Help/सहयोग URGENT: My 73-year-old Hajurbuwa has been missing since yesterday from Lalitpur Mahalaxmi-6, Siddhipur.
I’m posting this with a desperate hope that someone might have seen my Hajurbuwa or could help us find him. My Hajurbuwa is around 73 years old and is from Khadbari, Sankhuwasabha. He had come all the way from our village to our home to put Dashain tika on us. We had recently built a new house, and this was actually his first time visiting our new home.
Yesterday, on Nawami, we had a small family gathering at home. We all ate together, and afterward, everyone was occupied with different things. My Baba had gone to drop off one of my uncles, some of my other uncles were chatting at home, and my Mamu and kaki haru were serving tea and had stepped outside for a little walk. I was playing cards with my cousins.
At around 3 PM, my Hajurbuwa went outside for a walk. At the time, none of us thought anything unusual would happen.
Even though he is 73, my Hajurbuwa is incredibly sharp, alert, and active. He is used to walking around our village and can walk long distances. He has an excellent memory and remembers the routes he has taken. He has never gone missing like this, which is why none of us imagined something like this could happen.
When he still hadn't returned after around 4 PM, we started getting worried and searching for him. We tried calling his phone once or twice, but there was no answer. When we called a third time, his phone was switched off.
Since yesterday at around 4 PM, our entire family has been desperately searching for him, but we still haven't been able to contact him.
He does not drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, or consume any intoxicating substances. We have no idea what could have happened.
Today is Dashami. He came all this way just to give us tika, and today, all of us are sitting here with empty foreheads, waiting for him to come home. I cannot explain how painful it is to think that he travelled so far to bless us for Dashain, but now we don't even know where he is or whether he is safe.
