Jaydev entered Aryan's firm and made his way to his cabin followed by officer Adnan Khan and Shefali. Aryan's assistant guided him the way.
She opened the door for them and they entered. Aryan was talking to someone with back facing them and standing near the window.
He turned around when he heard footsteps approaching his cabin.
" Yes, I will make sure. Tell him not to be worried."
He disconnected the call and Jaydev sat on the couch. Adnan and Shefali stayed standing. Aryan walked toward him.
" With whom you were talking?"
" Sahir. My boss? Akshat got to know about my accident and needed details."
Jaydev nodded and gestured to his officers to sit down.
" Ms. Patel?"
Aryan called his assistant who showed up in the next few seconds. He ordered her to bring some snacks and tea for them.
He, then diverted his attention to Jaydev and asked,
" Any report on Karan Khanna?"
Jaydev shook his head, " no matter how much we beat him, he won't open his mouth. Dude has a thick skin and is very loyal to his master."
Aryan hummed.
" So, were they Rao's men?"
Jaydev asked and earned a positive response from Aryan. Sigh left his mouth, noticing his distress, Aryan said.
" You will have to face these goons by keeping yourself out of the system. If you take the help of law, they will get out of here in a jiffy. These people will protect themselves and in the name of law, we will keep following the rules."
Jaydev stared at his face for a few seconds then smiled slightly and shook his head,
" The day I wore the uniform, I took the oath that I won't go against the law. If those bastards think they can use the law, let them. I, too, know various ways. I will ensure that he is given the death penalty."
Aryan took a deep breath and nodded..
Adnan Khan parted his mouth to speak, " but what if we get questioned about another gang helping us?"
" This thing will not come out. And anyway these people are only showing us the way," Jaydev said and frowned when something clicked in his mind.
He looked at Aryan and said, " I wanted to talk about Eisha."
Aryan thinned his eyebrows confusedly. He glanced at Adnan and Shefali then back at Jaydev who continued,
" You said nothing happened between you and Eisha. She later sorted out everything with me but in some days, she.. "
He gulped down his saliva, recalling the horrible day and saying, " attempted suicide."
" Yes?"
Jaydev shook his head, " I feel something very strange is being missed out. Like, we are unable to solve a puzzle."
Aryan's assistant came with snacks and tea and put everything on the table. Aryan fell into deep thoughts and realised that whatever Jaydev is saying is correct.
They surely missed a piece in the midst of their fight.
" You mean, she was.. murdered?"
" Yes," Shefali quickly said and Aryan looked at her confusedly because according to his knowledge, she doesn't know much.
" She saw her file so I told her. She is the one who mentioned that Eisha can't commit suicide."
Aryan took a deep breath and rested his back against the couch, " considering how she lived life, she is not wrong at all."
" Exactly,"
Shefali agreed and continued as everyone looked at her,
" I mean, as Sir told me about her, I don't think that a girl like her can commit suicide. She had also solved the fight with Sir, so don't you people think that her death has become a mystery?"
Jaydev nodded and said, " I will reopen Eisha's case."
Eisha's case- he was the only to file complaints with the help of her family. His main suspect was Aryan but unfortunately, Aryan was proved innocent.
Aryan looked at him with bewilderment, " in the midst of this mission?"
Jaydev nodded, " 5 years, Aryan. I have been ignoring this fact for the past 5 years. What if she really did not commit suicide? What will I answer myself?Was this how I knew that girl?"
Aryan sighed, " just make sure you do not mess things up. A slight mistake and the Rao gang won't hesitate to take over."
" I will," Jaydev stood up along with his officers.
Aryan stared at them as they started leaving the cabin. His eyes stayed longer on Shefali. She seemed strange to him. He is experienced in reading people's expressions. The way she got excited at Eisha's case and showed her interest in solving the case depicted that something is running in her mind.
Is it a genuine curiosity of a cop or she is deliberately trying to divert Jaydev's focus.
He dialled a number which was picked up by his man, " yes sir?"
" I want you to extract information about a police officer, Shefali Ahmad."
He disconnected the call and before he could put it back in his pockets, it rang with a notification.
He frowned and checked the message of an unknown number.
Meet me tonight. I can help you with the current case.
He clenched his jaw and thought to block the number but just then another message popped up.
Eisha's case.
His eyes widened slightly, not knowing how Jivika Rao knew about Eisha's case. He looked around his cabin and wondered if she had put cameras here.
He clicked his tongue. What if she is trying to attract him? She is a lawyer. She can extract anyone's information in no second. She might have found out about his past as well and not trying to play smart.
With this thought, he blocked the number.
Jaydev entered the police station at 7PM and witnessing sudden darkness, he stopped on his track.
" Where are the others?"
He uttered and waited for an answer from Shefali or Adnan but they did not.
" What-"
He startled lightly when light suddenly returned and before he could react, loud voices echoed in the whole station.
" HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!"
Smile formed on his lips and he glanced at Adnan and Shefali, wishing him as well. A lady constable showed up with cake before him.
