The mighty lady, missing daughter:

Her tears started to fall again. She began to sob softly while looking at the sky. Somehow, she tried to control her sobs and said in her broken voice, “Mom, I am going. Please take care of yourself.” Saying this, she broke down in tears completely.

Next morning;

The sky was clear and the sun rose again. The humidity of the summer returned again, as if nothing happened last night. All the maids and servants began their day.

In a villa, the sound of a car’s engine echoed. Though many servants and maids were working inside the villa, there was pin drop silence inside due to which the sound of the engine echoed.

No sooner did the car’s engine stop than the butler quickly got out from the villa to receive the Mistress of the house, ‘Ms. Malhotra’. The butler opened the door of the car, and a woman who seemed to be in her late 30s descended from the car. She was the ‘Ms. Malhotra’. Actually she was a successful business woman, the chairman of Malhotra conglomerate, she was 42 years old and has a daughter of 17 years old.

Ms. Maholtra was wearing a white business suit with the blazer hanging on her hand and open hair, carrying a small purse. The butler went forward to take those things. And without even speaking she started to walk towards the main door of the villa, followed by the butler and two of her subordinates. One of them was a lady who appeared to be of the same age as Ms. Malhotra and the other one was a boy who seemed to be in his 20s.

Ms. Malhotra and all of them entered the villa and all the maids as well as servants present in the dining hall bowed to her. Without giving any reply Ms. Malhotra ascended to the lift and left from there, to go back to her room. And the two subordinates waited for her sitting on the sofa. While the butler went ahead to busy himself for lunch.

After half an hour, Ms. Malhotra came to the dinning hall again but this time wearing a beautiful saree, Kanjeevaram saree to be precise. It was red in colour with a broad golden border. She was wearing a red bindi and tied her hair into a bun. The tight bun was hightling her facial features, making one admire her beauty. She had sharp cat eyes, a tall nose and thin but plumpy lips, her sharp eyebrows were making her look aggressive. She has high cheekbones and a sharp chin. Seeing her the subordinates stood up but she motioned to sit with her hand.

“Mr. Smith, where is Mahikaa? Call her.”, asked Ms. Malhotra. With hesitation, the butler replied, “Mistress, Miss is not here. She is in the skyscraper. You… have forgotten about it.”

Initially, after completing her own sentence, Ms. Malhotra took the file from her subordinate and started to read, but after hearing what the butler said she seemed to freeze in her spot.

“Umm… Call Mahikaa then. Tell her I asked her to come here and have lunch with me.”, said Ms. Malhotra, feeling a little uneasy. The butler replied positively and went ahead to call the Miss of the house.

A few minutes passed and Ms. Malhotra saw that the butler did not return to report to her. And it was very unusual of him. A few more minutes passed but still Butler did not return so, she thought of checking once to see what was going on.

Just as Ms. Malhotra got up to see what was wrong, the butler came running to her and said, “Mistress…” he was out of breath. “Mr. Smith take a deep breath and say what happen”, asked Ms. Malhotra. Breathing heavily, he still continued, “Mistress… Mi… miss… We cannot find Miss anywhere in the skyscraper.”

Hey! What do you think will happen next? Will they find Mahikaa or will they lose her forever?
