TWO YEARS AGO AFTER ISHAN'S FATHER'S DEATH , ISHAN WENT TO LONDON TO PUT HIS MIND AT EASE. TO GET OUT OF ALL GLOOMY MEMORIES AS HE LOST BOTH HIS PARENTS AND NOW HE HAD NO ONE WHOM HE CAN CALL FAMILY EXCEPT HIS UNCLES.

PRESENT DAY:

"HOW ARE YOUR INTERROGATION PRACTICE SESSIONS GOING?" DAVID ASKED ISHAN AT THE DINNER.

"I THINK I AM PREPARED. UNCLE KANE REALLY HAS SOME SKILLED MEN." ISHAN SAID.

"I MADE SOME KHAO NEOW TOORIEN FOR DESSERT TODAY." RISHABH ANNOUNCED, BRINGING THE DISH OUT OF THE KITCHEN.

"WELL, I AM NOT A FAN OF DURIAN BUT GUESS WHO IS." SHUBMAN TEASED.

"GIVE THEM A BREAK. YOU ARE ALWAYS PULLING THEIR LEGS. LOOK AT HOW SURYA IS BLUSHING." ISHAN TOLD SHUBMAN.

SURYA AND RISHABH EXCHANGED EYE CONTACT AND SHUBMAN NOTICED IT AND YELLED , "AH HOW CUTE. LOOK AT THEM LOVEBIRDS COMMUNICATING SILENTLY THROUGH EYE CONTACT."

EVERYONE LAUGHED AND IT WAS A JOLLY ATMOSPHERE WITH A GREAT DINNER.

TWO YEARS AGO AT TRAVIS'S HOUSE...

"KANE, I WANT THE LIST OF THE CLIENTS THAT BUY METHAMPHETAMINE FROM US. I WILL BE HANDLING THEM FROM NOW ON." TRAVIS SAID.

"WHY?" DAVID ASKED, STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO KANE.

"YOU ARE HIS BODYGUARD. YOU DON'T GET TO ASK ME THAT QUESTION." TRAVIS LOOKED DOWN ON HIM.

KANE SAID BEFORE LEAVING, "I WILL PROVIDE IT TO YOU TOMORROW."

KANE WAS NOT IN A STATE TO ARGUE OR THINK STRAIGHT, STILL ENTANGLED IN HIS SORROW AFTER THE DEATH.

DAVID STOOD THERE THINKING THAT HE NEEDED TO STEP UP BECAUSE KANE WASN'T IN HIS RIGHT MIND. HE COULDN'T LET TRAVIS TRY TO TAKE OVER THE BUSINESS FROM KANE.

DAVID AND KANE WENT BACK TO KANE'S PLACE. WHEN THEY SAT DOWN IN THE LIVING ROOM, DAVID FINALLY SAID, "KANE, DO YOU NOT SEE WHAT HE IS TRYING TO DO? TRAVIS IS TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE BUSINESS FROM YOU. SIR HAS GIVEN THE RESPONSIBILITY ON YOUR SHOULDERS TO TAKE THIS BUSINESS FORWARD. IF IT WERE TO GO TO TRAVIS, SIR HIMSELF WOULD HAVE DONE THAT. OF COURSE THERE MUST BE SOME REASON WHY SIR CHOSE YOU INSTEAD OF HIS OWN BROTHER TO LEAD THE BUSINESS."

KANE SAID, "I KNOW. GIVE ME SOME TIME TO THINK. THERE IS SO MUCH GOING ON RIGHT NOW. OH AND HAS ISHAN CALLED?"

DAVID NODDED HIS HEAD SIDEWAYS.

"HIS FATHER JUST DIED AND HE IS OUT VACATIONING WHEREAS HIS UNCLE IS BUSY TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE BUSINESS. IT SEEMS LIKE HE DOESN'T CARE. AND WE WHO ARE NOT RELATED TO SIR BY BLOOD AND WE ARE THE ONES MOURNING. WHAT A WORLD WE LIVE IN, DAVID."

