Sameeksha's POV
I was serving breakfast, "Mandy kaha hai?" Abhishek asked, "Bandana kaha hai? Subhah se dikhi nhi" I asked, "ermm, Daadi bhi to nhi dikhi" Sumedh said.

We just looked at each other. "Bhabhi aur Mandy abhi takk uthe hi nhi honge" Abhishek smirked, "Bandana kabhi itna late nhi uthti" I said with a poker face.

"Me check karke aati hu" Aarushi said and went to Bandana's bedroom.

A few moments later, we heard Aarushi screaming. We ran upstairs and found Manjot Bhaiya laying on the floor.

"Doctor ko phone karo jaldi" Sumedh said, Abhishek was about to call the doctor when Bandana came.

"Zarurat nhi hai, ek ghante ke andar hosh aa jaega. Mene kal raat Manjot ko ek drug dia tha. Uska asar jaldi khatam ho jaega" She said not looking at us.

Everyone was confused, we were expecting her to tell us what exactly happened.

"Manjot ko hosh aane do, fir sab batati hu" She said. "Bhabhi Daadi kaha hai?" Sumedh asked.

"Jaha unhe hona chahiye" She replied, "matlab?" Aarushi asked, "kaha na, Manjot ko hosh me aane do fir batati hu" She said.

I was just observing her, her attitude was totally different from what she used to be.

Manjot's POV
I opened my eyes and everything was looking normal yet odd.

Everyone was standing around the bed, I saw Bandana sitting, holding my hand.

I took my hand back, "mere pass aane ki koshish bhi mat karna!" I said sitting on the bed, "Manjot me" She said with teary eyes, "shut up" I stopped her.

"Yeh to me samajh gaya hu ke tum woh nhi ho jo sabke saamne pretend kar rhi ho" I said, "itna sab kucch ho gaya, ab to batao sacch kya hai" I said.

She gave me a card.

Bandana's POV
Manjot's expressions on reading my ID were an indication of the end of our married life.

"What nonsense!?" He said in disbelief. He passed the ID to Abhishek, everyone in the room looked at my ID one by one.

A servant came, "Bhaiya, koi sahab aae hai. Bandana Bhabhi se milne aae hai" He said, "sahab nhi, tumhari Bhabhi ke aashiq unse milne aae hai" Manjot said staring at me and standing up.

I just lowered my lashes to hide those tears. We went downstairs and as expected it was chief.

"Chief, Jaya Sharma ka statement headquarters pohonch gaya hai. She's under our custody" I reported. He nodded.

"Manjot, we are really very sorry. Hame yeh sab plan karna pada..." chief was saying when Manjot stopped him.

"Aap nhi, sacch yeh bataegi" He said standing in front of me.

I looked up, "me...woh..." I was finding it hard to say the truth, "karte hue darr nhi laga, ab kyu darr rhi ho?" He asked. I closed my eyes to let out those tears.

"Me CBI ke lie undercover kaam karti hu. Jab college geyi tab meri training start hui thi, Chief ne sab manage kia mere lie taaki kisi ko pata na chale ke me college ki jagah CBI training kar rhi hu" I said.

"Training ke baad mujhe mera pehla case mila. ACP Nivedita Dutt murder case. Iss mission pe jo bhi officer aata tha woh maara jaata tha, kese? Pata nhi. Koi evidence nhi rehta tha. Hamne plan banaya ke ham kisi officer ko Sharma family me bhejenge. Jisse woh officer Sharma family ki har baat jaan sake. Mere luck ne mera saath diya kyu ki Aarushi aur Sumedh ek dusre se pyaar karte the, jisse mera yaha aana easy ho gaya. Manjot se shaadi karne ke ilava aur koi option nhi tha" I said.

Someone pulled my elbow, I turned and Sameeksha slapped me hard on my right cheek.

I clenched my fists but didn't react. With the corner of my eye, I saw Manjot making a small step towards me.

"Sameeksha!" Chief shouted, "aaj takk kisi ki himmat nhi hui Bandana ko maarne ki" He said, "I deserve it Chief" I said.

"Tujhe sharam nhi aayi yeh sab karte hue? Sabko dhoka diya tune! Mujhe, Aarushi ko, Manjot Bhaiya ko, yaha takk ki apne Ishan Veerji ko bhi!" She shouted.

"To kya Daadi ab jail me hai?" Abhishek asked, "Mrs Sharma ne jo kiya, unhe uski sazah zarur milegi. Hamne unka statement record kar liya hai, ab sab court pe depend karega ke unhe kitni sazah hoti hai" Chief said.

"Bandana" Chief said, "thank you very much iss mystery ko solve karne ke liye" He said, "lekin baaki sab officers ki death kese hui?" Sumedh asked.

"Tumhari Daadi ne bataya ke tumhare Dadaji unhe maar daalte the, taaki case kabhi solve hi na ho. Jab yeh cases repeat hote rahe to hamne decide kia ke ghar ke andar se solve karna hoga. Isi lie Bandana ko appoint kia gaya" Chief replied.

"Bandana, you can report on duty whenever you feel like it" Chief said, understamding my situation. I nodded and saluted him. He left.
