Rajat got up and messaged purvi asking how she was but didn't wait for a response because he thought she would be sleeping. He went straight to the bureau because he was fully focussed on getting any and every bit of information from that guy who shot purvi.

At bureau Daya, Abhijeet, Sachin, Rajat, and Freddy were there around that man for questioning.

Daya: Kal tujhe aaraam se handle kiya iska matlab yeh nahi ki aaj bhi itne araam se pesh aayenge. Agar aaj nahi bola toh teri life ko yehi good bye keh de.

Abhijeet: Agar tu ne muh nahi khola toh ham koi aur rasta dhundhlenge tere uss senior ko pakadne ke liye par teri life toh yhi khatam hogi... soch samajh ke bolna.

Rajat was trying his level best to keep his anger in control. He just stood there with clenched fist hoping not to use all his energy towards that man for shooting purvi.

Sachin: Tera boss kon hai?

Person: Nahi malum

Freddy: Tumne hamare ek officer par goli kyu chalayi?

Person: Maine utna hi kiya jitna mujhe bataya gaya...

Daya: Kisne tumhe shoot karne ko kaha?

Person: Nahi malum

Abhijeet: Tumhe kya malum hai itna batado.. baki hum pata kar lenge

Person: Mujhe kuch nahi malum.

Rajat was losing his cool. He instantly grabbed that guys collar and started hitting him hard on his face.

Rajat: Kuch bhi malum nahi to tujhe zinda bhi kyu rehna hai? Kisi pe goli chalata hai woh bhi sirf is liye ki koi tumhe order degaya hai. insaan ki life ka koi value nahi tujhe? Kisi ko itni asaani se kaise maar sakta hai? Woh bhi ek ladki ko?

All the while he was beating that guy up continuously to the point where he fainted and there was blood all over his face. He clearly lost some teeth in this beating. His eye was starting to swell up. Rajat was still hitting him uncontrolably.

Daya and Abhijeet finally managed to pull Rajat away from the fainted suspect.

Abhijeet: Control karo apne gusse ko Rajat. Hum sab ko gussa aa raha hai par hame information chahiye. Yehi ek aakhri lead hai iske boss ko dhundhne ka. Isse ham marne nahi de sakte.

Daya: Haan Rajat, Control yourself. main jaanta hu ki tum Purvi ke liye gussa ho par apne emotions ko duty ke time pe control mein rakhna sikho.

Rajat let himself free from the grip of Daya and Abhijeet and walked out of the bureau in anger. both Daya and Abhijeet thought it's best to give him some time to cool off and the suspect was unconsious anyway so they also took a break.

Since Sachin and Rajat are very close friends, Sachin knew that something was really eating away at Rajat. He is a generally serious strict person but today he let his anger take over his normal professional manner. He had to find out so he went to Rajat who was outside pacing up and down the corridor breathing hard trying to calm down.

Sachin: Rajat, ab bhi gussa ho?

Rajat: Nahi. matlab haan... Daya aur Abhijeet sir kaise keh sakte hain ki iss aadmi ko hum professionally handle kare? Usne purvi par goli chalayi. Goli uske heart ke itne kareeb lagi. Agar purvi ko kuch ho jata toh? Kya un dono ko koi farak nahi padta?

Sachin: Rajat, tu bhi janta hai ki Purvi dono sirs ke liye kya mayne rakhti hai. Par duty ke time pe personal hona sahi nahi hai yaar. Yeh baat to tu bhi jaanta hai.

Rajat: Jaanta hu yaar.

Sachin: Kabhi bhi agar main over react karta hu toh tu mujhe calm karta hai toh aaj tujhe kya hogaya?

Rajat: Kuch nhi Sachin. Bas aise hi.

Sachin: Main tujhe bohot ache se jaanta hu Rajat. Jaanta hu ki tujhe purvi ki parvah hai. par kitni parvah hai yeh shayad nahi jaana aaj tak. Ab shayad samajh raha hu.

Rajat: Mujhe nahi pata ki tune kya samjha par bas itna keh sakta hu ki goli bhale hi purvi ko lagi par dard mujhe hua hai. usse main takleef main nahi dekh paa raha hu.

Sachin: Acha chal mind thoda clear karle. Abhi hame wapas andar jana hai. Woh uth gaya hoga. Agar nahi utha toh hum utha denge. Chalke case ko aage badhate hain.

