Superb amazing update

I got up suddenly hearing some voice. I frowned and looked everywhere only to see myself sleeping beside Arjun. I heard the voice of footsteps. I have to see what's happening. I got up and looked at Arjun. Its better if I wake him up too. Who knows what's going on outside.

Riya: Arjun?? Arjun get up!!

I shook him trying to wake him up. He frowned and opened his eyes sleepily. Then he looked at the time in his cell phone.

Arjun: What happened yaar. Is this the time to get up?? Its just 2 am!!

He looked at me frowning suddenly he sat up straight. I know he saw some tension in my face.

Riya: I heard something Arjun.

I said to him and we both heard something again. We both looked at each other stunned. Suddenly Arjun got up hurriedly.

Arjun: Let's go!!

He said picking up his gun and I took my gun too. We both came out from the palace stealthily, only to see the person who came in Manyata's room to give us juice. What the hell is going on??

Riya: He is the same person whom Manyata called Maharaj Ji. Right??

I whispered to Arjun looking ahead frowning.

Arjun: Hmm.

He said and we both moved forward stealthily. Suddenly I looked towards other side only to see Dai Ma going towards a secluded corner of the palace.

Riya: What's going on Arjun?? Look at that lady.

I said indicating towards the old lady.

Arjun: Follow her Riya. I will follow this Maharaj.

Arjun whispered and I nodded in yes.

Riya: Arjun. Be alert!!

I said to him sternly and he nodded in yes.

Arjun: You too.

He said and went behind that Maharaj Ji. I went behind that Dai Ma. She looked here and there and then stopped near a lake which separates Devgarh Estate from another neighbouring estate which is Raigarh as far as I know.

A man in his late twenties came out from the other side. He looks like someone really important as the old lady is bowing down to him.

Dai Ma: Khamma Ghani Hukum!!

That Dai Ma said with utmost respect. Oh!! So this person is her employer. And she is loyal to him. That's why she looks at Manyata as if she hates her.

Anshuman: Hmm. Everyone slept??

He asked in a hushed voice. But as everything is silent here I can hear both of them very clearly.

Dai Ma: Yes Hukum!! I gave them sleeping pills.

Dai Ma said smiling wickedly and I looked at both of them stunned. Shit!! Sleeping pills?? But how??Wait!! That milk she gave us. I was going to drink it when I felt it smelled really different and that's why we didn't drink it. And wait!! If she gave sleeping pills to everyone then how the hell Arjun and I are awake?? Are we immune to sleeping pills?? I looked at the lady confused.

Anshuman: Good. Now we can do what we planned. This is the best time to kill the heirs of Devgarh and Jaigarh Estate.

That man said with a wicked smile. Though its night but I can see his face clearly due to full moon. I know he is the Prince of Raigarh Estate. Prince Anshuman Singh. They are trying to kill Uday and Manyata? I have to inform this to Arjun. We have to do something really fast. Suddenly my phone flashed. I looked at my phone thanking my stars that I already put it on silent. I picked up the call.

Riya: Arjun!!

I said his name tensed. I just hope he is fine.

Arjun: He just went to his quarters.

Arjun said in a frustrated voice. That means Maharaj Ji was planted in the palace just to confuse us.

Riya: Dai Ma came to the Prince of a neighbouring state of Devgarh and Jaigarh. He wants to kill Manyata and Udayveer.

I whispered on the phone and I heard Arjun gasp.

Arjun: Where are you??

He asked in an urgent voice. I told him the place and how to reach here.

Arjun: Stay there. I am coming.

He said and cut the call. I looked at both of the persons in front of me. They were talking about someone from the palace. That means someone from the family is definitely involved. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to see Arjun beside me. I looked ahead only to see the man going back.

Arjun: You saw the person??

Arjun asked looking at me tensed.

Riya: Yes!! He is the Prince of neighbouring Estate of Devgarh. But we don't have proofs Arjun. And someone else apart from Dai Ma is helping him otherwise he could never steal the crown.

I told him and he nodded thinking something. I don't know what to do right now. I know Dai Ma gave sleeping pills to everyone but we have to try and wake up at least Uday and Manyata. We have to save their lives. I told Arjun about the sleeping pills.

Arjun: You are right. Let's leave from here right now. We have to talk to Uday right now. Thank god we didn't drink that milk.

He said sighing somewhat relaxed. He is right. We have to talk to Udayveer.

Riya: I felt something fishy when Dai Ma gave that milk.

I told him and he nodded looking at me smiling somewhat.

Arjun: Thanks for warning me.

I nodded and we both left for the palace trying to reach there before that Dai Ma. We can't afford any mistake right now.

We both knocked at Uday's door repeatedly. God!! Did he drink the milk too?? How will we wake him up. We were just going to try for the back window when we heard his door open. We both looked towards the door stunned.

Udayveer: What??

Uday stood there rubbing his eyes. I sighed relaxing finally.

Arjun: Veer?? You are awake??

Arjun looked at Uday excited. Thank god!! He is awake.

Udayveer: No. I was sleeping yaar.

Uday looked at both of us frowning. We both came inside his room and he shut the door.

Riya: You didn't drink the milk Dai Ma gave you??

I asked him curiously. I looked at the glass. It's empty. Then how is he awake??

Udayveer: No. I hate milk. So I just poured that milk into a flower pot.

He said indicating towards the flower pot in his room.

Arjun: Look Veer yours and Manyata's life is in danger.

Arjun said to Uday and suddenly Uday's whole stance changed. He looked at both of us alert.

Udayveer: What happened??

He asked in a stern tone. I know PRINCE UDAYVEER SINGH is here.

Riya: Your Dai Ma was talking to your neighbouring Prince about killing you and Manyata. And I am sure someone from your family is helping him.

I told him and he looked at me stunned for some time. Then he looked as if he is thinking something.

Udayveer: Shit!!

Suddenly he swore and looked at us wide eyed. Now what happened??

Riya: What??

I asked him baffled. I can see something is wrong.

Udayveer: Princess drank the milk.

Uday said looking at us panicked. Oh shit!! This is not good.

Arjun: And our team??

Arjun said looking at me tensed. Oh freak!! I totally forgot about them.

Riya: Let's see them. Uday, you check Manyata.

I said to Arjun and then looked at Uday.

Udayveer: Okay!!

He nodded and ran to Manyata's room. I know he will enter the room anyhow. Cause he has the keys to Manyata's room. I went with Arjun towards the rooms where our team is staying. No one opened the door.

Arjun: Shit!! No one is awake.

Arjun looked at me tensed. What the hell man!!

Riya: Now what??

I asked from him tensed.

Arjun: We have to make sure Manyata is safe. And let's see who else is awake.

He said indicating towards the private quarters of family members. I know what he wanted to find out. The one who is awake from this family would be the one who is planning all this with that Prince.

Arjun looked behind me as if she is stunned. I turned back only to see Uday coming towards us with Manyata in his arms.

Riya: Uday??

I looked at him confused. I can clearly see that Manyata is asleep.

Udayveer: She is not waking up. She is in sleep.

Uday said looking at Manyata tensed. Shit!! Wait!! No one knows which room Manyata gave us. That means she will be safe in our room.

Riya: Take her to our room. We will see who else is awake.

I told to Uday and indicated towards our temporary room. Uday nodded and he laid down Manyata on the bed.

Udayveer: I will come with you too.

I nodded at him and we all came out locking the door from outside. We all searched the room only to see a room's light is still on.

We all went towards the room and hide behind the pillar. We can clearly see that old lady there. And she is talking to a woman.

Udayveer: Dai Ma??

Uday asked looking at Dai Ma tensed.

Arjun: Hmm.

Arjun nodded and we waited for the lady to came out. I know this is a guest room. And we can't tell who is inside with Dai Ma till we listen or saw anything. We all came towards the window and bend down. As the window is open, we can clearly listen what they are talking about.

***********************************************************************************************

We all are bending down beside the window hearing anything the person with Dai Ma say. Finally we heard something.

Menka: Finally you are here. Everything done??

Another lady?? But wait!! This voice is familiar. I looked at Uday stunned. This is Manyata's Bua. Uday is hearing the voice as if he is in a trance. Shit!! That means she is the one who is helping that Prince.

Dai Ma: Yes. Everything is fine. And everyone is asleep. We can do our work now.

Dai Ma said in an evil voice. Thank god we shifted Manyata from there.

Menka: Good!! You go to Manyata's room and I will go to Udayveer's room.

Manyata's Bua said and we all became alert. That means they both will attack at the same time.

Dai Ma: Okay.

Dai Ma nodded and went towards Manyata's room. Oh shit!! Uday has to be in his room if we want to catch Bua Sa red handed. I dragged Uday towards the room Riya and I are occupying temporarily. All three of us came inside the room closing the door. Uday sat in the bed beside Manyata tensed.

Udayveer: Bua Sa?? But why is she doing that??

He said with tears in his eyes. I know Manyata trusts her family very much. And to think that one of them wants to kill you.

Arjun: Only she can tell that. You go to your room fast.

I said to him sternly and he looked at Manyata as if he is trying to decide what to do.

Udayveer: Take care of Manyata.

Then he looked at both of us sternly.

Riya: Don't worry. Arjun you go with Uday. I will be here.

Riya said looking at me and Uday. She is right. Its better if I would be with Uday. Riya can handle that Dai Ma easily.

Arjun: Hmm. Stay alert Riya.

I looked at her tensed. I know she can handle it but still I am feeling really nervous. Don't know why??

Riya: Okay.

She nodded smiling slightly and I came out with Uday. We both entered Uday's room from back window and I laid down on the bed pulling the comforter over my head. Uday went inside washroom with his revolver, and I grabbed the revolver tightly in my hand. I heard front door of the room open and I can clearly hear the footsteps coming in the room.

Menka: I am sorry Uday. But you have to die. Otherwise how will Vijayendra become the King??

That lady said sitting beside me and stroked my head from outside the blanket. Oh!! That's why she is trying to kill Uday. So typical. Suddenly I heard washroom's door open and then the room lightened up. I heard Bua Sa gasp and I pulled off the comforter and pointed my gun towards her.

Udayveer: Why so hurry Bua Sa??

Uday said looking at Bua Sa smirking. One down one to go.

