It had been two days since Arjun and Sameer got discharged from the hospital. And these two days were no less than a shock for the entire team. The two bosses who couldn't stay together for their life, were taking each others side just so that they could get out of their beds which was hard in the presence of the Goenka family. Specially when they had the over protective Mimi keeping an eye on them. Aarohi had declared herself as their personal doctor as she checked upon them in every two hours and also maintained their reports for Abhimanyu and Anand to be able to assess them better. Akshara on the other hand had put a strong pretence and taken up the role of gharelu doctor. Abhimanyu's ghrelu doctor! She had even denied Arjun for his tea. While the ETF thought Arjun would definitely kill her with his glares, he simply looked surprised and had agreed not before trying to buzz her. But the girl didn't stir. This had made the ETF believe they could ask Akshara to help them deal with the ACP whenever they would get into any problem.
In between the two days, ETF had interrogated Zafar. While the bosses were only present on screen, Aayesha and Chotu did the handiwork. Zafar was indeed the same boy whose father was accussed of being a sleeper cell. Arjun knew that his case wasn't investigated properly. The man had been wrongly accussed, killed along with his wife. While their daughter, Zafar's sister was put into a brothel. The boy had seen too much of inhumanity to feel any emotion. He grew up hating the system, the police force, the common people, the government, and specially Udaipur. The City Palace of Udaipur.
Chotu: Sir, hum log yaha un bachho ke liye aaye the, aur phas gaye is bomb blast ke chakkar me. Aur vo hawaldaar, jisko alat ilzaam me phasaya tha. Uske case ka kya sir?
Sameer: Uska case open karwaane me wakt lagega. But investigation hume internally karni hogi. Ye bhot bada khel hai. Can't let anyone doubt us.
Shree: Internal investigation? Matlab extra hours me?
Shree sulked thinking about the amount of work while the rest too groaned making a face.
Sameer: That's the job guys. Anyways, hum ab apni investigation karenge.
He looked towards Riya.
Sameer: Riya, tum kal apni family ko bulwa lo. Ho sake to teeno families. Saare log jinhone tumhare wakt pe case me participate kiya tha ya phir uske baare me jaante the, waha maujood the.
Riya nodded her head a little.
Riya: Right, sir!
Sameer looked at his team again and then at the clock. 9 o'clock. It wasn't too late. But they wouldn't get time to relax once they start with the new case.
Sameer: Late to nahi hai, par jaakar aaram karlo. Aage bhot kaam hai.
The hurriedly grabbed the items they had brought with them to discuss, and went back to their rooms to have a much needed time before jumping into the next load of work.

It had been four nights, since Riya and Arjun had been together in a single room at night. It wasn't uncomfortable. But it was definitely awkward for a few minutes when they entered inside. In the last two days they had learnt that the only way to make the air in the room a bit comfortable was to talk. But talk about what? They didn't know. While the first night they had talked about taking the bed or the couch, it had just somehow eased the tension. The second night, they haf entered inside while talking only. Riya had asked Arjun about Zafar. She felt bad for him. And she couldn't understand, was it okay to feel bad for someone who tried to kill so many? Who had already killed so many? Because of whom her husband had to be in the hospital for two days straight. She was confused. And her questions were something only Arjun could understand and answer. And that was what he did. He answered.
