It was late evening. Ragini was in her room with her sisters while Ryan, Sanskar and Aryan were sitting in the hall. After a while, they hears some footsteps and turns their eyes in the direction of the stairs. Their eyes widens seeing the sight in front of them.

Sanskar: bhabhi, is it you?

Ryan: I can't believe it.

Ragini was standing in front of them and she wasn't looking like Ragini at all. Her long black hair were now short brown and were falling on her forehead. Her black eyes were also looking brown because of the lenses. Her eyebrows were looking thinner than always. She was wearing a jeans with a white shirt and blue jacket over it and high heels.

Misha: this is Misha's magic.

She says proudly while Swara and Naina rolls their eyes.

Swara: ya, we did nothing. Everything is done by her only, that too alone.

Misha bites her tongue at that while the boys laughs.

Aryan: where's this Aru now? We're getting late.

He says looking up at the stairs. Everyone turns their eyes in the same direction as the hears footsteps approaching. They were left with wide eyes and open mouth seeing Arjun. He smirks at that.

Aryan: Aru, tu to buddha ho gaya re. Aur teri to shaadi bhi nahi hui. (Aru, you got old and you didn't even get married.)

Everyone chuckles at that. The artists who did Arjun's makeover also leaves from there and everyone turns serious as they discusses the plan again.

Aryan: remember, we can't afford to make a single mistake. Just think about Laksh and act smart.

Everyone's nods determined. Ragini along with Aryan and the three brothers except Ryan leaves the house.

They reaches a bar and were in their car itself, which was parked at some distance.

Sanskar: are you sure he'll come here tonight?

Aryan: never doubt Aryan Mehra. I'm thousand percent sure. I have taken out every information about him. He comes here every Friday.

Just then a black car stops right in front of the bar and a man comes out of the passenger seat. He moves to the back and opens the door of the back seat.

Arjun: there he is.

He says as they sees Sachin coming out of the car.

Aryan: bhabhi Aru, ready?

He asks looking at the back seat where Ragini and Arjun were sitting. Ragini looks at her phone which was having Laksh's photo on the wallpaper.

She nods as she caresses his photo and checks on her earpiece before getting out of the car along with Arjun. Sanskar and Aryan wishes them all the best as they keeps sitting in the car only, for any emergency.

Ragini and Arjun enters inside the bar with confidence and looks around for Sachin. They finds him sitting on a couch, drinking and a few girls were surrounding him. Ragini cringes at that.

Arjun: relax, Ms Tina, you're not supposed to behave like this seeing all this. You need to act like it's very normal and usual for you.

Ragini: of course, uncle Vijay.

She says as they moves towards Sachin.

Ragini: excuse me, if you don't mind, can we sit here? Actually, there's no other space to sit.

She says changing her normal voice. Sachin looks up at her and nods after thinking for a while. Ragini and Arjun sits down.

There Sanskar and Arjun were listening everything and also recording it.

Ragini: uncle, did you complete that work? You know I don't like to leave any work incomplete.

She says looking at Arjun.

Arjun: yes, beta. Those packets have reached the right place.

From the corner of their eyes they notices Sachin getting attentive. He sends the girls away. Like that Ragini and Arjun keeps talking about their non existent black businesses like drug dealings, weapons and other things. Sachin was taking very interest in their talks and being drunk he wasn't even doubting them a bit.

Sachin: uhm, Ms what's your name? I never heard about you in this business.

Ragini smirks inwardly as she turns to look at him.

Ragini: some things are better kept secrets know.

Sachin smirks at that.

Sachin: who knows that better than me. I'm a businessman know.

He says smirking more.

Arjun: yeah, we've heard about you.

Sachin: everything you hear isn't true know.

Ragini (in mind): yeah true, you dog, gorilla, pig.

Arjun senses her anger and holds her hand. Ragini looks at him. He shakes his head in no. She takes a long breath to control herself.

Ragini: means?

Sachin: I'm from the same world as you.

Arjun: you mean...

Sachin: yeah, that only. These drug dealings, human trafficking and all the black businesses are Sachin Singhania's main business and favourite hobbies. But no one ever got any doubt on me. I am too smart for anyone to catch me.

He says proudly.

Aryan: this time you will not be spared, Mr oversmart. You're underestimating the power of ACP Aryan Mehra and his gang.

He says smirking. Sanskar also smirks besides him.

Ragini: oh, I'm impressed.

Sachin: me too, with you. If you don't have any problem then we can become partners.

He says as he keeps his hand over Ragini's which was placed on her lap. Ragini grits her teeth at that while Arjun makes a fist of his hand and clenches his jaw.

Arjun: Tina beta, you please sit this side. It's so hot today and you know this oldie don't like hot weather. I'll sit at your place. It's closer to AC know.

He says still with clenched jaw. Ragini nods as she immediately gets up and they swaps positions with Arjun.

Arjun: ha, to ab bol kya bol raha tha. (Now say what were you saying.)

Sachin glares him before continuing.

Sachin: we can be business partners and spread our business. It'll give profit to both of us. What say?

Ragini: I don't find anything bad in the deal. What say uncle?

Arjun: of course, I agree with both of you. Let's become partners then.

Sachin: fine then! We can't discuss the things here. This is a public place know. I will tell you the address. We'll have our meeting there.

Arjun: okay, we'll come.