Menka: No!! This can't happen.

She looked at both of us in horror. Suddenly she started laughing like a maniac. Uday looked at her confused. I looked at her raising my eyebrow. Did she became mad??

Menka: You can't save your Manyata. She will die today.

She looked at Uday with a dangerous evilness in her eyes.

Udayveer: We will see Bua Sa.

Uday looked at Manyata's Bua with boring look. He put the gun on her head and told her to move ahead. Its better if we went to the guest room right now. Suddenly we all heard the gunshot coming from the guest room in which Riya and Manyata are staying. We all move towards the guest room fast. Manyata is no where to be seen and Riya is sitting beside the bed on the floor closing her eyes.

Arjun: Riya!!

I shouted and went towards her. For a minute I felt my breath stop looking at Riya like this. Uday grabbed Bua Sa's hand tightly and looked at Riya tensed.

Udayveer: Bhabhi Sa.

Uday called and Riya opened her eyes looking at us confused. I looked at her tensed and she get up looking everywhere.

Riya: Relax. I am fine.

She said and then started looking everywhere in the room. Finally she opened the wardrobe and pulled someone out. Dai Ma.

Udayveer: Guards??

Uday shouted and some men came inside.

Guards: Yes sir!!

They all shouted together and bowed down in front of Uday.

Udayveer: Tie both of them and make sure they remain like this till morning. I am tired now.

He said pushing both Dai Ma and Bua Sa towards them.

Guards: Yes sir!!

They all nodded and took both of them to a room which has no window and has only one door. They tied both of them in two different chairs.

Udayveer: Good night Bua Sa.

Uday said waving to Bua Sa. I shook my head amused.

Menka: I won't leave you Uday.

Bua Sa shouted looking at Uday angrily.

Udayveer: Try to save yourself first Bua Sa.

He said to Bua Sa with a deadly smirk. Then he looked at the guards with a stern look.

Udayveer: And yes tell Prince Anshuman to come here as soon as he can in the morning.

He ordered them with a hard look and everyone gulped.

Guards: Ok sir!!

They bowed and went out and we all came out too closing the door and locking it. Uday kept the keys with him.

We came to the guest room and Riya went towards the bed and bend down. Finally she pulled Manyata from beneath the bed. Uday picked up Manyata in his arms and looked at us.

Udayveer: Thank you guys!!

He said looking at us smiling gratefully.

Riya: No need Uday.

Riya said smiling softly. I know her hand is hurting cause she is continuously trying to touch her shoulder. She must have fell down. Still she didn't say anything to anyone. Stubborn woman.

Uday looked at the gun in Riya's hands amused.

Udayveer: Can you really shoot or this gun is just for show??

He asked looking at Riya teasing. I shook my head at him. She will start teaching him the lesson on women's ability right here right now.

Riya: Want to see??

She said looking at Uday with a harsh expression.

Udayveer: Relax. I was just kidding.

Uday grinned and left the room. He really behaves like an idiot sometimes. I looked at Riya and saw her rubbing her shoulder again. She sat on the bed wincing and closed her eyes.

I closed the door and picked up the first aid box from the side table. I sat beside her and touched her shoulder lightly. She winced and sat up looking at me tensed. I indicated towards her robe and she looked here and there.

Riya: I am fine!! Its not that bad.

She said smiling slightly. I rolled my eyes at her.

Arjun: Let me decide that??

I looked at her raising my eyebrows and she tensed. I know she is hurt badly.

Riya: But...

She was trying to deny when I gave her a stern look.

Arjun: Remove it Riya!!

I said to her sternly and she gulped and tried to remove the robe of her night dress but she suddenly winced. Wow!! and she said she is ok. I removed her robe only to see her shoulder badly hurt. Her shoulder blade is blue and I know her wound must be hurting really bad.

Arjun: What the hell Riya!! Stay still.

I shifted her on the middle of the bed and made her lay down on the bed.

Riya: But I am fine.

She looked at me tensed. Does she has to object about every single thing??

Arjun: Ya I can see how fine you are. Idiot!!

I looked at her sternly and she looked down. I took the ointment and put it on her wound. She winced and I started blowing air from my mouth rubbing the balm on her shoulder softly. She sighed relaxing after some time.

I put the first aid kit on the side table and laid down on the other side of the bed. I looked towards Riya only to see her looking at me frowning.

Arjun: What happened??

I asked her raising my eyebrows.

Riya: Thank you.

She said with a soft look in her eyes. For the first time I saw the same Riya in her eyes which I was used to seeing 3 years ago.

Arjun: For what??

I asked her confused. And she smiled looking down. Wait!! Is she blushing?? I smiled looking at her.

Arjun: Sleep. Okay.

I told her softly and she nodded in yes and closed her eyes. I closed my eyes finally drifting off to sleep.

I got up hearing Riya's wincing. I looked at the clock and its 6 am. I looked at her only to see her sleeping on her injured shoulder. Oh god!! This girl. I turned her towards me and she hugged me suddenly. Her wound is looking bad again and she is frowning as if she is in pain. I sighed and pulled her towards me by her waist. I rubbed her shoulder and blowed at it softly. I know she never says but from the last 3 years she is living as a recluse.

I know she craved for attention, love and her old life. Full of joy and colors. I know she want to go back to old days. And I know that if I want to bring back the old Riya, I have to bring back old Arjun. The Arjun Rawte who died the same day as Roshni, has to come back for Riya. I smiled slightly looking at her, and closed my eyes feeling peace after so many years. I know I am moving on and I don't feel guilty about it. I know this is what Rosh wants.

***********************************************************************************************

I opened my eyes feeling as if someone is hitting my head with a hammer. What the hell is going on?? Why I am feeling like this?? I sat up only to see Uday sitting beside me and looking at me tensed.

Manyata: Uday?? What's going on??

I asked him tensed. He is too stiff to be normal.

Udayveer: Princess!! Thank god you are up.

He sighed relaxed and hugged me tightly.

Manyata: What happened??

I asked him scared to listen what he will say. Cause I have a very bad feeling that something big happened last night after I slept.

Udayveer: Dai Ma mixed sleeping pills in everyone's milk last night. Thank god I didn't drink that. And even Arjun and Riya felt something fishy so they didn't drink it too.

Uday said looking down sadly and I looked at him in horror. What the hell!! How can Dai Ma do all this?? And I can tell from Uday's face that something else happened which I still don't know.

Manyata: Something happened last night, right??

I asked him scared, and he nodded in yes. Suddenly he got up from the bed and looked at me with blank face.

Udayveer: Hmm. You go and freshen up fast. I will see to other members.

He said smiling slightly and kissed my forehead.

Manyata: Okay.

I nodded and got up from my bed. He left the room and I went to get ready.

I came down after sometime only to see everyone present in the hall. Even the Crown Prince of Raigarh. Yuvraj Anshuman Singh. I stood beside Uday and looked at the man in front of me. I really felt weird whenever he is around. He looks at me as if he will have me for dinner. Its so disgusting.

Anshuman: Khamma Ghani Yuvrani Manyata.

Anshuman said joining his hands and bowing down somewhat. I liked his Dad that's why he is allowed here otherwise I would have banned him from this Estate.

Manyata: Ghani Khamma Yuvraj Anshuman.

I said joining my hands but I didn't bow down. By the way why is he here, that too at this time??

Manyata: Uday?? What is he doing here??

I asked to Uday confused. He smiled looking at me secretly. Now what is he planning??

Udayveer: Nothing. He is going to join us in our royal entourage.

He said smiling. I looked at him stunned. Royal Entourage?? But we didn't have any royal entourage?? At least I didn't have such a program today. What the hell is going on??

Udayveer: Let's go everyone.

He said to everyone and we left in our cars and all our guests went to stand amongst the public. Finally the entourage ended and we all came down from our cars. We were just going towards the stage when suddenly Uday dragged Anshuman to the middle of everyone by his collar. What the!! I looked at him shocked.

Anshuman: Uday!!

Anshuman shouted looking at Uday angrily. I saw Arjun and Riya came and stand beside Uday.

Rajmata: What's going on here??

Dadi Sahab asked looking at Uday sternly. Uday looked at Anshuman with a devilish smile then looked at Dadi Sahab seriously.

Udayveer: Prince Anshuman Singh was the one who tried to brainwash our people against us, who stole Manyata's crown, who tried to kill both of us. This was HIS plan.

I heard several gasps along with mine. I know everyone standing here believed Uday. But why did Anshuman do all this?? Anshuman was just going to say something when Uday again started saying.

Udayveer: No need to open your filthy mouth Anshuman. I know what you want to say.

Uday glared at Anshuman and signaled something to guards. Now what is this?? Suddenly the guards came there with two people whose hands are tied behind their back. One is Dai Ma. And I looked at the other person shocked. No!! This is not true. This can't be true. BUA SA?? But WHY??

Udayveer: Bua Sa helped him in all this.

Uday said looking at Bua Sa disgusted. And Bua Sa is glaring at him angrily.

Vijayendra: Uday!! Do you even know what are you saying?? Why would Mom do all this??

Vijay Bhai shouted looking at Uday angrily. Even I can't believe Bua Sa did all this. I looked at Jai, and she is also looking at Bua Sa in horror.

Udayveer: Ask her yourself.

Uday said looking at Vijay Bhai as if he is bored. If Uday is this much confident, then that means he is telling the truth. But why did she do that?? I felt my eyes filled with tears.

Vijayendra: Mom!! Why are you all holding her like this. She is not a prisoner damn it. Leave her.

Vijay Bhai shouted at the guards and the guards looked down but didn't release Bua Sa.

Guard: I am sorry Prince Vijay but she tried to kill Yuvraj Sa last night. We caught her red handed.

The head guard said bowing down and Vijay Bhai looked at Bua Sa shocked. She tried to kill Uday?? I felt my breath stop hearing all this.

Vijayendra: Why Mom?? WHY??

Vijay Bhai shouted looking at Bua Sa angrily. She looked up at Vijay Bhai with tears and anger.

Menka: I wanted YOU to become the King of Devgarh Vijay. You deserve this all. You were the one who taught Manyata everything. And now she is going to be the Queen. No I can't tolerate all this.

