Life at the CID headquarters returned to its usual rhythm after the high-profile kidnapping case was resolved. Abhijeet and Vivek continued to work closely together, their bond stronger than ever. However, their relationship had not yet come to light among their colleagues.

One afternoon, while the team was gathered in the break room, Inspector Daya, a long-time friend of Abhijeet, noticed something different. The subtle glances, the quiet conversations, the way Abhijeet and Vivek seemed to understand each other without words—it all added up.

“Abhijeet, can I talk to you for a moment?” Daya asked, motioning towards an empty office.

Abhijeet nodded, sensing the seriousness in his friend’s voice. Once they were alone, Daya didn’t mince words. “There’s something going on between you and Vivek, isn’t there?”

Abhijeet hesitated, then decided to be honest. “Yes, Daya. Vivek and I are together.”

Daya’s expression was a mix of surprise and concern. “I didn’t expect this. You know how the department can be about relationships like this.”

Abhijeet nodded. “I know. But this is important to me. Vivek is important to me.”
