Synopsis: What will you do if you are left unwanted by someone you dearly love? It feels like being in a deserted island, which was once your beautiful abode, now covered with carnivorous hedges pricking and luring.

His deep pain makes him take a masochistic step which results in deep guilt and fear. In his

Hello, Shruti.

Saurabh here.

Sorry to wake you up.

Actually, Roshni has not returned since evening.

Yes, I did but her phone's switched off

I thought she must be with you.

No?

You don't know anything?

She doesn't go anywhere like this without informing me.

Where has she gone?

If she doesn't return, shall I call the police?

I'll see what to do.

Police Emergency room!

Emergency?

What's the problem?

Actually, my wife Roshni

she didn't come home last night and

I don't know where she is.

So I just want to check with the police if

there was any accident or something?

When did you see her last?

She left yesterday morning from home

but didn't return in the evening.

Usually what time she comes back home?

Around 6 PM.

Have you tried calling her phone?

It's unreachable.

Maybe she's with any of her friends?

She has only one friend.

I called her, but she isn't there.

She might be somewhere else.

Wait for some more time.

And if she doesn't return, we'll take some action.

Where can she go?

She was supposed to come home.

Fine, give me your address.

I'll send over an officer.

Everything can not be explained!

I'm fed up with you.

I am sick and tired of you

and in any case you don't understand anything.

I am just mad.

I am just crazy, right?

I talk utter rubbish!

I am stuck with you.

You don't know anything about me.

Hello!

Was it you who made the call?

Yes, I was the one who called.

Please come in.

So your wife hasn't returned home?

Yes. - When was the last time you saw her?

When she left for work in the morning.

What time does she normally come home?

Does she have a car? - Yes.

Which one?

She has a grey Swift.

A woman driver had a car accident.

At around 6 PM.

The car was run-over by a truck.

The woman died on the spot.

But she wasn't your wife.

Because she was wearing a saree, not a kurta.

You really scared me there.

By the way, is there some place she can possibly go?

She has a friend

but I've already called her. She isn't there.

Look, we can't help you much right now.

Because according to the law

we can't file a Missing Person's Complaint

until 72 hours hasn't passed.

Give me her car's registration number.
