Shabana was reading her newspaper, and suddenly her eyes fell on an article."Ishaan vijay ne shuroo ke Jaanch Kabir Dard maamala (Ishaan vijay starts his investigation on kabir darad case.) " shabana felt bad.

because this case originally belongs to her, Shabana took the newspaper with her and went outside she took a seat on her bike and went off to the police station.

arriving at the police station,

Shabana stormed into the police station, came inside Yash gupta cabin and she started saying "mujhe yaad hai ki yah kabir dard mera kes tha, aur ek maheene ke baad, aur main abhee bhee isake baare mein pata laga raha hoon aur is maamale par chupake se kaam kar raha hoon, aapane is eeshaan ko kes diya, jisane baig steeling, bhed laapata, aur khojane jaise saamaany maamalon ko hal kiya hai. 78 dinon mein billee ke bachche. (I remember that this Kabir dard was my case, and after one month, and I am still finding out about it and working on this case secretly you gave this Ishaan the case, who has solved normal cases like bag steeling, sheep missing, and finding kittens in 78 days.)"

"darasal 70 din (Actually 70 days)" Ishaan said correcting her And Shabana looks at him with an angry expression Well you may say they are never on good terms and then Shabana said "and sir he was the one who give me a petition for the last case which I was investigating," she said

yes, it is true. when Shabana was handling the case of Tara Tiwari back in 2019 Ishaan was not happy with how she was doing the case, and for many other reasons which were stupid like unprofessional, unethical, and so on as per shabana. take the example of Umar and Usha's case, when she arrested Umar this happened.

Flashback

Shabana angrily stormed out from Yash office and went to see ishaan who was outside the police station, "Agle petition main yeh bhi likhwa dena ki main Shaarabi, paagal aur Manic depressive hoo kyuki abhi yeh incomplete lag rahi hai (In your next petition also add that I am a drunkard, crazy and manic depressive because now it's looking incomplete) at least i am getting close to end the case! and what about you? took 3 weeks to solve a bloody missing kitten case" Shabana said or shouted at him and left saying "Duffer idiot"

flashback over.

"shabaana, mujhe pata hai ki aapane is kes par dhaee maheene kaam kiya, lekin mainne use kes nahin diya, kal kabeer dard hamaare ophis mein aaya tha(Shabana, i know you worked on this case for 2 and half months, but i have not given him the case, yesterday Kabir dard had come in our office. )" Yash said looking at her.

"wait, what?" Shabana asked in shock. "and now i wanted you and Ishaan to work on this case, and find out about this person" Yash said, and Shabana and Ishaan looked at each other with a hate full expression, well it looks like two enemies are working together in a team.

Shabana pov

third-person pov

"On 19 febuary 2022, Kabir came to meet me," Ishaan said and he started narrating the event.

Date 13 March 2022-

Ishaan was looking at the case file and by the time a boy came, with a bandage in his hand. Ishaan looked at him and said "aao baitho (come take a seat)" that person took a seat and he was looking down, his hair was messy his eyes were telling him that e has not slept for weeks, his hands were looking like he came from the war.

and suddenly Ishaan understood he is Kabir the famous writer. "tum Kabir dard ho? famous novelist? sorry crime novelist..(you are Kabir dard? the famous novelist? sorry crime novelist..) Ishaan said, Kabir looked at him and said "Yes.."

" mujhe pata hai ki mujhe ajeeb lag sakata hai lekin kya main poochh sakata hoon ki aapako kya hua? tum in dinon kahaan the?(sir, i know i may sound weird but may I ask what happened to you? where have you been these days?)" ishaan asked, "kaheen surakshit, us vyakti se surakshit (somewhere safe, safe from that person)" Kabir said.

"kisase? (from who?)" Ishaan asked again, "main usaka naam nahin jaanata, ya vah hamaare saath kya karane kee koshish kar raha hai.. main keval itana jaanata hoon ki use mehak chaahie. (I do not know his name, or what he is trying to do to us... I only know that he wants mehak)" Kabir said and the tears were forming in his eyes..

"kya hua? tumhaaree girlfriend hai? (what happened? where is your girlfriend?)" Ishaan asked, "hamaare nae ghar mein, aur main yahaan shikaayat darj karaane ke lie hoon (At our new house, and i am here to file a complaint)" Kabir said looking at him.