Rajat: Haan chalo.

Sachin: Tu shaant rahega na?

Rajat: Haan yaar iss baar shant rahunga. pata nahi purvi ka naam aate hi mujhe itna gussa kyu aa jata hai.

Sachin: Jald hi samajh jayega... and he smiled and Rajat acted like he didn't hear it and they both walked in to the bureau.

Rajat: Daya sir, Abhijeet sir, i'm sorry main thoda apna control kho baitha. Ab main normal hu. Hum andar chale sir?

Daya and Abhijeet: pata chala itna gussa kyu aaya?

Rajat: bas... aise hi sir.

Daya: Jald hi pata chal jayega... and he smiled at Rajat and patted his shoulder and abhijeet too patted his shoulder and they all went back in.

Freddy threw water on the guys face and he awoke. He was clearly in pain.

Freddy: Abhi bhi kuch nahi malum tumhe ya kuch bolne ka mood bana?

Person: Sir... aahh.. mujhe.. sirf itna pata hai ki uss aadmi ne phone kiya aur kaha ki ek do din mein CID wale aake inquiry karenge aur agar koi bhi zyada ghuske qusetioning kare to usse goli se maar dena.

Rajat: Hamare sare officers questioning kar rahe the toh sirf ek par hi kyu goli chalayi?

Person: Sir... waha koi kuch nahi jaanta tha. sirf woh paan wala hi ek wittness tha aur mujhe bataya gaya ki jo bhi usse sawaal jawaab karega usse maardu.

Sachin: Par waha par do officers ne question ki... ek ko hi goli mari tumne.

Person: Woh isliye sir ki mujhe mere boss ne ek photo bheja aur kaha ki kisi ko bhi goli maaro par isse nahi and he took out his phone to show the picture.

Daya was shocked: Yeh toh Shreya hai. Dekh ab sidhe sidhe bol ki tera boss kon hai. Warna phir se maar khayega aur iss baar behosh nahi hoga marr jayega.

Person: Sach mein nahi malum sir, isse phone pe uske calls aaye. Chahe toh aap check karlo.

With this the questioning session ended. Daya was very worried because the criminal knew Shreya. He didn't know the first thing to think about why that person had Shreya's photo.

Abhijeet: Agar uss shooting mein woh paan wale ko goli nahi lagi hoti toh woh abhi zinda hota aur case thoda to easy ho jata. bad luck...

Working on this case, the day ended and everyone went home.

At the hospital:

Doctor: Ab kaise feel kar rahi ho Purvi?

Purvi: Main bilkul thik hu doctor. Ab please please please mujhe ghar jane dijiye na.

Shreya: Purvi, doctor ko bhi toh apni baat bolne de.

Doctor laughed: Purvi ab ghar jaa sakti hai. Kamzori hogi par agar time pe khayegi aur dawa legi toh she'll be completely fine in a week.

Purvi was so excited that she jumped out of bed.

Doctor as if talking to a kid: Dekhiye aapko sirf ghar bhej raha hu. Iska matlab yeh nahi ki aap thik hain. Aaraam karna bohot important hai. (to shreya) Aap please isse rest karvaiye.

Purvi was frowning but she was still happy that she gets to go home because she hates hospitals.

Shreya: Ji doctor, i'll personally make sure ki woh bed se niche bhi nahi utregi.

doctor: Good. Do din baad check up ke liye aajana purvi. Thik hai?

Purvi: Ji doctor.

Freddy and Abhijeet came to help take Purvi home. They settled her in her room and told Shreya to call if either of them need anything at all.

After they left Shreya and Purvi settled in with a cup of coffee and started talking about the updates of the case. Shreya didn't go in to the bureau in order to take care of purvi but Daya updated her on the current situations.

Shreya: Daya sir keh rahe the ki jisne bhi tujh par goli chalayi uske boss ne khaas mera photo bhej ke kaha ki mujh par goli nahi chalaye.

Purvi: Woh tujhe jaanta hai?

Shreya: Lag toh aise hi raha hai.

Purvi: Tu kisi ko bhi jaanti hai jo koi galat kaam kar sakta hai?

Shreya: Jitna bhi sochu kuch nahi sujh raha hai purvi. woh meri photo kyu apne paas rakhega...

