POV: Arnav
Hours had passed and all my efforts had been in vain. I was just circling the city in my car and I had no clue where she might be. I had looked at every place I could possibly think of, and I had nothing in my mind now. I’d been in touch with Akansha and my phone again rang again.
“Akansha, any news?” My voice filled with a tiny little spark of hope.
“No Jeeju,” she said sadly, “nothing. Did you check café Downing Street?”
“Yes, she wasn’t there. I asked for her everywhere.”
We were both playing on assumptions of this unpredictable girl.
“Did you look at any of the streets she likes to walk or anything?”
“Yes,” I conceded. My hands ruffled my hair, “I did, I looked everywhere. Not a single person has seen her.”
“Oh God, what will we do now?” I could hear the fear for her friend in every syllable.
