He smiled slightly to Daya and said "Nahi Daya baat kuch bhi hai."
Daya - "Kya?"(demandingly)
Abhijeet - "Wohh no."
Daya – "Kaun sa."
Abhijeet - "Jis par Viren ne Mumbai mein call kiya aur jahan se call aya."
Daya – "Kya hua us no. ko?"
Abhijeet- "Wohh no. mere ghar ke aas pass ka hai. Shayad market ke P.C.O Ka."

Daya too gets tensed!

In Mumbai,

ACP was in the forensic lab with Freddie,Vivek, Dr. Saluke and Dr. Tarika. They were viewing the CC camera recording obtained from the exhibition hall.

Freddie – "Itne ghanto se dekh rahe hain…kuch bhi toh nahi hai ismein."

ACP – "Nahi Freddie, ismein zaroor kuch milega."

Suddenly,

Tarika – "sir rokiye"

Saluke – "kya hua Tarika?"

ACP paused the video and everyone looked at Tarika.

Tarika – "sir dekhiye, wohh bilkul corner par 2 guards hain. Unmein se ek lagatar kisi se baat kar raha ha…par kisse yeh nahi dikh raha"

Vivek – "haan sir. Us aadmi ka chehra frame se bahar hai, zaroor who gate ke bilkul bahar hoga jahan se wohh sab kuch dekh sake par camera usse na dekh paaye."

ACP – "doosre camere ki recording lagao"

Like this, they see recording from all 7 cameras but the man's face couldn't be seen. Most they got to see was his left hand. They captured its pic and then started seeing the recoding for the 3^rd day…it was all fine but then Freddie shouted –

Freddie – "sir"

ACP – "kya hua Freddie?"

Freddie – "sir bijli nahi chamki"

ACP – "kya keh rahe ho?" (angrily)

Freddie – "sir who bijli"

ACP - "Vivek recording roko aur Freddie theek se bolo jo kehna chah rahe ho."

Freddie – "sir aapko yaad hai jab humne pehle 2 dino ki recording dekhi toh theek 9:15 pm ko waha ek second le liye light chamki thi…wohh nahi chamki abhi"

ACP rewinded the recording and checked that…when he too saw the same,

ACP – "vivek, frame by frame play karo"

They saw the recording frame by frame from 9:14 pm onwards and when they reached 9:15pm, indeed there were 10 frames missing.

ACP – "bahut ache Freddie…saaloin mein pehli baar tumhara dimaag chala hai."

Freddie – "sir main apna dimaag kam use karta hoon…jab poora karunga tab dekhna"

ACP stares at him and he sits quiet again.

ACP – "10 frames…lagbhag 2 seconds…itne mein toh koi bhi aaram se camere mein false image laga sakta hai."

Dr. Saluke – "tumhara matlab hai ke in 2 seconds mein kisi ne camere ke aage false image laga di isiliye 9:15 ki laser scanning nahi aayi?"

Vivek – "haan sir…yeh toh aasan hai…9 baje exhibition hall poora khali hota hai toh chor ne pichle 2 dino mein image kheech lee hogi"

ACP – "haan Vivek…iska matlab hai iss insaan ka recording room mein bhi jhol-jhaal tha"

Tarika – "par sir jab sab logoin ko bahar kar diya jaata hai toh sirf ek insaan adhar kaise reh gaya?"

ACP – "haan…yehi toh pata karna hai…aajkal mujrim bade tez ho gaye hain par unko ye nahi pata ki hum yahan pathar nahi todte…Vivek aur Freddie..tum dono saare cameroin ki recordings dekho. Zaroor kisi aur mein bhi yeh frames gayab honge…aur phir exhibition mein aaye ek ek aadmi ko dekh…jab tak wohh bahar nahi nikalta exhibition hall se."

The Next Day in Pune,

Vaibhav and Sheetal had done a lot of work the previous day and met many informers and one of them had given a telephone number from where he said a few people were instructed. When Vaibhav dialed the number, Pratap answered the call…

Pratap – "CID Pune"

Vaibhav - "CID??? Aap kaun?"

Pratap is taken back at being asked this. ACP Prithviraj sees this…

ACP Prithviraj – "Kya hua Pratap…kaun hai?"

Pratap – "sir pata nahi kaun hai par haan shocked hai sunkar ki ye CID office hai"

ACP Prithviraj goes and takes the call and talks. Vaibhav and ACP Prithviraj knew each other as they both worked in the headquarters. Abruptly after a minute, ACP Prithviraj cuts the call and dialed to Vaibhav from his cell phone. While doing so, he went to the others and said – "Bina kuch pooche, ya bole, poore kamre ki talaashi lo"

Everyone nodded and started searching everywhere and ACP Prithviraj listened to what Vaibhav had to say on the phone. CID searched anything and everything they could find but no luck. Finally after 5 minutes, ACP Prithviraj put down the phone and clapped his hands and said – "badi bhook lagi hai. Chalo zara kuch khaya jaaye. Batao Pratap yahan ka sabse acha restaurant kaunsa hai?"

Pratap and all others were confused. They looked at each other in surprise and Pratap answered "sir central market mein dine-in kafi acha hai." ACP Prithviraj smiles and then says – "good. Gadi nikalo wahin chaltein hain."

Well everyone was confused but they did as they were told. Abhi and Daya tried asking ACP Prithviraj the matter but he just said that he was too hungry to work. Finally when they reached the restaurant, it was pretty full except one table reserved besides one occupied by a foreigner couple. ACP Prithviraj asked Pratap to give his visiting card to the manager and then join them on the reserved table. They ordered snacks and coffee and ACP Prithviraj surprisingly discussed their plans pretty loudly.

ACP Prithviraj – "khane ke baad Viren ke ghar chalte hain…Abhijeet, Viren B 6 narrow lane mein rehta tha na?" Abhijeet Nodded.

To reach Viren's house, CID left the caf but the foreigner couple too left with them. Everyone except ACP Prithviraj found it weird as the foreigner almost were following them everywhere but ACP Prithviraj didn't seem to bother at all.

The Car had to be parked in the parking lot and you had to walk nearly 20 metres through the market to reach Viren's place. While crossing the market, Abhi was deep into Shruti's thoughts when suddenly he heard some shouting at a distance.

A man was running with a bag in his hand and a lady was shouting behind him. Abhi was so much into his thoughts that by the time he could figure what was happening and went to help, the robber had always ran past him and so the lady banged into Abhi and they both fell down.

Lady – "kya aap dekh kar nahi chal sakte? Wohh chor mera purse lekar bhaag gaya."

Daya and Pratap ran after the thief and Kaveri and Lavanya went to help the lady who basically needed no help but was fully into the fight with Abhi.

