Since Naina took The Narisa case, she has faced constant threats from the people in power and related personnel.

She knows a lawyer's life is filled with mysteries, luck, and constant threats to the lawyers and her family's safety.

Here the case is also the same, but Naina's presence of knowledge made her loving family members the citizens of France with the help of her brothers and connections when she joined her law school. So, in India, she is considered an orphan whose family died.

*(This does not have practical implementations, and change in citizenship is a tough procedure and is generally done by seeking Asylum. But being a lawyer comes with both pros and cons)

Naina generally does not live with her family, she lives separately and her presence at the Gupta house was just a coincidence. She came there after so much insistence from her grandparents, as they wanted to spend time with their grandchildren as they were getting old. Realising that she might be unable to spend time with them in the coming days, she accepted their request.

But, who knew that the Arora family would also arrive with Advait's wedding invitation and she would have a panic attack. Also, Advait would be the one to save her.




Naina's Cabin

She was so lost in the case file that she lost track of time and didn't even know she had several missed calls from Mihir, Rishi and her grandparents. She hadn't eaten anything since her discharge nor had she informed her family about her discharge.


Her cabin door opened with a loud sound and two angry men came in.

"Naina! What are you doing here?"

"What are you doing here?"

"I asked you that question first?"

"You took him here?", She asked the man beside him.

"Why are you asking him?", the first man spoke again.

"I am asking you something?", she said but this time in a cold tone.

"Mene usko kaha tha.", the first man replied.

(I told him)

"Didn't I tell you that you won't take him here?", she said to the second man, while he remained silent.

"Dadu, weren't you supposed to be at home? Why did you force him to take you here?"

"Toh mei kya karta? Tune kisiko inform nahi kiya ki tu discharge hogi hai, na hi to kisika phone utha rahi hai?"

(What should I do? You didn't inform anyone that you got discharged from the hospital and didn't even pick up our call.)

"Dadu, I have a case hearing tomorrow. And he told the staff that I won't come to the office for a few days."

"Di that was because you need rest."

"Rishi I am not a kid, I know what my body demands and I also know what is important for me at the moment."

Silence surrounded the cabin for a few minutes.


"How did you come here?", Rishi asked

"Meenakshi and Sarthak dropped me here, ON MY REQUEST."

"Di you could at least inform us."

"Sure, so that you can call them to go home because if no one would be here I won't be able to enter and continue my work."