She said looking at me in disgust. I felt more tears flowing from my eyes. I never thought she think all this about me. Someone put arms around my shoulder. I looked at my side only to see Jai hugging me sideways. She is crying too. We both considered Bua Sa as our second mother. And she did all this.

Vijayendra: I can't believe it Mom. She is my sister.

Vijay Bhai said coming towards me and hugging me sideways. Bua Sa snorted and looked away.

Jainandini: How cheap Bua Sa!!

Jai said looking at Bua Sa in disgust. Suddenly we all heard a loud sound of a slap. I looked ahead stunned only to see Dadi Sahab in front of Bua Sa.

Rajmata: Menka!! You disgraced us today.

Dadi Sahab said looking at Bua Sa with pain, anger and hurt in her eyes. Guards took both Bua Sa and Dai Ma with them. Then we all looked at the person who actually schemed all this.

Udayveer: Now about you Prince Anshuman. I challenge you in a competition of death.

Uday said looking at Anshuman with a blank stare. I looked at Uday in horror. What the hell is he doing?? Competition of death is a challenge two Crown Princes or Kings have when they are enemies. That means they both will fight till one of them is dead. And the winning Crown Prince or King will rule the dead one's Estate.

Manyata: UDAY NO!!

I shouted in horror. But then I looked at the smirk on Anshuman's face. And I know he is going to accept the challenge. I know Udayveer is a brilliant fighter, but I know Anshuman plays dirty. He doesn't fight fair. Honestly I have never seen Udayveer fight for death before, but I hope he knows what he is doing.

Anshuman: I accept your challenge Udayveer.

Anshuman said smirking and I saw a devilish glint enter in Uday's eyes. Oh shit!! The Crown Prince of Jaigarh is here. THE UDAYVEER SINGH, which everyone is afraid of. Now I know why no one is tensed about Uday. I love Uday, that's why I always forget, that Udayveer is no saint. He is a devil reincarnated.

They both went to get ready. Anshuman came to the battle field first and gave me a leering look. I glared at him and he grinned. I know he thinks that he can win Uday's Estate and me in this battle. But he doesn't know what will strike him. Udayveer Singh is a no fair man. He is a warrior and he knows how to fight.

Manyata: Uday!!

I hugged Uday and nodded at him. He went to the battle field and I prayed to God to keep him safe.

***********************************************************************************************

I looked at the fight in front of me in awe. My god!! This is just awesome. I never thought I would see a live sword fight of Rajputs. And that too of Crown Princes. And it is a fight of death. I can see Udayveer is just dodging Anshuman's strikes. He didn't strike even once in last 15 minutes.

No one here is looking tensed. That means they all know that Anshuman is no fight for Udayveer. I don't know why but I remember Arjun Sir's fighting technique while watching Udayveer. Arjun sir first watches the opponent's move then he counteract and defeats the opponent in just one strike. I am feeling as if Udayveer will do the same. He is not striking because he know he can kill Anshuman in just one strike. I looked at Arjun sir and he is looking at Riya tensed. Now what happened to him?? I looked at Riya only to see her wincing somewhat moving her shoulder. Did something happened to her yesterday?? Did she get hurt?? I hope not.

I looked ahead only to see one and final strike of Udayveer in which stabbed Anshuman and killed him. Udayveer shook his head disgusted and throws his sword. Wow!! He is fast. He went towards Arjun Sir and Riya and I went to them.

Chotu: God!! That was intense.

I said looking at Udayveer amazed and he just shrugged as if its nothing. Now I know they are not just simple Rajputs, they are trained to fight. Not only Uday but I am sure Manyata is trained too.

Manyata: Where is the crown ?

Manyata looked at everyone tensed. Oh yes!! We were here to find the crown. I know I am not as much intelligent as Arjun Sir and Rathore sir but I have always thought that I don't get affected by drugs that much. But last night I was asleep like a log. How much pills did that old day gave us??

Riya: In Vijay's room.

Riya said looking at Manyata seriously. I looked at Riya stunned. How did she knew that??

Everyone: WHAT!!

We all shouted together and she looked down sheepishly. So she was waiting for the culprit to come out. She had already found the crown. Riya became more intelligent and smart in last 3 years. I smiled looking at her.

Arjun: So finally everything is settled now.

Arjun Sir said looking at everyone and they all nodded.

Sameer: Hmm. And we have to go back.

Rathore sir said and I frowned at him. That means no marriage?? And no food?? What the hell yaar!!

Udayveer: But my marriage Jun??

Uday looked at Arjun Sir tensed.

Riya: Don't worry we will come for your marriage Uday. But we have some important case pending right now. So we have to go!!

Riya said to Uday with a beautiful smile. I looked at her shocked. Since when did she start smiling like this again?? I can see everyone is transfixed by her smile. Her smile is same as we saw 3 years ago everyday. That means we can get our old Riya back?? Yes we all want that bubbly and chirpy Riya back but a bit of this Riya will be good too. Strong, cunning and sharp.

Udayveer: Fine!!

Udayveer sighed somewhat sad. Suddenly Rajmata came towards us. I am still in awe of this lady. She doesn't look normal. She wears so much jewelry. Sometimes I felt as if she is a model who is auctioning the gold jewelry.

Rajmata: Thank you so much for helping us.

She said extending her hand towards Rathore sir.

Sameer: Its our work.

He said shaking Rajmata's hand and nodded at her. I looked towards Ayesha and she is looking at Rathore sir admiringly. Don't know what she sees in Rathore sir. How can any girl like or love a person who always keep shouting at small things?? I am still clueless about these girls of ETF. Riya liked Arjun Sir before. I can't say anything about her now. Sakshi liked Arjun Sir and Ayesha likes Rathore sir. I can't say anything about Lisa though.

We all started coming towards our room to pack our bags.

Shree: Sir?? We are solving Mr. Mehta's case next. Right??

Shree asked looking at Rathore sir curiously. Oh yes Mr. Mehta. God!! That case was really bad. We can't even find any details on that Mr. Mehta.

Sameer: Yes.

Rathore sir said and went to his room. We all went to our rooms to pack our luggage.

***********************************************************************************************

I was sitting in the back seat of the SUV with Riya and Chotu, Shree and Sakshi sat on the middle seat whereas Ayesha sat on the passenger seat beside Sam who was driving.

I am feeling like sleeping right now but I can't as I have to look after Riya's hand. I know her shoulder is paining a lot still she is just sitting with her eyes closed and is wincing after every 10 minutes.

Chotu: Sir?? We are not going to office??

Chotu asked confused. Then only I looked out to see that we are going towards our home.

Sameer: No!! DIG sir gave leave to everyone today. So enjoy!!

Sam said smiling slightly. Thank god!! At least Riya can rest. Finally Rathore stopped the SUV in front of our house and we both came out from SUV.

Riya: Rathore Sir? Ayesha? Come to our house after dropping Sakshi, Shree and Chotu. I have to talk to you both about something.

Riya said looking at Rathore seriously.

Ayesha: Okay.

Ayesha nodded at Riya and they all left. I know she wanted to tell Rathore about CD.

Arjun: About CD??

I asked looking at curiously.

Riya: Hmm.

She nodded and we both entered the house only to see Abhi sitting in the living room tensed.

Abhilash: Hey Arjun!! Riya!! Finally you both came home. I felt like killing someone. I was so bored here man. But I have to leave right now.

He said relaxing somewhat. He got up from the couch. Then only I saw the bag he kept beside him. What the hell!! Where is he going?? That too with luggage??

Riya: Where are you going??

Riya asked looking at Abhi confused.

Abhilash: Actually I have to leave for Kolkata right away.

He said somewhat tensed. Kolkata??

Arjun: Kolkata?? What's so urgent Abhi??

I asked him and he sighed as if trying to relax himself. What happened that he have to rush to Kolkata??

Abhilash: I had started the process of opening our parents' case. So I have to go back there for proceedings, so that I can appeal to shut this case.

He said looking at Riya sadly.

Riya: Fine!! Enjoy your trip.

Riya said softly and went to our room. I hugged Abhi and he left as the taxi he called was waiting for him.

***********************************************************************************************

I dropped Sakshi and turned my car towards Arjun's house. Don't know what Riya want to talk about. But I know it must be something important. I looked at the person sitting beside me. She is really tensed about why Riya called us.

Finally we reached Arjun's home after half an hour. I rang the bell and Arjun opened the door after 2 minutes.

Arjun: Rathore!! Ayesha!! Please come in.

We both came inside and Arjun closed the door. I looked everywhere but Riya is nowhere to be seen.

Sameer: Why did Riya called us??

I looked at Arjun curiously but he didn't said anything.

Arjun: She just went to change. You both have a seat.

Arjun said indicating towards living room and we both nodded. We both sat on the couch while Arjun went to kitchen. He came out with four cups of coffee after sometime. I know Arjun doesn't drink coffee normally. So it must be something really serious if he is drinking coffee too.

Finally Riya came out and sat on the couch beside Arjun.

Sameer: So?? What do you want to tell us??

I asked Riya curiously. I don't know why but I am feeling nervous suddenly.

Riya: Nothing. Just want to give you this.

She said extending a CD towards me. What?? She called me here to give a CD??

Sameer: CD??

I looked at her confused and she nodded.

Riya: Play it.

She said indicating towards the CD and I nodded at her. I put the CD in the CD player and Riya switched it on. I looked at the video stunned and I felt my breath stopped. What the hell!! Roshni??

Roshni (in video): Sam!!

She said with a beautiful smile on her face. I can't believe I am hearing her voice again. I looked at Arjun and he is looking at the screen smiling. He is smiling??

Sameer: Rosh!!

I whispered looking at the screen transfixed. I don't know what to say.

Sameer: How??

I looked at Riya confused but she just smiled and indicated towards the screen. I heard Rosh's voice again and looked at the screen.

Roshni (in video): You know I love you right?? I love you as a brother, as a best friend. But I know I don't have much time left. You will think how do I know all this?? I don't know what to say. Just intuition. But I am sure something bad is going to happen to us. I just want to request something from you Sam. Be with my Arjun. Always. I know he shuts everyone out when he is in pain. Try anything but bring him out. Please be with him always.