Abhijeet – "dekhiye madam…"

Lady – "arre wah! Dekhna mujhe hai ki aapko. Bina kuch soche samjhe apni hi dhun mein jaa rahe hain"

Abhi was feeling too silly. The lady did only stop fighting when Pratap and Daya got back her purse, arrested the thief and told that they were CID officers. The whole thing took good 30 minutes and after that everyone laughed so much at Abhi's halat that there was no serious work done for the next 30 minutes either. Abhi was embarrassed but he too had a jolly laugh.

In Viren's house, they started searching each and every corner and found nothing much. It was a well furnished house but with very less accessories. And then to everyone's surprise (except to ACP Prithviraj's) the foreigner couple entered the house and closed the door shut after them. Pratap moved forward to send them off but ACP Prithviraj stopped him.

When they were finally inside, they checked all doors and windows were shut and they weren't spied on, they removed their disguises and only then everyone saw that the couple was actually Vaibhav and Sheetal in disguise and no one else.

They told how they had been meeting many informants in various disuises and how they found out that Mr. X didn't operate directly but small people hired by him like shop keepers, watchmen and others give orders and. Only ACP Prithviraj and Abhi were listening to them and to avoid Pratap from listening to all this, he was just told that Vaibhav and Sheetal worked on a different case and they are here just to seek some advice. So Pratap, Daya, Kaveri and Lavanya searched the house to find anything that might help.

Daya then found a letter behind one of the cupboards probably left there by mistake. To his horror, it was written by Shruti to Viren. The letter was fishy indeed as why would Shruti need to write to Viren and the letter was addressed to this very house…it read that 'Shruti had found her own accommodation and so Viren neednt worry any longer about her as she will be fine.' This was something fishy for a girl to write to her hubby and so Daya took the letter to ACP Prithviraj.

ACP Prithviraj too found it weird. He asked Abhi and Daya to go to the locality Shruti mentioned she was allotted a house in and find her. He then sent Lavanya and Pratap to find about the letter to the postal office and he himself, along with Kaveri went with Vaibhav and Sheetal to investigate a few people whom they doubted.

Abhi and Daya had a tough time finding the 'Shruti'. No one in the locality seemed to know her and so they had to knock at almost all the doors in the area. Finally then one person told them about 2 Shruti residing in the area. Abhi went to see one and Daya went to see the other one.

Abhi was tensed as things were getting onto his nerve as there certainly was something fishy about Viren and now another Shruti cropped from somewhere. Well Abhi went to the house and rang the bell. To add to his confusion and tension, came the lady with whom he had banged in the market. Abhi was too scared and kinda shy to say anything but there was something really different about her now. In the morning she looked extremely professional but now she was looking a very homely person, soberly dressed and wearing an apron and dirty hands with flour. She wasn't angry or anything and Abhi couldn't help smiling.

The lady too found it surprising to see Abhi standing on her doorstep. She too smiled and then without waiting to listen to him said – "I am sorry. Maine aapko subah naa jaane kya kya keh diya. Wohh zarasal mera purse chori ho gaya tha na aur us purse mein zaroori cheezein thi. Isiliye main pareshaan thi. Aur pareshaani mein maine kitna kuch keh diya bina soche ki kisse keh rahi hoon. Aapne kuch bola bhi nahi…wohh maine bolne kahan diya."

She laughed saying so and Abhi too smiled. While she was saying all this he wanted to interfere and tell its okie but it really isn't simple to stop a lady from speaking when she doesn't want to stop.

Now when she was silent,

Abhi – "arre nahi. Koi baat nahi"

Lady – "par aap yahan kaise?"

Abhi – "haan..wohh janna tha ki kya aapka naam Shruti hai?"

Lady – "aap kya sach mein mere khilaf case kar rahe hain jo naam pooch rahe hain?"

Abhi – "nahi nahi…wohh kuch poochtach karni hai."

Lady – "sirf Shruti naam ki ladkiyoin se?"

Abhi – "haan wohh case hi kuch aisa hai."

While Abhi and the Lady were having this door, Daya too came there. The Shruti whom Daya went to check wasn't the correct Shruti. But she was and she did know Viren too. She called Daya and Abhi inside and then went to clean herself and then came to answer their questions.

Daya – "aap Viren ko jaanti hain?"

Shruti – "haan par kya hua?"

Abhi – "Viren ki maut ho gayi hai. Aapko pata hi hoga."

Shruti – "haan par iss baat ko toh 3 mahine ho chuke hain na"

Abhi – "haan. Main Viren ka dost hoon. Wohh zara main Viren ke case ko dekh raha tha toh laga ki ismein kuch gadbad hai. Isiliye maine ye case dubara khola hai."

Shruti – "ek minute, kahin aap CID Mumbai, Senior Inspector Abhijeet toh nahi?"

Abhi – "haan par aap mujhe kaise jaanti hain?"

Shruti – "Viren se aapke bare mein suna tha. College mein jab aap saath the. Pehle Viren aapki bahut baat karta tha par phir jabse uski chacha ji se ladai hui tab se meri usse baat cheet lagbhag band hi thi."

Daya – "par Shruti aap Viren ko kaise jaanti hain?"

Shruti – "main Viren to bachpan se jaanti hoon. Hum saath saath bade hue. Main apne papa – mummy ke saath USA mein rehti thi. Jab main 10 saal ki thi, main, mummy aur papa yahan ghoomne aaye. Mere papa Viren ke papa ke bahut ache dost the. Par ek din mummy – papa Viren ke papa aur Viren ki mummy mujhe Viren ke saath ghar mein chod kar kahin bahar gaye aur raaste mein unka accident ho gaya. Mummy – Papa ke saath saath Viren ki mummy ki bhi maut ho gayi. Chacha ji ne mujhe adopt kar liya aur tab se main humesha se unke saath hi rahi hoon."

Daya said sorry for making Shruti emotional. But she smiled wiped her eyes. However Abhi was thinking something else…something very different. Shruti and Daya both noticed it and Daya asked him whats the matter?

Abhi didn't respond to Daya but turned to Shruti.

Abhi – "aap Shruti hain?"

Shruti – "haan…."

Abhi – "mera matlab aap Viren ke ghar ke peeche wale outhouse mein rehti thi aur aapki schooling saari yahin hui hai?"

Shruti – "haan aapko Viren ne bataya?"

Abhi – "oh my God. Toh phir wohh kaun hai?"

Shruti – "kaun?"

Abhi – "Viren ki patni…"

Shruti – "Kanya bhabhi?"

Both Daya and Abhi are surprised to hear this name. This was a new character introduced in the story.

Daya – "Viren ki patni ka naam Kanya hai?"

