Dadi had been forcing Ahaan into the preparations with Rhea. Nobody in the house was told about the search operation and thus the boys had to behave as if it was nothing.
Kartik and Sid were spending time with Kriti, they didn't know her reality as yet. Kriti didn't know about Karan also. Ishqi had been running away from them since the day roka was completed.
She had gone to Delhi for an event and was going to Nagpur directly, she'll reach the next day. Ahaan was trying to contact her but she didn't answer his calls or her manager denied that she was busy.
Malhotra Mansion, Mumbai
Kartik and Sid were competing as Kriti was sleeping when Sid got a call.
AVNEET
Kartik looked at him and he shook his head just like everyday, again. "Tu phone utha lena!"
"Nahi Kartik, apologize kis baat ka? She's texting numerous sorry's. Kyu? Kyuki usne mujhe reject kar diya? I don't deserve this." Siddharth snapped. "Kya pata koi aur vajah ho."
"Tujhse kitne dino se Jia ne baat nahi ki?" Kartik stammered, "Vo actually America gayi thi kisi business deal ke liye..." Siddharth raised his brows and Kartik raised his hands in defeat, "Ritvik ki family ke saath."
"It clearly means ki vo log unke contact me hai, and thus it is clear ki Avni ne haan bol diya tha uss din."
"Mamu!" Kriti woke up as the boys left everything and hugged her. "Nani!" She hugged Suneeta and Vibha, "Dadi!"
"Yeh Pratik ko apni beti ki fikar nahi hai?" Dadi taunted while Kriti gave her a small smile. "Dadi, bacchi hai." Kartik retaliated as she rolled her eyes and left. "Baby, aap bilkul tension mat lo, hum hai na!" Vibha kissed her cheek as she hugged her.
NIT, Nagpur
"Please welcome, Karan Kundrra and Tejasswi Prakash." Koel announced and the whole college cheered. Koel and Faizi had disguised themselves as hosts to help the team on field. Karan and Tejasswi entered and gave their speeches. Faizi started with the events while the dean looked happy with the preparations.
"Karan, yeh sab!" Monami said looking at the room in shock. "Yeh deewar ke upar bhi kuch likha tha, black marker se!"
"Monami, Ahaan ko call karo aur usse pucho ki Sonu ki ek friend koi, jo jaanti ho!" Monami nodded and called Ahaan. He was with Rhea.
"Ahaan, Sonu ki best friend kon thi?" Ahaan told them that it was Kiran and they called Sanjana. "Sanju, Kiran ka location check kar! Vo function me hai ya nahi?"
"Copy sirji!"
"Faizi, don't let anyone leave the hall, Kiran ke alawa. Picture forward kardi hai!"
"Copy that!" Faizi said over the mic and they call continued their tasks. "Karan ko kuch pata chala?" Karan K asked desperately.
Since the day they had found the fake postmortem report they were desperate for the real reason for everything to come out.
Karan and Monami wore their gloves and started searching for everything. "Karan bro, here's Kiran." Sid said bringing her inside. She gulped scared. "Dekho Kiran, hum yaha Ahaan, Sonu ke bhai ke kehne parr aaye hai. Please jo bhi tum jaanti ho hume bata do!" Monami requested politely.
Kiran flinched again, scared. "Kiran, hume sab kuch sach sach bata do! Hamare paas aur bhi tareeke hai!" Karan S rolled his eyes. "Karan!" Monami blinked her eyes as he shook his head in despair, only if he wasn't with Monami and Kiran wasn't a female, he would have squeezed the person to take out the truth.
"Darne ki zroorat nahi hai, drugs wale ladke pakde gaye hai." Monami smiled and Kiran looked up, a bit comfortable now.
She told them everything she knew. Karan S took out some more proofs and required things before going out and locking the door with a new lock, they had brought it. They didn't want the suspected material to be touched before they solve the whole case.
"Sunny, sab thik hoga!" Tejasswi assured him squeezing his hands comfortingly. It had been 3 hours that Karan S had taken 2-3 boys inside with himself. The function had been over and everyone had escorted back. They were all in the headquarters at Nagpur. "Kya yeh murder tha laddo? Agar tha toh mai use chordhunga nahi jisne yeh sab kiya!"
Tejasswi knew how possessive Karan was about the whole family. For distracting him, she decided to call Kriti, his new partner in crime. "Kritu, I am missing you."
"I am missing you more mumma!" Kriti said over the call as Sid and Kartik came inside looking at her. She was playing in Kartik's phone and realized what she did. "Mumma?" Before the boys could shout, the elders shouted.
"Teju, yeh Kritu tujhe mumma kyu bula rahi hai?" Suneeta asked confused. "Kya baat hai?" Sid asked over the phone. "Sowiee..." Kriti whispered taking the phone from him.
"Teja ki beti hai? Parr yeh toh shaadi-shuda bhi nahi hai?" Dadi said in her over tone, always finding mistakes in others. "Maa, dadi mai sab aake batata hoon!" Karan snatched the phone from Tejasswi. "Karan, tu kya baat kar raha hai? Kya tu Teju ki bacchi ke baare me sab jaanta tha?" Karan nodded at Vibha.
"Hayo rabba yeh kudi nu beti hai, pehle se! Naa jaane kiski najayaz aulaad hai, ab isse vyaah kon karega!" Dadi taunted and Tejasswi's eyes were filled with tears, "Dadi!" Ahaan came inside the room and saw the video call.
"Ahaan puttar, yeh ladki sahi nahi hai, iski bacchi hai, vo bhi bina shaadi ke! Naa jaane aur kya kya gul khilaye hue hai! Maine toh pehle hi mana kiya tha ki bahaar walo pe trust nahi karte!" Dadi said overacting to the whole matter.
"Bass dadi!" She heard two voices, Karan K and Ahaan. "Yeh jiss bacchi ko suna rahi hai na aap, vo meri beti hai!" Karan K said confidently and heard Sid G and Faizi. "Karan, chalo, Sonu ki maut kaa saara raaz khul chuka hai, Ahaan ko phone..."
"Mai aa raha hoon Faizi!" Ahaan said running towards the gate. Kriti didn't know what to react?
They went inside and Ahaan reached the airport as he went inside the first flight to Nagpur.
"Karan, Sonu ki maut hai toh ek suicide, parr ek murder bhi." Monami told everyone. "Aur yeh murder kisi aur ne nahi balki, uski ek khud ki galti ne kiya hai." Karan S completed.
