Rajveer was running his fingers through Naina's hair making her smile. Even though they were locked in a dark jail cell, they were at peace as they were in each other's arms. Suddenly, they were startled as they heard their guards arguing amongst themselves. Raina could hear them dragging someone with them.

They got up from the floor and peeked through the bars of their cell. They saw the guards dragging a man towards their cell. The man was wearing an expensive suit and from the way he was being dragged, it was clear that he was unconscious.

"Ye kaun hai? Aur Lala ke admi isse aise kyu laa rahe hai?" Naina whispered to Rajveer. [Who do you think it is? And why Lala's men are dragging him in like that?]

"Pata nahi, Naina. Kuch samajhme nahi aaraha hai. Aaj kaal to Lala bokhlaye huya hai." Rajveer whispered with a shrug. "No idea, Naina. These days, Lala is a mess.]

Soon, they guards pushed the unconscious man into Raina's cell. Since it was a huge dark room with no windows, there was enough space for all three of them. The guards made a bed on the other side of the room and placed the man on it. Rajveer gestured towards one of the guards to ask who this man was.

"Pata nahi. Lala sir ne uthane ko kaha to hum utha laye." Replied the guard before leaving. [I don't know. Lala sir asked us to kidnap him so we did.]

Rajveer and Naina settled on their bed and waited until the guards had left the premises. Then, Rajveer got up and removed the black cloth that was covering the man's face. The man was young, seemed to be in his early thirties. After making sure the man was comfortable, he returned to his Naina.

A few hours later, the young man groaned and opened his eyes. Startled, the man glanced around the room as he sat up. As soon as his eyes fell on the older couple, the man gasped in shock. Arnav was surprised to find himself locked up in the same cell as his in-laws.

Rajveer and Naina were observing the man from the beginning, so his reaction to them was not hidden. Rajveer raised his eyebrow at the man as if to asked who he was.

"Main yaha kab aya?" Arnav asked, controlling his expression. He wasn't known as ASR for nothing. [When did I get here?]

Naina was amused by his attitude and his question. It was as if he knew he was going to be here. Naina showed him three fingers to let him know that he was brought here three hours ago.

Arnav nodded and sat leaning back against the wall comfortably. He proceeded to remove his shoes, socks, suit, and his waist coat. Then with a moan, he stretched his arms before relaxing back on the bed.  Rajveer and Naina exchanged confused looks. They couldn't understand why this man looked so relaxed. 

Half an hour later, Lala arrived with a smug look on his face. He had expected the businessman to panic finding himself locked up like this. But his smile dimmed when he found the young businessman just giving him a bored look. "Arnav Singh Raizada... suna hai ki bohot ki famous businessman ho. Apne aap ko iss haal me dekh ke dhakka to zaroor laga hoga. Hai na?" Lala taunted. [Arnav SIngh Raizada... I heard that you're a famous business man. You must've been shocked to see yourself in this situation, right?]

Arnav gave him a shark like smile. "Nope, I'm not surprised at all. In fact, my wife had told me to expect this when you called her last night." he replied casually. "Wo kya hai na... meri jaan ko adaat hai badtameez aur arrogant males se deal karne ki. To oh pehli hi unki next move easily guess kar leti hai." [Actually... my love is used to deal with rude and arrogant males. So, she can easily guess their moves.]

Lala grew angry with each of Arnav's statement. "Teri  biwi tab to case wapas karegi na jab usse tere torture ki live video dekhne ko milega?" he threatened. [I'm sure your wife will take this case back when she sees a torture video of yours.]