Shruti – "haan mujhe laga aapko pata hai"

Abhi – "Viren ki shaadi kab hui aapko pata hai?"

Shruti – "saath saal pehle"

Abhi – "saath saal pehle kya Viren ki shaadi Kanya se hi hui thi?"

Shruti – "aur nahi toh kya? Aap kaisi baat pooch rahe hain"

Abhi – "Viren se main aakhiri baar 7 saal pehle mila tha. Usnein mujhe Shruti ke bare mein bataya tha jo uske ghar mein hi rehti thi yani ke aap. Par usnein tab mujhe bola ki uski shaadi ussi Shruti se ho rahi hai."

Shruti, Abhi and Daya all were very confused and shocked.

Shruti – "Par aisa kaise ho sakta hai? Viren ko toh main bachpan se rakhi bandh rahi hoon aur Viren khud Bhopal se Kanya Bhabhi ko laya tha."

Daya – "ye kya chakkar hai boss?"

Shruti – "par ismein kya problem hai?"

Abhi – "problem yeh hai ki ek lady jo apne aap ko Shruti aur Viren ki wife kehti hai wohh Viren ke maut ke baad mere ghar mein reh rahi hai. Usnein yahi bataya ki uska naam Shruti hai aur wohh Viren ki patni hai."

This all went from bad to worse. Shruti told Abhi and Daya that Viren had met Kanya in Bhopal and brought her along when he came to Pune 7 years back. They got married there and lived happily but then things went wrong between Viren and his dad. Viren didn't want to join their family business and did some job which Viren's dad didn't approve off. As a result, Viren and Kanya moved out and went to live separately. Shruti was then left alone to take care of Viren's dad. Viren loved Shruti as a sister and so he did many times call her to live with them but she never did so. Then when 3 years back, Viren's dad died, Shruti moved into this flat and that was when she had written that letter to Viren as Viren had become worried about her.

Daya – "boss ye Viren ka kuch aur hi chakkar hai."

Shruti – "Mujhe pata nahi ki isse aapko kuch madad mile par 4 mahine pehle, Viren ek din achanak yahan aa gaya. Bola ki Kanya bhabhi aur Viren ki ladki kahin gaye hue hain isiliye who ek hafta yahan rehne aa gaya. Baki sab kuch theek tha par Viren lagatar tab phone par baat karta rehta tha aur kafi gusse wala ho gaya tha. Maine poocha toh bola ki kaam ki tension hai."

Daya – "Viren kaam kahan karta tha?"

Shruti – "Viren ek resort mein kaam karta tha manager tha wahan."

Abhi didn't bother to listen to anything. He was in his own thoughts.

Daya – "Kya hua Abhijeet?"

Abhi – "sabse bada sawaal hai ki jo Shruti kaki ke saath ghar mein hai, wohh kaun hai? Aur wohh Viren ke bare mein itna kaise jaanti hai? Uske paas toh Viren aur uski tasveerein bhi hain."

Daya – "Abhijeet yaad hai jab hum yahan ke liye nikal rahe the toh Shruti ekdum se bade ajeeb tareeqe se bol rahi thi. Zaroor wohh kuch jaanti hai jo hum nahi jaante."

Shruti – "agar aap log mind na karein to main milun unsein? Main Kanya bhabhi ko pehchanti hoon toh main bata dungi wohh kaun hain."

Abhi – "nahi. Wohh koi bhi ho sakti hain. Ismein khatra hai."

Daya – "toh phir kya karna hai boss?"

Abhi – "mujhe ghar jaana hoga. Kisi bhi tarah toh pata karna hi hai ki wohh Shruti kaun hai."

Meanwhile ACP Prithviraj, Kaveri, Sheetal and Vaibhav (everyone without disguises) went to meet an informer Gangu whom Vaibhav and Sheetal tried tackling yesterday in disguise but he didn't tell much. They found Gangu sitting in a pan shop and went to him

ACP Prithviraj – "Gangu?"

Gangu – "kyu saab koi peroblem hai kya?"

Vaibhav – "Gangu dekho hum log –"

Gangu – "haila! Dekh toh Rangeele (the pan wala) yeh toh woi kal wale vilayati tattu hain na jo yahan gehnoin ke bare mein pooch rahe the. (laughs) Safedi jhad gayi kya?"

CID look at each other and Gangu seemed to be a highly learnt person and could even see through disguises.

ACP Prithviraj – "Dekho Gangu, hume tumse kuch poochna hai."

Gangu – "sabko Gangu se kuch na kuch poochna hi hota hai par Gangu kyu bole"

Kaveri – "Gangu dekho sidhi tarah se bata do warna –"

Gangu – "madam ye kalaiyaan na ghar ke kaam karne mein lagao. Mere upar inka koi asar nahi hai."

Vaibhav is angry. He grabs Gangu from his wrist and twists it. Many men from neighbouring shops come out to help Gangu.

Vaibhav – "Bahut sun liya humne. CID kisi ki itni sunti nahi hai. Ab seedhi tarah se zubaan khol"

Gangu – "saab chodo toh. Aap CID wale ho…pehle batane ka tha na"

Gangu seemed to be much more co ordinating now. So Vaibhav let him go and Gangu stopped the men from coming. He then called the CID people inside a restaurant (very small) and made them all sit.

Gangu – "haan saab boliye kya baat hai."

Sheetal – "is mohalle mein tumhara kafi rob hai."

Gangu – "ab apna ich toh mohalla hai…thoda bahut chalta hai. Chalta toh apna bahut jagah hai…kahin bhi pooch lo apne bare mein."

ACP Prithviraj – "wohh sab chodo Gangu aur hum tumse kuch zaroori poochne aaye hain."

Gangu – "kis ke bare mein sahab? Exhibition wali chori ke bare mein ya Viren ke khoon ke bare mein."

Everyone is surprised to see that Gangu knows so much.

Vaibhav – "tumhe kaise pata ki hum kis case par kaam kar rahe hain?"

Gangu – "ab saab informant hai apun…toh khabar toh rakhega na."

Vaibhav – "sirf Police aur CID ke informant ho ya sabko information dete ho?"

Gangu – "saab dekho…aage kuch bhi baat karne se pehle aap log ye sun lo…apni sirf 2 shartein hain kisi ke saath kaam karne ki aur agar aapko manjoor nahi hai toh pehle hi bol dene ka…aisa nai ki baad mein nahi maan kar apna heart break karna…"

ACP Prithviraj – "kaisi shartein?"

Gangu – "pehli ki apne par trust karne ka…karo toh theek hai nai karo toh bhi apne ko kya farak padta hai aur doosra ki jab main aap logoin ko information deta hoon toh jo khabat aapko pata chale, aap bhi mujhe batana."

