Raghvi SS: Lost Battle
PART 1
"Raghav, what's going on in your mind. Why did you bring Esha here?". Pallavi entered Raghav's den with a cup of coffee. Raghav who was busy on the laptop responded "I am busy Pallavi. Let's talk later" and dismissed her with a wave of his hand.

Pallavi was passing the guestroom when she heard Esha's voice. "No. I was staying at a hotel in Warangal". Her next words stopped Pallavi in her tracks. "Yeah. Me and Raghu stayed together". She was trying hard to comprehend this news when she noticed Sunny approaching her. She quietly asked him to follow her and took him to their usual spot, the kitchen.
Sunny eyed her suspiciously seeing her soft version and inquired "What's this new drama of yours Pallavi?". "I am not here for any drama Sunny. I need your help" Pallavi answered directly. Sunny who was still uncertain mockingly asked "Mrs Pallavi Raghav Rao needs a help from me, her so-called enemy" pointing himself. "Yes I do. Can you help me?" Pallavi replied sternly. Sunny placed himself on the kitchen counter and in his usual playful tone demanded "What will be my catch in this?". Pallavi thought for a moment and replied nonchalantly "You will have my promise that you will be treated as SIL of this house as long as you stay here" and held out her hands. "Are you in?". Sunny let out a small laugh and replied "How can I let go of such a tempting offer" and shook her hand. "I am all yours Bhabhi, now tell me what you want". Pallavi looked around to make sure they were alone and muttered "Can you get me the visitor's list of hotel Raghav stayed". Sunny took out his phone and announced " Luckily, I am always a step ahead of you Bhabhi".

Raghav returned to his room at half-past 12 after wrapping up his work and was shocked to see an empty bed. He went to the washroom and knocked on the door. When he didn't get any response he opened the door only to see it vacant. An alarmed Raghav started to check Pallavi's wardrobe and drawers to make sure her things are still there. He let out a sigh of relief finding it untouched. He went to the hall to find the whole house asleep. He walked to the kitchen and become terrified finding it unoccupied. He went to the terrace and garden to search for her but ended up disappointed. As he couldn't call and inquire anyone else as it was past bedtime, he walked back to his room and started to dial Pallavi's number frantically only to find it switched off.
After the umpteenth failed tries, he noticed the ring he gifted her shining on the side table. It rekindled the fear of losing her and the guilt of cheating her in his heart, the next thing he knows is getting a panic attack. After a few minutes, he started to try to control his breathing by focusing his sight on their wedding portrait hanging on the wall. Once his panic attack subdued he slowly dozed off to sleep out of exhaustion.
TBC.
