chapter 9

Vasudha and Jackie would always tell us over the phone that he too would call us to New York soon.Then gradually his phone calls stopped.And in the meantime, half of the leg of Vasudha's father was paralyzed. For this reason he had to leave the job. After that, we were making our living with the money Vasudha used to send.But for three months till now Vasudha has not even sent money nor did her call come. What do I do alone? I started worrying about Vasudha and then Balraj told me that maybe Falak should be of some help to us.After some time....Ramola : Falak daughter, it is 11:00 in the night.Now we must sleep.As soon as the falak stands up,the album falls from her hands and falls down. Then his eyes fall on the photo album. She sees that there was a boy with Vasudha.Falak points to the photo with her finger and says, "Is this boy Jackie?"Ramola: Yes, that's Jackie. We had made a mistake that we got our daughter married to this boy. I don't know what would have happened to my daughter in abroad? How would he have kept her ? We don't want money, we just want our daughter.Whatever you do, find out about my daughter. I join your hands, daughter. Vasudha told me that Jackie has no one. He is alone. His parents were killed in a car accident. He has his own house in New York. We only know the name of the place where they live. Marley No. 8, Road.Falak: You were telling that Jackie also used to work in the same company where Vasudha used to work.Ramola: Yes, Jackie used to work in the building next to where Vasudha used to work. Jackie had joined a new job.Falak: Then I can get that boy traced because all the companies are in my father's name. Don't you worry I will go to the police station tomorrow only. Now we must sleep.The next morning, at the breakfast table,Balraj : We both were about to call you daughter. Till then you have called yourself. I only hope from you. Bring my daughter Vasudha to India. She was crying on the phone that day. Bring my daughter. I join your hands.Falak: Hey uncle, what are you doing? If today Vasudha had not worked in my father's company, then all this might not have happened. Somewhere I am also responsible for this.Ramola: You have become a lawyer, have you not? Help us daughter.Falak: Yes, Auntie. I am with you Don't you worry I am going to the police station now. You tell me all the information and also give Jackie's photo along with it.Ramola gives all the information along with the photo to him. Falak touches the feet of Ramola and Balraj and leaves to go to the police station.After reaching Banaras Police Station,Falak : Hello! Inspector my name is Falak Singhania.Police: Hey! Are you Ashutosh Singhania's daughter? Who doesn't know you? Tell me what's the matter?Falak tells the whole thing to the police.Police: Oh so that's it...we will try our best to find that boy. I have to get complete information about all the workers of your company. Please give me your contact number.Falak: Take this my contact number and I will fly to New York by today's flight.Police: OK.After that, on her way to home, Falak tells her parents that she will fly to New York this evening by flight.Dipa: Daughter Falak, you are going abroad for the first time. How will you be alone there?Ashutosh: Look Dipa, I am proud of my daughter and I know my daughter will definitely succeed. After all she is an international lawyer. I am also worried about Vasudha now. She went to New York on behalf of our company.But I did not know that Vasudha will settle there after marrying the boy of that place and now suddenly I am hearing that for three months she does not know anything.Take this falak daughter, you go to this address and stay in the hotel there. The manager of that hotel knows me well.Falak's mother agrees to her daughter.Then suddenly Falak goes to her room and takes Vasudha's gold chain which was packed till now and puts it in her bag.She thinks to herself that how forgetful I have become. Now I will wear it only after going to New York.Falak takes blessings by touching the feet of her parents.Ashutosh: We will try to find out about that boy as soon as possible by the police.Falak: Okay, I'll go. After meeting Vasudha's parents, I will go to the airport. You stay wellFalak then goes to Vasudha's parents' house to meet them...