ACP Prithviraj – "theek hai…manjoor. Ab batao jo kal saab ne poocha tha."

Gangu – "saab agar kal hi bol dete ki CID se hain toh main kal hi na bol deta…zabardasti bade saab ko lekar aaye aap."

ACP Prithviraj – "koi baat nahi…batao exibition se chori ke bare mein kya jante ho"

Gangu – "zyada toh nahi par ye jaanta hoon ki in sab ke peeche ek nahi 2 log hain – miya – biwi. Dono kisi jhol ke karan hi mile aur raatoin raat ameer hone ke liye ye sab kiya aur jis tarah se kiya usse sab jaante hain ki dono dimaag wale hain."

Sheetal – "tumhe kaise pata 2 log hain? Humare paas toh sirf ek ke bare mein hi aaya hai."

Gangu – "yahich toh farak hai aap mein aur mujh mein. Maine Rajeev saab ko bhi bataya tha par baad mein unhe pata nahi kya ho gaya tha. Wohh King's resort ke manager pe hi vishwas karte the. Wohh bhi gayab hai."

Kaveri – "aur kya jaante ho?"

Gangu – "wohh jo aap nahi soch sakte. Jisne planning ki wohh CID ke andar hai…chupa hua…jiske liye bade saab ko bade office se bheja hai. Usne apna aadmi nahi rakha aapke office mein par wohh khud hai"

Everyone is shocked at this. Gangu tells them how a thousand thieves just from Pune and Nasik were involved into this and where the gold was sent – to Calcutta by ship. When he had ended with everything,

Kaveri – "jab tum itne kabil ho tab bhi aise bhai giri kyu karte ho?"

Gangu – "madam dekho…bhai giri kya karta hai apun? Khane – peene ka hafta wasool karta hai par badle mein sabki bole toh protection bhi toh karta hai. Kisi ki himmat apne ilaake ke ek bhi aadmi ko chot pahunchaye. Aur baaki rahi is kaam ki baat – toh apni maa bachpan mein bolne ki desh ki sewa aur logoin ke sewa sabse badi hai. Logoin ki sewa toh apun bahut karta hai aur desh ki sewa aap logoin ke madad karne se ho jaati hai"

Sheetal – "tum Police force kyun nahi join karte?"

Gangu – "mujhe kaun Police mein bharti karega? Bole toh apne paas koi skool ka certificate nahi hai na."

ACP Prithviraj – "Gangu…thank You. Tum wakayi mein bahut kabil insaan ho. Kabhi bhi koi madad chahiye hogi toh zaroor kehna."

After this they left for Office where Pratap and Lavanya were already there. They had already done with their work at the post office and discovered that the letter was 3 years old.

In Mumbai,

ACP entered the office with anger. Head Quarters were calling again and again for news and ACP was messed up with lot of problems as the recordings were not at all fine. All the cameras had some frames cut and in 3 of the cameras there was a problem of 3 – 5 minutes. ACP paced in tension in his office while Freddie and Daya were constantly checking the video recordings noticing each and everyone entering till they exit. Finally out of tension, ACP comes out from his cabin and walks upto them.

ACP – "kuch pata chala"

Freddie – "sab log toh theek dikh rahe hain, sir"

ACP – "toh phir chori kisne ki? Tumne ya maine?"

Freddie – "nahi nahi sir maine nahi ki…shayad aapne…"

ACP looks at him angrily…

Vivek – "sir mujhe lagta hai ki hume dekhna chahiye jis camere mein 5 minute ki recording missing hai, wohh kya kya dikhata hai. Usse shayad pata chale ki chor sahi mein kahan tha."

ACP – "zaroor waha se bahar jaane ka koi raata hoga. Dhoondo usse."

Just then ACP gets a call from ACP Prithviraj, who tells him all they had found from Gangu. ACP tells them what he found out and so they decide that Vaibhav, Sheetal, Kaveri, Lavanya, Abhi and Daya should return to Mumbai and go with ACP to check the hall while ACP Prithviraj and Pratap shall find the traitor.

In Pune,

When ACP Prithviraj and others reach the office, Abhi and Daya had also returned. ACP Prithviraj tells that CID mumbai should go back and investigate there (he doesn't tell what investigation neither he tells about what Pratap is to do as the traitor must be listening). Listening to it,

Abhi – "sir main Mumbai nahi jaunga."

ACP Prithviraj – "Par Abhijeet tum toh jaante ho na wahan case kitna zaroori hai."

Abhi – "sir mujhe yahan kuch aur kaam hai aur waise bhi aap yahan akele kaise investigation karenge."

ACP Prithviraj – "Abhijeet dekho Pratap hai mere saath. Tumhara jaana zaroori hai"

Abhi – "sir I am sorry main aapko bata nahi sakta par abhi mera yahan rehna zaroori hai. Mujhe Viren ke katil tak pahuchna hi hoga. Wohh mera dost tha."

Daya – "sir mujhe lagta hai main bhi Abhijeet ke saath yahan rukta hoon. Wahan zaroori case hai toh sab log toh hain. Ab jab Viren ki file kholi hai toh band karni zaroori hai."

Before ACP Prithviraj could say anything, Abhi called ACP Pradyuman and told him that he can't come. ACP did understand and agreed to let Daya and Abhi stay in Pune with ACP Prithviraj.

That evening, Lavanya, Kaveri, Vaibhav and Sheetal left for Mumbai. ACP Prithviraj, Pratap, Daya and Abhi went out to a restaurant to take dinner and then Pratap was told the matter by ACP Prithviraj. Pratap couldn't believe himself.

Pratap – "par sir CID bureau mein koi..kaise?"

ACP Prithviraj – "yeh sach hai Pratap…aur kaise, yehi toh dhoodna hai"

Daya – "Rajeev koi apne aap thodi na marr gaya. Zaroor kuch toh gadbad hai"

Abhi wasn't speaking anything. He was into his own thoughts.

ACP Prithviraj – "Abhijeet kya hua?"

Abhi – "kuch nahi sir bas thoda pareshaan tha."

ACP Prithviraj – "hum kuch kar sakte hain?"

Abhi – "sir koi baat nahi. Theek hoon…main zara bahar chakkar laga kar aata hoon…"

Saying so, Abhi left and went out of the restaurant and began strolling in the street. It was a market street but not much crowded. He was in his own thoughts and then he heard firing on the streets and then a girl shouting. He saw that it was Shruti (Viren's sister)…she was standing with a bunch of girls when the bullet went just an inch away from her. There were 5 bikers on the road full in black with guns in hand aiming at her. Shruti and her friends ducked and Abhi rang in their direction to help. He immediately took out his gun and fired at a rider who hurt his arm with which he was aiming at Shruti…

The other four got alert and aimed at Abhi instead but till then Daya, Pratap and ACP Prithviraj had also come with their guns drawn and there was horrible firing on the road. While all this was on, Abhi rushed to help Shruti and her friends. Shruti's one friend was injured. The bullet had rubbed against her arm and Shruti was tieing her hankerchief to stop the blood. Abhi went to help.

