Arjun make her stand properly and left to the kitchen leaving totally dazed Riya behind who was still thinking lostly abt the deep black orbs. Her trance broke by the sound of bowl from kitchen which deliberately made by Arjun. Riya look towards kitchen then left to the room which once was Arjun n Roshini's but now it is her temporary room.
After freshing up for bed her stomach start making sound which indicates that she is hungry badly, first she thought to leave it as it is and lay down on bed but sleep was far away as her stomach is empty. She drink 3-4 glasses of water in attempt to fill her stomach but when she felt it out of control, she come out of her room thinking that maybe she found something in refrigerator but when she open it, there was only few water bottles, few raw veggies which she can't eat and half eaten sweet pie, first she make faces but again her stomach make noise and she decided to eat the half eaten pie so she take out the pie and place it on slab of kitchen and goes near plates holder. She pulled out one plate and turn towards pie when she stop and turn back towards plates holder near which there was a packed parcel of her favorite restaurant kept with a note on it 'Riya, I know you are hungry, here this is for you.' reading it her eyes lit up with double joy, one for her hungry stomach she can have her favorite pizza and second is she knows now that the love of her life care abt her very much. She eat it happily without noticing that one pair of eyes were watching her with sweet smile on his smile. Arjun smiled genuinely seeing the glimpse of her normal self.
She went inside her bedcover and switch off the lamp happily while stand there till he saw the light of her room goes off. Seeing the light went off in her room, he went to his room and lay down and soon drifted to sleep.
Mid night, Riya's sleep broken by someone's scream, she immediately sat on the bed and switch on the bedside lampas in her drowsiness without understanding anything she get up from her bed before running out of the room towards the source of scream as soon as she open the door of her room, Riya got shocked for few seconds as her drowsiness went away as she identify the voice but next instance she ran inside the next room, soon she gasped as she saw the great no-nonsense ACP Arjun Rawte was crying after screaming loud "Roshini!!" like a small kid in his sleep, he is sweating badly and mumbling slowly "Please use kuch mat kro.. Roshini... Roshini ko chorh do uski.. koi galti nhi hai...Please..Plea..."
This scene broke her heart as she can't see him so broken so she thought to wake him up. Riya goes taking small steps near him hearing his mumbling which was slowly decreasing when she was standing beside his bed she slowly called him "Sirr! Arjun Sir ! Arjun si..." Her words stopped as she heard him mumbling her name with incoherent words saying "Riya.. please please don't leave me.. like..like roshini...Please don't leav...Pleas..mai tumhre bi...Riya pleas..." Hearing this Riya couldn't control herself so she immediately sit near his head, she said slowly "I'm not going anywhere sir. I'm not going to leave you. I can't . I'm always beside don't worry.. I'm here Sir." Saying so she slowly started wiping his forehead and tear-stained cheeks with one hand while her other hand slowly caressing his hair but she didn't notice as soon as she sat near him, he stop mumbling and crying and get relaxed. Riya realized it when she heard him taking deep breath which indicates that he was in deep peaceful sleep with slightly parted lips. Riya smiled seeing him sleeping like small kid and thought to sit near him little more to satisfy her heart as he is sleeping. Riya stare at his sleeping face and went back in the time which turned her life upside down.
FLASHBACK
After knowing that Mr and Mrs Mukherjee are either in any kind of pressure. All become little tensed as Ayesha Liza n Sakshi also joined them and find through their sources that their suspicion were correct indeed Riya's parents are in some kind of danger, so all were sitting tensed in hospital room of Arjun while Arjun was in deep sleep due to the effect of high dose medicines from last one and a half hours and in these hours Ayesha Liza Sakshi did their findings and came back with their informations. Everyone was thinking about what should they do? That's when Arjun blinks his eyes in his drowsiness as the effect of medicine reducing, he saw Riya's tensed n fearful face then he saw everyone was there and his cop mind kicked his medicine effect away as he saw everyone in deep thought with tensed expression. When he tried to get up to ask the reason Riya's eyes fell on Arjun she immediately went near him saying "ek minute Sir.. sambhal ke." She help him and make him sit while his back was resting on the pillows as the muscles of his back got hurt badly during saving Riya.
Hearing Riya's words everyone's attention was now on Ariya. Rathod said breaking the silence "Ab kaisa lag rha hai Arjun? Dard Kam hua?" Arjun look towards Rathod and give him a weak nod and said "Sam I'm fine. And please now without any delay I want every details related to the case.. I mean Mr and Mrs Mukherjee ke Ghar Mei Kon log hai and what they wanted??" "But sir Abhi apko.." Riya try to make him relax but whom she is trying to control Arjun Suryakant Rawte hot head cop. "Everything, I said. NOW!!" Arjun said in stern voice cutting Riya in mid. This make Riya silent but Sam shake his head at Arjun in disbelief and start telling him about their findings.
Arjun after hearing everything took a deep breath and was about to say what he think but was interrupted by a glass full of water placed infront of him. He sigh defeatedly and look towards Riya in disbelief taking the glass in his hand gesturing "what?" Riya fearfully yet firmly said "Sir pehle ye medicine le lijiye. Nurse ne kaha tha khane se pehle dene ko so ap pehle ye le lijiye hum log phir baat kreinge." Arjun's jaw dropped down seeing her ordering him like she is a boss but he take the medicine without any fuss as he likes this side of her. But as soon as he turn to others after taking his pills he regret doing his earlier act as he saw everyone's red face not due to anger or anything but by controlling their laugh and by seeing Arjun's face, Sam's last straw of control also break and he burst into laughter and seeing their chief others also burst into laughing. This make Riya confused while Arjun embarrassed but he compose himself putting a stern face passed an angry glare which stop everyone's laugh but one. Arjun irritatedly shout "Rathod!!" this makes Sam also silent as he heard the 'rathod' from Arjun instead of 'Sam' while Arjun controlling his laugh said composingly "mere paas ek plan hai but uske liye humein plan ko real look dena padega and Riya ko uske liye tyyar hona padega."
He tell everyone the plan. Everyone amused by the instance full proof plan an went to do their work.
