Aryan and Tanvi spend the entire day hanging out inside her little apartment with Shamsher, after which they explore the officers' residential complex. Now, as the evening falls, they are seated on a bench overlooking the ground within the complex, enjoying the breeze and soft ice cream. Thank God, ice cream is available in the little conventional store within the block; Aryan muses how the officers' lives away from homes are both strangled yet comfortable.

The other officers are moving about, enjoying their day off in whatever way possible. Shamsher is the sweet baby perched in Tanvi's lap, observing it all with not a sound or a bark. Tanvi's one hand clutches the ice cream cone her beloved bhai purchased for her and the other plays with the golden fur of her dog's crown.

"Han Bhai." Tanvi answers without looking at him, smiling. "Thank you for coming here."

"Thank you kaisa? I am always happy to spend time with you

"Thank you kaisa? I am always happy to spend time with you. Lekin apni life aisi ki possible nahi ho raha."

"Yeah, bhai. I know. Ghar mein sab kaise hain maa papa?"

"Awww, you're such a sweet son and bhai." Tanvi looks at Aryan and pulls his cheek. "I hope tum khud ke liye bhi time nikal pa rahe and you're happy."

Aryan nods

Aryan nods. "Woh main kar raha. Mera chod, apni bata. Kya hua, batayegi? I can see. Tu cheerful hai lekin kuchh toh baat hai jo tujhe pareshan kar rahi. Aur tere dost bhi toh bol rahe that you were feeling low..."

Tanvi's smile falls. She looks away from Aryan.

"Tum dekh rahe ho na, bhai. Main theek hi hoon.."

"Han! Bahar se toh khush hai lekin andar... Mujhe aisa lag raha ki tu kisi wajah se pareshan hai..."