Abhi – "aap theek hain?"

Shruti nodded but no one replied. Abhi was in front of the girls with his gun up and firing. Finally when one biker was hit by a bullet and was dead, the others ran away. Daya and Pratap went to catch the dead biker in hope that he might still be alive and could tell something but he was dead. They also took hold of his bike. Meanwhile, ACP Prithviraj reached to help the girls along with Shruti. Abhi was now helping Shruti in getting the injured girl into the car so as to take her to hospital as the bleeding didn't stop. ACP Prithviraj sent his car (filled with Policemen) with them. Abhi too went to hospital.

In the hospital, the girl Anamika wasn't injured much but her blood was thin so the bleeding continued for long due to which blood had to be given. Abhi's blood group matched that of the girl and he willingly gave his blood. The girl's mother thanked Abhi and Shruti a lot and the other girls who were scared were dropped to their homes by Policemen. Anamika was suggested to be in hospital for a night and her family was there with her. Abhi asked if he should leave Shruti to her home and Shruti accepted the offer.

In the car,

Shruti – "I hope she gets fine"

Shruti rested her head on the seat and her eyes closed. She had an unusual expression on her face – she wasn't scared of whatever happened but yes very much tired and worried for her friend. After all it was a hectic day for her. Meeting CID thrice in a day isn't simple…either!

Abhi – "Doctors ne kaha na chinta ki koi baat nahi hai."

Shruti – "Thanks. Aapne blood diya jabki aap usse jaante bhi nahi."

Abhi – "yeh mera farz tha…"

Shruti looked at him…he was smiling modestly! And she laughed…

Abhi – "kya hua?"

Shruti – "nahi main bhool gayi thi aap logoin ka toh farz hota hai superman bankar sabko bachana."

Abhi too laughed!

Abhi – "superman nahi sirf dost bankar"

Shruti – "jaankar khushi hui ki aap jaise log bhi hain…warna aajkal kaun kisi par bharosa karta hai?"

Abhi – "par aapne toh kar liya…warna akele raat mein ajnabee ke saath…"

Shruti – "aapse darne wali kya baat hai?"

Abhi looked at her amused…they were talking like they knew each other for ages and now were actually looking at each other (Abhi though did look at front too as he was driving but as there was less traffic in the night so that's alright)…

Abhi – "kyun…mujh mein aur un gundo mein kya farak hai? Unke paas bhi gun thi mere paas bhi hai…coincidently maine bhi black coat pehna hai bas bike ke jagah car hai…"

He laughed saying so…Shruti stared at him and then spoke very philosophically!

Shruti – "Sab jaante hain ki ACP Pradyuman ke left aur right hand Abhijeet aur Daya jaan par khel jaayenge par kisi par bhi aanch nahi aane denge…"

Abhi – "acha toh aapke saamne ACP sir ke image achi hai…"

Shruti – "ACP sir ko kaun nahi jaanta aur Viren ka toh humesha se sapna tha ki CID join karna hai…toh itna suna hai CID ke bare mein kai baar lagta hai main bhi wahiin kaam karti hoon"

Abhi laughed and while laughing stopped the car…Shruti was also laughing…

Abhi – "Chaliye aapka ghar aa gaya…"

Shruti – "baatoin baatoin mein dhyaan hi nahi raha…thanks…"

Abhi – "koi baat nahi"

Shruti – "waise mujhe pata nahi tha ki CID officers bhi itni baatein karte hain…aur hastein bhi hain"

Abhi – "chalo kisi ki galat faimy toh dur huyi…phir theek hai main chalta hoon…kuch aapko pata chale toh please bata deejiyega…"

Shruti – "aap coffee lenge"

Abhi – "coffee?"

Shruti – "haan aapne khana nahi liya na…itni der se phir hospital mein bhi kaam kar rahe the aur blood bhi diya…kuch kha lijiye…"

Abhi – "nahi seriously thanks…"

Shruti – "dekhiye main bhi aapke saath itni der khadi thi…aapke bahane main bhi coffee pee lungi."

Abhi – "acha…"

Shruti – "toh aap gadi park karke aayige…main jaakar coffee chadhati hoon"

Shruti got down saying so and went up to her house while Abhi was parking the car…and just then he saw something very weird – lights on in Shruti's house…this means someone was in there…he took the keys out of his car, got out fast and ran upstairs as fast he could…Shruti was already unlocking her door…and Abhi shouted – "Shruti…." Shruti who ofcourse didn't know what happened, was opening the door of her house and suddenly looked back and at that time many things happened simultaneously…

A man in mask came running out of the house…he pushed Shruti hard and she hit herself with the door. But then Abhi too reached the floor at the moment and he took out his gun…the masked man retreated and held Shruti as hostage…Abhi didn't dare fire and the masked man moved backward with Shruti's neck in his hands…Abhi was closing in…and then the masked man threw Shruti towards Abhi and jumped down the open stairs and ran…by the time Abhi caught Shruti…and holding her went to see the man, he had already escaped. Abhi helped Shruti into her house into the sofa…

The house was all turned upside down…everything broken or stuff lying around in a mess…However, Abhi didn't bother that at the moment, Shruti was hurt on her head. He fetched her some water. She was fine though…Abhi called ACP Prithviraj and told her what happened. He ordered Abhi to take Shruti and come to the bureau while he sent a team to investigate in the house.

Shruti, I'm totally speechless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......U r such a grrrrrrrrrrrrreat writer yaar, hey, CID writer to tumhe banna chaiye, absolutely marvelous, while reading I felt that I was watching all these................plsssssssssssssss continue soon, it's so lively, can't wait to read the next...

Next Day,

In Mumbai,

Lavanya and Kaveri were busy interrogating the 40 security officers hired to guard the hall, Freddie and Vivek were talking to people in the control room and Vaibhav, Sheetal and ACP were searching for finger prints or other evidence with help of Dr. Saluke and Dr. Tarika.

Lavanya – "Dekho recording mein saaf dikh raha hai ki aap log roz kisi se baat karte the…wohh insaan gate ke bilkul bahar baithta tha aise ki usko ek bhi camera nahi dekh paaye."

Guard 1 – "par madam hume baat karna mana hai…hum bhale hi 1 minute ke liye kisi se baat kar le par isse zyada nahi."