She said with tears in her eyes and I looked at the screen stunned. What is going on?? How can she know that she is leaving us?? And I don't know what to say about her wish of me being with Arjun always. I know Arjun did shut me out, but I didn't try enough. I left him when he needed me the most. I felt like an idiot right now.

Roshni (in video): I know Sam you are very loyal. But promise me Sam, you will be with Arjun, even when whole world will be against him. Please Sam. He will need you. I know you both are best buddies. But I have an intuition that something bad is going to happen to all of us. And tell Arjun to move on from me. I can't be with him always. If I survive then you won't need this CD. But If I don't survive then I will make sure you get these CDs. Goodbye Sam!!

She said smiling softly and then the screen went blank. We all sat silent for sometime. I don't know what to say. From where did they get this CD?? I felt my eyes tearing up. I failed her. I failed our friendship.

Sameer: Rosh!! I am sorry!!

I said closing my eyes feeling guilt, hurt and pain all together.

Riya: Ayesha!! Come I want to tell you something.

I heard Riya and I felt Ayesha get up from beside me. I heard their footsteps going away. But I didn't open my eyes. After sometime I opened my eyes and looked down. I know Arjun is still sitting beside me.

Sameer: You know what?? I am an idiot!!

I said to Arjun with a disgusted tone. I am disgusted with myself. Even Riya trusted Arjun when she met him for the first time, and I was his friend, yet I didn't trust him.

Arjun: That you are.

Arjun said in a blank tone. I looked at him only to see him drinking coffee as if we were talking about something very normal. As if nothing is wrong here.

Sameer: I am a very bad friend. I was hurt. I have lost my best friend.

I said looking down again. I don't have the strength to meet his eyes. Arjun took a deep breath and put the cup down on the table.

Arjun: And I lost my best friend, wife, and my lover all in just one day.

He said in a painful voice. I felt my breath stopped. He is right. He lost everything in just one day. And his parents are not with him.

Sameer: I don't deserve your friendship.

I said with a heavy heart. I don't know if he can forgive me.

Arjun: Yes. You don't .

He said shrugging and I looked at him stunned. I have to tell him what actually was in my mind at that time.

Sameer: You know I wasn't actually angry on you. I was angry on myself. It was my fault that Rosh died. If only I listened to you that day. Then Roshni would have been here.

I told him closing my eyes. I felt tears continuously flowing out from my eyes.

Arjun: Its of no use now Sameer. Everything is over. Roshni's life is over. Her role in our lives is over.

He said in a peaceful tone. I looked at him and its as if he has accepted that Rosh can't come back ever. There isn't even a trace of his restlessness in his eyes.

Sameer: How can you be so calm about all this??

I asked looking at him bewildered.

Arjun: You know Sam, I can't even feel her here anymore. Its as if she was never with me. Her memories are here with me, but I accepted that she is not alive anymore. She can't come back. She never belonged to me.

He said indicating towards his heart. So he has accepted Rosh's death. Its good for him. He is right. Rosh can't come back to him ever. But I can, if only he accept me back.

Sameer: Can I come back??

I looked at him nervously. He sat without saying anything as if he is thinking something.

Arjun: Depends!!

He said looking at me seriously after sometime.

Sameer: On what??

I asked him excited.

Arjun: If you can still handle my mood swings.

He said smirking. Oh shit!! That means he is ready to bring back the old Arjun. Freak!! Everyone will get heart attack for sure. But I am no less than him. If he bring back the old Arjun, then I will be the old Sameer too. The mad bunch.

Sameer: Well I am not less than you.

I said to him smirking and we both grinned looking at each other. Finally I am feeling as if a huge burden is lifted off from my shoulders. Now I will never leave my Juno alone. And I don't even know how to thank Riya.

Sameer: I am sorry Juno.

I said hugging him tightly.

Arjun: I am sorry too Sam.

He patted my back and we both broke the hug.

Arjun: Let's go!!

He said suddenly getting up. Now what happened to him??

Sameer: Where??

I asked him frowning.

Arjun: To my room. I am sure Riya and Ayesha are there.

He said shrugging and I got up too. We both went towards Arjun's room. Now I believe that everything will be fine very soon.

***********************************************************************************************

We both came to our room after touring the whole house. I looked at Ayesha and she is looking at our room in awe.

Riya: So?? Do you like our house??

I asked her somewhat excited. I don't know why but I feel as if something is going to change in her life very soon. Even I am feeling excited about my life. Why?? I don't know. Maybe because something is really changing. But I am feeling a positive vibe in me after so long.

Ayesha: Riya!! This is awesome.

Ayesha said looking at the room grinning.

Riya: Yes it has to be. We rejected 6 houses before this.

I told her shaking my head exasperated thinking about the day we selected this house.

Ayesha: Really??

She asked me stunned.

Riya: Hmm.

I nodded at her grinning. We both sat on the bed and she looked at me seriously.

Ayesha: So? What do you want to tell me?

She asked looking at me curiously. Well I didn't bring her here to tell her something. I just tried to give some privacy to Arjun and Rathore sir.

Riya: I just wanted to give some privacy to Arjun and Rathore Sir.

I told her and she nodded. Then she sat like that for sometime as if she is thinking something.

Ayesha: But why did you called me with Rathore sir??

She asked looking at me confused. Now is the right time to talk to her about Rathore Sir.

Riya: Ayesha, I know you are trying to run from your feelings. And I know that you like Rathore sir. So its important for you to know him.

I told her the reason why I called her with Rathore sir. I know if Rathore sir had any problem with her seeing Rosh's CD then he would have told Ayesha.

Ayesha: That...That's absolutely ridiculous. I..I don't feel anything for him.

She said moving towards the window. But I can clearly see the light blush on her cheeks.

Riya: Liar!!

I said to her softly and she looked down blushing more. I grinned looking at her.

Riya: Ayesha, Rathore sir likes you too.

I told her smiling and she looked at me shocked. What?? Can't she see that herself??

Ayesha: How..How can you be so sure??

She asked looking at me somewhat excited. And she says that she doesn't feel anything for him.

Riya: His eyes are not that hard to read Ayesha. His eyes softens whenever you are around. His eyes reflects pain when your eyes have tears.

I told her what I observed in the eyes of Rathore sir, the day I told Ayesha about her sister. Suddenly we heard footsteps coming towards our room. We looked towards the door only to see Arjun and Rathore sir coming in the room. Rathore sir looked at the room stunned.

Riya: Everything sorted??

I asked looking at Arjun . His eyes are shining too much.

Arjun: I guess so!!

He said shrugging but I can clearly see the smiles on both their faces.

Sameer: So?? Can you tell us more about Ayesha's sister??

Rathore sir draw the chair in front of the bed and sat on it. Arjun sat on the arm of the chair. I sat on the bed beside Ayesha. I opened my bag and gave a photo to everyone and started telling them about Riddhi.

Riya: Riddhi Kapoor!! A beautiful, hard working and passionate woman, a crime journalist by profession. She is the person who revealed the black businesses of many high profile business men. So many people are her enemies and many people are scared of her.

I told them in a blank tone. I can really see how proud Ayesha feels about her sister. I really respect her too. Not everyone can fight against crime and that too with such spirit. I know everyone thinks that she is dead, but she is alive. And I have a doubt that Ayesha knows it too. That's why she came to Mumbai to search for her sister.

Sameer: When did she came to Mumbai??

Rathore sir looked at Ayesha curiously.

Ayesha: Four years ago. She gained a name among elite people because of her honesty and hard work.

Ayesha said smiling slightly. I can see a soft smile on Rathore sir's face too. I looked at Arjun only to see him looking at Rathore sir amused. Suddenly Ayesha face changed into a serious one.

Ayesha: Riya?? You said that she is with Adil Sheikh?? How did you know??

She asked looking at me curiously. Okay!! When did I said that her sister is with Adil Sheikh?? I just said that Adil Sheikh is the reason for her abduction.

Riya: She is not with Adil Sheikh.

I told her sighing somewhat sad.

Ayesha: But you said...

She started saying looking at me in panic. But she has to control herself. So I cut her sentence in mid.

Riya: Yes he is our target. Cause only he knows where she is. Adil Sheikh is involved in women trafficking..

I told them and they all looked at me stunned.

Arjun: And he did that to her??

Arjun asked looking at me seriously. I don't actually know if that Adil Sheikh succeeded or not but yes he did try to do this with Riddhi. In fact that was what he wanted to do with Sakshi too.

Riya: He tried that with Sakshi too. But Sakshi's Baba saved her. But no one was there for Riddhi. Riddhi is not dead that much I know. But I don't know how much changed she is.

I told them looking at Ayesha with a sorry expression. Ayesha started crying looking at the pic. Rathore sir sat beside her and put his arm around Ayesha.

Sameer: Ayesha!! Stop crying. Your sister is not a weak person. She is strong. I am sure she is fine.

He said looking at her with a reassuring look.

Arjun: You are right. Now we have to try and bring this case to ETF.

Arjun looked at Rathore sir sternly and he nodded.

Sameer: Leave that to me. I will handle this. Adil Sheikh's case will be handled by ETF only. I promise.

He said looking at all of us. Thank god!! We all need that. But as far as I know CBI is handling this case from last 2 years. And they are still not able to find him. That Adil Sheikh is underground right now.

Sameer: Let's go now.

Rathore sir said and Ayesha nodded at him. We went to send them off to the SUV.

Riya: Okay. Bye.

I said to Ayesha hugging her and she hugged me tightly too. I know right now she is feeling really sad. But I am sure she will find her sister.

They both left from there and we went inside. What to do now?? Suddenly my phone rang. I looked at the ID only to see Shree calling. I picked up the phone.

Riya: Hey Shree!!

I said excited. I know he will find something to do today.

Shree: Rii!! Where are you??

He asked as if he is grinning.

Riya: At my home. Why??

I asked him suspiciously. Why is he grinning??

Shree: Want to do some shopping??

He asked in an excited tone. Shopping?? Wow!! Why didn't I think about that before??

Riya: That's great!! Send me the address.

I told him excited.

Shree: Ok. Meet us there in 30 minutes.

He said and cut the call. Finally shopping. I turned only to see Arjun looking at me confused. Oops!! I totally forgot about him.