Purvi: Tu chinta mat kar Shreya. Daya bhayya tujhe kuch nahi hone denge.

Shreya: Jaanti hu. Is liye itni shaant hu. Ab meri chod... tu bata... haath ka dard kaisa hai?

Purvi: Thik hi hai. Par mujhe aise bed pe baithe rehna ya sote rehna bilkul acha nahi lag raha hai.

Shreya: Jaanti hu par agar sahi se rest karegi to hi theek hojayegi na. phir bureau main hi reh jana.

They both laughed.

Purvi: Main abhi washroom jake aati hu.

Shreya helped her. Just as purvi went in, her phone beeped. Shreya picked it up and saw that there was a new message from Rajat and she sensed that they both were talking to each other secretly.

Purvi came back in 5 minutes.

Shreya: Purvi... tujhe pata hai, kal raat Rajat sir aaye the tujhse milne.

Purvi: ha haan. Sab milne aaye toh woh kyu nahi aayenge.

Shreya: Accha... toh sab tujhe phone pe messages bhi bhejte hain?

Purvi looked at shreya wide eyed: Tune mera phone check kiya?

Shreya gave back purvi's phone: Nahi. par haan... itna dekha ki ek new message hai.. dekh ke bata toh kon hai?

Purvi was blushing a little: Koi nahi.

Shreya: Achaaa? Koi nahi? Toh main dekhlu?

Purvi: aa... woh... aise hi kabhi kabhi msg karte hain.

Shreya: acha... kya msg karte hain?

Purvi blushing harder: Chup kar na.

Shreya: Itna batado ki ek doosre ko apne dil ki baat bataya?

Purvi: Mere dil mein unke liye feelings hain par mujhe nahi pata woh mere bare mein kya sochte hain.

Shreya: Kal raat mujhe pata chala ki woh bhi tere liye bohot care karte hain purvi.

Purvi: Agar mere liye feelings hain toh keh dete na. kabhi kuch nahi kehte. Ek din bade ache se baat karte hain aur agle hi din aise baat karte hain ki main unki kuch nahi lagti.

Shreya: Shayad unke mind main confusion hai?

Purvi: Pata nahi unka confusion kab khatam hoga aur mujhe unke dil ki baat kab pata chalegi.

Shreya: Woh nahi keh paa rahe hain... par tu toh keh sakti hai na?

Purvi: Yaar main ladki hu... haan zyada bolti hu par phir bhi ladki hu. aise kaise keh sakti hu. Aaj tak kisi ko nahi keh paayi...

Shreya: Kabhi unhone koi bhi baat kahi jisse tumhe lage ki woh tumhe pasand karte hain?

Purvi: Haan kai baar. Ek baar pata hai kya hua...

Flashback (few months back):

It was a day off. Rajat was calling Purvi for the last half an hr but there was no answer. He was getting worried so he went to her house. He knocked on the door several times, rang the bell at least 10 times but no answer still. He was getting scared now. Finally after 20 minutes at the door, there was some movement in the apartment and he instantly started knocking the door and ringing the door bell. He kept saying "Purvi darvaza kholo"... Finally the door opened and Purvi was standing there holding her head. She was feeling dizzy and very weak.

Rajat instantly went near her and held her shoulders: Purvi? Kya hogaya? kuch toh bolo

Purvi: Sir (head) mein dard hai... kuch galat kha liya shayad, ulti ho rahi hai... aur fever bhi hai...

Her head was spinning and she was almost about to faint when Rajat grabbed her by her waist and lifted her in his arms. She didn't protest because she was too weak.

Rajat: last kab khaya?

Purvi: Kal subah. Uske baad se hi tabyat kharaab thi.

Rajat moved towards her bedroom while talking: Kal subah se kuch nahi khaya?

Purvi: Nahi

Rajat: Tum mujhe keh deti toh main tumhara dhayn rakhta na. apne aap kyu takleef main thi?

Purvi: Mujhe laga aapko kyu disturb karu...

Rajat placed her on her bed: Main abhi tumhare liye kuch khane ke liye lata hu. Dawai li kuch?

Purvi: Abhi tak nahi...

Rajat a little upset: Aur tumhe lagta hai ki main bekaar mein tum par naraaz hota hu. Itni bimaar ho aur dawai bhi nahi li. Yehi leti rehna main abhi aaya.