" Cut the cake, sir."
She handed him the knife. He blew the candles then cut the cake and started feeding them one by one. When he thought, the party was over an officer came forward and informed him,
" There is no work today. We have arranged a party for you today. Come."
" No-"
" Sir, please.."
Everyone requested. He sighed then nodded. They squealed and took them to the back side of the station. He passed an impressed look seeing the decoration they had made. Alcohol is available. Food is available.
They made him sit on his seat and one of the officers clapped twice.
His eyes enlarged slightly seeing dancers making their entry. He stood up hurriedly, " No. All this is not going to happen here-"
" Sir, just sit down."
Shefali pushed him down.
" Try to understand. Are you guys mad-"
" Sir, just tonight. Let's have fun."
None of the officers supported him and started convincing him. He let out a deep sigh and gestured to them to continue the show.
He stared at the 5 female dancers in shiny clothes- skirt and blouse. They looked beautiful. He checked the time and recalled that Shruti told him to come early to spend his birthday together.
He will try to escape soon.
The show began and the loud songs started tearing up the speakers. Dancers spread their magic with their skills and in no second attracted everyone.
Jaydev too started having fun seeing all the officers dancing as if it's their last day on the earth. Although he made up his mind not to drink today, he drank 2 glasses of alcohol anyway.
Dancers pulled him to the dance floor and he tried hard not to touch them anyway. With his friends and other officers, he couldn't hold his urges anymore and started dancing to the tune of the song.
It was as if the atmosphere of the gathering had changed. Everyone was having a lot of fun with their SP taking the lead now.
Jaydev made his friends drink the alcohol and showered some on the crowd. He forgot the tickling of time in his watch which soon crossed 9PM.
Shruti came out of the cab and stared at Jaydev's police station. She paid the driver and tucked the strands of her hair behind slightly. She looked around and spotted his car parked.
She walked toward it and found his mobile in the car itself. That is why he did not pick up her 10 calls and she had to come here to check upon him.
" Hm?"
She heard loud sounds of music and a lot of noise. Is there a party going on?
She followed the noise and eventually reached the back side of the station. She halted on her steps, seeing the atmosphere of the police station.
She tilted her head slightly and widened her eyes.
" What is happening here?"
She uttered and tried searching for her husband in the crowd. Suddenly everyone started slapping and hooting. She narrowed her eyebrows and lifted her foot to walk further.
She just hopes her husband is not in this crowd.
" Excuse me?"
She patted the back of a man who was blocking her way. He turned around and gasped slightly, recognising her.
" Madam? Come come. I'll take you to sir," Adnan said.
So, he is here only- Shruti thought.
Adnan started making way for her and she reached in front of the crowd. She could see five female dancers with her husband and 4 more male officers.
She did not care about anyone except her husband.
" Kya tharki pati hai mera?"
( What a perverted husband I have?)
She uttered, looking up and down at him who seemed completely wasted. Few upper buttons of his shirt are open, hair is messy and the man has not yet noticed her.
She glared at him, who was having the happiest night of his life while she was waiting for him for an hour. Adnan went to Jaydev and tried letting him know about Shruti's presence.
" Sir, your wife is here-"
He widened his eyes and a bottle dropped from his hand. He turned around hurriedly and found Shruti glaring at his soul while standing 10 feet away from him.
He forgot about her. The sound of music turned low as he walked toward Shruti.
" Uhm," he scratched the side of his neck. Everyone was amused seeing the fearless officer, who ordered them around and put the whole station on his head in anger, behaving all cowardly in front of his wife.
Shruti crossed her hands around the chest and continued scaring the poor man.
" Ye sab kya tha?"
( What was all that?)
She asked with a not very sweet tone. Jaydev looked around then back at her and said something he shouldn't have,
" Bas.. naach rahe the aur.. maze kar rahe the-"
( Just... Dancing and.. having fun-)
He widened his eyes when she started nodding her head.
" No no no I mean-"
He stepped back when she grabbed a stick from the ground and patted it on her palm like a teacher.
" I mean yes.. oh shit, I mean no..-"
" I won't leave you," Shruti uttered and tucked her pallu on the band of her saree then raised the stick to him but he quickly defended himself.
" Oh God! Save me."
He ran to save his life from his wife and laughter echoed in the surrounding. Officers started having fun and helped Shruti instead.
" I WILL FIRE YOU ALL!"
Jaydev warned them while jumping from one place to another to escape Shurti. His efforts did not last long when four officers held him.
He gasped loudly as Shruti stood two feet away from him. He closed his eyes tightly when she raised the stick to him but he did not feel the hit at all, instead heard the sound of the stick dropping down.
He opened his one eye and found no stick in her hand. Officers left him.
" Chalo re chalo. Saab ka masla nipat gaya."
( Let's go, everyone. Sir's matter is solved.)
Shefali said and everyone laughed, before leaving the couple alone.
Jaydev licked his lower lip slightly as Shruti came closer to him and started buttoning up his shirt.
