Part 49
Vikram takes out his cell phone and calls the local civil records directory and asks for the name of Sindoora Pratap Singh.
"Yes, and also Mr. and Mrs. Sagar and Vidya Pratap Singh," He smiles at Sanvi. "Great, I'll come by to pick it up tonight? Thank-you," He flips his phone shut. "I'll get the files tonight, and spend all night checking it."
"Do you want some help?" Arav asks.
"Yeah, I do actually, I'm sure Tushar wouldn't mind if you spent one night over at our place," Vikram says.
"You guys can do it over at my place too you know?" Maya offers.
"I'd say yes," Vikram starts. "But then my little brother here would get a little too distracted,"
They all laugh while Maya glares.
"I don't distract him," She frowns.
"Of course you don't," Arav hugs her as she hugs him back.
Sanvi rolls her eyes as she snuggles closer to Vikram. "Do you think we'll find anything?"
Vikram nods into her hair. "We have to; there will be some news at least,"
Sanvi smiles encouragingly. "I just can't wait to know how long it's been and everything,"
Maya puts her hand over Sanvi's. "Don't worry, we'll find out soon enough,"
Later in the Evening
Vikram gets the files from the directory and goes over to Maya's to pick up Arav.
"Come on guys, open the damn door!" Vikram pounds his fist on the door for the third time.
Finally Maya pulls open the door. "You really need to get some patience!"
"What the hell were you two doing?" Vikram asks, stepping into the house. "Or do I not want to know? Maybe Arav shouldn't be living with you if you guys are having a relationship,"
Maya crosses her arms. "I was up on the terrace and so I thought Arav would open the door, turns out he's in the washroom, so seriously, you need to chill!"
"Oh," Vikram smiles nervously. "Well, I'm here to pick him up,"
Arav waltzes down the stairs. "Hey big brother,"
"Hello, took you long enough," Vikram says.
"I was packing my bag," Arav says sadly, then glances at Maya who looks away.
Vikram notices the eye contact, "Okay guys, I'm going to wait out in the car, Arav come down when you're ready,"
"Thanks bhai," Arav says as Vikram leaves.
Maya goes and stands by the door. "You really should go,"
"Are you saying you're not gonna miss me?" Arav asks.
"Arav, it's only for the day na?" Maya smiles slowly. "I think I can last that long,"
"What about me?" Arav pouts. "I can't last that long,"
"I promise I'll be over tomorrow morning if I can," Maya says, putting her arms around his neck.
"I might sneak here before that," Arav whispers in her ear.
"Vikram maar dalega! Now go!" Maya pushes him out the door. "Oh and Arav?"
He turns around and Maya blows him a kiss. He pretends to catch it and goes down to where Vikram's waiting.
"Hogaya?" Vikram asks.
Arav just silently nods.
"Good, we've got work to do," Vikram turns on the car and they head to the boy's hostel.
On the way Vikram gets a phone call. "Hello?"
"Hey," Sanvi says.
"Ah ha, to what do I owe this pleasure?" Vikram grins.
"Well I was kinda wondering if you guys found out anything?" Sanvi asks.
"Sanvi, aabhi to hum ghar ja rahe hain," Vikram laughs.
"But still, promise you'll call?" Sanvi asks.
"Course I will jaan," Vikram says before Arav grabs the phone out of his hand.
"Hi bhabhi," He smiles.
"Hi Arav." Sanvi says laughing.
"I promise I'll call you the minute we find out anything, even if bhai doesn't want to," Arav says.
"Aww Arav, you're a true sweetheart," Sanvi smiles.
"Woh to main janta hoon," Arav laughs.
"Aacha ab phone aapne bhai ko do," Sanvi says. "Please?"
"ji," arav smiles and hands the phone back to Vikram as he parks at the hostel.
"Bolo jaan?"
"Shut up Vicky! Aapne bhai ke saamne kuch to sharam karo!" Sanvi giggles.
"Besharmo ko sharam nahi aati," Vikram high-fives Arav, then signals for Arav to pick up all the records from the trunk.
Arav goes to the trunk and pops it open and reads the first file on top, with the birth and death records of Sagar and Vidya Pratap Singh, underneath though, there's the records for Sindoora Pratap Singh. "How's that possible? It says she died two days before them, but they remembered her being in the car with them?"
Short again, but I'm just trying to post some short and sweet parts! 😛 hope you all liked it! 😃 Next one will have more Sanvi-Vikram in it! 😃
Luv ya all loads,
Meera
