"Hope I could help you,"  Sunaina nodded assuringly, " You shall not worry about anything Naina,"

"Thanks, Sunaina,"

"That Mallika is the main culprit," Hema voiced out, "Every angle points at her,"

"But why did she target Preeti? There were many other ways to bring Rihaan down," Naina sighed, "I hope there are many layers of mystery around this case, all I need now is a convincing clue to solve and connect the incidents,"

Coincidentally, Kamya walked in.

"Naina, I too have something to say,"

"Walk in," Taiji reprimanded as Preeti hurried inside the flat of the oldest housing society of the village. It was a smaller one, with the main hall, kitchen cum dining room, two bedrooms and a small balcony attached to them, highly spacious for a family of three though.

"The room in the corner is Shefali's, you may stay there,"

Shefali is Taiji's daughter-in-law. She and Taiji's son, that is Preeti's cousin Prem got married five years back. However, Prem is currently in AbuDhabi as a petroleum engineer and visits home once in eight months. Hence Shefali ended up being alone with Taiji, bearing the old lady's tantrums.

"What are you thinking about? Hurry up!"

"Haan Taiji,"

Preeti picked up her suitcase and walked inside Shefali's room.

"Shefali..."

"Ji ma," The lady came rushing with a cup having vapours of coffee emanating from it.

"That's Preeti," She signalled with her eyes, "You are supposed to keep an eye on her,"

"Ji ma,"

"Also, she must use only the landline in the hall, that too only for speaking with her parents and other family members,"

"Ji,"

"If she tries calling her friends or that ladka...his name, hmm Vihaan," Taiji rolled her eyes, "Inform me immediately, clear?"

"Ji ma,"

"Jao," Taiji ordered as Shefali turned back walking into the kitchen.

"This is horrible," He cursed while throwing the ball against the wall, "I am confined to this bloody wheelchair and completely dependent on someone to do things,"

"Sameer Bhaiya..." Vishakha held his palm, "Don't worry, you will be fine soon,"

Sameer smiled at his eleven-year-old behen. 

"I hope so Vishu,"

"Vishu..."Anu called, "Don't disturb Bhaiya, come and do your homework, come on,"

The call was from upstairs.

"Ji Mumma," Vishu replied, "Take rest Bhaiya," She pecked his cheek before running out of the room.

"Drishya," Grace's anger reached its breaking point, "You didn't complete the other assignment?"

"I am sorry Grace, actually, I didn't get time,"

"You are supposed to manage time,"

Naina, Kamya and Hema in the other room walked out hearing the ruckus.

"What happened, Grace?"

"Drishya didn't complete the other assignment yet,"

Naina sighed looking at her.

"Naina, I can sort it out," Drishya assured.

"How?" Naina sighed, "It runs for 240 pages, and it will take at least 14 hours to complete in one stretch,"

"Which implies that you can't help us in model making," Grace rolled her eyes.

"No, I can help you guys, I will ask someone else to write this for me,"

"Drishya be serious, the assignment must be in your handwriting, mam said that she will be verifying it using our answer scripts," Naina warned.

"It will be," Drishya winked.

"How?" Hema asked wondering.

"There is a guy in our school, Rohan, he is capable of imitating anyone's handwriting in a matter of five minutes, after noticing the peculiar strokes and signature of their style," Drishya explained, "He is a bit expensive though but I can afford,"

Naina glared, "This is not right..." Words stuck. Suddenly she could connect something.

Preeti.Vihaan.Letter. Love.

"Then I am right Naina," Kamya squealed, "Mallika was speaking about a fake letter to a guy and the guy must be Rohan,"

"What are you guys talking about?" Grace wondered.

"Then we must nab Rohan," Hema voiced out.

"What's the plan?" Kamya couldn't control herself. They were seeing a way to solve the issue.

"No planning and stuff as of now till we nab Rohan,"

"How to nab him?" Hema blinked.

"I know people who can do that,"