Kabir pov

"main mehak se enajeeo mein mila tha, us samay main use kabhee pasand nahin karata tha..sankshep mein, ham bahut achchhe se nahin milate the..(I met mehak in NGO, I use to never like her that time .. in short, we did not get along very well.. but I thought I should be friends with her, why keep hate along in my life.."

Flashback

"vaah Kabir , tum mujhase dostee kee shuruaat kar rahe ho sakht paanee pooree.(wow kabir, you are starting your friendship with me tough Pani puri.)" mehak said eating pani puri.
"ohh maidam, jhooth mat bolo.. aapako paanee puree bahut pasand hai ( ohhh madam, do not lie.. you love pani puri)" Kabir said. "That everyone loves.." Mehak said eating pani puri..

Flashback over.

"ham kuchh samay ek saath bitaate hain aur dheere-dheere pyaar mein pad jaate hain ... aur mehak hamesha kahatee thee ki ve is duniya mein do tarah ke log hain, niraashaajanak romaantik aur yathaarthavaadee, aur main vah niraashaajanak tha .. aur ham ek saath rishte mein the. (We spend some time together and slowly fall in love... and mehak always use to say they are two types of people in this world hopeless romantic and realist, and I was that hopeless one.. and we were in a relationship together.)

tab i ek prasiddh lekh ban gaya, tab tak sab kuchh theek chal raha tha (then I became a famous writer everything was going well untill )"

Flashback

I was outside in the chai stall, and by then I got a call from mehak, "Ha mehak" I said holding the phone from my shoulders, " remember Simon says? I met him" mehak said and her voice was scared, Kabir got up from his chair and kept the half-eaten vara pav on the table "mehak what are you saying Simon says is a killer from my book, he is not real"

Flashback over

Third-person pov

"wait, Simon says? From your book with the name Simon says?" Ishaan asked, keeping the pen down from his hands, "haan, mujhe bhee us par vishvaas nahin tha, lekin us din se Simon says kahata hai ki mujhe mehak,se door rahane ke lie mare hue dhaage de raha tha, aur use chot na pahunchao. aur vah kaee tarah se ham par hamala karane kee koshish kar raha tha .. aur baakee aap jaanate hain .. (yes, i also did not believe in it, but since that day, Simon says was giving me dead threads to stay away from mehak, and do not hurt her. and he was trying to attack us in many ways.. and rest you know..) i do not understand what simon says want from us, why he is doing this.. i just want my close ones to be alive and okay" Kabir said and tears fell from his eye.

Ishaan wanted to help Kabir to catch this Simon killer, so he said "kabir, main is maamale kee jaanch karane ja raha hoon, aur krpaya mujhe apane nae ghar ka pata den taaki main aapase aur aapakee Girlfriend (Kabir, I am going to investigate this case, and please pass me your new house address so I can meet you and your girlfriend)"

Kabir felt happy, and he got up and left.

Now-

"wait, you mean this book villain Simon says was the one who attacked them?" Shabana questioned as Ishaan gave her the book name star blood. "he said so, we do not have any leads" Ishaan said, Shabana looked at the book which was in her hand and suddenly she remember two people who know everyone with a snap.

"advika you make the best food in the whole town!" Pirya her sister in law said. "haan beta, mainne kabhee palak paneer ka aanand nahin liya, jaisa mainne aaj kiya. (yes beta, I never enjoyed Palak paneer, as I did today.)" her father in law said. "kya jee, aap aise abhinay kar rahe hain jaise advika beta abhee aaya hai, saal ho gae! (are ji, you are acting as advika beta has just come, it has been years!)" Her mother-in-law said and advika give a small smile.

"lekin beeta, vah sahee hai. aap adbhut khaana banaate hain (but beta, he's right. you do make amazing food)" her mother-in-law said to advika "thank you ma" advika said then she looked at shaurya who was happy at her And advika smiled back.

Even it has been 3 and a half years in their marriage but it still feels that the couple does not know each other, advika looks at her phone waiting for a reply from advait, she has been in Goa for 2 years and she is wondering if everything is okay?