Arjun: Where are you going??

He asked looking at me suspiciously.

Riya: Shopping. You coming??

I asked looking at him curiously.

Arjun: Shopping? And me?

He looked at me as if I have lost my mind. I shrugged and went to our room to bring my bag. I came down only to see Arjun still standing there frowning.

Riya: Okay then stay here I am leaving.

I said to him and was just going towards the door when he shouted suddenly.

Arjun: Hey hold on!! What will I do here alone??

I turned around only to see Arjun looking at me bewildered.

Riya: Talk to yourself??

I asked him not knowing what to say.

Arjun: Very funny Riya!!

He looked at me as if I have gone mad. I shrugged nonchalantly. I don't know what to say.

Arjun: I am coming too. But I am warning you I am not going to hold your bags.

He said looking at me in warning. I grinned looking at him. I know he will pick up the bags knowing my shoulder is hurt.

Riya: We will see ACP Rawte.

I smirked coming out from the house and sat on the SUV. He locked the house and started the SUV. Finally I am going to do something normal. Like shopping!! I am so excited.

***********************************************************************************************

I don't know what to do. I know I can save myself and go out from here but what about all the girls. If not for these girls I would have killed Adil Sheikh years ago. I was feeling dehydrated right now. They kept me there with those girls without food and water. I felt weak and dirty. My whole clothes are torn from various places. I saved myself but I was not able to save two girls. I am feeling disgusted right now.

I was hiding behind a pillar trying to decipher where to go. Suddenly I felt someone put a gun on my head. I felt my breath stopped. No!! I can't lose this battle. Not now. I tried to run but suddenly he shouted.

Abhilash: Don't move!!

I stopped in my tracks hearing his voice. I gulped nervously. Damn it!! I can't lose now. I turned around tensed only to see a man in his late twenties. He is not looking like any man I have seen before. That means he doesn't belongs to Adil's gang. Then who is he??

Riddhi: Who...Who are you??

I asked him nervously. He looked at me raising his eyebrows. Then he put his hand on the trigger of his gun and I gulped nervously. I have fought with too many persons and I know I can fight him too. But he doesn't look like a criminal.

Abhilash: CBI officer Abhilash Mukherjee. What are you doing here??

He asked with a angry look. CBI officer?? Thank god!! I sighed finally relaxing. He looked at me confused.

Riddhi: I am Riddhi. Riddhi Kapoor. I...I was running...

I said to him trying to make him understand that I can help him but he cut me in the between.

Abhilash: I can see that.

He said indicated towards my look. Its not my fault that they tried to sell me. Suddenly I heard someone's footsteps and I hide behind an empty drum. This godown is full of such drums. They all use such drums in the smuggling of girls.

Riddhi: Shit!!

I cursed feeling somewhat scared for the first time in my life. Adil got to know that I was betraying him and now if he catch me then I am sure he will kill me in a heartbeat. Someone put his hand on my shoulder and I looked up startled only to see the same man, and I sighed in relief. I came out from behind that drum.

Abhilash: Who are they??

He asked indicating towards the direction they all ran to.

Riddhi: Adil's men!! They won't leave me.

I told him panicking. I don't know what to do. I will be dead even before I can see my sister. I felt tears welling up in my eyes.

Abhilash: Hey just relax. Wait!! Adil?? As in Adil Sheikh??

He asked looking at me stunned.

Riddhi: Yes.

I said softly. He gave his jacket to me and I thanked him silently.

Abhilash: Damn!! Come with me!!

He said and I went with him. He looked frustrated. What happened to him?? We both went towards an SUV which belongs to a CBI officer, I can see that clearly as the SUV has CBI logo.

Abhilash: Kanav!!

Abhilash shouted and another man came out from hiding. That means whole CBI team is here??

Kanav: Yes sir??

That man, Kanav, looked at me confused.

Abhilash: Cover the whole godown. There are girls in there.

Abhilash said to Kanav sternly and then Kanav looked at me horrified. I am sure he is thinking that I am one of the girls.

Kanav: Yes sir!!

Kanav nodded at Abhilash and ran inside. I am sure more members of his team are inside. Abhilash opened the passenger door of his SUV and signaled me to sit. I sat in the SUV silently. I don't have any option right now besides taking his help.

Abhilash: Stay here only. Don't move.

He said in a stern voice. And I looked at him shocked. Oh god!! Does he has to use his officer's voice on me??

Riddhi: O...Okay!!

I looked down gulping nervously. He sighed as if he is tired.

Abhilash: Don't worry this car is bullet proof. No one can come inside it. I am locking it from outside. Keep the door glasses up.

He said softly and I looked at him nervously. I nodded and he closed the door. I sat there resting my head on the headrest and closed my eyes. I know they all will save those girls. I just hope they will be able to catch that bas***d. Suddenly I felt tired and lost. I know my whole family thinks that I am dead, and they are not even trying to find out what happened with me. I don't know if I can meet my family again or not. But I know I will do anything to put that bas***d behind the bars.

***********************************************************************************************

I came inside the godown leaving the girl in my car. She said her name is Riddhi Kapoor. I don't know why but I felt as if I have heard this name before. Where and when ??

Kanav: Sir?? We covered all the area!!

Kanav said looking at me seriously.

Abhilash: Let's move in but be careful.

I ordered and I started moving in looking everywhere. I just hope we are not too late.

Everyone: Yes Sir!!

Everyone shouted and followed me. I looked at Purvi who is standing at another entrance of the godown. I went to her.

Abhilash: Purvi?? You called for backup?

I asked her sternly.

Purvi: I did sir. They almost reached here.

She said nodding at me seriously. I just hope they will reach on time.

Abhilash: Fine then. Stay here only. Come inside only with them.

I ordered her and she nodded in yes.

Purvi: Ok sir!!

I went inside with my team and we finally released all the girls. I looked at the man who is running away. I ran behind him and ordered my team to take the girls out.

Abhilash: Don't move!!

I shouted pointing my gun at the person in front of me. I know this is the second time I am in front of this bas***d. And this time he can't escape.

Adil: You really think you can catch me??

Adil asked looking at me devilishly. No!! Not this time .

Abhilash: I have already caught you Adil.

I looked at him narrowing my eyes. He started laughing and threw the tear gas ball at me.

Abhilash: Bloody hell!!

I shouted trying to see anything in the fog ahead of me, but I just heard that bas***d's voice.

Adil: See you again ACP.

He said and I sat there feeling suffocating. After sometime I heard some footsteps behind me. I opened my eyes and saw the empty place.

Kanav: Sir we lost him again.

Kanav said looking at me tensed. I know this is not good for us.

Abhilash: I know but atleast we save all the girls. We have to find proofs against him.

I said to them frustated. I felt like killing someone right now. I have to calm myself down. I came here for my family's case but when I reached here he commissioner here told me that they found a lead about Adil Sheikh. And as my team is handling the case they gave that lead to us and I had to come here.

Abhilash: Let's go everyone. We will meet at the headquarters in Mumbai after 2 days.

I told them sternly and they all stood in attention.

Everyone: Yes sir!!

They all saluted and left from there. I went towards my SUV. I came and sat in the driver's seat trying to calm myself.

Riddhi: What...What happened there??

I looked beside me only to see that girl looking at me tensed.

Abhilash: Adil Sheikh ran away..Again!! Damn!!

I told her hitting the steering in frustration.

Riddhi: And...the girls??

She asked nervously. But what is she doing here?? She looks like a reputed person. How come she got trapped here??

Abhilash: They all are fine. But who are you?? I mean what are you doing here??

I asked her confused.

Riddhi: Adil Sheikh tried to sell me. But I fooled him. I was pretending to work for him from last 2 years.

She said shrugging as if its no big deal. Wait!! She was pretending to work for him?? Oh shit!!

Abhilash: But you were not working for him?? Wait!! That's how we all are getting leads on him from last 2 years??

I asked her stunned and she smiled slightly looking at my shocked face.

Riddhi: Exactly. I tried too many times but he saved himself each and every time. But this time he got to know that I was the one who gave leads to the police.

I told him sighing sadly. I shook my head and started driving the SUV towards my home. Its better if we talk in my home. We reached my family's home and I stopped the SUV in front of it.

The watchman opened the gate and I drove my car inside it. I love this home of ours but we can't live here. I love the new house Arjun and Riya purchased too. It is beautiful but this house have some memories of us.

Riddhi: Whose house is this??

Riddhi asked coming inside the house. I know she liked it. Her eyes are clearly admiring every corner.

Abhilash: Mine!!

I said shrugging and sat on the sofa trying to relax somewhat.

Riddhi: Your family??

Riddhi asked and I looked towards her. She is looking at a family photograph. But in this photograph the person is not me, its Abhimanyu.

Abhilash: Hmm.

I nodded at her trying not to think about their death.

Riddhi: Where are they??

She asked looking everywhere frowning.

Abhilash: Dead.

I said softly. She looked at me stunned.

Riddhi: WHAT?? How??

She asked sitting in front of me.

Abhilash: Shot dead!!

I said to her smiling somewhat. She looked at me in horror.

Riddhi: Everyone??

She asked softly. I took a deep breath trying not to think too much.

Abhilash: Hmm.

I looked down remembering Sikandar's death and a strange peace restored in my heart.

Riddhi: I am sorry!!

Riddhi said looking at me with sad eyes. Why is she sorry?? She doesn't have to feel sorry about me. Cause the person who was responsible for my family's death died even more horrific death than my family.

Abhilash: No need. We killed him and avenged our family already.

I said to her smiling slightly.

Riddhi: WE??

She looked at me confused. Oh yes!! Riya has no photos here. Her photos are hidden in Mom's closet. And some photos are in our house in Mumbai.

Abhilash: Me and my sister.

I told her smiling. I know time can heal every wound, and I know Riya will be back to her old self. She will take time, but she will be back.

Riddhi: But here is no picture of your sister.

She asked looking everywhere confused.

Abhilash: She is in Mumbai.

I told her and she nodded. Then she sat silent as if thinking about something.

Abhilash: And you are going with me to Mumbai after 2 days.

I told her sternly and she looked at me baffled.

Riddhi: Fine!! But why??

She asked in a tensed voice.

Abhilash: You are the prime witness.