Kaveri – "toh phir chor ko itni saari andar ki khabar kaise hui? Kisi ne toh dee hogi"

Guard 2 – "humne thodi na dee."

Guard 3 – "haan madam. Hum sab gareeb log hain par imaandar hain. Hum jhooth nahi keh rahe."

ACP who listened to all this came,

ACP – "dekho hum tumhe phasane nahi aaye hain. Hum sirf chahte hain ki tum logoin ko jo bhi yaad aata hai wohh hume bata do."

Guard 1 – "saab ek aadmi tha. Wohh roz aata tha, andar jaata, kamre ka ek chakkar marta, kuch nahi dekhta aur fir bahar chala jaata. Paanchvein din jab wohh aaya toh maine usse poocha…usnein kuch jawaab nahi diya aur chala gaya…tab se nahi aaya."

Kaveri – "sir hume kya pata wohh nahi aaya…jiski hum baat kar rahe hain aur behtareen behrupiya hai…toh ho sakta hai wohh kuch aur bankar aaya ho isiliye ye log usse pehchan na paaye hoin.

ACP – "haan Kaveri par tab bhi wohh yahan aata raha…"

Just then Vivek comes and tells "sir andar toh bahut ghafla hai"

ACP – "kya matlab?"
Vivek – "sir yeh log bata rahe hain ki jis din exhibition lagi uss din inka regular aadmi- Rakesh nahi aaya jo wahan baithta tha par usne apni jagah apne dost - Biju ko bhej diya. Us dost nein pehle bhi yahan kaam kiya tha isiliye in logoin ne usse aane diya…aur exhibition ke paach din ke baad wohh dost gayab ho gaya…"

ACP – "aur Rakesh?"

Vivek – "sir wohh jab in logoin ne Rakesh ke ghar mein pata kiya toh Rakesh lapata tha"

ACP – "kab se?"

Vivek – "exhibition shuru hone se ek din pehle se"

ACP – "gadbad hai…har jagah gadbad hai"

ACP was consumed in all this when,

Saluke – "arre yeh kya?"

ACP goes to Saluke to see what he found out…

ACP – "kya mila Saluke?"

Saluke – "ACP tum toh keh rahe the ki ye chor bada shatir hai…par yeh toh bilkul daffar nikla"

ACP – "hua kya?"

Saluke – "bas samajh lo bhagte chor ki langoti mil gayi hai"

ACP – "Saluke theek theek batao kya mila hai?"

Saluke – "nakhun"

ACP – "nakhun?"

Saluke – "haan baba haath ki ungli ka nakhun"

Till now Vivek, Lavanya, Freddie, Vaibhav and Sheetal had also come to see. Saluke shows them (Tarika has already seen it) a small piece what looked like part of string coming out from the wall. Saluke took a sharp knife and a forcep and slowly tried to pull out the nail by trying to extract some part of wall with it but surprisingly a lot of dust dropped. Saluke stopped and turned to the guard

Saluke – "yeh is deewar ke peeche hai kya?"

Guard 1 – "sir wohh air conditioning control hai."

ACP – "kya hua?"

Saluke – "deewar khokhli hai"

Everyone exchange looks.

Saluke – "koi bhi aasaani se ek – do eeth hata kar raasta bana sakta hai deewar ke beecho beech."

ACP – "toh yahan se gahne gaye hain"

Vivek – "iska matlab sir koi air conditioner ke control ke paas hoga aur chor ne yahan se gehne chura kar usse pakda diye"

Freddie – "uff…yeh chor hai ki spider man, jahan dekho pahunch gaya, air conditioner mein bhi??"

ACP – "yahi toh pata karna hai Freddie…Vaibhav, Vivek, tum dono jaao AC control ke paas hum yahan se wahan raasta banane ki koshish karte hain."

The two left along with a guard to show them the way and then,

ACP – "Freddie kuch nokili cheez lao jisse ched kar sake…koi rod wagarah"

Freddie went out along with one guard and then returned with 2 metal rods. The guard and Freddie banged the rods on the wall a couple of times and then they could make a little hole through which they could see the other side of the wall. Then after a little more help, the broadened the hole.

ACP – "Vivek…Vaibhav kya tum log wahan ho? Mujhe sun sakte ho?"

Vivek – "ji sir…hum yahin hain"

Lavanya – "sir toh phir yahin se chori hui hai"

Kaveri – "par sir deewar toh thos hai toh phir kaise yahan se koi cheezein andar – bahar kar sakta hai?"

Saluke – "kisne kaha deewar sabut hai?"

ACP – "kya matlab?"

Saluke didn't reply but took the rod from the guard and then tried breaking the wall vertically. Ofcourse it broke unevenly and then Saluke cleaned the dust from a cloth and what dawned on the CID was shocking!!!

There was a wooden passage hidden behind cement and bricks.

ACP – "oh toh yeh hai yahan ka doosra darwaza…par yeh yahan hai, ye tumhe kaise pata chala Saluke?"

Saluke – "boss cement dhoka de gaya, aadha cement purana hai aur aadha naya aur cement ke beech mein lakdi ke tukde the…"

Saluke holds out his hand to show the cement that had fallen and when ACP noticed carefully, there were brown particles in between.

ACP – "maan gaye Saluke"

Saluke – "arre yeh kya CID ne forensic waloin ki tareek ki?"

ACP – "Saluke…"

Saluke – "kyun boss koi sapna toh nahi? Aisa kaise ho gaya"

ACP – "uff tumhe acha kaho toh bhi sirdardi na kaho toh bhi –"

Before ACP could complete,

Saluke – "sirdardi? Par abhi toh bahut kuch hai batane ko…soch lo"

ACP – "aur bhi kuch hai? Arre wah! Kya?"

Saluke – "Dr. Tarika ko kuch mila hai"

Dr. Tarika – "haan ACP sir, iss cement ke kuch tukdoin mein ek special tareeke ka glue mila hua hai, jisse cement jaldi se jam gaya aur kuch hi gantoin mein mazboot deewar ban gayi"

ACP – "acha?"

Saluke – "aur sunne wali khabar yeh hai ki yeh glue har jagah aasani se nahi milti, yeh sirf sarkari daftaroin mein milti hai thodi thodi aur CID bureau mein milti hai"

ACP – "CID bureau mein?"

Sheetal – "kahiin aap us glue ki baat toh nahi kar rahe jisse overseas parcel jam hokar jaate hain?"

