked worriedly.

"I'll tell you everything Maya but please, find the information first and let me know as soon as you come to know anything about it and also about Amit and his...marital status as well" I said.

"Okay" she said and disconnected the call.

I am glad she didn't ask me anything much because I wasn't in a state to answer anything.

I didn't know what to do meanwhile so I went to my hotel room.

After having dinner, I was patiently waiting for Maya's call.

Around midnight she called me and I immediately picked it up.

"Yes" I said.

"Ummm...well who do you want to know about first, Amit or Siya?" she asked me without beating around the bush.

"Siya" I said in an instant.

"Well...Siya is on a sabbatical leave for around a year" she said.

"Sabbatical leave? Not on maternity leave?" I asked.

"What? No. The records say that she's on sabbatical leave and she was never on maternity leave" she said.

Siya was on sabbatical leave? For a year?

"Also, there's something else that you should know about her" she said.

"What?" I asked.

"Though her information was updated about a year ago on the portal before she went on a sabbatical leave, her marital status is showing as..unmarried" she said.

"What're you talking about?" I said.

"Yeah, moreover her marriage was fixed more than a year ago with Amit. If my calculation is correct then I think she took sabbatical leave after Amit and Siya were supposed to get married" she said.

I gulped at the new found information.

"What about Amit?" I asked.

"He's been transferred to a different project, not the one you handed him over and there's something else you need to know" she said, slowly.

"What?" I asked.

"He's married according to the search engine portal but her wife isn't showing as...Siya. Her name is Sandhya" she said and my eyes widened.

"What?" I shouted on the phone.

"Yeah. That's what the record says and it can't be false because you already know these information is filled by the employee himself, so they won't lie as I am sure he must've uploaded marriage certificate as well with his wife's information" she said.

I sat with a thud on the floor.

"Ca...can you find out where Siya is? I mean is there any information related to her current address?" I asked.

"No Akash. That's the only information I got to know as of now" she said.

"Okay Maya, thank you" I said and disconnected the call.

If Amit's wife is showing as Sandhya that means, it's a possibility that he didn't marry Siya but then, why did she go on a sabbatical, without any trace of where she is?

How do I find out where she is?

As far as I remember, the bodyguards I appointed for Siya didn't inform me of anything mishappening, even on the day of her marriage. I am sure they wouldn't lie to me.

Then what actually happened?

My happiness knew no bound as I figured out that my baby isn't married but what if she got married to someone else, even if she isn't married to Amit?

Whatever it is, I need to find out where she is, and fast. It doesn't matter whether she's married or not. I just want to see her, once, for my heart's satisfaction and then, I'll be at peace.

I immediately called the bodyguard that I had appointed for Siya.

"Sir" came his groggy reply.

"Mark, I want to meet you, right now" I said.

"Sure sir, where're you?" he asked and I gave him the address of my hotel.

Once inside the room, he sat on the bed while I was sitting beside him.

"Mark, you used to guard Siya, right?" I asked and he nodded.

"Did you notice anything gloomy when you followed to keep an eye on her?" I asked.

"Yes, she used to remain distant and gloomy when her marriage was...fixed" he said, sadly.

"Did you notice anything unusual happening around her?" I asked and he shook his head.

"No sir, I didn't notice anything unusual, apart from her gloomy face. In fact I secretly attended all her wedding functions, just to keep an eye on her" he said.

"Until the day you asked us to back out, that was her wedding day" he added.

"I still remember, I saw her approaching the altar for wedding and that was the time I went from the venue, as per the instructions you gave us" he said.

"That means something happened when she went to the altar" I mumbled.

"Is there something wrong, Sir" he asked.

"Mark, can you try to trace her number?" I asked.

"Sure sir but is everything alright?" he asked, his voice full of concern.

"I don't know, that's what I am trying to figure out" I said.

He immediately called someone to trace her number.

After around half an hour, he came back.

"Sir, the number doesn't exist anymore. Probably the sim is destroyed" he said.

"What was the last location of the number and when was the sim destroyed?" I asked.

