A week later, Vikram, Shiva and Dhruv's mother went to Dhruv's grave to complete the rituals to be done after Dhruv's death. They had finished the rituals with a heavy heart and stood in front of the tomb of Dhruv and prayed for peace of his soul. Vikram said, "Dhruv... you ... are by my side ... just ... standing somewhere ... hidden... how can I find you? Only your memories are with me. We are like twins... and now you left me alone. Whoever separated us... hmm... meet you again only after burying the murderers ... You are the one who must lead me" Vikram vowed.
Both Vikram and Dhruv's mother entered the back seat of the car. Shiva was driving at a moderate speed on the road.
Vikram noticed the tears in the eyes of Dhruv's mother through the mirror and didn't have words to console her.
Breaking the silence, Dhruv's mother said cryingly, "Vikram... Dhruvvv ... I didn'tveven think in my dreams that he would leave us all to suffer like this... Even when he last spoke in the phone, he told me that he would come and see me tomorrow morning... He didn't even know to think to degrade anyone, Isn't it Vikram? Look at the tragedy that happened ... Look at his fate... How could his inspiring life changed upside down? God is blind..." She said with tears in her eyes.
Unable to answer, Vikram said "Hmm" and folded his lips. He controlled himself.
"No matter how much work he had, he would check me whether I took sugar pills. He's such a wonderful child, Vikram. Who is going to ask me anymore?" When she finished saying, Vikram asked her, "Mom! Did you take sugar pills?" She looked at Vikram with tearful eyes.
"I have been seeing you as my own mother since I was a child. You also accepted me as your son. Don't worry as long as I am there. I have an obligation to do you the same duties I did to my mother. Maa... Don't worry!" Vikram expressed love from the heart.
"Yes, you are right Vikram. You are same as my Dhruv" she said wiping her tears away.
He tried to bring back a small smile in that withered lips. No matter how much she opposed him finally he convinced Dhruv's mother and made her stay in his home that gives him a little comfort.
At Vikram's house,
Vikram was actively looking for something all over his room. He searched everything from his desk to the wardrobe to find it.
His mother, who was there, asked, "What Vicky? Are you looking for something important?"
"Yeah Maa... I don't know where I kept the keychain that Dhruv gave me for my last birthday. Hmm ... I lost him too; Now that keychain too..." he said in frustration.
"It will be in our house only. Don't worry Vicky. I will try to find it" she said.
"Hmm... I felt sorry when things about him go away from me. My heart hurts maa... I felt heavy" said him.
She said "It's okay. Don't worry"
Meanwhile, Vikram's cell phone rang, he picked up his car keys and hurried away.

Rahul House,"Vikram, are you going to the company today, aren't you?" Rahul asked to confirm.
"Yes... Rahul, more than two weeks have passed" said Vikram.
"Hmm... It's not right for me to come to the office there and I don't want to tell you this important information over the phone. It's good that we are precautionary on anything that is why I asked you to come here" said Rahul.
"Okay... what's the matter?"
"Vikram, let me tell you the possibilities about the killer. I guess the killer must be just against you and Dhruv. That is, Business (Vikram) + sports (Dhruv) are more likely to be related to both. So who is your mutual enemy? If you give me the list of your mutual enemies, it will be easy for me to find the culprit as soon as possible."