Saluke – "haan bilkul wahi…jab bhi CID ko koi secret parcel bhejna hota hai, toh kissi aur cheez ke andar ched karke, us parcel ko polythene mein lappet kar glue ke ched mein daal dete hain, ab chahe kuch karlo, aapse yeh glue nahi hategi. Is glue ka tod sirf ek solution hai jo glue ke use kare jaane ke sirf 10 gante tak hi parcel ko nikalne mein madad kar sakta hai, warna us parcel ko kabhi nikala jaa sakta."

Dr. Tarika – "Tabhi toh dekhiye sir, cement ke saath jud kar is glue ne kitne mote pathar bana liye, par yeh glue dilute karke use kiya gaya hai isiliye deewar toot gayi warna isse todna namumkin hai."

While all this conversation was on, Sheetal was tensed. ACP saw her

ACP – "Kya hua Sheetal?"

Sheetal – "sir, kuch mahine pehle, shayad 4 mahine pehle CID headquarters se ek bada dabba bharkar glue gayab ho gayi thi. Yehi wali glue"

Everyone is tensed.

Sheetal – "Headquarters ko lagta hai ki CID bureau mein hi koi gaddar hai aur ab toh ye sach lagne laga hai."

ACP – "hume jald hi usse pakdna hoga warna musibat aa jaayegi…Sheetal, Tum, Kaveri aur Lavanya, Saluke aur Tarika ke saath jo kuch bhi milta hai dhoondo aur Forensic lab bhejo testing ke liye… aur Vivek aur Vaibhav…main wahan aa raha hoon….chalo Freddie"

In Pune,

It was 9 am and Shruti was there in CID office sitting in a chair silently crying while the others were discussing the matter.

ACP Prithviraj then went to her.

ACP Prithviraj – "Shruti dekhiye aapko ghabrane ki koi zaroorat nahi hai."

Daya – "yahan aapko kisi se khatra nahi hai."

Shruti – "par yeh toh sach hai na ki kal mujh par humla hua tha jismein Anamika ghayal ho gayi."

Abhi – "ek minute…isse pehle kya kabhi aapke saath aisa kuch hua hai?"

Shruti – "nahi…pata nahi kal kya kya ho gaya?"

Abhi didn't wait to listen to her but went to a cupboard and began searching something in it. It was there…the letter Shruti wrote to Viren. He brought it and showed it to everyone…

Abhi – "yeh rahi hamle ki wajah."

Daya – "kya matlab?"

Abhi – "jisne bhi Viren ka khoon kiya hai wohh nahi chahta hum ye case solve kare…Shruti jo shayad is waqt hume Viren ke bare mein sabse zyada bata sakti hai…achanak se jaise hi CID usse milti hai…waise hi uspe humle hone lagte hain."

ACP Prithviraj – "kuch samajh nahi aa raha ki chakkar hai kya"

Shruti – "kya main office phone kar sakti hoon."

ACP Prithviraj – "haan zaroor. Aur keh do ki aap lagbhag 2 – 3 din office nahi aayengi. Aapki jaan ko khatra hai. Pratap phone dikho."

Pratap showed her the phone though there was nothing to be shown as the phone was kept just behind her…She dialed and just then came in Rampal Chacha carrying tea. Shruti found the line too disturbed though she thought she saw something about Rampal Chacha that was more disturbing though she didn't remember it a second later and then thought to forget it.

Shruti – "line mein kitna distubance hai"

Pratap – "haan who kareeban ek saal se hai. Kitni baar line check kara lee par theek hi nahi hota. Aap bahar wale phone se kar leejiye, wohh theek hai."

Shruti – "yeh kya hai?"

Shruti was examining the land line and then she spotted something.

The others too came too see…Shruti demanded for a screw driver with which she opened the phone quietly and inside the receiver was well placed a mike small enough to fit there. ACP Prithviraj saw it immediately and pulled everyone away from the phone.

ACP Prithviraj – "yeh toh sirf kisi chuhe ka kaam hai. Lagta hai ab chuhe bhi CID office mein aane lage hain."

Everyone was confused to listen to him but he kept on doing action to them to stay quiet. And while saying, he took a paper and scribbled 'DON'T SPEAK ANYTHING' and handed it to everyone.

ACP Prithviraj – "koi baat nahi ab isse jaane do engineer se theek kara lenge. Toh mere hisaab se thoda kaam ho jaaye. Zara dekhna Pratap Shruti ke ghar ki investigation report aa gayi…aur Shruti aap jaakar zara bahar dekh lijiye…aapke ghar ka kuch samaan jo hume laga ki damaged hai, wohh hum yahan le aaye evidence ke taur par. Ek baar aap dekh lijiye. Daya inhe le jao."

Daya escorted her out..while going out Shruti glanced at Rampal Chacha and for a second she thought that he too was staring at her, the other she thought he looked extremely worried and the third she thought she saw something similar about him. However she moved on with Daya.

Inside the cabin,

ACP Prithviraj was cautiously moving towards the mike making as little noise as possible.

ACP Prithviraj – "Abhijeet mujhe kuch nahi pata kya hoga…iske aage sab kuch clueless hai."

When he said so, he with symbols said to Abhi to come to him. Abhi understood what he meant. Someone was listening to all CID conversation with the help of the mike and so if they became quiet or talked of discovering it, the listener would be alert. So they talked about the case and meanwhile tried removing the mike.

Abhi – "sir mujhe lagta hai Viren us resort mein kisi chakkar mein phas gaya tha…isiliye maara gaya."

ACP Prithviraj – "mujhe bhi lagta hai par samajh nahi aata ki wohh Police ke paas kyun nahi gaya…"

Abhi – "hume resort mein chalna chahiye."

ACP Prithviraj – "mere khayal se pehle ek baar Viren ke ghar aur Viren ke pita ke ghar hokar aate hain."

Abhi – "haan yeh theek rahega"

And finally the mike was removed from the phone. ACP Prithviraj took the mike and kept it inside a drawer and closed the drawer. Still he didn't know how safe it was to talk now. Well they went out to see what was happening but then Abhi got a call. It was from ACP who said Abhi should come back. Abhi had told ACP about the weird things happening about the 2 Shrutis and ACP found it unsafe to leave Kaki at Abhi's place alone with the Shruti. Abhi too found it logical.

While Abhi took the call, ACP Prithviraj went to the hall. Abhi joined later.

ACP Prithviraj – "kya kaha ACP sir ne?"

Abhi – "sir ke hisaab se mujhe aur Daya ko kuch time ke liye Mumbai chalna chahiye"

ACP Prithviraj – "Main toh keh hi raha tha na."

Daya – "par yahan itna kuch ho raha hai kaise chod kar jaaye?"

Pratap – "hum log hain na yahan…hum dekhenge."

ACP Prithviraj – "hum log yahan nahi hai Pratap…"

Pratap – "ji sir?"