"Her apartment which she had rented and the sim was destroyed about a year ago " he said.

She could be in her rented house but why do I feel that her chances of being there are very slim?

I immediately called the guard of our previous apartment and he informed me that she had left the apartment around a year back and now someone else was residing in it.

Who could've know where she is? All her friends had already cut ties with her.

I was restless now, how and where is she?

Think of someone she might have contacted...think Akash...think Akash...think.

Samaira.

May be she talked to her? Siya used to consider her as elder sister but...had Siya talked to her and anything wrong would've happened, she would've definitely told me.

I can't take any risk when it comes to her.

Even if it was lost cause, I was ready to go to any lengths to find out if she's fine or not.

I dialed Samaira's number, immediately.

Pick up, pick up, pick up.

"Samaira" I breathed once she received the call.

"Uggghhh...Akash. I know you're in US and it's daytime there but you should know that it's night here. Can we talk tomorrow please?" she said in a groggy voice.

"Samaira, it's important. It's related to Siya" I said.

"What happened to her?" she asked.

"I...I don't know. I think she...she isn't married to Amit and she's on sabbatical leave for around a year. Her phone number isn't working and I am unable to trace her. Please tell me if she ever talked to to you or contacted you before?" I asked in a breath.

"No Akash. After her marriage got fixed, she didn't talk to me. I tried to contact her but she would never pick up my or Mohit's call. When I asked her why, she said that she didn't want to face us and then we stopped calling her altogether, right before her wedding, thinking she would be able to move on with her husband. Believe me if I would've known that anything has happened to her, I would've definitely informed you" she said.

"I...I don't know where she is. I am scared Samaira. It's like she's gone without a trace as if she never existed" I said, my voice shaking by now.

"What if...what if something bad has happened to her?" I asked, my voice hoarse by now and I was about to cry.

"No, Akash. Please be strong. I know Kriti cut all her ties with Siya and she didn't have any friend apart from her. Do you know anyone she could contact or be in touch with" she asked.

"I...I don't know. I can't think of anybody" I said, closing my eyes.

"Her parents. What about them?" she asked.

"I don't have their number, neither their address" I said.

"But you do know where her mother works right? The school she was a principal of" she said.

"Yeah. I'll find out about it" I said 

"Please be strong Akash. Don't think anything negative" she said.

"I'll try, Samaira. Thank you" I said and disconnected the call.

I didn't want to see her parents but I guess I've no choice now.

"Mark, find out her mother's location" I said and he nodded.

I just hope, wherever she is, she's alright.

He came about half an hour later and gave me her address.

"We'll leave tomorrow" I said and he nodded.

The next day, I booked flight to her hometown and immediately made my way to her house.

I was in the car, waiting for someone to come out or go in the house.

I saw her father coming to the gate to drop Siya's mother and after that, he went inside.

I gulped looking at him.

Our last encounter didn't go well and I didn't want to face them again but for Siya, I could do anything, even if that meant to swallow my pride and ego.

"Mark, you stay here. I'll call you if needed" I said and he nodded.

Coming out of the car, I made my way to their house and rang the doorbell.

I could hear shuffling and footsteps from the other end, indicating that someone was coming to open the door.

"Yes" her father opened the door and said and as soon as he saw me, his eyes widened.

"You" he whispered.

"Yes. Look I just want to talk to you, I promise I won't create any scene. Please" I begged.

He nodded and stepped out of the way to give me space to enter.

As soon as we entered, he sat on the couch and gestured for me to sit beside him.

"How are you?" he asked, not meeting my gaze.

"I am fine" I said.

There was an awkward silence for a few minutes before he said "can you give me fifteen minutes? I've an urgent work."

"Yeah sure" I said.

He nodded and disappeared.

I waited for around half an hour but even then when he didn't come back, I decided to follow him in the room where he had disappeared half an hour before.

Though it isn't good to enter someone's room without knocking, I entered the room without knocking on the door but the sight in front of me was enough to knock the air out of my lungs.
