"Arnav baba...someone is here to meet you!" Hari Prakash informed Arnav who was sitting with the whole family at breakfast table.
"Who?" Arnav asked.
"A girl. She said that she is Advay bitwa's doctor," HP said.
"Kiara!" Akash exclaimed and Arnav stood up, "Bring her in!" He said and HP nodded and walked away.
After a while he came in with Kiara beside him.
The whole family watched a young lady in a beautiful white and maroon kurti walking in.
"Hello Mr. Raizada" Kiara greeted and shook hands with Arnav. And she folded hands to everybody there which all reciprocated.
Turning to Arnav, she said, "I'm here to talk about Advay"
Arnav nodded and said, "Come, we'll sit in the living room!"
She nodded and the whole family sat in the living room. HP gave a glass of juice to Kiara who accepted it with a smile.
She sipped her juice and asked, "Are you all from Madhya Pradesh?"
"No, we're from Lucknow!" Anjali said.
"Have you ever gone to Madhya Pradesh?" Kiara asked to which everyone nodded no.
"How is Advay related to Ratnanagari?" She asked.
"Ratnanagari?" Everyone asked confused.
Kiara looked at everyone and said, "Has Advay ever been there? Is he related to that place?"
Everyone nodded no and said, "We don't even know that place!"
Kiara sighed and narrated what happened in the morning.
"He was talking with me but the sudden mention of this place changed his behaviour. He is related to this place! He knows someone from there! Someone who is close to him! Does he have someone special in his life?" She asked.
Everyone looked at each other and hesitated to say.
"I'm his doctor and I can only treat him if I know everything about him!" Kiara said seeing their hesitance.
"Hanna" Khushi said slowly.
"Who is Hanna?" Kiara asked.
"His wife" Arnav said.
"How are you feeling?"
Advay was clutching his notebook in one hand and resting his head in other inside his cell when he heard her voice. He looked up and saw Kiara.
She came in and kneeled before him. "Hello mister, I'm talking to you..."
"Just go away..." He said angrily.
She chuckled and said, "Itna gussa! Chalo, we'll do something to get rid of your gussa!"
He looked at her. She smiled and said, "We'll go for a walk. Come!"
He looked at her surprised. "Walk?" He asked excited.
She smiled seeing his excitement and nodded. "Where?" He asked with glistening eyes.
"In the garden!" She said.
He nodded and jumped on his feet. "Let's go!" He said excitedly as he stepped out of the horrible cell, after one whole month!
"Come on...let's go..." he cried to Kiara. In his excitement to leave the cell, he didn't notice that he had left his notebook on the floor which she had noticed.
"So you love football?" Kiara asked as they sat on the garden bench.
"Yep! And basketball too! Dad and I used to play it every evening!" He said with a smile.
"Oh, Mr. Raizada is a good player?" Kiara asked to which he nodded and said, "Dad is the best! When I was in school, he used to teach me and my friends! And we won the basketball championship those days!"
"Wow!" She exclaimed, "And doesn't your uncle join?"
Advay laughed and said, "He do but soon go out due to his foul play. NK chachu will be the referee and the battle will be between me and dad! You know, he is the best dad! I love him so much!"
"And who wins in the game?" She asked.
"As always him!" He said smiling.
She chuckled and asked, "And what about your mamma? Doesn't she join you?"
Nodding no he said, "She don't know how to play. Dad had tried to teach her but she ended up messing with everything. And dad isn't much patient. He scolded her badly and she declared that she won't ever touch basketball in her life!"
Kiara chuckled and he said smiling, "They are such a cute couple!"
"And what about you mister?" Kiara asked suddenly.
"Me? What about me?" He asked confused.
"Do you have someone so that I can comment such a cute couple' for you?" She asked playfully but her eyes bored into him.
As she expected, his fingers clutched his pants tightly and his nerves started protruding out. She looked at him carefully and found his breathing irregular. His eyes were blood red and he was looked murderously at the tree in front of him.
