Sameer: Sakshi is missing.
Arjun & Riya: What?
Arjun: What do you mean missing? She was in custody.
Riya (shocked): She was? Why was she? Don’t tell me you sent her to jail because of that video.
Sameer (confused): What video?
Riya: That fake video… the one where she and Arjun were kis—
[Before she could finish and embarrass him, Arjun cut her off.]
Arjun: Leave all that. First tell me—how did she escape from your custody, Rathore? Don’t tell me you felt bad for her and let her go?
Sameer: Why would I do that? And now that I know her true colors, I would never let her go.
Arjun: Then where did she disappear? Did Aisha help her? They’re friends after all.
Sameer: Aisha has nothing to do with this. She was with Chhotu. They both stepped out of the investigation room for a few minutes. The door was locked, but when they returned, it was open… and Sakshi was gone.
Arjun: Did you check the CCTV footage?
Sameer: There’s nothing in it. All the cameras were hacked. There’s no video for that time period.
Riya: Then how will we find her now?
Arjun: We’ll handle it. You rest. We’ll be back.
Riya: What do you mean? Where are you going after leaving me here alone? Take me with you. I’ll help solve this case too. After all, I’m also an ETF offi—
[Suddenly Riya realizes what she was about to say in the flow. She cannot reveal yet that she is the real Riya Mukherjee. She goes silent, but nothing escapes Arjun’s notice.]
Arjun: You’re an ETF officer… what?
Riya: Nothing! I didn’t mean anything. Just go… find Sakshi.
[Arjun doesn’t argue further and leaves with Sameer.]

Sikandar’s Place…
When Sikandar returns and asks about Sahil, his anger instantly explodes.
Sikandar: You people can’t even do a single job properly! How could he escape? HOW?
I want him. Go. Find him. Before he reaches his brother and slips out of my reach. FIND HIM. GO!
Sikandar’s best men rush out to search for him. Furious, Sikandar storms into his room. The moment he enters, he starts breaking everything—throwing objects, smashing whatever comes in his way.
Sikandar (to himself):
I cannot lose. I WON’T lose to Raj again. He won’t win twice. My years of hard work cannot go to waste just like that. My revenge cannot remain incomplete. I will not let Raj live happily. His weakness is his brother… and his brother’s weakness is his girlfriend.
Sahil shouldn’t have run away. Now he will come to me himself… for his Naina.
Sikandar calls his men.
Sikandar (on phone): Did you find anything? I’m not in the mood to hear bad news.
Other side: Boss, good news. We found Sahil’s girlfriend.
Sikandar: Where was she?
Other side: She is at Arjun Rawte’s house.
Sikandar: At his house? Ahaan… Arjun and Sahil’s girlfriend are friends, right?
Other side: Boss… she is his wife.
Sikandar: Wife? Does Arjun know she’s the ex-ETF officer… Riya Mukherjee?
Other side: No boss.
Sikandar: Then?
Other side: Boss, it’s very confusing. According to all the information we gathered, he doesn’t know she’s Riya Mukherjee. To him, her identity is Naina Jaiswal… but he still calls her Riya Mukherjee.
Sikandar: What nonsense is this? Are you joking?
Other side: No boss. Even we’re going crazy since Altaf told us this.
Sikandar: And where did he get this information?
Other side: There’s a journalist in ETF—Sakshi Anand—who is obsessed with Arjun Rawte. To steal Raj Singhania’s file, Altaf tricked her.
But she turned out to be a fool. She couldn’t bring the correct file and got caught too. But Altaf managed to kidnap her.
After seeing Sahil’s girlfriend’s photo, she told Altaf that the girl is at Arjun Rawte’s house… and now she’s his wife.
Sikandar: Tsk tsk tsk… Looks like Arjun will lose his wife to me again. I’m coming to Mumbai. Prepare everything.
Other side: Okay boss. And what should we do with that journalist? She’s useless now.
Sikandar (laughing):
A person wounded in love becomes dangerous.
Now she will bring Arjun’s wife from his house… straight to me.
Understand?
Other side: Boss, you’re a genius. I’ll inform Altaf right away.
Sikandar hangs up… and starts dancing in joy.

An Isolated Road
Sahil’s strength was giving up. Wounds, two days of continuous beatings, hunger, and exhaustion had weakened him badly. He had been hiding from Sikandar’s men all day with great difficulty.
Sahil (to himself):
I have to go to Naina. Before Sikandar finds her, I need to reach her.
But how? Should I call Bhai? He’s the only one who can fight Sikandar.
But if Sikandar’s men trace him…?
Should I call Arjun? No… what if Sikandar’s men are watching him too? He’s also their enemy.
But I have to inform him. He’s the only one who can help right now.
But… how do I call?
------_--------------
Arjun and Sameer reach the office. Aisha and Chhotu inform them that they tried everything—checked everywhere, questioned everyone—but they still have no clue who took Sakshi, what exactly happened, or where she is now.
Right then, Arjun’s phone rings.
An unknown number.
Arjun: Hello…?

FanfictionIt is the story after the death of Riya in serial Arjun. Till her death, story is same as serial but after her death, it is my imagination which is totally different.
