This shocked Sidharth to the core...

" Are you serious, yeh aaasa nhi kar sakta "

Toh kya meh jhooth bol rahi hoon , says Naaz with tears in her eyes . Sid looks in her eyes and he can't deny that she was true but he was not ready to believe that his brother can stoup down to this level .

" Meh yeh nhi bol rhaa ki tum jhooth bol rahi ho I know you Shehnaz ki tum kasi ho , I completely trust you on this but how can you be sure about Rid "

She was shocked after listening to this.....

" Exactly Bhai , aap toh muje jaante hai na ki meh kabhi aasa nhi kar sakta " says Rid by looking at his brother with fake tears in his eyes .

" Mr. Kapoor aapko Jo bhi bolna hai abh aap court meh boliyega , filhal ke liye Hume aapke Bhai ko arrest karna hoga is case meh " inform the inspector to Sidharth .

" Nooo...no..bhaiiii...please save me Bhai , I don't want to go " argues Rid by holding his brother's hand . Sidharth's eyes becomes teary by looking at his brother . He was not in a state of mind to think about anything right now because on one side he has his brother who was claiming himself to be innocent while on the other he has Shehnaz who was an honest employee of his company since last many years . Sidharth knows her well that she can do anything but she will never do something like this , just for the fame and money where her own image is going to be on stake .

Police tries to remove Rid's hand from Sidharth's and was taking hims out of mansion when suddenly a Mercedes Benz comes and stops in front of the mansion , a guard comes out from the front side of car and opens the back seat door from where a lady wearing a , Dolce Gabbana designed dress with a designer handbag steps out of that car when suddenly Rid sees her there when police was making him sit inside their Jeep and he starts shouting for her...

" Mommm....mom " he somehow removes his hand from inspector and runs towards her and hugs her tightly and here Pammi Kapoor Sidharth's step mother hugs her own son tightly .

Constable runs towards Rid to take him away with them when Pammi shows him her hand ,

"How dare you ! Himmat kase Hui tum logo ki mere bete ko hath bhi lagane ki , Haan ? Shouts Pammi angrily by glaring at police team Pta hai na yeh koun hai " Sidharth Kapoor ka Bhai hai yeh aur agar Sid ko iske baare meh pta nhi chala na toh tum logo ka vo kya haal karega , iska andaza bhi nhi hai tum logo ko .

Inspector comes forwards and holds Rid's hand forcefully by glaring at Pammi and signals the constable to take him away but Rid was not ready to leave his mother while she also tries to tighten her hold on his hand but nothing works when a woman constable comes forward and tries to hold Pammi back .

" Bahut bada gunah Kiya hai aapke bete ne , ek ladki ki zindagi barbadh kardi isne " inspector tells Pammi .

" What nonsense, I don't believe this " aasa kya Kiya hai mere bete ne ?

" Rape Kiya hai aapke bete ne ek ladki ka , jabardasti ki hi isne oske sath " , how dare you utter these words about my son , I know him better than you he can never force a girl am sure yeh sabh oss ladki ka plan hoga mere bete ko fasa ke osse paise nikalwane ke...

" Kya sach aur kya jhooth abh iska pta toh court meh lagega madam " tabh tak apka beta humara mehman hai , osko khatirdaari meh humari taraf se koi Kami nhi rahegi , I promise you ....smirks the inspector by looking at Pammi .

Police van leaves with Rid while here Pammi enters the house and starts dialing Sidharth's mobile but it was going engaged.

" Yeh Sidharth ka number kyu nhi lag raha hai , Mangesh she calls for the servant loudly ,

" Yes mam , Mangesh the servant comes towards her . Sidharth ko call Karo aur jaldi Ghar aane ke liye bolo , it's urgent" but mam sir toh Ghar par hi hai .

Kya, Sidharth Ghar par hai ?

-----------------------------------------------

Here Shehnaaz reaches her home with a pale and tired face , she rings the bell of house and her friend Maya opens the door for her .

" Shehnaaz ? Thank God tu vapas aa gyi , tujhe pta meh kitni pareshan thii kal raat se , Tera phone bhi switch off aa rha thaa " she keeps blabbering but the moment she looks at Shehnaaz who was sitting on couch with teary eyes and marks from last night incident on her body , Maya was shocked .

She sits beside Shehnaaz and touches the mark near her lips ,

M - " Shehnaaz ye...yeh..sabh kya hai , T..tu...kaha thii kal raat ? Kya hua thaa ?

Maya's words finally breaks Shehnaaz control on her years and she breaks down on her best friends arms by hugging her , she keeps on crying loudly which makes Maya sure about something bad happened with her bestie .

She first tries to comfort her friend by rubbing her back and after sometime when Shehnaaz tears were not ready to stop , Maya removes Shehnaaz face from her nech and cups her face gently,

" Look at me Naaz , I know kuch toh hua hai tere sath kal raat please mujhe sabh bta , I promise am with you in this "

Shehnaaz eyes were completely red and dried with tears , she looks at Maya and starts narrating everything whatever happened with her and how she has to take police help .

Maya's blood boils after hearing about Ridharth , she wipes Shehnaaz tears and make her drink water .

Shehnaaz you have to be strong now , you can't leave that bastard so easily just behind the bars , he deserves to be punished more and I'll help you in this , don't worry we'll get the best lawyers for you so that you can teach him a good lesson ,

Shehnaaz looks at her friend with a hope that she will get the justice but somewhere she was also afraid of the consequences she will have to bear when her own family in patiala will get to know about this and the way they will react.

--------------------------------------------

"Sidharth how can you let the police take your brother so easily a fake case against him , tumhare samne vo log mere bete ko leke chale Gaye and you did nothing ? " Asks Pammi while facing  at his back and he was looking outside .

" Aur koun hai vo ladki jisne mere bete ke sath yeh sabh kiya , pta nhi kaha se aayi hai aur kya chahti hai , am sure humare paiso ke liye aayi hogi , you know your brother right ? He can never do something like this ever " Utters pammi like a innocent child just to save her son .

Sidharth turns around and looks at her calmly, and takes out his phone and calls someone.

" Aur kitna waqt lagega ? Hurry up I don't have the time parso Rid ke case ki hearing hai "

He hung up the call and looks back at his mother ,

" Please eat something and take some rest " he orders her with a expression less face .