Sachin: no, not you. Let madam come alone. You know, two young minds will make a better deal.

Sanskar: saala harami kahi ka. Iski to main...

Aryan: sabse pehle to maine iska muh todna hai iske custody mein aate hi. (The first thing I'm going to do is to break his mouth when he'll come in the custody.)

Ragini (in mind): is kutte ko apni jaan pyaari nahi hai lagta hai. Iski to aesi haalat karenge hum ke kuch sochne layak hi nahi bachega. (This dog don't love his life, I guess. I'll teach him such a lesson that he'll never be able to think anything.)

Arjun (in mind): tu apne gunah or badha raha hai saale. Tujhe to narak mein bhi entry nahi milegi. (You're increasing your sins, you moron. You will not get an entry even in he'll.)

Arjun was about to speak but Ragini stops him by holding his hand.

Ragini: okay, where we are meeting then?

Arjun: but...

Ragini: it's okay uncle. Let's act like professionals.

Sachin: that's like a businesswoman. So, the day after tomorrow, room number 295, black rose hotel, 8pm sharp.

He says smirking. Ragini nods.

Ragini: okay, for now, we have to leave, Mr Sachin. See you the day after tomorrow then.

She says getting up along with Arjun.

Sachin: it was a pleasure to meet you, Ms Tina.

He says as he brings his hand in front of Ragini for a handshake but instead of Ragini, Arjun keeps his hand in his.

Arjun: same here... Let's go.

He says to Ragini and duo makes their way out of the bar. Ragini was about to say something but Arjun shakes his head as he moves ahead, towards the car. Ragini sighs as she follows him. Both of them sits at the backseat of the car.

Ragini takes the water bottle and washes her hand, which Sachin touched.

Sanskar: bhabhi, what is this? You just can't go to him alone. This is dangerous. That man is ridiculous.

Ragini: but...

Aryan: we can't take this risk.

Arjun: right! Laksh bhai is going to eat us alive if he came to know about this.

Ragini: relax guys, nothing will happen. I can protect myself and you will also be there for help if anything goes wrong. We can't back off. We have to take the risk for Laksh.

Trio: no!

Ragini: guys, listen...

But she is completely ignored by the three. Sanskar starts the car and drives to Gadodia Mansion. All four of them comes out of the car and enters inside the house. They finds everyone sitting in the hall, waiting for them. They also sits with them.

Naina: what happened?

Sanakar tells them everything. All turns their eyes to Ragini. They were glaring her.

Ragini: you all are overreacting.

Swara: seriously di, we're overreacting? Didn't you get what that bastard want? This isn't safe.

Ryan: and you are not going to do this. Not in any condition.

Ragini: I will do it. I will do anything it takes me to save Laksh. I know you all are worried for me and I know you are right at your places but we can't take risk with Laksh. If we couldn't make Sachin confess everything in these two days then we'll lose Laksh forever and we can't afford that. I can't afford that. We have only two days left before the hearing. We already wasted four days in extracting information about that Sachin and getting to know about his residents and places where he goes to reach him but we can't waste these two days. We have to act. We have to think from mind. We have to bring Laksh back.

She says as her voice lowers in the end. Everyone looks at her sadly before nodding their heads.

Misha: fine! We will do it.

Ryan: and no one has the power to stop us.

All: let's do it then.

Ragini smiles at her family while Aryan looks at the chip in which there was the recorded conversation with Sachin.

***

Aryan gets inside Laksh's cell and stands in front of him. Laksh was looking at him unaffected.

Laksh: what you all are doing?

Aryan: why should I tell you? Are you telling anything to me? You are the one who has started keeping secrets from me then I'll also do the same.

He says as he sits on the cemented bench in the cell. Laksh glares him.

Laksh: whatever you are doing, you're not going to succeed.

Aryan: we'll see buddy. Only one day is left and you'll come to know whether your family's trust and strength wins or your stubbornness. And by the way, enjoy your last night in the cell today. Your next night will be in Maheshwari Mansion, getting your punishment. God, am so excited. I'm thinking of shifting to Maheshwari Mansion for a few days, to see you suffering.

He says smirking as he moves out of the cell and leaves after locking it.

Laksh: what the hell is that punishment they all are talking about? And what are they doing?

He holds his head feeling confused and annoyed.

***

Ragini was standing in front of everyone in that changed look of hers. Everyone was looking at her worried as she sets the earpiece on her ear and hides the recorder in her clothes.

Naina: di...

Ragini: I'll be fine.

She says as she hugs her sisters.

Ragini: today is the last day. Aar ya paar.

Aryan: we will win for sure.

Sanskar: we don't have any other option besides succeeding.

Ragini, Sanskar, Arjun and Aryan leaves the house. They reaches the hotel Sachin told them.

Aryan: bhabhi, we'll be on the same floor. There's no need to feel scared. I'm ready to break his bones. If anything goes wrong, just give us a signal. We'll be there the next second. Just try making him drink beyond limit and make him confess everything.

Arjun: and he'll definitely confess everything after drinking. Alcohol affects him too much. I have seen it that day.

Ragini nods. She was trying hard not to show her nervousness. She was scared and worried.

Trio: all the best.

Ragini nods as she starts moving ahead. She stops in front of the room number 295.

Ragini: Ragini, you can do it. You have to do it for your love. Just think about him, nothing else. I love you Laksh.

She says as she knocks on the door.
