Sameer's POV:
I entered the office and went straight to the conference room as I know everyone will be there drinking their coffee. On my way I noticed that Rawte's cabin is still locked. May be he directly went to the conference room. With these thoughts in my mind I reached the conference room. I didn't find Rawte there. Strange! He will always be here before I reach. It is already 8:30 am. Usually he would be here by 7:30 am itself. But today he isn't here. Maybe he will come late. I greeted everyone and Ayesha handed me a cup of coffee. I accepted it with a smile. Suddenly I heard Sakshi's voice and I looked at her to know what she wants to tell.

"Sameer Arjun has not come yet. Where is he? "

She is another person who wants to see Arjun happy and smiling just like Riya. But I know she can't stand his anger. If only Riya was still alive... She would have made him smile like before.. Umpff!! Coming out from all those memories I replied to Sakshi who was looking at me eagerly.

"If only I had any idea. I think he will come late. "

"Oh ok... "

She said and I could see everyone are bewildered by the fact Rawte is late. I asked them to complete the paperwork until we get any case and left to my cabin. And then I was busy with my work. I checked the time to find it was already 10 am. And still there is no trace of Arjun. I got a call and now there is a new case. I left to the conference to find them all busy gossiping. I have never seen these people doing work when I see them. With my entry everyone became silent. I announced that we have a case and I can see everyone back in their officer's mood. Before briefing the case I decided to give a call to Rawte and find out about his whereabouts. I could hear the phone ringing but no one picked it up. I tried again and Rawte picked it up in the end.

"Rawte where are you? Why are you not in the office still? "

I asked him only to hear him sighing deeply.

"Morning Rathore... "

He said in a sleepy tone and I almost the phone slipped from my hand. I rechecked the caller ID and confirmed it was Rawte only. I can't believe it he is still sleeping. The super cop is still sleeping...

"Morning Rawte... Did you check the time? It's past office time. We have a case and so come here immediately. "

I said sternly although I know he doesn't take it seriously.

"Now what's the time Rathore. I am very sleepy. You go ahead with the case. "

He said and I stiffened hearing him. Is he even serious and on top of that is he fully awake. He is kidding me!!

"It's already 10:15 am Rawte. And I want you here right now. I hope I made myself very clear. "

"Oh so it is already 10:15. Anyway I am taking an off for two days. Enjoy solving your case."

He said lethargically and I am shocked by his behavior. The person who considers cases as his life and his duty as his soul is asking me for a day off even after knowing that there is a case. I can't believe this.

"Listen Rawte I am not granting you leave for two days. So you better be here or I will message you the site you come there directly. And this is final. "
