Daya and Tarika are still living hideously at Vineet and Ruhana’s home. The latter have doubts but they are not sure. Moreover, they can’t push the former out of the house. They seem to be in some trouble. But, Vineet and Ruhana are making their own assumptions. They need some solid proof until they can point at Dhruv and Tara.

On the other hand, Abhijeet, Purvi and Rajat meet Jaipur Police’s ACP and they discuss the case of serial killings. Soonish, they are back in their hotel rooms and have assembled in Purvi’s room. Purvi whines at the moment attracting her seniors.

“Kya hua, Purvi?” Rajat asks gently.

“Han Pari, aise muh kyun banaya hain? Kuch na kuch clue toh milega na.” Abhijeet says, taking Purvi’s nickname.

“Par, kuch samajh nahi aa raha and I’m tired and hungry.” Purvi makes a face.

‘I knew it isliye maine order kardiya hain. Aise rone se kaise chalega, Purvi.” Rajat says caringly.

“Toh aap ye file dekho, aapka bhi dimag ghum jayega.” Purvi thursts the file in Rajat’s hand.

Rajat looks at the file and is astonished to learn that the file that the ACP gave them has all the names of the gang members behind whom Dr Tarika and Daya were sent on a mission. And most of the gang members were arrested but some are still roaming free. They might be busy making their own gang once again. And the two CID officers are capable enough to return back. But they’re still unavailable. And the CID cops have no idea about them.

“Sir, main toh ye soch rahi hoon ki Dr Tarika aur Daya Sir aakhir gaye toh gaye kahan? Aur agar ye gang ke log pakde gaye toh vo dono kahan hain?” Purvi asks her seniors.

“Vahi toh, Purvi. Ab tak toh unhe laut aana tha. 6 mahine se zyada ho chuke hain.” Abhijeet says, worrying about his best friend.

“ACP Ranvijay ne jis market ka zikr kia tha wo yahi paas mein hi hain, Sir. Kyun na wahan chal ke dekha jaaye. Wahan pe ek khali ghar bhi hain, jisey kuch log store ki tarah use karte hain. Kya pata wahan pe koi mil jaaye.” Rajat says keeping his point.

“Han Sir, I think wo Vijay usi ghar mein ho. Kyunki wo market toh  derr raat tak khula rehta hain aur log bhi bahut aate jaate hain. Maine toh ye bhi suna hain ki kuch dukaan vaale apna samaan us ghar mein rakhte hain kyunki usme aage ke 2 kamre khule hue hain.” Purvi says.

“Tumhe kisne bataya?” Abhijeet is astonished to find so much news together.

“Nikhil ne! Usey hi kaha tha pata karne ke liye. Uska message aaya abhi.” Purvi says with a smile.

“Thik hain, toh chalo, dekhte hain. Maine suna hai is Johari bazaar mein kamaal ka Rajasthani khana milta hain.” Abhijeet says.

“Ab hotel ka hi khana padega, Sir. Ruhana toh rok rahi thi aapko.” Rajat says, in order to lighten the mood.

“Wo mujhse zyada pyar se tumhe aur Purvi ko rakhti, Rajat. Lekin ek baar ye case solve ho jaye, hum chalenge uske ghar.” Abhijeet smiles at his juniors.

They lock the room doors and head out to Johari Bazaar. Their only goal is to see the closed house and to enquire people about it. They are asking different people on their way towards the empty bungalow. Though people didn’t give satisfying answers, the cops are still adamant to find the truth.

They reach the bungalow and take a close look at it but they didn’t find anything fishy about it. Purvi looks at her seniors.

“Sir, Nikhil ne jaisa bataya tha ye do rooms toh main bungalow se alag hain. Ab kaise pata chalega ki wo Vijay yahan hain ya kahin aur?” She questions her seniors.

“Purvi, us cloth store ke owner ne dekha hain Vijay ko yahan, toh ho sakta hain ki wo yahin ho. Koi secret kamra ya darwaza hoga.” Rajat says.

“Par abhi toh kuch nahi pata chal raha, Sir.” Purvi whines.

“Pata chal jayega, Purvi. Kal hum din mein yahan aake dekhenge. Kya pata koi clue mil jaaye.” Abhijeet says.

Purvi and Rajat nod and they head to a nearby Dhaba to have some food. Ruhana has already told them about the best one. They reach the Dhaba and meanwhile, Abhijeet spots a familiar figure. But before, he could concentrate, the figure was gone. There was no one around and it was dark too. Abhijeet felt that it was Tarika.

“Sir, aap zyada soch rahe hain. Shayad isliye aapko bhram hua hain.” Rajat says.

“Nahi, Rajat. Maine dekha wo Tarika thi.” Abhijeet reasons.

“Sir, I agree, lekin abhi hum sab Tarika ji aur Daya sir ko leke pareshan hain. Ho sakta hain wo koi aur hongi.” Rajat begins to convince Abhijeet.

“Haan Sir, laga toh mujhe bhi lekin wo koi aur lady thi.” Purvi shares her experience.

“Sir, chaliye, khana kha ke thoda aaram kar lete hain. Fir kal se wapas kaam hain.” Rajat says and the trio enter the Dhaba to have some good food.

******
Daya and Tarika reach home and they are breathing heavily. It seems like they’ve been hiding from someone. They rush up the stairs and enter the house.

“Tarika, agar Abhijeet tumhe dekh leta toh gadbad ho jaati.” Daya says firmly.

“Daya, aakhir kab tak bhaagenge hum? Kab sab thik hoga? Wo Vijay toh fir se murders kar raha hai.” Tarika says annoyingly.

“Dekho Tarika, main bhi pareshan hoon, lekin Ruhana aur Vineet pe koi aanch na aaye aur na hamari team pe—iske liye we have to live here. Chhup ke. Hum na Ruhana ko sach bata sakte hain aur na hi apni team ko.” Daya says firmly.

“Kab tak chalega ye, Daya?” Tarika asks and breaks into tears.

Daya aka Dhruv has no answer to her question. He just pulls her in his warm embrace. Yep, Abhijeet did see Tarika but by the time he could fully recognise her, Daya took her away and they reached RuVi’s home. They’re just calming down when something attracted their attention. They’re shocked at the moment and are unable to answer back.

To Be Continued.

Who heard Daya and Tarika? Is it Ruhana?

Stay tuned.
