Chapter 29 - Contact Him

Reva dials his number many times, and even calls the secretary again but gets no answer. She takes a deep breath and decided to give this matter some time. She tries to reflect on herself but found out that she do nothing wrong.

That day when the children come back, they found the house very quiet. Most of the time either there mau be talking with uncle, or either uncle is working in the leaving room, while mau is doing something.

But today they found mau sitting alone, and they can say their mau is sad. They try to know the reason behind it but they do not get the answer. The dinner is not so tasty. Basically, Reva can cook good food. But she improved a lot these days, but as the saying goes, the mood of cook affects the food. So sad Reva cooks sad food, ( not so delicious food). Children see that uncle doesn't return home and mau is not telling anything so they also eat quietly.

The next two days go like this, which makes Reva even sadder. She misses some little things about Mahendra, like after eating he always praises her. He knows that she is learning cooking so he always sincerely praise her cooking. He also some days tries to help her, which often resulted in more work for her though.

She has someone whom she can talk to sometimes, even though the talk is not much. She realized in just some days she gets addicted to him. She tries to make herself happy for the next two days, but can't get successful, she suddenly started to feel a little empty.

On the fifth day, while she is making breakfast absent-mindedly she gets a call from an unknown number. Reva takes the call and found that she knows the caller.

It is no one else but Arvind. He tells her that Mahendra is not in a good state, he is drinking daily and doesn't talk much with others, also he tells her that Mahendra is somewhat depressed. Arvind asks her if she knows the reason behind it, but Reva says she doesn't.

"I think you can do something about this. I try to ask him what is the thing which is making him restless, but he refuses to tell me. But I think he will listen to you. If he drinks like this, his body is gonna worsen. On top of that, he is not even eating much. Please please if possible help him" Arvind says this but doesn't hear anything. He feels quite helpless. he wanted to hang the phone but heard a sob.

"Hey, are you crying?" Arvind questions her.

"Where can I found him?" Reva questioned on which Arvind tells her location. After that Arvind tries to comfort the crying Reva. But can't get successful, anyway, he does his duty as a good friend.

Arvind actually lies with Reva, indeed Mahendra is drinking these days, but it is not much, and he is not talking that much, but he is not so sad as he describes, but still Arvind feels something is off with his friend. So he does the best he can do.

Here children get shocked seeing Reva crying. They run towards her and started to ask her questions, but Reva is in a daze. She can't help but remember her boss on the day of his death. He is also depressed but Reva at that time doesn't know how to comfort him. If only she doesn't leave him alone that day.... then might be things are not like this.

But this time she doesn't wanted to let anything happen with Mahendra. Reva who is still lingering between her memories suddenly gets a hug.

"Mau doesn't cry, please. Everything will get good in the future. so please don't cry" Reva heard Aditya talking with her. And she realized that children are talking with her.

"Yes, baby. I also hope that" Reva said while hugging him back.

"What happened mau?" Aditi finally get relaxed and decided to question mau, she can see her mau is sad for some days, and she wanted to know the reason, and if they can do anything then they will do it.

"That... I started to like Mahendra uncle, but he doesn't like me much, so he is running away from me"

"Why he doesn't like you, you are so beautiful mau" Aditya comfort her mau.

"hmm, that's why we need to bring him back, can you guys please help me with this" Reva requested.

"Yes mau" both children shouted. After lots of thinking Reva decided to directly attack Mahendra which means she will go to his office where he is hiding, and then directly bring him back home. She doesn't know how to fix his drinking habits and depression, but she knows one thing, that is she will not let him die so easily.

This time fate can't take her love away from her.

So Reva changes her clothes, and eats breakfast, she needs the energy to bring back Mahendra. She also tells children about that. Then she calls Arvind and requested him to help her. Arvind happily agreed. Reva needs his help to enter Mahendra's office. After that she takes a knife with her, if she needed to threaten him then she will. Her mission now to bring him back.

After that Reva calls in school and informs the teacher that the children will be not able to go to school today. Then they leave for office.

"my little angels do you understand our mission?" Reva questioned to children.

"Yes mau, to bring uncle home at any cost, if he refuse we will start crying" Aditi said.

"Yes, and if situation get out of control just say he is your father okay?,sorry I am telling you both to lie, but I really really wanted him back" Reva said with guilt.

"Mau aren't we see on TV, that bhagwan shri Krishn said , that lying for good reason is not a bad deed" Aditya comfort her. Reva feels too good to having these little partner in her life. After that they depart for their mission.

When Arvind sees children and Reva come out of the taxi, he gets surprised. The trio looking like they are on a mission. He really started to worry about his decision of meddling in Mahendra's life, but anyway milk is already spilled. Now he can only help Reva.

Here Mahendra who is sitting quietly in the office doesn't know that drama is coming towards him.
