In Khanna Mansion:

Bebe, Swetha and Prakash were sitting in the Hall and having their tea and snacks. On seeing Neil back from his office

" Good evening Bebe, Mom and Dad. "

Bebe, Swetha and Prakash- "Good evening Tillu "

Neil in mind - 'This is dangerous.. 3 are saying in chorus with enthusiasm. Something is wrong. '

Bebe- "Tillu how is your job going? Are they paying enough. Are you feeling satisfied?"

Neil- "haan bebe. Everything is good." '(In mind)Wait a minute, did I just hear the word salary I know where this conversation is heading to. Ohh Bebe.. Don't trap me.'

Swetha- " Neil, Bebe Asked you something. Give her reply. Why are you sweating 😓? "

Neil- "Bebe , Mom I know what's running in your mind . Currently I am on a mission. Let me complete it successfully and I will agree with you. "

Prakash- " Neil, tell me if you have someone in your mind . We will not force you into any relation son."

Neil- "Nothing like .... (in mind ) ' mmm that girl whom I met on the road. I want someone like her as my partner. Her long braid , big doe eyes and cherry on top her smile and kindness. '

Bebe- " where are you lost son? Give reply. "

Neil- " Dad , Bebe , Mom if you allow me can I find myself my partner? If I fail to then I'll agree for anyone. "

Prakash- " What's there to ask son. It's your life. As I said earlier we won't force you into something my dear. You have full rights."

Neil- " Thanks Dad. "
Saying this he hugged his Dad and ran into his room.

Swetha- " Have something and then run into your den sweetheart. What happened to him Prakash ji? "

Prakash- " Seems like someone has already captured ur Supercop's heart ❤️ "

Bebe- " if that's the case then that girl must be someone special. It's not easy to capture my Tillu's heart ❤️. Several girls have tried so hard to gain his attention. But they failed miserably. Even I had a doubt whether he is straight or not."

Swetha- " Bebe!!!!!!!! What are you talking?? In that case will tillu bring a boy as his partner.. hey God. I don't want a son-in - law . I want a daughter-in-law .😭😭😭😭 "

Bebe- " ohhh you shut up Swetha. O just told my doubt and you started seeing that as his future."

Neil's Room
Neil is lying on his bed changed into his comfortable track pants and T-shirt.

'Oh my angel where are you? I saw her near temple road . May be somewhere nee only she will be living . Wait Neil why are you behaving as typical teenager smitten by love badly? Haven't you heard the saying Everything is fair in love and war. So being a love sick puppy in this age is also a normal thing. Focus Neil Focus. These are all distractions. Focus on the case.'

'Oh no Tomorrow is Friday. I have to take extra care . '

He calls up DD and ask to send police force to the college tomorrow and to take extra care.

Randhir and Savitri was discussing about Rhea.

Randhir- " Savitri, where is your daughter?"

Savitri- " Oh hello you are talking as if I brought her from my house. You are her Dad. You should tell our daughter. "

Randhir - " whatever. Where is she?"

Savitri- "She went for her friend's birthday party. She will be back by tomorrow."

Randhir- " you are not controlling her. She has no limit for her enjoyment. She needs to settle down and have to marry someone "

Savitri- " let her enjoy her life. She will settle down and a Prince will marry her.But what we have to do with that ill fortunate girl? Her parents made that stupid will and now we have to find someone to marry her so that the property comes to us."

Randhir- " ohh Lady calm down. We will find a way for that. We will find some donkey to marry that garbage. By the way where is she? "

Savitri- " That girl has no control in her life . See she is in that street playing with boys . No shame nothing. Playing with street children. Our family's name will be spoiled in front of society. "

Randhir - "Call her . I will teach her a lesson today. "

Avni reaches the house and sees Randhir standing there with a whip in his hand.

She didn't understand anything.

Randhir- " Don't you know you have to be in house before 6:00 PM . What's the time now ? And what were you doing till this time? Do you want to spoil our family dignity ?"

Avni got scared. She knew what is coming.
Randhir started whipping her. She started crying. But no sound was coming out . After Randhir felt satisfied he stopped. Avni was not given dinner also.

She sobbed continuously and slept hugging her family photo.

Randhir- We need to find a suitable groom for her. Will marry her off and will get the property transferred to our name.