Within 10 minutes, he brought her some fresh fruit juice and medicine.

Rajat: Purvi, utho araam se.

She tried to sit up but couldn't. Rajat held her head and she grabbed his spare hand and sat up. He placed a hand on her shoulder while he helped her take her medicine.

Purvi making a crying face: Mujhe dawai lena acha nahi lagta. yeh tablet itni badi hai. gale se nahi utregi...

Rajat trying to convince her in a soothing tone: Purvi, yeh ek tablet le lo aur main tumhe phir kabhi nahi lene ko kahunga. please meri baat manjao na sirf ek baar? (looking at her negative reactions) mere liye?

Purvi was still frowning but she took the pill and made disgusted faces when swallowing it and she also squeezed Rajat's arm really hard while swallowing. Her nails dug into his arm but he didn't say anything.

After all the struggle she swallowed the pill and drank the fruit juice that Rajat gave her.

Rajat: Bhook lagi?

Purvi: Nahi bas sona hai. aur sir mein bohot dard hai. Bohot thakaan mehsoos kar rahi hu.

Rajat: Tum late jao... main sir daba deta hu.

Purvi: Are aap kyu takleef kar rahe hain, main thik ho jaungi sir.

Rajat: Janta hu... par tumhari madad kar sakta hu na thik hone me?

Purvi just smiled. She lied down and he sad on the other side of her with his fingers running through her hair as he patted her head and she slowly drifted off to sleep with a smile. A few hours later, when she was feeling better and woke up, she found Rajat sleeping while sitting next to her and his hand was still in her hair. She slowly woke up trying not to disturb him and sat next to him. She wanted to help him lay flat on his back so that he can get a better sleep and now that she ws feeling better, she was going to sleep on the couch. So she tried to wake him up but he opened his eyes clearly still in deep sleep, looked at her, and lay flat and rest his head on her lap. She was surprised but smiled and placed one hand in his hair and the other on his back and slept.

Next morning she was still sleeping while sitting and he woke up first. He was first confused about where he was but as he lifted his head slowly, he realized that he slept with his head on purvi's lap the whole night and he also noticed her hands on him. He slowly took her hand off and got up with a jerk and got out of bed. He felt very awkward and so he stepped out of the house for a few minutes for some fresh air and to clear his mind.

Rajat thinking to himself: main aise kaise sogaya... I hope purvi ne galat na samajh liya ho... main toh nind me tha pata hi nahi chala ki kab sogaya aur woh bhi...

Inside the house, purvi just woke up and couldn't find Rajat anywhere. She was thinking to call him but as she walked through the living room, she found Rajat standing outside running his fingers through his hair looking worried. She understood that he probably was feeling uncomfortable about sleeping on her lap so she didn't want to create more awkwardness by acknowledging it. She picked up her phone and decided to call someone.

Just then Rajat's phone rang and he came out of his thoughts.

Abhijeet: Rajat abhi mujhe purvi ka call aaya. Usne kaha ki uski tabyat thik nahi hai toh woh aaj rest karegi... koi case bhi reported nahi hai toh maine usse off de diya. Tum uske ghar ke paas hi rehte ho na... zara usse ek baar milke dekhna ki sab thik hai ya nahi.

Rajat: Ji sir. Main check karta hu.

Call ended. With this Rajat cleared his mind and decided to go back in and he knew that Purvi was up. He walked in and found her in the kitchen.

Rajat: Ab tumhari tabyat kaise hai?

Purvi: Ab main behtar feel kar rahi hu sir. yeh lijiye aapki chai.

Rajat: Thanks purvi. Waise abhi Abhijeet sir ka call aaya. Keh rahe the ki tumne unse aaj chutti ke liye permission manga.

Purvi: Ji sir. Abhi bhi weakness hai toh socha aaj rest kar lungi. Abhijeet bhayya ne aur kuch kaha?

Rajat: Haan, bureau aate aate tumse milke aane ko kaha.

Purvi: Toh aapne unhe nahi bataya ki aap kal evening ko hi mujhe dekhne aaye the?

Rajat: Socha bolne ka par phir laga shayad galat sochenge.

Purvi: Galat kyu sochenge? hum toh sirf dost hain na?

