After cleaning whole house, Naina went to study room which now has become Arjun's room as Naina has captured his. First, she was little hesitant to go to that room thinking that it was his personal space then she thought " Arey what personal space, this place is dusty, and I need to clean it". So, she entered inside and as expected that room was really covered in dust.

Naina: God, how is he staying here? Ewwww, this man is really handsome but has no idea about cleanliness. I have to clean this room whether he likes it or not.

First, she cleaned all spider's web spread around, on the wall, corners, books, everywhere. Then, she went near the couch kept there which he uses for sleeping. While cleaning under the couch, she touched something with the broom. She knelt down and looked under the couch. She found a photo album.

Without telling anyone Shree borrowed one of his acquaintance's car and left for Kolkata. He did not book any train, bus or flight ticket. Reason...his heart told not to let anyone know what he was looking for. So, he thought going to Kolkata in a personal vehicle is better than any other means of transportation.

Shree (himself): Don't worry Ri. Nothing can go wrong in your life. I'll clear all the problems in your life. Little wait, once I collect the information about uncle auntie's death, I'll tell everyone.  

He took out his phone and called someone.

Phone Convo:

Shree: I'm coming. Day after tomorrow I'll be there.

Other side: Day after tomorrow? How are you coming?

Shree: Coming by car. Actually, I can't tell others about it right now and I don't want them to know that I'm going to Kolkata.

Other side: Ok, by the way I've started the work.

Shree: Thanks

Other side: Did you forget?

Shree (smiled): No Sorry, No Thank you in Friendship

Other side: Thank God you remember, otherwise Ri...

The other person stopped speaking at once when he remembered that Riya was no more for them.

Other side: Sorry Shree, Sorry for mentioning Ri again. I don't want to make you sad buddy but what to do, she is still with us, in our memories and sometimes our heart and brain fail to differentiate between memories and reality.

Shree: Arey don't be sad. Acha listen na, now I'll call you from another number. This number am going to switch off. I'll contact you after reaching there.

After completing the work, in the evening, when Arjun was about to leave the office, Sameer called him in his office. Arjun did not want to stay near him as he was still angry on his yesterday's speech on leaving past and moving on with Sakshi. Yes, he didn't take her name fully, but Arjun knew he was about to call her name. Seeing his annoyed face, Sameer understood that his former best friend was not in a mood to talk to him, but he still wanted to make him understand that now it was the time for him to forget past and move on. According to him, after forgetting past only Arjun could lead a happy and peaceful life and as everyone familiar with Sakshi's love for Arjun, she could be the best life partner for him. He knew that Arjun would argue but he still wanted to help his friend. His intention was not wrong, he cared for his friend though they were now not in good terms, but his good intention turned bad in Arjun's eyes who saw the thing in another way.

Arjun: Is there anything important Sir?

Sameer: Rawate, I want to talk to you.

Arjun: About?

Sameer: Your li...

Arjun: If you want to talk about my personal life then don't.

Sameer: Then should I talk to you about Sakshi?

Arjun: Sakshi's life you should discuss with her not with me. She is no one to me except a team member and if you want to talk about her regarding work then as I had told earlier, she is of no use in ETF.

Sameer: How can you say that she is of no use? You had told like this for Riya also.

Arjun (in high voice): You are insulting Riya by comparing her with Sakshi. Riya was a great officer who knew how to perform her duty, how to respect others but she, she is not like her. She is useless.

Sameer: Now, you are insulting Sakshi. She is not useless. How can you use such word for anyone.

Arjun: I am calling her useless for the team. Not telling she is a useless human. She is a media person but has no idea which news should be hid and which should be showed.

Sameer: At least, she knows how to show love.

Arjun stared Sameer. Sameer continued.

Sameer: She loves you a lot Rawate. She is a fun-loving girl who keeps smiling all the time, she tries to make everybody smile but cries for your attention your love...

Arjun: My love is for my wife, for my Roshni.

Sameer: Who is no more Rawate. Forget her and start a new life.

Sameer's this statement made Arjun very angry. How could he tell him to forget Roshni. Arjun caught Sameer's caller. His eyes were red in anger, but Sameer didn't back off today.

Sameer: Do you think, Rosh is happy seeing you like this? No, she used to love the Arjun who knew how to smile, how to have fun, how to enjoy every moment of the life. You have changed a lot. Seeing you living like this could never be Rosh's will. For her only, move on in life Arjun.

Arjun eyes filled with tears. He pushed Sameer and in anger, he left the office. He was about to start his bike when Sakshi's message popped in his phone. Seeing Sakshi's name Arjun grew angrier. She was calling him Stars Restaurant. Arjun started his bike and rode towards the restaurant in anger.

After completing all the cleaning tasks and taking bath, Naina climbed on the bed holding the photo album which she had found under the couch. She opened it. It contained many pictures of Arjun, Roshni and Sameer. All were happy in those pictures. Pictures of their college life, their funny poses, their beautiful smiles in those photos were the evidence how happy was their life. The marriage pictures of Arjun and Roshni gave Naina idea why this Arjun is leading a sad life with smile, without joy.

Naina (herself): He is looking so happy in these pictures. God, see, how is he looking towards Roshni. His eyes are full of love. Why God? Why did you snatch his love? 

Tears dropped from her eyes. She wiped those and turned the pages. On the last page there was a picture which surprised her. She took out the picture out of the album and was taking a good look of it when door got opened and Arjun entered inside in an angry mode. Before Naina could speak something, Arjun roaring in anger.

Arjun: How dare you? What do you think of yourself? Don't you have manners? How dare you touch my things? You people have no idea how to respect other person's privacy? All of a sudden you enter in other person's life and try to annoy them with your stupid acts. I'm just fed up of all these. I just hate all these. I hate people who do this and I hate you.

Tears dropped from Naina's eyes.
