Ayaan came back to his house after 3 years. 3 long years. Humera was decending down the stairs when she noticed ayaan entering the house. Her happiness knew no bond. Her love was back. Back after 3 years. Her eyes were brimming with tears of happiness.
Flash back
Humera: ayaan, is it necessary to go today only...
Ayaan: yes.
Humera: ayaan please stay tonight. you can go tomorrow also.
Ayaan: no, i want to go today only...
Humera: i know why you want to go. You like zoya a lot and she didn't reciprocate your feelings and you cant bear the sight of her with asad ahmed khan.
Ayaan was shocked how she knew about this. How can she tell the exact reason of his leaving bhopal abruptly, which was actually due after few days...
Ayaan: humera right now I'm confuse. I'm confuse about what I feel for you, what I feel for zoya. I need to sort out myself and nothing is better than my duty to take my mind off these things for few days. So please let me leave.
Flashback ends...
In these 3 years ayaan didn't come back for once but was in contact with her always. He called her daily, and kept her updated about him. He has now moved on and knew that there is something precious for humera in his heart...
Humera was not able to say a single word. Her heart swelled with happiness. She ran towards ayaan and hugged him like her life depended on it. Ayaan reciprocated her.
Humera: ayaan you came, do you know how long you made me wait...
Ayaan: not any more...
Humera: now I wont let you go anywhere.
Humera: come inside, everyone is waitnig so eagerly for you to come...
Ayaan: lets go.
Shireen: ayaan beta, you came...
She went and hugged her son.
Ayaan met his whole family and everyone was in same state of crying.
Shireen: you must be tired, go and get fresh. Till the time we set the breakfast table.
Ayaan: ji...
At breakfast table
Ayaan was too happy to have meal with his whole family after such a long time. He was smiling widely but suddenly his smile faded when he noticed her.
She was sitting next to his mamu and was all quite not the person whom he knew. She didn't even gave a single glance to anyone and was too quite among the hustle bustle that was created due to his home coming.
Ayaan: what is she doing here.
Humera followed his gaze and got what disturbed her ayaan.
Humera placed a comforting hand on ayaan's : ayaan main aapko inn sab ke bare me baad me bataungi abhi aap breakfast kijiye.
Ayaan: but humera...
Humera: trust me ayaan please...
After that he didn't speak to anyone. No one told him about her. Not even after him coming home. After breakfast ayaan left the house hurriedly saying he got an urgent call and is needed on duty immediately.
In police commissioner's office...
Commissioner: hello inspector ayaan...
Ayaan: good morning sir...
Commissioner: good. You just came back and reported on duty immediately. I'm impressed. Sit we need to talk about a case right now.
Ayaan: sure sir.
Commissioner: do you know Zainab Farooqui???
Ayaan: ji. The very famous tech-guru. She went to US years back, earned a lot of wealth and was murdered 3 years back in her own hometown, here in bhopal.
Commissioner: right. And now you are going to see that case from now on.
Ayaan: but sir, to what I know the criminal has been already sentenced to death then whats left to see in it.
Commissioner: yes, he is. But his mental health is not good and he cant be hanged in the current state of his mind and he had tried many times to escape. So you will be the incharge of him till he is punished.
Ayaan: mental health??????
Commissioner: yes. During the crime time there were unfortunately to him were gaffor siddique, his wife and his friend rashid ahmed khan on crime spot with their bodyguards and they tried to save her but it was too late and in fight with their bodyguards the criminal got hurt in his head and lost his sanity.
As gaffor siddique was her ex husband he took her case and made it clear that the murderer is sentenced to death. Don't know why that man will be after her money when he has enough. Well this reason is what was given by the lawyer in court for murder.
Ayaan: she was mamu's first wife, zoya is his daughter...
Commissioner: gaffor siddique is your mamu???
Ayaan: yes.
Commissioner: no wonder why there were orders to give the case to you so suddenly.
Ayaan: what do you want to say?
Commissioner: let tell you crystal clear, the inspector who was in charge of this case got some clues that somewhere something is missing in this case and things were pointing to him so he got you in for this case so there is nothing for him to worry.
Ayaan: you are questioning my honesty sir, i know things look suspicious, but I assure you that if there's anything in the depth of this case i'll bring it to light... my relations do not come in my way of duty...
Commissioner: that sounds good...🥱 now come with me, we have to meet the accuse...
Ayaan: ji...
Mental hospital...
Dr. : mr. ayaan commissioner sir, this way. Room no. 201 is his.
Commissioner: how's he doing doctor??
Dr. : no improvement sir. i still cant believe he was held guilty in the case... no accusation was solid to prove him guilty but...
Commissioner: law is blind in front of proofs...
Dr.: yes sir, but my heart breaks to see him like this... a man of power is nothing today...
Ayaan was curious to know who this murderer is. Everyone believes that he cant do this, means how can we know what made him think that murder is the only option but a murderer is a murderer at the end. Why they think otherwise. This man is making me curious like hell...
Commissioner: ayaan, you can go and meet him, i need to talk to doctor about something...
Ayaan: okay...
Ayaan enterd the room 201...
The room was dark, very dark.
Ayaan switched on the lights of the room. He saw him. Resting on bed, with his face covered with a black cap.
The man did looked dangerous by just his body language. He stirred in sleep. He was uncomfortable with lights now on.
He slowly removed the cap to give ayaan shock of his life...
Ayaan: Asad...