"I know about Hanna!" She said slowly observing his expressions.
He shot looked at her and said in his angry voice, "He told you, isn't it?"
"He? Your dad? Yes, he told me!" She said.
"He...he is the reason...HE KILLED HER! HE IS THE READON FOR EVERYTHING...SHE DIED BECAUSE OF HIM! I HATE THAT MAN!!!!! I HATE ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA! I WANNA KILL HIM! HE WILL GO THROUGH EVERY PAIN MY HANNA WENT THROUGH! I'LL SOON KILL HIM..." Advay shouted hysterically.
The attenders came running and Kiara stopped them by showing her hand.
"Why do you want to kill him? He is your father! Whom you love the most!" Kiara said.
"NO...I DON'T LOVE HIM! I HATE HIM! I HATE HIM THE MOST! I'LL KILL HIM IN THE MOST PAINFUL WAY POSSIBLE! HE'LL CRY OUT LOUD AND NO ONE WILL SAVE HIM! HE'LL SCREAM FOR HELP AND NO ONE WILL HELP HIM...AND HE'LL DIE LONELY, SCARED...JUST LIKE MY HANNA!" He shouted.
"Advay..." Kiara began when he shouted,
"GO AWAY YOU...HE APPOINTED YOU RIGHT? SO THAT HE CAN KILL ME ALSO! YOU'RE HIS SERVANT RIGHT? YOU CAME HERE FROM RATNANAGARI FOR ARNAV SINGH RAIZADA! HE GAVE YOU MONEY FOR KILLING ME!!! GO AWAY...OR I KILL YOU!!!!!!!!" And he lifted a flower pot and threw it to Kiara's direction.
The pot crashed in front of her and she looked at him horrified and watched him falling unconscious. She signed the men who held him and took him to the ward.
"Any updates?" Arnav asked to Akash as he entered his study.
Sighing, Akash said slowly, "No bhai!"
"It's been a month Akash! What the hell are they doing? And they call themselves as police!" Arnav shouted.
"I don't know bhai! They said they are enquiring but no results yet!" Akash said.
"I need to find Hanna! It's the only way to bring back Advay!" Arnav whispered.
"Have faith bhai! We'll find her!" Akash assured him.
"Keep him in the ward for this night!" Kiara said to the attenders nodded and she walked out.
It was night and most of the patients were sleeping in the cell. She walked to his cell and opened it. Stepping inside it, she spotted the notebook.
She had noticed him scribbling something in it the first time she saw him. That was a day before, when Dr. Malhotra mentioned about him to her and took to his cell. She had stood far away and noticed his actions. Even today morning she noticed him sitting with the notebook on his hand.
She bent down and took the dirty notebook.
Rehabilitation Institute for Physiological Disorders (RIDP) was printed on it. "So this is hospital's notebook which the authority gives to every doctor! How come this is with Advay?" she asked to herself, "He must have taken it from Dr. Malhotra's cabin." She spotted a pen and nodded, "Yes, Dr. Malhotra's parker pen. He uses parker pens. So he took it from doctor's cabin!"
She took the notebook and walked out of the cell locking it.
She sat on her chair in the cabin and opened the first page of the notebook.
An ugly handwriting greeted her.
She sighed and concentrated hard to catch the words.
After two hours.
She closed the notebook and gasped.
When Dr. Malhotra mentioned about this 27 year old man, she had thought that this one would be done like other cases of her. She had become his friend just like she does in all her cases and was trying the same procedures.
But no!
This is more complex.
She drank a glass of water and looked at the notebook.
She bit her lips while the words in the notebook were again and again coming into her mind.
"I need to meet Raizada family!" She mumbled and looked at the time. 10.00 pm!
"Doesn't matter! I need to talk to them NOW!" She mumbled and stormed out of the building with her car keys and the notebook inside her bag.