Rajat looked at her now... He saw in her eyes the anticipation of knowing what he felt for her. He simply said "Haan, hum sirf dost hain par yeh baat doosro ko kaise samjayenge... waise bhi, ab tum thik ho na, toh main chalta hu. Apna khayaal rakhna purvi."

Purvi a little sad: Ji sir.

Rajat sounded strict: Aur haan, agar kisi bhi cheez ki zaroorat ho to please call karna. Kal tumhari halat itni kharaab thi aur tumne mujhe call karna zaroori nahi samjha...

Purvi: Sir, main aapko disturb...

Rajat now in a softer tone: Tum mujhe disturb nahi karogi toh aur kon karega... phir kabhi aise akele mat suffer karna. Main hu...

Purvi smiled broadly: hamesha?

Rajat took a step towards her and placed a hand on her cheek: Hamesha. Ab main chalta hu. khayaal rakhna.

Flashback ends.

Shreya: Phir kya hua?

Purvi: Phir kya... agle din main bureau gayi aur unhone aise behave kiya jaise hamare beech kuch nahi hua. Main unke paas gayi thanks kehne. Pata hai unhone kya kaha... kaha ki agar meri jagah koi aur hota toh woh uski bhi madad karte thik usi tarah jistarah meri help ki.

Shreya: Woh shayad darte hain purvi.

Purvi: Main nahi jaanti woh mere bare mein kya sochte hain. Aur kabhi kabhi darr lagta hai ki agar unke mann main mere liye sirf ek coworker hone ke naate respect hai toh main kya karungi?

Shreya: Purvi, tu zyada soch matt. Kabhi kabhi hame apne dil ki baat sunne main bhi bohot waqt lagta hai. Sunkar bhi un suni kar dete hain... Woh jab sahi tarah se samajh jayenge ki tere liye unke dil mein kya hai tab woh tumse kabhi door nahi jayenge.

Purvi smiled. After their long chat, Shreya and purvi decided to sleep. Shreya put away their coffee mugs and joined her in bed.

Next day at bureau:

Shreya, Daya, Abhijeet, Sachin, Rajat, Freddy, and Pankaj were present in the bureau and they were all brainstorming who the culprit could be. Just then...

Shreya: Sir mujhe kuch yaad aaya. Yeh meri photo mere family trip ke time pe li thi. meri aur Raj ki family ek trip pe gaye the aur yeh photo Raj ke phone se li gayi thi.

Daya: Shreya, tum yeh baat ab bata rahi ho? Raj toh jail mein hai...

Abhijeet: Phir bhi, chalke ek baar confirm kar lete hain ki woh suspect hai yah nahi hai.

Daya and Abhijeet went to the police station to find out that Raj got a bail that very same day with a few hours of his arrest.

Abhijeet and Daya started to get worried. They went back to the bureau to find out that Shreya isn't there.

Daya: Shreya kaha gayi?

Freddy: Sir usne toh kaha ki aapne police station se call aaya ki aapne usse waha bulaya.

Abhijeet: Humne waha kisi ko nahi bulaya... Shreya kaha gayi?

Daya: Mere shaq confirm hogaya abhijeet, yeh Raj kuch na kuch gadbad kar raha hai... aur ab Shreya kaha gayi...?

Just then the bureau phone rang.

Freddy: Hello?

Person: Phone speaker pe rakho taki sab sun sake.

Freddy did as told.

Abhijeet: Kon bol raha hai?

Person: Aapko kya laga? Mere tak pohonchna itna aasaan hai?

Daya: Tum ho kon aur tumhe kya chahiye?

Person: Mujhe kya chahiye yeh chodo... tumhe jo chahiye woh mere paas hai.

Daya: Sidhe sidhe baat karo ya phir phone rakho... hum CID walo ka time waste mat karo.

Just then he heard a girl scream from the other end of the phone and Daya instantly recognized that the scream belonged to Shreya.

Daya: Shreya? Shreya tum thik ho? Yeh kya ho raha hai? kya chahiye tumhe?

Person: Mujhe kisi ka waqt barbad karne ka shoq nahi hai. Tumhe kya laga ki tum mujhe do thappad maroge toh Shreya tumhari ho jayegi?

Daya: Raj? Agar Shreya ko kuch hua toh main
