"THA GEY PANTS HAADHA CUTE EYY"

A vow admist the grief

Shaii and Pop arrive at the scene to see Naanu's body. The atmosphere is heavy with sorrow, and the sight of their dear friend brings a flood of tears. Aiky and her team have already examined the body and found the same bag strap marks on Naanu's neck as on Kohinoor's. Strangley, Naanu's left big toe is also missing, just like Kohinoor's. The bodies are now being handed over to their families for burial and religious rites.

In the somber setting, Shaii, usually strong-willed, can't hold back her tears, and even Pop, known for her bubbly personality, breaks down. But it's Syn, Naanu's boyfriend, who cries the hardest. Syn, deeply connected to Naanu, brings her favorite mas mirus and eats it beside her lifeless body—a poignant act that underlines the depth of his grief.

In the midst of this emotional storm, Shaii's sadness hardens into determination. She vows silently but with unwavering resolve to find and punish the shadowy figure responsible for these heinous crimes. Desperate for answers, she confronts Aiky, the officer in charge, demanding to know if any leads have been found. Aiky, however, dismisses her harshly. "You're too young to be involved in this," she snaps, her tone sharp and unyielding. "This isn't your business, and you're not on the suspect list anymore. Stay out of it and focus on being cautious. The killer is still out there."

But Aiky's cold words only fuel Shaii's resolve. That very night, determined to take matters into her own hands, Shaii and Pop decide to sneak into Aiky's house. At 3:00 AM, they crawl through a small kitchen window, armed with only a flashlight and their wits. Shaii heads straight for the living room bookshelf, knowing Aiky would keep important files there. She quickly sifts throudgh the documents, seeking any clue that might bring her closer to the truth. Meanwhile, Pop, ever curious, is distracted by the oddities around the room.

"Pop, could you please focus?" Shaii whispers urgently, her nerves on edge.

Pop, unperturbed, picks up a decorative skull from a side table. "Oh my God, I think this is a real human skull!" she exclaims in a hushed tone, her fascination growing.

Ignoring Pop's antics, Shaii continues rifling through the files, uncovering details about the case: the mysterious red ink on Kohinoor's arm, the significance of the bag strap, and the missing toes. But suddenly, Pop accidentally drops the skull, the loud crash echoing through the quiet house.

Aiky, jolted from her sleep, calls out, "Who's there?" Her voice is laced with suspicion as she grabs a pocket knife to her defense and starts cautiously approacjing the noise. Shaii, panicking, dives under the dining table, but in her haste, she leaves the file lying on the floor. Pop, equally startled, hides behind a heavy curtain which covered her head to toe, her heart racing.

As Aiky inches closer, she notices the curtains swaying slightly. Sensing something is off, she thrusts her knife into the curtain, missing Pop's head by mere inches. Pop, drenched in cold sweat, clamps her hands over her mouth to keep from making any noise. At that moment, a fork clatters to the floor in the kitchen, drawing Aiky's attention away from the curtains. She turns to find her fluffy cat, Zaha, prowling around.

With a sigh of relief, Aiky lets her guards down lowering her knife. "Zaha, you're going to be the death of me," she mutters, scooping up the cat. Her eyes briefly scan the room, falling on the scattered file. Assuming Zaha is responsible for the messes, Aiky picks up the papers and takes Zaha back to her bedroom.

As soon as the coast is clear, Shaii seizes the opportunity. She rushes to grab Pop, who is still trembling, and they both make a hasty exit through the window they originally entered from. The two barely breathe a word to each other until they are safely back outside, hearts still pounding from the close call.
..
The following day at college, Shaii and Pop gather to discuss the new information they uncovered. Their friend Shiny, who hasn't been involved in the recent events, joins them, completely unaware of the serious situation. Shiny, an old classmqte who passed her exams and studying degree course at Business school, is shocked when Shaii breaks the news about Naanu's death. Shiny's eyes widen in exaggerated surprise, her face a picture of over-the-top disbelief. Her reaction is so dramatic that Shaii and Pop can't help but laugh, though Shiny remains oblivious to what's so funny. They end up chatting away, losing track of time and completely missing their busines class lecture.

Two hours later, Rihulaa Miss finds them and drags them back to class A4-13, where she sternly scolds them for missing the lecture and scoring poorly on their assignments. She particularly singles out Pop, who has yet to upload her assignment on Moodle. "Pop, will I receive your assignment after a decade or a century?" Rihulaa Miss quips, her tone half-serious, half-joking.

About an hour into the lecture, Bible enters the room, responding to Rihulaa Miss's earlier request to meet him. She hands him a participation slip for the upcoming MMA tour, which will be held in a week. Bible starts to sign with his red pen, but Rihulaa Miss stops him. "You're not marking a tutorial, Don't you have a blue pen?". she asks, her voice firm. "Slips aren't meant to be signed with red pens dhariyaa!". Bible borrows Shaii's pen, signs the slip, and exits the room.

After another hour, Rihulaa Miss finally dismisses the class, reminding them to stay focused on their studies despite the difficult time. "I know it's hard, especially with our class Naanu's passing," she says gently, "but you mustn't give up. Keep moving forward." She smiles warmly, offering a moment of comfort to the grieving students.

Just as the class is about to leave, Minna Miss bursts in with urgent news about a Louis Vuitton purse she ordered from Shein. As a devoted fan of branded items, Rihulaa Miss quickly abandons her students and rushes off with Minna Miss, leaving Shaii, Pop, and Shiny chuckling as they head out.

Later that evening, at Lamb's apartment, Lamb prepares a warm meal for Aik, who had mentioned being hungry. Lamb tries to bring up the topic of the murders, hoping to talk through the troubling events, but Aik, exhausted and uninterested, brushes him off, claiming he's too tired. What Lamb doesn't know is that Aik has just returned from a night out, where he indulged in Sayya's lap dance with Gofi. After finishing his meal, Aik heads to bed, and Lamb, seeing Aik's relaxed demenor, smiles with a mix of relief and contentment. Despite all the chaos surrounding them, Lamb is grateful that Aik is happy and safe, at least for now.
