The fast paced city of Mumbai, where no one had time for their beloved people, was home to a person, named Sachin Khanna. He was no less than a celebrity, as he worked for CID, Mumbai, as a senior inspector. He was a homely yet workoholic person, which irritated his wife, Angel Khanna,who was a fashion designer.

Khanna House

A guy moved into his bedroom with a tray in his hand. He smiled as he saw his wife sleeping cosily. He kept the tray on the side table, and sat on the bed. He smeared her head…

“Angel wake up! “ he spoke softly.

She turned, kept her head on his lap..

“let me sleep na! “ she said.

“Angel, today you have final rehersals for the show, right? You'll be late. “ he said.

She opened his eyes and looked at him…

“You don't let me sleep. “ she said, pouting.

“I didn't do anything last night. “ he said innocently.

She glared at him at which he smiled.

“Don't be angry. Here is your coffee. “ he said forwarding a mug.

She sat up and grabbed the mug from his hand. He smiled at her act.

“you are so kiddish. Hamare bachon ko kaise sambhalogi? “ he asked.

She looked at him..

“Mujhe abhi bache nahi chahiye Sachin. I told you. “ she said.

He smiled…

“haan jaanta hoon. I was just kidding. Waise bhi mujhe bachchon ki zaroorat kahan, tum ho na mere paas. “ he said while winking at her.

She glared at him… “you mean to say I'm a kid? Ainwayi fashion designer nahi bani main. “ she said making a face.

Sachin laughed.. “you still are a kid.” he said.

She threw a cushion at him, which he caught in his hands. She glared at him, he kissed on her head… “Tum coffee piyo, main ready hoke aata hoon. Aaj bureau jaldi jana hai. “he said.

She nodded… “main breakfast ready karti hoon. Mujhe bhi drop kar dena. “ she said.

He nodded. She went to prepare breakfast, meanwhile, her phone rang…

“Okay then pick me up from my home. I'll ask sachin to leave. “ she said and disconnected the call.

Sachin came by and hugged her..

“Ready ho jao. I'll drop you.” he said.

“Nahi, tum jao. Sneha will pick me.Kuch kaam hai toh rehersals late shuru hongi. “ she informed.

He nodded, she served him breakfast. They had a light chit chat, he gave a quick peck on her lips and left the house. She smiled and then went to get ready.

CID Bureau

He reached bureau and found the team discussing something. He joined them and he was told that they had to visit a farmhouse, where two people were murdered. Soonish, they left the bureau, for the farmhouse which was situated in Andheri.

The place was lonely. A small crowd was assembled in front of a bungalow. The team entered in and began their investigation. The couple who were dead, were told to be the owners of the house. The watchman told that they came there once in a month or two.

The team began searching for proofs or witness. They were checking the rooms. Sachin climbed up the stairs, and there was a big room. It seemed to be a playing room of kids. Toys were spread all over the room. Daya followed him up and was surprised..

“Lagta hai is ghar mein koi bacha bhi tha. “ he said.

“Par koi bacha dikha toh nahi. “ Sachin said.

“kamre ko dekh kar lagta hai ki bacha chota hai, kahin bhaag toh nahi sakta. Kya pata yahin kahin ho. Dhundho ache se. “ Daya spoke.

They searched but they didn't find anything. They moved out of the room, but something chided Sachin. He turned back into the room, and bent to look down under the bed.

He was shocked to see a little girl hiding under the bed. She got scared seeing him.

“Beta aap yahan kya kar rahe ho? Chalo bahar aao. “ he said softly.

The little girl denied. She seemed scared. Sachin smiled..

“Main kuch nahi karunga. Main toh aapse dosti karne aaya tha. “ he said.

The girl looked at him and crawled out of the bed. Sachin made her stand and asked…

“Aapka naam kya hai? “

She looked at him and then answered innocently..

” Ruhi” she said.

Sachin smiled… “acha ruhi, aap yahan kya kar rahe they?  Bed ke neeche?” he asked.

“Mumma ne bola tha. Wo bad uncle ne papa ko maara tha. “ she replied while crying.

Sachin sighed hearing her. The little girl had lost her parents, and now was alone in the world. Meanwhile Daya entered in..

“Arey sachin, kahan reh gaye? “ he asked.

Sachin told about the girl to Daya, which made him worried as well. Daya looked at her, and bent to her level, but she got scared and hid behind sachin,who smiled..

“Beta daro Mat, wo bhi aapke dost hai. “  he said.

Ruhi nodded negatively… “wo dost nahi hai.” she said.

Sachin smiled… “acha mujhse dosti karoge? “ he asked.

She looked at him, and then nodded her head positively, pecking a kiss on his cheek. Sachin smiled and lifted her in his arms and left to the bureau.

The little girl was scared and confused as the team was asking her so many questions.  She got irritated..

“Aap log itne sare questions kyun puch rahe ho. Ruhi ko kuch nahi pata. “ she said innocently making others laugh.

“Koi baat nahi beta, hum pata laga lenge. “ Daya spoke while smearing her head.

“Mujhe ghar jana hai. Mumma ke paas jana hai. “ she said unknown of the the circumstances. She looked here and there, it seemed she was searching for Sachin. Shreya went to her…

“ kya baat hai beta? Kise dhundh rahe ho? “ she asked.

“Wo ache wale uncle… “ she paused, as she didn't know his name..

Meanwhile Sachin entered in, her eyes twinkled and she ran to him…

“Ruhi ko ghar jaana hai. “ she said.

He finished his talk with Abhijeet and Daya, and turned to Ruhi…

“Aap mere sath rahoge? “ he asked.

Ruhi nodded affirmatively…

“Haan! Fir aap mujhe mumma ke paas le jaoge na? “ she asked.

He just nodded. She hugged him. He lifted her in his arms and turned to ACP, telling him that he wanted to keep her with him untill the case gets solved. He permitted and Sachin took Ruhi to his home.
