Arjun brought Naina to his house and told his informer to follow Sahil closely.

Now Naina... actually not Naina but the real Riya and Arjun are together under one roof.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arjun did not tell anyone that Naina is living with him. He had his own reasons. First, despite Sahil being a bad guy, he could not risk Naina's life as he knew Sahil's enemies were behind them, second, he wanted to reach to Raj Singhania because his gut feeling was telling that this man could lead him to his biggest enemy, Sikandar. This information he wanted to get secretly. Why? Because he knew nobody would believe his Sikandar theory and Sameer would once again crush his hope by saying useless stuff and he was still angry on him for telling him to move on in his life with Sakshi.

Arjun offered his bedroom to Naina. There was only one bedroom, and she needed it more than him as he didn't sleep and moreover that bedroom was the place where he had spent his most beautiful times with his lovely wife Roshni which he, now, did not want to remember. All those memories were beautiful but now they would haunt him for sure. When Naina had not come, that time also he used to sleep in the hall on couch to avoid getting nightmares. He took some of his clothes and went to the study room. After few minutes both came out of their rooms after freshening up.

 Arjun: Did you arrange your things? Do you need anything?

Naina: I'm fine Arjun. Thanks.

Arjun: For what?

Naina: For helping me and Sahil of course.

Arjun: There is no place of Sorry and Thank you in friendship, Madam.

Both smiled. Arjun had ordered food. They ate and then went back to their respective rooms. Naina got call from Sahil that he had reached the airport and soon he would board the flight. Other side, Arjun's informer also called him to inform that he had also reached the airport, and he had been keeping his eyes upon Sahil. Arjun had arranged the flight ticket.

Shree and Chhotu's place...

Shree told Chhotu that he had given Riya's diary to Arjun, but he had not told anything about Naina being their friend Ri.

Chhotu: Did Arjun Sir not ask why did you give Riya's diary to him?

Shree: I told him to find the answer by reading the diary.

Chhotu: But Shree we did not had the key. Did you find it?

Shree: No but I'm sure, Arjun Sir would surely find a way to open it.

Chhotu: I miss Ri a lot, Shree. Why did God take her? You know when we were at her parents' house, seeing all those old photos, all old memories of hers became alive. Rathore Sir was also very emotional at that time. I wish life was like a TV serial. People could come back even after dying.

Shree (in mind): She had come back Chhotu, but she does not remember anything. And there are many questions which answers I want to get at any cost.

Seeing that Shree was not replying, Chhotu thought that he was still emotional, the way he was in the office before Naina took him out. After coming back, he was normal but now again Chhotu was finding him sad. He hugged him.

Chhotu: Don't be sad Shree. She is happy wherever she is. She was the great soul like an angel. I'm sure she is in peace. And don't worry about his parents. I know that we could not do anything for them but now they are also with Ri. Altogether they are happy. Her parents are also in peace. So, don't be sad for her. Be happy for her. She used to like our happy faces.

Shree hugged him back but did not say anything.

Shree (in mind): Don't know Chhotu how should I react? Should I be happy to know that she has returned, or should I be sad knowing the tragedy happening in her life? But whatever it is, I'll find out the truth.

Sikandar's place...

One of Sikandar's trusted men, Altaf, was talking to one of the bodyguards of Sahil. He had bribed that guard to kidnap Naina. But after talking to him he got to know that Naina was missing. Sahil's bodyguard had informed Altaf that Sahil was going to meet his brother but his girlfriend Naina would be here, but she was nowhere to be found. She was with Sahil for the last time. He had also told that she had gone with Sahil wearing Burkha but when the Burkha was removed, there was a man inside it. Where did he hide Naina, they were not able to find out. After restaurant, Sahil and Burkha girl had gone to three more different places. Now, in which place, Sahil changed his girlfriend with someone else, nobody knew. Altaf was very angry and scolding the bodyguard telling him that he took money but did not do the work properly, but that bodyguard gave him very intersting information. After disconnecting his phone, Altaf called Sikandar.

Phone Convo:

Sikandar: Did you get the girl?

Altaf: No boss, Sahil was one step ahead. He hid his girlfriend somewhere.

Sikandar (angrily): Then why did you call me? To tell your failure?

Altaf: Boss, I have one more interesting news.

Sikandar: What?

Altaf: Two days back his men had gone to Kolkata to kill an elderly couple.

Sikandar: What is interesting in that?

Altaf: They were the parents of the ex- ETF officer, Riya Mukherjee, the same officer who had gulped the Xora Virus and...

Sikandar: And?

Altaf: She used to look like his present girlfriend, Naina Jaiswal.
