Raj Saxena walked through the dark, lonely halls of the
Raichand mansion in Mumbai. He hadn't been able to sleep again, so he decided
to take a walk. No matter what he did, though, he couldn't stop thinking about
Misha lately. No one knew how hard it was for him, not to have his soulmate
with him. The others were always happy, too busy to care about poor abandoned
Raj. Tomorrow, tomorrow, Abhay kept saying, but tomorrow never came. He missed
everything about her, her dark wavy hair, the way her eyes reflected the light
when she cried, the way she pretended to be angry before bursting out laughing,
the way his name sounded coming off her lips..
Stop thinking about her. You'll only bring yourself more
pain!
He stopped, facing right. He reached an outside balcony. He
stared at the sky, the moon looked beautiful. ''Even when we're apart, we'll be
looking at the same sky.'' He muttered to himself. ''I miss you, Misha
Dobriyal.''
He froze, hearing something from the balcony a floor below
him. He crouched and jumped, landing in front of the wide-eyed girl. ''Did I
scare you?''
''No, I like my heart beating twice it's normal pace,
jerk.'' She said, clutching her chest. She blinked and stood up. ''Why ain't
you sleeping? You got a big day tomorrow. Saxena has called you and that means
trouble.''
''He is my ancestor, I can take care of him.'' Raj shrugged.
''Why are you up? Can't relax?''
''Not really.'' She admitted. ''I want Abhay to come back. I
have got a bad feeling about it.''
They stood for a moment in silence. Only recently had they
come to understand each other, Abhay had been gone a lot and Raj being Maya's
ancestor hadn't helped.
''Yeah, it's hard to be without your soulmate once you've
found them.''
She stared at him, the way he said that..''You know, I
always wondered why you joined Unity. I mean, Mayank, Abhay, Rhea ' everyone has
human soulmates.''
''And you want to know where mine is?''
''N-no..'' Maybe she's dead, she told herself. She shouldn't
ask.
''It's okay.'' Raj stared at the sky again. ''She is
waiting- I hope. I have got some things to put right before I see her.''
''I am sure she is waiting.'' She said. ''And I bet she will
be glad to see you when you have put things right.''
He looked at her and smiled. ''That's true, you have been in
her shoes, haven't you? Abhay has tried a lot to make up for his past. I mean,
he has been doing good work for centuries. So, maybe there's hope for me after
all. You are like her, you know?''
''Am I?''
''Like my-like Misha, Misha Dobriyal.''
Misha..Recognition flashed through her. She knew Misha. Raj
was the soulmate Rhea had been telling her about. Before she could say anything
to that, he closed his eyes and went on. ''Why do you think Saxena called me?''
''Honestly.'' She paused. ''I don't know. Are you scared?''
''I'm not, for me, anyway.''
''You're worried about her.'' She smiled faintly.
''It's hard not to be with all that's going on.'' He paused.
''I mean, if Saxena knows that they know about the supernatural world-''
''She will be fine.'' She interrupted quickly. ''You will
see her soon, I promise you, soon.''
''I hope. Good night, Pia.''
''Good night, Raj, and get some sleep.''

Pia woke up in the morning and Abhay was still not back. People
would think that dating a vampire and living in a mansion would have it's
benefits, but turns out, there are more disadvantages. These 6 months with the people from Circle Unity had
been amazing, she'd never thought such things will happen to a regular girl
like her. But, she was alone. The mansion was quiet. Everyone was out, spending
time with their one true love. She could have talked to Raj, but he left early
in the morning. Every now and then she'd hear the creak of the door and watch
Abhay walk in, but then she'd wake up from the dream.
She stared at the fire, cuddled up on the couch in her white
sweater and pink pyjamas. Her hair were a mess with strands poking out here and
there of her pony tail. She took a sip out of her warm hot chocolate. Outside,
she saw everything blanketed in soft sparkling snow. Everything was
beautiful..and Abhay wasn't here.
When he left, he had told her he wouldn't be back before
Christmas. In fact, she heard those words for every special occasion, but she understood.
She knew how hard his job was, she knew what kind of things he had to go
through just to be with her. But, Christmas was two days away and she wanted
him. She knew she was behaving selfish, she could feel the tears burning in her
eyes. She wiped them off using her sweater.
Ring ring..
She picked up her phone and saw Alisha's name. ''Hello?''
''Pia, quick, answer this riddle. Inside these drawers with
loads of movies, inside these drawers, Raj opens frequently. Inside these
drawers you shall find your first clue, hurry up before you're blue. Gotta go,
bye!''
''Wait! What the-''
She looked down at her screen to see that the call had
ended. She stared at her phone for a moment and tried to call Alisha again. She
was sent straight to voice mail. She sat back on the couch and grabbed her hot
chocolate.
Her phone vibrated loudly. She picked it up to see a text
from Alisha. ''Just figure out the riddle. Now, Pia!''
She sighed. Inside these drawers with loads of movies. Inside
these drawers, Raj opens frequently..
There wasn't any drawers with movies in the house, there
could be shows, and the shows that Raj watches the most were Disney! She decided
to look in his secret stash of Disney Channel shows. She got up from the couch.
His room was on the 5th floor. She made a mental note to tell Abhay
to get a freaking elevator in the house. When she found his room, she kept her
hands on the door knob and twisted it.
She peeked inside. Knowing Raj, she was sure there would be
traps or a hidden ninja in here. She looked around the room and turned on the
lights. Dodging a few boxes here and there, she came to his side table. There were
three drawers, and she knew which one had the DVDs because of the noticeable keylock.
She knelt down, and saw the password hint. ''Misha's age.'' She smiled. He really
did miss her.
She pulled open the drawer and laughed. From Wizards Of
Waverly Place to Suite Life On Deck ' it had everything. She knew he liked
Disney, but she never knew he was obsessed with it. She dug through the DVDs,
trying to find her clue. On a DVD of Hannah Montana, her name was written. She grabbed
the DVD, and opened it. There was another disk in the DVD, called Pia Jaiswal,
December, 2011.