I told her shrugging nonchalantly. But still I am feeling as if I have heard her name before. But where??

Abhilash: So who are you exactly??

I asked looking at her curiously.

Riddhi: Ever heard about a crime journalist named Riddhi Kapoor??

She asked looking at me amused. Okay!! What's amusing in it?? That journalist was already dead. Wait!! Riddhi Kapoor?? I looked at her stunned.

Abhilash: Shit!! You were the one we were searching for.

I said to her grinning. Finally we have found the one we were looking for. But we were searching for her dead body and she is here in one piece. Fit and Fine. Suddenly my phone rang. Its Dustin Coelho, the commissioner, from Mumbai. Now what's the matter with him??

Abhilash: Hello??

I said picking up the phone.

Commissioner: Everything fine??

He asked in a stern tone. Did he called to ask this??

Abhilash: Yes Sir!!

I said confused. I am sure he wants to tell something else. But what??

Commissioner: I want to inform you that we had shifted Adil Sheikh's case to ETF.

He said sternly and I looked at the phone stunned.

Abhilash: What??

I said shocked. But why??

Commissioner: Yes!! Now they will handle the case.

He said giving me the order. I am still unable to comprehend what's wrong.

Abhilash: But sir why?? We will handle this case.

I said to him tensed. Why are they transferring the case??

Commissioner: No you will not. Rathore personally requested to shift this case to ETF so this case is officially shifted to ETF. Now handle everything you and your team have found about him to ETF.

He said in a stern tone. What the hell!! Rathore requested personally?? But why??

Abhilash: Okay.

I said and cut the call. I am still confused about why did Rathore interfered in my case??

Riddhi: What happened??

Riddhi asked and I looked at her. She is looking at me confused.

Abhilash: This case is transferred to ETF.

I told her sighing irritated.

Riddhi: Why??

She asked looking at me curiously.

Abhilash: ETF chief requested commissioner sir for it and they need to solve this case urgently.

I told her shrugging. But I have to know the real truth behind all this.

Riddhi: I have to find my sister too.

Riddhi said looking down tensed. Wait!! Sister??

Abhilash: Your sister??

I looked at her baffled.

Riddhi: Hmm.

She nodded sadly. I sighed trying to relax myself.

Abhilash: Okay let's have some rest first.

I told her and shown a guest room to her. I went to Abhimanyu's room and laid down closing my eyes. I have to go to court tomorrow again. I have to close this matter here as soon as possible.

Riya: Hey guys!!

Riya shouted and I flinched at her tone. Does she has to shout this loud?? What the hell is wrong with her today?? No wait!! I forgot . The Riya I was living with was the side effect of whatever happened in her life. Now as she started to revert back to her old self. She will be this loud. Man!! How will I spend my whole life with this loudspeaker??

Suddenly Shree looked at me and his eyes widened.

Shree: Hello Sir!!

He said looking at me sheepishly and everyone looked at me stunned. I know I don't go with them for anything but I was alone in the house. They all still looked towards parking as if they are waiting for someone else.

Riya: Who are we waiting for??

Riya asked looking at everyone curiously.

Sakshi: Ayesha!!

Sakshi said smiling to Riya. I shook my head looking at Sakshi. I looked towards the parking lot only to see Ayesha coming out from Sam's car. So the chief is here too?? That too with Ayesha?? Interesting.

Arjun: And Sameer.

I said to them smirking. They all looked at me as if I have grown two heads overnight.

Chotu: No sir we didn't call Rathore Sir.

Chotu said looking at me tensed. I really want to laugh looking at their faces right now.

Arjun: Really?? Look ahead.

I said to them innocently. They all turned towards the parking lot only to have their eyes bulged out. I controlled my laugh somehow looking at their faces.

Sameer: Juno?? You here??

Sam said looking at me confused. And everyone besides Riya and Ayesha are looking at us stunned.

Arjun: I was getting bored.

I shrugged looking at Sam nonchalantly and he nodded.

Lisa: Let's go guys!!

Lisa said looking at everyone and we all entered in the mall. We all went to ladies section first. I know they all will take forever. So I sat on the sofa there and Sam sat beside me. He is continuously staring at Ayesha. Man!! He is bowled out. I can see that clearly. I grinned looking at him. I saw Shree and Chotu coming towards us. They both sat beside us with a sad face.

Arjun: What happened to you both??

I asked them amused. Where are the girls by the way??

Shree: They went to change.

Shree said indicating towards the changing rooms. Oh that why they are here.

Chotu: And there is nothing to eat.

Chotu said looking at the packet of chips a child is having. We all looked at him exasperated. He is mad. Suddenly they all came out and I looked at Riya stunned.

She is looking stunning but I am looking at her with blank face. She came towards us and Chotu whistled looking at her.

Arjun: What are you wearing??

I looked at her frowning. She looked at me tensed as if she is waiting for the death sentence. Right now I wanted to laugh really bad but I have to control.

Riya: What's wrong in it??

She looked at the dress frowning. I know she really liked the dress. Ayesha came towards us.

Arjun: Riya!! This color is really looking bad on you.

I said looking at her with the expressions as if she is looking bad.

Ayesha: But sir...

Ayesha looked at me confused but I cut her in between.

Arjun: Try something else.

I said dismissing her and Riya started making faces. But she went to the dress section to select the dresses. I went behind her. I know she will select the dresses just like she already has.

I selected some dresses and gave her and indicated for her to wear. She looked at the dresses smiling weirdly. I know she doesn't wear this type of dresses, but I know it will look good on her.

She came out wearing the first one and I shook my head in no. She went inside and changed to the second dress. I again refused looking at her. I keep on saying this till she tried the last dress. Honestly, every dress looks good on her. I looked towards Sam only to see everyone looking at me with wide eyes.

She came out wearing the last dress and I sighed feigning as if I am sad. I shook my head in a no.

Riya: What the hell Arjun. This is the 8th dress I am trying. I really liked the 4th one.

She said looking at the blue dress with so much longing in her eyes that I felt really hard to control my laugh. I looked at the dress she is looking. Yes, she looked the best in it.

I had put the dresses which Riya tried away from all the other dresses.

Arjun: Let's go!!

I said grabbing her hand when she came out changing into her clothes. I know everyone is done here and they are waiting for us to finish.

Riya: But...

Riya said looking at the blue dress with a sad face. I think that's enough dose for today. I looked towards the sales girl who is looking at me baffled.

Arjun: Excuse me??

I called her towards me.

Salesgirl: Yes sir!!

She said looking at all the dresses in her hand. Each and every dress Riya tried is in her hand.

Arjun: Pack all these!!

I said to her indicating towards the dresses and she looked at me astonished. I heard everyone gasp. Well what to say. I am a really wealthy man so I can spend on my wife as much as I want.

Riya: What?? Arjun are you mad?? What will I do with them??

Riya said looking at the dresses in shock. I rolled my eyes and dragged her towards where everyone is standing.

Sakshi: Wow Riya!! You have won a lottery.

Sakshi said winking at Riya. I took all the bags from the counter and paid for the clothes.

Riya: He has gone mad.

Riya said glaring at me. I shrugged at her. We all came out from ladies section and went to gent's section. I sat on the couch with Sam and Shree and Chotu started looking at T-shirts. Suddenly Riya pulled me grabbing my arm. What the!!

Riya: Ok. Now its time for your shopping.

She said looking at all the shirts grinning. Shit!! No way!!

Arjun: I don't want anything Riya.

I said to her smiling slightly. I just want to run away from here. I know she will take her revenge.

Riya: But I promised you.

She said pouting. Wait!! When did she promised me??

Arjun: What??

I looked at her confused. What is she talking about??

Riya: That I will bring you a black shirt exactly same as the one I ruined. So I am going to buy at least 5 black shirts for you.

She said grinning at me wickedly. No!! No!! Absolutely not!!

Arjun: Riya. No!!

I shouted at her and she rolled her eyes at me.

Riya: Come on!!

She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the shirts section. Freaking hell!! I don't want any shirt. Damn!!

Arjun: Riya. I am going to send you back to research desk. You just wait and watch.

I said to her warning. She grabbed at least 10 shirts and threw them at me.

Riya: We will see ACP Rawte.

She winked and indicated towards the shirts. I groaned and went to the changing room. Why do I have to come shopping. This is just torture.

Finally the shopping is done and we all sat on a restaurant for dinner. I feel like we have purchased whole mall today. Man!! Who buys 6 shirts?? That too of same colour??

Shree: Arjun Sir!! What will you do with so much shirts??

Shree asked looking at me as if he is trying to control his laugh.

Arjun: Nothing. Just think that I am a vampire.

I said to him and they all looked at me clueless. Okay!! I have to make them understand.

Chotu: What??

Chotu looked at me as if I am talking in french.

Arjun: Yes. Cause now my office dress will be black shirt.

I said to them shrugging and glared at Riya. She just grinned looking at me.

Sameer: Arjun!! You should be thankful. She cares for you so much.

Sam said looking at me smirking. I looked at him narrowing my eyebrows. Wait till you get married. Then I will ask how much lucky you are.

Arjun: Ya!! Why not!! I care for her even more then. She loves sweets and now we will order sweets for her.

I said to them grinning and they all looked at me in awe. Well besides Riya who is glaring at me. I know she loves sweets and she can't say no to them. And right now she is trying to avoid sweets.

Sakshi: Wow Riya!! You are very lucky.

Sakshi said winking at Riya and she smiled gritting her teeth. I shook my head at her and we all started eating.

Finally we reached home at almost 10 pm. God!! I am tired right now.

Arjun: Finally!! Home sweet home!! I am so tired.

I said throwing all the bags in the couch of the living room and sat on the chair closing my eyes.

Riya: Let's sleep Arjun. We have office tomorrow.

Riya said and I opened my eyes to look at her. She already started to pick up our bags but I can see her shoulder is hurting as she is wincing. I shook my head at her stubbornness and picked up the bags. We both took our bags to our room and put it in our wardrobe without opening. We can arrange them later.

We both slept on our sides. Suddenly I felt some fog as if something is happening. I looked in front of me confused. What's going on??

Roshni: Arjun??

I saw Roshni standing in front of me with a beautiful smile on her face. What is she doing here??

