Ruhana is talking to Vineet while he teases her. She smiles lightly, but he notices tension lines on her face. He holds her hands in his.

"Are you worried about the new joinees? Tum keh rahi thi na ki tum unhe jaanti ho?" he asks.

"Yeah..." she begins to respond, but a commotion causes her to halt.

Ruhana looks in the direction of the noise and finds Suhanika and Anamika arguing. She sighs deeply. It's going to be difficult to manage these two, but as their boss, she has to control them. They're more like her sisters, and this will be hard to handle. She wishes Daya and Abhijeet were back in the bureau so they could manage these two.

"Uhh! Aap mujhe akele kyun nahi chhod deti? Aur aap mujhe mat sikhaiye. Mujhe apna kaam karna aata hai!" Anamika retorts.

"Par Anuu, this is the wrong way. Main tujhe sahi process bata rahi thi," Suhanika says, pointing at the computer.

"Mujhe aapse kuch nahi puchna. Mujhe kuch puchna hoga toh main Ruhana Di se puch lungi," Anamika says.

"Arey, wo busy hain. Isliye oth main aayi thi help karne," Suhanika explains.

"Oh please! Aapki help nahi chahiye. Already aap bahut zyada help kar chuke ho meri," Anamika snaps at her elder sister angrily.

"Ana! This is not home. This is the bureau. At least yahan par thik se baat karlo. We're cops here," Suhanika says, feeling all eyes on them.

"I don't know, aapko cop kisne banaya! Because jinko aapki help ki zarurat thi, unko toh aapne marne ke liye chod diya. Huh! Now please, mujhe sympathy mat dikhaiye," Anamika says angrily.

"You're crossing your limits, Anamika!" Suhanika shouts at her.

"You already did that years ago!" Anamika retorts and turns away.

Suhanika begins to speak but stops as Ruhana barges into the conversation. She knows these two started the argument without reason. She glances at Purvi, who shrugs her shoulders, baffled at the sudden argument.

"Suhanika! Anamika!! Enough of your arguing. Mujhe bureau mein kisi tarah ki koi argument nahi chahiye, samjhe tum dono? Ye tumhara ghar nahi hai ki argue karne lag gaye. This is the bureau, and you have to maintain discipline here, did you get it?" she shouts at them, making them realize that fighting like kids won't do them any good.

Both Anamika and Suhanika lower their gaze. They know Ruhana is right, and discipline is important. They have to behave like cops in the bureau and will have to do the same. Why wouldn't they? It's their workplace, and they have to abide by her words. She may be their friend, but right now, she's the head, their boss, and they have to follow her orders. Both girls apologize for their behavior, and later Purvi takes them to brief them on the tasks. Ruhana sighs.

It's the first day, and she knows this will happen daily. She won't be able to handle it every day. She has to find a way to manage these two. She wants peace while they work, but these two will create a nuisance, she knows.

Anamika hates Suhanika, while the latter wants to clear all the doubts. The reason might be genuine, but the truth behind the reason is still unknown. It doesn't justify disrespecting or being angry at anyone without knowing the details. Her reverie is broken by some voices.

"Why do they fight like this??" It's Purvi, who comes by her side.

"It’s a long story, Purvi. Anamika ko lagta hai ki Suhanika ki wajah se unke parents ki death hui thi. Lekin aisa nahi hai. I mean, Anamika ko galatfehmi hui hai. Aur isliye in dono ke beech arguments hote rehte hain,” Ruhana explains.

"Huh! This is a new thing! Aisa kaise ho sakta hai, Ruhana? I mean they should help each other. Yahan Anamika is hurting Suhani... I mean Suhanika," Purvi says, baffled by the reason.

"I don't know, Purvi. Papa keh rahe they ki Anamika ko galatfehmi hui hai. I hope wo jaldi door ho jaye. Suhani ki koi fault nahi hai isme. Kuch cheezein apne aap ho jaati hai na," Ruhana reasons.

"Hume un dono ko alag rakhna hoga, nahi toh wo dono ladti rahegi," Vineet says thoughtfully.

"Abhi we were having coffee, and it spilled on Anamika’s hand. Suhani tried to help, but she again yelled at her," Purvi says.

Ruhana glances at the two sisters. They are sitting in opposite corners. Anamika is talking to Nikhil and Pankaj, while Suhanika is scrolling on the computer, trying to get the gist of the work. Ruhana glances at Purvi again.

"Purvi! Tum please Suhanika ke sath raho. Aur Anamika, wo mere sath rahegi. Tum jahan bhi jao, Suhani ko apne sath rakho. Ab toh Daya Sir aur Abhijeet Sir aaye toh achcha hai. Mujhe ye dono lightly le sakti hain. Jawab bhi de sakti hain, lekin Sir ko nahi bolegi," Ruhana says.

Vineet presses her shoulder, giving her the courage she needs. He knows these girls can cause trouble, and he doesn’t want Ruhana to lose her composure. Meanwhile, the phone rings. Vineet picks it up. There's a case! Finally, they'll be busy for the rest of the day.

*****

The team leaves for Andheri, where a man has been murdered. Ruhana calls Anamika and asks her to be with her, while Purvi takes Suhanika with her in another car. These two won't argue now, at least.

The officers get busy with the case. There's a lot of work to do. Even Suhanika and Anamika are doing the jobs they are assigned. While checking the corpse, they find a card to a music academy. Maybe the man worked there. While Vineet and Ruhana question the neighbors, they learn that no one saw anyone coming into his flat. So, he knew the murderer, maybe!

They don't get any other major clues, so after sealing the area, they return to the bureau. The dead body is sent to the forensic lab. The officers are in the bureau discussing the case. Suhanika is researching the man on the computer when she notices something that leaves her shocked. She tells the others, and even Ruhana is shocked.

To Be Continued.
