Silently...

Part: 37

Seeing Sakshi laugh at herself, Sikandar is consumed by rage. He glares at her and shouts angrily.

Sikandar: Shut your mouth!

(Then, looking at the girl standing in front of him in simple clothes, he asks)

Raj: Who are you? Riya was supposed to be here. Where is she?

Saying this, Sikandar points his gun at her. The girl trembles in fear.

Girl (terrified): Sir, I'm Kanta, kaamwali Bai sir. I don’t know anything. I was only told to go to that house.

Sikandar: Don’t lie.

Kanta: Sir, I’m telling the truth. Please let me go. I haven’t done anything. I have nothing to do with all this. I don’t even know Riya madam.

Sikandar: Who told you to go to that house?

Kanta: Sir… my friend told me to. Actually, she was supposed to go herself, but today her son suddenly fell ill, so she asked me to go instead. That’s why I went.

Sikandar (angrily): Ugh! And who is this friend of yours?

Kanta: My fri—

Suddenly, Kanta starts gasping for breath. Before anyone can understand what’s happening, she collapses to the ground. At Sikandar’s signal, his men check her pulse—and realize she’s dead.

Seeing this, Sakshi starts laughing.

Sikandar: Will you stop laughing like a madwoman?

Sakshi: No. And maybe now you’ll go mad like me. Where Riya is—neither you know, nor do I. And after kidnapping this girl, Arjun must already be alert. With her death, the secret of where Riya was last has died too.

Hearing this, Sikandar’s anger boils over. He turns furiously toward his men.

Sikandar: How did this girl die? I told you to knock Riya unconscious and bring her to me!

Sakshi: I’ll answer that. When she was kidnapped, I injected poison into her while she was unconscious. I hated Riya that much.
But I never bothered to check whether she was actually Riya… or someone else.
Anyway, it’s good. Even if I didn’t get my love, you won’t get your revenge either—that makes me happy. You tried to deceive me. And now that I know Arjun can never be mine, I have no desire to live anyway.

She starts laughing hysterically.

Seeing her laugh, Sikandar shoots her in rage—and with that, Sakshi’s chapter comes to an end.

Sikandar then calls the man who has been keeping an eye on Arjun. He learns that Arjun and Sameer are still at the ETF office—and that Riya never went there. The moment he hears this, Sikandar orders his men to find Riya as soon as possible—before Arjun does.

Morning Time

Arjun and Sameer were so deeply immersed in work that they didn’t even realize when the night passed and morning arrived. They were still lost in files, CCTV videos and discussions when suddenly Arjun’s phone rang. It was a call from his informer.

Arjun: Yes, tell me. What’s the update?

Informer: Arjun sir, I couldn’t call you last night. Sahil has reached Mumbai.

Arjun: Mumbai? How did he come here? Yesterday you told me his condition was very serious.

Informer: He made a phone call, sir. I think it was to his brother Raj—because within ten minutes, some people arrived and took him away under tight security. I followed them and found that they went straight to the airport. From there, Sahil left for Mumbai on a private flight.