ACP Prithviraj – "ji…hum sab chalte hain aur Shruti ji aap bhi agar ho sake toh humare saath chale…yahan aapka koi hai nahi, akeli rehti hain…jaan khatre mein hai hi aur jab Abhijeet ki aap custody mein hain toh aisa kaise hoga ki wohh wahan aur aap yahan."

Shruti – "haan main bhi chalti hoon…wahan un se bhi mil lungi jinka zikra Abhijeet ne kiya tha."

ACP Prithviraj – "good then. Lunch kiya jaaye…uska baad packing karte hain aur chalte hain."

ACP Prithviraj instructed other CID members still at Pune to look into the attacks on Shruti and investigate about the rider they had caught. He also asked them to have tight security at Shruti's place and every news should be reported to him through cell phone.

Shruti was taken by Abhi to her house to get her bag packed.

Shruti – "mere karan aapki duty badh gayi"

Abhi was having coffee which Shruti made and smiled.

Abhi – "duty ka pata nahi par haan coffee peene ki aadat zaroor badh gayi hai…case khatam hone ke baad coffee badi miss karunga."

Shruti – "kyun ghar mein koi hai nahi jo coffee bana de?"

Abhi – "ghar mein rehta kaun hai jo wahan koi ho…"

Shruti – "toh phir toh aapko ek patni ki zaroorat hai…"

Abhi – "kya baat karti ho…sasti si coffee machine aa jaayegi…uske badle ek zindgi bhar ki patni!"

Shruti – "Patni coffee ke saath saath baaki kaam bhi karegi aur aapko ghar mein aane ki wajah bhi milegi…after all ghar mein koi hai jiski care karni hai…kab tab poori duniya ki care karenge Abhijeet?"

Abhi didn't speak anything. Shruti was a good friend now and he enjoyed speaking to her but he hadn't even spoken like this to Daya and so this was weird! Anyways, the packing was done and Abhi and Shruti left for Mumbai. Daya, Pratap and ACP Prithviraj had left in another car…already.

Shruti – "mujhe darr lag raha hai"

Abhi – "kyun kya hua?"

Shruti – "kuch nahi par aise ghar se bahar akeli toh pehli baar aa rahi hoon…aur wohh bhi Police ki madad karne jabki apni jaan mushkil mein hai"

Abhi – "Aap ko agar lagta hai ki aap yeh nahi kar paayengi toh rehne deejiye."

Shruti – "nahi…main karna chahti hoon…aakhir mera bhi Viren se kuch rishta tha."

Abhi – "Viren…haan mujhe toh kuch samajh nahi aa raha ki uske saath kya hua?"

Shruti – "pata chal jaayega…"

Abhi – "kya hua?"

Shruti – "kuch soch rahi thi…"

Abhi – "kya?"

Shruti – "pehle Abhijeet aap promise karo ki chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye mujhe CID bureau nahi jaana hoga…main CID mumbai se nahi milungi jabtak main naa chahun"

Abhi – "par kyun?"

Shruti – "bas…aapko baad mein pata chal jaayega…abhi nahi"

Abhi – "par…"

Shruti – "itna bada secret nahi hai yeh…jab sahi waqt aayega jo shayad kuch dino mein aa jaaye, tab aapko pata chalega toh aap hasoge"

Abhi – "acha…theek hai…aap bureau mein mat rehna…main aapke rehne ke liye Kaveri ya Lavanya se baat kar lunga. Wohh bata dengi aapke rehne ke liye jagah…warna aap unke saath shift ho sakti hain…"

Shruti – "kya main…aapke ghar mein reh sakti hoon?"

Abhi didn't say anything…

Shruti – "main phir us Shruti se ache se mil sakti hoon na aur jaan sakti hoon aur uske bare mein. Aapko toh koi pareshani nahi hai na?"

Abhi – "nahi mujhe kya paresani honi…haan…theek rahega."

Shruti – "aap tension mein ho?"

Abhi – "pata nahi…pareshaan toh hoon kis bare mein kuch samajh nahi aa raha…"

Shruti – "mujhe bataiye main batati hoon…"

Abhi – "kyun logoin ke dimaag padhne nahi aate…itna kuch aata hai toh wohh bhi aana chahiye na…"

Shruti – "logoin ke dimaag toh bahut ache se padh leti hoon par police waloin ke padhne mein mushkil hoti hai…"

Abhi – "matlab?"

Shruti – "journalist hoon…logoin ki baat toh samajh leti hi hoon par Police ka kya kiya jaaye, sochti kuch hai, bolti kuch aur karti kuch…"

Abhi laughs…Shruti smiles…

Abhi – "aap reporter hain…mujhe nahi pata tha…"

Shruti – "ab toh pata chal gaya na.."

And like this laughing and talking they reached Abhi's place. Abhi carries the bags inside and its kaki who opens the door.

Kaki – "Abhijeet aa gaya tu? Ek phone hi kar deta, itne dino na koi khair, na khabar, Shruti toh pareshan ho gayi, par maine usse bata diya ki yeh toh roz ki hi baat si hai. Yeh kaun hai?"
Abhi – "Kaki…wohh –"

Abhi didn't know what to tell but Shruti covered up.

Shruti – "Kaki namaste…main Sh…Shipra hoon. Main CID officer hoon. Abhijeet ke dost Viren ke case par kaam kar rahi hoon. Toh maine socha kuch din ke liye Mumbai aayi hoon toh yahan reh leti hoon, Abhijeet ji se case ke bare mein baat bhi kar lungi. Kya main yahan reh sakti hoon?"

Kaki – "arri beti aa na…ismein bhi koi poochne ki baat hai…Abhijeet toh ghar mein rehta hi nahi, chalo kuch din ghar mein hulchul rahegi."

While the conversation was on, the three walked in. Abhijeet was confused for why Shruti called herself Shipra and also a CID officer and stared at her for an explanation but she never looked at him but she was busy talking to Kaki. And then Abhi's eyes raced the length of the hall to a figure standing just below the stairs was Shruti (claimed Viren's wife). She heard Abhi's and Kaki's voice and rushed down from her room to see. She was pretty scared just like she was went Abhi had left. Seeing her, Abhi suddenly remembered all that was going inside him when he had left regarding her but after meeting the other Shruti (Viren's sis), and getting into Viren's case, Abhi almost forgot all about Shruti and never did either feel anything for her. And so seeing her and remembering all the things was very embarrassing.

Abhi didn't want to face her and so,

Abhi – "Kaki mujhe office mein report karna hai, mujhe jaana hoga."

Kaki – "thodi der baith toh, kuch kha le"

Abhi – "nahi kaki, der ho jaayegi"

And without another glance he left.
