Virat picked up the backpack with hopes written all over his face . It was a Mickey mouse backpack . He immediately erupted in joy upon seeing it . He hugged the backpack . He knew for sure who it belonged to .
He gushed while simultaneously stuttering, "S-Sir this backpack?"
The officer who was calmly observing him explained . "These are all the various stuffs gathered from this district . We've kept it here so that people like you can check if anything here belongs to them . "
Virat's memories went to the day before Maya left; the same day on which he had gifted this backpack to her . They were sitting in their college campus in their usual spot at the cafeteria after class . They had ordered coffee .
Maya said, "Virat I'm leaving tomorrow . "
"Ah! Finally I can live in peace at least until you come back . We hardly have two months left before we graduate . After which we'll get married and leave to London for our job . This is the only 'me-time' I've for me before I get knotted with you forever . " Virat was teasing her .
She too teasingly snapped back, "Oh if that is the case, I'll never come back . I'll fall in love with some handsome guy there . I heard X city's men are very handsome . I'll marry someone there and live happily with him . Please don't think so high of yourself . I don't need you to accompany me . "
Virat retorted, "Hey what if I'm not accompanying you? I'm sending someone on my behalf . He's going to take care of you and also report me back everything you did there . " He lightly smacked her forehead lovingly .
Ta - da!
"Here . " Virat held out the Mickey mouse backpack to her .
Overjoyed Maya was literally jumping in her seat like a kid . "Virat, we had seen this last week when we went shopping right . How did you know that I liked it? Virat thank you so much! I'm so happy!" She hugged it to her chest .
Seeing her this happy, his heart melted . "Come back soon . I'll miss you Maya . I'll keep waiting for you until you come back . "
"It's just a one week trip Virat . I'll come back to you as soon as it's over . I love you"
Little did I know this Maya, I myself would've come with you instead . This is the last time . Once you are back, I'll never ever let you go away from me even for a second . The past few days have been hell for me . Now that I've found this backpack, I feel even you must be somewhere here .
"Virat? Virat? What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?" The officers voice pulled back Virat to reality .
He replied back with voice full of hopes, "Sir didn't I say that she's alive? Here sir . This is her backpack . This indicates that she must be somewhere here . This is enough to show that she was here sir . "
The officer said, "Hmm, you can open the bag and check . "
Virat followed him and unzipped the bag . Since it was a waterproof bag, the contents of the bag were intact . It had Maya's Identification proof documents, two pairs of clothes, her essentials and wallet .
Virat now confirmed . "Yes sir . This is indeed the bag I had gifted her and the stuffs here too belong to her . " He zipped back the bag and hugged it close to his chest just the way she had hugged it when he gifted it to her . Somehow that was comforting him .
