3 weeks later…..
Author POV
Their life was going smoothly. Everyday she wakes up practicing martial arts. Eat her breakfast. She looks at her planned board to go to University study.
She attends lectures and meets her friends. And when she came to University gate. There was always someone waiting for her. Everyday.
Akaay…
He waits for her. To pick her up from University. Every fucking day. They enjoy their dating life. Akaay loves to make her try new things. And waiting for her was his daily routine.
He always managed his time for her. He always arranged his meeting and business at times according to her schedule of the day. They talked on the phone every day.
But happy moments never last longer than sad moments. They were unaware of something . It was calm before the Tsunami.
When it will come. It will ruin everything. Every life will suffer. A tsunami was coming. For them. For her.

“Yaar meri behen kaha reh gayi abhi tak aayi kyu nahi” Maya says. While pouting.
It was her younger sister. Riya. We’ ve met before. She is so clingy and yapper. Not like Maya who has a savage mouth. I can't believe they are sisters by blood.
“Kitne baje aane wali thi” I asked her. While sipping my chai.
“2 baje” she says.
“Vo hamesa late hu aati he aane do fir batauga usko” Nihal says
“Kya batauge muh tod dugi tumhara agar usse hath bhi lagaya toh.” Maya says getting irritated by Nihal.
“Tum pagal ho kya. Vo tumhare tarah time ki punchual toh nai he. Par tum se achi he.” Nihal says while shrugging his shoulders.
“Tum pagal or tumahara sara Khandan pagal” Maya almost yelled.
“You..” Nihal started to fight again.
But it's 3 PM and she should be here by now. She comes late but not that much. And why? I'm feeling like this. Like something bad is going to happen.
“Guys stop listening to me” I yelled, making them look at me. And every other person in this cafe. They both stopped and nodded their heads.
“She never came this late. I think we should check” I say. And they nodded again. We stood up and came out.
_____________________________
“I called the pg but aunty said she went out at 1:30 pm and didn't return seens” Maya says, getting a little worried.
I tried to check her phone location but her phone was switched off. I saw her last location. So we are going there.
God. Please don't do this again. She is just 15. Please make believe you are there. Please make me believe you exist. Please.
My hands were a little shaky. I was worried about her. I took out my phone and saw his text. I took a long breath and saw it.
Mr. Akaay :- what is my Brownie doing right now?
Anantha:- kind of busy text you later.
I sent the text but before I could put my phone down. He called. I picked it up. He speaks. And my body almost relaxed a little but the anxiety wasn't gone.
On call
Akaay:- why are you breathing like this? What happened? Are you okay
Me:- it's just we couldn't find Riya.
Akaay:- send me the location of yours and a photo of her. I'll come and help you too
Me :- No no you don't have..
Akaay:- shhhhh do what I say okay. Let me help you.
And he waited for me to cut the call like always. And did what he says. I took some pictures from Maya's phone and sent it to him. And our location too.
We were in auto. And the auto stopped. We jerked a little.
“Yaha se aage rasta band he. Kaam chalu nahi jayega koi bhi gaadi.” The auto driver said.
We came out. But the location was showing us a closed road. The wind blew on my face. My hair hit my face. My body froze. Something is bad. Very bad. I can feel it in my blood.
A loud honk we heard. I turned and saw Akaay was coming out of the car. He came to me and stood near me. Gave Nihal a look. Nihal just turned his face. What is going on?
“Mili Riya” Akaay asked.
“Hamare sath nahi he vo.” Nihal says in an irritated manner. Why he always get rude with him.
“Mili Riya” Akaay repeats looking at Maya now. Completely ignoring Nihal.
“Nahi mili. Pata nai kaha he. I'm getting worried now” maya says worries can be seen on her face.
“Don't worry we will find her. Okay” Akaay says. He looked at me and raised his eyebrows.
“Her last location was on that road. No vehicle is allowed there.” I said giving him every detail. What he asked for her.
“Maya brownie let's go. Let's find her okay.” Akaay says calmly. Assuring us.
“Maya. Anantha. Or Nihal me bhi hu yaha. Dikha nai deta kya tumhe?” He says loudly. We turned to him.
“Dikh toh rha he par tum dekhne layaj tum ho nahi. Or vaise bhi kachara ignore krne ki meri purani adat he” Akaay says while shrugging his shoulders.
Nihal's face turned red. He was getting angry at him. But he started first and Akaay just finished like always.
Akaay always lights up the situation. Maya almost chuckles. But my mind was racing with thoughts. I wish I could say to Akaay. I wish I could say maya. That her sister is in danger. My gut feeling says that.
We all went ahead of the road. We searched everywhere near the road. It's 4: 15 now and it's still broad daylight.
I went near the bushes and found a phone. And my phone beeped. It hers.
“Yeh toh Riya ka phone he” Maya says with a voice.
No one is here. My worriness became real. I looked at Akaay. He was looking at him. There was something disturbing on his face. I can't read it. He ran to me.
“We will find her okay” he came to me. Whatever I was feeling he saw it. He was assuring me.
I looked at him. And he understood. He nodded his head. And started looking everywhere screaming her name. He was worried.
He was sweating. He had seen something like me. His expression says it. He was more worried than Maya.
Then we heard a noise. We went there. And we saw her.
Riya
She was coming toward us. Smiling. Thank God. Thank you so much for keeping her safe.

Why do good people always suffer? What was their fault? They always gave kindness to people and what they got in return.
God. You proved me wrong again. I had faith in you. But you proved that you don't exist.
I had lost sight of my purpose. God, you help evil. And from now on I promise I will help the good people.
As I looked at the clue board all the culprits pictures. Their smiling faces make me puke.
Karma doesn't exist in the real world. We have to become one.
And going to become a fucking for you.
She took her knife and went out of her house.
From today the revenge begins.