" Dance karne ko kon bola un ladkiyon ke sath?"
( Who told you to dance with those girls?)
" Sorry," he forwarded his hand to wrap it around her waist but she did not let him and slapped his hand away.
" Stop."
His lower lip curved into a small pout as he sulked. She grabbed his hand, " let's go home now."
She pulled him away from there. She decided to drive but it was a stupid idea because he was trying to initiate the touch throughout the journey.

Aryan leaned his mouth closer to Pakhi's ear. She is focused on writing something.
" Kya likh Rahi ho?"
( What are you writing?)
She gasped and quickly shut the book. He stood straight when she turned around while still seated on the stool.
" Aise kon karta hai? Dhang se nahi bol sakte."
( Who behaves like this? Can't you speak properly.)
She said with a red hue on cheeks.
" First show me the book-"
He crouched down and tried taking the book but she did not let him, by pushing him back.
" No!'
She stood up and tucked the strands of her hair behind the ear nervously. He stared at her suspiciously.
" Now I really want to see."
" Tsk! How many times I have to tell you to keep your lawyer mind out when you are with me," she complained and grabbed the book then walked toward the almirah.
She put it in the safe and locked it with a key.
" Mere liye gaaliyan likhi hai kya tumne?"
( Have you written any abuses for me?)
He continued making up theories. She faced him and crossed her hands around the chest.
" What if I had? Still, it doesn't give you the right to invade someone's privacy."
He smiled and started unbuttoning his shirt, " but you are my personal property."
" I am not your property," she refused and he removed his shirt.
" Wait-"
She walked closer to him and raised her hand to touch his neck.
" What is it-"
He removed her hand from his neck, " nothing."
She tilted her head slightly and he went to the bathroom. But she saw the red mark on his neck. Anyways!
She quickly unlocked the safe and hid her book under the pile of her clothes because he has several files in the safe and he can take it.
She smiled widely and closed the almirah. How happy he would be to know that she has started loving him. She is thinking of surprises and it won't take her many days to confess her love. She loses the bet and is not even bothered about this.
Now why should she care about anyone when her heart has crossed all limits. He proved his love, care, loyalties and trust to her. She won't make him wait for many days now. He will receive all the rights to her.
She watched him as he came out of the bathroom and made his way to the bed. He lay on it and she joined him after turning off the lights.
" Did something happen today?"
" No. Why?"
He faced her and she put the duvet on her legs.
" You seem tense."
He parted his mouth to reassure her but no word came out of his mouth. She put her fingers into his hair and he instantly felt the soothing effect rushing down his spine.
" You can tell me."
He smiled and shook his head then lifted his head and put it on her lap. She did not push him or whined at all. She let him wrap his arm around waist and snuggle his face against her belly.
She stroked his hair lovingly with a smile on lips until his intentions slipped away and he started rubbing his tip of nose against her clothed belly.
" Don't," she said timidly.
He stopped momentarily only to move his head back a little and opened the lower buttons of her night shirt.
" Don't," she put her hand on his. He lifted his gaze and stared into her eyes and it was enough for her to lose her grip on his lap.
She bit the corner of her lower and felt her heart skipping a beat. Goosebumps spread on her skin and she automatically rested her back against the headpost.
She gulped down her saliva, feeling his hot breath against her bare belly. She fisted the bedsheet when he hooked his finger on the band of her trousers and slid it down a little to expose her navel.
She closed her eyes tightly as he placed his lips on her navel. She inhaled a deep breath and exhaled when he withdrew his lips.
She sucked her breath the very next second when he again placed his lips on her navel and this time, stuck out his tongue and poked it into her belly button.
She rested her head back on the headpost, exposing her neck. Her nipples stood hard due to the effect of sensations he is giving just by his mere kisses on belly.
He slipped his hand under her shirt and got the hold of the side of her belly.
" Ah!"
She startled lightly as he squeezed her love handles. Her chest heaved up as he bit her flesh and pulled it with his teeth. He opened his eyes and stared up at her face while nibbling on her belly. She is breathing heavily and looks really mesmerizing while exploring her desires.
She slid her hand from hair to the right shoulder and held it tightly.
" Ar..yan," she whispered and tried pushing him but he deepened his kiss on her belly and hummed in satisfaction while giving equal attention to her love handle. The way he is squeezing it- she would die.
His pleasurable torture stopped a point when he moved his face and smirked seeing fresh mark on her belly, just beside her navel. He pecked it.
She let out a relaxed breath.
" Tell me if it starts fading. It suits you. I'll make it appear again."
She slapped his shoulder and pushed his head down from her lap.
" Never."
She lay down and turned her back at him, not wanting him to see her red cheeks. He wrapped his arm around her waist from behind. Her shirt moved up and stayed just an inch below her breast as he kept his arm on her naked waist.
She smiled shyly and closed her eyes. He kissed the back of her head.
" Good night."
She did not say anything and both eventually drifted into their dreamland.