Arjun: Rosh??

I looked at her puzzled.

Roshni: Thank you.

She said smiling softly. What the hell!! Why is she thanking me??

Arjun: For what?

I asked her baffled. What the hell is going on??

Roshni: For releasing me from your ties.

She said looking at me with a peaceful smile. But I still don't remember when did I released her from our ties?? I am really confused right now.

Arjun: But I didn't...

I was just going to deny when she spoke again.

Roshni: You did Arjun. When you accepted Riya in your life.

She said grinning. Okay!! And when exactly had that happened.

Arjun: When??

I asked her curiously. Its strange that I don't even feel the pain which I always felt whenever she talked about leaving me. Yes she is right that I accepted about her not coming back ever.

Roshni: Yesterday. Remember?? Unconsciously you promised Riya that you will move on with her .

She said smiling as if she has got her favorite candy.

Arjun: I said I will try.

I told her raising my eyebrows and she looked at me seriously.

Roshni: That's what I always wanted. Now I can be in peace knowing that you are in perfect hands ACP Rawte.

She said winking . Great!! Now she is actually leaving me with another girl. And wait did she called me ACP Rawte?? I grinned looking at her. Both these girls are so different yet their thinking is very similar.

Roshni: Now why are you grinning??

She asked looking at me frowning.

Arjun: Riya calls me that too.

I told her shrugging. She smiled again and started saying softly.

Roshni: I know. She is a beautiful soul Arjun. Only you can give her peace. Only you can bring her back from darkness. Bring her back to her old self Arjun and in the process bring yourself back too. And now its time for me to go back to my world Arjun. Good bye.

She said and kissed my forehead softly. She is right. Riya has to come back and may be Arjun will be back too. Suddenly I felt my breath quicken and I opened my eyes startled. I sat up and switched on the night lamp of my side. I looked everywhere only to realise I was dreaming. But why did it feel as if whatever happened was real?? Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder.

Riya: What happened??

I heard Riya's voice and looked at her. She is looking really tensed. I realised I am sweating, that too in an AC room.

Arjun: Nothing. Just nothing.

I said shaking my head in a no.

Riya: Arjun!! You look disturbed.

She said and gave me the glass of water. I drank the glass and looked at her. She is still looking somewhat hurt. That means her shoulder is not healed fully.

Arjun: You okay??

I asked looking at her shoulder tensed.

Riya: Yes!! I am absolutely fine. What happened Arjun?? Any bad dream??

She asked looking at me curiously. It was not a bad dream. Its more like as if I am taking a final step in moving on.

Arjun: No. Not bad. Just disturbing.

I told her smiling slightly and she nodded. We both slept switching off the night lamp.

***********************************************************************************************

I sat on my desk trying to find more information about Adil Sheikh, but is as is he is some A grade officer. I can't get anything about him. Suddenly I felt someone sitting beside me.

Sakshi: Hey Ayesha!!

I turned around only to look at Sakshi.

Ayesha: Hey Sakshi!!

I nodded at her and closed the work I was doing. Its of no use to search about him. I can't get anything on him. I looked at her tensed.

Sakshi: What happened??

She asked looking at me confused. Its better if she knows all this too. She is searching for the same man.

Ayesha: My sister is missing.

I told her sadly. She sat silent for some time as if she is thinking something. Then she looked at me as if she understood something.

Sakshi: Oh!! That's why you came to Mumbai. To find her??

She asked looking at me questioningly.

Ayesha: Hmm. And she is with Adil.

I nodded and told her with a blank face. She looked at me startled.

Sakshi: Adil Sheikh??

She asked in a perplexed tone.

Ayesha: Hmm.

I nodded and looked down. She put her hand on my shoulder.

Sakshi: Don't worry we will find that person and kill him. So that we both can be fine.

She said with a strange determination in her eyes. She is right. We have to find him and finish him. Once and for all.

Ayesha: You are right Sakshi. He has to die.

I said gritting my teeth. Suddenly we both heard Riya's cheerful voice.

Riya: Wow!! What a scene!! Everyone is talking about death and that too in the morning only.

She said in an excited voice and sat beside us. I shook my head at her.

Ayesha: Hey Riya!!

I said to her smiling.

Riya: Hii!!

She smiled and nodded at me.

Sakshi: Where is Arjun??

Sakshi asked looking towards the door. Riya looked at Sakshi raising her eyebrow.

Riya: With Rathore Sir.

She said then looked at both of us as if she is trying to search something. I know she will understand what we were talking about. As she is the one who told us about all this.

Riya: What happened to you both??

Riya asked looking at us curiously.

Sakshi: She told me about her sister.

Sakshi said looking at Riya seriously. Suddenly Riya smiled as if she has some good news. Now what??

Riya: Hmm. Rathore sir talked to commissioner and that case is now assigned to us.

She said winking at both of us. Wow!! That's brilliant. Finally we can handle all this officially.

Ayesha: Really??

I looked at her excited.

Riya: Hmm.

She nodded and grinned at us. I looked at Sakshi and we both smiled looking at each other. Now no one can save that Adil Sheikh. His days are numbered.

***********************************************************************************************

I was talking to Sakshi and Ayesha when Chotu, Lisa and Shree came there. Man!! Shree and Lisa have gone mad. They fight like kids. Yet they both are perfect in their works. That's why they are still here.

Lisa: Specky Sen give me your phone.

Lisa said coming in following Shree. She is looking really angry. Now what happened?? And Lisa wants Shree's phone?? Something is fishy.

Shree: Over my dead body you lizard.

Shree said looking at Lisa as if in digust.

Lisa: Delete that photo. I am telling you I will kill you.

She said pointing her finger at Shree. Photo?? What is she talking about??

Shree: No way!! That was the best picture of you. How can I delete it??

Shree said looking at Lisa smirking. God!! I am sure he clicked some really weird pic of Lisa.

Sakshi: Shree yaar, which picture?? At least show us??

Sakshi said looking at Shree curiously. He grinned looking at Lisa.

Shree: Sure!!

He said opening the folder in his phone.

Lisa: Don't you dare Specky Sen.

She shouted but Chotu grabbed her and she can't even move. Shree opened the folder and we all saw the pic he was talking about. No doubt Lisa was so angry.

Riya: What the!!

I looked at the picture dumbfounded then we all started laughing. Oh god!! When did he clicked that pic??

Lisa: SHREE!!

Lisa shouted and ran behind shree and Shree ran out from the room. They both are just hilarious. We all laughed looking at both of them running like idiots in the whole office. Suddenly I remembered that Arjun went to Rathore sir's cabin. Wait!! Why are they not coming out?? Even after hearing this much commotion??

I got up and started going out from the room only to hear Sakshi's voice.

Sakshi: Riya?? Where are you going?

I turned towards her and she is looking at me confused.

Riya: Actually I have to ask something to Rathore Sir.

I said to her smiling.

Sakshi: Okay!!

She shrugged and started writing something in her diary. I came to Rathore sir's cabin and knocked but still no response. What the hell are they both doing?? I opened the door and looked at the scene in front of me stunned. What the hell!!

They both are sitting together with their heads down looking at something. And there are pictures scattered everywhere in the cabin. This cabin looks like a junkyard. I came in and closed the door.

Riya: What's going on here??

I asked looking at both of them folding my hands in front of me. They both looked at me startled as if I have caught them red handed doing something illegal.

Arjun: Nothing we were just talking.

Arjun shrugged and they both picked up the pictures fast. Really?? I saw some pictures and these pictures are of both of them. In some pictures there is Roshni too. And all the pictures are really funny.

Riya: Talking?? Seriously?? Who talks like this??

I said looking at the room exasperated. They both looked at each other and then went stiff as if they are very serious persons.

Arjun: What are you doing here??

Arjun asked in a harsh tone. Really now??

Riya: I came here to call you both out as we still have to solve that Mr. Mehta remember??

I said to them sarcastically and they both looked everywhere but me.

Sameer: Yes!! And now we have Adil Sheikh's case and the mission you were working on.

Rathore sir said sighing as if he is tired. Well we are going to get tired. As I am sure these cases will take time.

Riya: In short we are busy for almost one week.

I said sighing and sat on the seat opposite of Rathore sir.

Sameer: Yes!! And then the paperwork.

Rathore sir said sitting on his seat and Arjun sat on the chair beside me.

Arjun: We don't have to think about that. Our Juniors are here. Remember??

Arjun said indicating towards me. Hell!! He is going to be dead in next 2 minutes.

Sameer: Yeah!!

Rathore sir looked at me devilishly and then smirked at Arjun. Well they don't know how much of a devil I am.

Riya: Don't even try . I will kill you both with my bare hands.

I said glaring at both of them. They both looked at me stunned for some time then Rathore sir smirked looking at Arjun.

Sameer: Juno? Don't you think your wife is being too violent??

He said looking at Arjun and indicated towards me. I am sure he is laughing in his mind.

Arjun: Looks like it!!

Arjun shrugged trying to control his laugh. That's it. They are finished.

Riya: MOVE!!

I shouted at both of them and they both got up startled. I got up from chair glaring at them.

Sameer: Okay!! Okay!! No need to shout Riya. Our ears are perfectly fine.

Rathore sir said and I rolled my eyes at him. He is too much. I came out from his cabin with them following me. We all entered conference room only to see everyone sitting there and they all were trying to recollect what they had already found about Mr. Mehta.

All three of us sat on our seats and Arjun looked at Sakshi.

Arjun: So?? Any news about Mr. Mehta??

He asked looking at Shree and Sakshi and they both shook their head in a no. Rathore sir looked at both of them irritated. Well its not their fault, I know you cannot find anything about Mr. Mehta till he wants.

Then Arjun looked at me curiously and I smirked at him. I started telling them what I found out about him.

Riya: Jatin Mehta. A top level industrialist. Went to US for a conference. When he came back he found his wife dead in his living room. No one lives in his house apart from his wife, his two servants, his watchman and him. Has two children. One son and one daughter. Twins, who are studying in London Business School.

I finished telling what I know and they all looked at me as if I have grown two heads.

Sameer: How did you find this information?? We were trying from last week.

Rathore sir looked at me annoyed. I grinned looking at him. I am not a research specialist for nothing.

