Kria, Rahul and Sonia were sitting at the dining table having breakfast. Toast, jam, pitcher of juice and milk were kept in middle of table. Breaking the silence, Sonia said, "Did you see the news last night?"

Kria: "I don't watch news. You should know that."

Rahul: "You would be interested about dance. Right?"

Kria nodded and Sonia explained. "Today, judges of All Star Dance Competition are in our state today. You should try out for it. Give audition you'll definitely get in."

Kria stopped eating to say, "Sonia, please. I only dance for myself now. No auditions, competitions etc. Topic closed." She said in a stern tone. Sonia understood why and didn't pressure on that topic.

Changing the topic, Rahul said, "So what's the plan for tomorrow?"

Kria: "Anything special tomorrow?" Sonia glared at her. She said, "How can you forget my birthday?!" She was shocked and couldn't digest that from all people Kria would forget.

To cover up for her mistake. She said as a matter-of-fact. "Did you really think I would forget?"

She got up and came back grabbing something from her purse. She put forward two tickets in front of her. Sonia gave a puzzled look and took it to read it. Her expression changed to glad and a big grin was on her face.

Covering Kria in a tight hug, she said happily," Kria! I love you. Thank you so so so much!!"

She had lost her appetite and Rahul asked, "What is it?" Sonia replied enthusiastically. "Two tickets to my favorite band. And that too front stage tickets!" Rahul grinned as well.

She was wishing to see it for a long time. Her wish was getting fulfilled. Kria informed, "For both of you. Go and Enjoy."

Sonia asked, "What about you? Why'd you only buy two tickets?"

Kria said shaking her head," I don't want to go.

You both go have a nice time. Besides, i wouldn't want to be 'Kebab main haddi! She flashed them a smile while winking. Sonia Shied and hit Kria's elbow playfully.

XYZ: "M there"

Vaibhavi: "I'll be there in 5."

Sharon smiled rethinking the concern Swayam had for her. She opened the picture album that she and her friends made in their senior year. She touched them as if she could feel each story behind the photograph.

Turning the page, she saw a picture of Kria, Neha and Vishakha covered in cake, during one of their random food fights.

She let out a stifled laugh thinking how stupid they were being as Dazzlers and Weaklings and them putting on a fight out of nowhere and that too without a reason.

Her smile turned into a frown as she said with sadness in her tone, "Kria, why did you just leave telling us nothing? I miss you, hard to believe but I do pray that wherever you are, you are happy and hopefully missing us."

Kria took out the same album that was hidden underneath a pile of clothes. Today, she missed all of them more than ever before. She said, "I know where you are. I just don't have the nerve to contact you all." The photos brought tears in her eyes.

As she turned a page, she saw a picture of Swayam and her dancing during Rose day. She smiled lightly, saying, "I hope you have told her by now. And hopefully she has realized her feelings towards you already."

Knowing who the next picture was of, she closed the album giving a low sigh and wiping away her tears.

XYZ: "What do you need help in?"

Vaibhavi: "I need you to find as much as you can on this girl." She then showed the picture to him.

He smirked saying in his funny voice, "Ah! Another Indian chick?"

"Be serious." She said. "There's something about her. Have a look at this." She pulled out her mobile and showed him the video she had secretly takes while she was mesmerized looking her dance the following morning.

He sat back in his chair taking a bite of his sandwich as he watched it. He stopped chewing midway as he was struck by her talent. Vaibhavi giggled at his expression when he finally gulped down the piece. As the video went black, he was fumbling for adjectives to describe her talent.

Vaibhavi: "Exactly my reaction. There's more to come."

Giving her mobile back, he asked, 'Which is?"

"I asked her if she was going to audition and she said something like 'I don't audition anymore'."

"Huh!" He let out a surprised laugh. "This would mean digging into her personal life."

"And that is why you're a detective Arjun!" She retorted back. (Ok, guys, I know most of you thought XYZ is Rey. But he's not. Rey's entrance will be after 2-3 more chapters as I want to show how Kria thinks before Rey is shown)

Arjun: "I know my job very well!" He was surely offended when Vaibhavi pointed a finger at his profession. "But personal'?"

She gave him a sorry look and informed, "This morning she was talking to someone named Sonia. She must be someone important. You can start with that."

"Sure. I'll let you know as soon as I learn something." Giving her a smile, he left and shortly after, she did too.

A boy knocked on the door saying, "Deewani, open the door!"

Neha opened the door angrily and said, "What is it Deewana? Neha having lunch." She was wearing jeans and a blue kurta that fit her perfectly.

"You look pretty." Vicky said in a dreamy voice. She shied away and looked down. Coming out of his trance, he remembered why he was there in the first place. Grabbing her hand and surprising her, he pulled her with him. Neha complained, "Neha wants to finish eating."

Arjun entered his small, cozy office and called his assistant in. He informed him, "New personal case. Find what you can on this girl while I make a few calls." The guy nodded and started working. Arjun pulled up the 'Phone book' and searched for a name he had found from Kria's phone call list he had somehow gotten hold of.

Kria left to do grocery shopping while Rahul left for his shift at the hospital. Sonia was alone at home watching a movie. Her cell rang eventually and looking at the caller id, she spoke with uncertainty as the number was displayed as private number, "Hello?"

"Sonia?" Arjun asked.

"Yes, who are you?"

"I'm Arjun. I wanted to talk to you about Kria."

She sat up straight and asked, "Kria? How do you know her? She's fine right?"

"Relax." He chuckled. "I don't know her. And I'm sure she's fine wherever she is."

"Then?"

"Firstly, let me tell you who I am. I'm a detective and '" There really was no need to tell Sonia that he was a detective. But he surely did not believe in lying for his benefit. The rest was unheard as he told her the reason for this call.

She listened to him with interest as this was about Kria. When he finished, she said, "Surely I'll help. Anything I can do. Just tell me."

Arjun: "For starters, you can try to convince her."

Sonia: "Consider it done."

Arjun: "How exactly are you going to do it?"

"Simple. She will never say no to anything I ask for. Besides, my birthday's coming up. Doubly reason she won't refuse."

"As you say! Happy Birthday in advance. Call me once it's done."

"Alright." They ended the call as a plan formed in Sonia's mind.

Precap: 1) "Rahul, you have to help me!"

Kria: "Sonia, please!"

Sonia: "Why Kria? Stop running from it already. If you truly mean what you say, then prove it. Give the audition!" Her plan so did not work out the way she had wanted to.
