All had gathered and Fais had just given the leadership to Avu. All were happy, but it didn't last long. One of the members came there running. 

M: Sir, ma'am, many people were kidnapped, but now the kidnappers and the old building has caught fire. There are around 10-12 people. 

Fais: You'll be leading this mission. 

Avu nodded and started instructing everyone. Fais remained between the members, wanting to see how she handles the situation. In the end the kidnappers were caught, all of them were saved and now they had to be taken home. They all were too scared to say anything, all the team members wearing a mask didn't help. But Avu calmed them, speaking softly with them, assuring them they are safe. Almost everyone's address was found, the team members taking them to their homes. Now only two were left, both girls. One looked to be around 3 years younger than Avu and the other 1 year younger. 

Avu: What's your name? 

Girl: Mahi. 

Avu: Mahi, can you say me where do you live? 

Mahi: I live in xyz area, but recently my home caught fire and everyone in my family caught fire. My uncle was taking me to his home but I got kidnapped on the way. I don't know where does he live. 

Avu: Ok, give me some details of him, we'll find him. 

Mahi gave them the details and a team member there already knew the person so took Mahi to her home. Avu turned to the last girl there when Fais held her hand to stop her and shook his head. The girl was unaware of her surroundings, looking out of the window, holding a bag in her hands. Faisneet went from there and returned after sometime in their normal attires without masks. 

Fais: Excuse me. 

The girl looked at them with a confused face. She was a cute chubby girl, her face was covered with dust. 

Fais: What is your name? 

She looked around then found a rock and wrote with it on the floor as it left behind red marks. Faisneet looked at each other. 

Fais: Reem? 

She nodded. Avu took out a book and pen and forwarded it to Reem. 

Avu: Where do you live? 

Reem wrote the name of an orphanage. 

Fais: Lets take her there then. 

She immediately stood up while shaking her head and moved back. 

Fais: Ok Reem, calm down, we'll not take you there. 

She looked at them hesitantly but then nodded. 

Avu: Where will you live then? 

She didn't ask the reason as Reem didn't look like she'd want to say it. Reem just shrugged. 

Avu: We can find some orphanage I guess. 

Fais: No, she is very scared of orphanages. 

He said seeing Reem's reaction. 

Avu: Can she live with me then? 

Fais: That would be better. 

Avu: Reem, will you live with me? 

She nodded. They drove back to Jaineet's home first. They went inside, Jai hadn't come yet. Avu gave Reem some clothes and she freshened up. She came out looking fresh and smiling. 

Avu: Better now? 

She nodded. ( I'll write it as Reem's dialogue but she is just writing it in the book.)

Reem: Do you live here alone? 

Avu: No, I live here with my younger brother, he is just one year older to you I think. He is at his(Faisal's) home right now. 

Reem: He won't have problem with me living here right? 

Avu: No he won't. So shall we go to his home or shall I call my brother, Jai here? 

Reem: I'll come there. He has to return home anyways. 

Fais: Ok then, lets go. 

The three went to the Nigams' home. They introduced Reem as Avu's friend and informed them about Reem not speaking. 

Avu: Jai aur Sid kaha hai? { Where are Jai and Sid?}

Abhi: Woh dono kamre mein hai, aa rahe hai. { They are in the room, they are coming.}

Soon Sidjeet came there. Jai was about to say something but then his eyes fell on Reem. She also looked at him and their eyes weren't ready to move away from the other. They looked away from each other when they heard Avu call Jai. 

Jai: Ha di? { Yes di?}

Avu: Yeh meri dost hai, Reem. Yeh humare saath reh sakti hai? { She is my friend, Reem. Can she live with us?}

Jai: Ha di, mujhe koyi problem nahi hai. { Yes di, I don't have any problem.}

Avu: Hmm, toh Reem, yeh hai mera bhai, Jaijeet Singh. { Hmm, so Reem, he is my brother, Jaijeet Singh.}

Both smiled at each other and quickly looked away before they get lost again. Avu noticed their behavior and understood they have a crush on each other, or it is love at first sight, but she didn't say anything right now. Suddenly realization hit her, she just had the first mission in her life which was led by her. A smile automatically formed on her face thinking of it. 

Avu: Acha ab hume ghar jana chahiye, Reem bhi ache se settle ho legi phir. { Ok we should go home now, Reem will also get settled well then.}

All nodded but Avu felt Sid wants to talk to her seeing his face. 

Avu: Sid, mujhe kuch baat karni thi. { Sid, I wanted to talk to you.}

They both went aside, Sid rolling eyes at Faishek's teasing expressions, while Avu was shocked by them. 

Avu: Why are they making those faces? 

Sid: They've been teasing me since the time we made the families meet, shipping us. 

Avu(sarcastically): Wow. 

Avu: Anyways, what did you want to talk about? 

Sid: Actually we have been confused about our relationship so I indirectly asked dada. 

Sid told her the answer Abhi had said. 

Sid: I don't know if we are a couple god chose as they said or not, but we can make our marriage successful right? 

Avu(smiled): Yeah, we can. Sid, do you think we can marry twice? 

Sid: You mean we marry again with family, keeping our first marriage a forever secret? 

Avu: I am just too scared of telling the truth to anyone. I don't know whether it is right or wrong. Just thinking, I am not sure of doing so.

How will everyone react on finding out about Sidneet's marriage?

Will they hide it forever by marrying again?

Will Fais really be able to break all links with the job he loved since he was a child?

Is this job going to affect the lives of the Nigams, Jaireem and Vaish?

Why is Reem scared of orphanages?