Riya: I have my ways.

I said to him winking. Everything is silent for sometime. Suddenly Arjun looked at me as if he has found something.

Arjun: That means you have already met Mr. Mehta??

He said looking at me curiously.

Riya: Yes. I have.

I nodded in yes.

Sameer: Where??

Rathore sir asked looking at me perplexed.

Riya: At restaurant yesterday.

I told them about my meeting with Mr. Mehta yesterday.

Chotu: That's why you disappeared for 30 minutes??

Chotu looked at me in awe. I smiled at him awkwardly.

Riya: Exactly.

I nodded and we wrote all the information in our notes.

Sameer: Smart work Riya.

Rathore sir said looking at me proudly. I nodded at him. Suddenly my phone started ringing. I looked at the caller ID only to see Abhi calling. Now what happened to him?? He is coming back tomorrow.

Riya: Yes Abhi!!

I picked up the phone confused.

Abhilash: Riya. We are coming back today.

He said as if he is tensed. Today?? Why?? And wait!! We?? Who is he coming back with??

Riya: We??

I asked him baffled. What's wrong with him??

Abhilash: Yes. I will tell you everything at home. Can you and Arjun please come back early??

He asked in a tensed voice. Okay, I am sure something is wrong.

Riya: Okay. We will try.

I said to him softly. He sounded really tensed.

Abhilash: Thanks.

He cut the call and I looked at the phone astonished.

Arjun: What happened??

Arjun asked looking at me confused.

Riya: Abhi is coming back and he is asking if we can come home early. He wants to talk about something. And yes someone else is coming with him.

I told him shrugging. I looked at Rathore sir for permission.

Sameer: Okay. You both can have half day today.

He nodded in yes and I sighed relaxing. But its still 3 hours for him to come home.

Arjun: Thanks Sam!!

Arjun nodded at Rathore sir. I just hope Abhi is fine.

Riya: Now let's start our work right away.

I said to them and they all nodded. We started finding about the Mehta's twins.

Right now I am sitting in Arjun's cabin waiting for him to come. He went to talk to DIG Sir about our leave.

Arjun: Riya??

I heard Arjun's voice and looked up.

Arjun: I talked to DIG Sir. Let's leave.

He said looking at me seriously.

Riya: Okay.

I nodded and we both reached home. I looked at the time. Abhi will reach any time. Suddenly we both heard the door bell. Finally he came. Arjun opened the door and Abhi came in.

Arjun: Abhi!!

Arjun looked at Abhi questioning.

Abhilash: Arjun?? Thank god.

Abhi looked at Arjun relieved. He is looking too wound up. What happened to him?? Abhi looked towards the door.

Abhilash: Please come.

Abhi said softly and a girl came in. I looked at the girl stunned. What the hell!! What is she doing with Abhi??

Riya: Riddhi Kapoor??

I said looking at her baffled. I looked at Arjun and he is looking at the girl stunned.

Abhilash: You know her??

Abhi asked looking at both of us confused. God!! Ayesha will be thrilled to meet her sister.

Riya: Come inside!! Where did you meet her??

I asked them excited. They both look at me confused.

Abhilash: In Kolkata. Actually we saved some girls from being shipped.

Abhi said and Riddhi looked at him shocked. Now what happeend??

Riddhi: Basically 1,000 girls.

She said looking at Abhi narrowing her eyes. I looked at Abhi stunned. 1000 girls??

Arjun: What?? From Whom??

Arjun asked looking at Abhi baffled. No one ships so much girls that too at the same time.

Abhilash: Adil Sheikh. And now that case is transferred to ETF. In fact Rathore requested for that. Why??

Abhi said looking at both of us confused. So that case was handled by Abhi's team?? I think its better if Rathore Sir and Ayesha talked to Abhi and Riddhi themselves.

Riya: You both go and freshen up first. We will talk later.

I told them and they both nodded sighing tired. Abhi went towards his room.

Riya: Come I will show you your room.

I said to Riddhi and she followed me to another guest room. We both came to the room I personally liked besides the master bedroom.

Riddhi looked at the room with a beautiful smile. I knew she will like it.

Riddhi: Okay. Are you sure I am not imposing myself. I didn't want to be a burden but Abhilash insisted so...

She started saying looking down somewhat nervously but I cut her talks in the middle. She is not imposing. In fact this house is pretty big and we can easily accomodate her.

Riya: Relax. We are good. You can see this house is pretty big. So no you are not imposing.

I said to her shrugging nonchalantly and she nodded with a beautiful smile.

Riddhi: Thank you!!

She said softly. Well as far as I know she is like my sister. She is Ayesha's sister. So she doesn't need to say Thank you to me.

Riya: No need.

I said and came out from the room leaving her to change and freshen up and I have to call Ayesha too.

***********************************************************************************************

We all are sitting in the conference room trying to find something about Mr. Mehta's children. Also Mr. Mehta's watchman is found dead near his house today. Suddenly my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID only to see Riya calling. Why is she calling me??

Ayesha: Hello??

I picked up the call confused.

Riya: Ayesha. Its me!!

Riya said in an excited voice. What the!!

Ayesha: I know. What happened??

I asked her baffled. What's wrong with her. She and Arjun sir went to their home early tensed about Riya's brother, Abhilash sir. Now she is excited??

Riya: Ayesha come to my house. Fast!!

She said as if it is urgent. I looked at the phone stunned.

Ayesha: What happened. You sound excited??

I asked her trying to find what happened.

Riya: Come fast. You will know.

She said in a joyful tone. Okay!! I have to ask Sameer first.

Ayesha: Okay!!

I said softly and cut the call. I excused myself from conference room and went towards Sameer's cabin. I knocked on the door once and opened the door slightly.

Ayesha: Sameer?

He looked up hearing my voice. I came inside his cabin. He is looking at his mobile as if he was on a call just now.

Sameer: Ayesha. What happened?

He asked looking at my nervous face.

Ayesha: Riya called. She said to come to her house, urgently!!

I told him and he frowned at me. Then he looked at his cell phone. He sighed and got up from his chair.

Sameer: Fine. Let's go.

He said closing the file in front of him. I looked at him stunned. He is coming too?? Then what about the case??

Ayesha: But case??

I asked him baffled.

Sameer: We can't do anything till we get the forensics report. And I talked to Lisa. She said we will get the report tomorrow only.

He said shrugging. Oh!! So he was talking to Lisa.

Ayesha: Oh alright then. Let's go.

I nodded and we both came out from his cabin. Sameer looked towards the team members in the conference room and went inside.

Sameer: Team!! Go to your home.

He shouted at everyone and they all got up startled. They all looked at each other shocked. But then controlled themselves.

Everyone: Yes sir!!

They all nodded and ran out from the conference room. I shook my head amused and we both left for Arjun Sir's home.

We rang the bell and Riya opened the door. Wow!! She is looking really excited.

Ayesha: Riya?? What happened??

I asked her curiously. She didn't said anything but called us inside. We went in only to see Abhilash sir sitting on the couch.

Abhilash: Rathore?? Why did you request to transfer Adil Sheikh's case to ETF??

Abhilash sir asked as soon as he saw Rathore sir. Suddenly I heard the voice I didn't hear from last 2 years. My Riddhi Di.

Riddhi: Ashu??

Di called me and I turned around only to see Di looking at me stunned. She is really here. Now I know why Riya was so excited.

Ayesha: Di?

I looked at Riya and she nodded grinning. Oh god!! Finally she is here. She came towards me and hugged me tightly. I hugged her back crying. Its so long, when I saw her last.

Abhilash: What the hell is going on?

We both separated hearing Abhilash sir's irritated voice.

Riddhi: She is my younger sister.

Di said to Abhilash Sir and he looked at me stunned. He knows Riddhi Di?? But how??

Riddhi: But how are you here??

Di asked looking at me confused. Then she looked at Riya.

Riddhi: And how did you know me?

She asked looking at Riya and Arjun sir frowning.

Riya: Ayesha told us about you. Besides I was a research specialist so I found out about you.

Riya shrugged as if its no big deal. Well I think it is not a big deal for her to find anything about anyone. As she found out about Mr. Mehta so easily.

Riddhi: Oh. Okay.

Di nodded at her and we all sat on the couch in the living room. Its better if Di knows about my work.

Ayesha: I work as an encounter specialist in ETF. They all are my colleagues apart from Abhilash sir. He is a CBI officer.

I told her smiling softly. She looked at me shocked.

Riddhi: Okay.

She nodded but she looks as if she is thinking something. She is looking at Sameer and Arjun Sir frowning. As if she is trying to recognise them.

Ayesha: He is Sameer Rathore. He is ETF chief. And Arjun Rawte.

I said first indicating towards Sameer and then Arjun Sir. Di looked at Arjun sir baffled. Now what happened??

Riddhi: Wait!! Arjun Suryakant Rawte??

She asked looking at Arjun sir startled. Hmm, looks like she heard about him too.

Ayesha: Hmm. He is the second in command of ETF. His wife and ETF Senior inspector Riya Rawte. And Riya is Abhilash sir's sister.

I told her about Riya, and she looked at Arjun sir, then Riya and then Abhilash sir with a strange admiration in her eyes. I know she likes honest people very much, because in her line its really rare.

Riddhi: Wow!! Whole family in police line??

She looked at Abhilash sir teasingly and he smirked at her.

Riddhi: Anyways nice to meet you all. And no doubt I will help you in this case.

She said looking at Arjun Sir and Sameer. I smiled looking at her.

Arjun: Ayesha it's not safe for Riddhi to stay in your apartment so she will be staying here till we catch Adil .

Arjun sir said and I looked at him astonished. I don't know how can I ever repay Riya and Arjun sir. I just hope I get a chance to do something for both of them.

Ayesha: Okay sir.

I nodded at him, but I don't want to live without her now.

Riya: Ayesha you stay with Riddhi today. I am sure you would want to talk to her.

Riya said looking at me smiling. How easily she understood that I want to live with Di today. She is really an angel. I just hope she gets all the happiness of this world.

Ayesha: Thanks Riya!!

I grinned at her and I went with Di to her room here. I just hope we will catch that bas***d soon. So that my Di and Sakshi's Baba can come out from the hiding.
