Arjun called up Sameer and they update each other with the new details in the case...now all the clues were pin pointing to Anitha's husband....But they had no clear evidence for charges of murder against him.... ....His call records and bank statements were clear and didn't show any hint to him hiring a contract killer....
But yes, they file a case under various sections of domestic violence against Vivek and take him under custody....
But he continuously pleaded that he hadn't killed her...."maine nahi maara usse.....i love her....and I can never kill her..."
Rathod: [scowling at him] dammit! pyar karthe teh, isiliye usse tadhpaathe teh....
Arjun pitches in, "pyar jaise shabd tumaare mooh se nahi nikhalne chahiye Vivek....tum maafi ke agdhaar hi nahi ho....sirf sazaa milega tumhe...."
Vivek: maantha hoom ke maine usse torture kiya tha but I didn't kill her.....
Chotu:sir.....aap log jaahiye...main isse sach ugal waatha hoom!
Shree: [pressing Chotu's shoulders] control kar na.....
Arjun and Rathod look at each other for a moment and nod.....
The rest of the interrogation was to be done the next day as it was too late....
The team calls it a day and decides to leave office.....Though busy all through, Arjun hadn't failed to notice Riya's changes...All through Vivek's interrogation, she stood silently glaring at him.....if mere glaring could kill someone then, Vivek would have been dead by now....Arjun could feel such hatred in her eyes....
She wasn't talking much to him as well.....She replied in monosyllables and looked away when he looked at her direction...Was she avoiding him? He couldn't understand the reason.....may be the case and the cruelty to Anitha was taking a toll on her mind state.....He decided to leave her to herself for the time being....
When it was time to leave, Riya gathered her things and tried to move out....Arjun stopped her as always....
She tried refusing his lift but she couldn't match up his wits.....So after a bit of arguing, she had no choice but go with him....
The drive to her home was silent......
She was silent as always but today there was an unsettling feeling in that silence....He glanced at her several times but she kept her eyes fixed at the window....She didn't turn to him even once....it was unusual.....Arjun wondered what went wrong today.....why was he angry with him? Or was it her mood swings? He had to find out and sort it out without delay....he couldn't see her angry and silent like this...
Arjun spoke up finally "ab bathaa bhi dho Riya, kya problem hai?? kyun naaraaz ho?"
Riya didn't reply....
Arjun was determined to know the reason...so he parked the car and turned her around to face him "mujhse naaraaz ho, yeh toh dikh raha hai....ab reason bhi batha dho...."
As if Riya was waiting for the moment, she spoke up rather angrily "aapko Anitha ke character pe shaq tha na? isiliye doctor se usski husband ke baare mein poocha na?"
Arjun: [not able to believe that this was the reason for her anger] uss baat se ghussa ho?? Come on Riya, whats wrong with you?
Riya: aapne meri question ka reply nahi diya sir??
Arjun: woh ek case hai Riya...aur humein harr angle se usse dekhna padtha hai...
Riya: agar main Anitha ke jagah hoti tab bhi aap aise hi harr angle se sochte, hai na? that can only mean that you doubt my character!
