That question did not let her sleep whole night, and the question was - Did Arjun use to love Riya? Isn't it strange? She met him a couple of times, merely know him but so much trying to know about his life. What was that which was forcing her to do so? She herself did not know. After disconnecting call, so much she was lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice Sahil was calling her. When she didn't response her, he held her hand.

Sahil: Jana? What happened? Where are you lost? Are you alright baby? 

Naina still didn't reply anything.

Sahil: Are you angry? Sorry na baba, I had to go last night. It was an urgent work. I didn't tell because you're taking rest, and I didn't want to disturb your sleep. Sorry na Jana. Please forgive me and talk to me na.

Naina looked in Sahil's eyes and found tears. She knew that Sahil can't tolerate her ignorance. Yes, she was angry on him for his last night's disappearance which had never happened before from last one years. He always used to inform her whenever he had to go far from her especially after her accident which took her everything, her family, her friends even her memory also. Unable to see his hurtful eyes, she smiled and hugged him.

Naina: Baby don't be sad. You know na I can't see you like this. Yes, I was angry. How could you go without telling me? Thanks to Bade Bhaiya's call otherwise I would have gone mad thinking about your whereabouts. Never do that again. I love you so much. I have already lost everything. I don't want to lose you.

Sahil: You won't. Nothing can separate us.

Saying this Sahil kissed Naina's forehead, and she hugged him more tightly feeling his lips on her head.

ETF...

When Arjun reached the office, no one was there except Sameer and the commissioner Sir. Both of them were waiting for Arjun in Sameer's cabin. Arjun greeted Commissioner sir.

Arjun: Sir, you are here? Is everything alright?

Commissioner: No, nothing is alright.

Arjun: What happened?

Sameer: Riya's parents are missing.

Arjun got confused.

Arjun: What you mean by missing? They are in Kolkata. Right?

Commissioner: Yes, they were Arjun. After Riya's death, they wanted to go back to their hometown. I personally had a talk with the commissioner of Kolkata. I told him about Riya's bravery, and he had promised me to take care of her family. I was also in touch with them. But today, early morning I got a call from Kolkata police saying that her parents are missing.

Arjun: How can two persons go missing all of a sudden? Did anything happen? Like do Kolkata police have any information?

Commissioner: No Arjun. That's why I want you to go to Kolkata to investigate.

Sameer: Why only Arjun, Sir? Whole ETF team can go there. Riya was the part of ETF and her parents are like ours. We'll try our best to find them.

Commissioner: I do want to send the ETF team but you have a case here.

Sameer: Case? Which case Sir?

Commissioner: Last night I got a call from Sahil Singhania.

Arjun: Sahil Singhania?

Commissioner: Yes, Sahil Singhania whose party all of us attended yesterday. I got a call from his manager stating that last night there was someone in the party who wasn't invited.

Hearing this Arjun remembered the man who got lost in the dark when Sakshi had called him behind. He was talking to someone over phone and yes, he was talking about Sikandar his biggest enemy. This could be a chance to catch Sikandar, thinking that Arjun said

Arjun: Sir, I think I should be here to see Mr. Singhania's case. 

Commissioner: But Arjun, I want you to go there to look for Riya's parents.

Arjun: Sir, you send Rathore Sir there. I'm sure he could solve that case easily. I think I'm needed here more. This is important.

Sameer: What do you mean by this is important Rawate? You think Riya's parents are not important. The girl who was the part of your team, the girl who sacrificed her life to save the lives of whole city, her parents are not important.

Arjun: I didn't say like that. I said I'm needed here more. And I don't want to give any explanation. I'm handling Mr. Singhania's case and that's final.

Saying this Arjun left the office. Commissioner shook his head seeing Sameer and Arjun's argument. Soon all ETF team came to the office. After discussion, Sameer, Ayesha, Chhotu and Sakshi left for Kolkata for Riya's parents' case.

Singhania Mansion

Arjun and Shree were busy in interrogating the servants of house, checking the guest lists and CCTV footage. It was afternoon and till now they haven't met Sahil and Naina. The head of staff informed that both of them have gone for a meeting. Basically it was Sahil's business meeting but he always take Naina with him.

Arjun: Shree, hack all the system and copy all the CCTV footages. Whatever videos they showed, I don't think, it was all.

Shree did not reply. He was angry on Arjun. How could he choose Sahil's case over Riya's parents' case. He only nodded his head and started his work. Shree successfully copied the videos. They were about to open and see all the videos one by one, the car's horn informed them about Sahil and Naina's arrival. Naina got confused seeing Arjun and Shree in her house.

Naina: What a pleasant surprise Arjun? (looking towards Shree) Hey Shree, how are you doing?

Shree: I'm doing well. We came to do enquiry.

Naina: Enquiry? About what?

Seeing Naina confused, Arjun looked towards Sahil. Naina also followed his eyes.

Naina: What is going on Sahil?

Sahil: Sorry Jana. I didn't tell you but something happened yesterday.

Naina: What?

Sahil: When we were in the party, one of the security guards informed me that someone was trying to search something in my study room. They could not catch them but they saw him holding something in his hands. They were following him. I also went after him.

Naina: What? You went after him? Few days back, someone tried to kill you and still you went after that mysterious man. It could be dangerous. How could you do that? That's why you were out whole night. How could you be so careless? Didn't you think about me?

Naina started crying. Seeing her crying all three men Sahil, Arjun and Shree became restless. Her tears started pricking their hearts. Well, about Sahil toh we can understand but why do Shree and Arjun are feeling like this.