DAVID PUT HIS HAND ON KANE'S HANDS, SHOWING SUPPORT.

"AND DAVID, ABOUT EARLIER TODAY, YOU ARE NOT JUST MY BODYGUARD. YOU MEAN MUCH MORE TO ME THAN THAT. YOU KNOW THAT RIGHT?"

DAVID KNEW HE WAS A FRIEND, NOT JUST HIS BODYGUARD.

DAVID NODDED IN AFFIRMATION. HE WISHED HE WAS MORE THAN A FRIEND THOUGH.

PRESENT DAY AT KANE'S HOUSE...

"THE INTERROGATION WITH THE POLICE WENT AS EXPECTED. THEY ARE NOT SUSPECTING ME ANYMORE." ISHAN INFORMED KANE AFTER ARRIVING HOME FROM THE POLICE STATION.

"GO GET FRESHENED UP. I HAVE TO SPEAK TO MY LAWYER FIRST ABOUT MY STATEMENT AS YOUR ALIBI." SHUBMAN SAID TO ISHAN.

"SHUBMAN, TALK TO YOUR LAWYER AFTER SOME TIME. COME SIT DOWN WITH ME FOR A MINUTE. WE NEED TO TALK." KANE SAID.

THEY BOTH SAT DOWN.

"WHAT IS IT ABOUT, DAD?" SHUBMAN ASKED.

"I WAS THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE OF MY BUSINESS. YOU WILL BE INHERITING THE LEGAL BUSINESS BUT WHAT ABOUT THE DRUGS AND ARMS BUSINESS? I DON'T HAVE ANYONE ELSE TO INHERIT IT. YOU ARE MY ONLY SON. NOW THAT YOU ARE AN ADULT, IT HAS TO GO TO YOU."

"NO, DAD. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN FAVOUR OF THIS BUSINESS OF YOURS AND WITH DUE RESPECT, I DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT. I WILL NOT BE TAKING OVER YOUR MAFIA BUSINESS. IT IS OUT OF THE QUESTION." SHUBMAN WAS VERY STERN IN HIS STAND.

"THEN WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO IT? WHO IS GOING TO TAKE THE BUSINESS FORWARD?"

"NO ONE. LET IT DIE DOWN. NO ONE HAS TO CONTINUE THIS ILLEGAL BUSINESS, DAD." SHUBMAN GAVE HIS FINAL DECISION AND WENT INTO HIS ROOM.

"I AGREE WITH WHAT HE SAID. IF HE DOESN'T WANT ANY PART OF IT, WE SHOULD RESPECT HIS DECISION." DAVID TOLD KANE AFTER HEARING ABOUT THE CONVERSATION KANE HAD WITH SHUBMAN.

"YOU HAVE ALWAYS MADE THE RIGHT DECISION AND I WILL TAKE YOUR WORD FOR IT. SO SIR'S BUSINESS ENDS WITH ME."

"YES, AND YOU HAVE DONE SO MUCH. YOU HAVE OVERCOME BIG OBSTACLES AND KEPT UP HIS NAME AND THE LEGACY HE LEFT BEHIND HIM. YOU SHOULD BE PROUD." DAVID SAID.

"I WISH MY SON WAS PROUD OF ME." KANE SIGHED.

"HE SURE IS. HE IS PROUD OF HOW YOU HAVE BROUGHT HIM UP. YOU MADE HIM CAPABLE ENOUGH TO STAND ON HIS OWN FEET AND START HIS OWN BUSINESS. BUT AT THE SAME TIME, WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE YOUNG GENERATION IS VERY ALERT AND AWARE. THEIR MENTALITY IS DIFFERENT FROM OURS. THEY WILL NOT SUPPORT ANYTHING THAT IS ILLEGAL. WE HAVE TO ADAPT TO THE CHANGING TIMES. SO JUST BECAUSE HE DOESN'T APPROVE OF OR WANT ANY PART OF YOUR BUSINESS DOESN'T MEAN HE IS NOT PROUD OF YOU."
